NATO Signs Deal With Ukraine To Deepen Cyber Cooperation

Early this week NATO signed a new deal with Ukraine to boost cyber cooperation amid simmering tensions with Russia.

Ukraine and NATO first signed a technology-related agreement in 2015, and cooperation has increased over the years. The new deal aims to help Ukraine’s military modernize its information technology and communications services.

“The Memorandum signed today continues our cooperation established in 2015. With NATO’s support, we plan to further introduce modern information technologies and services into the command and control system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” said Natalia Galibarenko, Ukraine’s ambassador to NATO.

Last week, a cyberattack disabled some Ukrainian government websites. On Sunday, Ukraine blamed the incident on Russia, but Moscow denied responsibility and said it had "nothing to do with it. Military analysis news source Defense Post notes that "Western allies have warned that any land invasion could be presaged by a hacking attack designed to knock out key infrastructure in Ukraine."

"US software giant Microsoft warned Sunday that the cyberattack last week could prove destructive and affect more organizations than initially feared," the report adds.

Huge Explosion Hits Key Iraq-Turkey Oil Pipeline, Sending Oil Prices to 7-Year-High

A huge explosion hit a key oil pipeline in the city of Kahramanmaras in southeastern Turkey late on Tuesday evening, officials said, sending oil prices to a seven-year-high.

Turkey’s state pipeline operator Botas said in a statement that it had cut oil flow at the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline following the explosion and that firefighters and emergency personnel has been working to put out the blaze.

The explosion occurred near the 511th kilometer (318th mile) of the pipeline in Kahramanmaraş province’s Pazarcık district at around 19.30 local time. It is not yet known what caused the eruption.

Botas said the company’s emergency teams, Kahramanmaraş municipality officials, Gaziantep municipality officials, and firefighters were working together to get the situation under control and that the fire had been put out.

“The oil pipeline will be back in operation as soon as possible after the necessary measures have been taken,” the company said.

Kahramanmaraş Mayor Hayrettin Güngör told Ihlas News Agency on Tuesday that there had been no reported injuries from the blast and that authorities were working to contain the fires.

“Thankfully, there have been no casualties after the explosion,” Güngör said. “Our efforts to put out the fire are ongoing.”

Despite reports that the explosion may have affected some residential areas located near the explosion zone, Kahramanmaraş Governor Ömer Faruk Coşkun said this was not the case.

A highway near the explosion was temporarily closed, local news outlet The Daily Sabbah reports. Authorities also closed a nearby highway connecting Kahramanmaraş to neighboring metropolis Gaziantep as the fire has spread to those areas.

U of Michigan agrees to $490M settlement in sports doctor sex abuse scandal

The University of Michigan has agreed to a $490 million settlement with more than 1,000 former students who say they were sexually abused by a former sports doctor, their lawyers said Wednesday.

The university had been in mediation to resolve multiple lawsuits by mostly men who accused the late Dr. Robert Anderson of sexually assaulting them during routine medical examinations dating back to the 1960s.

“It has been a long and challenging journey, and I believe this settlement will provide justice and healing for the many brave men and women who refused to be silenced,” said attorney Parker Stinar, who represents about 200 victims.

Stinar said $460 million of the settlement would be shared among 1,050 victims, while the remaining $30 million has been set aside for future accusers.

University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald confirmed the settlement, but provided no additional details.

Anderson, who died in 2008, had worked at the university from 1966 until his 2003 retirement.

His tenure included stints as the top physician for multiple athletic teams, including football, and director of the university’s Health Service.

Several football players and other athletes were among those to come forward and accuse Anderson of sexually abusing them.

The university said it was first notified of the allegations against Anderson in July 2018 when an ex-student wrote a letter detailing the alleged abuse in the early 1970s.

A report by a firm hired by the school to probe the allegations later determined that staff missed many opportunities to stop Anderson throughout his nearly four-decade career.

Attorney Jamie White, who represents about 100 victims, said the university should be “commended and not condemned” for agreeing to the settlement.

“The University of Michigan has accepted responsibility financially and otherwise for harm that was caused by Anderson to so many young people that could have been avoided,” White said in a statement.

“Most of our clients had a strong love for the University and did not want to see permanent damage, but wanted accountability. I believe we accomplished those goals yesterday.”

The deal came just days after the university fired its president, Dr. Mark Schlissel, for having an alleged years-long affair with a subordinate.

Israeli government reacts to claims police snooped on own citizens

Several investigations have been launched in Israel over the alleged spyware abuse

The Israeli government has launched investigations into reports about the country’s police allegedly using NSO group’s Pegasus software to illegally intercept citizens’ calls.The information was reported on Tuesday by news daily Calcalist. Law enforcement, as well as Public Security Minister Omer Barlev, categorically denied the accusations, saying that the police had always followed the rule of law.

However, on Wednesday, the country’s justice minister Gideon Sa’ar admitted that there was “an unbridgeable gap” between the allegations in Calcalist and the police’s statements.

“The State Comptroller, as an independent official, did well to take it upon himself to examine [the matter], and I am told that an inquiry is also being conducted by the Attorney General,” Sa’ar said in a meeting of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee.

