Trudeau Foundation collapses amid Chinese donation scheme

Weeks after returning a Chinese Communist Party-backed donation, the entire Board of Directors, President, and CEO from the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation have resigned.

A statement released by the Pierre Elliot Trudeau foundation on Tuesday indicates the scandal was too much to handle for the foundation’s current brass.

“In recent weeks, the political climate surrounding a donation received by the Foundation in 2016 has put a great deal of pressure on the Foundation’s management and volunteer Board of Directors, as well as on our staff and our community,” the statement reads.

“The circumstances created by the politicization of the Foundation have made it impossible to continue with the status quo, and the volunteer Board of Directors has resigned, as has the President and CEO.”

Last month, The Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation decided to give back the Chinese Communist Party-backed donation recently discovered. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s family foundation announced it would return the money “to the donor.”

This followed Prime Minister Trudeau saying that he wasn’t involved with his family’s charity ever since he was elected in 2015, suggesting he had no idea that CCP advisor Zhang Bin donated to the Trudeau Foundation in 2016.

However, Trudeau met Zhang in 2016 at a cash-for-access Liberal Party fundraiser hosted by the Chinese Business Chamber of Canada chair Benson Wong. Trudeau was the guest of honour at the event.

Zhang donated $1 million to “honour the memory and leadership” of Trudeau’s father and former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, as reported in the Globe and Mail.

Zhang’s donation consisted of $200,000 to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, $750,000 to the University of Montreal’s faculty of law (where Pierre Trudeau graduated from and worked), as well as $50,000 towards a statue of Pierre Trudeau.

Donations to the Trudeau Foundation increased ten fold between 2014 and 2016, the two years between Trudeau first getting elected Prime Minister.

Elon Musk’s Twitter waging war on Substack and Brighteon; no links allowed

There is more trouble in social media paradise as Substack writers have learned that the corrupt social media platform known as Twitter is no longer allowing any Substack links to be liked, retweeted, or pinned.

If a Twitter user tries to embed a Substack link in a tweet, that tweet will now automatically lose its ability to be liked, retweeted, or even commented on. Furthermore, Twitter users can no longer pin a tweet to their profile that contains a Substack link.

Just one day before Twitter imposed this drastic and unexpected change, Substack introduced a new feature called Substack Notes that brings a social media-like feed with tweet-like posts to the popular independent newsletter platform – though, to be clear, Substack Notes is not a Twitter competitor because it exists solely within the newsletter platform’s ecosystem.

“We’re disappointed that Twitter has chosen to restrict writers’ ability to share their work,” said Substack founders Chris Best, Hamish McKenzie, and Jairaj Sethi in a statement provided to Mashable about the issue.

“Writers deserve the freedom to share links to Substack or anywhere else. This abrupt change is a reminder of why writers deserve a model that puts them in charge, that rewards great work with money, and that protects the free press and free speech. Their livelihoods should not be tied to platforms where they don’t own their relationship with their audience, and where the rules can change on a whim.”

Twitter also banned Brighteon links from being shared AT ALL

An even worse form of censorship exists for Brighteon links, by the way. If a Twitter user attempts to embed a Brighteon link in a tweet, that tweet will not even post at all. Instead, a pop-up message appears that says:

“We can’t complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful.”

Mind you, it does not matter which video one tries to share from Brighteon, as the entire domain name has been banned from the platform.

It is clear from all this that absolutely nothing has changed at Twitter on the First Amendment front, despite being taken over and taken private by electric vehicle (EV) nerd Elon Musk, who pretends to support things like free speech but in practice is just another billionaire grifter who craves attention.

None of this is a good look for Twitter, which is now losing popularity even with leftists simply because Musk is at the helm. This latest move to limit the spread of Substack links will only drive yet another nail in the social media platform’s inevitable coffin.

States’ Lawsuit Reveals Feds Pushed Censorship Tools to Big Tech

Disclosures brought about by Missouri and Louisiana’s tech First Amendment lawsuit against the federal government reveal that the U.S. State Department actively marketed government-funded online censorship tools to Big Tech companies.

As reported by the Federalist, an official at the State Department’s Global Engagement Center, or GEC, sent an email to the popular business networking platform LinkedIn advertising the so-called “disinfo cloud,” a GEC-funded project that sought to identify “disinformation” online.

GEC senior advisor Samaruddin Stewart first wrote to LinkedIn in February 2020, requesting a meeting, saying he had been “tasked with building relationships with technology companies,” and that he was reaching out to companies interested in “countering disinformation.”

In another email to LinkedIn employees following the meeting, Stewart advertised the GEC’s censorship tool.

“I’ll send information… about gaining access to Disinfo Cloud — which is a GEC funded platform that offers stakeholders an opportunity to discover companies, technology, and tools that can assist with identifying, understanding, and addressing disinformation,” said Stewart.

