LACAG: Louisiana’s SOS Kyle Ardoin Is for the Third Time Pushing Dominion Voting Machines for the State’s Elections

In August of 2018 Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin announced that his office had executed a 95$ million contract with Dominion Voting Systems for a new electronic voting system in the state. Two months later, the State Procurement Office rescinded the Dominion contract due to “flaws” in the bidding process. ES&S, the largest US manufacturer of voting equipment in America which was also competing for the contract, had alleged that the standards contained in Ardoin’s bid request were ones that only Dominion’s system could meet. Paula Tregere, Louisiana’s chief procurement officer, ruled that it was in the “best interest of the State to rescind the award made to Dominion Voting Systems.”

Three years later Ardoin tried a second time to consummate a contract for new voting machines. On February 24, 2021, he stood before the East Baton Rouge Parish Republican Women (EBRRW) to discuss election issues. Between emphatic declarations about how “great” we are doing on elections in Louisiana, Ardoin made the following public commitments:

“What else are we asking for in the RFP (Request For Proposal)? We want to know who you do business with. We want to know if you’re doing business with a foreign country. We want to know if you have foreign ownership. We want to know who your Board of Directors is. We want to know who owns 10% or more of your company. We want to know who you are, because that’s going to determine, through an independent evaluation committee, who we do business with.”

Ardoin also promised that any RFP he recommends for approval will require any election vendor to provide “the proprietary code to their system. We require that. It is absolute.” (Emphasis mine). Finally, Ardoin committed to subject any prospective Louisiana election system to “expert testing” before recommending approval. (Emphasis mine).

Despite his public commitment to transparency on February 24, a week later, on March 3, 2021 Ardoin was forced to ditch the process a second time due to multiple complaints from competing election technology companies alleging similar irregularities in the bid process as in 2018: Ardoin’s bid was structured in a way that favored Dominion. Sen. Sharon Hewitt, Republican Chair of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, also weighed in that “history is repeating itself.” It is at least plausible that Ardoin, for the second time in three (3) years, had geared the bid process toward Dominion.

Ardoin has steadfastly denied any impropriety, and insists that the derailment of his efforts to bring new machines to Louisiana is based upon “misinformation and disinformation”, terms usually used by Leftists who are the ones actually engaged in it.

Anybody who follows politics and elections in Louisiana even peripherally knows that Louisiana voters are highly skeptical of Dominion Voting Systems. Louisiana citizens simply do not trust them and have made it clear to Ardoin that they have no confidence in Dominion’s capacity or inclination to secure the integrity of the most fundamental right we have, our vote. Yet on two separate occasions, Ardoin has been accused of structuring lucrative election system contracts in Dominion’s favor. And on both occasions, he has been publicly castigated for it and has been forced to suspend the bid process.

Now, for the third time in 5 years, Ardoin is poised to make yet another recommendation for a new voting system. What can we expect? The fact is that all electronic voting systems are vulnerable to remote manipulation and vote switching, as every reputable cyber security expert in the world has affirmed. But if voting systems in general cause suspicion among Louisiana voters, Dominion is viewed even more unfavorably.

EU parliament member rebukes Zelensky

The Ukrainian leader is “feeding his people into carnage,” MEP Mick Wallace said

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and his Western supporters are not interested in seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict with Russia, Mick Wallace, a member of the European Parliament from Ireland, said on Wednesday.

“Zelensky has been making the rounds begging for more weapons, but not one word to say about peace. How many of his own people must he conscript and feed into the carnage before he sits down to negotiations?” Wallace said during a parliamentary debate.

The MEP described Russia’s military operation as illegal and “unforgivable,” and said that the conflict has devastated Ukraine. “Also unforgivable is how willing Western leaders are to ensure this becomes a war without end,” Wallace argued.

Instead of calls for ceasefires, dialogue, and peace talks, we are deepening Western involvement in the war with no apparent concern for the repercussions.

Wallace warned that calls for Ukraine to seize Crimea would “lead to a possible breakout of nuclear war” and would only galvanize the resolve of the Russian people to defend the peninsula. Crimea, which is predominantly populated by ethnic Russians, voted to leave Ukraine and join Russia shortly after the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev.

Speaking to reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin reiterated that Washington would support Ukraine “for as long as it takes.”

Russia sent its troops to Ukraine nearly a year ago, citing the need to protect the people of Donbass and Kiev’s failure to implement the 2014-2015 Minsk agreements. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said in a recent interview that the US and its allies had “blocked” negotiations between Moscow and Kiev when they broke down prior to April 2022.

Ukrainian officials have since said that peace can only be achieved if Moscow surrenders Crimea and other former Ukrainian territories. The Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, together with Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, joined Russia after holding referendums in September. Moscow has maintained that Kiev’s demands to return the territories are a non-starter.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in late December that the Ukrainian leadership was incapable of negotiating and was dominated by “rampant Russophobes.”

US Informs Ukraine It Doesn't Have Enough Long-Range Missiles To Send

Ukraine has been urging for the US to immediately transfer Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMs), which have a range of up to 190 miles, capable of being fired from the HIMARS rocket systems, which the Ukrainians already possess.

But now the US is informing the Ukrainians that it doesn't have enough of these long range missiles even if it were willing to provide them. Citing four US officials, Politico writes that "Transferring ATACMS to the battlefield in eastern Europe would dwindle America’s stockpiles and harm the U.S. military’s readiness for a future fight, the people said."

An alternative that Ukrainian is considering seeking is to ask Washington to approve purchase of ATACMs from US allies which currently possess them, which includes Poland, Romania, Greece, Turkey, South Korea, Qatar and Bahrain.

