“CAPITOL POLICE TRIED TO MURDER ME!” January 6th Viral Victim Who Was Pushed Off Second Story Ledge by Police Speaks Out, Announces LAWSUIT!

“Capitol Police tried to murder me,” said Derrick Vargo, a Trump supporter seen in viral videos being thrown from the top of a high wall by a police officer on January 6th. “It was Attempted Murder. I am lucky to be alive and now I am stepping forward to be the voice for those that they killed on January 6th like Ashli Babbitt, Rosanne Boyland and the others who no longer have a voice.”

Those others dead include Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Phillips. Evidence continues to emerge that they were possibly also killed due to the actions of Capitol Police. Scores of other Trump supporters were victims of extreme police brutality that left some near dead (including Victoria White and Philip Anderson) who were documented maimed or injured on video. This also includes the crowds of peaceful protesters that day seen attacked by police with grenades before the first breach even happened.

Derrick Vargo, the man seen thrown from the top of a wall on January 6th by a violent Capitol Policer officer in a light blue helmet, has finally spoken out exclusively to The Gateway Pundit.

Many who saw the video on Tucker Carlson’s documentary “Patriot Purge”, or on alternate podcasts, or on viral social media posts assumed Vargo was dead- a casualty of Capitol Police and one of the four January 6th deaths that day. Many simply did not care about his fate.

Putin's Request For Right To Use Military Abroad Approved In Russian Parliament

Russia's parliament moved to formalize the major decisions announced by President Putin, including on Tuesday the country's Federation Council unanimously ratifying what's been called "the agreements on friendship, cooperation, and mutual assistance with the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics" submitted by Putin, according to state sources.

The successful ratification was reportedly met with senators breaking out in applause, and are said to be identical for both Donetsk and Luhansk. Heads of the breakaway Ukraine republics - Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik, respectively - signed the treaties, which stipulate that "the sides will build their relations as friendly states, being consistently guided by the principles of mutual respect of their sovereignty and territorial integrity and peaceful resolution of any disagreements"

And crucially, Putin has also now formally requested of the upper chamber of the Russian parliament permission to deploy Russia's armed forces abroad. Overnight the Pentagon said it observed what the Kremlin has dubbed "peacekeeping" forces moving in the the Donbas regions.

However, it's as yet unclear the degree to which significant numbers of troops are already on the ground across the Russian border.

"The request has been already weighed by the Senate’s committees, the Speaker of the Russian Federation Council, Valentina Matvienko, has said," according to Russian media. The meeting of Russia's senate was broadcast live, in what's becoming an ongoing 'live event' and bit of muscle flexing aimed at the West.

The Senate quickly issued official authorization for Donbas troop deployment. And in response NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg was quick to condemn what he called "the most dangerous moment in security in a generation."

Given that Putin has now warned Ukraine against escalating or attacking its forces which will soon pour into Donbas in large-scale formation, the question remains how the West will respond beyond possibly meager sanctions…

Dr. Shiva Uses AI to Perform Ballot Image Analysis of Maricopa County’s 2020 Election Results – Identifies Thousands of Issues in State Awarded to Biden by 10,000 Votes

Dr. Shiva released a report a couple of days ago of his review of ballot images in Maricopa County from the 2020 Election. His report shows some very specific issues in more than 15,000 ballot images.

He also notes that Cyber Ninjas withheld these images for months even though it was Dr. Shiva who was given the initiative to perform the review of these images.

Dr. Shiva released a report and video describing recent results in Maricopa County.

Dr Shiva lists the following key points discussed in his video:

Why was analysis of Ballot Images & CVR not performed as first step in the Maricopa Audit? Millions of tax payer dollars and time could have been saved, and such effort could have been directed to real issues e.g. chain of custody, signature verification to advance election systems integrity.

EchoMail  A.I. Ballot Image analysis identified 15,546 and 16,437 ballots that did not concur with Dominion A.I.’s preadjudicated tabulation and post-adjudicated tabulation, respectively. The Audit should have focused on these paper ballots versus reviewing all 2,089,563 ballots.

Why are 6,835 Modified Cards missing. Per policy, for every Early Voting Ballot (EVB) where an Original Card in the Presidential Race was flagged for adjudication, there should be a Modified Card.

When is a vote a vote given the inconsistent use of ‘IsVote’ flag by the Dominion A.I. system? Even experienced election officials cannot explain the inconsistencies?

Why are any ballots – even one – being adjudicated for the Presidential Race when the Original Card was never flagged for adjudication?

The legislature, not a private corporation, must define the actual parameters that the A.I. should adhere to in determining a vote, write-in, undervote, overvote, or ambiguous.

Dr. Shiva provided a broadcast discussing the results of his work in Arizona’s Maricopa County of the 2020 Election.

OBAMA’S CIA SPIED ON PRESIDENT TRUMP – Was Fed President Trump’s Transition Material by Hillary Operatives

This is very serious. The CIA was spying on the President of the United States. Trump’s Transition files were provided to the CIA by Hillary Clinton operatives. This is the real sedition.

