Biden's DOJ Illegally Bribing States To Pass Gun Confiscation Laws: Lawmakers

Last summer, weak Republicans teamed up with Anti-Gun Democrats to pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

Part of that law included funding for 'red flag laws' nationwide. The reason for this is that the Anti-Gun lobby knows that a national red flag law is totally unconstitutional and would immediately be struck down by federal courts. So instead, they chose to bribe states with federal funds into passing their own 'red flag' laws at the state level, where challenges to the laws could get stuck in court proceedings for years to come.

According to the letter penned by Senator Roger Marshall of Kentucky and Representative Alex Mooney from West Virginia, the Biden Department of Justice has weaponized Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to Illegally bribe states into passing red flag laws.

In the letter, the lawmakers state that the Justice Department gave Federal funding to States that did not meet the criteria for due process.

"The Department of Justice appears to have weaponized the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to illegally fund ineligible red flag laws and bribe pro-gun states into passing gun confiscation laws."

Interestingly, Minnesota passed a red flag law within 100 days of receiving $3.7 Million from this program.

These Federal grants were supposed to only be given to states whose 'red flag' laws met "due process requirements," a term specifically set by one of the bill's Republican authors, Senator John Cornyn of Texas.

When Gun Owners of America pointed out that this provision would be abused and ignored by the government, Republicans who supported the legislation accused GOA of lying.

But now it seems that states that don't have red flag laws at all, – such as West Virginia, Alaska, Kansas, and Arkansas – got millions of dollars towards implementing these sorts of laws in their respective states.

This letter, along with Representative Lauren Boebert's Shall Not Be Infringed Act, which would repeal all the gun control passed by the 117th Congress are just a few of the battles that GOA is fighting for your 2A rights every day on Capitol Hill.

Terror attack outside Syrian capital leaves over two dozen casualties

The bombing took place as Shia worshippers prepared to commemorate Ashura at the Sayyida Zaynab shrine

At least six were killed and over 20 wounded on the evening of 27 July after a massive explosion near the Shrine of Sayyida Zaynab on the outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus, coming just one day ahead of Ashura.

According to Syria’s Interior Ministry, the blast happened after a motorcycle exploded near a car. Earlier reports by state media suggested that a bomb was placed in a taxi cab by unknown assailants.

Women and children were reportedly among the casualties, a Syrian official said.

“A woman was killed, and her three children were injured by the explosion of a bobby-trapped car which hit a site in front of Sayedat Al-Sham hotel in Sayeda Zeinab city in Rif Dimashq,” the opposition-linked war monitor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), cited an official as saying.

Photos and videos on social media showed chaos on the streets as people carried the wounded.

The explosion came just a day ahead of the tenth day of Ashura commemorations, where Shia Muslims remember the death of the Islamic Prophet’s grandson Husayn ibn Ali and the captivity of the Prophet’s granddaughter Sayyida Zaynab in Damascus.

The days leading up to Ashura are a time of mourning, and people make daily visits for prayer at the Sayyida Zaynab shrine.

The brutal attack also comes in the aftermath of regional normalization with the Syrian government, which has stood in the way of Washington’s ambitions in Syria.

Throughout the war on Syria, which began in 2011, western-backed, sectarian-driven extremist groups carried out various bombings and suicide attacks at Sayyida Zaynab shrine.

In 2016, two bombings at the shrine took place within one month of each other, one in January and the other in February. The death toll of both combined attacks was not less than 200.

New CDC director expects COVID vaccine will be like flu shots where you'll 'get your annual COVID shot'

Dr. Mandy Cohen – the new Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – said she expects the COVID vaccine to become an annual inoculation like the flu shot.

Spectrum News asked Cohen if the country is at a point where Americans should get one COVID shot each year.

Cohen responded, "We're just on the precipice of that, so I don’t want to get ahead of where our scientists are here and doing that evaluation work, but yes, we anticipate that COVID will become similar to flu shots, where it is going to be you get your annual flu shot and you get your annual COVID shot."

"That's where we're going to," she continued, and added, "We're not quite there yet."

The CDC director said an official guidance from the U.S. health agency regarding an annual COVID shot should arrive in early or mid-September.

Cohen – the previous secretary of health and human services in North Carolina – said she expects a new COVID booster by the fall.

When asked if the CDC could have done things differently during the COVID-19 pandemic, she replied, "There were some early places where the CDC didn’t perform and execute in the way they needed to."

