FERBRACHE: You May Have Missed A Startling Part Of Wray’s Testimony On Backdoor Gun Control

FBI Director Chris Wray was again House Republicans‘ favorite punching bag. With daily revelations from House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Charles Grassley (R-IA) in the Senate virtually cementing Hunter Biden’s role as a major influence peddler to foreign countries, including China, Republicans want answers from the FBI as evidence on Hunter seems to implicate the President.

Wray’s interrogators went after him on a smorgasbord of allegations of the FBI violating its own policies and procedures, i.e., the Durham Report, and egregious Constitutional violations of citizens’ rights. Wray’s evasiveness enraged Republicans seeking answers to, among other concerns:

Whether the FBI used undercover agents or directed sources to, maybe enthusiastically, participate in the Jan. 6 riot, and what is the Bureau’s alleged relationship with the ubiquitous Ray Epps? In another curiously timed development, Epp’s attorney indicated the government now intends to charge his client relative to the Jan. 6 event.

What is the status of the suspected pipe bomber who left devices at both the RNC and DNC on Jan. 6? A whistleblower reported that investigators identified a car associated with a suspect but did not pursue the lead.

And don’t even get me started on the FBI and Justice Department’s handling (or not) of the infamous FD-1023, or Wray’s absurd claim that the Bureau did not engage in censorship with social media but simply offered suggestions, utterly belied by Judge Terry Doughty’s cogent opinion in Missouri v. Biden.

But to me, the most startling admission by the FBI Director were his responses to the FBI’s collection of transaction records from US financial institutions. During Wray’s appearance, Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie advised Wray,“George Hill, former FBI supervisory intelligence analyst in the Boston field office, told us that the Bank of America, with no legal process, gave to the FBI gun purchase records with no geographical boundaries for anybody that was a Bank of America customer. Is that true?”

“A number of business community partners all the time, including financial institutions, share information with us about possible criminal activity, and my understanding is that that’s fully lawful”, Wray responded. Wow.

So, yes, there is an established process for private financial institutions to provide the government, such as regulators and law enforcement, customer records under narrowly crafted provisions, one being indicia of criminal activity. The operative term here is “criminal activity.”

Pursuant to the Department of Treasury’s Bank Secrecy Act, financial institutions and banks are required to make formal referrals to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), when, after conducting due diligence, the bank believes that a crime such as fraud or money launder may have occurred at their institution. These routine referrals are called SARs or Suspicious Activity Reports.

Boston’s Democrat Mayor Compiles List of Her Critics’ Names and Gives it to Police

Boston’s Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu is facing criticism for compiling a list of her ctitics and handing it over to the police.

You know, for all of the Democrats’ talk about authoritarians and fascism, they sure seem to like using those concepts as political tactics.

It’s all projection, of course.

FOX News reports:

Boston mayor Michelle Wu under fire after sending list of critics and protesters to police

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, a Democrat, is facing criticism for “Nixonian tactics” after her administration admitted to creating a list of her most vocal critics and providing it to local authorities.

“The list was made in response to a request from the Boston Police Department after the Mayor had been harassed and physically intimidated by individuals for several months outside her home, at city functions such as the annual neighborhood parks coffee hours, and at other public events,” Wu spokesman Ricardo Patron said in a statement to the Boston Herald.

The acknowledgment by the administration that it had compiled the document came after the list was uncovered in an email obtained through a public records request by Wu’s opponents, the outlet noted.

The tactics used by the administration raise concern over whether Wu and her administration are attempting to silence or intimidate her critics, many of whom have protested outside of her home.

“The request (from police) came after many of the individuals on the list repeatedly impeded the Dorchester Day Parade to harass Mayor Wu and her family and staff, yelling through megaphones at her and her children for nearly ninety minutes as they marched in the parade despite being asked by parade organizers to leave the parade route,” Patron said, according to the Herald.

She should try walking a mile in Justice Brett Kavanugh’s shoes.

Chinese investors, a Samoan high chief plot a cryptocurrency hub in paradise

At a slickly choreographed event in Hong Kong on April 26, the island nation of Samoa was introduced to a vision of its future: cryptocurrency and stock trading epicenter of the South Pacific.

Chinese officials and businessmen made speeches – their resumes beamed onto a giant screen at the luxury St. Regis hotel – as they celebrated the official launch of the Samoa Digital Asset Exchange, Samoa Stock Exchange and Oceania Blockchain Special Economic Zone.

A sprinkling of Westerners with finance industry backgrounds were introduced as advisers. Also revealed were a chief technology officer, chairmen, a chief operating officer and bright, generically abstract logos for each of the companies.

Mulipola Anarosa Ale Molioo, Samoa’s finance minister, spoke and posed for photos. The Samoan coat of arms, representing state authority and meant only for official use, was plastered and projected throughout the venue.

But little more than a month later, after photographs from the Chinese event circulated online and caused disbelief in Samoa, Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata’afa was on a damage-control footing.

The Samoan government had not given any endorsement or approval for the ventures, which were only proposals, said a statement from her office.

The cryptocurrency episode was not the only controversy over poor governance and lack of transparency that Fiame was battling.

Days later, she scuttled the first direct flights between China and Samoa after criticism of cabinet minister Laauli Leuatea Schmidt’s involvement in Samoa Royal Tours.