Brilliant attorney and investigative journalist Techno Fog released this bombshell yesterday.

Last week, we documented Special Counsel John Durham’s motion discussing the potential conflicts of interest of Michael Sussmann’s attorneys. That filing was important for a number of reasons, mainly because Durham stated that Sussmann’s client, Rodney Joffe (a federal contractor with access to “sensitive” data) “exploited” internet traffic data (domain name system, or DNS) pertaining to “the Executive Office of the President of the United States (“EOP”).”

…After Sussmann’s attorney responded to the Durham filing, stating that Sussmann provided the CIA with Executive Office of the President data from “when Barack Obama was president,” we theorized that this data was from the transition period because that’s when there would be access to Trump’s team:

https://technofog.substack.com/p/answers-trump-transition-data-was?utm_source=url

If Sussmann’s attorney is telling the truth (never a given), then we suspect the Executive Office of the President data included that from the 74 day the Trump transition period (between the November 8, 2016 election and the January 20, 2017 inauguration) – which would still be spying on the incoming Trump Administration.

Techno Fog then mentions that according to Margot Cleveland, a Durham filing in October of 2021 declared that an individual (who can we say) stole sensitive data from President Trump’s transition team then shared it with the CIA.

That would confirm the data Sussmann and Joffe passed to the CIA was from the Trump transition period. While Washington and the press focus on January 6, the more dangerous and anti-democratic acts occurred in the shadows in 2016 and 2017. They didn’t seize the Capitol because they didn’t have to. The FBI and the CIA were willing to do their bidding, operating in secret to spy on and undermine the President.

This news of the CIA spying on candidate and President Trump is no real surprise. As we reported years ago, the Obama team was so excited about their efforts in harassing President Trump that they bragged about it to the Washington Post. They must have thought that they were going to get away with it and have President Trump removed from office for the outrageous lies that he was Putin’s puppet.

The Obama gang had been meeting in the basement of the White House starting in the summary of 2016 and this meeting with all the members of the Obama gang, was kept secret until they thought they were going to succeed in having President Trump removed from office.

EU to sanction every Russian MP who voted for Donbass deal – media

Russia’s parliament voted overwhelmingly to recognize the breakaway republics last week

The EU is planning to bring sanctions against the more than 350 Russian MPs who voted to recognize the two breakaway Donbass republics, German media has reported, one day after President Vladimir Putin announced that Moscow would affirm the states’ independence.

In a report on Tuesday, Hamburg’s Der Spiegel cited anonymous European officials who said that they were preparing measures that would hit every single lawmaker who voted to recognize the territories’ independence. The sanctions would also go after banks located in Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR) and make it so that free trade agreements between Kiev and Brussels will not operate in the DPR and LPR, which the EU still considers Ukrainian territory.

The sources added that the sanctions project could impose restrictions on the trade of Russian government bonds, and that the EU Council of Ministers would make a decision in the near future.

After a meeting with senior officials on Monday, Putin announced that he was recognizing the statehood of the LPR and DPR, which first declared independence from Kiev in 2014, following the ousting of then-president Viktor Yanukovych during mass street protests. The leaders of the breakaway republics subsequently signed agreements of cooperation and friendship with Putin, who ordered Russian forces to “secure the peace” in the region. Reports followed of troops sent by the Kremlin moving into the Donbass, but Moscow has yet to confirm the claims, and has said that it does not yet have plans to establish permanent bases.

On Tuesday, the Russian parliament, and the People’s Councils of the DPR and LPR voted to ratify the new treaties.

Putin’s decision was widely condemned by Western leaders, with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg writing on Monday that it “undermines Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity” and could be an attempt to “stage a pretext to invade Ukraine once again.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also announced on Tuesday that he was considering shuttering diplomatic relations with Moscow as a result of the decision. However, despite fears that Russia’s actions could lead to a full-blown attack on his country, he stated, “we believe there will be no war against Ukraine, and there will be no broad escalation on the part of the Russian Federation.”

EU will soon pay double for gas – Medvedev

The warning comes after Germany suspended Nord Stream 2 pipeline certification

Europeans will soon have to pay €2,000 ($2,200) per thousand cubic meters of natural gas, former Russian president and current deputy chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev tweeted on Tuesday. The warning comes after Germany ordered a halt to Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline certification.

“German Chancellor Olaf Scholz ordered to stop the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Well, welcome to the new world, in which Europeans will soon pay €2,000 per thousand cubic meters of gas!” Medvedev wrote in a half-ironic Twitter post.

Earlier on Tuesday, Chancellor Scholz said that the German government was stopping the months-long certification process of the Russia-backed Nord Stream 2 pipeline project in light of the current standoff between Russia and Ukraine over the Donbass regions.

Late on Monday, Russia officially recognized the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics of the breakaway region, sparking criticism from Western countries and claims that Russia is attempting to unlawfully invade Ukraine.