The State Comptroller’s office – the body that oversees the policies and operations of the government – has said in a statement that its head, Matanyahu Englman, has already been conducting a review of the use of technologies by the police.

“As part of this review, the alleged use of software, including NSO software, to hack into citizens’ cellphones will be reviewed,” reads the statement quoted by Israeli media.

Doctor who quit her job after being suspended for promoting ivermectin, criticizing mandates sues Houston Methodist Hospital for COVID data, financial reports

Dr. Mary Bowden, who was previously suspended from Houston Methodist Hospital for spreading what the hospital said was "misinformation" surrounding COVID-19 and who later quit her job there, is suing the hospital, the Texan reported.

What are the details?

Bowden, a private-practice otolaryngologist, promoted ivermectin as a viable COVID-19 treatment in 2020 — a move with which her employers took grave issue.

She announced the lawsuit on Monday and in a press conference said that she is demanding data from the hospital on the effects of COVID-19 vaccines along with financial reports.

During the conference announcing the pending litigation, Bowden said, "Medical freedom has been hijacked by hospitals, big pharma, insurance companies, and the federal agencies."

Bowden added that she and investigative reporter Wayne Dolcefino requested the information contained in the lawsuit in November and December, but the hospital reportedly did not respond.

The outlet reported that the suit — which was filed in state district court on Monday — is requesting "financial documents detailing all revenue generated at the hospital throughout he COVID-19 vaccination program, including details about reimbursements or payments from government, insurance companies, and patients." The suit is also requesting information about "any financial arrangements with pharmaceutical companies for COVID-19 treatments."

Bowden's suit also states that the hospital should make public the number of all recently admitted COVID-19 patients who were fully vaccinated and how many employees are experiencing breakthrough infections.

Bowden also pointed to the hospital's 2019's assets — which reportedly totaled approximately $4 billion — and said that the public is entitled to know how those assets have increased after 2019 and amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"I want to make this clear," she said during the conference. "I'm not seeking any financial gains from this or personal gain, I'm simply seeking the truth, which we all deserve."

Attorney Steve Mitby, who is representing Bowen, said that he fully expects that he and his client will receive the records.

"It's state law," he insisted.

Bowden added, “We all know that early COVID treatment works, it saves lives, and I’m not going to be silenced, intimidated, or bullied by Houston Methodist, Houston Chronicle, or anyone else who wants to target physicians that question the narrative.”

In November, Mitby said that Bowden had never peddled disinformation, as a Stanford University-trained physician who has had vast experience in treating coronavirus patients.

“She is helping her patients, through a combination of monoclonal antibodies and other drugs, to recover from COVID. Dr. Bowden's proactive treatment has saved lives and prevented hospitalizations," he said at the time. "Dr. Bowden also is not anti-vaccine as she has been falsely portrayed. Dr. Bowden has opposed vaccine mandates, especially when required by the government. That is not the same as opposing vaccines."

A Houston Methodist spokesperson declined to comment when approached by the Texan for its report.

Mexican governor and his wife are accused of 'violating the rights' of five-month-old sick boy they 'adopted' for a weekend from a state-run shelter by using him to make money with Instagram

A Mexican governor and his influencer wife are under federal investigation, accused of using a sick five-month-old boy for marketing on Instagram after they got special permission to take him home for the weekend from the state-run shelter where he lives.

Samuel García, governor of the northeastern state of Nuevo León, and Mariana Rodríguez, went to the Capullos Social Assistance Center in Guadalupe on Saturday and got a temporary guardianship consent for Emilio.

The child is diagnosed with schizencephaly, a rare birth defect that produces slits or clefts in the hemispheres of the brain. He suffers from seizures.

Rodríguez, who has been heavily involved with children's rights issues, developed a special bond with the boy several weeks ago during a visit to the shelter, Infobae reported.

The 25-year-old model acknowledged that the family was unable to apply for foster care because they lacked the required training.

But the couple was slammed by human rights groups that accused García and Rodríguez of using Emilio to give free publicity to private companies and the governor's political party.

One of the photos shows García and Emilio wearing jerseys of famous Mexican soccer club Tigres UNAL. Another snap showed García in branded gym workout gear standing next to his wife while she held Emilio.

Additional pictures also showed Rodríguez posing for selfies with the baby and sitting on a chair while the boy napped.

Rodríguez, who has more than 2 million followers on Instagram, drew backlash for video footage of Emilio that she uploaded to her Instagram Story.

'By showing the face of the five-month-old child in a video on the social networks of the aforementioned couple and after it was replicated by some media outlets, in addition to revealing his name and the health problems he faces, there is a clear violation of right,' the National System for Integral Family Development said in a statement Tuesday.

Save the Children's local chapter in Mexico tweeted that García and Rodríguez 'may even have committed human trafficking for using (Emilio's) image for political and commercial purposes in the communications of their social networks.'

The Network for the Rights of the Child in Mexico said it was worried about the 'excessive and unnecessary exposition' that García and Rodríguez subjected the child to even if they hold 'a legitimate interest in his life and his future.'

Rodríguez responded to the criticism by saying that at least 420 families came forward and expressed interest in becoming foster parents.

