Investigation pulls back veil on Soros’ ‘indoctrination’ efforts

At least 54 high-profile media personalities are connected to groups the tycoon helped finance, MRC Business has claimed

Billionaire George Soros has links to dozens of prominent media figures in the US and beyond, via organizations he funded, a conservative US watchdog has claimed.

In the last report of a three-part investigation, published on Tuesday, MRC Business examined the ties of the Budapest-born mogul, concluding that he “cemented himself as one of the most powerful influencers in global politics through his incredible influence in the media.”

MRC Business said that it had uncovered at least “54 major figures in journalism and activist media who are connected to Soros-funded organizations.” The list includes CNN's chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour, NBC News anchor Lester Holt, and Cesar Conde, the NBCUniversal News Group chairman, who oversees the outlets NBC News, MSNBC, and CNBC.

Many of the 54 individuals play prominent roles in institutions funded by Soros. For instance, Amanpour is a senior adviser at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), which received $2.75 million from the mogul between 2018 and 2020, while Holt is listed as a board member in the same organization. Conde is a trustee at the Aspen Institute, which received over $1 million from the billionaire between 2016 and 2020.

According to MRC, in total Soros has funneled over $32 billion into his organizations in a bid “to spread his radical ‘open society’ agenda on abortion, Marxist economics, anti-Americanism, defunding the police, environmental extremism and LGBT fanaticism.” These efforts have paid off, allowing him to “help indoctrinate millions with his views on a day-to-day basis”, the group claims.

MRC has previously claimed that Soros has financial ties to at least 253 media organizations globally, funding them through his non-profit groups and enabling him to reach viewers and listeners in virtually every corner of the world.

Commenting on the report, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova noted on Thursday that such revelations could be compared to a “nuclear bombshell.” Should it be proven that the leading US media outlets “received money for adjusting their coverage, all US democracy could be wrapped up in their Constitution and thrown out into the garbage heap of history,” she said.

A Davos speaker explicitly outlined the World Economic Forum’s agenda when he stated that the goal was to create a “new world order.”

The remarks were made during the annual elitist confab yesterday by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Pakistan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.

“Here at WEF…there’s a lot of discussion about what the new world order will be…how do we work towards that new normative international order that allows us to address our differences and disputes as the civilized world,” said Zardari.

“I believe that at the moment we are in such a hyper partisan, hyper polarized time that we’re not going to be able to form that new Helsinki today, but going forward…we must form and improve our normative and international institutional order internationally so that we can address these complaints,” he added.

“I hope this time around, once we’re building this new world order or new rules based order, the voice of the global south and the developing world is included,” said Zardari.

Another speaker complained about countries valuing their own sovereignty over the interests of the “world order”.

The establishment media still treats the ‘new world order’ as a conspiracy theory that doesn’t exist, apart from when actual globalists use the phrase, in which case it does exist and is a good thing.

What will life look like under the New World Order?

We don’t have make wild guesses, numerous other Davos attendees have explicitly outlined how it will be manifested.

So-called 5 minute cities which look like prisons.

Utah Doctor Arrested for Giving Saline Shots to Kids Instead of Vaccines

A Utah plastic surgeon, his neighbor, and two others are facing charges after allegedly giving people fake vaccination cards and destroying government-provided COVID-19 vaccinations.

Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., 58, and his neighbor, Kristin Jackson Andersen, 59, have been charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to convert, sell, convey, and dispose of government property, conversion sale, conveyance, and disposal of government property and aiding and abetting.

The Plastic Institute of Utah Inc., along with office manager Kari Dee Burgoyne, 52, and receptionist Sandra Flores, 31, faces the same charges.

According to court documents, Moore and his co-defendants allegedly ran a scheme out of Plastic Surgery Institute of Utah Inc. to defraud the United States and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The documents say Moore and Andersen were members of a private organization seeking to “liberate the medical profession from government and industry conflicts of interest.”

In the allegations, the four destroyed at least $28,000 worth of COVID-19 vaccinations and distributed at least 1,900 doses’ worth of fake completed vaccination record cards. The court documents allege the fake vaccination cards were sold either for direct cash payments of $50 per person per occurrence or required “donations to a specified charitable organization.”