Another main reason the US has cited in the past for not wanting to introduce ATACMs is the desire to avoid severe escalation with Russia in providing longer-range rockets.

But it looks like low Pentagon stockpiles is fast becoming the number one reason for holding back, with one US official referencing "a desire to maintain a certain level of munitions in U.S. stockpiles."

"With any package, we always consider our readiness and our own stocks while providing Ukraine what it needs on the battlefield," a senior DoD official said. "There are other ways of providing Ukraine with the capabilities it needs to strike the targets."

In prior months, as reports of a potential ATACMS transfer emerged, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that if longer range munitions are supplied, the US would become "a party to the conflict".

She stressed at the time that Russia "reserves the right to defend its territory" - given especially that longer range rockets could potentially be used to strike deep inside Russia, something that appears to have already happened on a handful of occasions with drones.

Meanwhile, a small handful of Congressional Republicans have been increasingly highlighting the issue of the US needing to prioritize its own defense readiness first, instead of handing essential advanced arms over to foreign countries while risking needless escalation with a nuclear-armed superpower.

Investigators claim Israeli group meddling in elections worldwide

‘Team Jorge’ reportedly deployed thousands of bots to shift public opinion

A secretive Israeli group allegedly manipulated more than 30 elections worldwide using hacking and state-of-the art disinformation techniques, according to an investigation conducted by an international consortium of journalists.

Several media outlets, including the Guardian, Le Monde, ZDF, Der Spiegel and El Pais looked into a team of contractors known as ‘Team Jorge’, run by Tal Hanan, a 50-year-old former Israeli secret services operative. The latter has denied any wrongdoing.

To expose the group’s alleged clandestine operations, the reporters passed themselves as prospective clients while covertly recording several hours of footage inside the meetings with the unit's members. Hanan allegedly told reporters that his services could be used by both private companies and intelligence agencies, with operations taking place in Europe and Africa, as well as in North, Central and South America.

In a video clip released by The Guardian on Wednesday, Hanan himself appears to boast that his group has completed “33 presidential-level campaigns … 27 of which were successful.” He also reportedly said that he took part in two “major projects” in the US, adding that he does not engage directly in the nation’s politics.

According to the investigation, ‘Team Jorge’ would charge their clients between €6 and €15 million ($6.4–16 million) to interfere in elections.

During the meetings, the team reportedly demonstrated their methods for swaying elections, which included cyber hacking and special operations.

The key tool in the group’s arsenal, however, appears to be a software package called Advanced Impact Media Solutions, or Aims. With its help, the group is believed to be controlling some 30,000 sophisticated bots on various social media platforms.

The team also reportedly claimed that it had planted the required information in legitimate new outlets. Against this backdrop, French BFM TV Channel suspended one of its anchors, Rachid M’Barki, after undercover journalists were reportedly told by one of ‘Team Jorge’ members that the group was behind one report broadcasted by the outlet.

M’Barki himself told Politico that he “used information that [he] received from sources” and that “they did not necessarily follow the usual editorial process.”

Michigan Democrats Rush To Pass New Gun Control Laws After Michigan State Shooting

Every time there is a shooting, Democrats rush to infringe on the rights of the law abiding citizens who didn’t do it.

The case of the shooting at Michigan State University is no different.

And because Democrats in Michigan gained more power in the 2022 midterms, they plan to use it.

The Washington Examiner reports:

Michigan Democrats move to expedite new gun laws after MSU shooting

Michigan Democrats are looking to expedite new gun control laws after the mass shooting at Michigan State University.

Democrats won the two state legislatures in the 2022 midterm elections, giving them control of the three major seats of power in the state. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) won reelection as well.

The party now has the opportunity to push through gun control legislation that has been stonewalled by hesitant Republicans. Monday’s mass shooting at Michigan State University gives them an opportunity to hurry the legislation through the legislature.

“We’re going to try to move faster. After years of not getting an inch, now we’re making real plans,” Democratic state Sen. Rosemary Bayer told Politico.

“Some of the legislation we have goes back 10 years,” she added. “We just haven’t been able to get any traction to do anything.”

She went on to give a schedule of the new legislation, but she said the party should act earlier.

“We had a schedule that we’re trying to move up even more. We were targeting right after the first week of April, that’s what we were planning for, but we want to respond quicker,” Bayer said.

All the usual suspects are calling for more gun control.

The left uses tragedy to try to take away people’s rights. It’s disgusting.

JD Vance drags leftist FCC commissioner nominee Gigi Sohn over her past extremist remarks

Republican lawmakers held President Joe Biden's leftist nominee for the Federal Communications Commission to task this week for woke, inflammatory, and censorious remarks she has made in the past, putting her ability to govern fairly or competently in question.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) scrutinized Sohn for several remarks she has made, in some cases swapping out the racial groups she saw fit to denigrate for others in order to ascertain whether they were similarly unacceptable in slightly altered contexts.

What is the background?

Biden nominated Sohn in October 2021 to fill a commissioner seat on the FCC. Owing to sustained opposition by Republicans and underwhelming support from Democrats, Sohn's nomination expired, so Biden had to re-nominate her on Jan. 4, 2022.

TheBlaze previously reported that the White House, which "continues to strongly back" Sohn, expects her to execute its so-called "digital equity" agenda.

Republicans recognize that Sohn, who has a history of criticizing conservative and right-leaning news outlets, may approach her responsibilities with a strong bias. This could prove deleterious, as the FCC is a powerful regulatory arm of the state, granted oversight over technology, telecommunications, and media.

Sohn appeared Tuesday before the Senate Commerce Committee for her third confirmation hearing, 476 days after her initial nomination.

