SHOCKING UPDATE: Target Partners with Controversial Education Group, GLSEN, Promoting Gender Transition in Schools Without Parental Consent

 

Retail giant Target has partnered with GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network), a group that advocates policies that keep parents unaware of their child’s in-school gender transition, providing sexually explicit books to schools, and pushing gender ideology throughout public school curricula.

 

According to the report, GLSEN is a radical education group leading efforts to create ‘inclusive and anti-racist environments’ for LGBTQIA+ students.

 

“GLSEN believes that every student has the right to a safe, supportive, and LGBTQ-inclusive K-12 education. We are a national network of educators, students, and local GLSEN Chapters working to make this right a reality,” the website reads.

 

Target Corporation has confirmed its collaboration with GLSEN and expressed pride in their decade-long partnership. The company has been making donations to GLSEN, emphasizing its support for the organization’s mission.

 

“GLSEN leads the movement in creating affirming, accessible and anti-racist spaces for LGBTQIA+ students. We are proud of 10+ years of collaboration with GLSEN and continue to support their mission,” Target wrote.

 

At least $2.1 million has been donated by Target to GLSEN, which helps schools and kids conceal gender transitions from parents.

 

In 2015, GLSEN partnered with Target to “produce a mini-documentary highlighting the work of students, educators and volunteers who have improved school climate for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth across the country.”

 

FOX News reported:

 

GLSEN calls for gender ideology to be integrated into all classes, even math. It provides educators instructions on how they can make math “more inclusive of trans and non-binary identities” by including “they/them” pronouns in word problems.

 

In another example, GLSEN recommended that teachers intervene if students are making graphs about sex and gender to ensure it includes the ideology supported by GLSEN. “When students are creating their own surveys, if they want to include data for biological sex, teachers need to be sure they include both intersex and other as choices.”

 

“[A]nd if the students want to include data for gender, a variety of choices need to be included, such as agender, genderfluid, female, male, nonbinary, transman, transwoman, and other,” a lesson plan continued.

 

GLSEN also spotlighted recommendations from a teacher who discussed incorporating gender ideology into science.

Dallas Schools Roll Out AI 'Pre-Crime' System To Monitor Student Behavior

 

In recent years, schools across America, with the help of private companies, have been significantly ramping up surveillance on students, largely in the name of keeping the children safe.

 

Now that there is big buzz about artificial intelligence, or “AI,” it should come as little surprise that peeping adults will increasingly employ AI to aid them in the surveilling of school students.

 

Last week, the Dallas Independent School District was boasting about its new pilot project, undertaken along with the company Davista. The pilot project, the school district says, uses AI to extensively monitor each student and then sound the alarm if a student deviates from his “baseline” behavior.

 

Talk about stifling. Doesn’t growing up tend to involve moving away from your baseline? And since when does being a kid mean you should have no privacy? Tough kids, that is not how the AI sees things.

 

According to a Dallas Independent School District press release:

 

This initiative will utilize Davista's Heimdall platform, a breakthrough technology that empowers organizations to identify risk and take action before the projected risk becomes a consequential event or incident.

 

…Davista's student safety and support platform enables comprehensive analysis and review of student data through software, minimizing inherent human biases and disparities by objectively assessing data points and reducing assumptions and cognitive fatigue. Leveraging existing data within the school, the technology pays attention to students' participation, performance, and behavioral patterns. This process establishes a baseline for each student, derived from their past information, allowing real-time analysis of any deviations from their personal baseline.

 

The last time I wrote about the Dallas Independent School District was in May of 2021. In that post, I discussed the district then busing students off campus to receive experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots — another Big Brother project fallaciously taken in the name of protecting the children.

 

In that May post, I noted that “At its website, the Dallas Independent School District describes itself as the fourteenth largest school district in America, with ‘approximately 154,000 students in pre-kindergarten through the 12th grade.’” Here is some good news: The district’s website now indicates that it has dropped down to sixteenth largest school district in America and has experienced a decline to approximately 141,000 students.

 

That significant reduction over the last two years in the number of students subjected to the district’s dictates may provide some real progress toward protecting the children.

Doctor Reprimanded, Fined for Talking Publicly About Minor’s Abortion

 

A doctor was reprimanded and fined by Indiana officials on May 25 for disclosing details about an abortion she performed on a 10-year-old.

 

Dr. Caitlin Bernard didn’t abide by privacy laws when she told a newspaper reporter about the abortion, according to Indiana’s Medical Licensing Board.

 

The board, however, rejected accusations from Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita that Bernard violated state law by not reporting the child abuse to Indiana authorities.

 

Board members turned down a request from the attorney general’s office to suspend Bernard’s license and did not restrict Bernard’s practice of medicine. They fined Bernard $3,000 for the violations.

 

“Thanks to my amazing team, the abortion doctor got the maximum civil fine for violating three counts of privacy laws and received a public reprimand to go into a national database,” Rokita said in a statement.

 

Bernard and one of her lawyers did not respond to requests for comment.