The court documents estimate the fake vaccination cards have a total value of nearly $97,000.

Moore and his co-defendants also allegedly gave children saline shots at the request of their parents so the children would think they were receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

“By allegedly falsifying vaccine cards and administering saline shots to children instead of COVID-19 vaccines, not only did this provider endanger the health and well-being of a vulnerable population, but also undermined public trust and the integrity of federal health care programs,” said Special Agent in Charge with the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General Curt L. Muller.

The defendants are scheduled for their initial appearance in court on Jan. 26 at 2 p.m.

Tucker: CIA Took Down Nixon Because He Wanted to Know Who Killed Kennedy, Woodward was Intel Plant

Tucker Carlson dropped the hammer on the “permanent Deep State” yesterday, charging that the CIA was actually behind Richard Nixon’s ouster over Watergate by a former intel operative named Bob Woodward who “came directly from the classified areas of the federal government.”

Tucker Carlson on Fox News:

“If you really want to understand how the American government actually works at the highest levels, and if you want to know why they don’t teach history anymore, one thing you should know is that the most popular president in American history was Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon. Yet somehow, without a single vote being cast by a single American voter, Richard Nixon was kicked out of office and replaced by the only unelected president in American history. So, we went for the most popular president to a president nobody voted for. Wait a minute, you may ask, why didn’t I know that? Wasn’t Richard Nixon a criminal?

Wasn’t he despised by all decent people? No, he wasn’t. In fact, if any president could claim to be the people’s choice, it was Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon was re-elected in 1972 by the largest margin of the popular vote ever recorded before or since. Nixon got 17 million more votes than his opponent. Less than two years later, he was gone. He was forced to resign and in his place, an obedient servant of the federal agencies called Gerald Ford took over the White House.

How did that happen? Well, it’s a long story, but here are the highlights and they tell you a lot. Richard Nixon believes that elements in the federal bureaucracy were working to undermine the American system of government and had been doing that for a long time. He often said that. He was absolutely right. On June 23, 1972, Nixon met with the then–CIA director, Richard Helms, at the White House. During the conversation, which thankfully was tape-recorded, Nixon suggested he knew “who shot John,” meaning President John F. Kennedy. Nixon further implied that the CIA was directly involved in Kennedy’s assassination, which we now know it was. Helms’s telling response? Total silence, but for Nixon, it didn’t matter because it was already over. Four days before, on June 19, The Washington Post had published the first of many stories about a break-in at the Watergate office building.

Unbeknownst to Nixon and unreported by The Washington Post, four of the five burglars worked for the CIA. The first of many dishonest Watergate stories was written by a 29-year-old metro reporter called Bob Woodward. Who exactly was Bob Woodward? Well, he wasn’t a journalist. Bob Woodward had no background whatsoever in the news business. Instead, Bob Woodward came directly from the classified areas of the federal government. Shortly before Watergate, Woodward was a naval officer at the Pentagon.

'Witches' give Catholic students magical 'crystals' – counselor loses job for inviting Wiccans to school

A counselor at a Pennsylvania Catholic high school recently lost her job after inviting three Wiccan "witches" to speak to students. The presentation, which was supposed to be about starting a small business, went "off the rails" when the self-proclaimed witches provided the students with magical "crystals," KDKA-TV reported.

The witches told the news outlet that the North Catholic High School counselor invited the women to talk to a marketing class of junior and senior students about being "female entrepreneurs." The three women own Elemental Magick, a "metaphysical" business that sells crystals with magical properties, incense, candles, and books.

According to the women, just before Christmas break, they were invited to speak at the school because one of them was formerly a "sorority sister" with the counselor who extended the invite.

In a Thursday Facebook post, the women explained that they provided students with crystals to act as "icebreakers" because they thought the teenagers would like them. After discussing the challenges of starting their business, they hoped to share each rock's "metaphysical properties" with the students.

Tabitha Latshaw, one of the Wiccan witches, explained that she was unaware that the alleged magical properties of the crystals would be "an offense to the Church."

Latshaw told KDKA, "God made these [crystals]. They come from the earth. That's all I can say."

