They should never have been used in the 2020 Election but they were.

 

In an effort to prevent fraudulent activity in the upcoming primaries across the nation, individuals are holding drop box tailgate parties. The patriots are watching over the drop boxes . They are preventing mules from stealing the election this time around.

Pelosi-Linked Lobbyists Are Pushing China’s Social Credit System For American Citizens.

 

As Pelosi stays mum on Taiwan, her network is lobbying for CCP social credit companies.

 

Ant Group – a payment platform used to implement “vaccine passports” and a “social credit” system in China – has retained a number of American lobbying firms, including some with ties to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former President Barack Obama, and failed presidential candidate Senator Mitt Romney.

 

Ant Group is an offshoot of the Chinese company Alibaba, previously flagged by the U.S. State Department as a “tool” of the Chinese Communist Party and crucial to the regime’s build-up of “technology-facilitated surveillance and social control.” Ant Group also owns AliPay, a digital payment platform used by Beijing to institute vaccine passports, which have been used to render citizens unable to leave their houses and forced into quarantine.

Ant Group is a key component of China’s broader “social credit” system, sharing the data it collects on users’ spending habits and online activity with Chinese Communist Party regulators.

 

Social credit systems have raised concern in the West, with many fearing the weaponization of government and business surveillance to restrict individuals’ access to the economy and services based on specific behaviors – or even ideologies.

 

Despite these fears, several American lobbyists are working on behalf of Ant Group, appearing to help broaden the company’s operations and reach inside of the U.S.

 

Throughout 2021 and 2022, Ant Group hired four external lobbying and public affairs firms to help with objectives including “outreach regarding corporate profile and operations of Ant Group and its subsidiary Alipay US.”

 

The OB-C Group has been representing Ant Group since January 1st, 2022 on “matters regarding regulatory issues for ANT Group and its subsidiaries.”

 

Among the firm’s consultants working for Ant Group is Larry O’Brien, who has been described by the Washington Post as a “major Democratic operative.”

 

“Mr. O’Brien has been a long-standing participant in the House Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) maximum level individual donor program, the Speaker’s Cabinet, and in the “Pelosi Team 100” program. Over a period of two decades, Mr. O’Brien has had an extensive degree of involvement and interaction with the House Democratic leadership, with myriad Democratic members across a wide array of House committees and with the leadership of the DCCC,” explains his professional bio.

 

He has also worked “at the most elevated participation level with the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee (DSCC),” charging its “premier individual donor group, the Legacy Circle, since the inception of the program in 2006.”

 

“He was designated a “Lifetime Member” of the Legacy Circle in 2014. In addition, he is the recipient of what the DSCC describes as one of the highest honors it can bestow, an award of lifetime membership in its “Majority Trust” program. In the award letter to Mr. O’Brien, Senator Schumer, then Chair of the DSCC, stated, “I can’t think of a more qualified Democrat to receive this honor,” his bio continues.

 

Another Ant Group lobbyist on behalf of the OB-C Group, Thomas J. Keating, served in the House of Representatives in the Office of Sergeant at Arms for over 13 years, with his most recent role as Director of Police Services.

Several other establishment D.C. figures – including advisors to the campaigns of George H.W. Bush and Mitt Romney – are also working on behalf of Ant Group according to the OB-C Group’s lobbying registration. For three months of work, the firm received a retainer of $60,000.

‘Misled the Public:’ Oversight Launches Investigation Into Nursing Home COVID-19 Deaths

 

Republicans on the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis and the House Oversight Committee have joined forces in an investigation over the thousands of nursing home deaths in New York state during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying New York Democrats ignored previous inquiries.

 

The controversy began in 2020 when thousands of New York nursing home residents died during the pandemic, drawing extra scrutiny to then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s policy of sending elderly patients recovering from COVID-19 into nursing homes.

 

Afterward, Cuomo came under fire over allegations that he intentionally hid nursing home deaths. New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli released an audit earlier this year saying New York’s Health Department “failed to account for more than approximately 4,100 lives in nursing homes due to COVID-19.”

 

“While the Department’s duty is to act solely to promote public health, we determined that, rather than providing accurate and reliable information during a public health emergency, the Department instead conformed its presentation to the Executive’s narrative, often presenting data in a manner that misled the public,” the audit said.

 

Lawmakers sent a letter to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul demanding records of key information, including how many total deaths there were and what directives were issued by the governor’s office “regarding hospital discharges to nursing homes or any and all other types of assisted living facilities…”

 

“We owe it to the thousands of families who lost loved ones in New York nursing homes to hold Governor Cuomo accountable for his reckless policies that likely contributed to their deaths,” Oversight Committee Ranking Member James Comer said. “It’s past time New York officials provide Congress all information and data about former Governor Cuomo’s deadly order. We need answers and accountability now.”

