Latest Twitter Files Report Reveals Twitter Banned US President Trump at the Behest of Michelle Obama and Others

The latest Twitter Files report released on Saturday night reveals Twitter took down President Trump’s account at the behest of Michelle Obama and other Democrats.

The Deep State and Democrats blamed President Trump for the violence at the US Capitol following his speech at the Ellipse in Washington DC on January 6.

Now we know that dozens of federal operatives were working inside the crowd that day in Washington DC.

FOX News reported:

Former President Donald Trump was banned from Twitter the day after former first lady Michelle Obama and others demanded the company “permanently” remove him, according to the newest “Twitter Files” installment.

On Saturday, CEO Elon Musk and journalist Michael Shellenberger released the fourth batch of Twitter documents that show internal communications by the company’s executives between Jan. 6-8, 2021, including and shortly after the riot at the Capitol Building.

Among the files, Shellenberger reported “internal and external pressure,” including from the former first lady, fell onto the company calling for Trump to be banned from using Twitter.

“Now is the time for Silicon Valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior—and go even further than they have already by permanently banning this man from their platforms and putting in place policies to prevent their technologies from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection,” Obama wrote in a lengthy statement posted to Twitter on Jan. 7.

She added: “And if we have any hope of improving this nation, now is the time for swift and serious consequences for the failure of leadership that led to yesterday’s shame.”

In addition to the former first lady, the Anti-Defamation League, among several other prominent people and organizations called for Trump’s ban.

FBI Refuses Again to Share the Whole Truth About Seth Rich’s Murder – Experts Wonder If Deep State Is Trying to Protect Its Use of a Domestic Spying Database

The FBI continues to make up reasons for why it can’t turn over information on Seth Rich’s murder. They just can’t be honest and tell us the truth. This has been going on for years.

This has literally been going on for years. Attorney Ty Clevenger has demanded the FBI provide documents related to their records on Seth Rich’s murder and the FBI continues to stall and refuse to cooperate.

We reported previously on December 9, 2020:

This story started with the release of emails by WikiLeaks related to the DNC and Hillary’s Campaign Manager creepy John Podesta. Within days, in June 2016, Ellen Nakashima, a Deep State favorite from the Washington Post, released a report that the Democrat National Committee (DNC) had been hacked by Russia. The firm that validated this was Crowdstrike and its President Shawn Henry confirmed the claims.

In December 2016, Ms. Nakashima followed up her reporting with the outlandish claim that the CIA had determined that Russia hacked the DNC because Russia wanted Trump to win the election. Nakashima also reported that the the Intel Community had determined that Russia also sent the emails to WikiLeaks. This position was reinforced by the Mueller gang in their efforts to have President Trump removed from office.

WikiLeaks did release DNC emails related to John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Manager, in the months before the 2016 Presidential election which showed massive corruption combined with an elitist attitude from members of the Hillary Clinton team – all willing to do whatever it took to win the election.

The Trump – Russia fairy tale sounded fraudulent from the start and even preposterous.

On March 8, 2020 and before on June 16, 2019, we presented arguments against the Mueller gang’s assertion that the DNC was hacked by Russians.

Cyber expert Yaacov Apelbaum posted an incredible report with information basically proving that the DNC was not hacked by the Russians.

Then, after years of being hidden by corrupt lying Representative Adam Schiff in Congress, a number of testimonies related to the Russia collusion sham were unveiled after Schiff received pressure from Richard Grenell, the Acting Director of National Intelligence (ADNI) to release the transcripts. One transcript was from Crowdstrike’s Shawn Henry who stated under oath that Crowdstrike had no evidence that Russia even “exfiltrated” the emails from the DNC. The whole ‘Russia stole the DNC emails and sent them to WikiLeaks’ story was a fraud.

Many people suspected that in 2016 a young man working for the DNC by the name of Seth Rich, copied emails from the DNC and shared them with WikiLeaks. Mr. Rich was murdered in Washington D.C. in July 2016 and it was labeled a robbery, but his wallet, phone and watch were found on his person when the police arrived at the scene. We reported numerous oddities surrounding his death.

The Mueller gang never looked into the Seth Rich matter and never interviewed Julian Assange from WikiLeaks to determine who provided Assange the DNC emails which were reportedly the cause of the Russia collusion sham. We know this based on his thousand pages of reports where this is never mentioned.