“Orders to Kill” Dr. Martin Luther King: The Government that Honors MLK with a National Holiday Killed Him

A Review of The Plot to Kill King by William Pepper

Very few Americans are aware of the truth behind the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Few books have been written about it, unlike other significant assassinations, especially JFK’s. For almost fifty years there has been a media blackout supported by government deception to hide the truth.

And few people, in a massive act of self-deception, have chosen to question the absurd official explanation, choosing, rather, to embrace a mythic fabrication intended to sugarcoat the bitter fruit that has resulted from the murder of the one man capable of leading a mass movement for revolutionary change in the United States. Today we are eating the fruit of our denial.

In order to comprehend the significance of this extraordinary book, it is first necessary to dispel a widely accepted falsehood about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. William Pepper does that on the first page.

To understand his death, it is essential to realize that although he is popularly depicted and perceived as a civil rights leader, he was much more than that. A non-violent revolutionary, he personified the most powerful force for the long-overdue social, political, and economic reconstruction of the nation.

In other words, Martin Luther King was a transmitter of a non-violent spiritual and political energy so plenipotent that his very existence was a threat to an established order based on violence, racism, and economic exploitation. He was a very dangerous man.

Revolutionaries are, of course, anathema to the power elites who, with all their might, resist such rebels’ efforts to transform society. If they can’t buy them off, they knock them off. Forty-eight years after King’s assassination, the causes he fought for – civil rights, the end to U.S. wars of aggression , and economic justice for all – remain not only unfulfilled, but have worsened in so many respects. And King’s message has been enervated by the sly trick of giving him a national holiday and urging Americans to make it “a day of service.” Needless to say, such service does not include non-violent war resistance or protesting a decadent system of economic injustice.

Australia BRAGS That They Will Keep Their Draconian Covid Restrictions In Place For An Entire GENERATION

Authorities in Australia have boasted that their draconian vaccine passport scheme, which bans the unjabbed from nearly all public places, is likely to remain in place for a generation.

Premier Mark McGowan announced the new Orwellian measures, which will go into effect from the end of the month, as “the broadest proof of vaccination requirements in the nation.”

The vaccine passport requirement will now cover “a wider range of venues.”

“From Monday, January 31, 2022, the vaccine passport mandates will cover cafes, restaurants, dine-in fast food joints, pubs, bars, taverns, clubs, nightclubs, and “all hospitality venues,” as well as private and public hospitals and aged-care facilities,” writes Ken Macon.

Summit.news reports: Entertainment venues such as “play centers, gaming and gambling, theaters, concert halls, museums, cinemas, and live music venues,” will also be off limits for the unjabbbed.

“Life will become very difficult for the unvaccinated…no pubs, no bottle-shops, no gym, no yoga classes, no gigs, no dance floors, no hospital or aged care visits,” said McGowan, adding that the unvaccinated must be “protected from themselves.”

He added that the rules, which will soon only count people who have had three doses as “fully vaccinated,” will ensure the public is “confident in these public settings, and that they are only mixing with other vaccinated people.”

The restrictions “will not be removed anytime soon” and could be in place “for years.”

Australia has become notorious for becoming the developed world leader in inflicting the most draconian COVID control measures on its population.

As we highlighted last month, Australia’s chief pharmacist Trent Twomey says the public “just need to accept” they will have to take regular vaccine booster shots every six months and continue wearing masks for “many years” to come.

Australia is also building COVID quarantine camps for “ongoing operations,” with one facility at Wellcamp Airport outside Toowoomba not even set to be completed until March.

Citing new strains of COVID and people “who have not had access to vaccination,” Queensland Deputy Premier Steven Miles told the media outlet, “We anticipate there to be a continuing need for quarantine facilities.”

Pentagon secretly studying how to let nonbinary troops serve openly, report says

The Pentagon may be quietly researching how it can accommodate individuals who identify as nonbinary — neither exclusively male or female — to serve openly in the military.

Military.com reported Tuesday that the Department of Defense recently asked the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), which conducts federally funded studies for the military, to research the issue of how nonbinary individuals can serve openly.

Nonbinary, or genderqueer, is a broad term that describes a number of different gender identities, including those who identify as a third gender that is neither male or female, identify with multiple genders, identify as having no gender (agender) or a fluctuating gender (genderfluid). Nonbinder individuals will often use personal pronouns other than he/she, him/her and mark their gender as “X” on forms that have that option.

There is no specific policy against nonbinary individuals openly serving, but there is also no official Pentagon policy acknowledging nonbinary individuals exist. While nothing is blocking nonbinary individuals from serving, no policies clarify gendered policies, such as what uniform to wear, what grooming standards to follow and where to shower and how fitness tests will be evaluated.

It is unclear how long IDA has been studying the issue of nonbinary individuals serving in the military. SPARTA, an organization that advocates for transgender troops in the military, has reportedly connected IDA researchers with a number of nonbinary service members this month.

U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Bree Fram, the president of SPARTA, compared this new study of nonbinary military service to the 2015 study Rand Corp. carried out for the Pentagon before allowing transgender individuals to serve openly in the military.

“Speaking with non-binary troops and defense officials to understand what regulation changes may be necessary is a great first step,” Fram told Military.com. “We are hopeful this will allow non-binary individuals to serve authentically and realize their full potential in the military.”

