Private Calendar Reveals Convicted Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein met with Biden’s CIA Spy chief and Other Leftist Individuals AFTER Sex Crimes Conviction

The Wall Street Journal released an explosive report Sunday revealing that Jeffrey Epstein met with multiple left-wing individuals including Joe Biden’s now-CIA Chief William Burns after Epstein was convicted of child sex crimes.

The documents uncovered by the Wall Street Journal were related to Epstein’s private calendar.

In addition to Burns, the infamous pedophile also reportedly met with Bard College president Leon Botstein, former Barack Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler and professor Noam Chomsky following his conviction of child sex crimes.

While the Wall Street Journal could not prove every single scheduled meeting took place, the report did find Epstein met with Burns on three separate occasions. These meetings were held in Washington D.C. and in Epstein’s home in Manhattan.

CIA spokeswoman Tammy Kupperman Thorp confirmed that Burns met with Epstein in 2014. However, she claimed Burns had no idea who the disgraced financier was.

She also said Burns only met with Epstein because Burns was looking to leave to government sector and wanted advice.

The director did not know anything about him, other than he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice on the transition to the public sector.

They had no relationship.

Ruemmler scheduled dozens of meetings with Epstein and managed to land a job at Goldman Sachs in 2020 working as an attorney.

Epstein also invited her to visit his private island, Little Saint James, in 2017. This island is the place where numerous underage girls were sexually abused by Epstein.

Not surprisingly, Ruemmler told the Journal she wishes she never met Epstein.

I regret ever knowing Jeffrey Epstein.

Chomsky told the Journal that he had met with Epstein, and the two discussed politics and academia.

As Fox News reported, other figures on the documents related to Epstein’s laptop included: Ariane de Rothschild, chief executive of the Swiss private bank Edmond de Rothschild Group; Joshua Cooper Ramo, who at the time served on the boards of Starbucks Corp. and FedEx Corp; former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak; Harvard University professor Martin Nowak; and anthropologist Helen Fisher.

Epstein was found dead in a jail cell in New York City in 2019 under suspicious circumstances. Before his death, he was awaiting a trial on sex trafficking charges.

Sen. Ron Johnson: New Emails Show Tony Blinken Lied to US Senate Under Oath About Meeting with Hunter Biden

Senator Ron Johnson joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning.

Johnson dropped a political bomb to open the segment. Senator Johnson opened up by explaining the US Senate was investigating Hunter Biden back in 2019 and 2020 but he did not have “the full support of my committee or the Republican Conference to subpoena the Bidens.” Senate Republicans REFUSED to subpoena the Bidens. They truly are on the other side.

Johnson then told Maria Bartiromo that Anthony Blinken lied to his committee under oath about contacting Hunter Biden. Blinken told Johnson’s committee he did not email Hunter Biden and now Johnson has those emails.

Senator Ron Johnson: What is interesting, Marie, and here’s a little news for you. Anthony Blinken finally did come in and sit down for a voluntary transcribed interview in December of 2020 because he wanted to be secretary of state. And now, because of more information that’s come out, we know that he lied bold face to Congress about never emailing Hunter Biden. My guess is he told a bunch of other lies that hopefully we’ll be able to bring him and his wife back in, tell them to preserve their records. You cannot trust Joe Biden. You cannot trust Hunter Biden. You can’t trust the Biden family. You can’t trust so many of the people that they have surrounded themselves with these made men. I basically agree with that statement…

…What do you do when you have, in effect, co conspirators of the Biden family inside the agencies, inside our intelligence agencies, the Department of Justice, the FBI. And you have the political party, the Democrats, who couldn’t care less, have no interest whatsoever in the corruption that is being uncovered bit by bit as we pull back the layers of the onion here… He must preserve his emails. We must get to the bottom of this. We need to show how corrupt these individuals are.

Texas Senate Passes Legislation Banning 'Hostile Foreign Nations' From Buying Farmland

"This bill protects Texas farmland, oil and gas, rare earth materials and timber from being owned by foreign entities classified as hostile by the Director of U.S. National Intelligence for three consecutive reports. These nations currently include China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran," wrote Sen . Lois Kolkhorst (R) following the passage of her legislation by a vote of 19-12 in the state Senate on April 26.

According to a 2022 threat assessment report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), China, Russia, Iran and North Korea pose the biggest threats to US national security. The report says that the CCP presents "the broadest, most active, and persistent cyber espionage threat to the U.S. Government and private sector networks."

The Texas bill, SB 147, was introduced last November by Kolkhorst, and has the support of Gov. Greg Abbott (R). That said, the language of the original bill was toned down following criticism from some Democrats and locals over the bill banning property purchases of any individual who is "a citizen of China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia."