We reported in mid-February 2020 how Attorney Ty Clevenger, who represents a client who is being sued for his comments about Seth Rich, reported to the courts that despite numerous assurances from the FBI that they had no information related to Seth Rich, emails related to Seth Rich were identified and provided to Judicial Watch. It looked like the FBI was lying to Clevenger all along.

(There is much, much more in our prior posts that refer to this matter. Please take a look.)

Germany reveals number of ‘Citizens of the Reich’

The extremist right-wing organization behind the recent coup plot is growing fast, the interior minister says

The number of far-right extremists who deny the legitimacy of modern-day Germany has reached 23,000, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser told the newspaper Bild am Sonntag on Sunday. She called for a comprehensive crackdown on the Reichsbuerger ‘Citizens of the Reich’ movement.

According to Faeser, the Reichsbuerger community, which rejects the country’s current political system and borders, has grown by 2,000 members over the past year. She said that 10% of those in the group are considered to be ready for violence.

On Wednesday, police arrested 25 Reichsbuergers, or self-styled ‘citizens of the Reich’, who are suspected of plotting a coup. The 71-year-old Heinrich XIII, Prince of Reuss and a member of a minor German aristocratic family, was named as the group’s leader.

“We are not dealing with harmless nutcases, but with terrorism suspects, all of whom are now in custody and awaiting trial,” Faeser said, adding that 239 violent acts by Reichsbuergers were recorded last year, and at least 1,050 people had their firearm permits revoked. The minister called for “maximum pressure” on the community and said that the government would “further tighten gun laws.”

In April, German police arrested four people with ties to the Reichsbuerger movement on suspicions of plotting to kidnap Health Minister Karl Lauterbach.

Israeli-Based 3D-Printed Lab-Grown Meat Company is Building World’s Largest Facility in North Carolina

An Israeli company that specializes in 3D-printed lab-grown meat with non-GMO animal cells is currently building the world’s largest commercial-scale production facility in North Carolina.

Believer Meat, formerly known as Future Meat Technologies, is building its facility with an initial planned investment of $123.35 million located in Wilson County, North Carolina, which covers a site of 200,000-square-foot.

“BELIEVER Meats, a leading pioneer of the cultivated meat industry, officially broke ground today on its first U.S. commercial facility in Wilson, North Carolina,” the company said in a statement Wednesday.

“Once operational, the 200,000-square-foot facility will be the largest cultivated meat production center in the world with the capacity to produce at least 10,000 metric tons of cultivated meat, without the need to slaughter a single animal. This is a watershed moment for the cultivated meat industry that will allow BELIEVER Meats to meet growing demand for decades to come.”

“We’re pleased to welcome Believer Meats to North Carolina,” said Governor Roy Cooper (D-NC).

The facility’s groundbreaking is the latest in a series of developments as the company prepares to introduce its products to consumers, including its rebranding from Future Meat Technologies to BELIEVER Meats, its R&D breakthrough with cultivating lamb, and the creation of a global executive team.

According to its press release in November, the company was the first to “immortalize animal cells without genetic modification.”

“The company opened the world’s first cultivated meat production line in Israel in 2021, becoming the first company to immortalize animal cells without any genetic modification and has pioneered a culture medium recycling technology that can reduce production costs and waste. Believer is establishing cultivated meat as the new standard around the world—leading a bold change in how meat is produced in our global food system,” it stated.

“Our name change speaks to our confidence in our mission to make it possible for all future generations to eat meat. Our team has created a revolutionary technology that blazed ahead of the field in terms of cost, safety and product experience,” said Prof. Yaakov Nahmias, President, Founder and Chief Science Officer of Believer.

“As the demand for meat continues to grow in coming decades, the current conventional meat industry won’t be able to meet the supply needed,” he continued.

In an interview with Interesting Engineering, Nahmias explained what non-GMO production is.

“Believer utilizes fibroblasts instead of traditional stem cells. Fibroblasts are robust connective tissue cells that grow efficiently, even in complex environments. They undergo a process termed spontaneous immortalization in which cells rearrange their chromosomes and start growing indefinitely without genetic intervention. Thus, Believer’s cell stock for chicken, lamb, beef, and pork is non-GMO.”

The Gateway Pundit reported that the US Food and Drug Administration on November approved lab-grown meat, a product grown from animal cells, for human consumption for the first time.

