Report: FBI Is Now Flagging Online Terms “Red Pill”, “Based”, and “Chad” as Extremist Terms

The FBI on Monday released new documents that reveal common words used on the internet are being flagged by FBI agents as extremism.

The new documents were released by the FBI after the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project filed a FOIA request.

The documents are titled “Involuntary Celibate Violent Extremism” and in them, they contained a glossary of several words that the FBI claimed were used by “incel” extremists.

The terms “red pill”, “Chad”, and “based” were all considered to be extremist rhetoric.

The term red pill by definition mean “refers to a process by which a person’s perspective is dramatically transformed” and it became popular after it was used in the 1999 movie the Matrix.

‘Chad’ is internet slang for an alpha male and ‘based’ just means to stay true to yourself.

Here’s the FBI’s list:

Pope Francis’ Easter Address Overshadowed By His Appearance in Disney Documentary Discussing Sex, Porn and Transgenderism

St. Peter’s Square was beautifully decorated with colorful flowers on Easter Sunday (April 9th) to receive 86-year-old Pope Francis for his annual ‘Urbi et Orbi’ (To the City and to the World) address.

The recovering Pontiff sat in a chair on the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica facing the square, while some 100,00 people listened in the square below.

Francis seemed to be tired, his voice hoarse, about a week after he was discharged from the hospital where he was receiving treatment for bronchitis.

Associated Press reports:

“[Francis] topped the celebration with a traditional speech about troubled places in the world. Encouraging ‘trust among individuals, peoples and nations,’ Francis said Easter’s joy ‘illumines the darkness and gloom in which, all too often, our world finds itself enveloped.’

[..] ‘Help the beloved Ukrainian people on their journey towards peace, and shed the light of Easter upon the people of Russia.’

[…] ‘Comfort the wounded and all those who have lost loved ones because of the war, and grant that prisoners may return safe and sound to their families.’”

Besides also making the inevitable appeal for peace between Israelis and Palestinians, the Globalist Pope soon turned to the pet subjects of ‘care for asylum-seekers, migrants and refugees’, ‘ensuring that no man or woman may encounter discrimination’ and ‘full respect for human rights and democracy’.

What we did not hear was a denunciation of Christian persecution in Nicaragua and so many other places in our planet.

Weak as he was, Francis “made several laps through the square in the popemobile after the Mass, waving and smiling at cheering well-wishers.”

Because this Pope is all about the attention.

And that was exactly the problem in this Easter season, when his Urbi et Orbi address and other celebrations took a secondary place in the consciousness of Catholics all over the world, while we digested another chapter of his pandering to the media narrative.

Daily Mail Reports:

“Pope Francis has revealed his views on sex and described it as ‘one of the beautiful things that God has given to the human person’.

The 86-year-old pontiff made the comment in the Disney+ documentary ‘The Pope: Answers’, which sees him in a meeting with ten people in their early 20s, captured last year in Rome.

Francis was quizzed by them on a variety of topics, including LGBT rights, abortion, the porn industry, sex, and faith and sex abuse within the Catholic Church.”

The film by ultra-woke Disney has the ‘aim of talking and conveying to [Francis] the main concerns of their generation’.

While he did denounce abortion and masturbation, in keeping with his liberal tradition he had to pander to gender ideology, insisting that that LGBT people must be welcomed by the Catholic Church.

“All persons are the children of God, all persons. God does not reject anybody, God is a father. And I have no right to expel anyone from the Church.”

Fresh Missile Attack On US Base At Syria's Conoco Gas Fields

A new rocket attack has reportedly taken place against an American military base at the Conoco gas fields in eastern Syria, near the city of Deir ez-Zor on Monday.

US occupation forces have been coming under increased pressure and sporadic attacks from likely Iran-backed militant groups. It's also possible that forces linked to the Syrian government are seeking to force the Pentagon out of sovereign Syria territory.

Few details were issued in the immediate aftermath, but the fresh attack comes after the biggest flare-up in tit-for-tat attacks between "Iran-backed" fighters and the US which took place at the end of March.

Those March rocket attacks left one US contractor dead and at least six injured with that defense officials described as "traumatic brain injuries" which resulted from the blasts.

It seems that ever since China brokered a restoration of ties deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the rocket and drone assaults on US positions have intensified.

For years US forces have occupied the major oil and gas installations in Syria's east, as part of broader Washington efforts to choke the Assad government into submission. Syria and Iran have remained defiant, however, and could be seeking to impose enough of a cost on US forces so as to pressure Washington and the American public to desire a pull-out from the region.

