Clinton, Epstein, the Bidens, and more: Why are the press ignoring these stories?

Here is a well-researched article that the American media have essentially ignored.

According to the Daily Mail:

EXCLUSIVE: Revealed: The remarkable lengths taken to whitewash Bill Clinton's cosy links to pervert Jeffrey Epstein when Hillary ran for President

· Epstein's lawyer Darren Indyke tried to get workers to declare they had not seen former president Bill Clinton visiting the disgraced financier's 'Paedo Island'

· Miles and Cathy Alexander received the email during ill-fated Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential run which she lost to Donald Trump

The email came out of the blue one day in 2016. Almost a decade had passed since Miles and Cathy Alexander had left their jobs as residential managers of Little St James, Jeffrey Epstein's private island in the Caribbean.

Since then, Epstein had been jailed — briefly — for paedophile offences and the couple had retired to their native South Africa.

But now Darren Indyke, the disgraced tycoon's attorney, was back in touch. The lawyer wanted the Alexanders to do something that would be of particular benefit to Hillary Clinton and her campaign to become the first female President of the United States, later that year.

Epstein's lawyer Darren Indyke tried to scrub links between Bill Clinton and Epstein during Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign

It entailed them signing a sworn affidavit — which Indyke had already drafted for them — declaring they had never seen Senator Clinton's husband, President Bill Clinton, at their former home: 'Paedo Island', as it had come to be known. Whether or not the once-most powerful man in the world had set foot on a 78-acre speck in the U.S. Virgin Islands almost two decades ago says much about the toxicity of what is alleged to have happened there.

Both men deny Roberts's allegations. Clinton, whose presidency almost ended over his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, denies ever being on Little St James or having knowledge of Epstein's crimes. The president and the prince's baleful involvement with Epstein is down to one woman — Ghislaine Maxwell. The subsequent damage to their reputations largely rests on the word of another — Roberts. But what is undisputed is that both men criss-crossed the world on Epstein's jets, receiving hospitality from the financier's young female staff.

Taliban Terrorist Leaders Touch Down in Oslo to Woo Humanitarian Donors

Representatives of Afghanistan’s unelected Taliban government continued talks in Norway on Monday trying to build support for their rule while gaining access to billions in funds they say are needed to help ward off starvation.

The terrorist negotiators arrived by private jet from Kabul over the weekend ahead of the talks.

Since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in August 2021, the country’s prosperity and quality of life has plummeted with the United Nations reporting some 23 million Afghans are facing hunger (55 percent of their population) and “10 million children across Afghanistan urgently need humanitarian assistance to survive”, France 24 reports.

Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis has been caused by other nations withdrawing their international aid due to concerns it would finance the Taliban’s atrocities, rather than reach the people most in need.

This has been catastrophic for Afghanistan as “80 percent” of their public spending budget – for services like schools or public hospitals – came from foreign aid. It has also been reported that government employees have not had their salaries paid, and the country is on the verge of collapse.

Talks began between the Taliban delegation and European nations on Sunday the 23rd of January and will continue for three days, and are being held at the Soria Moria Hotel, located just outside of Oslo.

The Taliban is expected to meet diplomats from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Norway, Italy and the European Union, and the talks will take place behind closed doors.

U.S. Special Representative Thomas West emphasised on social media how much he is looking forward to the exchange of ideas, saying: “As we seek to address humanitarian crisis together with allies, partners, and relief orgs, we will continue clear-eyed diplomacy with the Taliban regarding our concerns and our abiding interest in a stable, rights-respecting and inclusive Afghanistan.”

FOIA Request Shows Only 17,371 Deaths In England & Wales Can Be Solely Attributed to COVID

The Facts:

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request has revealed that 17,371 people in England and Wales died solely from COVID.

The data represents numbers recorded from the beginning of 2020 up until the end of September 2021.

These people had no other causes listed on their death certificates.

Reflect On:

Why are journalists not discussing what this could mean? The majority of people who have died with COVID have had multiple other causes listed on their death certificates. Why haven't we taken a more focused protection plan to protect the vulnerable?

