"Like Organized Crime" - Multiple Banks Filed Over 170 'Suspicious Activity' Reports On The Bidens

As the evidence for at least an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden mounts, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and co-host Ben Ferguson discussed the latest bombshell - 170 suspicious activity reports (SARs) from six banks over the past few years - on their podcast with House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY).

As Townhall reports, these SARs are submitted and sent to the Treasury Department when banks "have a strong suspicion" that a crime has been committed, so as to protect the bank.

As Comer emphasized, these are submitted "very seldom."

If someone were to have two, the chairman explained, it would be hard for that person to open up a bank account.

Submitting an SAR, Comer added, also is "inviting the regulators to come in and regulate," which is the last thing banks want.

The 170 reports are thus quite significant.

To paint the scene here, Comer explained that what might trigger an SAR is "a large transaction that comes out of the blue."

Maricopa County Blames Printers for Election Chaos, But the Manufacturer Is Saying Not So Fast

The manufacturer of a large percentage of the ballot printers used in Maricopa County in November’s election took the county to task for trying to shift blame regarding the chaos that occurred on Election Day.

A 2022 General Election Internal Review, dated July 26, identifies the OKI ballot-on-demand printers malfunctioning at many of the 223 vote centers operating in the county on Election Day as the primary culprit, with other issues, including the size of the print image projected on the paper, also contributing to the Election Day problems.

In a Friday email to The Western Journal, a representative from the Maricopa County Elections Department said that 72 percent of the polling locations had OKI printers, 25 percent had Lexmark printers, and 3 percent had both types.

The county’s report stated that between 32 and 34 percent of the ballots printed on Election Day were unable to be read by the tabulators at polling locations due to various issues related to the ballot-on-demand printers, but primarily due to the thickness of the paper used.

Hours-long lines developed at many of the polling sites as tabulators could not read the ballots being printed.

Republican National Committee lawyer Mark Sonnenklar testified at 2022 Arizona GOP nominee Kari Lake’s election challenge trial in December that his team of roving attorneys on Election Day found these problems occurred in 132 locations, or about 59 percent in all.

The county put the figure at 70 locations last fall, according to The Washington Post.

Given that Republicans typically vote 3-to-1 over Democrats on Election Day and the 17,000 votes separating Lake and Democrat Katie Hobbs, Sonnenklar testified, “There’s no question in my mind that had there not been tabulator issues at 132 vote centers, this election would have ended up with Kari Lake winning.”

The county’s 2022 General Election Internal Review findings regarding the OKI printer problems mirror what former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Ruth McGregor concluded in a report she submitted to the county in April.

VoteBeat’s Jen Fifield reported McGregor had been hired by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office to conduct an independent review of what happened on Election Day.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker signs bill allowing non-citizens to become police officers

The bill allows anyone legally authorized to work and carry a firearm under federal law to become a police officer.

Illinois Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill allowing non-citizens to become police officers in the state, sparking outrage from some in the state.

Pritzker signed the bill, HB 3751, into law along with more than 130 other bills on Friday. The bill allows anyone legally authorized to work and carry a firearm under federal law to become a police officer or sheriff's deputy. While the bill states that it is effective Jan. 1, 2024, Pritzker's office says it is effective immediately.

The legislation passed in May with a 37-20 vote in the Senate, as two Democrats joined Republicans to vote against the bill.

House Republicans unanimously supported the bill in a vote to pass it and send it to the Senate. After the Senate amended the bill slightly to allow Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients to apply to become police officers, just 7 out of 40 Republicans opposed the updated legislation in the 118-member chamber.

The Illinois Fraternal Order of Police criticized the legislation earlier this month, according to local outlet KHQA.

"What message does this legislation send when it allows people who do not have legal status to become the enforcers of our laws?" the order asked. "This is a potential crisis of confidence in law enforcement at a time when our officers need all the public confidence they can get."

Illinois Republican state Sen. Chapin Rose voiced opposition to the bill in May when it was debated in his chamber.

"It’s just a fundamentally bad idea," he said. "I don’t care where this individual is from. Australia — they should not be able to arrest a United States citizen on United States soil."

Illinois Republican Rep. Mary Miller tweeted Saturday about the bill: "No sane state would allow foreign nationals to arrest their citizens, this is madness!"

The legislation comes as Illinois is facing a shortage of law enforcement officials.

Ukraine’s controversial surrogacy industry booming – reports

The country’s largest clinic continues to operate, despite allegations of abuse and human trafficking

Ukraine’s surrogacy industry is thriving despite the country’s conflict with Russia, The Guardian recently reported. However, alternate reports have revealed that the industry is riddled with corruption and abuse, yet enjoys the protection of authorities in Kiev and Washington.