 

Bernard, who has consistently defended her actions, told the board that she followed Indiana’s reporting requirements and hospital policy by notifying hospital social workers about the child abuse. The doctor’s lawyers said that she didn’t release any identifying information about the girl that would break privacy laws.

 

The 10-year-old’s situation was reported by the Indianapolis Star on July 1, 2022, one day after the abortion was performed and several weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade. That ruling triggered a law in Ohio that barred abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, prompting the girl to travel for the abortion.

 

The girl who received the abortion was raped by an illegal immigrant in Ohio, authorities there said. Gerson Fuentes, the illegal alien, lived in the same home as the girl. A trial for Fuentes, who has pleaded not guilty, has not yet taken place.

 

Bernard reported the abortion to the Indiana Department of Health shortly after performing the procedure, in line with state law. Several details were wrong or missing, including the age of the father of the child and his immigration status. She also did not report the case to Indiana’s Department of Child Services or police, according to Rokita’s office.

 

Rokita, a Republican, publicly questioned whether Bernard followed state law on reporting and said that his office was investigating the matter. A judge later found that Rokita violated state law by disclosing the investigation.

 

Rokita also said Bernard may have violated privacy law. Her employer, Indiana University, concluded that she did not violate federal privacy law, but the Medical Licensing Board on Thursday concluded that Bernard went too far in telling a reporter about the girl’s pending abortion and that physicians need to be careful about observing patient privacy.

Decision

 

“I don’t think she expected this attention to be brought to this patient. It did. It happened,” Dr. John Strobel, president of the board, said.

 

The board said that Bernard disclosing the girl’s circumstances and her age could have led to her identity being exposed.

 

Bernard told the Star that she received a call from a child abuse doctor in Ohio who shared that he had a 10-year-old patient who was six weeks and three days pregnant, and that the girl was going to Indiana to see Bernard.

 

Rokita said the case “was about patient privacy and the trust between the doctor and patient that was broken.”

 

“What if it was your child or your parent or your sibling who was going through a sensitive medical crisis, and the doctor, who you thought was on your side, ran to the press for political reasons? It’s not right, and the facts we presented today made that clear,” he added.

 

Dr. Bharat Barai, a board member, dissented from the majority.

 

“We are trying to suppose that yeah this could have been done and maybe somebody could have discovered it,” Barai said.

 

The Indiana board—with five doctors and one attorney present who were appointed or reappointed by Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb—had wide latitude under state law allowing it to issue reprimand letters or suspend, revoke, or place on probation a doctor’s license.

 

Alice Morical, a lawyer representing Bernard, said that the doctor “could not have anticipated the atypical and intense scrutiny that this story received.” President Joe Biden cited the case during remarks at the White House, sparking speculation that the story was made up until Fuentes was arrested.

AP Claims, Without Evidence, Target Boycotts Became ‘Violent’ — Then Stealth-Edits Story

 

The far-left Associated Press (AP) spread conspiracy theories about Target customers behaving violently, and after it was called out for spreading this misinformation, the disgraced outlet secretly deleted its lies without noting an update or correction.

 

“The Associated Press has removed uncredited claims, without telling readers,” reports Just the News, “that Target yanked or relocated LGBTQ merchandise featured prominently in Pride Month displays in response to ‘threats to workers’ and ‘violent confrontations’ between customers and employees.”

 

As many are aware, Target has joined companies like Disney in the grooming of small children by prematurely exposing them to adult sexuality, homosexuality, transvestites, transsexuals, and drag queens.

 

Any individual or corporation that launches a campaign to prematurely sexualize children is guilty of child abuse, is a threat to children, and is undoubtedly grooming them for abuse.

 

June is now Pride Month in America, an unconscionably stupid and disgusting celebration of what two percent of the population do with their sex organs. As if that is not bad enough, corporations like Disney and Target use Pride Month as an excuse to groom children.

 

Target is so dedicated to this degeneracy; it partnered with a Satanist.

 

Obviously, decent and normal people believe it is wrong to have sex with children and are upset over Target’s (literal) satanic grooming. This has resulted in well-deserved backlash.

 

But.

 

Because the AP is firmly on the side of groomers, it spreads lies that would make the literal Satanists at Target look like the victims here. Here is the AP’s published conspiracy theory:

 

“Target removes some LGBTQ merchandise from stores ahead of June Pride month after threats to workers,” reads the fake headline. The story opens with these lies:

 

Target is removing certain items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month, after an intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers.

 

The following day, the liars at the AP changed the story. Naturally, the story is still filled with unsupported allegations, but the AP’s conspiracy theories about threats and violence have been removed. But because the AP is a fake news outlet, no editor’s note explains the correction. The far-left hoaxsters are choosing to pretend it never happened.

 

The new headline reads, “Target becomes latest company to suffer backlash for LGBTQ+ support, pulls some Pride month clothing”.

 

Here is how the opening paragraph is stealthily rewritten:

 

Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work,” Target said in a statement Tuesday. ”Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.”