Vance noted in his preamble that while he agreed with some of Sohn's positions, of special concern to him was her participation in "this weird racialization of American political rhetoric in the last few years."

"There's been this weird trend in certain corners of American politics to be very, very racialized and even to criticize explicit racial groups," said Vance.

The senator from Ohio then provided a number of Sohn's tweets, albeit in modified forms to highlight their partisan and identitarian nature.

"And I quote, 'President Obama is a raggedy black supremacist president and his cowardly enablers would rather kill everybody than stop killing white people,'" said Vance. "Do you think a person that said that should be appointed or confirmed to the FCC?"

When Sohn responded by suggesting more context was needed, Vance added, "I think clearly a person who said that should not be appointed to the FCC, and in fact, you retweeted the exact same thing, only with President Trump instead of President Obama, and the races reversed."

As Vance indicated, in June 2020, Sohn retweeted a post from actress Issa Rae, which read, "Your raggedy white supremacist president and his cowardly enablers would rather kill everybody than stop killing black people."

Again, Vance gauged whether the racially charged rhetoric Sohn has dealt in would be acceptable, first, if the races were changed, and second, for a prospective FCC commissioner to be on record as writing.

"'Angry black woman. Not a good look, Judge Brown Jackson,'" said Vance. "Would a person who tweeted that pejoratively be deserving of the position that you're seeking?"

Sohn recognized the rhetoric as her own, only slightly changed, and claimed it had nothing to do with the FCC role she is seeking.

GOP Reps Demand FBI Probe Biden Appointee Linked To Alleged Chinese Communist Orgs

Republican members of Congress led by Texas Rep. Lance Gooden of Texas are urging the FBI to investigate Dominic Ng, President Joe Biden’s appointee to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Ng is a current and former member of two alleged Chinese intelligence front groups, a DCNF investigation recently found.

“I request the FBI investigate and provide a report to Congress on the extent of Mr. Ng’s knowledge of sensitive information, as well as any potential violations of The Espionage Act,” the letter to the FBI states.

Republican members of Congress are calling on federal authorities to investigate an alleged Chinese Communist Party (CCP) front group member whom President Joe Biden appointed to represent U.S. business interests in Asia, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Republican Reps. Lance Gooden and Keith Self of Texas, Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Ben Cline of Virginia and Doug LaMalfa of California are urging FBI Director Christopher Wray to investigate Dominic Ng, CEO of East West Bank, after a recent DCNF investigation revealed that the banker is a current and former member of two organizations which multiple Chinese intelligence analysts have identified as front groups for a Chinese intelligence agency. Ng’s CCP ties first came under scrutiny in April 2022, when Biden appointed the banker to a one-year position representing the U.S. on the Business Advisory Council of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) just over a year after Ng had donated $100,000 to the Biden Victory Fund and $35,500 to the Democratic National Committee in 2020.

“We request the FBI investigate and provide a report to Congress on the extent of Mr. Ng’s knowledge of sensitive information, as well as any potential violations of The Espionage Act,” the letter to the FBI states.

“China has proved themselves as our greatest adversary and foreign competitor, and yet our leaders continuously jeopardize U.S. national security by allowing the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to infiltrate our third-party sector and federal government,” the letter states. “This lack of scrutiny should be promptly evaluated, and the Biden Administration should take immediate steps to ensure blunders like this will not happen again.”

“These are incredibly troubling disclosures,” Tiffany told the DCNF. “The FBI ought to be taking a very serious look at them.”

Ng, East West Bank, APEC, the White House and the FBI did not respond immediately to the DCNF’s request for comment.

German Election Do-Over Result Already in Doubt as Hundreds of Postal Ballots Discovered

The result of Berlin’s local elections which saw right-wing parties soar is now reportedly in doubt after hundreds of postal ballots turned up late in one key constituency in the city, in a development that could benefit the left.

Around 450 ballots are said to have turned up in the Lichtenberg district of Berlin, with reports indicating that the few hundred extra ballots could put the overall result of the capital city’s elections in doubt.

It is far from the first time discrepancies have arisen during an election in the German capital, with last week’s local elections only taking place due to the last poll in 2021 being deemed invalid due to the sheer number of discrepancies during the day of the vote.

Now problems are again emerging, with multiple outlets reporting that a large number of ballots have been discovered in one district in the city which when counted have the possibility of substantially changing the election result.

The votes are thought to have arrived at the counting centre very late, meaning that they were missed during the initial count, though the theory is presently speculative, with an investigation into the matter now reportedly being underway.

As things stand, the right has romped home in the poll, with both the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) making major gains in the city over the previous, ruled-invalid election which saw a left-wing victory.

However, according to a report by Die Welt, the votes that have turned up in Lichtenberg could shift the balance of power on the left side of the equation in favour of the country’s hardline progressive green party.

Under the current result, both the Greens and the centre-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) finished a distant joint second behind the CDU, with the votes in theory granting either party the possibility of winning an extra seat, and increasing their influence in the city’s legislature.

Die Welt has since reported that the SPD may have done just that, with officials from the district reportedly saying that the formerly lagging SPD has now tied the result of the formerly unrivalled CDU in the constituency, with it now being unclear what party will end up with the constituency’s seat.

Abortionist: I Cut Unborn Babies’ Cords So They Can’t Scream

Every now and then, abortionists will admit publicly to the horrifying reality of what they do to unborn babies.

On Sunday, Leah Torres, a Utah abortionist who is active on Twitter, responded with gruesome detail to someone criticizing her work.