Ukraine has long been known as a surrogacy hotspot, with a quarter of the world’s surrogate babies born there in 2018. That percentage has likely increased since Moscow banned the practice for foreign couples last year, with Russian lawmakers citing the need to “prevent the trafficking of our children.”

The fighting in Ukraine hasn’t dulled demand, The Guardian reported on Wednesday, noting that more than 1,000 babies have been born in Ukrainian surrogacy clinics since Russia launched its military operation last year. Most of these clinics’ customers, the newspaper noted, hailed from Italy, Romania, Germany and Britain.

Some 600 of these babies were born at a clinic in Kiev operated by BioTexCom, a German-owned company that promises its wealthy clients “the joy of parenthood.”

For the Ukrainian women who rent out their wombs for BioTexCom’s customers, the process is significantly less joyous. Although these women are paid well – BioTexCom’s medical director, Igor Pechenoha, told The Guardian that surrogates receive around $22,000 for carrying a baby to term – they are often subjected to appalling living conditions during pregnancy.

One Ukrainian woman told Al Jazeera in 2018 that the German firm promised her an apartment for the duration, but forced her to share it with four other pregnant women, and to share a bed for seven months of her pregnancy. Another said that women who left their accommodation and failed to return before a curfew would be subjected to fines, as would women who criticized the company or attempted to communicate with the foreign parents.

“We were treated like cattle and mocked by the doctors,” she said.

BioTexCom’s staff know that they are taking advantage of poor Ukrainian women. Pechenoha admitted to Spanish investigative outlet La Marea in March that his company deliberately looks for women from poorer areas, as “logically, [the women] have to be from poorer places than our clients.”

“I have not met a single woman with a good economic situation who has decided to go through this process out of kindness,” Pechenoha said.

Nuclear war no worse than climate change – Blinken

Warmer temperatures are the number one “existential threat” to the world, the US’ top diplomat has claimed

The threat of nuclear annihilation is no more serious than the threat of climate change, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has claimed. Blinken’s critics argue that Washington is risking nuclear war by arming Ukraine.

In an appearance on 60 Minutes Australia on Sunday, Blinken was asked whether nuclear war or climate change represented “the greater threat to humanity.”

“Well, you can’t, I think, have a hierarchy,” he replied. “There are some things that are front and center…including potential conflict, but there’s no doubt that climate represents an existential challenge to all of us.”

“So for us, this is the existential challenge of our times,” he continued, adding that this “doesn’t mean that in the meantime there are not severe challenges to the international order like Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.”

With July set to go down as the hottest month in history, the UN has called for “accelerated action” to reduce carbon emissions, including a global end to coal use by 2040. Earlier this summer, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry demanded an overhaul of the world’s agricultural system to reduce carbon emissions from farming in a bid to avert “half a degree of warming by mid-century.”

In Ukraine, however, President Joe Biden’s administration continues its policy of open-ended support for Kiev’s military. The US and its NATO allies have armed Ukraine with long-range missiles and are currently discussing the supply of American-made fighter jets to Kiev, amid repeated warnings from Moscow that such weapons dramatically raise the chances of an all-out war between Russia and the West.

Kiev’s forces have also made repeated attempts to target Russian nuclear power plants, the Kremlin warned earlier this month, accusing Ukraine and its sponsors of “nuclear terrorism.”

In the US, warnings about the imminent threat of nuclear conflict have primarily come from the isolationist wing of the Republican Party. Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and former President Donald Trump have been two of the loudest voices calling for an end to the US’ support for Kiev, with Trump declaring in April that the world was facing “the most dangerous period” in history because of nuclear weapons and “incompetent” leadership in Washington.

“Every day this proxy battle continues, we risk global war,” Trump said in March, arguing that “we should support regime change in the United States” to avert this risk.

Pediatrician Fired After Raising Alarm on COVID-19 Vaccines During US Senate Event

A medical expert was terminated by one of her employers after raising concerns about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines during an event held by a U.S. senator, according to newly disclosed documents.

After Dr. Renata Moon (who will appear on “American Thought Leaders” premiering Mon. Aug. 30, 7:30 p.m. ET) testified during the December 2022 event on Capitol Hill, Washington State University officials told her that they were alerting a state medical commission because she allegedly promoted misinformation, one of the documents shows.

The Washington Medical Commission (WMC) has said that doctors who offer misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines, treatments, and preventative measures “erode the public trust in the medical profession and endanger patients,” that people should lodge complaints against doctors who allegedly provide misinformation, and that it may revoke the licenses of doctors who are found to have spread misinformation.

Drs. Jeff Haney and James Record, Washington State University officials, referenced the commission in a letter to Dr. Moon dated March 3, 2023.