The Disinfo Cloud was advertised to firms as a “one-stop shop” for a tech company to “identify and then test tools that counter propaganda and disinformation.”

In addition to funding the Disinfo Cloud, the GEC also helped fund the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), an organization that sought to blacklist conservative media as spreaders of misinformation, financially attacking them by spreading the smear to advertisers.

This is just the latest explosive revelation brought about by the lawsuit, brought by state attorney general Jeff Landry of Louisiana, and former Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt, who is now a U.S. Senator.

The lawsuit alleges the Biden Administration infringed the First Amendment by colluding with tech companies to censor Americans, and has revealed more information about that collusion as time has gone on.

President Macron has Become a ‘Madman’ Says Senior Opposition MP

French President Emmanuel Macron is a “madman”, a senior figure within the French parliament has declared.

Boris Vallaud, who leads the Socialist Party within the French parliament, has described Emmanuel Macron as being a “madman” in an interview.

The denunciation is one of many others levelled at the French President in recent days, with the head of state angering allies and enemies alike with his aggressive push to pass reforms at, seemingly, any cost.

According to a report in Le Figaro, Vallaud lashed out at Macron’s continued bullheaded support for his pension reform system, something that is overwhelmingly unpopular in the country.

“I do not accept that Emmanuel Macron has a mandate to apply this reform,” the Socialist leader said.

He meanwhile described Macron as seemingly becoming ever more “entrenched” in the Elysée palace as opposition to him mounts, attacking the “obstinancy” of the President — who he now considers a “madman” — who has opted to lash out at the general public for opposing him rather than listen to their perspectives.

“Humiliation is a form of government method with Emmanuel Macron,” Vallaud said, adding that France was now in a “democratic crisis” thanks to Macron.

In response to the French President’s forcing through of his extremely unpopular pension reforms, the senior Socialist said that his party was now planning on tabling a new bill in the country’s parliament aimed at reversing the forcibly implemented changes.

“It would be a way to give voice to the French who demand a form of continuous democracy,” he said, referencing the fact that the parliament was not given an opportunity to vote on the reforms the first time around due to the French government abusing a constitutional loophole.

Such a bill is likely not at the forefront of Macron’s mind right now though, with the French President having seemingly moved on to antagonising the United States over issues in China.

Learn more about former CIA agent Renee DiResta, leader of the U.S. government’s censorship industry

Ever since Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, the powers that be have been whining and complaining about the need for more censorship to stop “foreign election influence” and “disinformation.” Well, it turns out that the government itself is the worst election influencer there is.

Since December, a growing number of journalists, analysts, and researchers has been documenting what is now being referred to as the “Censorship Industrial Complex.” This vast network of United States government agencies and other assets is coordinating to stamp out the First Amendment and turn the country into a totalitarian dictatorship, complete with its own Ministry of Truth.

At the head of this Censorship Industrial Complex is a former CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) agent by the name of Renee DiResta who, thanks to the Twitter Files, is being exposed as enemy number-one in the fight to preserve free speech in America.

The research manager at the Stanford Internet Observatory, DiResta is leading the charge, both in the public and private sectors, to censor just about everything online that the deep state wants to see go away. And yet she is branded by the corporate-controlled media as one of the good guys.

America: Your “government” is working against you every single day

DiResta’s main argument is that, without more censorship, the U.S. will lose the “information war” with Russia and other “enemy” nations. This argument of hers is constantly plastered throughout the media machine to continually remind Americans of the “need” to eliminate the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Back in 2018, DiResta testified before the Senate in support for “legislation that defines and criminalizes foreign propaganda,” as well as allows law enforcement to “prosecute foreign propaganda.”

“DiResta, as much as any other public person in the Western world, has sounded the alarm, repeatedly and loudly, for stronger governmental and non-governmental coordination to get social media platforms to censor more information,” reported the Public Substack.

“‘The Russian disinformation operations that affected the 2016 United States presidential election are by no means over,’ wrote DiResta in the New York Times in December 2018. ‘Russian interference through social media is a chronic, widespread, and identifiable condition that we must now aggressively manage.'”

FDA DIRECTLY Involved With Engineering COVID-19 At Fort Detrick & UNC Chapel Hill

Citizens of the United State must continue to demand local governments protect the innocent, ban the jabs, and arrest those responsible for deploying a weapon of biowarfare.

Professor Francis Boyle is back with Stew to detail his support for the Florida GOP’s “Ban the Jab” resolutions.

The Pentagon bought and funded the research that created the mRNA “Frankeshots”.

Fort Detrick was also involved in the creation of the Covid-19 virus.

That means the U.S. Government is responsible for both the creation of the Covid-19 bioweapon and the mRNA fake vaccines.