 

The Republicans say they previously sent inquiries to Cuomo’s office to no avail.

 

“Every family deserves answers and accountability for Corrupt Cuomo’s order that resulted in the deaths of thousands of seniors in New York’s nursing homes. For the sake of families who needlessly lost loved ones, I am providing critical oversight of all data on Cuomo’s deadly order,” House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) said. “We must know how much Kathy Hochul knew about Cuomo’s criminal nursing home coverup and have accountability for the senseless loss of lives.”

 

Hochul’s office did not respond to a request for comment in time for publication.

Evidence of Election Irregularities and Potential Fraud Mechanisms in Virginia Presented to Top State Officials

 

A group of concerned citizens and experts provided information to top Virginia officials in June. They are still waiting on the state’s response.

 

TGP reported shortly after the 2020 Election that President Trump was way ahead in Virginia on Election night and then the state was called – for Joe Biden – with President Trump still holding a big lead. This made no sense.

 

We went on to discuss that large ballot drops of over 300,000 votes were recorded for Joe Biden and then after that point in time, Biden maintained the lead in bizarre ratios of Biden to Trump in all ballot drops recorded once Biden took the lead.

 

This wasn’t all that is concerning with Virginia. In a recent meeting with Virginia’s Attorney General, Robert Pressler (Scott Pressler’s father) and individuals connected to Joe Flynn’s organization (TAP), and others gave a presentation sharing their concerns with recent election results and actions that may relate to fraud.

 

They discussed the above issues from the 2020 Election with unbelievable and impossible ballot drops. They also discussed problems with the recent purchase and implementation of poll pads throughout the state. (Note that Voter System Testing Lab SLI performed a review of these poll pads and they were not certified.)

 

This group also shared information on canvassing results and more in an effort to save free and fair elections in that state. These issues are prevalent across the country and yet the Democrats push these fraudulent activities and the GOP ignores them.

 

After not hearing back from the state, Robert Pressler responded with the following letter.

 

An Open Letter:

 

Governor Glenn Youngkin

Attorney General Jason Miyares

Commissioner Susan Beals, Department of Elections

 

Why has the Youngkin Administration ignored evidence of election irregularities and potential fraud mechanisms?

 

Over seven weeks ago in Richmond (6 June), I participated in a 90-minute briefing of election irregularities to Senior Assistant Attorney General and Chief Joshua Lief and Commissioner of the Department of Elections Susan Beals. Our team was composed of the Chief Legal Officer for The America Project, the Director of Virginians for America First (VFAF), and four citizen-investigators immersed in research and discovery of Virginia election irregularities since November 2020. We provided copies of a 125-page document containing all briefing, background, evidentiary, and reference materials. We presented an undeniable pattern of irregularities demanding investigation.

 

Despite our outreach for follow-up twice, we have had no response. This is particularly concerning since the required 22-month preservation of 2020 election records expires on 3 September, allowing the full destruction of all records and papers as of midnight. We are left to believe — with their silence — that Governor Youngkin and his team are trying to “run out the clock” to evade questioning on the integrity of Virginia’s 2020 and 2021 elections.

Twitter Suspends CCP Propagandist Who Advocates Shooting Down Pelosi’s Plane

 

Twitter temporarily suspended the account of a CCP propagandist after he suggested military retaliation should U.S. fighter jets escort House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on any visit to Taiwan.

 

Hu Xijin, the former chief editor of the CCP’s state-run tabloid Global Times, wrote on China’s Twitter-like Weibo on July 30: “For warning the U.S. military not to escort Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, my Twitter account was locked out. I cannot use it unless I delete that post.” The post came up with a screenshot of Twitter’s infringement notice.

 

Hu was referencing an earlier post suggesting that China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), should use force against Pelosi if she visited Taiwan with U.S. military protection, calling it an “invasion” of the self-governing island that the CCP claims as its own. He wrote via Twitter on Friday: “The PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi’s plane and the US fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making the tactical movement of obstruction.”

 

“If ineffective, then shoot them down,” the nationalist firebrand added.

 

Twitter’s system prompt did not specify which rule the post breached.

 

Hu later deleted the Twitter post to recover his then-frozen account.

 

The former editor-in-chief of the CCP’s overseas media mouthpiece has been well-known for his mocking and provocative pro-Beijing comments on social media, both before and after retiring from the state newspaper last year.

 

Hu’s latest comments came after a phone call between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden on Thursday, in which Xi warned that Washington should abide by the “One-China principle” and “those who play with fire will perish by it.”