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request released at the end of 2021 reveals the total number of people who died of COVID without any pre-existing conditions in England and Wales. That number is 17,371 people from the beginning of 2020 up until the end of September 2021.

Breaking it down by each year, in 2020 there were 9,400 people that died of COVID who otherwise had no pre-existing conditions. In 2021 there were 7,971 people that died of COVID who otherwise had no pre-existing conditions. It’s important to mention that these numbers do not include the remainder of the year from October to December of 2021.

Help Support Our FOI Efforts: We are holding the Canadian government accountable by submitting Freedom of Information requests demanding transparency on COVID policy decisions as we know science is not on the side of policy. Help us fund these efforts by donating today. Click here to Donate.

This means that in the last quarter of 2021, the amount of deaths that would need to take place to match 2020 would be around 1,429. Which is not far off from the 1,142 deaths that occurred from July to September in 2021 in the third quarter of the year.

The average age of those who died solely from COVID was 82.5 years of age, while the national average life expectancy is 79 years old for men, and 82.9 years of age for women. This means that life expectancy for men is actually lower than the average age of those who died from COVID without other underlying causes.

It is important to note that there was a drop in life expectancy for men of around 7 weeks throughout the pandemic. This being the first drop since the early 1980. Surprisingly, the life expectancy for women actually increased in the UK by half a week.

As a reference, during the Spanish flu the life expectancy dropped by around five years in the United Kingdom. With some reports out of the United States showing a drop in life expectancy up to 12 years for both men and women in 1918.

This information should not downplay the many deaths of those with pre-existing illnesses, disease and overall health problems that died with COVID. The elderly and vulnerable matter and protection should be focused on them as outlined in The Great Barrington Declaration.

Former Ukrainian MP Denies British Claim That Russia Wants to Install Him in Kyiv

Former MP Yevheniy Murayev has been under Russian sanctions since 2018

On Saturday, the British government claimed without evidence that Moscow is planning to install a pro-Russian leader in Kyiv “as it considers whether to invade and occupy Ukraine.” The US was quick to back the British assertion, but a closer look makes it clear that the accusation is baseless.

The British said that Russia is considering Yevhen Murayev, a former member of Ukraine’s parliament, as a potential candidate to lead Ukraine. But Murayev does not have good relations with Moscow. He has been under Russian sanctions since 2018 and is banned from entering the country.

In comments to The Associated Press, Murayev laughed off the accusation, calling the British claim “looks ridiculous and funny.”

Western media outlets cited quotes from Murayev where he was critical of the Western influence in Ukraine as evidence he is working for Russia. “Everything that does not support the pro-Western path of development of Ukraine is automatically pro-Russian,” Murayev said.

One of Murayev’s views that the West might consider “pro-Russian” is that he is against Ukraine joining NATO. Murayev told AP that he believes “striving for NATO is tantamount to continuing the war.”

The Russian Embassy in the UK released a statement slamming the British for making the claim. The statement described Murayev as a former Ukrainian MP “that happens to be under Russian sanctions for being a threat to national security.”

The British also named four other former Ukrainian officials, accusing them of maintaining ties with Russian intelligence officials. According to The New York Times, the four officials all fled to Russia after the 2014 US-backed coup in Kyiv ousted former President Viktor Yanukovych and installed a more pro-Western government.

$12 billion deal may bring hundreds of Qatar, US Air Force members to Idaho base

The U.S. Air Force may soon bring 170 members of Qatar’s air force to live on the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. They would be coming to learn to fly the newest model of the F-15 fighter jet specially modified for the Persian Gulf state.

The Qatar trainees may be in for a culture shock should they find themselves in the city of Mountain Home. More than 90% of Qataris live in the capital of Doha, which is full of skyscrapers, luxury hotels and attractions, museums and world-class food.

The country is also incredibly flat and dry, with the majority of its land being desert. Qatar is one of just four areas in the world without a single forest. Not to mention the differing temperatures between Qatar and Idaho: Qatar averages 107 degrees in July and rarely gets below 50 degrees even in winter.