Chancellor Scholz said he had asked the German economy ministry to make sure the pipeline’s certification could not take place at the moment.

“That sounds technical, but it is the necessary administrative step so there can be no certification of the pipeline and without this certification, Nord Stream 2 cannot begin operating,” the Chancellor stated.

The 12-billion-dollar pipeline, which is majority-owned by Russia’s state energy giant Gazprom is capable of transporting 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually from Russia to Germany. The pipeline could have been the answer to Europe’s current energy crisis and help refill the continent’s gas storage facilities, which had less than 5% of gas left in them last week.

However, while having been completed in August last year, the pipeline has since hit the wall of European bureaucracy, and has not delivered a single cubic meter yet pending certification. The US and Ukraine, as well as several other Eastern European states, have been voicing protests against the pipeline’s launch, arguing that it would allow Moscow to exert political leverage over Europe. Up until now, Germany had repeatedly insisted on following through with the project.

Republican lawmaker introduces bill to bar Chinese Communist Party members and their families from American universities

Last week, Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.) introduced a bill that would prevent high-ranking officials of the Chinese Communist Party and their families from studying at American universities, the Epoch Times reported.

Hartzler said that barring CCP officials and their family members from attending American universities would “undermine” the Chinese government’s attempts at harming the United States.

The congresswoman said, “We have to realize that China has a plan for world domination. It sounds like some Hollywood movie; that’s the reality.”

“We shouldn’t be aiding and abetting those who want to do us harm. It’s just wrong,” she added.

Hartzler’s bill, the “Protecting Higher Education from the Chinese Communist Party Act,” would immediately stop the government from issuing student and research visas to senior CCP officials and their family members. This would prohibit the CCP members’ children and grandchildren from attending American universities.

According to data gathered by the Institute of International Education and the U.S. State Department, during the 2020-2021 academic year, there were significantly more than 300,000 Chinese nationals enrolled in American institutions of higher learning.

WH changes tune, says Russian troops to rebel areas are Ukraine ‘invasion’

A top adviser to the Biden administration admitted Tuesday that Ukraine is under “invasion” by Russia after the White House initially hedged when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into rebel-held areas of eastern Ukraine Monday night.

“An invasion is an invasion and that is what is underway,” deputy White House national security adviser Jon Finer told CNN. Finer added that “Russia has been invading Ukraine since 2014 … I am calling it an invasion.”

The description of Russia’s troop movements matters because President Biden has threatened ruinous economic sanctions against Russia if it “invades” Ukraine — even though, as Finer referenced, Russia has propped up separatist groups in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions since 2014.

“We’ve always envisioned waves of sanctions that would unfold over time,” Finer told CNN. “Today, we have already begun those actions in response and we have more that we will be rolling out in really just a matter of hours.”

A senior US official on a White House-organized call was pressed Monday on whether Russia’s open deployment of “peacekeeping” troops into Donetsk and Luhansk counts as an invasion if they don’t go beyond rebel-held territory.

A Google-Funded ‘Fact Check’ Team is a Handful of Indians With No Experience in Journalism in a Small Town Near Bangladesh.

The "fact check" team appears to have little to no experience in journalism.

Last week Instagram notified me that a viral post I had published was “fact checked” by a group called ‘The Healthy Indian Project’. My mother is from Bombay, and I did lose 40lbs last year, but I didn’t think they had created an entire unit just for me. So, I decided to find out who this group is. My findings are bemusing.

The Healthy Indian Project (‘THIP’) appears to have started as a fitness and lifestyle site in 2018. Its CEO – Sudipta Sengupta – is a life-long marketing consultant from a small city (Gurgaon, Haryana) in India.

The group is a member of the high-profile Poynter network called the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), though a two separate audits of its membership reveal concerns about non-partisanship, transparency, and the organization’s finances with a particular focus on a grant from the U.S.-based search engine Google:

“The applicant has shared proof of its status as a legally registered company. It has provided a balance sheet that indicates that the funding comes from its directors. They have mentioned a grant from Google this does not reflect in the balance sheet, we do not know if it accounts for more than 5% of the revenue. The balance sheet does not reflect any income or expenses.”

Joe Biden’s Private Economic Adviser Revealed His ‘Enormous Respect’ For Chinese Communists as He Collaborated With a Key CCP Propaganda Group.

Lawrence Summers – a director of former President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council turned advisor to President Joe Biden – has collaborated with the Chinese Communist Party’s premier foreign influence group, flagged for its efforts to “influence foreign governments to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing,” The National Pulse can reveal.

Summers – a fixture in the Democratic Party who also served as former President Bill Clinton’s Secretary of the Treasury – is the latest high-profile government official to enter the orbit of the Chinese Communist Party’s premier foreign influence group: the China United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF).

CUSEF is part of Beijing’s United Front Work Department, which the U.S. government has flagged as a subversive effort to “to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party” and “influence foreign governments to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing.”