Democrat Activist and Springsteen Guitarist Steven Van Zandt Calls for Republican Genocide: “Exterminate these Cockroaches Once and for All”: Report

Little Steven Van Zandt, E Street Band guitar player and longtime close friend of Bruce Springsteen, reportedly posted and then deleted a hate-filled rant on Twitter Sunday that called for the genocide of Republicans.

Van Zandt posted a few hours before taking the stage with Springsteen at UBS Arena in Belmont Park in Long Island, New York as part of a two-night stand there of the International Tour. Van Zandt’s call for mass murder comes as Springsteen’s tour is thematically focused on the mortality of aging rockers like himself.

A few days later Van Zandt palled around with Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD) during a D.C. stop on the Springsteen tour. Van Zandt, who covers his head to hide scars from a 1970s car crash, shared head bandana tips with the recently cancer-stricken Raskin:

Dalai Lama apologises for asking boy to suck his tongue

The Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama apologised on Monday after a video which showed him asking a boy to suck his tongue triggered a backlash on social media.

The video, which has gone viral, shows the Dalai Lama, 87, planting a kiss on the boy’s lips as he leaned in to pay his respects.

The Buddhist monk is then seen sticking his tongue out as he asked the child to suck it. “Can you suck my tongue,” he is heard asking the young boy in the video.

The video is from an event in McLeod Ganj, a suburb of Dharamshala city in northern India, on February 28.

“His Holiness wishes to apologise to the boy and his family, as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused,” said a statement posted on his verified Twitter account.

“His Holiness often teases the people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras,” it added. “He regrets the incident.”

Twitter users slammed the video, calling it “disgusting” and “absolutely sick” after it started trending on Sunday.

“Utterly shocked to see this display by the #DalaiLama. In the past too, he’s had to apologise for his sexist comments. But saying – Now suck my tongue to a small boy is disgusting,” wrote user Sangita.

Another poster, Rakhi Tripathi, said: “What did I just see? What that child must be feeling? Disgusting.”

The Dalai Lama remains the universally recognised face of the movement for Tibetan autonomy.

But the global spotlight he enjoyed after winning the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize has dimmed and the deluge of invitations to hobnob with world leaders and Hollywood stars has slowed, partly because the ageing leader has cut back on his punishing travel schedule, but also due to China’s growing economic and political clout.

Beijing accuses him of wanting to split China, and has referred to him as a “wolf in a monk’s robe”.

In 2019, the Dalai Lama apologised for saying that if his successor were to be a woman, she would have to be “attractive”.

The comments, which were criticised around the world, were made in an interview with the BBC.

Charles III at an Impasse With Church of England Over His Coronation – Wants Participation of Non-Christian Clerics in Defiance of Tradition – Globalist King Previously Accused of Secretly Being a Muslim

With four weeks to go until the ceremony of Coronation of Britain’s King Charles III, the final preparations are still in a flux, as the Globalist Monarch ‘has been at loggerheads with Church of England leaders over the role other faiths should play in his Coronation.’

Daily Mail reports:

“Church sources say the monarch has been told that his desire for a ‘diverse’ ceremony, including participation by non-Christians, risks clashing with centuries- old canon law, which bars Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and other faith leaders from reading out prayers during the service.”

Charles has long held the desire to be a ‘Defender of all Faiths’, and wants to make a statement about it on his Coronation, but Church leaders resist him, ‘given that it is an Anglican ceremony, as well as a constitutional event’.

“In a joint message last month, Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who will officiate at the ceremony, and Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell said the Coronation ‘at its centre is a Christian service… rooted in long-standing tradition and Christian symbolism’.”

After Queen Elisabeth passed, King Charles spoke about ‘the [Anglican] Church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted’, but for decades, while he ‘studied Arabic to better understand the Quran’ then-Prince Charles was rumored to have secretly converted to a Sufi Islamic lodge.

The issue came to head in the mid-nineties. Middle East Eye recounts:

“In 1996, the grand mufti of Cyprus, shockingly, accused Charles III – the new British king – of secretly being a Muslim.

‘Did you know that Prince Charles has converted to Islam? Yes, yes. He is a Muslim. I can’t say more. But it happened in Turkey. Oh, yes, he converted all right,’ the late Nazim Al-Haqqani said.

‘When you get home check on how often he travels to Turkey. You’ll find that your future king is a Muslim.’”

Needless to say, Buckingham Palace dismissed the subject as ‘nonsense’. But the deep interest and involvement of the new Monarch with Islam can’t be denied. He has spoken numerous times praising the religion he described as possessing “one of the greatest treasuries of accumulated wisdom and spiritual knowledge available to humanity.”

