Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls For ‘National Divorce,’ Says Red States Need To Secede

Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted Monday that the country needs a “national divorce” between red states and blue states.

“We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” Greene tweeted. “Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”

This isn’t the first time Greene has suggested splitting the United States, asking her Twitter followers in an October poll whether America should “have a national divorce.”

Of those who voted, 47.7% said “no, stay together,” while 43% said “yes, by R&D states.” Less than 10% were undecided.

Other lawmakers have made similar suggestions, with the Texas GOP floating the idea of seceding from the United States after the Supreme Court would not overturn the 2020 election.

FBI won’t pursue child porn case involving mayor’s iPad

The FBI notified the North Las Vegas Police Department Thursday that it doesn’t have enough information from the department to take action on possible child pornography on Mayor John Lee’s iPad.

The Police Department turned the closed October 2014 case over to the FBI after a Review-Journal story in May.

The newspaper reported that police launched an investigation into Lee’s iPad after he asked a detective for help removing what he believed to be child pornography, according to a police report. Lee told police the porn came in an email, but police were never able to find the email, according to the report.

Police waited 11 days to pick up the iPad. A one-day investigation found porn on the iPad, but the detective wasn’t able to determine the ages of people pictured and closed the case, according to the police report. The detective then took the iPad to an Apple Store, had it wiped, and returned it to Lee.

A copy of the device’s contents was kept and given to the FBI, according to police.

Former Police Chief Joe Chronister told the newspaper in May he wished he had asked for an outside agency’s help.

Lee’s account to the Review-Journal differed from the police report. He told the newspaper he never approached a detective.

Lee has said he did nothing wrong. He could not be reached for comment for this story.

He told the newspaper in May he doesn’t look at porn and that he had his assistant call the police because he was worried children were being harmed by the person who sent him the email.

Police Chief Alex Perez, who took over in May, asked the FBI to review the case.

The FBI declined to comment, according to FBI spokeswoman Bridget Pappas.

“Due to a lack of prosecutorial evidence, this investigation remains closed by the North Las Vegas Police Department,” the department statement said.

Unclear evidence

It’s unclear how much there was for the detective to search through when he took custody of the iPad.

The browser history was the only place on the iPad with pornography, according to the report. The detective described the suspicious site and explained that there were two other sites “not illegal nature.” The description does not make it clear if the detective was describing two other porn sites or indicating a scant browser history consisting of only three sites total.

The police report doesn’t state if the iPad appeared to have been wiped before the detective picked it up, but what the detective found doesn’t explain what caused Lee’s alarm.

The porn in the browser history the detective noted as questionable was time stamped an hour before the detective picked up the iPad — more than a week after Lee notified police.

Joseph Dooley, a retired FBI agent who previously ran Connecticut’s computer crimes task force, questioned the delay. The Review-Journal contacted Dooley in May for his take as an expert in the field.

“If you suspect you have child porn on the device, that’s like having a kilo of cocaine sitting on your coffee table,” he said.

REPORT: Gender Clinic Still Refers Thousands Of Kids For Puberty Blockers After Being Instructed To Shut Down

Doctors are still referring thousands of children for puberty blockers at Tavistock, a London gender clinic the National Health Service (NHS) ordered to shut down, according to a report Sunday.

England’s NHS ordered Tavistock, the country’s only transgender youth clinic, shut down in July after a report revealed that doctors at the clinic were ordered to unquestioningly “affirm,” children’s gender identities. The clinic will be replaced by multiple regional clinics which focus on children’s mental health concerns. A clinical nurse revealed in August that transgender activists wielded inordinate influence over the clinic’s operations.

One thousand children are still receiving treatment at the gender clinic, according to the Sunday Times, including prescriptions for puberty blockers for kids under 16-years-old. An additional 8,000 children are on the waiting list for the Gender Identity Development Service (Gids).

The clinic is reportedly still awaiting a six month notice from the NHS to close, meaning it could be remain open until August.

“There is no suggestion puberty blockers are being taken off the table even for the new services,” a source within the clinic told the outlet.