"We worship as Wiccans," she added. "We worship nature. So our elements, earth, air, water and fire, that's what we worship."

Michelle Peduto, secretary for North Catholic High School, told the news outlet that the witches' visit went "off the rails" when students became uneasy about the crystals' supposed magical properties and reported the incident "directly to the administrators."

The school conducted an investigation over the winter break and sent an email apology to students' parents. School officials advised the students to dispose of the crystals and recite a prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel to cleanse their homes.

Peduto noted that crystals with magical properties have no place in a Catholic school or home.

"It is because as we know our faith is in Jesus Christ and not in objects necessarily," Peduto explained. "Rosary beads? Yes. But crystals? No."

According to Peduto, as a result, the counselor is no longer with the school.

"We followed our process and protocol and as of today, actually, a few days, she's not with the school anymore," Peduto told KDKA.

The counselor told KDKA that she was placed on administrative leave and given the option to resign. She insisted that she had no intention of pushing Wiccan beliefs on the students.

Big Tech Unites, Urges Supreme Court to Keep Laws Protecting Social Media Companies in Place

A slew of big tech giants, including Meta, Microsoft, and Twitter, have joined Google in filing legal briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that amending a statute pertaining to social media companies’ liability for content posted on their platforms could strip the companies of protections from lawsuits.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act generally shields online platforms like Google and Meta from liability for content published by third parties, or their users. The law was passed by Congress in 1996.

This year, in February, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a high-profile case—Gonzalez v. Google—which centers around whether or not online websites should be held liable for content recommended on their sites.

For example, Nohemi Gonzalez was a 23-year-old American citizen who has killed by ISIS terrorists when they opened fire in a Paris bistro in November 2015. Lawyers for the family have argued that Google-owned YouTube was partly to blame for the incident and helped the terrorist group to grow by allowing it to share content with its users, thus prompting deaths.

Lawyers for Gonzalez also alleged that YouTube’s recommendation algorithms made it easier for ISIS videos to reach potential recruits.

The Supreme Court is now weighing up possibly striking down some of the protections provided in Section 230.

FBI Chief Says China Stole Sensitive Data for Use in AI Program

The Chinese regime has the largest hacking program in the world, and its artificial intelligence program is built on sensitive data the regime stole over the years, FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Thursday.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Wray warned of the cybersecurity threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) use of technological advances against the United States.

Wray said the artificial intelligence program in China is “built on top of the massive troves of intellectual property” and is not constrained by the same set of laws that apply in the United States and other democracies.

He said the CCP could use artificial intelligence to advance its hacking program, intellectual property theft, and repression that not only occurs in mainland China but “increasingly is a product that they export around the world” if left unchecked.

“That’s something we’re deeply concerned about, and I think everyone here should be deeply concerned about,” Wray said at the forum.

Such concerns have long been voiced by U.S. officials.

In October 2021, for instance, U.S. counterintelligence officials issued warnings about China’s ambitions in artificial intelligence as part of a renewed effort to inform business executives, academics, and local and state government officials about the risks of accepting Chinese investment or expertise in key industries.

Wray previously emphasized the CCP’s use of coercive laws to effectively force technology transfers from U.S. businesses operating in China to the state.

US Companies Aware of Surveillance

In an apparent reference to China’s national intelligence laws, which allow the regime to demand the data of any company in the name of security, Wray said that many U.S. companies simply accept that they’ll be spied on.

“China’s economy also gives it leverage and tools, sway over companies. … For many U.S. and foreign companies doing business in China, or looking to, the cost effectively amounts to a blanket consent to state surveillance in the name of security, at best,” Wray said at a cybersecurity talk at Boston College on June 1, 2022.

“At worst, they’ve got to accept the risk that their sensitive information may be co-opted to serve Beijing’s geopolitical goals,” he said.

Wray also described how the CCP uses state-mandated tax systems in China to covertly spy on companies on the mainland. He said that Chinese laws require businesses to make use of a small suite of software options for tax purposes, at least one of which was used by the CCP to implant malware into companies’ systems to allow covert government access to the company’s data.

Aside from direct government intervention, Wray said that China, along with Iran and Russia, is hiring hackers as if they were cyber mercenaries, and providing them with state resources to conduct attacks on the United States on China’s behalf.