In response to a Military.com request for comment, IDA referred questions to the Pentagon. The Pentagon declined those questions, stating, “at this time as we do not provide information that may or may not be part of the Department’s research efforts.”

Jennifer Dane, the executive director of LGBTQ military advocacy group Modern Military Association of America, also told Military.com that members of her organization have also spoken with IDA. Dane believes researchers began the first stages of considering open nonbinary service sometime last year.

Johnson and Grassley ask Secret Service for Hunter Biden's unredacted travel communications

The senators argue that the Secret Service never should have redacted the communications

In a letter sent to the Director of the U.S. Secret Service, Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) express concern with the production of some of the travel records of now-first son Hunter Biden from the period when his father was vice president of the United States.

The senators take issue with the Secret Service's use of the Freedom of Information Act to redact sections of the travel records that they do not believe should have been given that treatment.

"The USSS’s production contains extensive Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) redactions, which do not apply to Congress and should not be applied to this production. These inappropriate redactions impede our offices’ ability to understand the full scope of the interactions between Hunter Biden, his associates, and the USSS," reads the letter.

The senators note that the service "hid names and other information contained in email conversations regarding Hunter Biden without any proper legal justification."

The letter goes on to describe a specific instance in which the redacted documents appear to protect an individual on then-Vice President Biden's Detail who appeared to have been coordinating seats on a private flight for Hunter Biden and his business associates from Paris to Kazakhstan. Grassley and Johnson note that "The USSS records that we previously made public show that Hunter Biden was in Paris, France from May 29, 2014 to June 7, 2014 while a protectee. The USSS records do not show whether USSS personnel or Hunter Biden traveled to Kazakhstan in May or June 2014."

Furthermore, the letter notes that the USSS has not made available any communications pertaining to Hunter's travel records from 2010-2011, and 2013. "The USSS's lack of communications during these years raises questions given that USSS travel records show that Hunter Biden made trips to China and other destinations around the world, including, Russia, Italy, Spain and Mexico," reads the letter.

The GOP lawmakers are requesting unredacted copies of the travel communications and an explanation for why no communications about the years listed above were provided.

Gretchen Whitmer’s Dark Money Hypocrisy

After preaching 'transparency,' Dem gov partners with dark money nonprofit to raise millions

Michigan Democrat Gretchen Whitmer's first gubernatorial campaign included a pledge to make the state's government "more transparent" and remove "unlimited" spending from politics. Four years later, her reelection bid is relying on a dark money group that raised $6.5 million from undisclosed donors with no contribution limits.

Road to Michigan's Future, a nonprofit group that works in concert with Whitmer's campaign and does not disclose its donors, raised $6.5 million in dark money in 2020 to support the Democrat, tax filings obtained by the Detroit News show. Two unnamed contributors combined to give the group more than $1.2 million, while 23 anonymous donors gave at least $100,000. The nonprofit is closely tied to Whitmer—one of its staffers, Heather Ricketts, also serves as the Democrat's campaign treasurer, and Whitmer herself has helped the group raise money, both Road to Michigan's Future and Whitmer's campaign confirmed Monday.

Whitmer's partnership with the nonprofit sharply contradicts the campaign rhetoric that helped send the Democrat to the governor's mansion in the first place. During her 2018 campaign, Whitmer released her "Michigan Sunshine Plan," which she said would "earn back public confidence" by "mak[ing] state government more open, transparent, and accountable." Included in the plan was a pledge to reverse legislation that allows certain political groups to "raise and spend unlimited amounts of money."

"I believe more money in politics is not the answer," Whitmer's plan stated.

Years later, the Democrat has not only failed to deliver on that promise, she's resorted to working directly with the same type of political group she derided in the past. The move has allowed Whitmer to massively expand the political funds at her disposal—Whitmer's campaign committee raised $2.7 million less than Road to Michigan's Future in 2020, state financial disclosures show.

Whitmer's campaign did not return a request for comment.

The nonprofit group went to work to support Whitmer immediately after it launched in January 2020, spending $1.4 million on ads that touted the Democrat's $3.5 billion bond plan to improve Michigan's highways. Road to Michigan's Future also gave $800,000 to a Michigan Democratic Party-linked fund and another $750,000 to Keep Michigan Safe, a group that opposed a petition effort aimed at curtailing Whitmer's emergency pandemic powers.

In addition to Whitmer's failure to rid Michigan of "unlimited amounts of money" in politics, the Democrat also backpedaled on a number of pro-transparency moves she could have implemented unilaterally. The Democrat declined, for example, to fulfill a 2018 campaign promise to voluntarily open her office to the Freedom of Information Act, which allows citizens to obtain government information and documents at their request. An April 2021 executive office memo shows that Whitmer requires other departments in her administration to notify her of "any FOIA response that could generate a media story now or in the future."

"If the legislature won't act, I will use the governor's authority under the Michigan state Constitution to extend FOIA to the lieutenant governor and governor's offices," Whitmer said in 2018. "Michiganders should know when and what their governor is working on."