Surrounded on three sides by the Arabian Gulf, Qatar has skyrocketed to power in recent decades through its discovery of oil and natural gas. Holding 13% of the world’s oil reserve, it has become the richest country per capita in the world. Qatar’s 2.9 million residents are ruled by an absolute monarchy and live under a constitution based on Shariah law.

Just how the Qataris would fare in the quiet town with a population of 14,000 remains to be seen. But it wouldn’t be the first time the Mountain Home base trained foreign military aviators. Since 2009, Singapore military members have lived and trained there as part of an agreement with the United States.

“With Singapore, their ability to integrate with our local community has been phenomenal,” Lt. Col. Peter Yule, director of the Mountain Home Base Wing Integration Office, told the Idaho Statesman in a phone interview. “I would expect the same thing out of the Qatar program.”

The Qatar project dates to 2017 when the United States inked a $12 billion deal that gave Qatar “36 aircraft, their associated weapons systems, U.S.-based training, maintenance support equipment and logistics support,” according to The Air Force Times.

“The sale as a whole is obviously a big strategic advantage,” Yule said. “(It will) continue to increase capability of partner nations within the Middle East, a region of huge influence for the United States. So the more we can increase capability with our appropriations there, the less reliant we have to be on a large footprint by the United States military.”

Head of Special Operations Command Tests Positive for COVID-19

The commander of Special Operations Command, Gen. Richard Clarke, has tested positive for COVID-19, his command announced Monday.

Clarke, who oversees the special operations forces of all the military branches, tested positive Sunday and is working remotely and isolating himself from others, Col. Curt Kellogg, a spokesman for the command, said the statement.

“He had very mild symptoms and is able to fully perform all his duties remotely,” Kellogg said.

Clarke’s positive result makes him the latest top-ranking military official to get COVID-19 in recent months as senior Pentagon leadership has seen a deluge of cases.

Last week, the military announced that both Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley and the Marine Corps commandant, Gen. David Berger, had tested positive for the disease. Early in January, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced he tested positive for COVID-19 and was experiencing mild symptoms while quarantining at home. Early in December, the top general in charge of the National Guard, Gen. Dan Hokanson, also tested positive for the virus.

In the case of Clarke, who is 61, the SOCOM statement noted that he has not “been in the physical presence of senior DoD civilian leadership or members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff this month.”

The Department of Defense said last week that there are currently no plans to change the restrictions on meetings and access at the Pentagon. Spokeswoman Sue Gough noted last week that senior civilian leaders recently published memos that “strongly encouraged continued maximum telework during the spread of the Omicron and Delta variants in the greater Washington, D.C metropolitan area.”

Marking 30 years of ties, Israel and China convene joint committee on innovation

Fifth meeting of senior governmental forum led by Foreign Minister Lapid; three-year plan signed during virtual talks with Beijing’s vice president

The China-Israel Joint Committee on Innovation Cooperation met virtually on Monday, led by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and China’s Vice President Wang Qishan.

The countries signed a three-year plan to regulate cooperation and government-to-government dialogue through 2024.

They also signed a series of bilateral agreements, including memoranda of understanding (MOUs) between the two science ministries, between the culture ministries, and an MOU on carbon neutrality. China and Israel also signed an MOU on emergency medicine cooperation, and an MOU on intellectual property between Israel’s Justice Ministry and China’s Intellectual Property Ministry.

The Chinese and Israeli environmental protection ministries concluded a three-year cooperation agreement as well. China, the world’s worst polluter, is responsible for almost one-third of global CO2 emissions, more than the US, India and Russia combined.

The Joint Committee was established in 2014 as a comprehensive bilateral dialogue framework for senior government officials. Monday’s meeting was the fifth time the committee has convened, and the first since 2018.

The meeting is part of a series of events marking 30 years of diplomatic relations between Israel and China.

“The Chinese, like Israelis, aren’t afraid of new ideas,” said Lapid at the meeting’s outset. “There’s a built-in curiosity in the character of our two peoples. Give us a new and exciting idea, and we’ll gather around it, enthusiastically discuss it, and immediately examine its origin and how it can be improved.”