Such actors, he said, frequently target the defense and industrial sectors to cause havoc, deny access, or steal secrets.

“The Chinese government is methodical, hacking in support of long-term economic goals,” he said.

“They’ve got a bigger hacking program than all other major nations combined. They’ve stolen more American personal and corporate data than all nations combined. And they’re showing no sign of tempering their ambition and aggression.”

Joe Biden named in 2017 email to Hunter seeking China natural gas deal

Joe Biden’s name was mentioned prominently in an October 2017 email seeking to firm up a controversial, multimillion-dollar deal to ship natural gas from the US to China, the communication, found on first son Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, reveals.

In a missive dated Oct. 27 of that year, Louisiana attorney Robert W. Fenet told Hunter and his uncle, first brother Jim Biden, that he had secured a contact for them at Houston energy company Cherniere, the Daily Mail reported Friday.

“I confirm I have requested [the contact] to be available for a call from Joe Biden and Hunter Biden on Monday morning,” Fenet wrote.

The attorney did not immediately return a message from The Post requesting clarification on why the then-former vice president was name dropped.

President Biden has a history of ties to Cherniere’s executives: He named former company lobbyist and vice president Ankit Desai as his political director in 2005, and former board member Heather Zichal became his campaign climate adviser in 2020.

At the time the email was sent, however, Biden was the former Obama administration vice president and about a year-and-a-half away from announcing a presidential run. The White House did not respond to The Post’s request for a comment on the note.

Although Biden has repeatedly denied involvement in his ne’er-do-well son’s Chinese business dealings, records from Hunter’s laptop and witness testimony suggest he was aware of, if not directly connected to, the transactions.

In emails with Fenet, Jim Biden referred to the Biden clan’s involvement in the project, which involved supplying millions of tons of liquid natural gas (LNG) from Louisiana to Chinese state-backed conglomerate CEFC Energy.

“We Biden’s [sic] often fraught with problems, that they can can [sic] come from working with family members, are of a different mind. It’s all about family, and people we choose to do business with,” Jim wrote Fenet on Oct. 19, 2017.

On May 13, 2017, Hunter’s business partner James Gilliar said in an email that 10% of equity in the CEFC venture would be kept in equity “by H for the big guy.”

Both Gilliar and another Biden business partner, Tony Bobulinski, have said “the big guy” is a reference to Joe Biden.

UK PM Sunak: ‘Idiots’ Think the Government Can Cut Taxes

Gaffe or mask slip? British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told an audience that because they weren’t “idiots” they’d have the capacity to comprehend why he wouldn’t be cutting taxes any time soon, leaving some reeling at the clear corollary implied.

Rishi Sunak and his Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance minister) Jeremy Hunt — the dynamic duo who brought down the previous Conservative Party government of tax-cutting Liz Truss in what was broadly seen as a globalist coup — were touring economically deprived areas on Thursday when the Prime Minister was asked about cutting taxes.

As reported by British Conservative Party-adjacent newspaper The Daily Telegraph, the PM’s response was rather terse, telling his audience “I want to cut your taxes… I wish I could do that tomorrow, quite frankly, but the reason we can’t is because of all the reasons you know. You’re not idiots, you know what’s happened”.

Sunak went on to say the government shutting down the economy for coronavirus and the war in Ukraine means he couldn’t cut taxes.

Before letting Britons keep more of their own money, Sunak said he had a shopping list of things he wanted to do first, saying he wanted to get more funding to government departments, get interest rates lower, and get a “grip” on inflation.

The comments have, perhaps unsurprisingly, caused some concern. Richard Tice, leader of the Reform Party — previously Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party — said Sunak was showing his “consocialist” colours with the remark. Tory Brexiteer John Redwood questioned Sunak’s logic of only cutting tax once the economy was growing, pointing out the very long-term Conservative view that it is tax cuts that spur the economy to growth, not the other way around.

The Telegraph cited John Longworth, former director-general of the British Chambers of Commerce and Member of the European Parliament (MEP) as saying that Sunak reaching for words like “idiot” to describe those in favour of shrinking the state shows “desperation on his part”.