In conjunction with a Hong Kong travel company, it controlled tours in Samoa for the influx of Chinese visitors that began in late May. Samoa Royal Tours was registered as a company in Samoa in April and its shareholder was one of Laauli’s daughters, Rosary Leilua.

BenarNews has found that Laauli, one of Samoa’s most powerful politicians, is also linked to the effort to make Samoa a South Pacific crypto-finance center and that the cryptocurrency and Chinese tourism ventures overlap in other ways. Chinese businessmen involved in the effort to bring more Chinese tourists to Samoa also hold key positions in the stock exchange and cryptocurrency ventures.

Alabama Lawmaker Blocks Pentagon Budget Moves to Force Decision on Space Command Basing

An Alabama lawmaker is holding up the military's ability to move around budgeted funds and cover funding shortfalls because the Air Force hasn't announced whether U.S. Space Command will be permanently located in his state.

The move by Rep. Mike Rogers, the Republican chairman of the powerful House Armed Services Committee, has put the Air Force in a bind as it faces a personnel funding shortfall and looks to extend some deployments and pause some bonuses. Rogers said Friday he is holding up reprogramming requests that could relieve the money woes because the service hasn't confirmed the command's move to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville.

A final basing decision for the command headquarters, now temporarily located at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado, has languished for the past two and half years despite an announcement in the waning days of the Trump administration that Alabama was the preferred location as lawmakers wrangle over having the prestige, funding and jobs of a military command in their states.

Despite telling some news outlets earlier in the week that accusations of him holding up reprogramming requests over the Space Command basing decision were a "misrepresentation of the HASC processes," asked Friday by Military.com if that's what he's doing, Rogers replied, "I am."

"All the Air Force has got to do is make an announcement," Rogers said. "I don't care what the announcement is. Make an announcement. They've had 13 months since the inspector general finished reviewing it and said there was no political interference. Make an announcement."

Rogers' decision to hold up reprogramming requests, a move where the Pentagon seeks congressional approval to shuffle around its appropriated funds, comes as the Air Force has announced it is pausing some duty assignments and reenlistment and retention bonuses, as well as extending some deployments due to fears of running out of money in the personnel budget.

By policy and tradition, the Pentagon seeks approval from the leaders of the House and Senate armed services and appropriations committees before moving any money between accounts. But there is no law that requires the department to get approval first, as famously demonstrated when the Trump administration raided Pentagon coffers to fund its border wall despite congressional opposition.

While the Air Force's announcement on personnel shortfalls is the first visible effect of Rogers' hold, hundreds of millions of dollars in reprogramming requests across the military branches are reportedly being delayed, including funding for weapons testing and shipyard maintenance, according to a memo obtained by CQ Roll Call.

Leading gender dysphoria expert lauded for his work on sexual orientation says he has been censored after authoring report which found girls feel 'pressured' into declaring they are trans

J Michael Bailey, 66, has been lauded for his work on sexual orientation

One of the world's leading experts on gender dysphoria claims an academic journal has withdrawn an article he wrote for it due to pressure from trans activists.

J Michael Bailey, 66, professor of psychology at Northwestern University in the US state of Illinois, has published more than 100 academic articles during his 40-year career and has previously been lauded for his 'groundbreaking' work on sexual orientation.

On March 29, his article 'Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria' was published in the academic journal Archives Of Sexual Behavior. The professor co-authored the piece with a mother called 'Suzanne Diaz', whose daughter is transgender. She declined to give her real name for fear of reprisals.

In the report, Prof Bailey concluded that young girls reported feeling 'pressured' into receiving medical transition treatments, including drugs to block puberty, after suffering Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD). ROGD is where children, mostly girls, with no history of gender dysphoria suddenly declare they want to transition to the opposite sex.

Prof Bailey has long argued ROGD is caused by peer pressure and says doctors encourage drastic medical interventions, including mastectomies, which the girls later regret.

'Prison Karen' Ghislaine Maxwell accuses a guard of sexual abuse after staffer confronted her over poor personal hygiene and used vulgar word - as it's claimed she's too scared to shower

Ghislaine Maxwell, 61, was confronted by a female guard after inmates complained that she wasn't showering after coming off the outdoor track

Maxwell, who has filed more than 400 complaints over her conditions in prison and has been branded 'Prison Karen', accused the guard of sexual abuse

'Prison Karen' Ghislaine Maxwell accused a female guard of sexual abuse for confronting the disgraced socialite over her lax personal hygiene, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

The officer pulled Maxwell, 61, aside after fellow inmates complained that she wasn't showering after coming off the outdoor running track at Florida's FCI Tallahassee.

The dressing down is said to have involved coarse language and the term 'hooha' – slang for an intimate female body part – leaving the Oxford-educated prisoner aghast.

'The officer never touched her. It was just a conversation about cleanliness and the need to shower more frequently. But the officer has a mouth like Cardi B and was completely tactless about it,' an insider told DailyMail.com.

'Max insists that it was a personal matter and the officer had no right to bring it up. She reported the encounter because she claims it left her feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed.

'She might seem a little easily shocked for a convicted sex trafficker – but that's Max. She doesn't see herself that way, she acts and talks as if she's innocent.'