A number of Israeli government ministries and offices participated in the meeting, including Science, Technology and Space Minister Orit Farkash-Hacohen and senior officials from the health, environmental protection, culture, agriculture and economy ministries, as well as the Innovation Authority and Patent Office.

Amid NSO scandal, minister says wiretap laws must be ‘adapted to the 21st century’

Public Security Minister Barlev calls current legislation ‘old’; Knesset committee opens discussion on claims that police used Pegasus spyware to track civilians without oversight

Public Security Minister Omer Barlev instructed his ministry on Monday to reevaluate legal oversight of police wiretapping and search methods, amid fallout from explosive reports that police used the NSO Group’s powerful Pegasus software to obtain unfettered access to the phones of Israel civilians, including those not suspected of crimes.

A wide range of parliamentary and civil society voices have called for an examination of the claims and for tighter oversight over police usage of phone-monitoring technology.

The Public Security Ministry oversees the police.

“I instructed the legal entities in the Public Security Ministry and my bureau staff to conduct an examination of the existing arrangements, including the Wiretapping Law and the search law,” Barlev said. “This is to examine the need to make adjustments, in order to be exacting and clarify the limits of what is allowed and prohibited in the use of advanced technological means for enforcement purposes. If necessary, my ministry will formulate a government bill, in coordination with the Justice Ministry.”

Barlev explained his directive by calling the existing laws outdated and not fit to address today’s technological capabilities.

“The existing legal arrangements regarding wiretapping and search operations as part of police enforcement operations are old,” said Barlev. “There is justification for examining whether to update the arrangements in light of the technological developments we have witnessed in recent years and for the adaptation of legislation to the 21st century.”

The police have repeatedly claimed that they have only used surveillance technology within the bounds of proper oversight and court orders, while not denying using NSO’s spyware, which was not known before the reports.

Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend Sondra Theodore on being 'groomed' by Playboy founder: 'I saw the devil in him'

Hugh Hefner’s magazine empire is being explored in docuseries titled 'Secrets of Playboy'

Hugh Hefner’s ex-girlfriend Sondra Theodore is coming forward with shocking allegations about the Playboy founder.

The magazine empire is being explored in a 10-part A&E docuseries premiering on Monday titled "Secrets of Playboy." The special will feature new interviews with the former Playmate, along with numerous members of Hefner’s staff and inner circle. Hefner died in 2017 at age 91.

In response to doc, a spokesperson for Playboy issued a statement to Fox News.

"Today’s Playboy is not Hugh Hefner’s Playboy," the statement began. "We trust and validate these women and their stories and we strongly support those individuals who have come forward to share their experiences. As a brand with sex positivity at its core, we believe safety, security, and accountability are paramount."

"The most important thing we can do right now is actively listen and learn from their experiences," it continued. "We will never be afraid to confront the parts of our legacy as a company that do not reflect our values today."

"As an organization with a more than 80% female workforce, we are committed to our ongoing evolution as a company and to driving positive change for our communities," the statement concluded.

Theodore talked to Fox News about why she's speaking out now, what it was like meeting Hefner at 19, as well as what compelled her to finally leave the Playboy Mansion.

Fox News: Why did you come forward with your story now?

Sondra Theodore: I had been trying to come forward with my story, along with [former Playmate] Miki Garcia, for the past 10 years. And we were blocked at every turn. We had people who were interested, and then all of a sudden they weren’t interested. We were being shut down. We prayed for a woman like [filmmaker] Alex Dean to come along, a strong woman who was brave enough to take on Playboy and show us in the good light. We found that only a woman could really understand our stories.

Companies Linked to Putin’s Pipeline Contributed to Schumer Campaign

Senate majority leader blocked sanctions on the Kremlin-backed project

Affiliates of two European companies that fund Russia's Nord Stream 2 pipeline contributed to the campaign of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), who Republicans say has blocked sanctions on the Kremlin-backed project.

ENGIE North America and BASF Corporation each gave $2,500 to Schumer in September through their corporate political action committees, according to newly disclosed Federal Election Commission records. ENGIE North America's parent company and a BASF subsidiary are part of a consortium of five companies that finance Nord Stream 2, which will transport natural gas from Russia to Germany. While President Joe Biden has called the pipeline a geopolitical threat to Europe that helps Russian president Vladimir Putin, last year he waived sanctions on the project.