When someone asked Torres if she hears the screams of the babies who she aborts, she replied:

“You know fetuses can’t scream, right? I transect the cord 1st so there’s really no opportunity, if they’re even far enough along to have a larynx. I won’t apologize for performing medicine. I’m also a ‘uterus ripper outer,’ if that’s how you’d like to describe hysterectomy.”

No.

You know fetuses can’t scream, right? I transect the cord 1st so there’s really no opportunity, if they’re even far enough along to have a larynx.

I won’t apologize for performing medicine. I’m also a “uterus ripper outer,” if that’s how you’d like to describe hysterectomy. https://t.co/lng0W3ta5J

The sickening reality of abortion that Torres callously exposed sparked an immediate backlash on Twitter.

David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress said Torres’s reputation as a boldly unashamed abortionist was one of the reasons why they did not do any undercover investigations in Utah.

CMP didn’t end up doing an undercover site visit of @ppacutah in part because their abortion doctors were the only ones who actually scared me. Thanks @LeahNTorres for the very honest reminder. #PPSellsBabyParts #ShutThemDown https://t.co/fxy4u9d6ww

In the undercover investigations that Daleiden and his team did pursue, they listened to abortionists talk over dinner about crushing babies’ heads, joke about babies’ eyeballs falling out and discuss pulling apart unborn babies limb by limb.

National Review editor Charles C. W. Cooke responded to Torres with a sarcastic barb about promoting herself:

“They can’t scream because I cut their throats” might need a little more workshopping. https://t.co/qujh4XhrOg

Human Coalition’s Lauren Enriquez predicted that abortionists’ work one day will rank up at the top of human rights abuses, along with Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.

One day soon, history will remember Torres and her ilk the same we remember Josef Mengele. They’re representatives and perpetrators of the greatest genocide in human history.

Yet no one – NO ONE – is beyond the mercy of God, so we continue to pray for them. https://t.co/IQGA7Thyil

African pro-life advocate Obianuju Ekeocha urged Christians to pray for the conversion of abortion activists like Torres.

While the abortion industry tries to sanitize the brutal business of slaughtering unborn babies, this abortionist comes out every now and again to reveal the intense darkness at the core of abortion. We pray that one day she will have a change of heart. pic.twitter.com/oETIlIlPQp

Abortions are brutal, gruesome procedures that kill nearly 1 million unique, living unborn babies in America every year. Recently, pro-life state lawmakers across the country have been drawing attention to the barbarity of abortion through legislation to ban dismemberment abortions.

4 Russian warplanes intercepted near Alaska by US jets

U.S. fighter jet pilots intercepted four Russian military aircraft flying near Alaska on Monday in what NORAD described as a “routine” encounter.

The Russian warplanes were operating somewhere in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone, a large swath of closely-monitored airspace off the coast of the state, according to a statement from NORAD. The aircraft never entered U.S. or Canadian sovereign airspace.

NORAD said similar Russian activity “occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat, nor is the activity seen as provocative.” This latest instance also was not related to the multiple unidentified objects shot down in North American airspace in recent days, according to the statement.

“NORAD had anticipated this Russian activity and, as a result of our planning, was prepared to intercept it,” the statement said.

An interception occurs when one aircraft moves next to another to identify it and establish communications. NORAD said that it “routinely monitors foreign aircraft movements and as necessary, escorts them from the ADIZ.”

The four Russian aircraft included SU-35 fighter jets and TU-95 BEAR-H strategic bombers, but it is unclear how many of each. They were intercepted by two F-16 fighters from NORAD, which were supported by two F-35A fighters, an E-3 Sentry with powerful radar, and two KC-135 Stratotanker refueling planes.

In 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered strategic bomber planes to make long-range patrols on a regular basis for the first time since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Since then, the average year has seen about six-to-seven interceptions of Russian military aircraft in the North American ADIZ, according to NORAD.

Two Russian bombers were intercepted in the Alaskan ADIZ in October. Prior to that, NORAD tracked Russian aircraft within air defense identification zones on Sept. 11, 2022 and encountered Russian spy planes in the Alaskan ADIZ over two days in August.

NORAD commander Gen. Glen VanHerck has said that 2020 saw “more Russian military flights off the coast of Alaska than we’ve seen in any year since the end of the Cold War,” adding: “Russia is trying to reassert on a global stage their influence and their capabilities.”

Since 2007, the most Russian military interceptions in a single year has been 15, and the fewest has been zero, according to NORAD.

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon Resigns

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced her intention to resign Wednesday, citing the “relentless” pressures of the job.

After eight years of serving as Scotland’s First Minister, Sturgeon told reporters the time had come for her to stand down. “Since the very first moment in the job, I have believed that part of serving well would be to know, almost instinctively, when the time is right to make way for someone else. And when that time came, to have the courage to do so, even if many across the country, and in my party, might feel it too soon,” she said, according to the BBC.

Sturgeon, the longest serving first minister and the first woman to hold the office, has been under scrutiny after a heated debate over Scotland’s gender laws, a battle for Scotland’s independence, and a recent stir regarding the possibility of a transgender rapist serving out a sentence in a women’s prison, the BBC reported.

While Sturgeon acknowledged the temptation to point to recent issues as a reason for her sudden and unexpected resignation, she maintained that her decision came from a “deeper and longer-term assessment,” CNN reported.

“I get up in the morning and I tell myself, and usually I convince myself, that I’ve got what it takes to keep going and keep going and keep going, but then I realize that that’s maybe not as true,” she said, according to the BBC.

“Giving absolutely everything of yourself to this job is the only way to do it,” she stated, according to CNN, adding that it was difficult to have a private life and enjoy simple things, like grabbing a coffee with friends.