 

“As AP continued to report out the story, we were able to provide more specific examples of the incidents that took place and we updated the story accordingly,” Vice President of Corporate Communications Lauren Easton told Just the News.

US Marshals locate 225 missing children in nationwide operation

 

The United States Marshals Service (USMS), with the help of state and local agencies, located 225 endangered missing children during a 10-week operation in states across the nation, the agency said.

 

Operation We Will Find You is a nationwide effort to locate missing children, according to a USMS press release. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children supported the recovery of 169 children and the safe location of 56 children.

 

The USMS said it referred 28 cases to law enforcement due to suspected criminal activity, including drugs and weapons, sex trafficking and sex offender violations.

 

“The U.S. Marshals Service is fully committed to the important mission of protecting the American people, especially our most vulnerable population – our children,” Ronald Davis, Director of the Marshals Service, said in a statement. “The results of this operation underscore that commitment, but also highlight the necessity of these critical efforts. Our continued success can only be achieved through our collaboration with state and local law enforcement agencies, and partnership with NCMEC. Together, the USMS and NCMEC have recovered over 3,100 missing children since the passage of the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act in 2015.”

The operation was held in Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Michigan, Washington, Florida, California, Ohio, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Ten of the children located were found in Mexico, the USMS said.

 

“Operation We Will Find You is a great example of how the U.S. Marshals Service continues to prioritize child protection,” said NCMEC President & CEO Michelle DeLaune. “NCMEC is proud of our long-standing partnership with the USMS and commends them and the participating state and local agencies who helped recover the 225 endangered missing children.”

 

The USMS said the missing children located during Operation We Will Find You involved “high-risk factors” including victimization of child sex trafficking, child exploitation, sexual abuse, physical abuse and medical or mental health conditions.

NatWest bank now demanding that customers explain why they’re withdrawing their own cash

 

An alleged customer of NatWest bank captured a photo of a sign plastered across the doorway entry to one of the bank’s branches notifying customers that in order to withdraw their own cash, they must tell NatWest why they need it.

 

Based out of London, with a few locations in Southern California as well, NatWest allegedly told its customers via signage that in order to keep them “safe and secure,” customers will now be asked questions about the purpose of their cash withdrawals.

 

“We may also ask for supporting documentation such as an invoice,” the sign further reads. “This helps us validate the withdrawal as genuine and protect you against fraud and scams.”

 

The biggest fraud and scam of all is private central banking, of course, which has a stranglehold on the United Kingdom just as it does the United States. Nevertheless, this is the official story from NatWest as to why it has decided to start probing its customers’ intentions before allowing them to access their own cash.

 

Private central banking is the biggest scam and fraud of all

 

The signage at NetWest also allegedly informs customers that in order to withdraw “large cash” amounts exceeding £2,000, a 24-hour notice must first be sent to the bank so preparations can be made.

 

“You can pre-advise us of your transaction via our customer contact team or in branch,” the sign states.

 

“In some instances, we may choose to decline the cash withdrawal based on the information provided surrounding the transaction. This will be at the branch’s own discretion – for more information please review our T&Cs that can be found under section 2.2.)

 

A graphic display of the sign has been circulating on social media as of late – you may have already seen it. It was independently verified on the NatWest website, which contains the same small-print notice about the sudden change.

 

In Canada, this type of thing has already been happening for quite some time now, including before covid. At least four big banks there routinely ask their customers to explain why they are withdrawing cash in excess of a couple thousand dollars.

 

Customers are free to tell them that this is none of their business – and banking customers need to know that they have the freedom to do this, as some probably fear that they have no choice but to answer any such line of questioning.

 

Even if no bank has yet to deny a person’s withdrawal for any reason, you can see that the groundwork is now being laid, with NatWest in tow, to normalize the probing of people’s purchasing decisions.

 

The infamous “war on cash” is what this is all about, and it is moving along nicely, bit by bit, in the U.K., Canada, India, France, and elsewhere where the banking systems are tightening their restrictions on customer freedom.

 

Soon, it will all morph – or at least this is the stated plan – into a central bank digital currency, or CBDC, paradigm. If left to run its course, central banking will lead the way into late-stage globalism, marked by an elimination of all privacy; a litany of new controls over consumer behavior; and the end of fiat currency as we currently know it.

 

“With the mother of all economic recessions dead ahead (if not here already), and the fiat banking system more or less insolvent, the value proposition for CBDCs (aka subservience-tokens) will be Universal Basic Income, with all-encompassing strings attached,” reports warn.

DOJ And IRS Probing Democrat Senator For Accepting Luxurious Gifts In Exchange For Government Contracts

 

The Department of Justice is looking for evidence that New Jersey’s senior U.S. Senator Bob Menendez illegally accepted luxury gifts in exchange for overseas government contracts and failed to report them to tax disclosure forms, NBC New York has learned.

 

The gifts, according to sources close to the investigation, include a Mercedes Benz sedan, jewelry, and a luxury apartment in Washington, D.C. The probe centers around a New Jersey-based businessman who in return for the gifts allegedly received a meat certification contract with the Egyptian government despite having no relationships in the country or experience to perform the work.

