GA anon here Fulton (and Dekalb) county have been stolen at the very least of 2020 and 2022. Fulton largest county with approximately 300,000 more voters than Dekalb.

==Fulton County is Gradually Losing its Grip on Election Corruption

Topic: Elections==

In a few short years, Georgia has gone from being a reliably Republican political afterthought to one of the cornerstones of the American political scene. The likely 2024 Republican nominee, Donald Trump, has 235 electoral votes on the board if he holds the exact same hand that was certified in 2020, with all its fraud, and 236 if Nebraska makes its electoral votes winner-take-all. That means Trump would meet or surpass 270 electoral votes by taking Georgia and Pennsylvania, or Georgia with Arizona andWisconsin.

In short, Georgia is critical for restoring functionality, confidence, and transparency in our national system of elections. Georgia’s 2020 Presidential Election was decided by the slimmest of margins, behind only Arizona’s margin of 10,457 votes between Trump and Biden. It’s largest county, Fulton, integrated a “pipe burst” into its corruption arsenal, and the fourth largest, DeKalb, found and counted votes for days after even The New York Times had Georgia going to Trump with certainty on Election Night; had that happened in reverse in favor of Trump, the political commentariat would have been apoplectic.

Fulton County, home to most of metro Atlanta, is a typical Democrat-run mega-county, mired in crime and corruption and oppressive to the professional class that inhabits its far-flung suburban towns and cities. Recently, the City of Milton’s City Council voted unanimously to run its own municipal elections in 2023, citing substantial cost savings:

The Cities ofJohns Creek and Roswell capitalized on Milton’s move, and are also making the break from Fulton County. Georgia sources reportAlpharetta and Mountain Parkare also branching away from the county and its burdensome cost to administer its (Fulton’s) brand of third-world elections in their respective politically moderate cities.

This separation is the first step toward providing the transparency that is needed to bring about confidence in elections once again. You may be reading this thinking, “well, these changes are only for municipal elections,” but now that these cities are taking ownership of their own election administration, the window of opportunity for repairing public trust has opened widely. This opportunity of seizing back of control in Fulton County extends to the long-sought banishment of voting machines, allowable by an obscure law: GA Code § 21-2-334 (2021)

If a method of nomination or election for any candidate or office, or of voting on any question is prescribed by law, in which the use of voting machines is not possible or practicable, or in case, at any primary or election, the number of candidates seeking nomination or nominated for any office renders the use of voting machines for such office at such primary or election impracticable, or if, for any other reason, at any primary or election the use of voting machines wholly or in part is not practicable, thesuperintendent may arrangeto have the voting for such candidates or offices or for such questions conducted by paper ballots. In such cases, paper ballots shall be printed for such candidates, offices, or questions, and the primary or election shall be conducted by the poll officers, and the ballots shall be counted and return thereof made in the manner required by law for such nominations, offices, or questions, insofar as paper ballots are used.

If the focus municipalities continue this path, it is indeed earth-shaking news.Banning electronic elections equipmentis the second of the Ten Points to True Election Integrity; Georgia cities or subsequent counties abandoning voting machines would also be wise to ban electronic poll books and other complex tabulation systems that inhibit transparency in voting and tabulation, and by virtue of moving away from black-box voting, automatically adopt the third of the ten points, voting on paper ballots, with enforced voter ID.

In accordance with the law shown above, officials would also be tasked to ensure precinct-level voting operations run without a hitch, which would mandate smaller precincts (the sixth point of the ten), the counting of ballots there, and the creation of a timely counting and reporting mechanism (point nine of ten)….

This plan toseize control of local elections in Fulton County may catch on like wildfirethroughout the country, and is instrumental in restoring order to Georgia’s elections, which is a critical national task…

‘Patriotic’ civilians must leave key embattled city – top Ukrainian official

“Sane, law-abiding” people should evacuate Artyomovsk immediately, the deputy prime minister in Kiev urged

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk has warned civilians who remain in the contested frontline city of Artyomovsk to leave immediately. The official expressed surprise at the thousands of people reportedly still in the area as the battle rages.