In the final draft, the ban does not apply to lawful permanent residents, US citizens or dual citizens.

The property which the bill applies to includes agricultural land, improvements, mines and quarries, mineral deposits, and standing timber.

It also grants the Texas attorney general the authority to investigate potential violations if "reasonable suspicion" exists that an individual or entity making a property purchase is associated with one of the designated countries.

"Texas is rich in its natural resources and is home to invaluable strategic military bases and installations. With SB 147, we can protect our Texas food supply and energy resources as well," wrote Kolkhorst - who built this legislation to dovetail with SB 2116 - the state's "Lone Star Infrastructure Protection Act," which makes it illegal for Texas governments and businesses to make critical infrastructure deals with entities from the banned list.

Taiwan Now Has ‘Real Time’ Intelligence Sharing Link With Five Eyes

A Taiwanese official says Taipei has been upgraded its computers to share information with the Five Eyes nations

A Taiwanese national security official said Wednesday that the island now has a “real time” intelligence-sharing link with the Five Eyes, the Western intelligence alliance that includes the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Britain.

Tsai Ming-yen, the director-general of Taiwan’s National Security Bureau, made the comments during a legislative hearing. Tsai confirmed that Taiwan had been upgrading its computer systems to be able to share information with the Five Eyes nations.

“We can connect with the ‘Five Eyes’ alliance through a confidential system,” Tsai said, according to Reuters.

The comments are the latest example of Taiwan’s growing relationship with the US and its allies. The cooperation angers Beijing, which has responded to the increased US support for Taiwan by putting more military pressure on the island.

Also on Wednesday, the Taiwanese Defense Ministry said its upcoming military exercises will focus on breaking a blockade. China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) simulated a blockade around Taiwan in August 2022 in response to then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) visiting the island.

China conducted similar drills after Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen recently met with the current House speaker, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), in California, although they weren’t as extensive as the Pelosi exercises.

Taiwan’s Han Kuang exercises will include tabletop drills from May 15 to 19 and live-fire exercises from July 24 to 28.

Ex-Mortuary Employee Indicted for Selling Human Body Parts to Wicked Satanist She Met on Facebook

As Cristina Laila reported in August, a Pennsylvania man was arrested for buying stolen human remains from an Arkansas woman.

“On June 14th, 2022, the East Pennsboro Township Police received a call for suspicious activity located in the 200 block of N. Enola Rd, Enola,” East Pennsboro TWP PD wrote in a news release. “An investigation was conducted and determined that a Jeremy Pauley of Enola was purchasing human body parts from a female in Arkansas. The human remains were located in Enola, Arkansas and Scranton.”

Jeremy Pauley, 40, was arrested and charged with abuse of a corpse, and receiving stolen property among other charges, NBC News reported.

Pauley was released from jail on a $50,000 bond.

Jeremy Pauley posted a photo of human bones on his Facebook page – The photos are no longer live on the platform.

According to ABC News, a spokeswoman for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock confirmed that the remains were to be donated to UAMS’s facility. UAMS spokeswoman Leslie Taylor said they were instead stolen from Arkansas Central Mortuary Services in Little Rock by a female mortuary employee and sold, adding that there is an open federal investigation.

The New York Post reported:

An Arkansas woman pleaded not guilty to charges she sold stolen body parts from medical school corpses for $11,000 to a Pennsylvania man she met on social media.

Candace Chapman Scott, 36, a former mortuary worker, is accused of selling 20 boxes of body parts to a man she met through a Facebook group about “oddities,” according to the April 5 indictment unsealed Friday in federal court in Little Rock.

Scott pleaded not guilty to 12 counts, including conspiracy to commit mail fraud, mail fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property and interstate transportation of stolen property.

She remains in jail as she awaits a hearing scheduled for Tuesday on whether she will be released on bail.

Rep. James Comer Claims Hunter Biden’s Legal Team is Intimidating Witnesses

Comer Alleges Biden Legal Team Is Intimidating Witnesses: ‘They Fear For Their Lives’

One of the top Republicans leading the probe into Hunter Biden’s shady business affairs claims that the president’s son’s lawyers are using intimidation tactics against whistleblowers and witnesses.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said that President Joe Biden’s legal team is threatening potential witnesses, making them fear for their lives.

“We’ve got witnesses that are scared to death to come forward. They fear for their lives,” Comer said, adding that the Hunter Biden legal team has been “testing the limits with respect to witness intimidation.”

The Republican is also accusing Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) of serving as an attorney for the Biden family, who was once all about the support of impeaching former President Trump.