The FDA announced that laboratory-grown chicken developed by Upside Food, is “safe to eat,” clearing the way for the California-based company that creates cell-cultured chickens to begin selling its products.

To manufacture its meat, Upside Foods harvests cells from live animals, chicken tissue, and uses the cells to grow meat in stainless-steel tanks known as bioreactors.

The agency issued a statement announcing it evaluated Upside Food’s production and cultured cell material and has “no further questions” about the safety of its cultivated chicken filet.

“The world is experiencing a food revolution,” stated FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf. “Advancements in cell culture technology are enabling food developers to use animal cells obtained from livestock poultry, and seafood in the production of food with these products expected to be ready for the US market in the near future.”

“The FDA’s goal is to support innovation in food technologies while always maintaining as our first priority the safety of the foods available to US consumers,” he added.

Evidence Shows that It’s Not Just Twitter and the FBI, the State Department, CISA, Facebook. YouTube and Google Are Also Working to Censure and Ban the Information You Receive

There is a hole in the dike. There is more on the most shocking First Amendment crimes perpetrated by our government since the country’s beginnings.

Elon Musk at Twitter released information that revealed the FBI was working with Twitter to censor, shadow ban, and suspend tweets and accounts from conservatives and othters. Twitter targeted accounts posting information the government, Democrats, and social media officials did not want to be shared.

The FBI and CIA had also infiltrated Twitter at its highest levels and were involved in company decisions at the top.

TGP reported on Friday that the government was funding fake fact checkers to manage information they opposed. Who are these people who are so brainwashed into believing that their perceptions and ideas are the only correct beliefs?

Digging deeper into Kimmage’s interview with the Missouri and Louisiana Secretaries of State, we find that the government’s efforts involve the State Department, CISA and Facebook as well.

Daniel Kimmage worked as the Acting Coordinator for the Global Engagement Center (GEC) at the Department of State. As noted above, Kimmage was recently deposed. During his questioning, he also discussed a situation where the GEC was forwarded some information from “a state official called Alex Dempsey” who also worked at the GEC.

Dempsey flagged a “disinformation” campaign on YouTube. This information was forwarded from the GEC to CISA. This information was then forwarded to Facebook. The Facebook recipient responded, “Thank you” for the information.

This information was also forwarded on to Twitter and Google.

As we have known for years now, Twitter was not the only platform working with government to silence conservatives. Google, YouTube and Facebook have also been doing this for years.

Musk Defends FBI, says ‘Twitter Operated as a Democratic Party Activist Machine’

Musk gave the benefit of the doubt to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a U.S. intelligence gathering and law enforcement agency which has done nothing to investigate the Hunter Biden laptop or the clients maintained by Jeff Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's international sex trafficking ring.

In an online interaction on Friday between investigative journalist, Matt Taibbi, the new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, and independent journalist, Glenn Greenwald, the Tesla CEO described the pre-Musk Twitter as a Democratic National Convention (DNC) operation and stated he thinks the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) tends to do “the right thing.”

“With rare exception, the FBI seems to want to do the right thing, but there is no question that Twitter operated as a Democratic Party activist machine,” Musk said in a post published on Friday.

“Yoel Roth, meeting with FBI weekly, and his little censorship minions absolutely degraded Twitter into little more than a full-on Democratic Party activist machine, all while lying to the public about its function. This was a massive public fraud and 2020 election interference,” Greenwald said.

New Zealand entrepreneur, Kim Dotcom, disagreed with Musk’s take on the FBI.

“Nope. The FBI is deeply embedded in the deep state. It has been weaponized for decades to go after enemies of the deep state,” Dotcom said. “In recent years the FBI has become more blatant because deep state control of the media, big tech, and many politicians means there are no consequences.”

Macron Announces Minors Will Be Provided with Condoms for Free

Condoms will be provided for free to children in French pharmacies, President Emmanuel Macron announced on Twitter on Friday.

Following a decision to make condoms free for all people aged between 18 and 25 on Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron said that he would extend the handout to minors as well.

Speaking in a video posted on Twitter, Macron said that, after the announcement of free condoms for 18-25-year-olds, “I was attacked by several of you that many of our young minors had sex and that they also had to be able to protect themselves, that they could have the same financial constraints.”

“We will work to extend this measure to minors… I think it’s a very good prevention policy to allow all young people to protect themselves,” he added.

