Crooked FBI Lawyer James Baker – One of the Architects of Spygate – Was Involved in Twitter’s Decision to Suppress Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell Story

Elon Musk Friday evening released Twitter’s internal discussions that led to its decision to block any links exposing Hunter’s laptop from hell.

The New York Post released damning and explosive contents from Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020 several days before the general election.

Twitter banned The New York Post at the time for their reporting on crackhead Hunter and his illegal dealings.

Musk released the internal emails from Twitter executives regarding the tech giant’s decision to block links to Hunter Biden’s laptop.

One of the Twitter executives involved in the decision to suppress the Hunter laptop story in October 2020 was none other than former FBI lawyer James Baker.

Baker ‘resigned’ from the FBI in 2018 and began working for Twitter in June 2020.

James Baker, Twitter’s Deputy General Counsel at the time, advised Twitter execs to block access to the Hunter Biden laptop story even though they knew the materials were not hacked.

James Baker also interfered in the 2016 election when he acted as a running dog for Hillary Clinton’s lawyer Michael Sussmann.

Recall, Sussmann was indicted last year for lying to the FBI.

According to the indictment, Sussmann falsely told then-FBI lawyer James Baker he wasn’t doing work “for any client” when he asked for a meeting with the FBI where he presented bogus evidence the Trump Tower was secretly communicating with Kremlin-tied Alfa Bank.

James Baker has repeatedly defended the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.

Hillary Clinton’s phony Russia dossier kick started the Trump-Russia investigation, however James Baker insisted a tip about George Papadopoulos triggered the probe.

“The Papadopoulos information is what triggered us going down this path,” Baker said. “… It would have been a dereliction of our duty not to investigate this information.”

James Baker has now interfered in TWO presidential elections and both times he worked to derail Trump while helping the Democrat candidate.

Democrats Vote to Remove Iowa as First Voting State – Replace it with South Carolina to ‘Reflect Party’s Diverse Electorate’

The Democrats on Friday voted to remove Iowa as its first voting state and will replace it with South Carolina.

Apparently Iowa is too white.

This move was championed by Joe Biden to ‘reflect the party’s diverse electorate.’

AP reported:

Democrats voted Friday to remove Iowa as the leadoff state on the presidential nominating calendar and replace it with South Carolina starting in 2024, a dramatic shakeup championed by President Joe Biden to better reflect the party’s deeply diverse electorate.

The Democratic National Committee’s rule-making arm made the move to strip Iowa from the position it has held for five decades after technical meltdowns sparked chaos and marred results of the state’s 2020 caucus. The change also comes after a long push by some of the party’s top leaders to start choosing a president in states that are less white, especially given the importance of Black voters as Democrats’ most loyal electoral base.

Discussion on prioritizing diversity drew such impassioned reaction at the committee gathering in Washington that DNC chair Jaime Harrison wiped away tears as committee member Donna Brazile suggested that Democrats had spent years failing to fight for Black voters: “Do you know what it’s like to live on a dirt road? Do you know what it’s like to try to find running water that is clean?”

Rigorous international study of N95 masks upends federal COVID narrative

Biden's former COVID adviser tries to discredit randomized controlled trial that found no statistically significant real-world performance difference between surgical masks, N95s. Fauci reportedly can't cite any evidence masks work in deposition.

The CDC took nearly two years to formally recognize distinctions between masks for mitigating COVID-19 spread, finally saying in January that cloth masks offer "the least" protection and N95 respirators, which meet strict federal standards, "the highest."

The agency's slight nod to the largely symbolic value of cloth masks, predominantly worn in school settings, followed months of calls by onetime White House COVID advisers, among others, to promote masks actually designed to stop aerosolized transmission. It also spurred a run on N95s, sending prices skyward.

But a new peer-reviewed, randomized controlled trial (RCT) of N95s versus surgical masks, considered the midrange of protection, is undermining the late federal pivot to higher-quality masks and calls to reimpose mask mandates in schools, among other settings.

Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (AIM) this week and led by researchers at Canada's McMaster University, the study found no statistically significant difference in protection between the two kinds of masks in healthcare facilities in Canada, Israel, Pakistan and Egypt.

Funders included the Canadian government and World Health Organization, which unlike the U.S. opposes masking young children and also found "no evidence" face coverings made a difference against influenza in a 2019 study.

Previous RCTs in the COVID era have found mediocre protection from face coverings at best. A Danish study of 6,000 that had trouble getting published — and eventually landed in AIM — found no statistically significant difference between surgical and no-mask wearers.

A much larger Bangladeshi study led by Yale researchers found that villages that got surgical masks reduced symptomatic infection by 11%, but the confidence interval hit zero and statistical significance disappeared for every age group under 50. Cloth masks had an "imprecise zero" effect.

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt claimed that retiring National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, whose flip-flops on masking led to mass public confusion early in the pandemic, couldn't name any studies showing mask effectiveness in his recent deposition in state-led litigation against alleged federal censorship.

Lawyer Jenin Younes, whose New Civil Liberties Alliance joined Schmitt and Louisiana AG Jeff Landry in the litigation, told The Epoch Times Fauci also couldn't cite what "studies or study changed his mind in that interim" between his private opposition to masking in February 2020 and public embrace of masking in April.

The McMaster study enrolled about a thousand healthcare workers from May 2020 through March 2022 "who provided direct care to patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19" and pledged to wear either "fit-tested" N95s or surgical masks for 10 weeks at all times in their facilities. Weekly self-reporting was backed by "external monitoring wherever feasible" and occasional audits.

Workers were excluded if they didn't have "a valid fit test within the past 24 months or could not pass a fit test," had at least one high-risk COVID comorbidity, had previous lab-confirmed COVID or had received one or more COVID vaccine doses "with greater than 50% efficacy for the circulating strain" — excluding lower-quality vaccines common abroad.