 

Menendez, a Democrat, chairs the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee and would have the authority to marshal votes for such an arrangement. A spokesman for the senator’s office denied any wrongdoing on his part and said “Should there be any official inquiries, the senator is available to provide any assistance requested of him or his office.”

 

Sources say the investigation is being led by Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, in partnership with the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigations unit. Investigators want to determine whether Menendez and his wife Nadine Arslanian accepted gifts from the owner of IS EG Halal, a home-state meat processor, and whether the senator took any action in return.

 

In addition to the possible quid pro quo, the IRS is exploring whether Senator Menendez failed to account for any gifts on his personal tax records. He has not listed any of the mentioned items on Senate disclosure forms.

 

In 2019, IS EG Halal was awarded an exclusive contract with the Egyptian government to certify Halal meat exports. The owner, who is Christian, was an unfamiliar choice for the Islamic nation which led to other contractors losing millions of dollars in revenue as the Egyptian government made way for the U.S.-approved partnership. Industry insiders were shocked at the choice, with one former USDA official saying it “defies logic.”

 

The FBI will center its portion of the investigation around whether IS EG Halal paid bribes to officials in Egypt to grease the skids for their business. For its part, the Edgewater, NY-based business has denied any wrongdoing and claimed it earned the contract on merit alone.

John Kerry says farmers need to stop growing food in order to achieve “net zero” climate goals

 

Failed presidential candidate and political fossil John Kerry, a Democrat, is back in the news for ominous comments he recently made about how the only way for leftists to achieve their “net zero” climate goals is for farmers all around the world to stop growing food.

 

The illegitimate Joe Biden regime’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, Kerry told an audience at the Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) AIM for Climate Summit the other day that “we can’t get to net zero, we won’t get this job done, unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution.”

 

According to Kerry, he and other world leaders’ “lives depend” on farmers ceasing their operations. This will lower agriculture “emissions,” Kerry added, noting that he does not even call it climate change anymore – “it’s not change; it’s a crisis.”

 

“Mitigating methane is the fastest way to reduce warming in the short term,” Kerry declared to the audience, referring to the flatulence produced by cattle as they munch on grasses – or in the case of chemical agriculture, the gas these animals pass after eating genetically modified (GMO) corn and other industrial feed.

 

“Food and agriculture can contribute to a low-methane future by improving farmer productivity and resilience,” he further stated. “We welcome agriculture ministers participating in the implementation of the Global Methane Pledge.”

 

(Related: John Kerry should have been arrested and charged years ago for crimes against humanity, but he is still a free man due to leftist privilege.)

 

Unless a LOT more people stop eating, the planet will warm another half-degree by 2050, Kerry contends

 

The only people who should be allowed to eat meat are rich elitists like himself, was the overall message delivered by Kerry. Everyone else needs to stop eating, in essence, for the climate change plan to work.

 

“Food systems themselves contribute a significant amount of emissions just in the way in which we do the things we’ve been doing,” Kerry proclaimed.

 

“With a growing population on the planet – we just crossed the threshold of eight billion fellow citizens around the world – emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century.”

 

Kerry called on world leaders from all around the world to massively scale back their citizens’ farming operations in order to keep the planet cooler and less warm as we move into the future.

 

“This sector needs innovation now more than ever,” Kerry said. “We’re facing record malnutrition at a time when agriculture, more than any other sector, is suffering from the impacts of the climate crisis.”

 

“We need economic, social and policy innovation in order to scale adaptation of these technical solutions and get them into the hands of folks in the fields of small farmers on a worldwide basis. This is the promise of AIM for Climate Summit.”

 

Fake president Biden recently pledged that the U.S. will, in fact, reach net zero emissions by the year 2050. How this happens depends entirely upon how many farms the globalist overlords can force out of business, resulting in much less food and far fewer mouths to feed.

 

Co-led by both the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), AIM for Climate is devoted to slashing farming emissions through investments in “innovation,” which more than likely means corporate bug-producing factories to replace meat for the general public.

 

“Food and agriculture can contribute to a low-methane future by improving farmer productivity and resilience,” Kerry said. “We welcome agriculture ministers participating in the implementation of the Global Methane Pledge.”

Maricopa County accepted over 4,000 federal-only race ballots in 2020 without US citizenship proof

 

A total of 14,298 residents were registered to only vote in the federal elections during the November 2020 general election.

 

Arizona's Maricopa County accepted 4,484 federal-only ballots for the November 2020 presidential election that didn't require the voters who cast them to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, according to documents provided by the county.

 

The request for the information was made by Tristan Manos, a Maricopa County Republican Committee precinct committeeman.

 

The county provided information on how many ballots with only federal races on them were counted in the 2020 presidential election and the number of voters who are registered to receive federal-only ballots.

Arizona law requires residents registering to vote in the state to provide proof of U.S. citizenship.

 

However, after the Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that Arizona must accept federal voter registration forms because of federal requirements under the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, the state allows residents registering to vote who don't provide proof of citizenship to receive ballots for federal races only.