CUSEF has deployed this tactic on American journalists and former Congressmen, offering free trips to the country in exchange for “favorable coverage,” according to Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) filings. The trips function as part of a broader effort to “effectively disseminate positive messages to the media, key influencers and opinion leaders, and the general public” regarding the Chinese Communist Party.

Summers, also the former Chief Economist of the World Bank and President of Harvard University, recently participated in an interview with The China Current, a show launched by CUSEF in 2019. During the interview, he praised the Chinese Communist P

UK Sanctions 5 Russian Banks and 3 Billionaires After Putin Orders Troops Into Eastern Ukraine

Britain has imposed sanctions on five Russian banks and three wealthy individuals in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s order to move troops into Eastern Ukraine.

Putin announced on Feb. 21 that Russia will regard two areas in Ukraine’s Donbas region as independent, and signed a decree authorising Russian troops to be sent into the area for so-called “peacekeeping operations.”

Addressing the House of Commons on Feb. 22, Prime Minister Boris Johnson described Moscow’s move as a “renewed invasion” of Ukraine, and warned Putin is “establishing the pretext for a full-scale offensive.”

He told MPs: “Now the UK and our allies will begin to impose the sanctions on Russia that we have already prepared using the new and unprecedented powers granted by this House to sanction Russian individuals and entities of strategic importance to the Kremlin.”

Johnson said that immediate sanctions would be deployed against five Russian banks—Rossiya, IS Bank, General Bank, Promsvyazbank, and the Black Sea Bank—as well as three “very high net wealth individuals.”

“Any assets they hold in the UK will be frozen, the individuals concerned will be banned from travelling here, and we will prohibit all UK individuals and entities from having any dealings with them,” he said.

“This the first tranche, the first barrage, of what we are prepared to do and we hold further sanctions at readiness to be deployed.”

The prime minister said the West “must now brace ourselves for the next possible stages of Putin’s plan—the violent subversion of areas of eastern Ukraine by Russian operatives and their hirelings followed by a general offensive by the nearly 200,000 Russian troops gathered on the frontiers at peak readiness to attack.”

He said: “We cannot tell what will happen in the days ahead, but we should steel ourselves for a protracted crisis. The United Kingdom will meet this challenge side by side with our allies, determined that we will not allow Putin to drag our continent back into a Hobbesian state of nature.”

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer welcomed the sanctions, but said “we must be prepared to go further.”

He said he understands the tactic of holding back sanctions to try to deter an invasion of the rest of Ukraine, “but a threshold has already been breached.”

Starmer said a sovereign nation “has been invaded in a war of aggression,” and “if we do not respond with the full set of sanctions now, Putin will once again take away the message that the benefits of aggression outweigh the costs.”

Forced Vax for Kids ‘Through the Back Door’ As Unjabbed Children Barred from Viennese Schools

Unvaccinated children are being forced out of classrooms in Vienna as parents accuse authorities of implementing forced vax for kids “through the back door”.

In Austria’s capital of Vienna, children who are not jabbed against the Chinese Coronavirus are being thrown out of classrooms.

Critics have slammed the measures implemented by the city’s government, with one concerned parent accusing authorities of implementing forced vaccination “through the back door” for the age group.

According to a report by Kronen Zeitung, unvaccinated kids are being forced to quarantine at home for a minimum of five days should their class in school experience a sufficient number of COVID-19 cases, even if they are able to present a negative test for the disease.

Meanwhile, their jabbed classmates are allowed to continue going to school as normal.

Children forced to stay at home due to COVID restrictions had also previously been able to avail of online teaching, however, under the new rules, those forced to stay away from face-to-face classes are to only be provided with a so-called “learning package”.

“This is compulsory vaccination through the back door, because unvaccinated students are excluded from active classes,” one parent of a 10-year-old told the publication.

Meanwhile, the Freedom Party of Austria FPÖ has also waded into the debate, denouncing authorities for dividing up children by their inoculation status.

“This division of children is particularly shabby,” the party’s Vienna head, Dominik Nepp, is reported as saying. “Instead of finally getting back to normal, the students are being divided up by the red-pink city government.

“[It is] completely unacceptable that unvaccinated but perfectly healthy children are excluded from school,” he continued.

Did they not learn from Kazakhstan freezing bank accounts will be the catalyst of revolution?

Canadian MP Mark Strahl related how a single mother in his district has had her bank account totally frozen by the Trudeau regime after she completely legally donated $50 to the trucker Freedom Convoy.

“Briane is a single mom from Chilliwack working a minimum wage job,” Strahl tweeted, adding “She gave $50 to the convoy when it was 100% legal. She hasn’t participated in any other way. Her bank account has now been frozen.”

The MP further urged “This is who Justin Trudeau is actually targeting with his Emergencies Act orders.”

In a follow up post, Strahl noted that the mother was attacked online by anti-freedom trolls after his initial tweet.

“I am not going to help you dox her,” Strahl asserted, adding “I know who she is and I won’t stop fighting for her.”