Republicans have pushed for legislation to enforce sanctions only to be met with resistance from Senate Democrats and the White House. Schumer for months blocked Republican requests to vote on a sanctions bill. He approved a vote on sanctions legislation proposed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) earlier this month in exchange for Cruz lifting holds on several State Department nominees. The bill received bipartisan support by a 55-44 vote, but Senate Democrats used filibuster rules to block its passage. Democrats say they want to use sanctions against the pipeline as a last resort should Russia invade Ukraine.

The contributions to Schumer came amid an aggressive lobbying effort in Washington over sanctions on the 764-mile pipeline. The five European companies that back Nord Stream 2—Wintershall, ENGIE, Uniper, Shell, and OMV—have paid millions of dollars to lobbying firms to block sanctions.

Nord Stream 2 AG, the Swiss company that is building the pipeline, lobbies Congress through Democratic donor Vincent Roberti. Roberti gave maximum donations of $5,800 to Schumer and other Senate Democrats last year, Axios reported. Thomas McLarty, the founder of McLarty Inbound, a firm that lobbies for the five European companies, in April gave $2,500 to Schumer.

ENGIE North America, a subsidiary of the French firm ENGIE, contributed to Schumer's campaign on Sept. 9. BASF, the parent company of Wintershall, donated to Schumer on Sept. 22. ENGIE also contributed to Schumer's campaign in 2020, while BASF gave to the Senate leader in 2016, according to FEC records. Each member of the European consortium loaned 1 billion euros to Nord Stream 2 AG in 2017. Nord Stream 2 AG is controlled by Russian state oil company Gazprom. Nord Stream 2 AG's chief executive officer, Matthias Warnig, is a Putin ally and former officer of the East German secret police.

The pipeline has caused a rift in Europe. Germany supports the project because it will provide the country with relatively cheap natural gas. But Eastern European countries, such as Ukraine and Poland, oppose the pipeline because it will give more leverage to Russia and because they will lose substantial amounts of revenue from energy transfer fees.

Democrats' position on the pipeline has puzzled Ukraine and other nations that oppose the project. Biden has called the pipeline a "bad deal" for Europe and said Putin will use it to gain political influence. But Biden waived sanctions in May, saying that he wanted to avoid a confrontation with Germany. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky blasted Biden after waiving the sanctions, saying Biden handed "a weapon" to Putin.

Schumer's office did not respond to requests for comment from the Washington Free Beacon. ENGIE North America did not respond to requests for comment.

A spokesman for BASF said that its American subsidiary does not lobby Congress on Nord Stream 2 and that Wintershall has no presence in the United States.

"Any implied connection between our Employee PAC contributions and Nord Stream 2 is incorrect," the spokesman said.

Netanyahu rejects plea deal with clause that would ban him from politics

Reports have circulated for the past two weeks about developments to the plea deal that would see Netanyahu leave politics.

Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday rejected a plea deal that would ban him from politics for the next seven years.

The moral turpitude clause that the prosecution insisted on in his public corruption cases would have prevented Netanyahu from running for public office for seven years (following what was expected to be a sentence of community service).

Although his lawyers had been urging him to take a deal in which he would avoid jail time, Netanyahu, in his first public comments on the issue, rejected media reports that he had agreed to the clause that would ban him from public office.

'In recent days there have been false reports as if I accepted the moral turpitude clause," Netanyahu said in the video. "This is simply not true."

He went on to say that the outpour of public support had moved him and that he would continue leading the Likud and the right-wing camp in Israel.

Although the former prime minister could always change his mind, the public video announcement that he will continue leading the Likud and would not accept the moral turpitude clause seemed to end the possibility of a deal before Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit steps down on February 1.

Legal sources have said that Mandelblit would not agree to a deal without the moral turpitude clause.

The country has been rife with daily reports for nearly two weeks since news of secret informal talks between the sides broke headlines.