King Charles’ ambivalence towards Christianity comes at a tipping point in UK society. Office of National Statistics, 2021:

“For the first time in a census of England and Wales, less than half of the population (46.2%, 27.5 million people) described themselves as ‘Christian’.”

That represents a crushing 13.1 percentage point decrease in a decade. ‘No religion’ was the second most common response, and the the number of people who described themselves as ‘Muslim’ rose from 4.9% to 6.5%.

Well I'd say he's a Jew

Jacob Snowman (24 November 1871 – 28 February 1959) M.D., M.R.C.S. was a British doctor and mohel, notable for having reportedly circumcised Prince Charles (now Charles III) in December 1948, and possibly other members of the British nobility and Royal Family.

BLM Rioter Let Off With Probation Murders His Infant Son

A BLM/Antifa rioter who was let off the hook after attacking a federal courthouse has murdered his defenseless baby son.

A violent Black Lives Matter rioter with ties to Antifa who was let off with probation after he besieged a Portland, Oregon federal courthouse and threatened to shoot cops with an AR has now murdered his own infant son and has been sentenced to just 12 and a half years in prison for the homicide.

BLM/Antifa rioter Dakota K Means was convicted in federal court for his homicidal threats to law enforcement, which were made as left-wing radicals laid siege to the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon during 2020’s George Floyd riots, with militants engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the police, attacking them with weapons, and repeatedly attempting to torch the courthouse. Additionally, the radicals attacked local businesses and even the private homes of citizens living in the area.

Despite his brazen political violence, Means was let off the hook with probation, a far cry from the sentences handed out to peaceful J6 election integrity protesters, many of whom are still languishing away in federal holding facilities without trials.

Now, less than three years after being let off easy by a leftist judge, Dakota Means has been convicted of murdering his infant son in an especially brutal manner, yet he’s only received a 12-and-a-half-year sentence.

According to reporter Andy Ngo, who has frequently profiled the violent crimes of BLM/Antifa radicals in and around Portland, which are seemingly endorsed by the local government, Means’ infant son was found to have “had a fractured skull, brain bleeds & broken ribs” when his lifeless body was examined, having been murdered by his own father.

“Means was a regular at the riots in 2020,” Ngo reported in a tweet, adding that Means was “even camping out during the day in front of the Justice Center with the #Antifa crew.”

As Ngo mentioned in his tweet, Means committed arson during a July 2020 riot, footage of which is available for viewing below. Despite the documented violence of Dakota Means, he, like countless other left-wing radicals, was let off the hook by a left-wing justice system with a slap on the wrist, only to escalate his violence into the homicide of his own defenseless child.

Survivors of the Trans Panic: Detransitioner Reveals Horrors of Gender ‘Cyber-Sect’

Transgenderism is being portrayed as a progressive form of self-expression by the political, media, and business complex, but it is also damaging and marring — in many cases irreparably — the girls who come into contact with it. This series is exploring some of the cruelty experienced by people who have interacted with the “cyber-sect” of radical gender ideology, through testimony in their own words.

About 20 percent of Generation Z is likely to identify on the “LGBTQQIP2SAA” spectrum, and “LGBTQIA+” identification overall has become much more common in the United States in the past decade, according to 2022 polling by Gallup. Over five percent of Americans from 18 to 30-years-old identify as “transgender” or “nonbinary,” according a Pew Research Center survey published in June.

The number of diagnoses of “gender dysphoria” of children between the ages of 6–17 in the United States has surged over recent years, from 15,172 in 2017 to 24,847 in 2020, to 42,167 in 2021, according to data published by Reuters. In 2017, there were 1,905 children in the same age range, 6–17, undergoing hormone therapy, spiking to 4,231 in 2021.

Despite dubious data surrounding the practice of “gender-affirming care,” especially for adolescents, the United States is the “most permissive country” for child sex change operations and gender “transition” drug treatments compared with any European country, according to a study by Do No Harm. Doctors who recently spoke to Breitbart News, requesting their identities be concealed for fear of backlash, said there is a “perverse” monetary incentive structure built around pushing “transgender” drugs and surgeries on kids. The United States sex-reassignment surgery market was valued at almost two billion dollars in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11.23% until 2030, according to a market report by Grand View Research.

Missouri Attorney General Questions Department of Defense on Support of Child Transgenderism

A letter from Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to Secretary of Defense Gen. Lloyd Austin, which was exclusively obtained by Breitbart News, inquires about support for transgender medical interventions among doctors associated with the Department of Defense.