“We should cut tax and regulation, stimulate the economy and enterprise – and that will generate tax revenues. It is a bizarre situation that we are in, where we have people at the top of government who do not believe in growth. They need to go and read Mrs Thatcher,” Longworth added.

Mexican Judge Jails Entire Cartel Cell After Attempted Murder of Journalist

A judge in Mexico City ordered 12 members of a drug distribution cell be held without bond on various charges Thursday. The cell, tied to Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG), is believed to be behind the attempted murder of one of the country’s most famous journalists, Ciro Gomez Leyva.

This week, the Mexico City Attorney General’s Office announced that a judge formally charged members of the cell for weapons and drug distribution. The cartel-connected suspects are expected to remain in jail without bond. Authorities believe the group is tied to CJNG, which has been linked to crimes in Mexico City.

Authorities initially arrested 11 members of the group last week during raids. Cops in Michoacan arrested the actual gunman identified only as “Hector Eduardo” and then sent him to Mexico City, El Sol de Morelia reported at the time.

The police operations come after the criminal organization tried to murder Ciro Gomez Leyva. Gomez Leyva reported his attack by posting photographs of his vehicle on social media on December 15. The journalist survived because he was driving an armored vehicle.

According to Mexico City Police Chief Omar Garcia Harfuch, gunmen followed Gomez Leyva days before the attack. They ultimately executed their attempt by sending two vehicles to help a gunman riding a motorcycle.

Police to deploy 1,000 officers, block roads at Tel Aviv anti-government protest

Cops brace for clashes with counter-protesters, larger crowds than last week due to clear weather forecast, anger over coalition reaction to top court’s ruling on Shas head Deri

Police have approved plans to deploy 1,000 officers and block vehicle access to roads across Tel Aviv beginning Saturday afternoon, in anticipation of a mass anti-government protest against the planned judicial overhaul.

In an assessment Thursday, police predicted larger crowds than last week’s demonstration — which was beset by rain — will turn up this Saturday, following a clear weather forecast and a bombshell High Court ruling this week declaring Shas chief Aryeh Deri as unfit to be a government minister.

Police officials also expressed fear of clashes with right-wing counter-protesters, who have called on social media for pro-government activists to take to the streets, Channel 12 reported.

The main protest in Tel Aviv will be divided, with one organizer, the Movement for Quality Government in Israel, holding a rally at Habima Square for the second weekend in a row while other organizers will demonstrate less than a kilometer (half a mile) away at the intersection of Kaplan and Begin streets.

Police are set to begin blocking off roads around the protest sites at 4 p.m. Traffic disruptions, including public bus cancellations, are expected in areas around Habima Square, Menachem Begin Street, Arlozorov Street, Namir Road, Shaul Hamelech Boulevard, and Dubnow Street until the protests conclude Saturday night.

Smaller protests are also expected to take place in Jerusalem and Haifa and at other sites around the country. After skipping last week’s events, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid said Wednesday he would attend this weekend, alongside other members of the opposition.

National Unity party chair Benny Gantz vowed he will again be at the protest, in a video posted to social media on Friday.

“No matter what your political positions are, on Saturday night everyone will take to the streets to tell the government — yes, it is possible to reach broad agreements [to draft reforms more acceptable to the public] but we must not run over what the country’s founders wrote in the Declaration of Independence, and what we built here for 75 years,” he said.

“We march to say yes to reforms and no to vengeful measures that will dismantle Israeli resilience and democracy,” he added.

MK Gideon Sa’ar, the No. 2 in National Unity, said Friday he would also be attending the protest and called for members of his right-wing New Hope subfaction to join the rally after being absent from the last demonstration.

“We are at the peak of the struggle for the future of Israel. There is no left and right in the struggle to protect the democratic regime. This fateful struggle by the country’s citizens is for the benefit of our children’s future in this land, a struggle forced on us by a dangerous and unrestrained government,” Sa’ar wrote to party activists over the Telegram messaging app.

The Movement for Quality Government announced that two separate protest sites were planned due to an expectation that more people will attend this weekend.

Sex cult leader at Sarah Lawrence College sentenced to 60 years in prison

Larry Ray had been convicted of sex trafficking, extortion, forced labor.