The NHS told the Daily Caller that establishing the new phase of the clinic’s operations is progressing “as quickly as possible.”

“The decision to decommission GIDS in a planned and managed way was taken following advice from the Independent Cass review which made clear that children’s gender services should be led by specialist children’s hospitals going forward,” the NHS said in a statement.

“The phase 1 providers will include a London-based hub led by a partnership between Great Ormond Street Hospital, Evelina London Children’s Hospital and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust providing the specialist mental health support, and a Northwest hub led by a partnership between Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.”

Canada's top intelligence agency: Chinese communist regime worked to help Justin Trudeau win 2021 election, calling his liberals 'the only party that the PRC can support'

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has previously noted his admiration for China's "basic dictatorship." According to Canada's top spy agency, that admiration may go both ways.

The Globe and Mail reported that secret and top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents have exposed how the genocidal Chinese regime conducted an interference operation throughout the 2021 election cycle in Canada, which saw Trudeau's Liberal Party hold onto power. Trudeau's government went on to declare martial law, freeze peaceful protesters' bank accounts, and exercise some other qualities its leader may have admired in other governments.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has accused Trudeau of ignoring the interference because it managed to benefit his scandal-plagued party.

What are the details?

According to the Globe and Mail, CSIS found that an "orchestrated machine" was operating in Canada with two aims: "to ensure that a minority Liberal government was returned in 2021, and that certain Conservative candidates identified by China were defeated."

The leadership of the Chinese Communist Party was "pressuring its consulates to create strategies to leverage politically [active] Chinese community members and associations within Canadian society," said the report.

TheBlaze previously reported that CCP agents have been conducting extralegal and clandestine policing operations in Canada to intimidate and hunt down persons wanted by Beijing. Safeguard Defenders, a European pan-Asian human rights NGO, revealed that at least three communist police stations were operating in Toronto alone. Those observed by the CSIS appear to be of a higher caliber and scope.

The CSIS documents indicated that Chinese agents were politically weaponized against conservatives and put to work making sure that Trudeau was reelected, albeit with a relatively impotent minority government.

One consular official at an unnamed Chinese diplomatic mission in Canada claimed ahead of the election that China liked "it when the parties in Parliament are fighting with each other, whereas if there is a majority, the party in power can easily implement policies that do not favour the PRC."

While the Liberal Party may have been superficially critical of China, the official suggested that Trudeau's cadre was still preferable to the Conservative Party.

To ensure Trudeau could carry on with his "sunny ways," CCP forces "employed disinformation campaigns and proxies connected to Chinese-Canadian organizations" in populous areas such as the Greater Toronto Area and Vancouver, in an effort to pit Chinese immigrant communities against Conservatives and to support the Trudeau Liberals.

When pitting immigrants against Trudeau's opposition, Chinese operatives claimed that Conservatives were too critical of China and might endeavor to follow former President Donald Trump's lead and take measures to prevent Beijing's agents from stealing intellectual property, spying, and other such international improprieties.

The consular official underscored that "the Liberal Party of Canada is becoming the only party that the PRC can support."

‘Lucrative Business’: The Child Sex Change Industry Is Exploding In The US

The child sex change industry is massive and growing, and children undergoing cross-sex treatments can bring a massive cash influx to hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and others in the medical industry.

From 2017-2019 at least 56 genital surgeries and 776 mastectomies were performed on minors as part of the gender transition process in the U.S., but even this figure is outdated and vastly underestimates the scope of the child sex change industry by excluding certain patients.

“There is no question that financial rewards play a role in the adoption of gender affirming care. Hospitals and physicians generate substantial payments from insurers or self pay patients when children enter into the transition protocols,” Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, board chair of Do No Harm and former Associate Dean for Curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Child sex changes procedures, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries, have become a rapidly-growing, multi-million-dollar industry, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.