The FDA was also involved in the development of Covid-19 as an offensive biological weapon at the UNC BSL3.

The same agency (FDA) that is now tasked with deeming the “vaccines” as safe, were involved in the development of Covid-19.

A recent report out of Portugal claims 300K Americans have died from the clot shots.

Bragg sues Jim Jordan over ‘campaign to intimidate and attack’

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) sued House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) Tuesday, calling his investigation into Bragg’s prosecution of former President Trump a “transparent campaign to intimidate and attack” his office’s work.

The suit, filed in federal court in New York, is the most aggressive pushback yet from Bragg in response to Jordan, who in recent days subpoenaed a former prosecutor who worked on the Trump investigation and last week asked another employee to turn over personal emails about his hiring process.

“Congress has no power to supervise state criminal prosecutions. Nor does Congress have the power to serve subpoenas ‘for the personal aggrandizement of the investigators or to punish those investigated,’” Bragg’s office writes in the suit, pointing to a case initiated by Trump that ultimately limited Congress’s subpoena power.

Bragg has also resisted efforts from Jordan to secure his testimony, arguing in prior letters that Jordan’s requests would violate the rights of those involved in the process, including Trump himself.

“The charges the District Attorney filed against Mr. Trump were approved by citizens of New York,” the suit states.

“Rather than allowing the criminal process to proceed in the ordinary course, Chairman Jordan and the Committee are participating in a campaign of intimidation, retaliation, and obstruction.”

Jordan started his own review of Bragg’s investigation just days after Trump predicted he would be arrested in connection with the probe and called on his supporters to protest.

Bragg filed an indictment of Trump last week, charging him with 34 felony counts of misclassification of business records, a charge elevated due to alleged efforts to conceal the payments to aid Trump’s 2016 election prospects.

Bragg has yet to be subpoenaed by Jordan. But Jordan did subpoena Mark Pomerantz, who resigned from the Trump investigation about a year ago over disagreements with Bragg over the Trump case.

In a resignation letter published by the New York Times, Pomerantz wrote that Bragg’s reluctance to pursue charges against Trump was “misguided and completely contrary to the public interest.”

The suit seeks an injunction to block the subpoena of Pomerantz as well as any future subpoena issued to Bragg or others in his office.

It also notes that any subpoena would violate laws surrounding grand jury secrecy and privilege.

Prominent New York urologist charged with serial sex assaults against patients, including minors

The doctor allegedly used his professional status to falsely convince patients that his abuse was medically necessary or appropriate

A prominent New York doctor is facing a federal, four-count indictment after he was accused of sexually assaulting multiple patients, including minors, for more than five years beginning in 2015.

New York authorities arrested Dr. Darius Paduch, a 55-year-old former urologist at the New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center, on Tuesday morning.

Paduch is charged with two counts of inducement of a person to travel to engage in unlawful sexual activity and two counts of inducement of a minor to engage in unlawful sexual activity "for his yearslong [sic] sexual abuse of two victims who were his patients and who were minors during part of the period of abuse," the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York announced Tuesday.

"As alleged, for years, Darius Paduch abused the trust of patients, including minors, who saw him for sensitive medical problems. Paduch took advantage of his victims for his own deviant satisfaction. Thanks to this morning’s arrest, Paduch’s abuse of his patients ends today," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement.

Judicial Watch Sues FBI For Records on Hunter Biden Gun Scandal

Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for FBI records about the gun owned by Hunter Biden that reportedly was thrown in a trash can behind a Delaware grocery store (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:23-cv-00920)).

Judicial Watch filed suit after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) withheld records in response to a January 30, 2023, FOIA request for:

All records, including investigative reports, telephone logs, witness statements, memoranda, and firearms purchase documentation, related to the reported purchase, possession, and disposal of a firearm owned by Hunter Biden discarded in a Delaware trash receptacle circa October 2018.

All records of communications of FBI officials regarding the reported purchase, possession, and disposal of the firearm.

In a separate lawsuit, Judicial Watch received records from the United States Secret Service that implicate the FBI in the unusual action to help Hunter Biden.

Included in those records is a response to a February 2021 email inquiry from Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger regarding the Secret Service’s involvement in the investigation of the Hunter Biden gun incident, the Communications Department asks for “more information or documentation.” Schreckinger responds: “Sure thing. Agents visited StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply and asked to take possession of the paperwork Hunter had filled out to purchase a gun there. The FBI also had some involvement in the investigation.”

Also in those records is a March 2021 email from New York Post reporter Lorena Mongelli, who reached out to the Secret Service Communications Office, asking for comment on text messages on Hunter Biden’s lost laptop:

It appears the text messages were sent from Hunter Biden in which he indicates that the Secret Service did in fact respond to the Oct. 23, 2018 [gun] incident. This information contradicts your previous statement relating to the incident and we would like to know whether the Secret Service would like to respond to these new findings.