However, based on Netanyahu's video statement, it seems he was only on board with an Arye Deri-style deal, in which he would resign temporarily from the Knesset, but would retain all of his power in the Likud (Deri resigned from the Knesset on Sunday but still controls Shas) and would be able to run for the next Knesset.

‘Pandemic’ Narrative Over – False Flag In Ukraine Next?

During the past week, the world has looked on as the now two-year long COVID-19 mainstream media narrative collapsed almost instantaneously.

In timing that cannot be described as anything less than suspect, in the same week that the World Economic Forum held its virtual Davos Agenda event, Ireland and Britain announced the sudden and immediate ending of virtually all Covid measures and the World Health Organisation called for the end of Covid-related travel restrictions, with the organisation also stating that the end of the ‘Pandemic’ may be in sight, in stark contrast to a recent announcement that such a prediction was premature.

With the theme of the World Economic Forum’s 2022 annual summit meeting, due to be held in May and the first in-person meeting of the forum since 2019, being ‘Working Together, Restoring Trust’ the optimistic among us may say that there has been an acceptance amongst the global elite that the growing awareness worldwide of the corporate power-grab over public life that the past two years has entailed, as well as the steady march towards a digital ID system as envisaged in Klaus Schwab’s concept of the fourth industrial revolution via the use of vaccine passports, has become so widespread that it is no longer feasible to continue the current COVID-19 media narrative.

However, the sudden dropping of COVID-19 by the corporate media also presents the opportune moment to immediately switch its focus to something else – a possibly imminent false flag attack in Ukraine, used as a pretext for the Western-backed Kiev government to launch an attack on the breakaway pro-Russian republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in the east of the country, thus triggering an armed conflict between Ukraine and Moscow, one that has the strong possibility for worldwide ramifications.

Since the end of November, the Western media, in lockstep, has promoted the narrative that Russia is planning an ‘imminent’ military invasion of its smaller Western neighbour – with Kiev having come under control of the US and EU backed governments of Petro Poroshenko and Volodymyr Zelensky since the 2014 CIA and MI6-orchestrated Euromaidan colour revolution was launched in response to then-President Viktor Yanukovych’s November 2013 to suspend an EU trade deal in favour of pursuing closer ties with Moscow.

Despite the only ‘evidence’ offered so far over the past two months of such an incursion being the legitimate movement of Russian troops within Russia’s own borders, the Neocon-influenced Western media still determinedly vows that a Russian invasion of Ukraine is only a matter of days away from taking place – in a manner not dissimilar to their previous assertions that Saddam Hussein had the capability to launch weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes in the run-up to the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.

Report: Trump's 'Truth Social' Will Use Silicon Valley AI System to Automatically Censor 'Hate Speech'

Donald Trump's "Truth Social" will be using a Silicon Valley AI system used by Reddit and others to automatically censor "hate speech" before it is posted, according to a report from Fox Business.

From Fox Business, "Trump 'TRUTH Social' developing content moderation practices to ensure 'family-friendly' community":

When TRUTH Social launches later this quarter, the Trump Media & Technology Group social media platform will already have stringent content moderation practices in place to ensure it is a "family-friendly" online community, company CEO Devin Nunes told Fox Business.

[…] Fox Business has learned that TMTG is partnering with Hive—a San Francisco-based Series D start-up that provides automated solutions through cloud-based artificial intelligence for understanding images, videos, and text content. Hive’s technology provides automated content moderation across video, image, text and audio.

"We want to be very family-friendly, we want this to be a very safe place, and we are focused on making sure any illegal content is not on the site," Nunes said in an exclusive interview with Fox Business.

"Hive has a great track record in this, and they have been good to work with," Nunes continued. "They are very helpful for our team and because of their experience, I think they're helping to craft the right spot for us."

He added: "We want to be the most family-friendly site."

Hive co-founder and CEO Kevin Guo told Fox Business that his company's AI model will be used for TRUTH Social to offer content moderation for posts to ensure sexually-explicit content, and posts that include violence, bullying, hate speech, and spam never make it to the platform.

"TMTG really has been proactive," Guo told Fox Business. "For them, moderation has always been core. They have been very thoughtful about this."

What's the point in launching another social media site if you're not going to allow free speech?