This is not the only time Whitmer has worked to receive unlimited political contributions to boost her reelection chances. During a seven-month period last year, the Democrat used a campaign finance loophole to raise millions of dollars from out-of-state donors who gave more than Michigan's $7,150 candidate contribution limit. Just weeks later, Whitmer railed against "out-of-state interests" for "pouring millions of dollars into Michigan to try and flip the governorship" in a campaign email.

According to a recent Detroit News poll, just 40 percent of Michiganders would vote to reelect Whitmer, who is seeking a second term as governor in November. At least 12 Republicans have joined the crowded primary field to challenge the incumbent, including former Detroit Police chief James Craig, businessman Kevin Rinke, and Michigan State Police captain Michael Brown.

Pfizer CEO awarded Genesis Prize for efforts to combat COVID-19

The $1 million Genesis Prize, launched in 2013, honors extraordinary people for their professional achievements. Dr. Albert Bourla was chosen as this year's Genesis Prize Laureate.

Pfizer CEO Dr. Albert Bourla was announced as the 2022 Genesis Prize Laureate on Wednesday morning by the Genesis Prize Foundation.

"I never could have imagined that I might one day receive the profound honor of the Genesis Prize and stand alongside my extraordinary fellow nominees," Bourla said of his award. "I was brought up in a Jewish family who believed that each of us is only as strong as the bonds of our community; and that we are all called upon by God to repair the world."

The Genesis Prize Selection Committee recognized his "leadership, determination and especially his willingness to assume great risks," according to the foundation.

Bourla, a Jewish man who heads one of the largest medical companies in the world, has a deep connection to his identity and heritage and has been consistent in his support for Israel. He will be the ninth Genesis Prize Laureate, following Steven Spielberg who was awarded the prize in 2021.

He received the most votes in a recently concluded global campaign, during which 200,000 people in 71 countries voted online. The voters' choice was endorsed by the nine judges on the Genesis Prize Selection Committee.

UK Government Data proves the Covid-19 Vaccines DOUBLE your chances of catching Covid-19

The latest data published by the UK Health Security Agency proves without a shadow of doubt that Covid-19 vaccination doubles your chances of catching Covid-19.

1. There are presently over 7x more Covid19 cases in the double vaxxed than there are in the unvaxxed in circumstances where there are 3.5x more vaxxed people than unvaxxed people

1. In the last 4 weeks there were over 2 million fully vaccinated Covid-19 cases. Well, there is an effective vaccination for you!

1. Fully vaccinated people today are precisely twice as likely to catch Covid as unvaccinated people.

1. Those under 18 face a tiny risk from Omicron – equivalent to normal flu, which Covid has now mutated into

So let’s all rush out and get vaccinated in order to double our chances of catching the disease we are being vaccinated against shall we?.

Sajid Javid said that the vaccines would “protect young people from Omicron, help to keep schools open and protect their friends and families.” – https://inews.co.uk/news/education/get-kids-jabbed-keep-schools-open-health-secretary-urges-parents-1390819

Whereas in truth, the government’s own figures show unequivocally that vaccines double the danger you, your friends and your relatives face from Covid attack.

The UK government is promoting, financing and legislating a doubling of the size of the Covid pandemic.

To date, government prescribed health care has destroyed only 50% of your immune response to the flu. Obviously more work needs to be done to get this figure up to the 100% that Pharmaceutical companies desire. Because the one thing that stops them making profits is a fully functional immune system in their customers.

And of course if you are not one of their customers then you need to be fired from your job, locked up in your home, banned from visiting your dying relatives and falsely smeared as a covid spreader in circumstances where the government’s own figures show that you are twice as safe as their customers. So who are the drug pushers now?

Dr Fauci: Would you take a second shoulder shot from this man?

It used to be the case that athletes would get thrown out of sports competitions for taking performance enhancing drugs. Now they get thrown out of countries for not taking athlete killing drugs.

So here is the science. It is not rocket science. It is extremely simple. An unvaccinated person is twice as safe as a vaccinated person, and being vaccinated today is twice and dangerous as being unvaccinated according to the latest government figures.

That is the data which destroys the case for vaccine passports. It actully makes the case for unvaccinated passports.

Not One Body Has Been Found At Indigenous 'Unmarked Mass Grave' In Kamloops, Canada

Over a dozen churches were set on fire throughout Canada over claims that ground-penetrating radar discovered what appeared to be an "unmarked mass grave" of indigenous children "as young as three years old" in Kamloops, yet not one body has been exhumed and the radar signatures of "graves" may just be tree roots and stones.

From Professor Jacques Rouillard in The Dorchester Review, "In Kamloops, Not One Body Has Been Found":

AFTER SEVEN MONTHS of recrimination and denunciation, where are the remains of the children buried at the Kamloops Indian Residential School?

The Canadian Press has just honoured the children of residential schools as the "Person of the Year 2021." The huge media story last summer grew out of the scanning of part of the site in the British Columbia interior where the school operated from 1890 to 1978. The "discovery" was first reported last May 27 by Tk'emlúps te secwépemc First Nation Chief Rosanne Casimir after an anthropologist, Sarah Beaulieu, used ground-penetrating radar in a search for the remains of children alleged by some to be buried there. She is a young anthropologist, an instructor in Anthropology and Sociology at the University of the Fraser Valley since 2018. Her preliminary report is actually based on depressions and abnormalities in the soil of an apple orchard near the school – not on exhumed remains. According to Chief Casimir, these "missing children" represent "undocumented deaths." Their presence, she says, has long been "knowledge" in the community and "some were as young as three years old."