“Frankly, I wonder what 6,000 civilians are still doing there,” Vereshchuk wrote on Facebook on Friday. “If you are a sane, law-abiding and patriotic citizen, you should evacuate immediately.”

The politician argued that by remaining in the city, civilians are risking their own lives and those of the people trying to help them, andare standing in the way of the Ukrainian troops defending the area.

Last week, the authorities in Kiev announced further restrictions on access to Artyomovsk, which is known as Bakhmut by Ukraine. Starting from Monday, only civilians with special single-day permits are allowed in, and only military-accredited journalists qualify for entry.

There has been intense fighting for several weeks for the control of the city, which is in the People’s Republic of Donetsk and forms part of the Donbass defense line prepared for years by Kiev. Russian troops have made advances, and according to reports have significantly disrupted Ukraine’s ability to resupply troops in the city.

Washington has downplayed the importance of Artyomovsk to the broader situation on the battlefield. Even if the city were to fall, “it would not have a strategic impact on the overall war,”National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said this week.

The US government has reportedlyurged Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to withdraw troopsand prepare for a future counteroffensive. However, the Washington Post reported this week that Zelensky refuses to do so because he “attaches symbolic importance” to the city and fears a setback to morale, should it be surrendered.

Moscow warns EU over seized assets

Russia will respond in kind if its funds are given to Ukraine, the Foreign Ministry said

Any Western attempts to transfer seized Russian assets to Ukraine would be “barbarism,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has claimed. If necessary,Moscow is ready to impose a tit-for-tat response, she added.

Speaking at a press briefing on Friday, Zakharova noted that EU nations had invested heavily in Russia, meaning a significant amount of European-owned assets remain in the country. Their value is larger than that of the Russian assets seized by foreign nations, the spokeswoman argued.

Zakharova insisted that Russia wants to operate within the law and would give the US and its allies “every last chance” to reconsider any plans to confiscate Russian property. However, she added that Moscow was fully prepared to defend its interests, including through the use of “equal compensatory measures.”

The remarks referred to a new EU working group, established to explore ways to make Russia fund the future reconstruction of Ukraine.

“This must be done in accordance with EU and international law, and there is currently no direct model for this,” Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said, commenting on the new group. Stockholm currently holds the rotating presidency of the EU Council.

Western nations have frozen hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of Russian sovereign reserves, as well the assets of Russians whom they consider close to the government. Moscow has branded the measures an act of robbery.

Zakharova stressed that property rights should not be subject to the whims and geopolitical needs of a handful of nations, adding that US foreign policy was often prone to wild swings. She claimed that a case in point is Venezuela, where Washington previously referred to Juan Guaido as a legitimate leader with the right to manage the nation’s wealth.

“Now Western delegations visit [Nicolas] Maduro, whom we always considered the legitimate president, as if nothing happened,”Zakharova said. “So everything they say now about Russia, their accusations, threats, and blackmail… can flip-flop in a moment. Mark my words.”

The spokeswoman warned that the international community should oppose the push for the expropriation of Russian property. Countries could otherwise find themselves on the receiving end of the “ostensibly impartial”Western-controlled financial system, Zakharova cautioned.

Russia reacts to US ‘support’ for strikes on Crimea

Washington is fueling Kiev’s ambitions to attack Moscow’s territory, embassy warns

The US has again confirmed its direct involvement in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Moscow's Embassy in Washington has claimed. The statement came after US Deputy Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland saidmilitary sites in Crimea were “legitimate targets” for Ukraine, and that her country was “supporting” strikes on them.

Nuland “has admitted that the [Biden] administration is fueling the ambitions of the Kiev regime to attack our country,” the Russian Embassy argued in a statement on Friday.

