Trump Sues CNN for Defamation – Seeks $475 Million in Damages

President Trump sued CNN on Monday for defamation. The Republican president seeks $475 million in damages.

CNN led the media mob in its baseless accusations that candidate and President Trump was a stooge for Putin and Russia.

The allegations were later found to be based on efforts by the Hillary Clinton campaign to smear Donald Trump.

The Stasi-FBI ran an attempted coup against Trump knowing the allegations of his ties to Russia were fraudulent.

Bloomberg reported:

Former President Donald Trump sued CNN for defamation, claiming the cable news network has escalated a campaign of libel and slander against him recently because it fears he’ll run for re-election in 2024.

CNN has attempted to taint Trump “with a series of ever-more scandalous, false, and defamatory labels of ‘racist,’ ‘Russian lackey,’ ‘insurrectionist,’ and ultimately ‘Hitler,’” the former president’s lawyers said in the suit filed Monday in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Trump is seeking at least $475 million in damages, according to the filing.

Pentagon Chief Pressed To Endorse Biden's Vow To Defend Taiwan

Two weeks ago President Joe Biden vowed in a "60 Minutes" interview that the United States would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese military invasion. Biden answered "yes" when asked whether American forces would defend the self-ruled island if it came under Chinese attack. "Yes, if, in fact, there was an unprecedented attack," he had said in a sit-down with CBS' Scott Pelley.

It wasn't the first time Biden made this pledge in recent months, which once again sent the White House scrambling to clarify his words as the statements went far beyond the official Washington doctrine of "strategic ambiguity".

On Sunday Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was the latest top official to be pressed on the question of American military intervention as Taiwan is under Chinese threat, particularly since Nancy Pelosi's August visit. Noticeably, Austin refused to directly endorse Biden's prior statement.

The exchange happened on CNN’s "Fareed Zakaria GPS" wherein the Pentagon chief said, "In accordance with the Taiwan Relations Act, we’re committed to helping Taiwan develop the capability to defend itself. And that work has gone on over time and will continue into the future."

That's when Zakaria called out the recent Biden statements, highlighting the president "went beyond" official US policy regarding longtime status quo policies, which also includes the One China policy. As Politico captured of Austin's statements:

Zakaria noted that Biden went beyond what has been stated U.S. policy. He asked Austin: "Is the American military prepared to do that?"

"The American military is always prepared to protect our interests, and live up to our commitments," Austin said.

He added: "I think the president was clear in providing his answers as he responded to a hypothetical question. But, again, we continue to work to make sure that we have the right capabilities in the right places to ensure that we help our allies maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific."

Thus Austin essentially dodged the question, simply leaving it a vague "protect our interests" response, which is actually more in line with the standing policy. "We don't want to see a unilateral change to the status quo," Austin explained of potential Chinese aggression. But he did say the US is committed to helping Taiwan defend itself based on the Taiwan Relations Act.

Watch Zakaria stress that what Biden presented was a different policy altogether, pressing Austin to weigh in on the discrepancy…

Report reveals abuse and sexual misconduct in women's soccer: 'Heartbreaking and deeply troubling'

Sally Yates said abuse is "rooted in a deeper culture in women's soccer, beginning in youth leagues, that normalizes verbally abusive coaching."

U.S. Soccer released a report Monday detailing allegations of what it calls "systemic abuse" and sexual misconduct that lasted for years in women's professional soccer.

The 319-page report opens by horrifically describing how Louisville player Erin Simon was reportedly told by her coach Christy Holly during a private game review session in 2021 that he would touch her "for every pass [she] f* up." The two watched the game film and Simon said he "pushed his hands down her pants and up her shirt" as she tried to push him away.

Holly was later terminated from the Racing Louisville soccer team, but he did not publicly state why.

"Abuse in the NWSL [National Women's Soccer League] is rooted in a deeper culture in women's soccer, beginning in youth leagues, that normalizes verbally abusive coaching and blurs boundaries between coaches and players," former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates said in her report about the investigation, which looked into allegations against several women's professional coaches through more than 200 interviews.

U.S. Soccer president and former professional player Cindy Parlow Cone called the report "heartbreaking and deeply troubling."

As a result of the report, U.S. Soccer established a new Office of Participant Safety and agreed to publish records to identify those who have been disciplined, suspended or banned from the league.

You Gentiles

by Samuel, Maurice, 1895-1972

Samuel writes with confidence as the recipient of several awards for his writing including the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award and the Itzik Manger Prize. With reference to his own deep familiarity with the collective Jewish experience, Samuel makes no qualifications for his belief in the spiritual, racial, and religious incompatibility of Gentiles with his own people. His thesis culminates in the ultimate rejection of any possible reconciliation between these two peoples.