This is just more evidence Trump has little interest in defending free speech. On the same day he joined Rumble last year they changed their terms of service to ban "anti-semitic" and "hateful" content.

Gab CEO Andrew Torba said last year that Trump never joined Gab because Jared Kushner "specifically had problems with people [on the site] criticizing Jewish people, and Zionism, and policies related to Israel."

Facebook Trumpets Massive New Supercomputer

Facebook's parent company Meta announced on Monday it was launching one of the world's most powerful supercomputers to boost its capacity to process data, despite persistent disputes over privacy and disinformation.

The US tech giant said the array of machines could process images and video up to 20 times faster than their current systems.

The supercomputer, built from thousands of processors, will be used to "seamlessly analyse text, images, and video together; develop new augmented reality tools; and much more", the firm said in blog post written by two of its Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers.

They envisage developing AI tools that will, among other things, allow people speaking in several different languages to understand each other in real-time.

Meta said the machine, known as AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), was already in the top five fastest supercomputers and would become the fastest AI machine in the world when fully built in the next few months.

Platforms like Facebook and Google have long been criticised for the way they process and utilise the data they take from their users.

The two firms currently face legal cases across the European Union that allege data transfers from the bloc to the United States are illegal.

And the AI algorithms that funnel Facebook users towards appealing posts have been criticised for helping to fuel disinformation and hate speech.

ICE HSI, joint law enforcement operation leads to multiple human trafficking arrests and seizures

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A two-day undercover local, state and federal law enforcement operation resulted in the arrest of nine individuals, the seizure of six weapons and nine vehicles, as well as thousands of dollars in cash and illicit drugs.

This investigation was conducted by special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), working with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Human Trafficking Unit, Memphis Police Department, FBI, and office of the 30th Judicial District Attorney General.

“HSI Nashville proudly works with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners in the fight against human trafficking,” said Special Agent in Charge Jerry C. Templet, Jr. “Removing these predators and bringing justice to victims is necessary and important work. Additionally, like the results of this operation, these investigations often lead to the discovery of other illegal activities and seizure of ill-gotten gains.”

The undercover investigation, aimed at addressing human trafficking in the Memphis area, began on January 21. Undercover officers placed decoy advertisements on websites known to be linked to prostitution and commercial sex. The focus of the operation was to identify individuals seeking to engage in commercial sex acts with minors. As a result, the following nine men were arrested and booked into the Shelby County Jail.

Why Accepting Child Transgenderism Will Pave The Way For Accepting Pedophilia

The last several years can be viewed as a testament to the remarkable strategic power the woke left wields. The speed at which absurd ideas have been thrust into the limelight by vested media and a wide array of well-financed academics and non-profits is both startling and impressive.

Not long ago, it would’ve been unimaginable that a seven-year-old boy’s innocent preference for Polly Pockets over Power Rangers would find its tragic end in puberty blockers, chemical castration, and 15 minutes of fame on Snapchat’s explore page.

Calling this abuse doesn’t encapsulate the full extent of the damage. It is a culturally bolstered, politically incentivized mass grooming campaign with a disturbing history. Even worse, this all may be eclipsed by a much darker future should it continue unabated.

The push for childhood transgenderism is predicated on a perverse and extreme individualistic sentiment, specifically that children’s rights as individuals imply an autonomous ability to make irreversible decisions regarding their health, rather than require protection from parents and a culture that fend off all that endangers the most vulnerable.

The dangerous claim that children can meaningfully consent to puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, or genital mutilation is, besides itself being deeply harmful, also leading our society down a sinister path towards accepting pedophilia. Here’s how.

A Legacy Of Abuse

Unfortunately, this isn’t speculative fear-mongering. Pedophilic child abuse has deep roots in the transgender movement. John Money, a sex researcher who paved the way for acceptance of childhood transgenderism, sexually abused his young patients and defended pedophilia.

Money is infamous for the series of experiments he ran on David Reimer, the first child who was born developmentally normal yet underwent a sex-change operation. After Reimer’s botched circumcision, Money saw an opportunity to test his leftwing gender theories.

