Elon Musk Reacts After “America First Legal” Uncovers Damning Evidence Revealing a Secret Twitter’s “Partner Support Portal” Used by Government to Censor Dissenting COVID-19 Viewpoints

 

More damning evidence of collusion between the CDC and social media companies to stifle free speech and censor the public was revealed in the fourth batch of explosive documents obtained from litigation against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released by the nonprofit organization America First Legal (AFL).

 

Twitter allowed government officials and other “stakeholders” to use a secret portal called, “Partner Support Portal” to report anything they believed to be “misinformation.”

 

Previously, back in July 2021, TGP reported on Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai and his investigation, where he uncovered Twitter’s “partner support portal.”

 

Dr. Shiva discovered that Twitter built a special portal offered to certain governmental entities so that government officials can flag and delete content they dislike for any reason, as part of what they call their “Twitter Partner Status.”

 

Now there is more evidence to back up this theory.

 

According to documents obtained by AFL, one government employee was enrolled in this Portal through their personal Twitter account.

 

Other publicly available documents indicated that Facebook had adopted a similar strategy for censoring content concerning rigged elections.

 

According to AFL, “This production also reveals that the U.S. government was actively working to “socially inoculate”–or brainwashing–the public against anything that threatened its narrative. It did so by using aligned Big Tech corporations to monitor and manipulate users for the purposes of censoring unapproved information and pushing government propaganda. For example, Facebook sent written materials to the CDC in which it bragged about censoring more than sixteen million “pieces of content” containing opinions or information the U.S. government wanted suppressed.”

 

“Finally, the documents reveal the CDC was “collaborating with UNICEF, WHO and IFCN member and leading civil society organization Mafindo” to mitigate “disinformation.” Mafindo is a Facebook third-party fact-checking partner based in Indonesia that is funded by Google.”

Florida Subpoenas Nearly Two Dozen Organizations Pushing Hormones, Transgender Surgeries For Children

 

The state of Florida has subpoenaed almost two dozen medical and academic organizations which are pushing transgender sex change treatments for children, the Daily Caller reports, citing an ongoing lawsuit against a new Medicaid rule.

 

The subpoenas, issued by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), and which seek information about internal decision-making processes and leadership structures for pushing hormone treatments and transgender surgeries on minors, went out in November to 20 organizations.

 

The organizations signed onto a lawsuit against the state, which implemented a new rule in August to no longer cover “gender-affirming” care with Medicaid.

 

“Gender-affirming” care is a euphemism for treatments and procedures that facilitate sex changes, like hormone treatments or sex change surgeries. -Daily Caller

 

A preliminary injunction was filed against the Florida law, however federal judge Robert Hinkle denied it in October, ruling that the issue was not Constitutional, rather, applied to the Medicaid statute.

 

Subpoena recipients include; the American Pediatric Association, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, American Medical Association, American Psychiatric Association, Pediatric Endocrine Society, Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine and Yale University, according to the Caller, which notes that Yale is included despite not being a medical organization because Yale professors have been involved in pushing against the new rule.

 

All 20 organizations have either promoted or employ individuals who promote "gender-affirming" care for minors. The request includes documents pertaining to deliberations involving gender dysphoria and related care, along with policies which have been adopted, side effects associated with those policies and treatments, and how members voted to support said policies.

 

Plaintiffs in the case have argued that the Medicaid rule violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution.

Former Israeli Ambassador to the US predicts Israel will 'take its destiny into its hands' with Iran

 

"This situation is very similar to what existed over 50 years ago, on the eve of the Six Day War when Israel was surrounded by Arab armies," said Oren.

 

Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren said that it is very likely that Israel will act on its own if necessary to preempt Iran from further developing their nuclear weapons capability.

 

"With all the terrible moral decisions at stake, I would think that Israel will take its destiny into its hands," Oren said on Wednesday's edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show.

 

Oren explained that this situation was very similar to the Six Day War in 1967.

 

"This situation is very similar to what existed over 50 years ago, on the eve of the Six Day War when Israel was surrounded by Arab armies," said Oren. "None of those armies fired a shot at Israel. But Israeli leaders understood that if there was a terrorist attack, and Israel wanted to respond to the terrorist attack, that all those armies would jump on us."

 

He explained that if Iran is getting to the point of having nuclear capability, it will be a big issue for other countries, not just the United States and Israel.

 

"If Iran has a nuclear capability, and there's a terrorist attack from Lebanon — we go to defend ourselves and Iran is going to shoot a nuclear weapon at us," Oren explained.