According to a report from Le Figaro, Health Minister François Braun said that the policy will allow for people up to the age of 25 to be reimbursed by the government for the full purchase price at taxpayer expense. He also said that the government will not require minors to have a prescription to purchase condoms.

It was not revealed if the government will require parental consent for the reimbursement of condoms to those under the age of 18.

Cartel-Connected Mexican Official Escapes Arrest in Helicopter With No Tail Number

A cartel-connected Mexican official who was the target of a police operation evaded arrest by flying away in an unregistered helicopter with no tail numbers. During the escape, cartel members called a series of bomb threats to various government buildings including a school and a hospital leading to the death of two patients.

The incident took place earlier this month in the city of Mante, Tamaulipas. Breitbart Texas traveled to the region to investigate the high-profile escape covered up by government officials.

On December 1, the day of the escape, Gulf Cartel associates called four locations claiming there was a bomb in each building and it was going to go off. One of the buildings was a government-run clinic called Family Medicine Unit 24. A second building was the main IMSS hospital. A third building was the Mante City Hall. And, a fourth building was a local school called CBTIS which had 1,800 students inside.

Law enforcement sources revealed to Breitbart Texas due to the bomb threat, authorities evacuated all of the buildings, including the hospital which had 101 patients at the time. Two of the patients died during the evacuation.

Two hours after the initial call, a helicopter without any identifying tail markings landed in an area called Irrigation Park next to some soccer fields and 30 yards away from the water district offices.

Breitbart Texas obtained an exclusive cell phone video capturing the moment the unregistered helicopter landed. Moments later, Carlos Santiago Gonalez, the current head of the local water district and the target of a police investigation can be seen walking to and climbing into the helicopter as it takes off towards the border city of Matamoros.

Medvedev says enemy entrenched global wide, Russia boosting production of powerful weapons

His commentary is addressed to Ukraine’s Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council who said that Kiev’s enemy was on the territory from the adjoined Donbass republics to Vladivostok

Russia is boosting the production of the most powerful weapons, including based on new physical principles, for countering Western countries that support Kiev’s regime, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel Sunday.

"Our enemy is entrenched <…in Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and a whole number of other places that have sworn allegiance to today’s Nazis. That is why we are boosting the production of the most powerful means of destruction, including those based on new principles," he said.

The commentary is addressed to Ukraine’s Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Aleksey Danilov who said on Saturday that Kiev’s enemy was on the territory from the adjoined Donbass republics to Vladivostok.

Facebook Reverses Policy on Human Trafficking Posts

After defending posts on human rights grounds, Facebook says solicitations of human smuggling will be removed

Facebook is reversing the controversial policy put in place early this year, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, that allowed for users to solicit human traffickers to smuggle them across the border.

The social media giant, which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp, announced Thursday in a policy memo that, going forward, users are forbidden from posting any content that "offers to provide or facilitate human smuggling" or "asks for human smuggling services." The platform previously held that these types of posts were needed to protect human rights.

The Free Beacon revealed Facebook's previous policy, which permitted users to solicit human smugglers, in February. At the time, Facebook balked at the suggestion that the policy could lead to abuse of migrants and pushed back on the conflation of human smuggling and human trafficking. Spokesman Drew Pusateri, a former Democratic staffer who is no longer with the company, told the Free Beacon that it was "deeply odd" to suggest that human smuggling leads to human trafficking, as "there are literally differing legal definitions for both things."

Facebook has changed its tune—its Thursday memo says that human smuggling and trafficking "can be related and exhibit overlap" and that both are "human exploitation."

"The United Nations defines human smuggling as the procurement or facilitation of illegal entry into a state across international borders," the memo states. "Without necessity for coercion or force, it may still result in the exploitation of vulnerable individuals who are trying to leave their country of origin, often in pursuit of a better life."

Facebook faced pressure from left-wing activist groups who said allowing the solicitation of human smuggling on social media platforms was necessary to protect human rights. Although Facebook did not cite any specific organizations, the company said that "NGOs working with migrants" contributed to the decision.

Facebook spokeswoman Jeanne Moran said the platform is "constantly" working to improve policies.