“Even as the threats to this country from foreign adversaries worsen, your department is apparently preoccupied with advancing shocking claims that pander to activist crowds,” the letter opens.

The letter highlights a recent story that revealed that doctors associated with the Department of Defense advocated for minors to receive so-called “gender-affirming care.” The physicians claimed that children as young as seven “have an inherent ability and right to consent to gender-affirming therapy.”

“These gender interventions can cause permanent sterility, worsen mental health, hamper brain development, cause blindness, and even lead to premature mortality,” Attorney General Bailey’s letter reads before going on to question, “How is a seven-year-old supposed to assess all these known side effects and consent?”

Bailey also contends that the “Pentagon officials advancing this shocking claim do nothing to advance our nation’s defensive capabilities” before going on to cite prominent national security concerns like our “proxy war with Russia” or the “increasingly bellicose government of Communist China.”

But the physicians advocating for children to undergo irreversible medical interventions are doing so “without any evidence,” Bailey charges. “Certainly the Pentagon’s radical views are not shared by other agencies,” the letter points out.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, for example, found that “there is a lack of current evidence-based guidance for the care of children who identify as transgender, particularly regarding the benefits and harms of pubertal suppression, medical affirmation with hormone therapy, and surgical affirmation.”

Bailey adds:

This recognition that there is no solid clinical evidence supporting gender-transition interventions calls into question whether anybody (much less seven-year-olds) can truly consent to these interventions if they are not informed of this absence of evidence and the serious health consequences.

BBC Complains As Twitter Brands Public Broadcaster ‘Government Funded Media’

Britain’s public broadcaster, the BBC, has complained after Twitter slapped its main account with a “government funded media” tag, joining the likes of NPR in America.

The British Broadcasting Corporation has formally “objected” to being labelled as “government funded media” on Twitter, writing to the Elon Musk-run social media giant to resolve the situation “as soon as possible” after its main account with over two million followers received the label over the weekend.

As Britain’s public broadcaster, the BBC receives most of its funding from a £159 annual television licence fee which every UK resident who watches live television is forced to pay, regardless of whether they watch the BBC or not. Should a resident fail to pay the licence fee, they face criminal fines, the non-payment of which could result in jail time.

The BBC has attempted to argue that the label is incorrect because its funding derives from the licence fee, which they claim is technically different from a government tax.

In an email to the public broadcaster, Mr Musk wrote: “We are aiming for maximum transparency and accuracy. Linking to ownership and source of funds probably makes sense. I do think media organizations should be self-aware and not falsely claim the complete absence of bias.

“All organizations have bias, some obviously much more than others. I should note that I follow BBC News on Twitter because I think it is among the least biased.”

Curiously, the Twitter tag was only applied to the main BBC account — which mostly promotes television programming — and not its affiliated accounts that actually focus on news and politics.

Although Twitter has applied the “government funded media” tag to America’s National Public Radio (NPR) — which receives some of its funding from taxpayer dollars — Twitter has yet to slap the label on other public broadcasters in Europe, such as Germany’s Deutsche Welle, Italy’s RAI, or France Télévisions, among others.

It also appears that the policy is attempting to differentiate between media organisations that receive government funding and those controlled directly by the government, including Chinese propaganda networks such as CGTN, which is currently labelled by Twitter as “China state affiliated media”.

Under the Royal Charter, the BBC is guaranteed editorial independence from the government but is mandated to report news in an impartial and unbiased manner.

Although the BBC does not appear to align politically with the current Conservative government, it has frequently been accused of holding the metropolitan-liberal bias common among elites in Westminster, having previously banned climate change sceptics from its airwaves as well as allegedly suppressing Eurosceptic views in favour of those who supported the UK remaining in the EU.

The public also widely believes that the broadcaster is biased, with a 2019 poll from Norstat finding that nearly two-thirds of Britons thought the BBC was biased. A separate poll from YouGov found that only 44 per cent had faith in journalists at the BBC to be truthful, compared to 48 per cent who did not trust their reporting.

Macron: Europe Should Reduce Reliance on U.S. Dollar, Avoid ‘Following America’ into Conflict with China

French President Emmanuel Macron has argued that Europe needs its own “strategic autonomy” from the United States, potentially including its reliance on the dollar and should avoid following America into any conflict with China over Taiwan.

On the plane ride back to Paris from a three-day state visit with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, President Emmanuel Macron once again expressed his desire for Europe to become the world’s “third superpower” and — of course — with France in the leadership position.