Sturgeon plans to continue in her duties as first minister until a successor is elected. Sturgeon also maintained that although she is stepping down, she is not walking away from politics, voicing her intention to continue the fight for Scottish independence, BBC reported.

WHO abandons plans for crucial second phase of COVID-origins investigation

Sensitive studies in China were intended to pinpoint the source of the pandemic virus.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has quietly shelved the second phase of its much-anticipated scientific investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, citing ongoing challenges over attempts to conduct crucial studies in China, Nature has learned.

Researchers say they are disappointed that the investigation isn’t going ahead, because understanding how the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 first infected people is important for preventing future outbreaks. But without access to China, there is little that the WHO can do to advance the studies, says Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada. “Their hands are really tied.”

In January 2021, an international team of experts convened by the WHO travelled to Wuhan, China, where the virus that causes COVID-19 was first detected. Together with Chinese researchers, the team reviewed evidence on when and how the virus might have emerged, as part of phase one. The team released a report in March that year outlining four possible scenarios, the most likely being that SARS-CoV-2 spread from bats to people, possibly through an intermediate species. Phase one was designed to lay the groundwork for a second phase of in-depth studies to pin down exactly what happened in China and elsewhere.

But two years since that high-profile trip, the WHO has abandoned its phase-two plans. “There is no phase two,” Maria Van Kerkhove, an epidemiologist at the WHO in Geneva, Switzerland, told Nature. The WHO planned for work to be done in phases, she said, but “that plan has changed”. “The politics across the world of this really hampered progress on understanding the origins,” she said.

Researchers are undertaking some work to pin down a timeline of the virus’s initial spread. This includes efforts to trap bats in regions bordering China in search of viruses closely related to SARS-CoV-2; experimental studies to help narrow down which animals are susceptible to the virus and could be hosts; and testing of archived wastewater and blood samples collected around the world in late 2019 and early 2020. But researchers say that too much time has passed to gather some of the data needed to pinpoint where the virus originated.

Tense times

Many researchers aren’t surprised the WHO’s plans have been thwarted. In early 2020, members of then US president Donald Trump’s administration made unsubstantiated claims that the virus had originated in a Chinese laboratory, and US intelligence officials later said they had begun investigations. The city of Wuhan is home to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a high-security lab that works on coronaviruses. Chinese officials questioned whether the virus originated inside the country’s borders.

In the midst of simmering hostility between the two superpowers, WHO member states requested in May 2020 that the agency put together a science-led effort to identify how the pandemic started. Although China agreed to the mission, tensions were high by the time the WHO group left for Wuhan, and engagement with China quickly unravelled after the group returned.

British Jew killed in Ukraine war had ‘lifelong passion for Israel,’ served in IDF

Jonathan Shenkin, 45, killed in December while serving as paramedic in Ukrainian military; was on team of ex-soldiers who rescued US woman from West Bank in 2009, brother says

A British Jew who served in the Israel Defense Forces was killed fighting in Ukraine in December, his family said on Wednesday.

Originally from Glasgow, 45-year-old Jonathan Shenkin died in an “act of bravery” and received a “Valour in Combat” medal while serving as a paramedic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, his brother Daniel wrote on Facebook, without elaborating on the location or details of his death.

Tens of thousands of people have traveled to Ukraine to join its military’s foreign legion after Russia launched its invasion last year. The Washington Post reported last month that 1,000 to 3,000 remain active, with the bulk of recruits returning home.

Jonathan “made the ultimate sacrifice to defend values we all believe in,” the social media post read.

“Spending much of his life helping others, he was notably involved in the 2009 rescue of an American citizen held hostage in the West Bank,” Daniel wrote, apparently referencing the operation by a group of former IDF soldiers to extract an American woman married to an abusive man. She and her son were rescued from a Palestinian village, according to Hebrew-language media reports.

Shenkin had a “lifelong passion for Israel,” Daniel wrote, noting that his brother ran his own security firm, and traveled to several “hostile arenas around the world.”

“These included two tours of Iraq, UN military contracts in Afghanistan, a military medic in Oman, close protection in Somalia, security detail in Angola, amongst many more,” Daniel wrote. “He is survived by his son and daughter, to whom he was devoted.”

The United Kingdom’s Foreign Office said they were “supporting the family of a British national who died in Ukraine, and are in contact with the local authorities.”

A member of Glasgow’s Jewish community confirmed to The Times of Israel that Shenkin had served in the IDF.

The Foreign Ministry told The Times of Israel it was not aware of the soldier’s death. “Nobody has contacted us about him,” they said.

Shenkin is the eighth known British citizen to have died in Ukraine since the invasion began. The UK government has warned against traveling to Ukraine amid the ongoing war with Russia, noting a “real risk to life.

New Report Charges Major Corporations as Complicit in Israel’s Water Apartheid

In December, the Palestinian human rights organization, Al-Haq, released a report accusing major corporations of maintaining Israel’s water apartheid on Palestinians living in the occupied territories.

According to Al-Haq, businesses are instrumental in helping Israel restrict water access to Palestinians and destroy Palestinian water infrastructure. Additionally, foreign companies profit from Israel’s system of water discrimination.

Al-Haq’s paper named both Israeli and international companies as:

“Complicit in the violation of the Palestinian right to self-determination and permanent sovereignty over natural resources, as well as the war crime of pillage and inhumane acts of expropriation of natural resources amounting to the crime of apartheid.”

The report detailed the actions of Israeli water companies Mekorot and Hagihon but also included outside firms TAHAL Group International B.V., Hyundai, Caterpillar Inc., JC Bamford Excavators Ltd. (JCB), and Volvo Car Group.

