Jim Jordan Subpoenas Former Manhattan DA Prosecutor and Hillary Clinton Lawyer Mark Pomerantz for Deposition

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed former Manhattan DA prosecutor and Hillary Clinton lawyer, Mark Pomerantz for a deposition.

Mark Pomerantz, a former senior prosecutor on the Manhattan DA’s team investigating Trump resigned in protest after District Attorney Alvin Bragg ended the investigation.

He then went on to write a book on the topic.

In the book, he claims the investigation “developed evidence convincing us that Donald Trump had committed serious crimes.”

60 minutes recently brought on Mark Pomerantz to promote his new book.

Trump slammed Mark Pomerantz in a series of Truth Social posts.

“The 60 Minutes “hit job” doesn’t say that the Financial Statements have a powerful & complete “Disclaimer Clause,” that the properties & assets are generally worth far more today than they were in the financial statement, that the most valuable asset is not even listed in the statement, that lawyer Mark Pomerantz & his law firm were Clinton’s lawyers who then went to work for the D.A. to “get Trump,” that Pomerantz & his antics make it impossible for me to be treated fairly, & NOBODY WAS HURT!” – Trump said in February.

Zelensky Says Poland Will Lead Coalition To Supply Warplanes To Ukraine

During a visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Warsaw on Wednesday - the first such since the Russian invasion began - he encouraged Poland to lead the way in building a coalition which will send warplanes to the Ukrainian military.

"Just as your (Polish) leadership proved itself in the tank coalition, I believe that it will manifest itself in the planes coalition," Zelensky said, also emphasizing that together both Poland and Ukraine can defend the whole of Europe.

"Poland, with you, shoulder to shoulder, we will establish freedom in Europe forever. Tyranny will lose in history when it loses in Ukraine," Zelensky said.

He hinted at waning enthusiasm for the Ukrainian cause among Western backers, saying further, "Because this is a battle for freedom and it is impossible to win partially."

Zelensky is pressing for Poland to grow bolder on fighter jets because it was previously successful in lobbying Western allies on sending tanks. So far, Washington has resisted sending the sought after F-16s, but has generally been supportive of Poland transferring Soviet-made MiG-29 fighters jets.

But with the example of tanks, Poland had been the first nation to pledge it would send German-made Leopard tanks for Ukraine. This added pressure on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and got the ball rolling, eventually leading to both Germany and the US approving main battle tanks.

President Biden has meanwhile ruled out sending F-16s to Ukraine "for now" - with the prevailing thinking being that it would unnecessarily escalate the conflict, leading to a direct clash between Russia and NATO.

Polish President Andrzej Duda did announce readiness to donate more MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, and also pushed the issue of NATO membership, saying that 'security guarantees' should be on the table.

Steven Tyler denies sexually assaulting a minor, claims it was consensual

Steven Tyler has denied allegations that he sexually assaulted a 16-year-old in 1973 and forced her to get an abortion.

The Aerosmith frontman recently filed a lengthy response to the claims, which were made in a December 2022 lawsuit, arguing that the plaintiff consented to their sexual relationship and that he had immunity as her legal guardian at the time, according to documents obtained by Rolling Stone.

Tyler, now 75, also asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed, citing 24 affirmative defenses denying the allegations.

At one point, Tyler even claimed plaintiff Julia Misley, formerly known as Julia Holcomb, “has not suffered any injury or damage as a result of any action by Defendant.”

In addition, he noted that “if it is determined that Plaintiff has been damaged, then any such damages were not caused by Defendant.”

Pelosi Praises McCarthy Meeting With Taiwan President

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has commended her successor Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) historic meeting with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen in California in a rare sign of support.

McCarthy introduced Tsai as a “great friend of America” as he hosted her at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley along with more than a dozen lawmakers from both parties during Wednesday’s rare high-level visit.

The meeting—the first of its kind on American soil—risked further exacerbating tensions with China, which had earlier threatened retaliation if Tsai and McCarthy or other senior U.S. figures were to meet.