 

Federal voter registration forms require those filling them out only to sign a sworn declaration that they are U.S. citizens.

 

According to the 2020 data provided by Maricopa County, 14,298 residents were registered to vote only in the federal elections during the November general election.

 

A total of 8,114 federal-only ballots were cast in that election.

 

From that number, 3,630 were Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act ballots for overseas voters. In total, there were 4,484 federal-only ballots the county accepted and counted in its canvass, but those voters didn't provide proof of U.S. citizenship.

Maricopa also has a PowerPoint detailing how it is illegal for a non-U.S. citizen to vote, and county data shows that voter registrations for 222 foreign nationals have been canceled since 2015, with nine of them casting 12 ballots over four federal elections.

Arizona has also had issues with mailing federal-only ballots to voters.

 

In October 2022, just before the November general election, then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs mistakenly sent out as many as 6,000 federal-only ballots to voters who were U.S. citizens.

 

When residents of Arizona register to vote or update their registration, an election system accesses their driver's license records to verify whether they have proof of citizenship. Those without documentation are ineligible to vote in state elections and registered as "federal-only" voters, according to the Associated Press.

 

At the time of the mishap, a spokeswoman for Hobbs' office said the driver's license query failed to properly verify the citizenship for some people, resulting in them being improperly registered as the federal-only voters.

After Clearing MI5 of Torture, Keir Starmer Attended its Chief’s Farewell Party

 

The year after he protected Jonathan Evans from possible prosecution, the U.K. Labour leader — then senior public prosecutor — went to the spymaster’s farewell drinks, paid for by the security agency

 

Starmer refused to prosecute MI5 for its role in the torture of Binyam Mohamed, which “delighted” the agency’s chief Jonathan Evans

Evans tells Declassified Starmer attended his MI5 leaving party the following year, but “does not now recall” if he spoke to Starmer

Evans could have been criminally liable if Starmer had decided to prosecute MI5

Declassified could find no record of any other director of public prosecutions socialising with the head of MI5

But Starmer does not respond to Declassified’s questions about his attendance at the MI5 party

Starmer also attended “networking reception” for Foreign Office ministers three months before he announced his decision not to prosecute MI6, an agency overseen by those ministers

Brown University Studies Find US Post-9/11 Aggression Killed, Displaced Up To 65 Million People

 

According to varying estimates, the United States of America has not been at war for only 13-17 years of its existence of 247 years. That would mean that 93-95% of its time as an independent nation, the belligerent thalassocracy has been at war. And this is only if we use the traditional definition of what war is.

 

On the other hand, if we were to use the definition of hybrid war that also includes coups and other forms of meddling, only then we would get the idea of the true scale of US aggression against the world. Such an endeavor would certainly require an academic approach and precisely this is what Providence-based Brown University did in its recent study that focused on the consequences of US wars in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.

 

The results of the study are truly staggering.

 

According to the University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, illegal and truly unprovoked US invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan in the last over two decades have resulted in at least 4.5-4.6 million deaths, while anywhere between 38 and 60 million people have been displaced.

 

Unfortunately, this is not the end of it. The study also found that at least 7.6 million children under five are starving today due to the consequences of US aggressions and invasions. The style of research and the sources used by Brown University are certainly up for debate, as the numbers could easily be far worse. However, their findings are certainly not to be ignored.

 

The study claims that nearly a million people lost their lives in the fighting, while another 3.6 to 3.7 million were indirect deaths in connection to health and economic consequences caused by the wars. These include diseases, malnutrition, as well as the destruction of infrastructure and other crucial factors of economic and societal development. However, it should be noted that the claim about one million direct casualties in all US post-9/11 wars is highly debatable, as Iraq alone is estimated to have had at least one million dead as a result of the unprovoked US invasion in 2003, which was the second in only 12 years, although Washington DC never stopped air attacks in the meantime.

 

The study was conducted under the auspices of Brown University’s Cost of Wars program and also looked into the consequences of US aggression in Africa, particularly in Libya and Somalia. As previously mentioned, the report found that the countries affected by unprovoked American wars still have at least 7.6 million children under the age of five “who are suffering from acute malnutrition, meaning they are not getting enough food, literally wasting to skin and bones, putting these children at greater risk of death“. In some places, this includes a mind-blowing percentage of all children, with close to 50% of all Afghan kids currently malnourished, while it’s even worse in Yemen, where that number is almost 60%.

 

In another study published in 2021, conducted in the aftermath of the US defeat and humiliating expulsion from Afghanistan, the Cost of Wars project found that the US post-9/11 wars resulted in the displacement of at least 38 million people. This staggering number is higher than in any conflict in the 20th century with the notable exception of the Second World War. However, according to the authors themselves, “the 38 million is a very conservative estimate, as the total displaced by the U.S. post-9/11 wars could be closer to 49–60 million, which would rival World War II displacement”. In other words, the consequences of US aggression against the world are not far from those resulting from Nazi German invasions.