They will bring in all sorts of foreigners to vote out all our rights before we know it. The concept of US Citizenship will be removed and be replaced by a One World Citizenship concept. The Globalists are attacking us asymetrically on every possible front. This is an all-out 21st Century war.

What Putin really said yesterday and what MSM won’t tell you.

Transcript:

First he explains the historical foundation of Ukraine and Russias relationship.

“I would like to emphasise again that Ukraine is not just a neighbouring country for us. It is an inalienable part of our own history, culture and spiritual space. These are our comrades, those dearest to us – not only colleagues, friends and people who once served together, but also relatives, people bound by blood, by family ties.”

He then goes on

“Essentially, the so-called pro-Western civilisational choice made by the oligarchic Ukrainian authorities was not and is not aimed at creating better conditions in the interests of people’s well-being but at keeping the billions of dollars that the oligarchs have stolen from the Ukrainians and are holding in their accounts in Western banks, while reverently accommodating the geopolitical rivals of Russia.

Some industrial and financial groups and the parties and politicians on their payroll relied on the nationalists and radicals from the very beginning. Others claimed to be in favour of good relations with Russia and cultural and language diversity, coming to power with the help of their citizens who sincerely supported their declared aspirations, including the millions of people in the south-eastern regions. But after getting the positions they coveted, these people immediately betrayed their voters, going back on their election promises and instead steering a policy prompted by the radicals and sometimes even persecuting their former allies – the public organisations that supported bilingualism and cooperation with Russia. These people took advantage of the fact that their voters were mostly law-abiding citizens with moderate views who trusted the authorities, and that, unlike the radicals, they would not act aggressively or make use of illegal instruments.”

40 THOUSAND Affidavits Of Electoral Fraud In Georgia Delivered To Gov. Kemp

Governor Kemp’s staff received 40,000 election fraud affidavits for the 2020 election in Georgia. But how can this be? It was the most secure election ever.

A local group called Georgia Patriots (led by Holly Kelser) showed up to deliver about 40,000 sworn affidavits regarding 2020 election fraud to the office of Governor Brian Kemp.

Former Newsmax reporter Emerald Robinson and the Pillow Guy Mike Lindell accompanied them as the staff showed their displeasure.

To be fair, Kemp tightened up the election laws, after the fact, and took a hit for that. On the other hand, Secretary of State Raffensperger is a villain in the election process which was flawed, with laws at the last minute and Zuckerboxes everywhere. He made a deal with Stacey Abrams of all people which heavily favored Joe Biden and other Democrat candidates.

This group seems to focus on the voting machines but I don’t know what evidence they have or don’t have.

2 Black Hawk helicopters crash in Utah

Two Utah National Guard UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters crashed in northern Utah on Tuesday morning, the Guard announced.

“We can confirm that two Utah National Guard UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters were involved in a training accident at approx. 9:30 a.m. near Mineral Basin,” the Guard said in a statement posted to Twitter.

All crew members survived and none were injured in the incident. Both of the helicopters suffered damage in the crash.

It’s not yet clear what caused the crash. The Guard said an investigation was underway.

The crash took place at the Snowbird Ski Resort in Mineral Basin, located an hour southeast of Salt Lake City. Photos posted on social media show the Black Hawks on the ground with skiers nearby.

Poland to buy $6 billion in US tanks, assault bridges, explosives; Russian advancing force grows to 190,000

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced Friday that the U.S. will sell 250 M1A2 Abrams tanks to Poland to further build up defense capabilities along NATO’s eastern flank with Russia as U.S. officials continue to warn that an attack against Ukraine is imminent.

Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian government forces have exchanged intensified shelling over the last several days in Eastern Ukraine, which U.S. and NATO officials have said could be used as a pretext for a larger Russian attack.

Austin announced the $6 billion contract during a stop in Warsaw to meet with Polish Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak. Beyond the tanks, the contract includes the sale of 250 counter-IED systems, 26 M88 combat recovery vehicles, 17 joint assault bridges, 276 M2 .50-caliber machine guns, and thousands of rounds of explosive tracers.

“This is the most modern version of the Abrams and will provide Poland with a highly advanced tank capability that will also strengthen our interoperability with the Polish armed forces, boosting the credibility of our combined deterrence efforts in those of other NATO allies,” Austin said.

The announcement comes as Mike Carpenter, U.S. ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said that Russia’s troops along the Ukrainian border had rapidly swelled to as many as 190,000 forces.

“This estimate includes military troops along the border, in Belarus, and in occupied Crimea; Russian National Guard and other internal security units deployed to these areas; and Russian-led forces in eastern Ukraine,” the OSCE said Friday in a statement. “This is the most significant military mobilization in Europe since the Second World War.”

Blaszczak said the Abrams sale is part of Poland’s newly expanded homeland defense spending that will finance the modernization of Polish armed forces. In October, Poland announced it would double its number of active duty forces to roughly 200,000 and increase its defense budget from 2.2 percent to 2.5 percent of its GDP.

Russian troops assembled along Ukraine’s border have not advanced on Kyiv.

