Western Allies Led By UK's Johnson Sabotaged Tentative Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal… In April

There's mounting evidence that the war in Ukraine could have been over by this point, but key Western backers of Kiev sought to sabotage the potential for peaceful settlement through negotiations. That's precisely what regional Ukrainian media reports concluded as early as May, soon after the UK's Boris Johnson showed up in the capital on a "surprise" visit to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky for the first time the month prior

This is what a bombshell story in Ukrainska Pravda said at the time, but which was almost completely ignored in Western mainstream media:

According Ukrainska Pravda sources close to Zelenskyy, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson, who appeared in the capital almost without warning, brought two simple messages. The first is that Putin is a war criminal, he should be pressured, not negotiated with.

And the second is that even if Ukraine is ready to sign some agreements on guarantees with Putin, they [the UK and US] are not. Johnson’s position was that the collective West, which back in February had suggested Zelenskyy should surrender and flee, now felt that Putin was not really as powerful as they had previously imagined, and that here was a chance to "press him."

The Ukrainian media English-language report went on to emphasize that Three days after Johnson left for Britain, Putin went public and said talks with Ukraine "had turned into a dead end".

At the time the Istanbul peace talks, which saw top officials from each warring side gather in the Turkish capital, was hailed in some corners as "the quickest way to end the war in Ukraine" - according to Recep Tayyip Erdogan's words, who was seeking to mediate between Moscow and Kiev.

But as the invasion ordered by Putin pressed on, Britain especially was the earliest out front in making large weapons and munitions deliveries to Ukraine via military transport planes a high priority. UK press reports also took note of the 'convenient' timing of London going all-in hawkish on Ukraine given Prime Minister Johnson's enduring 'Partygate Scandal' at home.

Again, recall the tone of Ukrainian media following the arrival of the British prime minister in Kiev (and it should be noted Johnson was the first leader of a G7 country to visit, coming two weeks after Russian forces withdrew from suburbs around Kiev) on April 9:

Following the arrival of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Kyiv, a possible meeting between Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin has become less likely.

Now, this week there's been yet more bombshell smoking gun confirmation to emerge on the role of powerful Western countries in thwarting the potential for ceasefire between Russian and Ukrainian forces…

California Will Now Punish Doctors For Refusing To Comply With The Establishment COVID Narrative

In January of this year the California state government formed the “Vaccine Work Group” which was tasked to construct a series of draconian bills designed to silence the large percentage of the population that refuses to comply with covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates. Most of these bills have since been attempted and have failed to pass or have been shelved. They included:

A bill that would have required all schoolchildren to get vaccinated against COVID, another that would have made all employees in California show proof of vaccination, and legislation that would have required local law enforcement officials to enforce public health orders.

All of these measures fell apart for obvious reasons, but for the sake of clarity let's consider these facts:

1) School children are at virtually no risk of facing extreme illness or death from covid and the vaccine does nothing to prevent transmission of the virus. So, there's no legitimate scientific reason to vaccinate them.

2) Proof of vaccination is what we call a “vax passport.” They are using this system now in China to apply even more oppression to the citizenry, and that type of thing is just not going to fly here in the US, not even in California. Furthermore, if the vaccines actually work, then the vaccinated have nothing to fear from the unvaccinated. If the vaccines don't work, then there's no reason to force people to take them in the first place.

3) Finally, they can pass any law they want to pressure law enforcement to bully people with covid mandates, but these would still be unlawful orders according to the constitution. Beyond that, what is the Vaccine Work Group going to do if LEOs still refuse? Fire them? You can't fire a Sheriff. You can fire a city cop, but who are you going to replace them with if large numbers do not comply? And there are plenty of other LEO jobs in other states waiting for them if they do get fired. The state government has zero leverage; they are scrambling desperately for control that they will never achieve.

Only one bill put together by the Vaccine Work Group has been passed by the state senate, and it is being sent for approval by Governor Gavin Newsom this week. Doctors and other medical professionals accused of spreading “disinformation” and “misinformation” can now have their state license suspended or revoked by the Medical Board or Osteopathic Medical Board of California for “unprofessional, conduct.”

Report: 20 MLB Teams ‘Promote or Fund’ Groups that Perform Child Sex Change Operations

An analysis by National Review shows an unseemly trend among 20 Major League Baseball teams supporting organizations that perform sex change operations on children.