South Africans Describe Widespread Leftist Corruption, Warn of What’s Coming

Jaco Kleynhans is a conservative South African activist with a group named “Solidarity” which seeks to help citizens navigate the bureaucracy of the country and help meet their many needs. The organization believes in Christian self-reliance. The organization is focused on helping a wide variety of South African citizens of all races and creeds.

The group exists because the government of South Africa, led and run by militant left-wing zealots, is mismanaging the country to such an extent that it is causing an ongoing massive social crisis. Criticizing and identifying these problems, however, is considered politically incorrect.

Kleynhans also gave an interview with Shane Trejo at Big League Politics while touring the United States to get support and make allies as they try to serve South Africans with emergency shelter, food to feed the hungry, work training programs, and even education, schools, and colleges as state-run institutions falter and collapse.

SOUTH AFRICAN CONSERVATIVES FORCED TO BUILD PARALLEL INSTITUTIONS BECAUSE STATE IS COLLAPSING

“We exist because the South African state is falling apart, and people are left without basic services,” Kleynhans said. “Things aren’t collapsing because of anything other than politics, and it hurts people of all races, our country is run by left-wing zealots and their policies are divisive and destructive. I hope America can recover from its left-wing insanities but America seems to be on the track to experience what we are going through.”

“In my travels in America I run into people who seem to think that things are about to return to normal. People naively think that when left-wing zealots take power, that at some point they will be forced by economics or politics or reality to submit to reality again and I am here to say that is not your future. In South Africa we have been waiting decades for things to return to normal, and let me tell you that when your country is taken over by left-wing zealots, things will only get worse and worse.”

“We are facing record illegal immigration and many of them are black Muslims. I fear what our Marxian elites are doing is setting up a future conflict between our country’s black Christians and black Muslims. As long as we have left-wing control, we will be divided by class or race or religion and pitted against each other to preserve left-wing political power.”

NATION HAS DAILY MANAGED POWER SHUT-OFFS

Every morning citizens in South Africa get an alert about when their power is about to go out for the day. An app provides a daily timetable for when they should expect blackouts, which are described in governmental-euphemisms as “load-shedding.”

>Sunshine Act

The Bank for International Settlements was established in Basel, Switzerland in 1930. It is an international financial institution owned by central banks and serves as a bank for central banks, in addition to acting as an agent or trustee with international financial transactions. It’s made up of members of central banks and monetary authorities, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. BIS is governed by a Board of Directors. In fact, Jerome H. Powell serves on the Board. BIS operates with sovereign immunity, and according to their website, some of these immunities not only extend to BIS members under specific activities, but also extend to “systemically important institutions,” which is likely the insurers, and payment systems. There are currently 63 member banks and monetary authorities, plus their subsidiary members under the International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI). They also have innovation hubs for CBDCs.

In the agreement between the Swiss Federal Council and BIS, a few of the immunities breakdown as follows:

Article 12-15, 18: Immunity for members of the board of directors, officers, bank staff, representatives of (non-)member banks and ‘experts’, including inviolability of all documentation.

Article 24: Immunity of premises.

Essentially, what this means, is that there is absolutely no transparency, traceability, or accountability for where funds are being moved.

The fact that some of these immunities extend to members and appear to extend to “systemically important institutions” by BIS, comes as no surprise. Separately, as seen in the list above on International Organizations with immunity, we know that the following 13 financial institutions do have immunities under the International Organizations Immunities Act:

African Development Bank

African Development Fund

Asian Development Bank

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development

European Central Bank (also listed on BIS under 63 member banks)

Inter-American Development Bank

International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank)

International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (part of the World Bank Group)

International Development Association (part of the World Bank Group)

International Finance Corporation (part of the World Bank Group)

International Monetary Fund (UN)

Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (part of the World Bank Group)

North American Development Bank

Leading Medical Groups Demand Biden Justice Department and Tech Platforms Crack Down on Reporters Exposing Child Gender Surgeries, Puberty Blockers

Well, it worked for the National School Board Association. Leading medical organizations the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association released a letter Monday addressed to Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding action to investigate and crack down on reporters who have exposed hospitals across the country for performing gender surgery on children as young as 14 and 15 while also giving puberty blocking chemicals to children.

The letter also demands tech platforms Twitter, TikTok and Meta (owner of Facebook and Instagram) crack down on the reporters’ accounts.

Boston Children’s Hospital received two hoax bomb threats since late August after reports about underage gender surgery and chemical puberty blockers went viral.