If Russia further invades Ukraine, “Poland could see tens of thousands of displaced Ukrainians and others flowing across its border trying to save themselves and their families from the scourge of war,” Austin said.

U.S. military airlift could be used to assist refugees who flee to Poland or other locations if requested, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. C.Q. Brown told Defense One on Thursday.

“It’s our responsibility as a service to be prepared to provide airpower at the request of the combatant commands and at the direction of the President,” Brown said in a later statement to Defense One. “We plan for any number of contingencies, and this is no different, but the President has been clear, should Russia invade Ukraine – there are no plans to conduct a mass evacuation.”

Blaszczak said Poland will take in refugees fleeing Ukraine.

“We are ready. We are ready to help all those who will be forced to leave Ukraine,” he said. “We, as a nation that has so strongly and badly experienced World War II, we know what support is all about.”

Avidar resigns as minister; says PM aping Netanyahu, won’t honor rotation with Lapid

Blow for gov’t as Yisrael Beytenu maverick returns to Knesset, where his vote may be vital on any bill; claims coalition focused on ‘selfies, TikTok’ as opposition works to oust it

Yisrael Beytenu’s Eli Avidar resigned from his ministerial position in the cabinet on Tuesday, criticizing Prime Minister Naftali Bennett for a “hysterical” approach to virus regulations, and saying that the premier is imitating his predecessor and does not plan to honor the rotation deal.

Avidar will now return to the Knesset where, since the coalition numbers just 61 of the 120 Knesset members, he could now hold the crucial vote on any legislation, complicating the day-to-day business of the government. He said he would “do everything I can to ensure this government completes its term,” but added that the government’s survival had to stand for something.

“Bennett does not intend to honor the rotation,” Avidar charged, referring to the agreement that will see Foreign Minister Yair Lapid take over as head of the government in September 2023.

“The man grew up on Netanyahu and does not intend to free himself of him. He copies him in his every move,” Avidar said, in an apparent reference to the former premier’s maneuver that prevented Blue and White chief Benny Gantz from becoming prime minister in the previous government.

Avidar, a long-time critic of coronavirus regulations, who initially refused to get vaccinated, had sharp words for the premier over government policy relating to the Omicron wave, saying that it was a death knell for some businesses.

“Bennett’s hysterical press conference in the shadow of the Omicron destroyed overnight businesses that were just beginning to recover,” Avidar said. “I tried to influence the policy and the conversation from the inside. I met with Bennett twice and I reminded him that this is a historic government, a government of change, and not just a continuation of the Netanyahu government.”

Avidar said of Bennett that: “I begged him to stop the incitement and [instead] bring hope.”

The Yisrael Beytenu lawmaker said the coalition was too concerned with “selfies and TikTok videos” while the opposition was trying to topple the government.

“The conservative camp works all year round, but the democratic camp goes to bed the day after the election — both when it is in the coalition and also when it is in the opposition. They take selfies and make cool TikTok videos,” Avidar said. “You don’t win like that.”

Avidar will now return to the Knesset as a lawmaker, remaining in the coalition but potentially complicating the government’s legislative efforts.

Supreme Court rejects Maine healthcare workers' bid for religious exemption to COVID vaccine mandate

The high court declined to review the decision of a lower court in the matter.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court rejected an attempt to U.S. health care workers in Maine to stop the state's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The justices declined to hear arguments pertaining to a lower court's decision to leave the mandate in place.

The northern state's mandate for health care workers was announced by Gov. Janet Mills (D) back in August, and followed soon after by a decision to ban religious exemptions to mandatory vaccinations. A group of health care workers argued that the ban was unconstitutional and in direct violation of federal law.

The group of health care workers at the head of this issue were previously turned down by the Supreme Court in October 2021, but filed a writ of certiorari, requesting that the high court justices review the decisions of the lower court (which left the mandate and its non-exemption clause in place). The group argued that the state's failure to consider religious exemption requests is a violation of the First Amendment.

Mills and her government attorneys have, according to the Epoch Times, maintained that the lower courts were correct in their assessment that the Maine mandate does not "infringe or restrict a particular religious practice."

"Because Maine’s vaccine mandate permits nonreligious medical exemptions for virtually any reason, but prohibits individuals from obtaining an identical exemption based on sincerely held religious beliefs, it is not neutral or generally applicable. Put simply, Maine’s vaccine mandate cannot be viewed as neutral because it explicitly discriminates against religious exemptions while permitting the preferred nonreligious, medical exemptions," wrote the health care workers in their final filing before the decision of the court.

Supreme Court rejects Trump's appeal in records dispute with House Jan. 6 panel, ending case

The former president was attempting to block the transfer of his White House records to the special committee.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an appeal by attorneys for former President Trump in his effort to protect his White record from the Democrat-controlled House Jan. 6 committee.

The high court's unsigned order arrived after the court denied the former president's emergency request to block the transfer of his White House records from the National Archives to the chamber's select committee.