Biden White House Calls for Banning 'Extremist Websites' and 'Hate Speech' in 'National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism'

 

The Biden White House on Thursday called on "all online platforms" to ban "extremist websites," ban "hate speech" and institute "zero tolerance" policies to protect Jews from antisemitism.

 

The bold and highly illegal censorship effort forms the cornerstone of the White House's new "National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism."

 

"To counter hate and antisemitism," the plan says, "the Biden-Harris Administration encourages all online platforms to independently commit to the following actions":

 

- Ensure terms of service and community standards explicitly cover antisemitism. The Administration commends platforms with terms of service and community standards that establish "zero-tolerance" for hate speech, including antisemitism. All online platforms are encouraged to adopt zero-tolerance terms of service and community standards.

 

- Permanently ban repeat offenders, both personal accounts and extremist websites.

 

- Invest in the human and technical resources necessary to enable vigorous and timely enforcement of their terms of service and community standards. Currently, many platforms do not adequately invest in enforcement of their terms of service and community standards, and numerous platforms have recently shed significant portions of their trust and safety workforces, leading to documented increases in hate speech on their platforms.

 

- Improve capabilities to stop recommending and de-rank antisemitic and other hateful content. Extensive research has shown that online platforms’ algorithmic recommendation and ranking systems—depending on the incentives driving them—can amplify and spread extremist and antisemitic content.

 

- Increase the transparency of their algorithmic recommendation systems and data, and allow for public interest research to ascertain how these systems amplify and spread hate speech and antisemitic content to inform better content moderation tools and approaches. Antisemitism should be treated as a distinct category in transparency reports, and platforms should report on the volume of antisemitic content adjudicated on platforms.

 

- Encourage and support trusted community moderators who receive dedicated, ongoing training in hate speech and bias, including antisemitism and its tropes.

 

- Use their reach to raise awareness of antisemitism while also ensuring users have credible and factual information about Jewish people, antisemitism, and the Holocaust.

 

- Engage frequently with civil society groups that actively monitor antisemitism in media and online to stay abreast of the latest developments.

 

- Listen to the concerns of Jewish communities around the world to understand how Jewish users experience antisemitism and hate on their platforms and ensure antisemitism is understood, recognized, and properly addressed.

 

- Establish relationships with Jewish community organizations to share best practices related to reporting hate speech and utilizing platforms to lift up Jewish stories.

 

No other group is afforded any such privileges.

Democrat Congresswoman Went to Jeffrey Epstein’s Home

 

Virgin Islands officials helped Epstein hide his crimes, filing alleges

 

A U.S. congresswoman went to Jeffrey Epstein’s home in 2018, within a year of his being arrested on charges of child sex trafficking.

 

Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.) went to Epstein’s townhouse in September 2018, she acknowledged during a deposition this month.

 

“I recall going to the address, ringing the bell … someone opening the door,” Plaskett said as she answered questions under oath on May 8.

 

“He was sitting at a very long table having a conversation with another gentleman,” Plaskett added later. That man left, and Plaskett sat down and spoke to Epstein for a period of time that she said was less than one hour.

 

They spoke about “Virgin Islands’ politics, national politics, campaign contributions,” according to Plaskett.

 

Epstein was one of a list of individuals from whom Plaskett planned to ask for money for herself, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), or both. She was supposed to raise a certain amount, somewhere around $250,000, for the DCCC, which helps get Democrat congressional candidates elected.

 

Plaskett asked Epstein for the maximum donation an individual could give, about $30,000. Epstein agreed and did not ask for anything in return, Plaskett said. But the donation was rejected.

 

The DCCC conveyed that Epstein “had not passed their vetting,” Plaskett said. The DCCC did not pick up the phone or return a voicemail.

 

Epstein was a convicted sex offender starting in 2008, when he pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution.

 

Plaskett acknowledged being aware of Epstein’s criminal past but said she didn’t recall when she first learned of it. The knowledge may have come to her before the meeting. Plaskett said she saw no women in Epstein’s home other than Lesley Groff, one of Epstein’s associates.

 

Plaskett’s campaign received more than $30,000 from Epstein and people linked to him, such as Darren Indyke, a lawyer for one of his Virgin Island-brd businesses, and Groff.

 

Epstein pushed associates to donate to Plaskett, writing to one that “we would have a friend in Stacey” if she were elected, according to an email obtained by JPMorgan Chase. Plaskett’s deposition was taken as part of a civil case against the bank.

 

Plaskett in 2019 vowed to donate an amount equal to that which she received to Virgin Islands organizations supporting women and children.

 

“My litmus test for accepting campaign contributions has been brd on whether the donor’s money was made legally or by ill-gotten means and that the contributor will not ask of me or my Congressional office for any special favors. All my contributions have passed that test,” she said at the time. “In this case, however, I am uncomfortable having received money from someone who has been accused of these egregious actions multiple times.”

US has been preparing Ukrainian counteroffensive ‘for months’ – Nuland

 

The “Maidan midwife” confirmed Washington’s role in the conflict at the Kiev Security Forum

 

US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland told an audience in Kiev on Thursday that Washington has been helping plan the Ukrainian ‘counteroffensive’ against Russia for almost half a year.