From new research revealed at a July 15 press conference last year, the anthropologist scaled back the potential discovery from 215 to 200 "probable burials." Having "barely scratched the surface," she found many "disturbances in the ground such as tree roots, metal and stones." The "disruptions picked up in the radar," she says, led her to conclude that the sites "have multiple signatures that present like burials." But she cannot confirm that until the site is excavated – if it is ever done. A community spokesperson says the full report "cannot" be released to the media. For Chief Casimir, "it is not yet clear whether the continuing work on the Kamloops site will involve excavation."

The Kamloops "discovery" of 2021 created a major sensation in Canada and abroad. Based on the preliminary assessment and before any remains were found or any credible report made, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau immediately referred to "a dark and shameful chapter" in Canadian history. British Columbia Premier John Horgan said he was "horrified and heartbroken" to learn of a burial site with 215 children that highlights the violence and consequences of the residential school system. Several other Aboriginal communities and media outlets then followed up with references to unmarked graves.

An investigation involving the Albanian Criminal Police (Policia e Shtetit), the Hellenic Police (Ελληνική Αστυνομία) and the Italian Financial Corps (Guardia di Finanza), and supported by Europol and Eurojust, led to the dismantling of a large organised crime group involved in migrant smuggling. The operation was carried out under the direction of Albanian, Greek and Italian judicial authorities.

The action day on 19 January 2022 resulted in:

28 house searches (15 in Albania, 2 in Greece and 11 in Italy)

29 arrests (18 in Albania, 1 in Greece and 10 in Italy)

Hundreds of millions of euros for smuggling more than 1 100 migrants into the EU

Authorities believe that the suspects, mainly of Iraqi and Syrian origin, are part of a criminal network of about 80 members that is allegedly responsible for at least 30 sea smuggling operations. The criminal group operated migrant smuggling activities from Turkey to the Salento coast of Italy via Albania and Greece, then to other EU countries. The investigation started with the detection of an ongoing smuggling operation, which saw the successful rescue of the transported migrants and the arrest of eight low-level smugglers.

The criminal networks primarily used sea routes for the transfer of migrants from Turkey, via the Eastern Mediterranean road, to their final EU destinations. The sea transfers were performed with the use of leisure vessels, mainly yachts, acquired or rented by the criminal network and skippered by novice seamen purposely recruited by the network. The suspects used informal money transfer services such as the hawala system to receive payments from migrants, with their illegal profits estimated at several hundred million euros.

Cross-border cooperation to increase detections

Europol supported this investigation for over 18 months, facilitating the secure exchange of information and the organisation of operational meetings between the investigators, also providing the law enforcement partners with regular intelligence analysis packages. On the action day, Europol deployed two experts to Albania, one to Italy and one to Greece to assist with the crosschecking of operational information against Europol’s databases, and to provide technical support with data extraction and analysis of digital evidence. In addition, Europol facilitated the exchange of investigators to ensure effective tactical support to the operation during its last phase and on the action day. Further operational activities are ongoing on internationally, aimed at unearthing the location and identities of additional suspects involved in the criminal network.

To facilitate the judicial cooperation, Eurojust set up a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) between Albania, Greece, Italy and Europol in January 2021. Eurojust set up a coordination centre during the action day and provided cross-border judicial support via the Italian and Greek desks at its headquarters, as well as the Liaison Prosecutor for Albania at the Eurojust. Eurojust facilitated and supported the exchanged of information among the JIT partners and Europol, and promoted five coordination meetings.

Participating law enforcement authorities:

• Albanian Criminal Police

• Hellenic Police - Aliens Division of Attica

• Italian Financial Corps (Guardia di Finanza) - Organized Crime Investigation Group (GICO) of Lecce and the Central Organised Crime Investigation Service (SCICO)

Nigerian cybercrime fraud: 11 suspects arrested, syndicate busted

The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has arrested 11 alleged members of a prolific cybercrime network as part of a national police operation coordinated with INTERPOL.

Arrested by officers of the NPF Cybercrime Police Unit and INTERPOL’s National Central Bureau (NCB) in Nigeria, many of the suspects are thought to be members of ‘SilverTerrier’, a network known for Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams which have harmed thousands of companies globally.

Intelligence-led operation

The ten-day Operation Falcon II (13-22 December) saw 10 NFP officers deployed from the Abuja headquarters to Lagos and Asaba to arrest target suspects identified ahead of time with intelligence provided by INTERPOL.

Field operations were preceded by an intelligence exchange and analysis phase, where Nigeria used INTERPOL’s secure global police communications network, I-24/7, to work with police forces across the world also investigating BEC scams linked to Nigeria.

The INTERPOL General Secretariat supported field operations 24/7, forensically extracting and analyzing data contained in the laptops and mobile phones seized by NPF during the arrests.

This preliminary analysis indicates that the suspects’ collective involvement in BEC criminal schemes may be associated with more than 50,000 targets.