International Companies Complicit in Apartheid

Generally, international companies’ involvement in Israel’s water apartheid is through demolitions of water infrastructure such as cisterns, pipelines, and wells. According to Al-Haq’s research, from 2017-August 2021, Hyundai carried out 24 demolitions of Palestinian water equipment, JCB is responsible for 16, Volvo demolished 14 structures, and Caterpillar executed seven demolitions.

Hyundai is a South Korean multinational manufacturer. Its excavators are often used in home demolitions in addition to razing water equipment. Caterpillar is an American manufacturer heavily involved in Israel’s occupation through demolitions, military agreements, and construction of the settlements and the apartheid wall. The company’s major shareholders include BlackRock, an investment company criticized for fueling climate change, State Farm’s investment group, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust.

Volvo is a Swedish multinational company with major shareholders also, including BlackRock and Norges Bank Investment Management, which is owned by the state of Norway. JCB is a British construction equipment manufacturer which helped finance ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s campaign. In return, Johnson promoted the company’s products on the campaign trail.

U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel has "full confidence" Japan will ban LGBTQ discrimination

U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday said he has "full confidence" that the Japanese government will take the necessary steps to ban discrimination against LGBTQ people.

Sexual minorities have been campaigning for the government to adopt an anti-discrimination law after an aide to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told reporters he wouldn't want to live next to LGBTQ people and that citizens would flee Japan if same-sex marriages were allowed. Kishida quickly fired the aide, Masayoshi Arai.

Activists are urging the government to enact anti-discrimination legislation before Japan hosts a summit of the Group of Seven industrialized nations in Hiroshima in May. Japan is the only G-7 member that has not recognized same-sex marriage or enacted an anti-discrimination law for sexual minorities.

"I have full confidence based on the swiftness of the prime minister's actions," Emanuel said at a news conference.

Japan's parliament "will reflect not only the will of the Japanese public, but take the steps necessary to be a clear unambiguous voice not only for tolerance, but against discrimination," he said.

Support for sexual diversity has grown slowly in Japan and legal protections are still lacking for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. They often face discrimination at school, work and at home, causing many to hide their sexual identities.

Campaigns for equal rights for sexual minorities have faced persistent and strong resistance from conservatives in Kishida's governing Liberal Democratic Party. An attempt to enact an equality awareness promotion law ahead of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics was quashed by the party.

At the same time, more than 200 local municipalities, including Tokyo, have introduced partnership certificates for same-sex couples, allowing them to rent apartments and sign documents in medical emergencies, and for inheritance. But the certificates are not legally binding and same-sex couples are often barred from visiting each other in the hospital and from accessing other services available to married couples.

Media surveys show public support for legalization of same-sex marriage has increased in recent years to more than 60%.

At a recent rally, more than 30 LGBTQ and other rights groups adopted an appeal to Kishida and heads of both houses of parliament to enact an anti-discrimination law, not the awareness promotion legislation currently being considered by the governing party.

Recent equivocal comments by Kishida were seen as indicating his reluctance to promote equal rights for sexual minorities despite a previous pledge to create an inclusive and diverse society.

Responding to a lawmaker's question in parliament, Kishida said whether to allow same-sex marriage is "an issue that must be examined extremely carefully." A decision requires a thorough examination of all of society "because the issue may change the concept of family and values as well as society," he said.

Japan signed a G-7 summit communique in June which called for "full, equal and meaningful participation of women and girls in all their diversity as well as LGBTIQ+ persons in politics, economics, education and all other spheres of society." Activists say Japan should keep that international pledge.

The Climate Scare Narrative Continues To Collapse

Hot, cold, wet, dry, sunny, clear, snow, no snow – it doesn’t matter, it’s caused by global warming, the climate alarmists tell us over and again. Their desperation is palpable, the cords that keep them tethered to reality fraying more than ever, their charade coming apart.

For more than 30 years, the crisis peddlers have carried the narrative that man’s carbon dioxide emissions are creating an existential threat. They’ve cajoled, bullied, lied, deceived, screeched and burned an immense volume of fossil fuels to get their hard-left agenda codified and executive ordered, and they have some successes to refer to. But their efforts have been, and always will be, useless.

Despite their insistence, facts tell a story that’s quite different.

First, we are now in the 101st month of a warming pause.

“​​There has been no trend in the UAH global mean lower-troposphere temperature anomalies since September 2014: eight years, five months and counting,” reports Christopher Monckton on Anthony Watts’ website, where he helpfully also posts a chart of University of Alabama-Hunstville data to show us what he means.

Going back further, to the date when the satellite measurements – the most trustworthy data we have – began, the temperature record shows only a mild warming of 0.134 degrees Celsius per decade. Hardly anything to be concerned about.

By the way, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels since 1980 have grown from 339 parts per million to 415 PPM in 2021, a 20% increase, according to federal data. Seems the global temperature rise can’t keep pace with CO2 growth.

Also countering the narrative is the true story of sea levels. We’ve been told that man-made global warming will turn coastal cities into underwater attractions as the overheating planet melts ice and snow. But the oceans are not rising. They are stable.

“​​There is no evidence whatever to support impending sea-level-rise catastrophe or the unnecessary expenditure of state or federal tax monies to solve a problem that does not exist,” say researchers Jay Lehr and Dennis Hedke.

Their conclusion is based on data from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, which has 200 measurement stations across the world. The readings, some of which go back more than 150 years, show that sea levels have been rising, but the increases are modest and show no spikes that would coincide with the emergence of fossil-fuel combustion in power plants, automobiles and countless other innovations that define modernity.

The pattern ​​”extends throughout the world, throughout times of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, and throughout periods of accelerated warming and cooling,” the authors write.