Cohen said she is concerned about distrust regarding vaccines.

"I'm very worried about parents not vaccinating kids," she said.

On the topic of proposed cuts to the CDC budget, Cohen said, "Just like we have a military to protect us here and around the world, we need a CDC that can protect us. We can’t see those cuts and have the national security assets we need here at the CDC."

Cohen became the CDC director earlier this month following the departure of her predecessor – Dr. Rochelle Walensky.

Earlier this month, Cohen told NBC News the CDC needs to have "an everyday, tactical plan" to "bringing the best evidence that we possibly can" to the public.

She admitted that the CDC had lost trust during the pandemic, but promised transparency at the health agency under her watch.

Cohen added, "You're going to hear us with some key messages, making sure that folks hear them over and over."

The outlet said Cohen's team in North Carolina "sometimes turned to faith leaders, NASCAR drivers, even TikTok influencers to get scientific information to the public."

NBC News said of Cohen, "But she works hard to focus instead on re-infusing a spark back into the work done at the CDC. On her first day, she played Alicia Keys and other music in the lobby to greet her new co-workers."

Hunter Biden’s laptop full of secret agreements and contracts with foreign business partners

Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop is filled with contracts and agreements between him and foreign business partners that could shine new light on his business dealings, and potentially implicate his father, insiders around the first son told The Post.

Hundreds of documents are littered among the tens of thousands of emails contained on the laptop — but the files were not downloaded onto the device, and investigators cannot open most of them.

During his father’s vice presidency and after, Hunter Biden and his family made millions of dollars from foreign sources trading on the family name, according to whistleblowers and bank records unearthed by the House Oversight Committee.

Through much of the wheeling and dealing — Hunter Biden was a crack addict and alcoholic.

His web of businesses first came to light after a series of New York Post stories in October 2020 sourced from a laptop he abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop.

Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, in April 2014.

During his father’s vice presidency, he netted $83,333 per month.

Hunter’s business ties to Burisma are elaborated on agreements that cannot be opened from the hard drive.

Hunter Biden and his fellow Burisma Board member Devon Archer were tagged on a November 2015 email from Eric Schwerin, the head of Hunter Biden’s investment firm Rosemont Seneca, to Vadym Pozharsky, the chief financial officer of Burisma.

“Attached is the agreement executed by BS,” he said using a shorthand for Burisma’s lobbying firm Blue Star Strategies.

“I know Devon gave you the immediate scope of work that BS is working on between now and the end of December. We expect a download on the meetings, etc. that they have made so far and will get that to you shortly,” Schwerin said.

As a recipient of this email, the file would presumably still be in Archer’s possession.

Hunter started a business relationship with CEFC and its chairman Ye Jianming before being arrested in March 2018.

Archer is scheduled to speak to the House Oversight Committee on Monday and is expected to testify that Hunter Biden put his father on the phone with business partners more than two dozen times.

“When Hunter takes money via an executed agreement from Burisma . . . or some other some company and delivers a connection to Joe Biden that should be a felony violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” said Jim Hanson, a global consulting executive who has studied the hard drive.

Sources close to GOP Oversight Committee members say Republicans are interested in sizing up Archer as a potential impeachment witness if and when the party decides to pull the trigger and impeach President Biden.

“It’s our job to gather the facts, and documents like this are important for us to get to the bottom of,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who sits on the committee.

In March 2016 Hunter Biden and business partners Rob Walker and James Gilliar circulated a cryptic document called “H to Zang Draft.”

The H stood for Hunter, while the Zang almost certainly represented Jianjun Zang — an executive director of the Chinese energy giant CEFC.

“Take a look and let me know. Very simple. Once ok’d. I’ll send to Joan to sign?” Rob Walker wrote to Hunter.

Joan Peugh was Hunter Biden’s office manager.

“Yes.”

Hunter Biden responded.

OpenAI CEO launches global “Worldcoin” cryptocurrency to facilitate Universal Basic Income (UBI) and globalist authoritarian control

The new "Worldcoin" digital cryptocurrency token for global identification has officially launched, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the guy behind it, is thrilled about its implications for launching a global Universal Basic Income (UBI) program.

As we recently reported, the purpose of Worldcoin is to verify the identities of internet users by scanning their irises to determine whether or not they are real people. This "World ID" program, as they are calling it, is part of a "global digital passport" system for instant verification.