While there is no comprehensive data set tracking the number of children undergoing cross-sex procedures, and the cost of these procedures varies widely, existing data and experts in the field have shed light on a highly profitable and quickly growing market offering largely irreversible procedures to minors. Mastectomies and breast augmentations cost about $10,000, cross-sex genital surgeries cost about $25,000, plus several thousand dollars for anesthesia and a hospital stay, and facial and other cross-sex surgeries range from $2,000 to $15,000, according to the Philadelphia Transgender Surgery Center’s (PTSC) 2019 price list; those prices have gone up in recent years, an employee told the DCNF, but the clinic has not released an updated list and wouldn’t disclose its new prices without a patient consultation.

“There is no question that financial rewards play a role in the adoption of gender affirming care,” Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, board chair of Do No Harm and former Associate Dean for Curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, told the DCNF. “Hospitals and physicians generate substantial payments from insurers or self-pay patients when children enter into the transition protocols.”

“No matter what other motives come into play, there is no way that the surgical and medical activities would be embraced by various gender clinics and hospitals if they were financially harmed by these clinical activities,” Goldfarb added.

About 300,000 children in the U.S. identify as transgender, according to the University of California Los Angeles Williams Institute, though not everyone who adopts a transgender identity seeks a medical transition. While many of these children undergo surgical procedures, particularly mastectomies, a larger portion receive puberty blockers and/or hormones, which provides a continuous stream of revenue to pharmaceutical companies and medical providers.

There are more than 100 gender clinics in the U.S. that treat children, according to Reuters, and each of these clinics would need to see at least 100 patients annually to be successful but are likely seeing as many as 300 a year, Goldfarb told the DCNF. By that estimate, there are likely at least 10,000 to 30,000 children undergoing some form of gender transition in the U.S. each year.

The overall cross-sex surgery market was valued at $1.9 billion in 2019 and is projected to rise to $5 billion by 2023, according to Grand View Research, which attributed rising market value to the increased prevalence of transgender identification and improved insurance coverage for the procedures. The rise in transgender identification has been heavily concentrated among the youth population.

The medical industry is acting on these financial incentives: Johns Hopkins Medicine has been lobbying the Maryland legislature to expand Medicaid coverage of transgender procedures to include a host of interventions typically considered cosmetic, such as Adam’s apple reduction, facial contouring and laser hair removal, according to a DCNF investigation. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a professional association, has been fighting against state legislation restricting child sex change procedures and advocating for expanded coverage of trans procedures since at least 2017.

Murdoch Propaganda Readies Australia for War with China

Anyone who’s paying attention knows the behavior of the U.S. war machine is as relevant to Australians as it is to Americans, writes Caitlin Johnstone.

In the latest escalation in Australia’s increasingly forceful campaign to manufacture consent for war with China, the Murdoch-owned Sky News Australia has aired a jaw-droppingly propagandistic hour-long special which advocates a dramatic increase in the nation’s military spending.

Australians are uniquely vulnerable to propaganda because our nation has the most concentrated media ownership in the western world, the lion’s share of it by Rupert Murdoch, who has well-documented ties to U.S. government agencies going back decades.

The propaganda campaign against China has gotten so aggressive here in recent years that I’ve repeatedly had complete strangers start babbling at me about the Chinese threat in casual conversation, completely out of the blue, within minutes of our first meeting each other.

The Sky News special is one of the most brazenly propagandistic things I have ever witnessed in any news media, with its opening minutes featuring footage of bayonet-wielding Chinese troops marching while ominous cinematic Bad Guy music plays loudly over the sound of the marching.

In its promotional clip for the special, Sky News Australia tinged all footage pertaining to China in red to show how dangerous and communist they are. These are not decisions that are made with the intention of informing the public, these are decisions that are made with the intention of administering war propaganda.

The first expert Sky News brings on to tell viewers about the Chinese menace is Mick Ryan, an Adjunct Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which is funded by military-industrial complex entities like Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, and is also directly funded by the U.S. government and its client states, including Australia and Taiwan.

Sky News of course makes no mention of this immense conflict of interest while manufacturing consent for increased military spending, calling Ryan simply a “former major general.” This is on the same level of journalistic malpractice as running an article by Colonel Sanders on the health benefits of fried chicken but calling him “Harland David Sanders, former fry cook.”