 

“Even as you plan for the counteroffensive, which we have been working on with you for some 4-5 months, we are already beginning our discussions with [the] Ukrainian government and with friends in Kiev – both on the civilian side and on the military side – about Ukraine’s long-term future,” Nuland told the Kiev Security Forum via video-link from the State Department.

 

She added that the attack will be “likely starting and moving concurrently” with events such as the NATO summit in Lithuania, scheduled for July 11.

 

According to Nuland, the US is also planning for Ukraine’s future military to deter Russia, so “wherever and however this ends – one year, six years, 16 years – we are not doing this again.” She also painted a rosy picture of a future in which Ukraine would be the “engine of Europe’s revitalization” and “setting the democratic example… for the whole world.”

 

The forum was organized by the Open Ukraine Foundation, established by former Ukrainian PM Arseny Yatseniuk, who moderated the panel at which Nuland spoke. Another panel was co-sponsored by the Atlantic Council, whose officials argued that “transatlantic unity and robust support can help Ukraine defeat Russia and renew European security.”

 

The government in Kiev had been heralding a major “counteroffensive” for months. President Vladimir Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials have argued that they didn’t have quite enough weapons, ammunition and equipment and needed the West to send more. As of Thursday, two of Zelensky’s advisers gave public statements implying the offensive hasn’t started yet, while a third insisted it was already underway along the 1,500-kilometer long frontline.

 

Nuland famously traveled to Kiev to support the Maidan protests in December 2013, handing out pastries to the crowds demanding a pact with the EU. In a February 2014 phone call, she discussed the composition of the future Ukrainian government with US ambassador to Kiev Geoffrey Pyatt, infamously declaring “f**k the EU”. Three weeks later, nationalists would violently seize power from President Viktor Yanukovich, triggering events that would lead to Crimea rejoining Russia and clashes in the Donbass.

 

Returning to the State Department in 2021 as part of Joe Biden’s administration, Nuland was once again put in charge of Ukraine policy. Speaking at a Carnegie Foundation event in February, she said the conquest of Crimea and regime change in Moscow would be the ideal outcome of the current conflict. Her husband is Robert Kagan, a co-founder of the neoconservative Project for an American Century and her sister-in-law, Kimberly Kagan, runs the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a Washington advocacy group frequently quoted by Western media about the situation on the Ukraine frontline.

Hobbs Chief Of Staff Resigns Effectively Immediately

 

On Thursday, Governor Katie Hobbs announced that her chief of staff, Allie Bones, resigned. The resignation of Bones follows the resignation of Hobbs’ Communications Director, her Deputy Communications Director and her Legislative Affairs Director.

 

Capital insiders say the departure of Bones means that “the real Governor has jumped the sinking ship.”

 

According to the announcement, Bones is leaving her position to “pursue new opportunities.”

 

“Ally Bones exemplifies the true meaning of public servant, and I am incredibly grateful for her leadership throughout the transition, and this first legislative session of my administration,” said Hobbs in a press release. “Her goal was to build a team that could work across the aisle to navigate divided government, and she accomplished that. With a successful bipartisan budget behind us, she is ready for her next endeavor, and I wish her nothing but the best.”

 

Bones offered her resignation effective immediately. The Governor’s Office says a new Chief of Staff will be named next week.

 

In April, Hobbs replaced her Communications Director, Murphy Hebert. Herbert left the administration after Hobbs’ former and disgraced spokesperson Josselyn Berry was forced to resign for a violent message on Twitter sent the same day of the tragic mass shooting in Nashville by a transman.

 

Hobbs was forced to seek the resignation of Berry after she tweeted an image that appeared to advocate gun violence toward people she deemed to be “transphobes” mere hours after a transman killed three adults and three young children at a Christian school in Nashville.

 

In February, the Arizona Senate rejected the nomination by Hobbs of Dr. Theresa Cullen to head up the Arizona Department of Health Services. The Senate’s vote was interrupted by Minority Leader Sen. Senator Raquel Terán, claiming the Governor rescinded the nomination.

 

In February, after conceding her crack crew had failed to do “adequate vetting,” Hobbs demanded the resignation of Matthew Stewart, who she had earlier nominated to head up the Department of Child Services.

 

Hobbs was then put in the awkward position of asking a man she had fired from the Director of the Department of Economic Security position, Michael Wisehart, to lead the Department of Child Services (DCS).

 

Hobbs pulled Stewart’s nomination after Senate Republicans found his troubling history, which included being reprimanded for “insubordination and unauthorized absence” when he was a DCS training operations supervisor in 2020. At the time, Stewart resigned from his position immediately before an intended suspension could be issued to him.

 

In late April, an appointee of Hobbs withdrew her name just days before her confirmation hearing to the Maricopa County Commission on Trial Court Appointments was set to take place. Catherine Sigmon was named to the post by Hobbs roughly four months ago but resigned her position as part of abandoning her nomination, after “disturbing revelations came to light,” according to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

 

According to her LinkedIn profile, Sigmon is the finance manager and co-founder of the controversial anti-school choice group, Save Our Schools in Arizona.