According to Altman, his company is strategically placing "orbs" all around the world to scan people's eyeballs. Users will need to make an in-person appointment to access the "orbs," which are silver balls designed to "verify humanness and uniqueness in a secure and privacy-preserving way."

While still in beta, some two million users signed up for Worldcoin. The company's global orb deployment is now being expanded to 35 cities in 20 countries, according to reports. Once registered, some members in some countries will gain immediate access to Worldcoin's cryptocurrency token, known as WLD.

"Looks like it's a combination of a global digital ID, crypto currency, AI and UBI?" tweeted investor and real estate guru George Gammon in condemnation of the technology. "It's literally not possible to create something that sounds worse."

The new cashless society will rely on ID verification programs like Worldcoin to disburse payments

The World ID program could be used to help differentiate between humans and artificial intelligence robots that look like humans. The AI takeover is at the heart of the Hollywood writers' and actors' unions protests as entertainment industry workers fight for fair pay amid the growing use of AI actors and voiceovers.

We are told the World ID is a safe platform that does its job "while preserving privacy." The project says it could someday soon "enable global democratic processes, and eventually show a potential path to AI-funded UBI."

"People will be supercharged by AI, which will have massive economic implications," Altman said in an interview with Reuters, adding that UBI is a prominent example of that.

For instance, World ID could be used to verify that social security benefits recipients are real human beings entitled to payments, and not thieves or their AI robots pretending to be humans.

Altman went on in the Reuters interview to state that global UBI will not be implemented until "very far in the future," so there is still time to figure out how World ID and Worldcoin can be implemented to support it.

In the comments, one person wrote that rich people like Altman will surely not have to participate in such an invasive program, which is clearly designed for the unwashed masses.

"Somehow, I suspect rich people like Sam Altman will make themselves immune from having to share their own 'income inequality' with others not so fortunate," this person added.

"It'll be everyone else in the upper-middle class down that will have to share the difference between their income and the poor. Those like Sam Altman, celebrities, politicians, CEOs, Wall Street folks, etc. will continue getting richer."

Another wrote that the simple solution to overcoming the Worldcoin invasion is to "just say no" to it.

"It seems to be the exact same thing as the digital ruble," wrote another about how similar programs in other countries are also being unleashed at the very same time as Worldcoin.

Rapper Travis Scott Posts Photo of Terrified Child With Markings to Promote New Album

Controversial hip hop artist, Travis Scott, has launched his new album UTOPIA but sinister photos the artist released before his album release are overshadowing his new musical production.

Just before releasing his album, Scott posted two photos on Instagram of young boys without their shirts on and one of the boys featured on his Instagram had marker scribbles all over his face.

Content creator Sneako pointed out the satanic imagery and wrote in a tweet “They are telling you they worship satan. And you allow them to program you?”

In 2021, Travis Scott received national headlines after 10 people died at his concert in Houston, Texas.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Scott was sued for over $2 billion dollars after he refused to stop his concert after watching concert goers fall to the ground and get trampled to death.

At one point during his concert there was even an ambulance in the crowd and Scott still disregarded it.

Tennessee Officials Disclose New Information on Death of Former Gov. Larry Hogan Official Roy McGrath: A Simultaneous Self-inflicted Gunshot and FBI Fire

Roy McGrath, a former high-ranking aide to former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan who had fallen from grace, died from a headshot wound inflicted simultaneously by himself and an FBI agent, Tennessee prosecutors confirmed.

The Gateway Pundit reported on March 14th, U.S. District Court Judge Deborah Boardman issued an arrest warrant for Roy McGrath who previously served as the Chief of Staff for Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan.

The arrest warrant stemmed from McGrath failing to appear in Federal Court on Monday to face fraud and theft charges.

Roy McGrath is facing an 8-count federal indictment.

“Charges include wire fraud, including securing a $233,648 severance payment equal to one year of salary as the head of Maryland Environmental Service. He also faces fraud and embezzlement charges connected to roughly $170,000 in expenses. McGrath has pleaded not guilty.” – Fox News reported.

The FBI raided McGrath’s home two days after he failed to appear in court, but lawmakers found no sign of him. McGrath’s wife was home at the time of the raid.

After being a fugitive for over two weeks, the FBI placed McGrath on their Most Wanted List.

Per its site, the FBI offers a $10,000 reward for any information leading to McGrath’s arrest.