The words of the high-ranking American official were “clear confirmation of Russia’s position that the US is directly involved in the conflict” between Moscow and Kiev, it said.

The statement added that Washington is not just using rhetoric but is also taking “concrete actions” by supplying modern weapons and advising Ukrainian military leaders, and that “de facto, they plan operations together.”

Citing American and Ukrainian officials, the Washington Post reported last week that Kiev’s forces would not fire a single shot from artillery systems provided by the US without first confirming the coordinates of the target with the Americans.

“Inciting Kiev criminals to attack Crimea is the same as pushing them to attack Moscow or Vladivostok,” the embassy insisted, adding thatRussia would defend its territory in any case.

Crimea overwhelmingly voted to reunite with Russia in 2014 after a violent coup in Kiev. Ukraine still views the peninsula as part of its territory, with the US sharing that stance.

In her interview on Thursday with American think tank the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Nuland said the US believes that Kiev is “owed and due all of their territory within their international borders,”including Crimea. “Ukraine is not going to be safe unless Crimea is – at a minimum, at a minimum – demilitarized,” she asserted, adding that the Biden administration backed Kiev’s attempts to target the peninsula.

Washington’s support for attacks on Crimea is “an undisguised manifestation of the bellicose attitude of the US towards our country,” the Russian Embassy insisted.

Biden sets out views on prospects of cold war with China

US president says he makes no apologies for his order to shoot down the Chinese balloon

Washington isn’t interested in starting a cold war with China, US President Joe Biden reassured an audience in a speech on Thursday in which he also said he plans to discuss the recent balloon incident with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.

The downing of a Chinese balloon by the US Air Force earlier this month “underscores the importance of maintaining open lines of communication” between US and Chinese diplomats and military officials, Biden said during his address.

“We are not looking for a new Cold War,” the US leader said, while referring to the recent spike in tensions between Washington and Beijing as a result of the incident.

The original Cold War was a geopolitical standoff between the US and the Soviet Union that started shortly after the end of World War II and lasted until the collapse of the USSR in 1991. The two superpowers avoided an open military confrontation but actively worked to undermine each other through supporting opposing sides in regional conflicts, as well as through espionage, economic restrictions, propaganda and other means. The period was also characterized by the so-called Arms Race, and by a technology race between Washington and Moscow, in space and in other sectors.

“I expect to be speaking with President Xi, I hope we are going to get to the bottom of this, but I make no apologies for taking down that balloon,” Biden said.

He didn’t specify when exactly the conversation with the Chinese leader is going to take place.

After his address, the US president commented on the issue further to NBC News, saying: “I think the last thing that Xi wants is to fundamentally rip the relationship with the US and with me.“

The American side insists that the balloon, which was shot down over US territory on February 4, was a spying device. China has denied these claims, stating that it was a civilian craft that was blown off-course by strong winds.

The balloon incident led to the postponement of a visit to China by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and by Washington imposing sanctions against several Chinese firms and research institutes involved in the country’s balloon program.

On Wednesday, the US Senate unanimously passed two resolutions condemning Beijing’s alleged conduct. On Thursday, China’s National People’s Congress responded to the move, blaming American lawmakers for “deliberately exaggerate[ing] the ‘China threat.’” The US Senators “took advantage of the issue and fanned the flames, fully exposing their sinister intention to oppose China and contain China,” the statement by the Chinese legislature pointed out.

https://www.rt.com/news/571630-biden-us-china-balloon/

(Fake dance between China and US, I bet Bidan called Xi to get permission to shoot the barroom down. Evil creatures like him never apologize for harm and death, so no one expects it!)

Norfolk Southern Says they “Accidentally” Asked East Palestine Residents to Sign Legal Waivers as Condition of Contamination Tests

February 16, 2023 | Sundance |

When Ohio Senator JD Vance was briefing the press earlier today, he was asked about East Palestine residents being required to sign indemnity waivers, releasing Norfolk Southern Railway from legal liability, as a requirement of having their water/air tests conducted on their property.