The magazine reviewed the causes and organizations to which these teams are handing out millions of dollars in donations and found that many support sex-change surgery, hormone treatments, and other dangerous procedures for “transitioning” teens and pre-teens.

National Review found that almost every team in the league “promote or fund groups that encourage or provide sex-change procedures and gender-transition hormone treatment for minors as young as 12. Other organizations promote ‘social transitions’ — i.e., nonmedical changes in ‘gender expression,’ including the adoption of new names, pronouns, and clothing — for children as young as three.”

Much of the support these teams are lending is organized under the rubric of the widespread LGBTQ “Pride Nights” that the league pushes.

Along with the yearly events in the stadiums, the teams also donate money to a number of advocacy groups — usually local groups, but often national groups, as well.

The Detroit Tigers, for instance, support the Ruth Ellis Center and Corktown Health in Detroit, the magazine noted.

At the checkout page for tickets to the Pride Night game, the Tigers website offered ‘a chance to support a local Pride organization of your choice,’ with a drop-down menu that included LGBT-focused clinics such as the Ruth Ellis Center and Corktown Health, both of which perform medical gender transitions on minors. On top of masculinizing and feminizing drugs, at least one — the Ruth Ellis Center — included irreversible ‘gender affirming surgery’ in its suite of ‘transition care for transgender youth’ options. Another charity promoted by the Tigers, the Trans Sistas of Color Project, was actively funding groups such as ‘Trans Minors Rights,’ which ‘advocates for empowering transgender youth to make their own decisions regarding puberty blockers’ — i.e., ‘without requiring the consent of a parent.’ (The group’s tagline: ‘Unblock blockers.’)

The magazine noted that the Tigers are only one example and that the MLB “Pride Resource Guide” promotes a long list of “social justice” groups that also push transgenderism on kids.

Democrat Cindy Axne Accidentally Outs Herself Being Cozy with China-Backed Company

Vulnerable Democrat Rep. Cindy Axne (IA), in an attempt to attack her Republican challenger Zach Nunn, released an ad claiming that he is in China’s pocket for accepting money from a Chinese company she toured and praised in 2019 for “powering Iowa agriculture.”

Axne released an attack ad against Nunn on Tuesday titled “Weaken,” which claimed that Nunn is in the pocket of the Chinese government after accepting thousands ($2,500) in campaign contributions from Syngenta PAC, a PAC connected to Syngenta — a Chinese-owned company.

“Communist China is working hard to weaken the U.S.: challenging our military, stealing trade secrets, and putting politicians like Zach Nunn in their pocket,” the ad narrator claimed. “Zach Nunn took thousands from a Chinese government-owned business.”

But, while Axne is claiming that the Nunn is in China’s pocket for accepting campaign contributions from Syngenta, it sheds light on a different story from 2019 when the Democrat visited and praised the company.

In November 2019, the Hawkeye Democrat visited the company she’s now questioning to “discuss trade, USMCA, biofuels, technology, and rural broadband with their team and area farmers.”

In a Facebook post, Axne even admitted she was “glad to hear” from the company and praised it for “powering Iowa agriculture.”

However, the company was acquired in 2017, two years before Axne’s photo-op tour and roughly four years before the Democrat seemed to care who it was owned by.

Fortune reported that Syngenta was bought for $43 billion in 2017 by ChemChina, a Chinese state-owned enterprise, and as of July 2021, it had remained the biggest foreign acquisition.

As Axne argued that China is “putting politicians … in their pocket,” she accidentally ousted herself and her past.

Nunn’s campaign released a statement in response to the misleading attack ad by Axne, stating that the Democrat “should be ashamed of herself for once again launching a despicable smear meant to mislead Iowans.”

“Axne didn’t think Syngenta was evil when she attempted to gain their support and toured their headquarters in West Des Moines for a photo-op in 2019,” added Josh Treat, Nunn’s campaign manager. “Now that they are supporting Nunn, she is now a desperate politician who is willing to say anything to get reelected.”

Additionally, the National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Mike Berg hammered the Democrat by stating, “Cindy Axne is willing to say and do anything to get reelected. She is too dishonest to represent Iowa.”­

Connecticut Assistant Principal Caught on Undercover Video Admitting to Discriminating Against Catholics Placed on Leave

The Assistant Principal at Cos Cob Elementary School caught on undercover video admitting he discriminates against Catholics has been placed on leave.