Commonest Lies told by Climate Change Psychos

 

Here are just a few of the most egregious lies which are told by this miserable band of lunatics:

 

They claim that the climate has changed and is changing rapidly. What they don’t bother to mention is that the climate has always changed. It has changed for billions of years and will doubtless continue to do so. Although a good many lies are told there is no evidence that these changes have been exacerbated or accelerated by cows, motor cars or aeroplanes.

They claim that the world is heading for a crisis. They have been forecasting this for decades. Every specific forecast has come and gone without anything happening. Claims that the sea is going to rise to dangerous levels are entirely fictitious and are nothing more than reckless, irresponsible scare mongering.

No one knows just what damage carbon dioxide emissions may do or how relevant they are. The increase in the amount of carbon dioxide began before oil and gas were in wide use. Human beings themselves are natural producers of carbon dioxide and many of those promoting the climate change myth believe that the answer is to reduce the world’s population from around 8 billion down to 500 million.

It is not true that all or even most climate scientists agree that climate change exists or is a threat. Most independent scientists agree that the media has wildly exaggerated the dangers. A recent paper reported that that just 0.3% of scientists agree that humans are causing climate change. The climate change psychos claim that 97% of scientists support their arguments but this is, quite simply, dangerous nonsense designed to promote a myth. The alleged climate change risks are merely assumptions based on guesses based on wishful thinking. Many of the scientists and writers who promote the climate change myth are receiving huge sums of money from activists, pressure groups and non-governmental organisations. There are hidden agendas behind the myth.

Weather forecasters claim to know what the weather will be like in 50 years’ time. This is odd because they admit that forecasting a few weeks ahead is difficult and much of the time they seem to have trouble telling us what the weather will be like tomorrow.

They claim that hurricanes and tornadoes are more frequent and stronger. The evidence shows that this is not true. There is absolutely no evidence that hurricanes or tornadoes are stronger or more common. Nor is there any evidence that snowstorms or floods are worse or less than they were decades ago. If there is more flooding of houses it is because houses are built on flood plains or that rivers are not properly dredged.

They claim that wildfires are commoner and more destructive. This is palpably untrue. There are fewer serious wildfire events today than there were decades ago.

They claim that sea levels are rising rapidly and are the cause of coastal erosion. These are lies. Coastal erosion is a common, historical problem and has nothing to do with sea levels. Sea levels have been unaffected by climate change. Modest changes in sea levels are normal and of little consequence.

 

Wind turbines which are widely promoted as an alternative to coal, oil and gas are unreliable and therefore useless. They produce electricity intermittently (only when the wind blows) and they require so much energy to build and maintain that they are energy negative. The energy required to build and maintain the wind turbines comes from oil, gas and coal.

Solar panels are also inefficient and unreliable. No electricity is produced by them when the sun is not out and this means that no electricity is produced at night. Solar panels require huge amounts of land and are remarkably inefficient. They require a good deal of energy to produce and install.

Officer Bryant Williams Identified as DC Cop Who Pushed Trump Supporter Derrick Vargo Off 2-3 Story Ledge on Jan. 6 in What Appears to Be Attempted Murder

 

Four Trump supporters were killed on January 6, 2021, by police action. Derrick Vargo is lucky he was not the fifth.

 

On January 6, 2021, Trump supporter Derrick Vargo was pushed off the ledge of the US Capitol by a DC police officer.

 

Vargo told The Gateway Pundit’s Cara Castronuova in an exclusive interview that he was climbing the wall to fly his Trump flag after being inspired by another rally-goer flying an American flag from a high perch.

 

“Capitol Police tried to murder me,” said Vargo. I am stepping forward to be the voice for those that they killed on January 6th like Ashli Babbitt, Rosanne Boyland and the others who no longer have a voice.”

 

In March Stephen Horn identified Officer Bryant Williams as the DC police officer who pushed Vargo off the ledge in what looks like attempted murder.

 

Horn reported:

 

Court documents released last month reveal the identity of the masked Capitol Police Officer as Bryant Williams. Although many of these facts were brought to my attention by a confidential source, they are verifiable via publicly available material. I am sharing this information because I believe in accountability.

 

(…)

 

Officer Williams is first seen at the foot of this staircase around 1:00 pm, shortly after rioters had overrun the police line at the perimeter of Capitol Grounds…

 

(…)

 

After officers attempt to strike, spray, and grab Vargo, he turns around and begins heading back towards the bottom of the staircase. Just then, the video shows Officer Williams stepping forward and pushing Vargo off the staircase.

 

When Vargo hits the ground, there is an immediate reaction in the crowd below, as many witnessed the incident and believe the police officer is responsible. Shortly after Vargo is carried off on a bicycle rack used as an improvised stretcher, members of the crowd below the staircase begin throwing objects at the police on the landing. Under assault from two directions, these police retreat.