The order puts an end to Trump's battle to prevent lawmakers from obtaining a number of call logs, emails and other White House documents that the committee had requested and claims could illuminate some elements of what was going on behind the scenes at the White House on the day of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The decision by the court leaves intact a lower federal appeals court ruling that denied Trump's assertion of executive privilege in the matter.

Trump's legal team had requested that the justices prevent disputed materials from becoming public as they considered the appeal. That court, however, did not abide by that request, and the House committee began receiving records in mid-January.

Tuesday's decision is a formal denial of the appeal.

The House committee, led by Mississippi Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson, is expected to conclude the investigation by early spring. The committee is also involved in legal proceedings related to its effort to obtain records from former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

How Eric Holder Tipped the Scales in North Carolina’s Redistricting Fight

A North Carolina judge who received $200,000 in contributions from former attorney general Eric Holder's partisan redistricting network could soon cast the decisive vote in a legal battle over the state’s congressional maps.

The Holder-backed judge, Anita Earls, serves on the North Carolina Supreme Court, which will likely have the final say over which congressional maps the state adopts. The seven-member court earlier this month rejected maps drawn by the Republican-controlled legislature and is expected to knock down a revised proposal Republicans submitted on Feb. 16. A rejection of Republican maps would be a win for Holder, who formed several redistricting organizations in 2017 to draw congressional districts favorable to Democrats.

Republicans say Earls’s ties to Holder are a conflict of interest and warrant her recusal from the redistricting case. They point to the former attorney general’s endorsement of Earls in 2018, and his redistricting group’s massive donation to her campaign. Holder’s National Redistricting Foundation, which sued Republicans over their maps in November, took credit for the North Carolina Supreme Court’s ruling earlier this month.

"Monied interests appear to have bought a supreme court justice to decide this redistricting case," state senator Amy Galey (R., N.C.) told the Washington Free Beacon.

"Eric Holder paid six figures to elect Earls so she could decide this case," said Galey, who added that Earls should have recused herself from the redistricting case. Earls rejected calls last month to recuse herself from the litigation.

The North Carolina Supreme Court, which has four Democrats and three Republicans, could potentially weigh in on maps drawn by Holder’s organizations. A three-judge panel has until Feb. 23 to rule on the General Assembly’s proposed map. The panel can accept the map, or adopt one of the maps submitted by outside groups. It is unclear what groups have submitted maps, but the National Redistricting Foundation said this month it "looks forward to participating in the redrawing process."

Holder endorsed Earls in 2018 amid his push to elect state judges for the purpose of adopting Democrat-friendly congressional maps. Holder has claimed the groups seek "fair maps" across the country, but tax filings for Holder’s National Democratic Redistricting Committee say its goal is "to build a comprehensive plan to favorably position Democrats for the redistricting process through 2022."

To aid the cause, the National Democratic Redistricting Committee’s PAC gave maximum donations of $5,200 directly to Earls’s campaign, and appears to have funneled another $200,000 to her through the North Carolina Democratic Party. Holder endorsed Earls on Sept. 12, 2018, eight days before the National Democratic Redistricting Committee gave $250,000 to the North Carolina Democratic Party’s judicial fund. The party sent Earls’s campaign $199,000 a few weeks later, according to campaign filings. The party did not respond to requests for comment about the contributions to Earls.

The National Democratic Redistricting Committee works in concert with the National Redistricting Foundation and National Redistricting Action Fund, a dark money group heavily funded by Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss.

The hefty donations to Earls are not without precedent for Holder’s network. The National Democratic Redistricting Committee spent $165,000 on ads for Wisconsin Supreme Court judge Rebecca Dallet in 2018 and spent $350,000 for Lisa Neubauer's failed Wisconsin Supreme Court bid in 2019. Holder’s committee has targeted Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania most aggressively in its redistricting campaign.

Holder made clear in his endorsement of Earls he was backing her in order to influence redistricting in the Tar Heel State.

Leading Taiwan Politician Had Secret Credit Suisse Account At Time Of Major Defense Corruption Scandal

Swiss, French and Taiwanese authorities investigating a corrupt $2.5 billion deal were not aware Credit Suisse had opened an account for the secretary general of Taiwan’s ruling party at the time kickbacks from the deal were being distributed. The middleman in the deal had Credit Suisse accounts at the same time as Soong, and later had almost $500 million frozen by Swiss authorities.

James Soong Chu-yu, general secretary of Taiwan’s then-ruling party from 1989 to March 1993, opened a Credit Suisse account at the same time alleged bribes from a corrupt navy procurement deal were being paid to Taiwanese intermediaries

A French judge, Swiss authorities and the Taiwanese justice ministry all said they were unaware of the existence of the account.

Soong was accused by a French politician of receiving bribes connected to the corrupt deal and experts said his account should have been flagged by Credit Suisse.

Leaked bank data and Swiss court records suggest at least three Credit Suisse accounts in Suisse Secrets, opened by the key middleman in the deal or his family, were frozen for potentially containing illegal commissions of at least 83 million Swiss francs.