Notorious Sarah Lawrence College sex cult leader Larry Ray was sentenced Friday to six decades in prison for the multitude of crimes for which he was convicted in April of last year.

Ray became internationally known after it was learned that he had run a manipulative cult-like grouping of students after moving into his daughter's on-campus apartment at the prestigious college.

Ray was convicted in April of last year of extortion, forced labor, sex trafficking and other charges connected to the sordid affair.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman at the sentencing described Ray as "evil" and his crimes "particularly horrible."

“He degraded them sexually to the point where they lost any sense of self worth,” Linman said. “He extorted them, he forced them to engage in labor, and he sex trafficked one of them all for his profit and sadistic and persevere sexual pleasure.”

AMO P-3 crews, partners seize 20 tons of narcotics

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Air and Marine Operations (AMO) worked with their federal and international partners to seize nearly 37,887 pounds of cocaine and 1,518 pounds of marijuana in international waters between November 1 and December 31, 2022, denying criminal organizations an estimated $77.3 million in proceeds.

Multiple significant seizure events involving AMO National Air Security Operations Center P-3 crews and SOUTHCOM partners occurred in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific during the reporting timeframe:

On November 10, a National Air Security Operations Center P-3 Long Range Tracker crew responded to reports of a suspect low-profile vessel in the Caribbean. The P-3 aircrew assumed tracking of the vessel and communicated with partner nation naval vessel teams who recovered nine bales of cocaine and apprehended three people before losing contact with the partially submerged vessel. Three days later, the partner nation maritime team reacquired the vessel, conducted a thorough search, and seized 6,852 pounds of cocaine.

On December 15, AMO and Joint Interagency Task Force—South partners effected seizure of 1.9 tons of cocaine. A P-3 Long Range Tracker located a low-profile vessel in the Eastern Pacific and relayed the position to Southern Command partners. An international maritime crew responded to interdict. However, the suspect vessel crew outran the partner nation team. Guatemalan maritime crew responded to pursue the vessel and successfully conducted the interdiction. The partner national team apprehended one Columbian national and two Ecuadorian nationals and seized 3,792 pounds of cocaine.

This event highlights the success of a recent transfer of 39-foot Midnight Express Interceptor Vessels from Air and Marine Operations to the Department of State for donation to Guatemala Fuerza Especial Naval (FEN) for use in counternarcotics operations in the Eastern Pacific. AMO also deployed Marine Interdiction Agents to provide follow on Integration Training in Guatemala as part of a multi-year initiative to enhance their maritime interdiction capacity. The vessels were officially transferred in early April 2021, and AMO agents conducted Integration Training in May 2021. A key reason for the transfer was to increase speed, range and capability of the FEN – a key partner in maritime counter-narcotics efforts in the Eastern Pacific.

AMO has P-3 NASO Centers located in Jacksonville, FL and Corpus Christi, TX. P-3 aircrews operate throughout North, Central and South America in defense of the borders of the United States to prevent attempts to smuggle persons or contraband and are vital in partnership with U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) detection and monitoring operations. This partnership bolsters support to U.S. and international law enforcement by sharing information and intelligence to help identify, track and disrupt suspected illicit trafficking targets.

In Fiscal Year 2022, AMO enforcement actions resulted in 967 arrests and 134,981 apprehensions of undocumented individuals, as well as the seizure or disruption of 250,616 pounds of cocaine, 1,475 pounds of fentanyl, 25,625 pounds of methamphetamine, 1,342 weapons, and $21.7 million.

President Trump Warns About China Infiltrating the US While Biden Is Caught Feloniously with Top-Secret Classified Documents at Chinese Front Organization – The Penn Biden Center

President Trump warns of China infiltrating the US while at the same time Biden is found with top secret classified documents at the Chinese front organization [the Penn Biden Center].

President Trump shared his warning on China being helped by corrupt politicians like the Bidens. He warns that we should be very concerned about China’s actions in China.

President Donald Trump says that if he retakes the White House, he will ban Chinese nationals from buying US farmland or owning telecommunications, energy, technology and medical supplies companies.