So the oceans aren’t rising, but maybe they’re boiling, as Al Gore claimed in his recent deranged rant at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland?

Of course they’re not. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, or 100 degrees Celsius, at sea level. The hottest ocean water is in the 85-to-90 degree Fahrenheit range.

Sure, Gore wasn’t being literal, he was embellishing to make a point – the same point he and all the other alarmists have been making for more than 30 years, which has never come to pass, and probably never will.

Wave Of Teens Who Developed Strange Tics From Watching TikTok Videos Are Now Recovering, According To Neurologists

Neurologists are reporting that the majority of teenagers who began experiencing strange tics after watching TikTok videos during the pandemic are recovering.

Since 2020, doctors have been treating thousands of teens for sudden, explosive tics with no known biological cause that they believe are linked to popular TikTok videos of individuals claiming to have Tourette’s syndrome. According to a recent New York Times article, the neurologists treating the new cohort of “functional disorders” say that the majority of cases have resolved on their own.

“Adolescence is a period of rapid social and emotional development,” neurologist Dr. Tamara Pringsheim told the New York Times. “They are like sponges, grabbing onto new skills to cope.”

This phenomenon, known as “TikTok tics,” is considered by medical experts to be one of the most prominent modern examples of mass psychogenic illness, a condition in which groups of people experience similar symptoms without a clear medical explanation. Similar outbreaks have occurred for centuries and can spread rapidly in small communities.

Clusters of sudden symptoms can also occur among groups, which usually reflect shared stressors among group members. In the Middle Ages, nuns in a French convent began meowing like cats due to fears of possession by the devil. Similarly, in the 2000s, hundreds of children of asylum seekers in Sweden became mute and bedridden for prolonged periods of time.

When discussing the TikTok tics, neurologists often mention Le Roy, a small town in western New York. In 2011, a cheerleader at the local high school began to experience spasms; then, her best friend started to snap her head. Within a few weeks, the tics had spread throughout the school’s social hierarchy, affecting 18 girls, one boy, and one adult woman. Although the national news media speculated about toxins or viruses contaminating Le Roy, the neurologists who treated the affected individuals knew that many had experienced trauma or serious illnesses in their families.

The TikTok tics arrived during the COVID pandemic lockdowns, a period when many teenagers were home from school, feeling anxious and isolated, and relying on social media as their primary way to communicate with others.

Teens began to emulate the TikTok creators by repeating identical words, such as “beans” and “beetroot,” and performing similar gestures like pounding their chests. TikTok videos under the hashtag #Tourettes have been viewed 7.7 billion times. As a result, pediatric movement disorder clinics saw an increase in patients, causing wait times to extend from three months to one year. Dr. Pringsheim described the influx of patients as “an avalanche.”

Neurologists call them functional tics, or functional tic-like behavior, as they appear to start out of nowhere, and “functional” in medicine refers to “no known physical cause.” Functional tics differ from Tourettes, a nervous system disorder with a known physical cause characterized by unwanted repetitive movements and sounds that usually begin in childhood. Tics can arise by imitating others with tics, similar to the phenomenon doctors describe of witnessing siblings of children with seizures develop “functional seizures.”

A new paper published earlier this month in Comprehensive Psychiatry proposed that “social contagion” through prolonged social media use can explain why some teens, mostly adolescent females, self-diagnose with rare mental illnesses and personality disorders online.

The paper proposes that social media platforms like TikTok, whose core user base are teen girls, and the popularity of online communities that glamorize mental illness, may act as a “spread vector” for adolescents to adopt various disorders as part of their online personas.

Moscow Slams Nordics for Sweeping Nord Stream Blast Under Carpet as Hersh Warns of Dire Costs for US

Last week, bombshell reporting by veteran US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh revealed that the Biden administration was directly responsible for September’s attacks against the Nord Stream network, which cut off a major Russian route for energy deliveries to Germany, and undermined Europe’s energy security.

Denmark and Sweden have failed to respond to Russian overtures to discuss the Nord Stream blasts for nearly six months now, with their behavior constituting nothing short of a “boorish” attempt to hide Washington's responsibility for the sabotage attack, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said.

“For half a year now they've been as silent as a fish on ice, and since September neither the Swedes nor the Danish have responded to official letters of our prime minister, Mikhail Mishustin, who very politely offered to appoint some kind of contact person with whom it would be possible to hold talks, since [the attack] took place in the territorial waters of their exclusive zones, and the pipelines are the property of a Russian company,” Lavrov said, speaking to reporters on Wednesday.

“If since September the head of the Russian government is waiting for a reply from the absolutely independent sovereign states in question, if our ambassadors remind the prime ministers of these countries about once a month that they've been contacted, at least tell him 'yes mister prime minister, we have received your appeal but we're busy at the moment'. But we haven't got even that. I think this is boorishness. But this boorishness masks the total failure of attempts to obscure the responsibility of the collective West, led by the United States, for this sabotage, for organizing this terrorist act,” the Russian top diplomat added.

Lavrov characterized the sabotage of Nord Stream a “final solution to the German gas issue” by its overseas partners. “Just as they are now trying to resolve the 'Russian question,' so did they want to resolve the 'German question,' so that Berlin would never try to play any kind of independent role in the foreseeable historical perspective," Lavrov said, recalling how competitively-priced and dependable Russian energy had enabled Germany to become Europe's leading economy.

“Germany was not just humiliated, but was put in its place – the place of a satellite of the United States, with Washington deciding whether the country can ensure its economic development, meet the social needs of its citizens through the use of gas coming through a pipeline which Berlin partially paid for itself.” The Biden administration doesn't seem to “give a damn about what hardship will befall many countries, including their close allies,” Lavrov emphasized.