Senator Vance said he talked to a resident about it, then reviewed the contract and confirmed the indemnity demand. Vance then immediately called Norfolk Southern Railroad officials and asked them about it. According to Vance, the response from Norfolk Southern Railway was that the liability waiver was accidentally presented. WATCH (@24:54 Prompted):

Does anyone really believe the contingency waivers were “accidentally” presented to the residents?

From Constructed Sound Stage, (The Arrogant Idiot) Joe BidenSays U.S. Military Shot Down Balloons Belonging to “private companies, recreation, and research institutions”…

February 16, 2023 | Sundance | 283 Comments

Apparently almost every media outlet buried the lead. According to analysis from combined intelligence operations of the U.S government, last week the Biden administration ordered U.S. military fighter jets to launch missiles and shoot down of what is now believed to be “balloons belonging to private companies, recreation, or research institutions.” WATCH (w/ transcript below):

We don’t yet know exactly what these three objects were. But nothing — nothing right now suggests they were related to China’s spy balloon program or that they were surveillance vehicles from other — any other country.

The intelligence community’s current assessment is that these three objects were most likelyballoons tied to private companies, recreation, or research institutionsstudying weather or conducting other scientific research.

Now, we’ll also continue to engage with China, as we have throughout the past two weeks. As I’ve said since the beginning of my administration, we seek competition, not conflict, with China. We’re not looking for a new Cold War.

ButI make no apologize — I make no apologies, and we will compete. And we’ll be res- — we’ll responsibly manage that competition so that it doesn’t veer into conflict.

Q Mr. President, why did you wait so long to address the public on this matter, Mr. President?

Q Sir, there’s been a criticism — there’s been criticism of this —

Q When are you speaking to President Xi, Mr. President?

Q Is this deal with China compromised by your family’s business relationships in China, President Biden?

THE PRESIDENT: Give me a break, man. (Laughs.) (Inaudible.)

Q Sir — Mr. President — Mr. President, there’s been criticism —

Q Did you overreact?

Q — Mr. President, there’s been criticism that this was an overreaction that was done because of political pressure —

(Cross-talk by reporters.)

THE PRESIDENT: I can’t —

Q Is your son still (inaudible) —

THE PRESIDENT: You can come to my office and ask the question when you have more polite people (inaudible).

California's Predicted Fiscal Firestorm Has Arrived

Victoria Taft

California’s fiscal wildfire is here. The flames are licking the highest levels of the state capitol in Sacramento. The flames surround the Democrat super majority-run legislature.

Democrats’ profligate spending, greed, and lack of imagination on how to run America’s most populous state have been disastrous. An investment research group says California’s “tax policy is killing the Golden Goose in the Golden State.” And that’s not the only problem.

Governor Gavin Newsom sent billions of Joe Biden’s specially printed, inflation-causing Covid money to voters for “inflation relief” before his latest election. He teed up “free” kindergarten for four-year-olds, and gave out “free” healthcare to illegal aliens. His reckless spending was the fiscal equivalent of putting on a pork chop suit and heading out to the closest dog park. Now, of course, he’ll be blaming this fiscal cliff on someone — anyone — else.

Newsom helped destroy contracting jobs and continued towaste money on the Train to Nowhere. His one-time Democrat leader in the legislature told billionaires like Elon Musk to, well, read it yourself:

Money is fungible, and many billionaires and millionaires have “moved” their wealth to other states by spending a few more days of the month in another state. Last month, Newsom, a rich kid, and Democrats balled their collective fists, howled at the moon, and declared they’d show them by going all Hotel California on people who got the heck out of the state. The plan was to “aggressively crack down” on this “extreme wealth” by vowing to continue to tax them based on their “worldwide net worth” of over $50 million in “total assets.” This is unalloyed greed. Plus, it’s just dumb economics.