Three decades after Taiwan purchased six La Fayette-class navy frigates from a French state defense company, the fallout is still being felt on opposite sides of the world. In February 2021, Switzerland agreed to return $265 million in “illegal commissions” on the deal that were stashed in Swiss bank accounts, and Taiwan is seeking hundreds of millions more.

The so-called Lafayette scandal is one of the largest naval contracting corruption schemes in modern history. Some $520 million was paid out in kickbacks to senior officials in Taiwan, France, and mainland China, according to court testimonies. There was even a spate of suspicious deaths of people appointed to investigate the scandal.

Now, records from Suisse Secrets, a global investigation coordinated by OCCRP and based on banking data leaked to Süddeutsche Zeitung, reveal an undisclosed account at Credit Suisse belonging to a high-profile Taiwanese politician that sheds new light on the case.

The account belonged to James Soong Chu-yu, who was the secretary general of Taiwan’s ruling Kuomintang (KMT) Party at the time the contract for the frigates was signed. Soong was accused of taking kickbacks from the Lafayette contract by a French politician, but was never charged in relation to the case.

Soong is still active in Taiwanese politics today. He left the KMT in 1999 and formed his own political party, and has run for president — unsuccessfully — in nearly every election since 2000.

Soong’s Credit Suisse account was opened in June 1993, three months after he had stepped down as KMT secretary-general, and closed in 2010, the leaked banking data shows. Its maximum recorded balance was over 13 million Swiss francs ($11.18 million) in 2007 — wealth that cannot be explained by his official salary as a public servant.

Zelensky: ‘There Will Be No War’

This morning, the breakaway republics in Donetsk and Lugansk have ratified a friendship and assistance agreement entitled, ‘Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation with the Russian Federation’, a binding treaty with the Russian Federation, a move which formally opens the door to receiving both military and financial support from Moscow.

Meanwhile, US and other western leaders are crying foul and are promising to impose crippling economic sanctions against both the people of the Donbass and the entire Russian Federation.

This follows yesterday’s televised national address by President Putin where he announced that, “I deem it necessary to make a decision that should have been made a long time ago,” and to immediately recognize both as independent and autonomous states.

However, should a military conflict break out, Ukraine’s President Zelensky has indicated that he is still prepared to impose martial law on his people.

RT International reports…

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has described as unlikely a scenario in which a “full-blown war” would break out between his country and Russia. However, should “military action against Ukraine and an escalation of the conflict begin,” his government would impose martial law, he revealed in a major address to the nation on Tuesday.

“We believe there will be no war against Ukraine, and there will be no broad escalation on the part of the Russian Federation,” Zelensky announced.

Kiev is calling on Moscow to assist in resolving the conflict through dialogue in any format, the president said. He went on to emphasize that Ukraine had to defend its sovereignty.

EU Foreign Minister: European Sanctions to Hit Russian Gov't’s Access to Capital, Financial Markets

Earlier, the presidents of the European Council and the European Commission announced that the EU would sanction several Russian banks and restrict the Russian state's access to the EU's financial markets over Moscow’s decision to recognise the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) on 21 February.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has announced a list of sanctions that the EU is planning to slap on Russia over its decision to recognise the two Donbass republics – the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR).

According to him, the bloc will limit the Russian state and government’s access to the European capital and financial markets. The EU top diplomat further promised Russian banks that "financed" Russia's decision on recognising DPR and LPR, and its operations in Donbass, will also face sanctions.

In total, some 27 persons and entities outside of the Russian government will be slapped with sanctions.

Borrell added that the sanctions against Russia can be extended, should the conflict in Donbass escalate further. The top EU diplomat did not clarify whether it will include an escalation by Kiev's forces – the cause of the recent hostilities along the contact line in Donbass and the catalyst of Moscow's decision to recognise the DPR and LPR on 21 February.

Sanctions Against Russian Parliament, But Not President

Apart from targeting banks and financial market access, the EU will also introduce a number of personal sanctions against Russian government officials engaged in passing the decision to recognise the Donbass republics, Borrell indicated. A total of 351 lawmakers from the Russian parliament's lower chamber, the State Duma, will be hit with sanctions.

At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin will not come under EU sanctions, Borrell said.

On 21 February, Putin held an extraordinary meeting with members of the Russian Security Council to discuss the rapidly deteriorating situation in Donbass, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces had been shelling for several days. He also requested the council's opinion on calls from the two republics to recognise their independence.

During the consultations, several top Russian officials and ministers expressed the opinion that Kiev would implement the Minsk agreements and that the Ukrainian authorities had chosen to resolve the conflict in the east by military force – a prospect that Moscow repeatedly warned the international community about for years.

Several hours after the Security Council meeting, President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would recognise the DPR and LPR and sign friendship treaties with them. The treaties include provisions that allow Moscow to deploy a peacekeeping contingency on the territory of the DPR and LPR. The Russian parliament's upper chamber voted to grant Putin the authority to deploy troops abroad on 22 February in a unanimous vote.