 

Beijing had also warned it would take “forceful measures” after the Financial Times firstly reported the speaker’s visit to the Chinese-claimed island next month. Since pre-revolutionary China, Taiwan has sought to be recognized on the world stage as a sovereign nation, given its own democratically elected government, Constitution, and military.

Tension

 

Pelosi began her visit to Asia on Sunday, stopping at Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, and Japan, despite questions remaining over whether her delegation will stop in Taiwan. If the top congressional Democrat follows through on a reported plan, she would be the highest-ranking U.S. politician since 1997 to travel to the democratic island of Taiwan.

 

Intensified speculations in recent days have fuelled tensions beyond the Taiwan Strait.

 

On July 29, a White House national security spokesperson said the United States had observed no evidence of looming Chinese military action against Taiwan, when asked about a possible visit to the island by Pelosi. China’s Maritime Safety Administration, however, announced a day earlier that the PLA would conduct live-fire exercises in the Taiwan Strait.

 

“It is okay too to shoot down Pelosi’s plane” if obstructive tactics by the Chinese military fail, Hu reiterated his position when posting on the Chinese media platform Weibo.

 

Hu previously suggested that the Chinese authorities should send special fighter jets to “accompany” Pelosi when she visits Taiwan to show the sovereignty of mainland China over Taiwan.

Coffee and Protein Drinks Among 53 Products Recalled Due to Microbial Contamination: FDA

 

Lyons Magnus, a California-based food and beverage manufacturing company, voluntarily recalled dozens of nutritional and beverage products over potential microbial contamination—including from the organism cronobacter sakazakii.

 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in a July 28 recall notice that affected products are being sold at stores nationwide under 12 different brands, noting that some of the items were limited in scope.

 

The notice includes a complete list of specific items, lot numbers, and expiration dates. It also includes a picture of all recalled products.

 

Recalled products are packaged under the labels: Lyons Ready Care, Lyons Barista Style, Pirq, Glucerna, Aloha, Intelligentsia, Kate Farms, Oatly, Premier Protein, MRE, Stumptown, and Imperial.

 

Glucerna products are being sold exclusively at Costco, BJ’s Wholesale Club, and Sam’s Club, the FDA specifically pointed out.

 

The agency also noted that the list of recalled products does not include items intended for infants.

 

The Lyons Magnus-written notice on the FDA’s website said, “preliminary root cause analysis shows that the products did not meet commercial sterility specifications.”

 

FDA officials say infection related to cronobacter sakazakii is rare and common symptoms of the illness include fever, vomiting, and urinary tract infection.

 

“However, vulnerable and immunocompromised populations may be more susceptible to infection,” the agency noted.

 

At the time of the notice, no illnesses or complaints related to these products have been reported, according to officials, who stressed that the listed items should not be consumed.

 

Anyone who has any of the recalled products should dispose of them immediately or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

 

Consumers who may have questions about the recall should contact the Lyons Recall Support Center at 1-800-627-0557, or visit its website.

Los Angeles Ends Citizenship Requirement for Government Jobs

 

People in the United States illegally can now work for Los Angeles County with no requirement to provide proof of citizenship.

 

Last week, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to allow non-citizens to work in government positions provided the position does not conflict with state or federal law.

 

People will still be required to provide proof of citizenship to work for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

 

Authored by Chair Hilda l. Solis and co-authored by Sheila Kuehl, the policy allegedly aims to better represent the “community” in city government.

 

“Los Angeles County is a community of immigrants from each corner of the world,” said Solis in a statement. “And while our County-government workforce reflects the community it represents, there is room for improvement. This motion seeks to make clear that the County, as one of the largest employers in the region, strives to be an inclusive and diverse workforce, and is committed to not excluding nor allowing citizenship to be a barrier to employment.”

 

Solis noted an estimated 880,000 non-citizens live in Los Angeles and the county’s Public Defender’s Office had received “applications from non-citizens who are otherwise allowed to practice law in California but are disqualified from the application process because of the citizenship requirement,” according to Fox Business.

 

Los Angeles County Public Defender Ricardo García said requiring citizenship to work for the city government is tantamount to discrimination based on “cultural, racial, ethnic, or religious characteristics.”

 

“Barriers to employment based on cultural, racial, ethnic, or religious characteristics are contrary to our core values. Citizenship overlaps these demographic characteristics,” García said. “This motion, by Supervisors Solis and Kuehl, will promote equity in hiring and give the Public Defender’s Office access to the most qualified applicants for employment, irrespective of their citizenship status.”

 

“An immigrant’s experience will advance our vision, mission, and values to protect our clients’ legal and human rights and enable us to more readily realize my goal that our employees fully represent the demographics of the population that we serve,” García continued.