The next expert Sky News presents us with is Australian former Major General Jim “The Butcher of Fallujah” Molan, who oh-so-sadly passed away last month. I’ve written about Molan previously specifically because the Australian media love citing him in their propaganda campaign against China, last time when he was pushing the ridiculous claim that China is poised to launch an invasion of Australia.

The other experts Sky News brings in are former C.I.A. Director and U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, Taiwan’s Director of Chinese Affairs Dr Lai Chung, Japan’s ambassador to Australia Yamagami Shingo, Australian Shadow Defense Minister Andrew Hastie, and John Coyne of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, a virulent propaganda firm which is once again funded by U.S.-aligned governments and military-industrial complex war profiteers.

So it’s about as balanced and impartial a punditry lineup as you’d expect.

DA Drops Gun Enhancement Charge Against Alec Baldwin

The Santa Fe District Attorney on Monday announced it dropped the gun enhancement charge against Alec Baldwin.

Baldwin shot and killed 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins and injured 48-year-old Joel Souza on the movie set of ‘Rust’ in Santa Fe, Mexico in October 2021.

“If any one of these three people – Alec Baldwin, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed or David Halls – had done their job, Halyna Hutchins would be alive today. It’s that simple,” Andrea Reeb, the special prosecutor appointed by the DA to the case, said in a statement, according to Fox News. “The evidence clearly shows a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the ‘Rust’ film set. In New Mexico, there is no room for film sets that don’t take our state’s commitment to gun safety and public safety seriously.”

The gun enhancement charge would have carried a five-year prison sentence.

Baldwin is still facing the involuntary manslaughter charge which carries an 18-month prison sentence if convicted.

ABC News reported:

The Santa Fe District Attorney’s Office announced Monday it is dropping the gun enhancement charge — a crime that would have carried a five-year sentence if convicted — against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust” in October 2021.

Baldwin still faces a charge of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting, however, that crime would carry a lesser sentence of 18 months if convicted. The amended complaint was filed late Friday.

The charge was also dropped against armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who faces the same involuntary manslaughter charge as Baldwin.

“In order to avoid further litigious distractions by Mr. Baldwin and his attorneys, the District Attorney and the special prosecutor have removed the firearm enhancement to the involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Halyna Hutchins on the ‘Rust’ film set,” Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said in a statement. “The prosecution’s priority is securing justice, not securing billable hours for big-city attorneys.”

The decision to drop the charge was a win for Baldwin, who makes his first court appearance on Friday.

Former Santos employees among four missing after Philippines light plane crash

Two former employees of Australian gas producer Santos are among four people missing, feared dead, in the Philippines following a light plane crash not far from the crater of an active volcano.

Key points:

The plane took off from Bicol International Airport on Saturday morning

A local news agency says wreckage has been spotted on Mount Mayon, a volcano in the country's Albay province

More than 250 people are taking part in a search and rescue operation

The country's official information agency said wreckage of what appeared to be the twin-engine Cessna 340A had been spotted by aerial search crews on Mount Mayon in Albay province.

The plane took off from Bicol International Airport on Saturday morning, and had been due to land in Manila just over an hour later, but lost contact with the control tower.

Among the four on board the six-seater were Adelaide men Simon Chipperfield and Karthi Santhanam — technical consultants of geothermal energy company Energy Development Corporation (EDC), and both former employees of Santos.

LinkedIn profiles for both men list them as residing in Adelaide.

The plane's pilot was Rufino James Crisostomo Jr, and crew member Joel Martin was also on board, the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) has said.

Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said it was aware of reports that aviation authorities had lost contact with a light aircraft on Saturday.

"The Australian Embassy is in contact with local authorities and DFAT officials are providing consular assistance to the families of two Australians reported to be missing," it said.

"Our thoughts are with their families, friends and loved ones at this difficult time."