LibsofTikTok, who has reported extensively on doctors and hospitals promoting (and recruiting children for) gender surgery and chemical puberty blockers, was recently suspended by Twitter for a week for “hateful conduct”–one of several suspensions this year of that account by Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Reporter Christopher Rufo posted a copy of the letter (text posted further below), saying, ” The American Medical Association is asking Big Tech and the Department of Justice to censor, deplatform, investigate, and prosecute journalists who question the orthodoxy of radical gender surgeries for minors, arguing that public criticism is “disinformation.”…This is now the Left’s playbook: last year, the National School Board Association, Department of Justice, and F.B.I. worked together to label parents who opposed critical race theory “domestic terrorists.” They want to stifle dissent, suppress speech, and criminalize opposition.”

“The morality of this situation is blindingly clear: “Threatening hospitals is wrong. Censoring journalists is wrong. Criminalizing political opposition is wrong. Surgically removing a child’s genitalia is wrong.”…If “gender-affirming care” is so good, the activists and doctors who promote it—and profit from it—should defend their practices in the realm public opinion. In a democracy, everyone gets to weigh in on important issues, not just regime-approved apparatchiks.”

LibsofTikTok responded, “They want to prosecute us for posting publicly available information from various hospital websites. These are the people who call Republicans fascists.”

Iran names countries behind riots Anti-government unrest was “a design” of Washington and Tel Aviv, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said

In his first public statement following weeks of violent protests across Iran, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused the US and Israel of inciting the unrest, with the help of “traitorous Iranians abroad.”

“I say explicitly that these riots and this insecurity were a design by the US and the occupying, fake Zionist regime and those who are paid by them” Khamenei told graduating officers at a police academy in Tehran on Monday. The Ayatollah also blamed “traitorous Iranians abroad,” arguing that the US and its allies feel that Iran “is progressing towards full-scale power and they can’t tolerate this.”

Protests erupted in cities and towns across Iran more than two weeks ago, following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody. Amini had been arrested for wearing an “improper” hijab.

Amini’s family insists that she was beaten to death while the Iranian authorities claim that she died of a heart attack. A video released by law enforcement purportedly shows Amini collapsing in the lobby of a police station while standing alone.

While politicians and journalists in the West have expressed support for the protests, Tehran has alleged more direct involvement. After the arrest of nine European citizens last week for allegedly “plotting” riots, Iran’s Intelligence Ministry claimed that the demonstrations were largely fueled by foreign citizens and members of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization, a group of Iranian dissidents currently operating out of Albania.

The ministry also alleged that the riots were organized with the “direct involvement of the American and British governments and their Saudi followers.”

While these claims of government involvement cannot be verified, the CIA-backed National Endowment for Democracy has been financing the opposition in Iran for several years, and is currently promoting one of its grant recipients as a source of authoritative coverage on the protests.

The Iranian government claims that 41 people have died during the demonstrations, among them some law enforcement agents. Amnesty International puts the death toll at 52.

Non-Payment of Federal Income Tax on Cryptocurrency Earnings Leads to Conviction for South Florida Resident

Google Discontinues Google Translate in Mainland China

Google has discontinued its Google Translate services in mainland China, removing one of the company’s few remaining services that it had provided in a country where most Western social media platforms are blocked.

The Google Translate app and website now display a generic search bar and a link redirecting Chinese users to its page in Hong Kong, which is blocked on the mainland.

Users reported not being able to access the service since Saturday, according to Chinese social media posts. The translation feature built into the Google Chrome browser also no longer functions for users in China.

The Google Translate service was discontinued in China due to “low usage,” Google said in a statement. It is not clear how many users were using Google Translate in China.

The U.S. technology firm’s has a fraught relationship with China. In 2010, Google pulled its search engine from the Chinese market after it became unwilling to abide by the country’s censorship rules.

China later moved to block other Google services such as its email service Gmail and Google Maps.

Chinese authorities typically block most Western social media platforms and services, including those of Google, Facebook, and Twitter as the Chinese regime seek to maintain strict censorship rules. Chinese platforms must abide strictly by those rules and censor keywords and topics the authorities deem politically sensitive.

In 2017, Google made its translation service available on the mainland via a Chinese domain as it explored ways to offer services in the Chinese market. Its Google Translate service competed with other popular, homegrown translation alternatives provided by Chinese technology firms including Baidu and Sogou.

Google had explored launching a separate, censored search engine for China, but terminated the project in 2019 amid a global backlash.

Ukrainian Ambassador to Elon Musk: “No Ukrainian will EVER Buy Your F…ing Tesla Crap – F*ck Off”

Earlier today business magnate and investor Elon Musk posted a poll on his Twitter page about the end-game in the Russia-Ukrainian War.

Elon Musk asked:

Ukraine-Russia Peace:

– Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.

– Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).

– Water supply to Crimea assured.

– Ukraine remains neutral.

Over 1.7 million users answered the question with 62.8% voting “no” including Twitter bots.

By just asking the question Elon Musk was slammed by pro-war globalist critics.

The worst reaction came from Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany who made it personal.