China Issues Another Direct Threat As Pelosi Begins Asia Tour

 

China issued another direct threat Monday as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to make a trip to Taiwan.

 

The People’s Liberation Army said they “won’t sit idly by” if Pelosi sets foot in Taiwan, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said, according to Bloomberg.

 

“Her stature as the No. 3 US official means a trip would be highly sensitive,” Zhao said at a Beijing press briefing. “As to what measures, let’s wait and see whether she insists on this visit.”

 

Several reports have said Pelosi may visit Taiwan as early as Tuesday and may meet President Tsai Ing-wen on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg. The White House announced Former Pentagon press secretary John Kirby will join press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during Monday’s briefing, as the speaker is expected to visit Taiwan amid the ongoing threats by the Chinese government, RealClear Politics reporter Philip Wegmann said.

 

Pelosi would be the most senior official to visit since 1997, when former House Speaker Newt Gingrich traveled to Taiwan.

 

The People’s Liberation Army also posted a video Monday on WeChat, a Chinese instant messaging and social media app, of military soldiers, tanks and missiles being launched into the sky.

 

The Chinese Army urged citizens in a Friday social media post to “prepare for war” if the Speaker arrives in Taiwan, vowing a “forceful” response. Chinese Defense Ministry Spokesperson Senior Colonel Tan Kefei previously said her visit would violate the One China principle and “severely endanger China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

 

“We must bear in mind the fundamental responsibility of preparing for war and charge on the journey of a strong army,” the 80th Group Army posted.

 

China’s threats of imposing a no-fly zone over Taiwan and preparing for war has mobilized the Pentagon to escalate security measures and troop movements in the Pacific ahead of the Speaker’s trip, fearing increased tensions between the U.S. and China.

 

Jean-Pierre refused to comment on the potential threats or any “hypothetical” ahead of Pelosi’s trip at a Friday press briefing. The press secretary reacted to a Friday tweet by Hu Xijin, a former editor-in-chief of the Chinese state-owned Global Times, claiming the People’s Liberation Army has the right to “forcibly dispel” Pelosi’s transportation and U.S. fighter jets by firing warning shots and “making tactical movement of obstruction.”

The Israeli MOH Is Hiding a Study It Conducted, Showing a 2-4 Times Higher Rate of Adverse Events Reports Following Pfizer COVID Vaccine in Kids Aged 5-11 vs Ages 12-17

 

The study, commissioned by the MOH, also indicates new adverse events not reported in Pfizer’s leaflet, and that some adverse events last more than a year. Despite being aware of these findings, the MOH is hiding them from the public and has recently authorized the booster dose for ages 5-11 and is preparing to approve the vaccine for infants

 

While Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is hosted in Israel and is promoting his company’s COVID vaccine for infants ahead of the Israeli Ministry of Health’s expected approval for infants in the coming days, it turns out that the ministry is hiding very serious findings on the vaccine’s adverse events in children, especially concerning children aged 5-11. Although the findings of the study, which was commissioned by the ministry itself, were presented to the Epidemiology Division three weeks ago, and despite their seriousness, the MOH authorized last week a third dose (“booster”) for ages 5-11 and announced that it plans to approve the vaccine for infants as early as this week.

 

In an urgent letter sent on Monday (June 27, 2022) by the Professional Ethics Front to the State Comptroller of Israel, Dr. Matanyahu Engelman, it was revealed that the findings of a study conducted by Prof. Matti Berkowitz, director of the Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology Unit at Assaf Harofeh Hospital (Shamir) were presented to the Department of Epidemiology in early June. The study, which was commissioned by the Ministry of Health, examined the adverse events of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine for about six months (From December 9, 2021, until the end of May 2022). The study was based on an analysis of reports recorded in the Nahlieli system (a system that constitutes the Israeli national vaccine database, including the management of the accompanying information, which includes reports of adverse events and safety demonstrations). The letter to the State Comptroller stated that “The findings have been brought to our attention, and they are serious and indicate a risk to children, and in particular to young children aged 5-11”.

 

Today (June 29, 2022), the association sent another letter to the State Comptroller, detailing the serious findings, accompanied by slides presented to the Epidemiology Division by the research team led by Prof. Berkowitz.

 

The findings show, among other things, that adverse events are 2-4 times more common among young children aged 5-11; that there are new adverse events that have not been reported in Pfizer’s COVID vaccine leaflet; that contrary to what has been claimed, various adverse events, including neurological effects and menstrual disorders, are not short-term events that pass within a few days, but in many cases, they last for months or even more than a year. Moreover, the study found that a significant proportion of the symptoms did not disappear by the end of the study, so it is not possible to know how long they lasted; and a considerable part of the cases even if the adverse event ceased, it recurred after the next dose.