 

"In '67 Israel basically started the war," he continued. "No one shot at us. We destroyed the Egyptian air force first. So it's a very similar situation to June 1967. Now in 2022, the stakes in some ways are even higher. I think Israel is going to have to make some very serious and fateful decisions."

50 Pro-Life Groups Sound Alarm on Taxpayer Funding for Abortions at VA Clinics

 

 

Roughly 50 pro-life groups sent a letter to the U.S. House and Senate on Tuesday, warning that taxpayers could end up funding abortions by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under a new rule put forth by the Biden administration.

 

The letter details how a portion of the $71 million increase in funding from appropriations bills (totaling $911 million) for the Office of Women’s Health at the VA will be used to “underwrite the transformation of veteran’s health facilities into abortion centers” under an interim final rule (IFR) which provides funding for abortion by the VA.

 

“Women veterans deserve quality life-affirming medical care. Instead, the VA has prioritized abortion extremism by investing in an illegal scheme to provide abortions at veterans’ health facilities in violation of both state and federal law,” the letter reads.

 

The groups note that since 1992, the VA has been “statutorily prohibited from using taxpayer dollars for abortion, thereby prioritizing scarce resources for the life-affirming health care needs of American veterans.” But in September of 2022, the Biden administration “ignored the longstanding statutory prohibition on taxpayer funding for abortion at the VA and issued a new rule that includes funding abortion for health reasons.”

 

The letter continues:

 

The undefined reference to health is presumably as broad as defined under Doe v. Bolton (the companion case to Roe v. Wade) which included virtually any reason: ‘medical judgement may be exercised in the light of all factors—physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age—relevant to the wellbeing of the patient. All these factors may relate to health.’

 

The IFR also “expressly authorizes VA health care professionals to perform abortions,” the letter reads, citing a part of the rule which states that VA employees cannot be held liable under state or local law for “reasonably performing their Federal duties.”

 

“This attempt to preempt state law is based on the legal principle that federal law can override state law. However, in this case there is no such federal law allowing for abortion, but rather a federal law prohibiting funding for abortion. An illegal interpretation of federal law cannot justify preemption of legitimate state law,” the letter reads.

 

The coalition of pro-life groups, including March for Life Action, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, and Live Action, wrote that the “blatant disregard for the law and the will of the people is just one in a series of efforts by the current administration to appease the demands of the radical abortion lobby.”

 

“The administration is flagrantly disregarding federal law in their rush to impose abortion on demand until birth at taxpayer expense throughout all fifty states. Now, Congress must consider whether to reward these actions with more hard-earned taxpayer dollars,” the letter concludes.

Fiji's main opposition leader Sitiveni Rabuka says he has 'no faith' in vote count after glitch in election results app

 

Fiji's main opposition leader Sitiveni Rabuka says he doesn't have faith in the vote count underway from yesterday's general election, and will complain to the Fijian Elections Office (FEO).

Key points:

 

The official results publishing app was plagued with technical problems overnight

A glitch occurred during an upload of data to the mobile app

The updated provisional results showed Fiji First narrowly ahead with 45 per cent of votes

 

Provisional counting was suspended late last night after the FEO reported a glitch in the election results app.

 

After the app went back online, Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama's Fiji First party had moved ahead of the main opposition party, The People's Alliance.

 

Mr Rabuka said the results published after the glitch did not line up with his own party's assessment of the count.

 

"I believe everybody is probably taken by surprise at the turn of events last night," Mr Rabuka said in a press conference this morning.

 

"We actually were ahead … but when the systems came back on, there was a big change, not in our favour."

 

He said he would petition Fiji's President Wiliame Katonivere over the matter.

 

The FEO advised of the issues with the provisional count around midnight last night.

 

Elections supervisor Mohammad Saneem held a press conference, saying the FEO had detected an anomaly in the system.

 

"To cure this, Fijian elections office had to review the entire mechanism through which we were pushing our results," Mr Saneem said.

Vaccines, Satan and false flags: Inside the wild online conspiracy theories posing 'real-world dangers' and why the horrific mass shooting in Queensland is a 'wake-up call' for Australia

 

Online posts in the name of Gareth Train are being scrutinised by the police

The comments featured conspiracy material about Jesuits and vaccines

Also claimed high-profile shootings were hoaxes or 'false-flag' operations

 

The shooting deaths of six people during an ambush in Queensland should be a wake-up call for Australians about the real-world dangers posed by online conspiracy theories, analysts say.

 

Online posts in the name of Gareth Train, one of three shooters who killed two police officers and a bystander, have been under police scrutiny since Monday's siege at Wieambilla, in rural Queensland.

 

The other shooters were his brother Nathaniel, and Stacey Train who was married to Nathaniel but left him from Gareth.