One of the arrested suspects was in possession of more than 800,000 potential victim domain credentials on his laptop.

Another suspect had been monitoring conversations between 16 companies and their clients and diverting funds to ‘SilverTerrier’ whenever company transactions were about to be made.

Another individual was suspected of taking part in BEC crime across a wide range of West African countries including Gambia, Ghana and Nigeria.

“By alerting Nigeria to this serious cybercrime threat, INTERPOL enabled me to give the order to hunt down these globally active criminals nationwide, flushing them out no matter where they tried to hide in my country,” said Assistant Inspector General of Police Garba Baba Umar, Head of NCB Abuja and INTERPOL Vice President for Africa.

“The outstanding results of Operation Falcon II have served to disrupt this dangerous cyber gang and protect Nigerian citizens from further attack. I encourage fellow African countries to also work with INTERPOL in ridding our continent of cybercrime to make the cyber world a safer place,” added Mr Umar.

Following the global money trail

With BEC fraud having both a cyber and a financial element, Operation Falcon II saw financial ‘pathfinder countries’ belonging to INTERPOL’s Global Financial Crime Taskforce (IGFCTF) – including Nigeria – work together on cross-border financial investigations linked to the operation.

The IGFCTF is now coordinating further action against ‘SilverTerrier’ bank accounts and sharing intelligence on the domain credentials of potential victims with member countries to prevent further fraud.

“Operation Falcon II sends a clear message that cybercrime will have serious repercussions for those involved in business email compromise fraud, particularly as we continue our onslaught against the threat actors, identifying and analyzing every cyber trace they leave,” said INTERPOL’s Director of Cybercrime Craig Jones.

“INTERPOL is closing ranks on gangs like ‘SilverTerrier’; as investigations continue to unfold, we are building a very clear picture of how such groups function and corrupt for financial gain. Thanks to Operation Falcon II we know where and whom to target next,” added Mr Jones.

Hillary Clinton Will Hate What Was Found on the Walls of Jeffrey Epstein's Mansion

It seems as though attempting to wrangle her sex-obsessed husband has always been a pain for Hillary Clinton.

That pain might have just gotten a whole lot worse with a report Thursday.

According to records obtained by the Daily Mail, between 1993 and 1995, Jeffrey Epstein visited President Bill Clinton’s White House 17 times, bringing with him a total of eight women.

Epstein was a wealthy financier who was awaiting trial for allegedly trafficking and sexually abusing girls at the time of his death in prison in August 2019.

The convicted sex offender had connections to many celebrities, journalists and prominent political figures, including Clinton. Many of them were listed in Epstein’s little black book.

In its report on Epstein’s many visits to the Clinton White House, the Daily Mail noted that hanging on the walls of Epstein’s mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, were photos of these visits and a few of the women he had with him.

Democrat Rep. Hakeem Jeffries Slips, Admits Democrats’ Federal Elections Takeover Bill is Inspired by Venezuelan Socialist Hugo Chavez

That awkward moment when a Democrat tells the truth.

Democrat Rep. Hakeem Jeffries on Wednesday slipped and admitted the Democrats’ federal elections takeover bill was inspired by Venezuelan Communist-Socialist dictator Hugo Chavez.

The Democrats’ ‘voting rights’ bill will eliminate voter ID, legalize ballot harvesting and force taxpayers to pay for campaigns.

The election bill will essentially eliminate chain of custody and make it easier for Democrats to steal elections.

Jeffries quickly corrected himself after he realized he let the truth slip.

“…Inspired by Hugo Chavez…Cesar Chavez — when inspired by all of these leaders…” Jeffries said.

Australia: Former teacher charged with sexual abuse of teenage students granted bail

A former New South Wales private boys' college teacher has been granted bail after he was charged with the sexual abuse of two young students in the 1980s.

Key points:

Brian Napper, 74, was granted bail during his first court appearance since charges were laid earlier this week

The former Chevalier College teacher allegedly abused two students in the 1980s

The prosecution said Napper had made admissions relating to some of the alleged offences

Police allege Brian Napper sexually abused two boys aged 13 and 14 on multiple occasions between 1985 and 1987, when he was a teacher at Chevalier College in the Southern Highlands.

The 74-year-old was arrested on Tuesday and charged with 13 offences, including five counts of sexual assault.

He applied for bail at Bankstown Local Court on Wednesday.

In opposing bail, the prosecutor told the court that Napper had made admissions about a number of the alleged offences.

The court also heard he had previously served time in prison for similar offences.

But defence solicitor Mark Rosalky told the court Napper has been living "a quiet life" and had not come to the attention of the courts since 2011.

He also argued Napper was unlikely to receive proper medical treatment in prison if he was denied bail.

"He has a range of conditions that would not be appropriately or adequately cared for in custody," Mr Rosalky said.

"The bail conditions being proposed, combined with his limited record and time out of strife, are such that the risks can be ameliorated."

Despite granting bail, Magistrate Michael Connell said based on the facts it seemed the prosecution had a strong case and there was a likelihood of a sentence of imprisonment.

Napper has been ordered to reside at his Lakemba home, to not contact witnesses and not have unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 18.

The matter will return to Moss Vale Local Court in March.