He convinced Reimer’s parents to raise their son as a daughter and subject him to a sex change operation. Reimer and his twin went on to be studied and abused by Money, who according to a peer-reviewed biology encyclopedia from Arizona State University forced them to “engage in behavior resembling sexual intercourse” while he watched and took pictures.

Despite this, Money failed to get Reimer to adopt a feminine identity. Reimer, who didn’t know he had been born male until the age of 14, frequently behaved in a masculine manner and resisted Money’s attempts to feminize him.

According to Reason Magazine’s Books Editor Jesse Walker, Money “touted himself as a defender of sexual liberation: for the rights of gays and other sexual minorities, for legalized pornography, for breaking down social taboos.” When his abuse of the twins was exposed, he insulted his critics as “anti-feminist” bigots beholden to traditional gender roles.

Photos shows the goods on shelves above boxes of Quality Street and Miniature Heroes as part of its Valentine's Day range.

Shoppers were shocked by the battery-powered bargains that were priced at £8.

Many have taken to social media to vent their fury of the products being placed in plain sight for kids to see.

A spokesperson for Poundland told Mail Online: 'We’re a bit bemused there are any complaints – we’ve continuously sold a very popular range of these kind of items for well over a decade now.

'What’s more they can also be found in other high street shops and supermarkets. At Poundland they’re always sold on higher shelves and there’s an age-restriction in place at the till.'

Turkey Hit By Unprecedented Power Outages As Iran Halts Gas Flows

A disruption to natural gas imports from Iran has caused an unprecedented level of power cuts in Turkey.

The power cuts have largely impacted major industrial zones, with some companies forced to halt production as a result.

Iran claims that its natural gas flows have been restored but Turkey has said its supplies and gas pressure remain very low.

Turkey is undergoing massive power cuts to industrial customers this week at an unprecedented level never seen before after the country’s natural gas supplies dipped following a disruption of imports from Iran. Major industrial zones and clusters and major production sites, including those of foreign car manufacturers, are being hit by power outages after Iran said at the end of last week it would halt natural gas exports to Turkey for ten days, due to technical issues.

On Friday, Iran announced that gas flows were restored, but Turkey said supplies were very low and at low pressure.

“The system is being disrupted due to the low amount and pressure. The compressor stations on the Turkey side are ready, operational, and there are no technical issues on the Turkish side,” a Turkish official told Reuters on Friday.

Gas supply from Iran to Turkey has yet to fully resume, which puts major industries under power cuts this week, according to Turkey’s main electricity distribution company TEIAS, cited by Bloomberg.

As of Monday, Turkey’s industrial production will stop completely for at least three days, Daily Sabah reported on Sunday.

Gas accounts for more than half of the country’s electricity generation, and Iran’s halting of flows comes at a time of surging gas imports for Turkey, which have become much more expensive due to the crumbling Turkish currency, the lira.

LIST: Obama’s 29 scandals and the media’s campaign to hide them

Was former President Obama the “scandal free,” top 10 greatest president he claimed to be as he exited the White House?

To his aides and most in the media, the answer has been a hearty “yes.”

The View’s Joy Behar said, “President Obama, for eight years, was completely scandal-free.” NBC’s Tom Brokaw said, “He’s been scandal free, frankly, in the White House. We haven’t had that what for a while.”

But now, to counter that legacy campaign, biographer Matt Margolis has penned a book detailing some 29 “scandals” under Obama in, “The Scandalous Presidency of Barack Obama.”

It reviews some of the bigger affairs, such as the Benghazi attacks, and littler ones, like his stonewalling of the media, in an effort to chip away at Obama’s stain-free legacy.

And it also details the ways the media sometimes played along or played dead in a pattern that has been flipped in the coverage of President Trump.

“Obama’s supporters in the media, academia, and the grassroots of the Democratic Party are invested in the idea that his presidency was an unparalleled success, and that he was the archetype of presidential ethics. Nothing could be further from the truth, as the following pages prove, but if they repeat their lies often enough, perhaps others will believe them,” wrote Margolis.

He also hopes that it keeps a focus on Obama’s administration and its effort to help 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