“[As] evidence emerges, thanks to us, about wrongdoing within the Biden family, and he then quickly becomes a defense attorney,” Comer continued.

Comer also claimed that Democrat officials in Congress were bankrolling “dark money groups” to destroy the investigation and paying off witnesses, adding that Left-leaning lawyers are pressuring banks to cooperate with the congressional investigation.

RFK Jr Says His Father, Uncle Were Fighting the Military Industrial Complex Before Their Murders

The world took a wrong turn down the road of fascistic corporatism after the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers, RFK Jr. told Piers Morgan.

2024 Democrat Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Piers Morgan that his father, and uncle (Robert F. Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy) were fighting against the military-industrial complex and the fascistic merger of corporate and state power before they were murdered.

“My father and uncle were fighting against the emergence of the military-industrial complex,” RFK Jr. told Piers Morgan in an interview on Morgan’s television program, “The Talk.”

“Their deaths really marked a fork in the road for our country and the rest of the world,” RFK Jr. went on, adding that “we started down this road towards corporatism, what I call the merger, this corrupt merger of state and corporate power.”

Kennedy Jr. went on in the interview to add that “President Eisenhower wanted us,” just days before John F. Kennedy took office, about the “rise of the military-industrial complex which has turned America into a warfare state abroad and a surveillance state at home.”

McCarthy Arrives in Israel on First International Visit as Speaker

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) arrived in Israel on April 30 with a 16-member bipartisan congressional delegation.

He arrived in Israel at about noon local time following an invitation from the Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana. The Knesset is the Israeli parliament.

Ohana welcomed McCarthy and the delegation, saying that he looks forward to strengthening “the connection between our two parliaments.”

He also thanked him for “choosing the Knesset to be the first parliament in the world to visit.”

“It is an honor for us to join you in Jerusalem to celebrate the independence of Israel and to reaffirm the special bond between our nations,” McCarthy said, according to a press statement from the Knesset spokesperson.

Israel celebrated its Independence Day on April 25 and 26.

“In the next 75 years, our important partnership promises to be even stronger than the first 75 years,” McCarthy added.

“My first trip abroad as Speaker will be a return to Israel to commemorate their 75th year of statehood,” he said in a post on Twitter on April 18.

“The U.S.-Israel relationship is as important as ever, and I’m proud to accept [Ohana]’s invitation as the 2nd Speaker of the House in history to address the Knesset.”

House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) spoke before the Knesset 25 years ago, in May 1998.

McCarthy will visit Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum, on Monday and will address the Knesset in the afternoon.

My first trip abroad as Speaker will be a return to Israel to commemorate their 75th year of statehood.

The US-Israel relationship is as important as ever, and I’m proud to accept @AmirOhana’s invitation as the 2nd Speaker of the House in history to address the Knesset. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

— Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy) April 18, 2023

The Republican Speaker has been a strong supporter of Israel and has publicly voiced support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu is an Israeli patriot, statesman, and most importantly a great friend of the USA,” he said in a Twitter post on March 30.

“Free societies have vigorous and open debate. Israel is no exception,” he said, adding, “I support [Netanyahu], and America’s support for Israel’s strong, vibrant democracy is unwavering.”

He was referring to the ongoing efforts by Netanyahu’s government to reform the judicial system in Israel, which has faced criticism both inside and outside the country.

Michigan Senate Votes In Favor of Electric Vehicle Plants for Firm That Pledges Allegiance to Chinese Communist Party.

Michigan’s State Senate has voted in favor of a second Chinese Communist Party-linked (CCP) company to build electric vehicle (EV) battery plants in the state. The Senate Appropriations Committee saw Democratic legislators vote 10-9 in favor of a $175 million grant to Gotion Incorporated for a new $2.4 billion EV battery plant in Mecosta County, north east of Grand Rapids.

Gotion High-Tech.

The Chair of the Michigan GOP, Kristina Karamo, was firm in her denunciation of the grant before the Senate Committee, stating, “[I]f you choose to give this money to Gotion, you are a traitor to this your Republic, you are a traitor to your children.”

Despite the grant being awarded to the American subsidiary of Gotion, based in California, Gotion’s parent company is Gotion High-Tech, which is based in China.

The President and CEO of Gotion High-Tech, Chen Li, recently refused to respond to questions involving his connections to the CCP, including over suspicions of his party membership. The Vice President of the U.S. subsidiary, Chuck Thelen, acknowledged that Li is both the President of the Gotion Inc – the American subsidiary – as well as the parent company, demonstrating a direct CCP influence across all aspects of the company.