In an interview with the POLITICO website, Mr Macron, who is a leading proponent of the formation of a fully-fledged EU Army, emphasised the need for “strategic autonomy” for Europe from the whims of Washington. A key element of this for the French president would be ramping up the European defence infrastructure in order to reduce its reliance on American arms manufacturers.

More extraordinary, however, was Macron’s comments concerning the use of the dollar as the world reserve currency, saying that Europe should look to reduce its dependence on the “extraterritoriality of the U.S. dollar”. The comments would likely be music to the ears of those in Moscow and Beijing, both of whom have been seeking to undermine the petrodollar.

The petrodollar has been the backbone of the global economy since 1973 when U.S. President Richard Nixon made a deal with Saudi Arabia to only trade oil in U.S. dollars, a move that was quickly adopted by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

Yet, the system has come under increasing threat from the so-called BRICs alliance of emerging economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), which have actively been attempting to convince major oil suppliers and other countries to accept currency besides the dollar. Most recently, China and Brazil signed an agreement to conduct bilateral trade in their own currencies and not the dollar.

A main buffer to the collapse of the petrodollar — which could be disastrous for the American economy — has been the fact that the European Union has continued to back it and continue to conduct trades for oil in American currency. However, the bloc has made previous noises about trying to create its own euro version of the petrodollar.

Pope asks God to help ‘beloved Ukrainian people’ in Easter Sunday Mass

Pope Francis called for prayers for both the Ukrainian and Russian people as he presided over Easter Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican and delivered his semiannual message to the world.

Francis, 86, spoke on April 9 before tens of thousands of faithful gathered on the square after unseasonable cold forced him to skip the Way of the Cross outdoor procession on Good Friday — a precaution following his hospitalization for bronchitis at the end of March.

Speaking from a balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, Francis asked God to “help the beloved Ukrainian people on their journey toward peace, and shed the light of Easter upon the people of Russia.″

The pope prayed for “comfort for the wounded and those who have lost loved ones to war” and for the safe return of prisoners of war.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church also urged the international community to work to end the war and all conflicts that “stain the world with blood” in his Urbi et Orbi — Latin for “to the city and the world” — message.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the pontiff has mentioned Ukraine in almost all of his public speeches and has increasingly criticized Moscow.

Francis, who also called on Israelis and Palestinian to work toward “a climate of trust,” spoke as Orthodox Christians observed Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week. In the Eastern Orthodox Church — followed by many Christians in Russia and Ukraine — Easter is on April 16 this year.

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby also used his traditional Easter message to highlight the war in Ukraine. Welby, head of the worldwide Anglican Communion, said Easter Sunday provided hope that “true peace is no aimless daydream, but a reality offered because Christ was raised from the dead.”

Delivering a sermon in Canterbury, England, Welby said injustice and brutality “may seem to triumph in our short lives on Earth, cruel and oppressive rulers might look as though they only get stronger. Yet they will vanish. The power of the resurrection is infinitely greater than they are.”

The US Supported a Failed Ukrainian Attack on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant

Ukrainian soldiers tried to cross the Dnieper River on boats

The Times of London on Friday published a report detailing a failed Ukrainian attack on the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) that took place in October 2022.

About 600 Ukrainian special forces soldiers launched the attack from the north bank of the Dnieper River and attempted to cross the water to reach the ZNPP. As the attack was launched, HIMARS rockets provided by the US hit Russian positions on the southern bank of the river near the power plant.

When asked by The Times if the US had provided targeting data for the HIMARS before the raid, a Pentagon source said the US provided “time-sensitive” intelligence to Ukrainian special forces. “We do share information with them, but they are responsible for the selection, prioritization, and ultimate decisions to engage threats,” the source said.

The dangerous assault on the ZNPP, which is Europe’s largest power plant, failed as the bulk of the Ukrainian soldiers could not cross the river due to Russian fire. A small group of soldiers made it across and engaged in an hours-long firefight on the outskirts of Enerhodar, the town where the plant is located.

The raid took place on October 19, and Russian media at the time quoted Russian military officials who said an attack on the ZNPP was thwarted. Lt. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry, said the assault involved “37 boats and craft with Ukrainian troops to land the assault force, including 12 heavy and 25 light vessels.”

Russia accused Ukraine of attempting other similar attacks on the ZNPP. In September 2022, Russian officials said about 250 Ukrainian troops attempted to land near the plant, but it was thwarted. At the time, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) were stationed at the ZNPP.