 

During the study period, 8,054 reports of vaccine-related adverse events were received in all age groups (5-11; 12-17; 18 and over), of which 6,259 were defined as “valid” (without duplication or empty reports ). In addition, 2,075 adverse events were reported as free text. Of the reports submitted as free text – five categories together constitute about 70% of all reported adverse events. These categories were analyzed by the research team, and include (in order of frequency): 1. Neurological effects; 2. General effects (not included in any of the categories specifically); 3. Menstrual disorders; 4. Symptoms in the musculoskeletal system; 5. Symptoms in the gastrointestinal tract/kidneys and urinary tract. Cardiovascular symptoms were noted in the sixth category, with slightly fewer reports compared to the fifth category. However, this category was not analyzed by the team, although it was precisely these adverse events, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, that were found to be related to the vaccine and common among teenagers and young adults. Also, according to the team members who presented the study, there are other symptoms such as autoimmune symptoms, which are important to analyze in order to better identify the safety profile of the vaccine, but at this stage have not been analyzed.

Report: Michael Cohen Did This To Trump's Campaign

 

Lawyer Michael Cohen was spying on former President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, according to a book from former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.

 

Cohen was the director of the campaign's server, which gave him access to all emails, according to Manafort's book Political Prisoner: Persecuted, Prosecuted but Not Silenced.

 

"He had access to everybody’s communications. He had knowledge and he would be sitting in his office, gaining knowledge by virtue of spying on the campaign," Manafort wrote.

 

Cohen denied Manafort's claims.

 

"Not surprisingly, Manafort is distorting the truth. I requested administrative access to only Corey Lewandowski’s campaign email address after he was terminated," Cohen said. "The purpose was to prove to Trump that it was Corey who was leaking negative information on Jared and Ivanka to the press. The information was located and turned over to Donald."

 

Manafort also asserted that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) received a face-to-face apology from Trump over his remarks about the senator and his wife during his 2016 campaign. Even Manafort found it "unusual" for the usually unapologetic former President.

 

Trump apologized to Cruz and his family in person, an unusual act for the former President who has a reputation for refusing to apologize, Manafort said. Trump had insinuated that Cruz's wife Heidi Cruz was ugly, attached Cruz's father to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, and questioned

 

whether Cruz could be the next President if he was born in Canada.

 

“On his own initiative, Trump did apologize for saying some of the things he said about Cruz, which was unusual for Trump," Manafort said in the book, according to the Guardian.

 

The exchanges on the campaign trail became controversial during the primary contest, with Cruz calling Trump a "sniveling coward." However, Trump apologized during an exchange at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July 2016 in which Cruz said he would work with Trump if he won but could not endorse him, according to the book.

Amazon Cuts 100,000 Employees From Workforce In A Single Quarter

 

Amazon, one of the largest tech employers in the world, has revealed that it is now hiring at the slowest pace since 2019 and has cut over 100,000 employees globally in the June quarter, likely due to the dramatic economic slowdown since 2021. It is the largest workforce cut in a single quarter in the history of the company. The layoffs are part of an increasing trend of protecting the bottom line within the tech industry. The cuts likely played a large role in Amazon's recent revenues beat and their rosy profit projections for the third quarter, though it still lost a net $2 billion in the second quarter.

 

The more employees lose their jobs, the more healthy the company appears to be when shareholders examine quarterly earnings; it is inevitable that layoffs will continue. There have been over 30,000 job cuts by tech companies in the US in the past few months alone, and unemployment claims have climbed to 8-month highs.

 

The covid pandemic lockdowns and subsequent stimulus checks created an enormous artificial boost for tech companies like Amazon in 2020 and 2021, but the $6 trillion stimulus has since circulated out of the pockets of most Americans and globally the lockdowns did incredible harm to existing economic stability. Demand for peripheral goods is in steep decline as inflation in necessities continues to rise. In 2022, the stagflation crisis is leading to imminent demand destruction.

Data published by the UK Government reveals the vaccinated population in England has a higher mortality rate per 100,000 than the unvaccinated population.

 

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes weekly figures on deaths registered in England and Wales. The most recent data shows deaths up to 15th July 2022.

 

The following chart, created by the ONS, shows the number of deaths per week compared to the five-year average –

 

If you haven’t then we have covered it in detail in an article you can read here. But this “baffling” uptick in healthy young people dying unexpectedly from “a mysterious syndrome”, and the fact excess deaths are on the rise again in England and Wales is simply because of Covid-19 vaccination.

 

This is because further ONS data shows that Covid-19 vaccination significantly increases the risk of death and kills thousands after five months.