Despite those threats, McCarthy vowed to speed up arms deliveries to Taiwan in the face of increasing threats from Beijing and bolster economic cooperation with the self-ruled island, particularly when it comes to trade and technology.

Pelosi, who appeared to have a strained relationship with McCarthy during her time as speaker when the Republican was a minority leader, praised her successor’s leadership following the high-profile gathering.

“Today’s meeting between President Tsai of Taiwan and Speaker McCarthy is to be commended for its leadership, its bipartisan participation, and its distinguished and historic venue,” Pelosi said in a brief statement.

Pelosi visited Taiwan in August last year despite warnings from China—which views Taiwan as part of its territory that must be united with the mainland—not to do so.

Pfizer Hit With COVID-19 Vaccine Patent Infringement Lawsuit

Pfizer used technologies developed by another company in its COVID-19 vaccine, infringing on patents, according to a new lawsuit.

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine uses lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology that was developed and patented by Arbutus Biopharma, Arbutus alleges in the new suit, filed on April 4 in U.S. court in New Jersey.

“When the world was thrust into a devastating pandemic and urgently needed LNP technologies to deliver an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine to cells in the body, the necessary LNP technologies had, fortunately, already been invented by Arbutus’s scientists years before and stood ready for use. Defendants could not have accomplished the feat of creating and manufacturing a vaccine at a speed unprecedented in the history of medicine but for their use of Plaintiffs’ existing and proven LNP technologies,” the suit states.

“Yet Defendants never paid Plaintiffs to use those technologies. And Defendants continue to knowingly use the technologies to make and sell the vaccine, amassing tens of billions of dollars in revenues. Plaintiffs have thus filed this case to obtain fair compensation for their inventions, without which the vaccine would not exist,” it added.

Arbutus is joined by Genevant Sciences, which licenses the technologies that Arbutus patented.

In a joint statement to The Epoch Times, the defendants said: “Pfizer and BioNTech are aware that Arbutus Biopharma and Genevant Sciences have filed an action for infringement with respect to certain U.S. Patents. Please understand that Pfizer and BioNTech will not comment on the companies’ legal strategy.”

Awareness, Attempt to Avoid Lawsuit

Defendants were aware of the patents, the suit asserts, pointing to how BioNTech paid in 2018 to use the lipid nanoparticle technology for cancer and liver disease treatments. Pfizer reviewed a copy of that license agreement as part of its research before reaching a contract with BioNTech on a different project, and as part of the research conducted before collaborating with BioNTech on the COVID-19 vaccine, according to Arbutus and Genevant.

The companies say they tried to avoid going to court by proposing to Pfizer and BioNTech a licensing agreement for the nanoparticle technology.

Arbutus and Genevant notified Pfizer and BioNTech in November 2020, before the vaccine was authorized by any country, that selling or offering to sell the vaccine may infringe on one or more patents and offered “offered to discuss the terms of a collaboration and/or license to further the parties’ goal of ending the COVID-19 pandemic,” according to the suit.

“The letter emphasized that Plaintiffs’ priority was for COVID-19 to be eradicated and assured that ‘we do not intend to file a case asserting patent infringement in the near future’ to ensure vaccine development efforts were in no way impacted,” the companies said.

Pfizer responded by saying it would “reach out in due course” but did not follow up, prompting Genevant to circle back six months later.

With no word coming, Arbutus and Genevant sent a fresh notification of possible patent infringement on Oct. 12, 2021, and another letter expanding the infringement claims in 2022.

THREE CONGRESSMEN INTRODUCE GOLD STANDARD BILL TO STABILIZE THE DOLLAR'S VALUE

As America faces the twin threats of inflation and bank failures, three U.S. congressmen introduced a pivotal sound money bill that would enable the Federal Reserve note “dollar” to regain stable footing for the first time in more than half a century.

Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) - joined by Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) - introduced H.R. 2435, the “Gold Standard Restoration Act,” to facilitate the repegging of the volatile Federal Reserve note to a fixed weight of gold bullion.