Russian forces took the ZNPP in the early days of Russia’s invasion and have controlled it since March 2022. Rafael Grossi, the head of the IAEA, visited the plant last week and warned against attacks on nuclear facilities.

“It is very, very important that we agree on the fundamental principle that a nuclear power plant should not be attacked under any circumstances,” he said. “It shouldn’t be used to attack others, likewise. A nuclear accident with radiological consequences will spare no one.”

Chinese Load Cow's Milk with mRNA Exosomes–Successfully Immunize Mice

The nation’s food supply can be manipulated by public health agencies to influence population outcomes. A great is example is fortification of cereal grains with folic acid — the synthetic form of folate — which successfully reduced the incidence of neural tube defects (e.g. spina bifida). Now an oral route of administration is being considered specifically for COVID-19 vaccination using mRNA in cow’s milk.

Zhang and colleagues have demonstrated that a shortened mRNA code of 675 base pairs could be loaded into phospholipid packets called exosomes derived from milk and then using that same milk, be fed to mice. The mice gastrointestinal tract absorbed the exosomes and the mRNA must have made it into the blood stream and lymphatic tissue because antibodies were produced in fed mice against SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (receptor binding domain).

An oral vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 RBD mRNA-bovine milk-derived exosomes induces a neutralizing antibody response in vivo. Quan Zhang, Miao Wang, Chunle Han, Zhijun Wen, Xiaozhu Meng, Dongli Qi, Na Wang, Huanqing Du, Jianhong Wang, Lu Lu, Xiaohu Ge bioRxiv 2022.12.19.517879; doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.12.19.517879

From a scientific perspective, these experimental steps taken by the Chinese were a stunning success. However, given the damage mRNA vaccines have generated in terms of injuries, disabilities, and deaths, these data raise considerable ethical issues. The COVID States project has shown that 25% of Americans were successful in remaining unvaccinated. This group would have strong objections to mRNA in the food supply, particularly if it was done surreptitiously or with minimal labelling/warnings. Children could be targeted with easily administered oral vaccine dosing or potentially get mRNA through milk at school lunches and other unsupervised meals.

For those who have taken one of the COVID-19 vaccines, having milk vaccines as an EUA offering would allow even more loading of the body with synthetic mRNA which has been proven resistant to ribonucleases and may reside permanently in the human body.

These observations lead me to conclude that mRNA technology has just entered a whole new, much darker phase of development. Expect more research on and resistance to mRNA in our food supply. The Chinese have just taken the first of what will probably be many more dangerous steps for the world.

PM blames previous government for terror wave; reinstates Defense Minister Gallant

Netanyahu also says IDF reservists’ refusal to serve emboldened terrorists; opposition and former PM assail speech: ‘Stop whining and take responsibility’

Commenting in English to i24 News at his press conference, Netanyahu was asked about placards at right-wing rallies declaring “Fuck Biden,” in response to the US leader’s public criticism of the Israeli government’s judicial shakeup.

“I definitely condemn curse words directed against Joe Biden,” he said. “We can disagree, [and] we have. And we sometimes do, but he’s a friend, and anyway, you don’t curse the American president, whoever he is. The US is our indispensable ally.”

“That doesn’t mean that as a sovereign state, Israel, and the prime minister of Israel can’t say a short word on occasion to the United States. It’s called, ‘No.'” Sometimes there’s a three-letter word. It’s called, ‘Yes.’ But you have to have the freedom to say both and I do. I keep that freedom because I think it’s important.”

On reports of leaked US intel saying Israel could provide lethal weapons to Ukraine: “I don’t know what the basis of those reports is. We’ve decided to help them in humanitarian matters, civil defense, red alert [system] — things of that nature. [There has been] no decision about lethal weaponry… I’ll do what I can, if I can to help resolve this conflict.”

Facing dire polls and growing public anger and anxiety over the recent terror wave, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds a press conference in which he blames the previous government and the protest movement against the government of recent months for the rash of attacks.

“Our country is under a terrorist assault,” he says. But it “did not start now.”

Netanyahu claims the previous government showed weakness, emboldening Israel’s enemies.

“Under the previous government the number of terror attacks doubled,” he says. “The previous government handed over gas territory to the enemy without anything in return.”

He asserts that warnings of army reserves that they might refuse service if his government moves forward with its plans to shackle the judiciary also sent a similar message.

Netanyahu also blames opposition leader Yair Lapid, saying when the latter warns of national collapse due to the overhaul, “our enemies see this, they hear this… They believe they can take us on, with combined terror from Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.”

“But now it’s our watch, it’s our responsibility. It’s my responsibility,” Netanyahu says.