The Strategas Research article predicting California’s fiscal disaster is behind a paywall but was quoted by the “Radio Free California” podcast hosted by Will Swaim of the California Policy Center and David Bahnsen, the founder of wealth management firm The Bahnsen Group.

The bad news for California starts out with “California tax revenues, a bellwether for the country, declined 42% year-over-year in January, led by a 50% decline in income tax revenues.”

And no, it’s not because of Covid. No, it’s not due to the market alone, according to the financial research company. Economists predicted a decrease in tax revenues, but nothing this dire.

Let's Talk: Idaho House of Representatives Passes a Resolution to Start Talks About "Greater Idaho"

Lincoln Brown

For some time now, a number of eastern counties in Oregon have been hard at work in an attempt to secede from their state and become a part of Idaho. And the Idaho House of Representatives is interested. On Wednesday, that body passed House Memorial 1, according to the Idaho Capitol Sun. Unlike binding legislation, a memorial is merely a statement of intent. In this case, the intent is to open talks between Idaho and Oregon about moving the border westward. The article in the Sun said that Democrat Representative Colin Nash voiced his “support” by joking that the bill be amended to include Montana.

Meanwhile, the Idaho Press reported that House Minority Leader Ilana Rubel, also of Boise, fretted that many of the counties that would join the Gem State are low-income areas with large numbers of people who depend on Medicaid and free or reduced-price lunches. That, she said, would impose a financial burden on the state.

Hmm. Who would have thought a Democrat would turn her back on the poor? But then again, we must keep Idaho a playground for the well-heeled and famous, right? Or make it that way ASAP. I am sure that Rubel is already vexed by the presence of so many commoners who vote red. Save the ranches for the rich! Keep Sun Valley exclusive! Those ski resorts aren’t going to police themselves, you know! The struggle is real!

Actually, Rubel is genuinely concerned with the potential influx of new conservatives. The Idaho Press also said that Rubel stated that as a member of the minority in Idaho, she knows what it is like to feel less represented. It appeared to be a slight nod to those in eastern Oregon who feel fed up with that state’s policies and laws.

Well, gee whiz, Representative. If you feel that way about it, why not move to Portland where you will enjoy a solid majority? I hear Portland is lovely in the spring when the arsonists, vandals, and looters come out of hibernation, the first window of the year is broken and the smell of the spray paint from fresh graffiti fills the air. The first shipments of fentanyl are arriving, and the weed is in full blossom. I understand that the morning sun looks majestic as it plays across the needles in the streets and the winds of social change gently sway the tents in the homeless encampments. And that is all before the first fire of the season is lit.

On the flip side, Barbara Ehardt of Idaho Falls who, along with Judy Boyle from Midvale, introduced the resolution, said that moving the border would add to Idaho’s land mass and access to resources. It would also push the state line further west, increasing the distance of much of the state from Oregon and its arguably insane drug laws. Ehardt also pointed out that the resolution only opens talks between Oregon and Idaho.

The group Greater Idaho has been pushing the move, and you can see a map of counties that have voted to secede, along with those who have not voted or are scheduled to do so, here. The group issued a press release that stated in part, “…we are asking Oregon Legislature leaders to give this idea a hearing in Oregon. Unlike any other bill, our Oregon bill SJM 2 [sic] is supported by the votes of 11 counties, and a poll a year ago showed that 68% of northwestern Oregonian voters want their officials to look into the idea. Eastern Oregon deserves a chance to present this proposal to Oregon state leaders.”

Despite whatever support there may be, the future of the effort does not look bright. While Idaho may decide that the concept is sound, and the people in those 11 counties may be eager to switch out their license plates, the Oregon legislature and the U.S. Congress would need to give their approval as well, which is not likely. After all, once progressives have something, they do not want to give it up. Progressives only care about themselves. And if they can make conservatives suffer? Well, that’s just an added bonus.