 

On the 6th July, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published its latest dataset on deaths by vaccination status in England, and it has revealed a whole host of shocking findings.

 

For example, we now know that according to the ONS, 94% of all Covid-19 deaths in England were among the vaccinated population in April and May 2022. With 90% of those deaths among the triple/quadruple vaccinated.

 

We also now know that Covid-19 vaccination increases children’s risk of death between 4,423% and 13,633%.

 

Table 2 of the ONS dataset contains figures on the monthly age-standardised mortality rates by vaccination status for deaths between 1st Jan 21 and 31st May 22. The first Covid-19 injection was administered in England on 8th December 2020, and here are the figures on mortality rates by vaccination status in the following 4 months –

North Korea Preparing 1st Nuclear Test In 5 Years, Blinken Informs UN

 

As if the region needed to grow hotter at this moment of all eyes being on Nancy Pelosi's Asia trip and potential landing in Taiwan, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Monday that North Korea is preparing to conduct its seventh nuclear test.

 

The words came as Blinken addressed 10th NPT Review Conference (or Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons) at UN headquarters in New York. He stressed ongoing nuclear threats posted by North Korea and Iran during the speech, saying "And so we come together at a critical moment. The DPRK continues to expand its unlawful nuclear program and continues its ongoing provocations against the region."

 

That's when he specified, "As we gather today Pyongyang is preparing to conduct its seventh nuclear test. Iran remains on a path of nuclear escalation." He said while also citing officials in Seoul that it's the US assessment that the North has completed "all preparations" for a nuclear test, but that the timing is as yet uncertain.

 

He cited the US position as that which "seeks to avoid costly arms races" - though perhaps ironically the assertion comes even as Washington ramps up arms shipment to Ukraine to repel Russia, in proxy war fashion.

 

It has been years since North Korea has conducted a nuclear test, with the last known test having happened in September 2017, which was met with international condemnation. Pyongyang formally abandoned its participation in the NPT starting in January 2003.

 

Last month the US, Japan, and South Korea agreed to coordinate closely on deterring threats from North Korea. Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi said three weeks ago while Blinken was visiting, "North Korea's nuclear and missile development poses a threat to the peace and stability of Japan and the international community, and is totally unacceptable."

 

As for Iran, the nuclear deal which has been focus of the long drawn-out Vienna process has been hanging by a thread, with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borell having this weekend offered a last-ditch proposal to revive the JCPOA.

 

At the same time, Israel has ramped up its rhetoric, saying it reserves the right to attack the Islamic Republic if it's on the cusp of achieving nuclear weapons - a threat that's been repeated consistently from various Israeli officials in recent months.

According to NSW government data, in the last seven weeks, you are 37 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID if you are vaccinated than if you are not."

 

According to New South Wales (“NSW”) Health’s latest surveillance report, Covid injections are “very effective in preventing the severe impacts of infections with the virus” and those who have chosen not to have a “vaccine” are significantly overrepresented in hospitals.

 

As their own data proves, the statement about the unvaccinated being overrepresented in hospital is a complete lie. It follows, as there is no more severe impact than hospitalisation and death, their statement that the experimental injections are “very effective in preventing severe impacts” is also a lie.

 

But the data doesn’t lie and NSW Health data shows that “in the last seven weeks, you are 37 times more likely to be hospitalised with Covid if you are vaccinated than if you are not,” Joel Smalley wrote yesterday. And the vaccine-free aren’t dying at a higher rate either.

 

Unable to continue making the false claim that the mRNA injection prevents infection, NSW Health has reverted to the mantra that it prevents severe disease and death:

 

Covid-19 vaccines are very effective in preventing the severe impacts of infections with the virus. Over 95 per cent of people aged 16 and over in NSW have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine, while more than 68 per cent of people eligible for their third dose have received it. With such high vaccination coverage in the community, a greater proportion of people admitted to hospital or intensive care unit (ICU) with Covid-19 are now vaccinated with two or three doses. However, people who are not vaccinated remain far more likely to suffer severe Covid-19. The minority of the overall population who have not been vaccinated are significantly overrepresented among patients in hospitals and ICUs with Covid-19.

 

NSW Health: NSW respiratory surveillance reports – Covid-19 and influenza, Summary of epidemiological week 27 ending 9 July 2022

 

The above excerpt is from their latest NSW respiratory surveillance reports – Covid-19 and influenza, my emphasis.

 

The bit about the unvaccinated being overrepresented in hospital is, of course, a complete lie, and their own data proves this.