Chen Li is a “member of the [Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference] CPPCC of Bathe District in Hefei City,” reads his biography on the globalist World Economic Forum website. In 2018, the U.S. government published a report explaining the CPPCC is a “critical coordinating body” that brings together representative software Chinese Interest groups and is led by the CCP’s Politburo Standing Committee.

Furthermore, the company’s “Articles of Association,” states the company “shall perform its duties in accordance with the Constitution of the Communist Party of China and other Party regulations.”

Therefore they must, “ensure and supervise the implementation of the Party’s guidelines, principles and policies in the Company, and implement major strategic decisions of the CPC (Communist Party of China) Central Committee, and the State Council as well as relevant important work arrangements of the Party organization at a higher level.”

Gotion must also, according to the CCP, “[s]trengthen the construction of Party organization and Party members at the grass-roots level of the Company.” This means expanding the “Communist Youth League and other mass work of the Company”.

Hospital Video Series Features Adults Talking To Young Kids About Transgenderism, ‘Exploring’ Their Bodies Before Sex

Lurie Children’s Hospital created a series of videos in which adults talk to children about transgenderism, pronouns, sexual orientation and other sexual subjects.

Several of the children in these videos identify as transgender and, upon prompting from adult interviewers, recite activist talking points such as denying that transgenderism is caused by social contagion or saying their transgender identity developed in very early childhood.

“My birth parents said that I was a girl but they made a mistake … I wasn’t a girl or a boy,” one young child said, noting that she was “at least five or six” before realizing she was non-binary.

The Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago created a video series in which adults discussed transgenderism and sexual topics with children as young as nine, some of whom identified as transgender themselves.

The “Never Fear” video series on Lurie’s website includes videos of one-on-one talks between adults and children about touching oneself, “exploring” other people’s bodies, same-sex relationships and coming out as transgender. The hospital was previously subject to blowback over its partnerships with local schools, through which it promoted chest binders, LGBT-oriented sex toys and sex tips for “queer” people.

The series features a video of an 11-year-old discussing “exploring” one’s own body before having sexual encounters with other people. One clip shows a young girl explaining what sexual orientation means, and other videos in the series feature older adolescents and young adults discussing topics such as abortion, AIDS and birth control.

Lurie’s Children’s Hospital did not respond to a for comment, but the hospital’s video series has since been made private, meaning they’re inaccessible to the general public. The Daily Caller News Foundation, however, has archived versions of the videos mentioned in this story.

In some of the videos featuring young children who identify as transgender, adults prompt them to say things that closely align with the talking points of transgender activists: that their transgender identity developed in early childhood, for example, or that it wasn’t caused by peer influence.

In one “Never Fear” video, a 13-year-old who goes by “they/them” pronouns said that spending time around transgender people was good for young people because it could help them discover that they’re transgender too.

“A lot of parents think that if their kids are around gender diverse people that they’re going to somehow turn trans,” the child said. “You don’t turn trans, you just discover that you are trans.”

Huge 'SatanCon' devil-worshipping convention sparks furious protests from religious groups in angry scenes in Boston

Hundreds of Satanists have descended on Boston for 'the largest Satanic gathering in history'

Several furious religious groups are 'ambushing' the event, with one saying they plan to use 'intense prayer' to counter the Devil worshippers

Counter-events have been set up across the city, while large numbers of protestors are gathered outside the conference

Furious Christian groups are attempting to shut down the 'largest Satanic gathering in history' after hundreds of The Satanic Temple's members descended on Boston.

The annual SatanCon festival arrived in town on Friday to celebrate the organization's 10-year anniversary, kicking off with a bizarre opening ceremony that saw speakers tear up the bible and perform 'un-baptisms'.

But the arrival of the Devil worshippers on the East Coast has sparked backlash from religious groups, with crowds gathering Saturday to stage a series of demonstrations across the city and combat the hellish three-day event with 'intense prayer'.

It comes after Dr Jaymz Sideras, the leader of religious group Revive Boston, warned: 'While they think they are coming to ambush Boston, little do they know that God has planned to ambush them.'

His organization is hosting a counter-event at the Revere Hotel Boston Common, less than a mile from the Satanist convention at the Boston Marriott Copley Place.

Tempers flared as the conference headed into its second day, with white nationalist group Patriot Front seen brandishing crucifixes.

The Number Of Jailed Journalists Reaches Record High

As Statista’s Martin Armstrong reports, some 363 journalists were imprisoned in 30 different countries last year, according to data from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).

By 2021, the number of detainees had already exceeded 300 – roughly doubling since 2015. An alarming trend that, according to the experts, is a sign of the deterioration of press freedom worldwide.