"We don't allow human exploitation on our platforms, including human smuggling or trafficking, and we remove such content when we find it," Moran said. "We especially want to support those escaping conflict and oppression with information on how to seek asylum or legal migration while also protecting them from harm. We are constantly seeking community and expert feedback to improve our policies so we can promote safety and serve as a resource for the people who need it most."

Facebook's rationale for the change echoes the concerns made nearly a year ago by Republican lawmakers such as Sen. Josh Hawley (Mo.). Hawley alleged at the time that Facebook may be in violation of "federal anti-trafficking laws," citing the company's decision to provide resources to users who solicit traffickers on its platforms. Human smuggling services—clandestine services that bring an individual into another country for money—are often indistinguishable from human traffickers, who buy and sell individuals for forced labor or sex.

The focus on the policy came after the Tech Transparency Project in April 2021 identified a surge in Facebook groups devoted to human smuggling. Illegal crossings at the southern border have reached all-time highs since President Joe Biden entered office.

Republican senators Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Thom Tillis (N.C.), and Steve Daines (Mont.) in November wrote a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg demanding that the company "take immediate steps to stop facilitating illegal immigration." Their letter cited reports that cartels use Facebook's platforms to recruit drivers for their human smuggling operations.

"Although your company has developed—and long enjoyed the benefits of—incredibly complex algorithms and other technology to keep users addicted, you claim to be unable to curb these illegal immigration schemes," the letter stated. "You have the ability to address this problem, and it is critical that you take immediate steps to stop facilitating illegal immigration on your platform."

USAID takes soundings for potential $40M-$48M climate change aid program for Colombia

At COP27 climate summit in late November, wealthy nations agreed to compensate more vulnerable countries for purported "loss and damage" resulting from climate change.

The Golden Horseshoe is a weekly designation from Just The News intended to highlight egregious examples of wasteful taxpayer spending by the government. The award is named for the horseshoe-shaped toilet seats for military airplanes that cost the Pentagon a whopping $640 each back in the 1980s.

This week's Golden Horseshoe is awarded to the United States Agency for International Development for potentially spending up to $48 million over the next several years to help Colombia achieve its climate change remediation goals, according to a notice posted on Nov. 23.

"The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking feedback through this Request for Information (RFI) from entities interested in the attached Concept Paper for the USAID/Climate Finance Activity," the foreign aid agency announced. "This Activity will leverage and mobilize public and private finance to support Colombia's climate adaptation and mitigation targets in key sectors."

USAID anticipates providing $40 million to $48 million in aid to support Colombia's goals over the 2023-2028 time frame. The deadline to submit feedback on the potential funding is Jan. 9.

The Climate Finance Activity Concept Paper attached to the RFI details Colombia's climate mitigation and adaptation goals, explaining the country expects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 51% by 2030.

"Human-driven climate change is a global crisis, and it is disrupting ecological systems, affecting economic growth, and increasing poverty, conflict, and instability," the concept paper claims. "In Colombia, increased intensity and duration of extreme weather events have negatively impacted communities, the economy, and the environment.

"Climate finance refers to using public and private funding to support the country's climate mitigation actions. USAID can leverage climate financing to increase funding in projects and businesses that address climate change and help limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, as called for under the Paris Agreement."

The U.S. government funding anticipated in this RFI is envisaged as but a small down payment in a far larger, global public and private financial commitment to Colombia to address climate change.

"According to the Colombian National Planning Department (DNP), reducing GHG emissions by 20 percent will require an annual investment of USD $1 billion, with 62 percent of this investment coming from the private sector," the concept paper reports. "The DNP also estimates that an additional USD $2.1 billion is needed to help key sectors and regions prepare for future climate events and probable climate change scenarios, like reduced rainfall and increasing temperatures."

As previously reported by JTN, countries at the COP27 climate summit reached an agreement in late November for wealthy nations to compensate more vulnerable countries for "loss and damage" resulting from climate change.

While USAID is an independent federal agency, it receives guidance from the secretary of state. President Biden's 2023 budget request would increase USAID and State Department climate change funding to $2.3 billion.

"Investment figures mentioned in the Request for Information (RFI) illustrate anticipated needs to address the technical problem described in the concept paper and do not represent USAID funding commitments," a USAID spokesperson emphasized in a statement to Just the News. "The RFI is a market research tool to gather stakeholder feedback. The information received will be used to refine the design of this new climate finance activity under the direction of USAID/Colombia's 2020-2025 Country Development Cooperation Strategy."