On April 4, McGrath was found by authorities in the Knoxville, Tennessee, area and was killed during a confrontation with federal agents.

It was initially unclear whether McGrath’s fatal injury was self-inflicted or came during an exchange with FBI agents.

Ukraine’s baby factories rake in record profits amid chaos of war

While average Ukrainians suffer amid NATO’s proxy war against Russia, business is booming for the surrogate baby industry, which requires a steady supply of healthy but financially desperate women to lease their wombs to affluent foreigners.

Surrogates “have to be from poorer places than our clients,” explained the medical director of Kiev’s largest “baby factory.”

Ihor Pechonoha of the Swiss-based BioTexCom says the business model that has helped him build one of the most profitable surrogacy companies in the world is simple exploitation: “We are looking for women in the former Soviet republics because, logically, [the women] have to be from poorer places than our clients.”

It is no surprise then that BioTexCom has turned to Ukraine for an almost endless pool of young women willing to sell their wombs to ease their financial distress. Eight years of civil war followed by a proxy war between NATO nations and Russia has plunged Ukraine into economic disaster. As its citizens sank into poverty, the country swiftly emerged as the international epicenter for surrogacy, and now controls at least a quarter of the global market. With the rise of the burgeoning industry, a seedy medical underworld filled with patient abuse and corruption has taken root as well.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his team have actively encouraged the Western plunder of their war-torn country, inking an investment partnership with the global asset management firm Blackrock, stripping workers of labor protections, and handing state owned companies over to private firms.

But less attention has been paid to Ukraine’s surrogacy industry, which brought over $1.5 billion into the country’s economy in 2018 alone. Since then, the global market for surrogate babies has more than doubled. The industry was valued at over $14 billion last year, and it’s projected to grow by around 25% every year going forward, according to an analysis by Global Market Insights.

As more countries slam the door on the surrogacy industry, Western officials appear to be turning a blind eye to the abuse-ridden business flourishing in a deregulated, politically unstable Ukraine.

Emma Lamberton is a Master of International Development candidate at the University of Pittsburgh who published a paper in Princeton’s Journal of Public and International Affairs on the risks posed to Ukrainian women by the country’s surrogacy industry.

“The main concern of advocates on the ground in Ukraine is that legislators and even news organizations aren’t looking at this as a human rights violation,” Lamberton told The Grayzone.

‘Corruption on a grand scale’: Lawyer X exposed Victorian Police

The Lawyer X scandal revealed Victoria’s legal systems were “much worse” than those in New South Wales and Queensland, says The Australian Victoria Editor Damon Johnston.

“Lawyer X was corruption on a grand scale,” Mr Johnstone told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“This was not just bags of cash being handed around, this was a systemic corruption of the legal system by Victorian Police.

“They spent millions trying to silence the Herald Sun from revealing this – if it was up to Victorian Police we still wouldn’t know about it.”

‘They were rescuing 13-year-olds’: Tragic reality of child sexual exploitation and slavery exposed

Jas Rawlinson recently visited the most infamous red-light districts in South East Asia. What she saw left her “heart cracked open”.

Grim reality of European summer

Grim reality of European summer

Inside a large glass box, dozens of women sat haphazardly around small tables cramped with tubes and palettes of makeup. I watched on, my eyes peering through the curtainless windows as each woman went through her routine for the night. A line of contour here, a scattering of blush there. A yellow dress draped atop a pink plastic chair, and row after row of thick black fringes. It was like a zoo; a glass cage filled with female bodies, each of them there for the viewing of any stranger who happened to pass. Technically, it was a ‘beauty room’. A space where they could be watched – without a shred of privacy – by the hundreds of male ‘sex tourists’ who surrounded me. But in reality, I knew what these women truly were to the men who viewed them. Entertainment … a body without a soul.

It was a Saturday night and I was standing inside one of the most infamous red-light districts in South East Asia, a place proudly marketed as “the world’s largest adult playground”. It was a three-level, U-shaped plaza, filled with hordes of women and girls, some of whom were as young as 13, presented solely for the sexual gratification of men. I shuddered and turned my eyes toward the closed doors of a club just beyond where I stood; a place where, only weeks earlier, 22 girls had been rescued from exploitation by an anti-human trafficking organisation. Nineteen of those girls were underage.