“You know me. I don’t act rashly. I act resolutely and determinedly and above all I act responsibly,” Netanyahu says. “I tell you tonight, people of Israel, we will rebuff these threats and we will defeat our enemies. We’ve done so in the past and we’ll do so again.”

“We’ll reestablish deterrence, we’ll fix the damages we inherited,” he says, and any enemies who think this is an opportunity to attack “are hugely mistaken.”

When a reporter notes that the previous government had seen 33 people killed in a year, while 19 people have died in the 100 days since Netanyahu’s government entered office, the premier says that the previous government was dependent on “the Muslim Brotherhood,” — a reference to the Islamist Ra’am party — and so “couldn’t act against terror.”

He also says Defense Minister Yoav Gallant will remain in his post, following weeks of uncertainty after the premier announced the minister’s dismissal, but did not follow through, due to massive protests.

“We had disagreements, even serious disagreements,” he says of relations with Gallant. “But I have decided to put the arguments behind us.”

Biden Admin Taps Liberal Journalism Institute To Teach Reporters How To Be ‘Balanced and Bias-Free’

Poynter Institute came under fire for releasing a "blacklist" of conservative news organizations

The Biden administration tapped a liberal journalism academy that once promoted a "blacklist" of conservative outlets to train reporters on how to create "balanced and bias-free" journalism.

The Poynter Institute held the training course with reporters as part of a contract with the U.S. Agency for Global Media, according to a federal spending database. The agency, which paid Poynter $23,500 for the course through March 31, oversees Voice of America and other government news outlets.

The agency could seemingly use the training. Republicans have accused the organization of whitewashing stories about Iran and engaging in partisan advocacy in favor of President Joe Biden.

But Poynter may not be the best choice to teach journalists the art of unbiased and balanced reporting. While the organization bills itself as "nonpartisan," it is funded largely by wealthy Democratic donors George Soros, Pierre Omidyar, Craig Newmark, Bill Gates, and Tim Gill, an LGBT activist whose husband is Biden’s ambassador to Switzerland.

In 2019, Poynter released a "blacklist" of conservative news organizations, including the Washington Free Beacon, deemed "unreliable." Poynter retracted the list, called "UnNews," after widespread criticism. Poynter’s fact-checking site, PolitiFact, often displays pro-liberal and anti-conservative bias. A Free Beacon analysis found that of PolitiFact’s fact-checks of politicians, 62 out of 86 targeted Republicans. The site has also retracted numerous fact-checks later deemed inaccurate, including one in 2020 that said the theory that the coronavirus emerged from a lab leak in Wuhan, China, was "inaccurate and ridiculous."

In September 2020, Poynter executive Kelly McBride took part in a tabletop exercise held by the liberal Aspen Institute to plot how journalists, social media executives, and others would handle the hypothetical "hack and dump" of First Son Hunter Biden’s emails. The working group advised participants to treat any release of Biden documents with skepticism and to consult with other news organizations and intelligence officials before publishing stories based on the records.

Poynter appeared to follow the advice after emails from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop appeared in October 2020, when the organization lauded news organizations for ignoring the story. "Hardly any media outlets, except for conservative ones, are giving the story any credence at all," crowed one Poynter writer. McBride, the working group participant, is chair of Poynter’s Craig Newmark Center for Ethics & Leadership. Newmark, a major Joe Biden donor, contributed $5 million to Poynter and millions more to the Aspen Institute.

US, Israel scramble to prevent peace from breaking out in the Middle East

'Peace In The Middle East? That's A Threat.'

Thanks to China's and Russia's mediation peace is breaking out in the Middle East.

Elijah J. Magnier @ejmalrai - 4:14 UTC · Apr 8, 2023

#BreakingNews:

The United Arab Emirates has begun withdrawing its forces from #Yemen. The Saudi-Emirati-Yemenite agreement will be announced soon.

The Middle East is solving its conflicts without the #US negative impact.

Elijah J. Magnier @ejmalrai · Apr 7

Great news:

#SaudiArabia will announce the end of the war in #Yemen after the Eid al-Fitr. Saudi is ending all its (high/low) conflicts in the Middle East with #Iran, #Syria, #Iraq, #Yemen & #Lebanon(not interested in the country for now) to turn towards its own development. …

Peace will also come to Syria. The foreign minister of Saudi Arabia will soon visit Damascus. He will invite Syria to rejoin the Arab League. An Arab League summit will be held next month in Saudi Arabia and the Syrian president Bashar al Assad is expected to be there.