In 2022, the largest number of journalists were held in an Iranian prison (62 people), in China (43), and Myanmar, where 42 people were locked away at the end of the year.

Developments in Eastern Europe are also cause for concern – the arrest of Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich by Russian authorities one recent indicator of the situation there. Gershkovich was arrested while reporting on the Ukraine war and is the first U.S. journalist since the end of the Cold War to be detained on espionage charges in Russia.

California Teachers Sue School District Over Transgender Policy Allegedly Forcing Them To Lie To Parents

Teachers from a California middle school are suing officials in their school district in federal court over policies that they say force them to conceal the transgender status of young students from parents.

The lawsuit happens to come after President Joe Biden’s remarks earlier this month in support of the nation’s teacher of the year angered parents by suggesting government knows best when it comes to the raising of children.

Biden quoted the teacher when he said, “There’s no such thing as someone else’s child.” The president then said, “Our nation’s children are all our children.”

The legal complaint (pdf) in the new case, Mirabelli v. Olson, was filed April 27 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. The teachers involved in the lawsuit are devout Christians.

The defendants are officials with the Escondido Union School District (EUSD), which is in San Diego County, and officials with the California State Board of Education.

The lawsuit was prompted by the K-8 school district’s recent policies affecting transgender or gender-diverse students.

The policies require teachers to assist in a student’s transgender “social transition” by accepting a child’s assertion of a transgender or gender-diverse identity and using during school hours any pronouns or a gender-specific name requested by a student.

At the same time, the policies also require teachers to revert to biological pronouns and legal names when speaking with parents in order to cover up information about a child’s purported gender identity from the child’s parents, according to the Thomas More Society, a nonprofit public interest law firm that filed the lawsuit.

“All of this is to be done without parent or guardian agreement or knowledge,” said Paul Jonna, Thomas More Society special counsel and a partner at LiMandri and Jonna.

War Crime: Ukraine Uses Chemical Weapons In Bakhmut

Four Ukrainian servicemen equipped with antichemical protection and gas-helmets were spotted installing cans with an unidentified chemicals close to the front lines in the Western part of Bakhmut.

The video was shared by Russian sources, which claimed that the group of Ukrainian servicemen was destroyed after it was spotted by Russian UAV.

The Russian military has already reported cases of deployment of chemical weapons by the AFU on the Donbass front lines. On April 22, such reports came from Bakhmut. Russian military reporters in the war-torn city claimed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had already used chemical weapons there before and do not stop their criminal attacks. That time, the Ukrainian military used unidentified gas with no smell which causes epilepsy. Ukrainian forces fire at the advancing Wagner forces with gas cylinders either from RPGs or from mortars. Such shells collapse and spray chemicals. The chemical weapons of the AFU are likely produced with the support of foreign NATO-member states. While the so-called international community turns a blind eye to the war crimes of the terrorist Kiev regime, Ukrainian fighters are paying for them with their lives on the front line.

Trudeau meets with Alex Soros- son of George Soros- and fellow 'globalists' to discuss climate aid for poor countries

In February, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced $44.8 million to tackle climate change in the Caribbean, as part of the Bridgetown Initiative.

On April 26, the U.N. Secretary-General and the Prime Minister of Barbados convened in New York to discuss mechanisms to distribute climate aid to poorer countries.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres and Barbados Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley met with academics, civil servants and heads of state, including Dr. Alex Soros and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, to "advance immediate game-changing steps and longer-term reform" on climate financing.

"The international financial architecture is short-sighted, crisis-prone, and bears no relation to today's economic reality," said Guterres in a press release.

"Building a fair, equal, and peaceful future, with clean air and clean water for everyone, is at the heart of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and reflects the vision of the Global Citizen NOW summit," added Trudeau.

According to the 2023 Financing for Sustainable Development Report, 52 low- and middle-income developing economies are either in debt distress or at high risk of debt distress, accounting for more than 40% of the world's poorest people.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) states poorer countries like Barbados face significant risks from climate change, citing "more frequent and intense" hurricanes, rising sea levels, and coastal erosion.

"If countries cannot access the finance they need at rates they can afford, the world will lose the battle, not simply the countries," added Mottley, who wants to revolutionize how the developing world receives climate aid.

In July 2022, Mottley convened a high-level retreat in Bridgetown, the island nation's capital, which led to the Bridgetown Initiative — a call to action to address the "immediate financial needs" of climate change.

Since then, the United Nations has claimed progress on "multiple fronts," including an agreement to establish a loss and damage fund during the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP27), with the terms to be agreed upon at COP28 in 2023.