Project Veritas on Tuesday released part 1 of its “Secret Curriculum” series exposing a Connecticut principal’s discrimination against Catholic

Greenwich, Connecticut – Jeremy Boland, Assistant Principal of Cos Cob Elementary School admitted he discriminates against hiring Catholics.

Boland said he prefers hiring progressive teachers under the age of 30.

“Believe it or not, the open-minded, more progressive teachers are actually more savvy about delivering a Democratic message without really ever having to mention politics,” Jeremy Boland told an undercover PV journalist.

Jeremy Boland revealed how he ‘gets away’ with not hiring Catholic teachers

“So, it’s subtle. They [teachers I hire] will never say, ‘Oh, this is [a] liberal or a Democratic way of doing this.’ They’ll just make that the norm — and this is how we handle things, it’s subtle…That’s how you get away with it.”

Boland wants to ensure the students vote Democrat in the future.

Boland was placed on administrative leave, according to Connecticut 12 News.

News 12 Connecticut reported:

An assistant principal in Greenwich is on administrative leave after he claimed to avoid hiring conservatives and Roman Catholics in a secretly-recorded video.

The clip was released by Project Veritas, a conservative group specializing in undercover stings.

Jeremy Boland is the assistant principal at Cos Cob School. In the edited 12-minute video, apparently shot at an outdoor restaurant in July, an unidentified woman asks Boland about who he hires – and why.

In a statement, Greenwich Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Toni Jones said:

“Late last evening, we were made aware of a video that had gone viral with a current administrator from Cos Cob School. We intend to do a full investigation and until that time, we will not make any public statements. We ask that you respect the investigation process during this time.

We do not, however, support any opinions that promote discriminatory hiring practices based on race, religion, gender, or age in any way, and we want to remind our entire community that our curriculum policies and procedures are strictly enforced by our Board.”

Some parents found the video highly disturbing.

“People talk about diversity and inclusion all the time,” said Christopher McCormick, whose son is starting kindergarten at Glenville School. “I feel excluded as a result of what he did.”

NSA Deploys ‘Election Security Group’ to Combat Foreign Cyberhackers and ‘Protect’ Midterm Elections

The National Security Agency and Cyber Command have activated their Election Security Group tasked with disrupting foreign cyberattackers aiming to hack or interfere with the upcoming midterm elections, assembling a team to combat threats coming from China, Iran and Russia.

The group uses its foreign signals and intelligence collection capabilities to identify attackers and their intent and then fights against attackers by exposing them publicly, making their financial costs skyrocket, and by deploying other techniques.

“Thousands of people are going to work every day to defend the elections from foreign threats, from generating insights to sharing information to imposing costs by degrading and disrupting foreign adversary activity,” Katrina Cheesman, Election Security Group spokesperson, told The Washington Times in a statement.

Russia remains a major culprit and the Election Security Group traces its roots to a small team formed to fight Russian attackers ahead of the 2018 election. The team expanded its focus to other foreign adversaries for the 2020 election and the cyber threat to elections has emerged as a persistent threat.

The team includes information specialists, planners, and operations specialists that are squarely focused on foreign threats, while leaving related domestic work to the FBI and Department of Homeland Security.

When the Election Security Group spots a cyberattack it will go on offense against the attacker, while its information provided to the domestic agencies can be used to diminish an attacker’s efforts in the U.S.

NSA and Cyber Command pass information about foreign actors to the FBI and Homeland Security who work with state and local governments as well as tech and social media companies.

The FBI’s work with the tech sector on elections has faced mounting criticism in recent days. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told podcaster Joe Rogan last week that Facebook limited the reach of a negative story involving Hunter Biden before the 2020 election of his father after the FBI warned of Russian propaganda.

The FBI subsequently said it provides foreign threat indicators to tech companies and platforms but does not have the authority to ask or tell the companies to take any action, according to reports.

Meta later sought to downplay Mr. Zuckerberg’s comments in a statement on Twitter saying the FBI shared, “general warnings about foreign interference — nothing specific about Hunter Biden.”

Republican Sens. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher A. Wray on Tuesday requesting records about the contacts between the government and Facebook.