"The Trials Should Have Been Halted": Rate Of 'Serious Adverse Events' Closely Tracks Spike In Post-Vax Disabilities

Over the past 18 months, skeptics of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines and those pointing out high rates of adverse reactions have been subject to ostracism, deplatforming, and flawed 'fact checks' to shut down opinions and analysis which conflicted with official narratives.

Now, the data has begun to speak for itself, thanks to people like former Blackrock portfolio manager Ed Dowd, who has devoted the last several years to deep-dive research and analysis of pandemic-related data (in fact, he's written an excellent book on the topic). Dowd, along with partners Carlos Alegria and Yuri Nunes, launched Phinance Technologies - where, aside from traditional macroeconomic analysis, they have produced comprehensive reports on pandemic-related disabilities and excess deaths using official data.

Their latest analysis reveals that the rate of Serious Adverse Events in the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine clinical trials closely tracks a spike in disabilities reported after the vaccine rollout.

Via Phinance Technologies (emphasis ours),

In part 3 of our US disabilities analysis we observed that the rise in disability rates post 2/2021 correlates closely with the rollout of the vaccination schedule. When looking at changes in disabilities on a wider time frame (since 2008) we observe that the disability rates rose or fell from month to month but tended to be relatively stable over time. However, as shown in part 1, the change in behaviour since early 2021 is clearly an abnormal occurrence with high level of statistical significance. It happens to be highly correlated to the cumulative Covid-19 vaccine rollout, but we cannot state that the correlation is statistically meaningful as it is based on a cumulative plot with obvious autocorrelation.

In this section we provide further evidence that the most likely cause of the rise in disabilities is the Covid-19 vaccines. For that purpose, we model the expected rise in disabilities due to the vaccination rollout in the general population. We do so by using the rates of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) obtained by the safety analysis of the mRNA vaccine (Pfizer and Moderna) clinical trials, performed in the Vaccine journal paper we reviewed here, and our analysis in part five.

Biden's DOD ridiculed for claiming 'diversity' training is a 'strategic imperative'

The Biden administration's Department of Defense was torched online after the agency shared a Twitter post on Sunday claiming that its "diversity" training is a "strategic imperative."

The DOD tweeted a video from its Office for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion's annual DEI Summit, with the caption, "Diversity is a strategic imperative critical to mission readiness and accomplishment. We were on site for the 2023 inaugural @DoD_ODEI. Summit as DEIA experts led forums to advance the DEIA and DoD mission – because our people matter."

Elon Musk responded to the post by stating, "Your strategic imperative is defending the United States."

Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton added, "The Left seeks to turn our military into an enforcement arm of the 'Party.'"

Jeremy Redfern, deputy press secretary to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), replied to the DOD's tweet, "Your entire mission is to deter an attack on the US homeland, and if there is a war, to effectively and efficiently destroy the enemies of the United States. That's it."

The summit, which was launched as a part of the Pentagon's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiative, was held February 15-17.

The DOD described the event as including "distinguished presenters and renowned experts in government, higher education, business, science, and technology."

In January 2021, the Biden administration issued an executive order to support racial equity initiatives in the federal government. Last year, the DOD released a 37-page plan to push DEI.

Last week, Biden signed another executive order on "further advancing racial equity and support for underserved communities through the federal government."

"This order builds upon my previous equity-related Executive Orders by extending and strengthening equity-advancing requirements for agencies, and it positions agencies to deliver better outcomes for the American people," the White House stated.

The order stated that the secretary of defense "shall, within 30 days of the date of this order, ensure that they have in place an Agency Equity Team within their respective agencies to coordinate the implementation of equity initiatives and ensure that their respective agencies are delivering equitable outcomes for the American people."

According to Fox News Digital, the agency has spent $91,000 on diversity seminars for the Air Force Band, comprising 184 active-duty members.

Earlier this month, Republican Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana told Fox News Digital that the Pentagon's DEI initiatives peddle a "dangerous message" and teach "anti-Americanism" to service members.

"It's a travesty and it sends a dangerous message to troops and recruits about the Pentagon's priorities and values. Funding poisonous ideologies will destroy our military's readiness and cohesion," Banks stated.