 

Gareth Train's online comments featured conspiracy material about Jesuits and vaccines, as well as claims high-profile shootings such as the Port Arthur massacre were hoaxes or 'false-flag' operations.

 

Conspiracy theories have existed for centuries and tend to ramp up during periods of intense societal change or uncertainty, such as the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

However, there's growing concern the current peak will never ease.

 

Katharine Gelber, from the University of Queensland, says one reason for this is the attention-based business model of social media.

 

Algorithms have to present users with increasingly extreme material to keep them logged on.

 

Bots are also spreading conspiracies wider and more rapidly, she said.

 

'The new conspiracism relies on people saying, 'well, I heard it or I saw it on Facebook' or 'people have said',' Professor Gelber told AAP.

 

Elise Thomas, a senior online data analyst at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, said unregulated apps such as Telegram allow multiple theories to blend into overarching conspiratorial world views.

 

'You see a lot of cross-propagation between different kinds of conspiracy narratives, from different countries, in different contexts, all sort of stewing together in this sort of very confusing soup of suspicion,' she said.

Conservative, Christian charities excluded from Amazon donation program

 

The online retailer makes decisions on which groups to include or exclude by consulting the Southern Poverty Law Center's annual "hate map" of organizations that they deem to be spreading "hate."

 

Amazon Smile, a program that allows customers to make donations via their purchases to a charity of their choice, has been systematically excluding conservatives and Christians, according to a report from The Daily Signal.

 

The hugely popular online retailer makes decisions on which groups to include or exclude by consulting with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a scandal-plagued group that releases a widely criticized annual "hate map" of organizations that they deem to be spreading "hate."

 

The map includes violent white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and and anti-Semetic groups such as the Nation of Islam, however it also lists The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a group that promotes the goal of "protecting fundamental freedoms" and "the inherent dignity of all people."

 

The ADF was excluded from Amazon's program as result of its inclusion on the map.

 

In 2020, then-CEO of Amazon Jeff Bezos told Congress that he would be open to finding "a better source" than the SPLC's hate map "if he can get it," adding that he "would like suggestions on better or additional sources."

 

"It’s been over two years since [that acknowledgement]," lamented Jeremy Tedesco, senior counsel and senior vice president of corporate engagement at ADF.

 

"By continuing to depend on the SPLC's own biased and ideologically driven definition of 'hate group,' Mr. Bezos and Amazon are depriving Americans of their ability to choose which causes they want their hard-earned dollars to support."

 

ADF is far from being the only conservative Christian group to have been targeted by the SPLC.

 

The Ruth Institute, a global interfaith coalition equipping Christians to defend the family and "survivors of the sexual revolution," were rejected from the Amazon Smile program in 2016 as a result of their incusion on the aforementioned "hate map."

 

The SPLC cited comments from the institute’s founder, Jennifer Roback Morse, who stated that homosexual activity was "intrinsically disordered," words that come directly from the Catholic Church.

 

"If echoing the Catholic Church’s official position on homosexuality makes an organization a 'hate group'," The Daily Signal's Tyler O'Neil asked, "why does the SPLC not put the Catholic Church itself on its 'hate map'?"

Silvio Berlusconi promises Monza players ‘bus full of whores’ for win

 

A former prime minister of Italy has come under fire for enticements offered to his soccer team.

 

As covered by Reuters, former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was seen on video telling a group of players on his Monza soccer team at a Christmas party earlier this week that if they beat one of the top teams in Serie A, there would be women waiting for them.

 

“I told the guys … now you will play Milan, Juventus. If you win against one of these top teams, I’ll bring a bus of whores into the locker room,” Berlusconi said.

 

Berlusconi, 86, served three different tenures as prime minister of Italy — 1994-1995, 2001-06 and 2008-11.

 

In 2011, Berlusconi was investigated for having sex with an underage prostitute at one of his notorious “bunga bunga” parties; he was ultimately acquitted when a judge determined that Berlusconi did not know the girl was underage.

 

The former prime minister is known for his bombast, and was taken aback by backlash for the remarks. On Instagram, he wrote that it was “locker room talk” and slammed his critics before wishing them a Merry Christmas.

 

“I honestly didn’t think, and no one could imagine, that a simple witty and clearly paradoxical ‘locker room’ joke I addressed to the football players of my Monza could provoke comments as malicious as banal and unrealistic,” Berlusconi wrote, as translated by Instagram. “I feel with these critics. Perhaps it is just their absolute lack of humor that makes them so sad and also so gratuitously evil in attacking those they consider enemies. But it’s Christmas time. So happy birthday to them too.”