Frank Gaffney recognized this message from the President in a recent message:

This week, Donald Trump delivered a three-minute videotaped throw-down about the threat posed by the Chinese Communists’ penetration of, purchases in and influence operations against our country.

Particularly noteworthy was his warning about the CCP’s ominous involvement in our energy sector. As president, he issued an executive order aimed at halting the use of Chinese equipment in our electrical infrastructure.

At the time, some 300 of China’s high-voltage transformers were already in our “grid,” despite evidence that they can be remotely destroyed. Joe Biden suspended that order. And there are now 100 more of these electrical Trojan Horses in use here.

As a timely new documentary called “Grid Down, Power Up” narrated by Dennis Quaid makes clear, fixing this and our grid’s other, yawning vulnerabilities is – and must be – a non-partisan priority. So is defeating the CCP’s wider “unrestricted warfare” against America.

In an interview between Gaffney and former CIA Operative Sam Faddis, Faddis shared:

It’s a really serious thing…It’s a felony, it’s probably any number of felonies. We send people to prison for this, that’s without any evidence they passed it to foreign powers…When you’re done with it it goes back in a safe and it’s shut and it’s behind an alarm and it’s secure and there’s an armed guard downstairs.

So these are felonies, that’s before we get to whether or not it was passed to a foreign power

We should remember that we are talking about a man who is up to his eyeballs in evidence of being compromised by the Chinese Communists…

…In a Chinese front organization [the Penn Biden Center] we find top secret classified information brought there by a guy who has taken tens of millions of dollars from the Chinese. I think we call this espionage where I come from.

Next Faddis addresses the fact that current Secretary of State Tony Blinken oversaw the Biden Center before becoming Secretary of State:

Mayorkas, amid impeachment calls over border, tells mayors mass migration problem is global issue

Mayorkas spoke as House Republicans lay groundwork to try to impeach the Cabinet secretary

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday told U.S. mayors gathered in Washington, D.C., that immigration is a global problem that impacts cities worldwide, amid complaints about the Biden administration’s handling or record-breaking migration at the country’s southern border and has overwhelmed nearby cities.

"The challenge of migration is not unique to the United States nor to the border communities that confront it every day," Mayorkas said in a roughly 13-minute speech at the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ meeting, according to Punchbowl News.

"Around the world, there are more displaced people than at any time since World War II. Mass migration has gripped our hemisphere."

Mayorkas spoke as House Republicans lay groundwork to try to impeach the Cabinet secretary over U.S. border problems, making good on a 2022 midterm promise.

"There are 2.5 million Venezuelans now living in Colombia and 1.5 million in Peru," Mayorkas continued Thursday. "Brazil and Chile are hosting more than 350,000 Haitians. And the number of displaced Nicaraguans in Costa Rica has more than doubled in the last 12 months alone."

He also called the United States’ immigration process "a broken system in desperate need of legislative reform," Punchbowl also reports.

Car Rams Barricade Outside Sam Bankman-Fried's House

Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, has received a mountain of death threats since being released on bail in December. He's been hiding out, playing video games at his parent's Stanford home, which is heavily guarded by a private security force. The first major "security incident" was reported by his lawyers on Thursday when a car rammed a barricade outside the home.

Reuters said Christian Everdell from the New York law firm Cohen & Gresser submitted a filing in Manhattan federal court to Judge Lewis Kaplan, indicating that SBF and his parents were targeted by "actual efforts to cause them harm."

The filing said three men exited the vehicle after ramming the metal security barricade outside SBF's parent's Palo Alto home.

"Recently, the Bankman-Frieds had a security incident at their home when a black car drove into the metal barricade set up outside their home.

"Three men got out of the car. When the security guard on duty confronted them, the men said something to the effect of: 'You won't be able to keep us out.' The men got back in the car and quickly drove away before the security guard was able to see the license plate," Everdell wrote.

The lawyer said the private security force couldn't identify the people or the vehicle's license plate.

"This incident underscores the risk to the Bankman-Frieds' privacy and security," he said.

The family contracted a private security firm in late December to guard the house after the accused cryptocurrency fraudster was released on a $250 million bond. SBF will remain at his parent's California home until the trial date, which is set for Oct. 2.