Upon passage of H.R. 2435, the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve are given 24 months to publicly disclose all gold holdings and gold transactions, after which time the Federal Reserve note “dollar” would be formally repegged to a fixed weight of gold at its then-market price.

Federal Reserve notes would become fully redeemable for and exchangeable with gold at the new price, with the U.S. Treasury and its gold reserves backstopping Federal Reserve Banks as guarantor.

The Israeli occupation forces have arrested 2,200 Palestinians so far this year in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem,; the majority of which were carried out during the month of Ramadan in Jerusalem.

According to the data from the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, 1,200 of those arrested were in Jerusalem, including the 440 people who were detained at dawn yesterday at the Al-Qibli Prayer Hall.

It added that occupation forces had targeted Palestinians in Jerusalem more since the Muslim holy month of Ramadan began 2 weeks ago. This has been the Israeli policy since 2021, it added.

Some of those detained have been subjected to more than 40 arrests over the course of a few years, according to the Prisoners' Club.

The detainees are released on conditions such as imposing financial fines and the payment of bail, or on the condition of house arrest and deportation, specifically from the Old City, including Al-Aqsa Mosque.

This, it added, is part of the occupation's campaign to empty the city of its Palestinian residents.

GMO’s Are Now Called Bioengineered in the USA: Why This Matters

It was an uphill struggle to get GMO labeling laws in place, and now things have become more complicated. With the new name, Bioengineered, the presence of GMO’s will be harder to identify in your food purchases. Read on to learn about the changes and how to make wise choices about the food you eat.

In the days of our great-grandparents and grandparents, there was not much concern regarding food purity and food safety, because wholesome farm-to-table was the norm – not a special event. That is, as long as the people upstream didn’t pollute the river!

Our generations have more to think about, as over 80% of processed foods in the USA contain genetically modified organisms. The concern for food purity took a twist early last year, when the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) decided to rename Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) as Bioengineered (BE) foods.

For many decades, tech companies have been developing ways to genetically modify, enhance and (in their opinion) add value to the foods we grow and eat. There is much written on the sketchy “science” that forms the basis of this program of modifying foods.

Rather than debate those points, the main issue is that the new designation of BE carries a loophole that does not include some GMO foods. Disappointingly (but not surprisingly) this new federal law falls short of fulfilling GMO labeling standards.

The new law came into effect in January 2022, without much fanfare, and most people didn’t even notice it. The law states that in order to be labeled as BE, foods must contain a detectable amount of genetically modified material. Unfortunately, there are many genetically modified foods that are untestable, and therefore are eliminated from the labeling requirement.

What Foods Fall Under The Bioengineered (BE) Umbrella?

The USDA provides a list of foods that contain genetically modified material and require the BE label:

Alfalfa

Arctic™ Apple

Canola

Corn

Cotton

Bt Eggplant

Ringspot virus-resistant Papaya

Pink Pineapple

Potato

AquAdvantage® Salmon

Soybean

Summer squash

Sugarbeet

Numerous processed foods will now include the BE label. Some of those foods are :

Sodas/soft drinks

Frozen foods (meals and single items)

Canned soups

Baked goods

Tofu made from GMO soy beans

Non-organic milk made from cows fed genetically modified soy products

Sweetened juices

Dressings made with GMO canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower

Cereals

The Decades of Evidence That Antidepressants Cause Mass Shootings

Prior to the Covid vaccinations, psychiatric medications were the mass-prescribed medication that had the worst risk-to-benefit ratio on the market. In addition to rarely providing benefits to patients, there is a wide range of severe complications that commonly result from psychiatric medications.

There are many serious issues with psychiatric medications. For brevity, this article will exclusively focus on their tendency to cause horrific violent crimes. This was known long before they entered the market by both the drug companies and the FDA. While there is a large amount of evidence for this correlation, it is the one topic that is never up for debate when a mass shooting occurs. I have a lot of flexibility to discuss highly controversial topics with my colleagues, but this topic is met with so much hostility that I can never bring it up. It is, for this reason, I am immensely grateful to have an anonymous forum I can use.