World Government Summit Panelist Says ‘Shock’ Needed for ‘Transformation’ of ‘International Order’

Catherine Salgado

6:09 PM on February 16, 2023

According to a panelist at the World Government Summit in the United Arab Emirates this week, the “international order” needs some reorganizing — and not in a “gradual” way, but with a “shock.” His fellow panelist agreed that global institutions, which of course have little to no accountability to the citizens of specific countries,need more power to stop crises. The unanswered question is, just what sort of “shock” do these globalists have in mind?

Three experts spoke during the Feb. 13 panel, “Key Predictions for a Changing World Order.” The World Government Summit website describes the panel: “A world transformed by climate shocks? A multipolar economic future? A democratic renaissance? In the history of global events, pandemics and wars have both been proven turning points in history. So what lies ahead? During this session, we invite leading Professor Arturo Bris, Director to build on their strategic foresight and envision the state of the future world order.”

Bris, director of IMD World Competitiveness Center, certainly has opinions on the “future world order,” and he made a somewhat vague but “shock”ing comment during the panel.

“How — how is this transition going to happen?” Bris stammered. “I mean, I agree, totally agree, that the world order, the way it is built today, doesn’t make any sense. That is, it is not in line with the economic powers like India, Brazil, or Germany, you know? That they don’t have a — they don’t have a massive role in the — in the international order.”

So what needs to happen, according to Bris? “But to me the big question is, so how we are going to go through this transformation? It has to be — it cannot be gradual,” Bris insisted, “it has to be — has to be driven by a part — by a certain shock that will happen, so now we will reconsider this entire…” Bris here broke off, leaving his startling sentence incomplete, as he was interrupted by Samir Saran, president of the Observer Research Foundation.

”No, see, if your question is that this period could be turbulent, could have violence, could have conflicts, we are already living it,” Saran exclaimed excitedly. “I think that the last five or six years… that we are going through a rather turbulent phase.” He put all the blame on COVID-19.

“We have lost a large part of humankind to the pandemic because we are all selfish, we were not willing to share, we were not willing to use the global institutions to deliver responses to different parts of the world, we have lost people,” Saran pontificated. “Now how much more bloodshed do we need to understand that the transition is upon us?”

It is ironic that Saran should say this, because of course countries’ COVID-19 protocols such as lockdowns and masking all came from the global entity the World Health Organization (WHO) — and all turned out to be a disaster. Furthermore, while it is very tragic that almost 7 million people are estimated to have died from COVID-19 (though COVID deaths havecertainly been overcounted), I would not call that such a “large part of humankind” that it necessitates an abrupt and radical “transformation” in the international order and more power for “global institutions.”

Global institutions like the WHO and the United Nations (UN) told countries to lock down and mask up, and lockdowns and maskscaused great harm to economies and citizens. And that doesn’t even take into account the COVID-19 vaccines, which are still being pushed by global entities such as the World Economic Forum, the UN, and the WHO, and which can cause very serious side effects.

So what exactly did Bris and Saran mean? And were there others at the World Government Summit who agreed with them?

Fulton County's Trump Grand Jury Probe Was a Waste of Time and Money

Chris Queen

On Thursday, a Judge in Fulton County, Ga., released portions of a grand jury’s report on its investigation into Donald Trump’s alleged attempts to interfere with the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

“The Grand Jury was impaneled to investigate a specific issue: the facts and circumstances relating directly or indirectly to possible attempts to disrupt the lawful administration of the 2020 presidential elections in the State of Georgia,” reads the report.

District Attorney Fani Willis convened the grand jury, which met for eight months and interviewed 75 witnesses, including Gov. Brian Kemp, (R-Ga.), Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani. The grand jury didn’t even bother to call Donald Trump himself as a witness.

It’s unclear whether Willis thought she had the goods on Trump and could bring him down or whether she called for a grand jury to bring attention to herself and even position herself for higher office.