Un-vaccinated billionaire Clive Palmer, 67, claims he doesn't need the Covid jab as he's 'not in bad shape' - while launching Australia's most expensive political campaign

Clive Palmer has claimed he doesn't need to be vaccinated against coronavirus

The 67-year-old is promising Australia's most expensive political campaign

Unvaccinated billionaire Clive Palmer claims he doesn't need the Covid jab because he's 'not in bad shape' and leads a 'healthy life'.

The mining magnate on Wednesday announced he is making another run at federal politics, promising his United Australia Party would launch the 'largest and most extensive political campaign in the nation's history' ahead of this year's election.

A vaccine-mandate opponent, Mr Palmer says his party has attracted more than 80,000 members, and will be backed by a campaign with significant resources that can win seats in the upper and lower house.

The 67-year-old's press conference was held at Brisbane's Hyatt Regency, where a check-in sign at the door stated proof of vaccination is required for entry to the venue.

When asked about any potential rule breaking, Mr Palmer fired back.

'I don't think I need a vaccination for Covid personally, I haven't caught it, I have a healthy life,' he said, undeterred by the potential impact Queensland's vaccine mandate may have on various events during the campaign.

Trans woman who confessed to sexually assaulting 10-year-old girl in a public bathroom could end up serving little to no time, outraging officials

A transgender woman who reportedly sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl in a California bathroom could end up serving little to no time under Los Angeles County's criminal justice reform policies, infuriating area residents.

What are the details?

A transgender woman charged with throttling and sexually assaulting the child in a public bathroom may serve very little — if any — time in connection with the 2014 attack.

Under Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon's policy of refusing to prosecute juvenile offenders as adults, Hanna Tubbs would see just probation or a short time spent in juvenile hall.

Tubbs — a 26-year-old transgender woman formerly known as James Tubbs — was nearly 18 when she was said to have sexually assaulted an unnamed 10-year-old child in a Palmdale Denny's bathroom in 2014.

Tubbs was accused of grabbing the 10-year-old girl by the throat while the two were in the bathroom. She then reportedly locked the two of them inside a stall, shoved her hand down the child's pants, and penetrated her.

Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney John McKinney reported, "The assault went on until someone walked into the restroom and scared him off. He fled from the restaurant, and he went unidentified for several years until a cold DNA hit identified him as someone who was arrested in the state of Idaho."

According to McKinney, Tubbs has been charged with a variety of other offenses across several states following the 2014 assault, including multiple assaults with deadly weapons, probation violations, and drug possessions.

Tubbs has pleaded guilty to the sexual assault but will not have to register as a sex offender, as the case will not be prosecuted in adult court.

What else?

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit Lt. Richard Ruiz said he and the rest of his department are furious over the progressive DA's handling of the case and others like it.

“I would ask the public to reach out to Mr. Gascon and express their concerns and their outrage on a matter such as this involving a sexual predator,” Ruiz said according to KTTV-TV. “The public should be concerned. This is a heinous crime.”

McKinney added, "What is happening is our district attorney is ushering him right out the door, back onto the streets of this county and God knows where else he might roam. It’s madness. It makes a mockery of our criminal justice system.”

Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said that Gascon's ineptitude in prosecuting those who deserve it forces the child victim to bear "the burden of a lifetime of trauma.

"It's useless to catch criminals like [Tubbs] if we don't follow through and seek justice for victims such as the 10-year-old girl [she] sexually assaulted," Barger reasoned.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said that the defendant "entered an open plea to the court, leaving it up to the judge to decide what the sentence should be. Our office is seeking that he be placed in a custodial setting in a sheriff’s facility for two years."

The station reported that the spokesperson did not answer a question inquiring why the case would not be transferred to adult court.

At Least 19 Federal Agencies Consider Tracking Religious Exemption Requests From Vaccine Mandates

At least 19 federal government agencies have implemented or are considering putting in place a system to track religious exemption requests for mandated vaccines, according to a review of Federal Register notices by The Epoch Times

The agencies include the departments of Justice, Health and Human Services, Transportation, and Treasury.

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative group, was the first to report on the development and warns it may be a test pilot scheme to monitor all federal workers.

The system tracks religious exemption requests from employees of federal agencies along with any contractors, consultants, interns, and volunteers associated with them.

Based on its review of the new tracking system—and the choice of the little-known Pretrial Services Agency to implement the database—The Heritage Foundation called it a “test run” for a nationwide database of all religious exemption requests made by federal workers.

The Pretrial Services Agency gathers information and makes recommendations about newly-arrested defendants in the federal criminal system.

“It is likely the Biden administration is using these agencies to stealth test a policy it intends to roll out across the whole government,” lawyers for the foundation wrote in an analysis of the tracking system.

Notices of the new tracking system were only made public in the Federal Register, the daily journal of the federal government.

News of the system drew criticism from conservative officials.

“The Biden Administration must immediately dismantle the Orwellian Database,” wrote Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt in a public comment he posted on regulations.gov.

“There is no freedom under our Constitution more sacred than the freedom of religious expression and practice,” wrote Schmitt. He called the move “alarming” and said it had “a chilling effect on a citizen’s exercise of religion.”

The attorney general directed his comments specifically to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.