Out-Of-State Democrats Pay Millions To Influence Kansas Election Because Abortion Is On The Ballot

 

Kansans head to the polls Tuesday to vote on the proposed “Value Them Both” constitutional amendment that seeks to overturn the Kansas Supreme Court’s decision in Hodes & Nauser v. Schmidt that declared that the state constitution guarantees a “fundamental right to abortion.” Many Kansans may not realize, however, that the votes they cast on Tuesday may have been heavily influenced by out-of-state abortion apologists who contributed a whopping 71 percent of the $6.54 million spent by the lead group campaigning against the amendment.

 

The proposed Value Them Both amendment passed the Kansas House and Senate in January 2021 by the two-thirds threshold required under the state constitution to place the proposal on the ballot for the citizens of Kansas to decide. The amendment would overturn Hodes’ holding that a state constitutional right to abortion exists by adding to the Kansas Bill of Rights a section defining the propriety of abortion regulation, stating:

 

“Because Kansans value both women and children, the constitution of the state of Kansas does not require government funding of abortion and does not create or secure a right to abortion. To the extent permitted by the constitution of the United States, the people, through their elected state representatives and state senators, may pass laws regarding abortion, including, but not limited to, laws that account for circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or circumstances of necessity to save the life of the mother.”

 

At the time of the Hodes decision, Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey remained the law of the land under the federal Constitution. Pro-life Kansans nonetheless responded to the opinion by pushing for the Value Them Both amendment for two reasons.

 

First, the Kansas Supreme Court’s Hodes opinion created a so-called right to abortion even broader than the then-controlling right established in Roe and tweaked in Casey — a state constitutional right so expansive it would guarantee a right to taxpayer-funded abortions.

 

Second, pro-life Kansans wanted to ensure that if the Supreme Court overturned Roe and Casey, its legislature would regain the right to regulate abortions. While opposition to the amendment by Kansas’s supposedly pro-life Democrat lawmakers initially delayed the state legislature’s approval of the Value Them Both amendment, early last year, the proponents of the amendment garnered the votes necessary to put the proposal on the August primary ballot, which occurs tomorrow.

NATO-backed network of Syria dirty war propagandists identified

 

Defaming journalism on the OPCW’s Syria cover-up scandal, The Guardian and its NATO-funded sources out themselves as the real “network of conspiracy theorists.”

 

On June 10th, The Guardian’s Mark Townsend published an article headlined “Russia-backed network of Syria conspiracy theorists identified.” (“Russia-backed” has since been removed).

 

The article is based on what Townsend calls a “new analysis” that “reveals” a “network more than two dozen conspiracy theorists, frequently backed by a coordinated Russian campaign.” This network, Townsend claims, is “focused on the denial or distortion of facts about the Syrian regime’s use of chemical weapons and on attacking the findings of the world’s foremost chemical weapons watchdog,” the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). According to Townsend, I am named “as the most prolific spreader of disinformation” among the nefarious bunch.

 

In hawking this purported exposé of “disinformation”, Townsend violated every basic standard of journalism. He did not contact me before publishing his allegations; fails to offer a shred of evidence for them; and does not cite a single example of my alleged “prolific” disinformation. Instead, Townsend bases his claims entirely on a think-tank report that also provides no evidence, nor even assert that I have said anything false. In the process, Townsend failed to disclose that the report’s authors — the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) and the Syria Campaign — are groups funded by the US government and other belligerents in the Syria proxy war. To top it off, Townsend fabricates additional allegations that his state-funded sources do not even make.

 

As a result, Townsend and the Guardian have engaged in the exact sort of conduct that they falsely impute to me and others: spreading Syria-related disinformation with coordinated support from state-funded actors. The aim of this propaganda network is transparent: defaming journalism that exposes the OPCW’s ongoing Syria cover-up scandal and the dirty war waged by Western powers on Syria.

 

The OPCW cover-up is arguably the most copiously documented pro-war deception since the US-led drive to invade Iraq. In Western media, as The Guardian’s behavior newly demonstrates, it is also without question the most suppressed.

 

At the center of the story are two veteran OPCW scientists, Dr. Brendan Whelan and Ian Henderson. The pair were among a team that deployed to Syria in April 2018 to investigate an alleged chemical attack in the town of Douma. They have since accused senior OPCW officials of manipulating the Douma probe to reach a conclusion that baselessly implicated the Syrian government in a chlorine gas attack. Their claims are backed up by a trove of leaked documents and emails that show extensive doctoring and censoring of the Douma team’s findings.

ISD claims to “take complaints seriously,” and promises a response “within ten working days.” As of this writing, after 13 working days, I have not heard back.

At The Guardian, OPCW leaks are “problematic”

 

When I emailed a complaint about Townsend’s reporting, The Guardian admitted fault only on failing to contact me before publishing his evidence-free allegations. This was the result, they claimed, of a “breakdown of communication internally.” I was then offered the chance to respond to the article in 200 words.