A person from the Communications Office, whose name is redacted replies: “We have received your inquiry, would you be able to provide copies of these alleged text messages for reference?”

Mongelli responds:

The Daily Mail actually posted copies of the same text messages the NY Post is referencing. This is what one text message says:

“She stole the gun out of my trunk lock box and threw it in a garbage can full to the top at Jansens [sic]. Then told me it was my problem to deal with,” Hunter wrote.

“Then when the police the FBI the secret service came on the scene she said she took it from me because she was scared I would harm myself due to o my drug and alcohol problem and our volatile relationship and that she was afraid for the kids.”

Clashes Broke Out Between Armenia And Azerbaijan

On April 11, the military departments of Armenia and Azerbaijan again accused each other of violating the ceasefire regime.

The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan claimed that units of the Armenian Armed Forces opened intense fire with small arms on the opposing positions of the Azerbaijani Army in the Lachin direction. Fire was opened from the Armenian military positions near the settlement of Dyg in the Goris district.

In its turn, the Armenian Defense Ministry reported that the Azerbaijani military opened fire on Armenian soldiers who were carrying out engineering work near the village of Tegh. This village is located in the eastern part of the region, on the highway from Yerevan and Goris to Stepanakert. A little later, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces units reportedly launched mortar fire in the same direction.

As a result of the clashes, there were reports of dead and wounded on both sides. The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry announced that three serviceman were killed and several others were wounded after the shooting.

According to some local reports, there are three dead and many wounded on the Armenian side. Among the injured is the commander of the special army corps Armen Gezalyan, who is currently in a hospital. At the same time, the death toll may increase, since the Armenian military has not yet managed to remove the wounded from the scene of the shootout.

Earlier on April 11, two Azerbaijani soldiers entered Armenian territory from Nakhichevan. At night, the local residents noticed two suspicious persons in the Syunik region of Armenia in the village of Bnunis. One of them was captured. The second soldier is wanted by the Armenian special services.

The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan issued a message that two soldiers in Nakhichevan got lost and disappeared. The deputy of the Armenian parliament considered that the Azerbaijani military fled from their positions and crossed the border.

Kiev’s Official Admits “Horrible Losses”

Increasingly, Ukraine’s defeat is being admitted even among officials of Kiev’s neo-Nazi regime. Recently, a Ukrainian diplomat claimed that his country is suffering “horrible losses”. According to him, the government is hiding the real level of losses, which is expected to change after hostilities cease. It is not clear, however, when the conflict will end, which leads us to believe that reality will continue to be omitted for a long time.

Vadim Pristaiko, Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, said during an interview with the British newspaper Daily Express that Kiev really avoids commenting publicly on its losses on the battlefield. According to Pristaiko, since the beginning of the conflict the Ukrainian government has maintained a policy of not disclosing the real number of dead and wounded people on its side. Pristaiko said he believes that this data would only be provided after the end of fighting. He also admitted that he expects a “horrible number”, showing no optimism about his country’s situation in the military scenario.

“It has been our policy from the start not to discuss our losses (…) When the war is over, we will acknowledge this. I think it will be a horrible number,” he said during the interview.

Indeed, it is common practice in any war for both sides to be cautious about claiming their losses. There are many reasons why this happens. The main one is that the defeated side, by admitting that it is weakened, not only makes it clear to the opponent that it is at a military disadvantage, but also favors the psychological and moral situation of the adversary, giving it confidence in victory. However, this reason alone is not enough to explain why Kiev hides so many of its losses.

In the Ukrainian case, the target of war propaganda is not the enemy side, which is fully aware of its own combat conditions, but Western public opinion. As a NATO proxy state and fighting a war to serve Western interests, Kiev’s neo-Nazi regime relies on the support of its allies to continue conducting maneuvers. Without this support, Kiev would be forced to surrender, as its weapons and national troops are virtually exhausted. However, this support depends on a certain level of “approval” from public opinion in order to continue to exist.

The population in western countries is unhappy with the visible consequences of NATO’s war against Russia, such as the exponential increase in the cost of living, mainly food and energy. It would be very difficult to convince ordinary citizens to support a prolonged war against Moscow, with no deadline to end, if Kiev’s defeats became public. This would further increase popular dissatisfaction and generate a large wave of protests. And this is exactly why the mainstream media works so hard to hide the truth, trying to make it look like Kiev can win, relying only on more guns. In this sense, not disclosing the real number of dead and wounded Ukrainians is a tactic of war whose target is public opinion itself. The objective is to continue legitimizing and justifying the sending of military aid.