Lavrov suggested that the modern history of Europe has shown that whenever Russia and Germany enjoy good relations and are able to cooperate economically, in logistics and even militarily, Europe enjoys calmer, more peaceful times, to the irritation of forces across the ocean or across the English Channel, who seek to command Europe's destiny.

1984-Style Blackout on Hersh Revelations

Commenting on Hersh’s bombshell reporting on the Nord Stream blasts, and the media blackout in coverage of the story except to attack or smear the veteran investigative reporter, Lavrov compared Western governments’ behavior to a “trend” straight out of a George Orwell novel in which the state keeps media firmly under control.

“Look at the reaction in the West to Hersh’s precise, fact-based revelations in connection with the explosions of Nord Stream 1 and 2,” Lavrov said. The Russian diplomat pointed out that if Moscow was to be blamed, for instance, for the disruption of an oil pipeline between Canada and the US, the media would be forced to write about it non-stop. But with Hersh’s story – grounded in facts, the reaction has been zilch.

Lavrov urged the foreign press to conduct fact-based investigations into the costs being borne by European economies after the rejection of Russian energy, and to dig more closely into the details of the revelations uncovered by Hersh.

1994 article by Chabad leader Mendel Schneerson:

"Slav, Russian, can be destroyed, but never conquered. That is why this seed is subject to liquidation, and, at first, a sharp reduction in their numbers."

"The Ukrainians would think that they are fighting against the expansionist Russia and struggling for their independence. They will think that they have finally gained their freedom, while they become fully subdued by us. The same will be thought by Russians, as though they defend their national interests to return their lands, "illegally" taken away from them, and so on."

Rus Vs. Khazar Jews (Ukraine) - An Ancient Enmity

The Khazars bought the "Jewish" franchise in the 8th Century to distinguish themselves from their Christian and Muslim neighbors.

Ashkenazi Jews (Israelis) have no connection to the ancient Hebrews. They are Khazars.The Bolshevik Revolution was revenge for the Kievan Rus destruction of the Khazar Empire in 965 AD. The Russian - Ukrainian war continues this millennia-long hate.The NWO is a rebirth of the old Khazar empire, extended to the whole planet. NATO is Khazaria in Drag (literally)

We appear headed for the third Masonic Jewish world war.

A 1994 speech by Chabad leader Mendel Schneerson suggests that the Ukraine war might be a part of a larger plan for Slavic Genocide.

However, although many Ukrainians soldiers have died, Russian reluctance to target civilians would belie this analysis. On the other hand, Russia's failure to trace the problem to Organized Jewry and Chabad, referring to NATO as "Anglo Saxons" would support it.

2020 FOOTAGE FOUND! Louisiana SOS Kyle Ardoin Brags About NASS Censorship – Thanks Fellow Federal “Partners” Helping to Censor Free Speech

Louisiana’s Secretary of State joined other Secretaries of State in a regular meeting of NASS – the National Association of Secretaries of State. In one recording, SoS Kyle Ardoin brags about NASS’s censorship enterprise and thanks his fellow partners for helping censor information they didn’t want to be shared.

Video has surfaced from an October 2020 press briefing where Louisiana Secretary of State, Kyle Ardoin, can be heard admitting to the National Association of Secretaries of State’s (NASS) partnership with federal and state authorities to censor “misinformation- disinformation.” Ardoin has had a leadership role with NASS over the past 4 years.

Depositions and discovery from the Missouri/Louisiana v. Biden lawsuit, and the ongoing release of the Twitter files, has exposed NASS as a central player in a vast and complex unconstitutional “Censorship Enterprise.”

Senior state election officials such as Ardoin, New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, have tried to redefine illegal censorship as “misinformation, disinformation, and mal-information” or MDM.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on email evidence showing Toulouse Oliver directing a subordinate to contact Twitter to take down a post concerning a power outage at a polling place.

They evidently think the American public is too stupid to realize their true intent, which is to spy on, suppress, and silence conservative voices that questioned the massive legal, behavioral, mathematical, and statistical deviations observed during the 2020 election.

It is important to note that Kyle Ardoin first became interim Secretary of State as a registered Democrat. Mr. Ardoin changed his party affiliation to Republican the day before qualifying for a special election to replace the incumbent a registered Republican who resigned.

Last week during the US House Committee on Oversight Hearing, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) showed the infographic below that exposes all many of the organizations that conspired to create the federally-funded “Censorship Enterprise.”

It should be obvious to even a casual observer that any senior officer of NASS for the past four years must have been part of the planning and implementation of these illegal activities.

While thus far the congressional hearings have focused on Twitter’s illegal conduct, it is widely suspected similar back channels exist with officials at Meta/Facebook and YouTube. If YouTube officials also use the same cloud based portal known as “Jira” or something similar, there is corroborating evidence to suggest Ardoin may have tried to silence one of Louisiana’s leading election integrity advocates, Dr. Randy Russ.

Dr. Randy Russ is part of a group in Louisiana fighting for free, fair and transparent elections. A recent presentation on Election Integrity in Houma, Louisiana, was censored by YouTube even though Dr. Russ has virtually no social media presence.

YouTube accused Dr. Russ, a retired university professor, of “bullying and intimidation.” The timing was curious, as Kyle Ardoin’s opponent for the upcoming 2023 Secretary of State race, Mr. Brandon Trosclair, also posted Dr. Russ’s presentation on his official Secretary of State campaign social media site. YouTube also censored his account.

The benefits of censoring Kyle Ardoin’s opponent for Secretary of State are self-evident.

Who is responsible for censoring Louisiana citizens?