 

A key point in my reply (which can be read here) was that The Guardian and its state-funded source is unable to identify any falsehoods in anything I’ve written “because my reporting on the OPCW’s Douma cover-up scandal is based on damning OPCW leaks.” These leaks, I added, “reveal that veteran inspectors found no evidence of a chemical attack in Douma, and that expert toxicologists ruled out chlorine gas as the victims’ cause of death. But these findings were doctored and censored by senior OPCW officials.”

 

At The Guardian, this passage set off an apparent alarm. After disparaging my reporting on the OPCW leaks, The Guardian informed me that they would now prevent me from even mentioning them. In a July 8 email, a Guardian editor wrote that the “the part about the OPCW” in my reply “continues to be problematic.” My reference to the OPCW leaks, the editor claimed, “makes an assertion that has been rebutted by an independent inquiry.”

 

I responded by asking the editor to specify exactly which “assertion” of mine has been rebutted. I also proposed that, if they believe that I have said anything “problematic,” they publish their own rebuttal.

 

In multiple follow-up emails, the editor failed to identify any “rebutted” assertion of mine. Despite that, the Guardian proceeded to publish my reply without its reference to the OPCW leaks. But this raised a new problem: in censoring my statement, they misquoted me. When I pointed out that error, they updated my reply to finally allow a (minimal) mention of the OPCW leaks.

 

The Guardian also took me up on my proposal that they publish their own rebuttal:

 

Editor’s note: Both the ISD and the Syria Campaign list a diverse range of funders and describe themselves as “fiercely independent”. In 2020 the OPCW rebutted claims about its investigation into the Douma incident (Inquiry strikes blow to Russian denials of Syria chemical attack).

 

As for the “inquiry” that The Guardian claims “rebutted claims about its investigation into the Douma incident,” the inquiry was not independent, and did not rebut anything.

 

The “inquiry” was appointed by the OPCW’s Director General’s office, the very body that presided over the cover-up. It was also staffed by two “investigators” from the US and UK. These happen to be the two states that bombed Syria based on the Douma allegations that the OPCW fraudulently validated, and that have since tried to bury the scandal at every stage.

 

Accordingly, the OPCW “inquiry” avoided the allegations of censorship in the Douma probe and instead disingenuously minimized the whistleblowers’ role. The whistleblowers themselves have rebutted the inquiry’s claims about them, as have I in subsequent reporting.

 

A network of NATO disinformation

 

As for what the Guardian calls the ISD and Syria Campaign’s “diverse range of funders,” both groups indeed enjoy a diverse range of funders: everyone from NATO governments to NATO government-funded organizations. They also receive support from billionaire-funded foundations that often work in concert with these same NATO governments’ foreign policy objectives.

George Soros Defends Radical Prosecutors in WSJ Op-ed

 

Billionaire left-wing mega-donor George Soros has written an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal justifying his support for electing radical prosecutors across the country amid a rise in violent crime and recall elections by angry urban residents.

 

Since 2018, Soros has been responsible for electing dozens of prosecutors in big-city jurisdictions, often ousting centrist Democrats. Their arrival has been accompanied by spikes in violent crime and social disorder, prompting an urban exodus.

 

In June, voters in the left-wing stronghold of San Francisco ousted radical prosecutor Chesa Boudin in a rare recall vote. Now, voters in Los Angeles are poised to hold a similar recall election to oust Soros-backed prosecutor George Gascón.

 

In his op-ed, Soros attempts to defend his support for what he calls “reform” prosecutors, describing the “false choice” between “justice” (by which he means left-wing “social justice”) land public safety:

 

We need to acknowledge that black people in the U.S. are five times as likely to be sent to jail as white people. That is an injustice that undermines our democracy.

 

In recent years, reform-minded prosecutors and other law-enforcement officials around the country have been coalescing around an agenda that promises to be more effective and just. This agenda includes prioritizing the resources of the criminal-justice system to protect people against violent crime. It urges that we treat drug addiction as a disease, not a crime. And it seeks to end the criminalization of poverty and mental illness.

 

 

Serious scholars researching causes behind the recent increase in crime have pointed to other factors: a disturbing rise in mental illness among young people due to the isolation imposed by Covid lockdowns, a pullback in policing in the wake of public criminal-justice reform protests, and increases in gun trafficking. Many of the same people who call for more-punitive criminal-justice policies also support looser gun laws.

 

Soros also repeats a claim — first popularized by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who backed Gascón — that murder rates are highest in Republican-run states, ignoring the fact that they are highest in Democrat-run cities.