It all smacks of the narrative of “the walls are closing in on Trump” that we’ve heard for years. The trouble is that the grand jury’s findings were a bit of a nothing-burger.

The grand jury had a tall order on its hands, and Willis tasked it with looking for evidence to charge a litany of crimes, including criminal solicitation to commit election fraud, making false statements to state and local governmental bodies, conspiracy, racketeering, violation of oath of office, and involvement in violence or threats related to election administration.

Instead of closing in the walls on Trump, his administration, or even Georgia Republicans, what the grand jury brought us was something like, “we think there might have been some perjury.” Not exactly a barn-burning investigation.

A grand jury and its alternates met for eight months, called dozens of witnesses, and exhausted taxpayer resources at the behest of a grandstanding district attorney. There’s no telling how much this investigation cost the taxpayers of Fulton County, but it’s painfully obvious that it was a waste of money.

Granted, the Fulton County Trump investigation wasn’t the immense dog-and-pony show that the January 6 Committee was, even though it had largely the same goal of bringing down or besmirching Donald Trump. The potential for perjury indictments also means that the Fulton County investigation may have more to show for it than the January 6 Committee — and more to offer than just putting Fani Willis’ name in the headlines.

None of that means that Fulton County taxpayers’ money was well spent, and it doesn’t relieve Willis of the responsibility to account to the citizens of Georgia’s most populous county how she spent their money. She really should explain herself.

Interesting Facts: Mayor Bottoms and Fanni Willis’s fathers were both black panthers! Also Bottoms is currently serving in the WH

Cambodia Closes State Department-Funded Propaganda Outlet, Corporate Media Cries About 'Democracy'

Ben Bartee February 16, 2023

Via The Independent:

Cambodia’s prime minister Hun Sen shut down one of the last few independent[emphasis added] media outlets in the country on Sunday with less than six months to go until a general election.

The prime minister ordered the immediate revocation of Voice Of Democracy‘s (VOD) operating licence after the outlet published an article that he claimed intentionally slandered his son.

That sounds awful!

How “independent” is Voice of Democracy?

Via Voice of Democracy’s “about page“:

VOD was created on Jan. 16, 2003 by the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) [emphasis added] as a local independent media outlet to produce radio programs and disseminate information to the public.

VOD is now run by Cambodian Center for Independent Media (CCIM), which was registered with the Interior Ministry in June 2007 to take over the management of VOD.

So the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) runs VOD. Who runs CCHR? Via its “donors” page, financial sponsors include:

U.S. Department of State

British Embassy

US AID

Open Society Institute (George Soros’ NGO)

United Nations

To summarize, the Cambodian government shut down an obvious imperialist propaganda machine financed and run by the U.S. Department of State, George Soros’ Open Society Institute, the UN, and USAID — and this is somehow, according to CNN, an attack on an “independent” media outlet.

Obviously, Democracy™ demands that the U.S. government and its globalist partners should be permitted to disseminate whatever noxious ideological smut it pleases to the people of Cambodia with no limitations.

EU member approves giving drunk drivers’ cars to Ukraine

Latvian MPs authorized the cabinet to hand over confiscated vehicles to Kiev

The Latvian parliament has allowed the government to donate vehicles seized from Latvian citizens to Ukraine. The new power will be applied by ministers to cars confiscated for traffic violations, such as driving under the influence of alcohol.

The legal change, an amendment approved in a landslide vote on Thursday, was promoted by lawmaker Raimonds Bergmanis, chairman of parliament’s Defense, Internal Affairs and Corruption Prevention Commission.

“Currently, we can utilize vehicles confiscated from drunk drivers by selling them, scrapping them or disassembling them for spare parts,”he explained, according to the parliamentary website. “But we see that in the current conditions they would be a useful support for the people of Ukraine.”

MPs gave the Latvian cabinet the right to decide on a case-by-case basis, whether a state-impounded car should be donated.