This comes after agreements between Iran and Saudi Arabia to bury the hatchet and after agreements between Iraq and Iran to reign in a Kurdish uprising in Iran that was controlled by Kurdish forces in Iraq.

'We can't have that', says U.S. president Joe Biden. He sent CIA director Bill Burns to Saudi Arabia to threaten consequences:

CIA Director Bill Burns made an unannounced trip to Saudi Arabia this week where he reportedly aired Washington's frustrations over Riyadh's opening to Iran and Syria through mediation brokered by US rivals China and Russia.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, a US official confirmed the trip to Al-Monitor. “Director Burns traveled to Saudi Arabia where he met with intelligence counterparts and country leaders on issues of shared interest," the US official said.

The official did not disclose the exact day of the trip but said that Burns discussed intelligence cooperation, especially in the area of counterterrorism. The CIA director met the country's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

Burns likely threatened to withhold U.S. intelligence on terrorist groups from the Saudis. The CIA could additionally push some of its ISIS assets to make some nasty appearances in Saudi Arabia to then offer 'help' to 'fight terrorism'.

I do not think that this will work. The Saudis have had enough of U.S. interference in their region. They are looking for development and development requires peace.

“I Think He Was Jerking the Government Around” – Bill Barr Trashes Trump, Says ‘Good Chance’ Former President will Be Indicted For Obstruction in Classified Docs Case

Former US Attorney General Bill Barr on Sunday trashed Trump and said there is a high probability that the former president will be indicted on federal obstruction charges.

Bill Barr appeared on ABC’s “This Week” to discuss the various witch hunt probes targeting President Trump.

Barr criticized the Manhattan District Attorney’s case against Trump and said it doesn’t have any merit.

“I don’t think it has any merit. I think it is transparently an abuse of prosecutorial power to accomplish a political end,” Barr told Jon Karl of Alvin Bragg’s charges against Trump.

Bill Barr said Trump should be worried about Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.

“I’d be most concerned about the documents at Mar-a-Lago,” Bill Barr said. “I think that’s a serious potential case…. He had no claim to those documents. I think they probably have some very good evidence.”

Biden’s Justice Department has nothing on Trump so they are going to try to get him on ‘obstruction’ charges.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has “new and significant evidence” of potential Trump obstruction in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, according to a leak to The Washington Post earlier this month.

The feds seized classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago and thoroughly searched the property after the Justice Department issued Trump a subpoena in May to return so-called classified records.

According to a leak to WaPo, Jack Smith has emails and texts from a former Trump aide showing Trump may have rummaged through his boxes of classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago after he was subpoenaed in May 2022.

Bill Barr said of Trump’s classified documents lawfully stored at Mar-a-Lago, “I think he was jerking the government around and they subpoenaed it, and they tried to jawbone him into delivering the documents. But the government is investigating the extent to which games were played and there was obstruction and keeping the documents from them.”

'Gender-neutral' pronouns will be introduced in Aussie state parliament for MPs and dignitaries… even His Majesty King Charles gets a 'woke' new title

SA Parliament to adopt gender neutral terms

Even King Charles will get a new 'woke' title

Some Upper House MPs are not impressed

South Australia's parliament is doing away with 'gender-specific' terms including 'he', 'she', 'him' and 'her' and will introduce 'gender-neutral' pronouns.

The Lower House will adopt the changes as part of its standing orders with even 'His Majesty' King Charles to now be referred to as 'the sovereign'.

Instead of saying His or Her Excellency for state Governors such as Frances Adamson, she and all subsequent titleholders will be called 'the governor'.

'They', 'their' and 'them' and will replace all gendered pronouns in the rules of procedure while parliamentary committees will no longer have a 'chairman' but be presided over by 'the chair'.

The state's Labor government and the Coalition opposition jointly supported the amendments.

A spokesperson for the government led by Premier Peter Malinauskas said the change would 'modernise the parliamentary workplace'.

'With record numbers of Labor women elected to the parliament, it makes no sense for them to be called 'chairman' when overseeing a committee,' they said.

Opposition spokeswoman Michelle Lensink said the changes reflect 'community expectations' while simplifying and updating references 'in line with other jurisdictions across the country'.

The modified language comes with a raft of other measures to allow electronic attendance at committee meetings, changes to maternity leave, changes to questions on notice deadlines and removal of redundant standing orders.

Despite the changes only applying to the Lower House some of South Australia's Upper House MPs were far from impressed.

'Wokeism has even penetrated the workings of parliament,' SA-Best MLC Frank Pangallo said.