Yet, the vast majority of people would never know this … in fact, it seemed as though no one cared. All around me, dozens of other bars continued on as normal, their walls thumping with loud pop and electronic music, as young women – even some with swollen pregnant bellies – stood by the doorway with numbers pinned to their bras or crop tops. All afternoon and night, these places carried on as normal, serving women and girls to the highest bidder – sometimes for as little as a packet of fries. All along the footpaths, and on every level of the plaza, men sat around laughing and grinning; some with a beer in one hand and a teen in the other.

In my head, I remembered the words of one of the anti-trafficking workers who I’d spoken to earlier that day. “Some of the girls we’ve met, particularly in smaller karaoke bars, have been sold for as little as $2.”

I wanted to vomit.

How many other girls are suffering right now, waiting for someone to offer them a hand to escape to a safer life? I wondered. How many girls are hiding their fear behind fake smiles, counting the seconds until this client leaves, and the next arrives?

I’d only been in Thailand for a few days, and my entire world view had shifted so vastly in that time. I’d known when I’d boarded the plane with a small group of strangers, the 10 of us heading to South East Asia to learn more about human trafficking with a well-known organisation, that I’d be forced way outside my comfort zone. I’d been prepared to have my heart cracked open as I spent time in red-light districts and rescue homes where girls had been set free and given the tools to thrive. But this place, my god. This place was like nothing I’d ever experienced.

All around us, women seemed to be suffering. Mothers sat on filthy streets with their children between their legs as they begged for money. Pregnant girls and ‘Lady Boys’ stood in sky-high heels, trying to convince men to step inside the pubs with them – where in many cases, they’d then be disrespected, degraded, and exploited – sometimes, for the cost of a small meal. And now, as I was seeing, women were even crammed into glass ‘viewing’ rooms as they did their makeup. It was a visual assault in every single way but what affected me the most was the overwhelming burden of heaviness and depression in the air. The toxic atmosphere was so thick that it was tangible.

The Rothschild’s representative at 1913 Federal Reserve, the CFR,+ I.G. Farben

Paul Warburg was probably the most important person at the 1913 Federal Reserve establishment meeting on Jekyll Island because of his knowledge of banking as it was practiced in Europe. He was a partner in Kuhn, Loeb & Company and was a representative of the Rothschild banking dynasty in England and France where he maintained a very close working relationships throughout his entire career with his brother, Max Warburg, who was the head of the Warburg banking consortium in Germany and the Netherlands. He was also one of the wealthiest men in the world at the time.

He also called for and attended the founding of the Council on Foreign Relations in 1921. The CFR being another tool of the global elite used to oversee US foreign policy.

Wikipedia currently suffices fine for the low down on Warburg.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Warburg

Death[edit]

Warburg died at his home in New York City on January 24, 1932, and was buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York. At the time of his death he was chairman of the Manhattan Company and a director of the Bank of Manhattan Trust Company, Farmers Loan and Trust Company of New York, First National Bank of Boston, Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad, Western Union Telegraph Company, American I.G. Chemical Company, Agfa Ansco Corporation, and Warburg & Company of Amsterdam.

Note this entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_IG

Yes, you guessed it. Its the very same I.G., as in I.G. Farben, that fueled Hitler’s war machine.

Excerpt:

American IG owes its genesis to a German business conglomerate, namely, Interessens-Gemeinschaft Farbenindustrie AG, or IG Farben for short. The business, along with the industrial empire that “IG” controlled and commanded, has been described as “a state within a state.”

The Farben cartel was created in 1925, when Hermann Schmitz, the master organizer, with Wall Street financial assistance, created the giant chemical corporation, combining six already giant German chemical companies — Badische Anilin- und Sodafabrik Ludwigshafen (BASF), Bayer, Agfa, Hoechst, Weiler-ter-Meer, and Griesheim-Elektron. These six companies were merged into Interessen-Gemeinschaft Farbenindustrie AG or, IG Farben, for short.

In year 1928, the American holdings of IG Farben, namely, the American branches of Bayer Company, General Aniline Works, Agfa Ansco, and Winthrop Chemical Company, were organized into a Swiss holding company, which was named Internationale Gesellschaft für Chemische Unternehmungen AG or IG Chemie, in short. The controlling interest of this entity rested with IG Farben in Germany. In the following year, 1929, just a decade before the outbreak of the Second World War, these American firms merged to become American IG Chemical Corporation, or American IG, later renamed General Aniline & Film.