“The WMC has asked the public and practitioners to report possible spread of misinformation. There are components of your presentation that could be interpreted as a possible spread,” they wrote. “As such, we are ethically obligated to make a report to the WMC to investigate possible breach of this expectation.”

The university informed Dr. Moon in June 2023 that it was effectively firing her by not renewing her appointment as a clinical associate professor of medicine, according to other documents reviewed by The Epoch Times.

“At this time, the needs of the college are moving in a different direction and your participation is no longer required,” Drs. Haney and Record wrote.

More detailed reasoning was not provided.

“This is not about my personal situation with the school. This is about freedom of speech for all Americans,” Dr. Moon told The Epoch Times in an email. “We must create an ethical healthcare system that is concerned only with the well being of individual patients and not the financial interests of massive corporations. We are dealing with conflicts of interest that are larger than any of us ever imagined.”

Testimony

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) convened Dr. Moon and other experts, including Drs. Peter McCullough and Robert Malone, to talk about COVID-19 vaccines. The event was titled, “COVID-19 Vaccines: What They Are, How They Work, and Possible Causes of Injuries.”

Dr. Moon testified that she had only seen two or three cases of myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation, while practicing for more than 20 years. But after the COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out, she said, she has been seeing more cases, and heard about others from fellow doctors.

“There’s clearly been a massive increase,” Dr. Moon said.

Video: China Shames Citizens On Social Credit System Blacklist by Publicly Displaying Faces, IDs, Addresses On Billboards

Footage out of China shows giant billboards displaying the private information of citizens who have been blacklisted in the communist government’s social credit score system.

The public display of personal information is just one method implemented by the CCP to shame and mock citizens and keep them in line.

The viral video adds to the growing body of footage emerging from China showing the Orwellian nature of the communist government’s compliance and surveillance state tactics.

Americans should closely observe the technology being rolled out in China’s burgeoning surveillance state, as it serves as a test ground for future social credit score technologies that will soon rollout in other superstates.

US military spies to embed in Australia's defence department to monitor regional threats in wake of AUSMIN talks

American military analysts will soon be sent to work at the Defence Intelligence Organisation (DIO) in Canberra as both allies intensify joint efforts to scrutinise the moves of states like China, Russia and North Korea in the region.

Key points:

A Combined Intelligence Centre will "enhance long-standing intelligence cooperation" between Australia and the US

Defence Minister Richard Marles says announcement represents a "significant step forward" towards "seamless" intelligence ties

On Sunday, Mr Marles and US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin visited Lavarack Barracks in Townsville to meet military personnel taking part in the Operation Talisman Sabre exercises

The US and Australia announced that they would establish a "Combined Intelligence Centre — Australia" within the DIO by next year, saying the new entity would "enhance long-standing intelligence cooperation".

It comes in the wake of the AUSMIN talks between the two nations on Saturday

Defence Minister Richard Marles said that while the US and Australia already had deep intelligence ties and shared large amounts of information, the announcement represented a "significant step forward" towards "seamless" intelligence ties.

"It does enable us to do joint work and you will then see more joint [intelligence] products coming out of this," he said.

"This is a unit which is going to produce intelligence for both of our defence forces … and I think that's important."

"You'll get an American perspective into the American system seen from Australia. And that is not insignificant."

Mr Marles' declined to say what the joint intelligence centre would work on, and the joint communique issued after AUSMIN says only that it will look at "analysing issues of shared strategic concern in the Indo-Pacific."

But US analysts from the Defense Intelligence Agency and their Australian counterparts say they are very likely to focus sharply on China's military footprint in the region and its moves to cement security ties with countries across Asia and the Pacific.

The Defence Minister also denied the United States was making the move because it had been unsettled by the security pact signed by China and Solomon Islands last year — a move which blindsided Australian officials and undermined American confidence in Canberra's intelligence capabilities in the Pacific.

Rebranding? – New Neo-Nazi Group “Blood Tribe” Stages Armed Protest with Swastika Flags at LGBT Pride Event in Wisconsin

On Saturday, the newly named ‘Blood Tribe,’ a self-declared Neo-Nazi group, made a bold show of force with rifles and swastika flags at an LGBT ‘Pride in the Park’ event in Watertown, Wisconsin.

“It looks like the Feds got tired of using the name “Patriot Front” because it had already been exposed. Now the Feds are using the name “Blood Tribe” and carrying flags in Watertown Wisconsin protesting a Pride event,” said Twitter personality Wall Street Silver.

Sporting the same uniform clothing and masks previously donned by the Patriot Front, the group brandished rifles and swastika flags outside the Pride event.

The group chanted, “Us or the pedophiles!” and “There will be blood, blood blood!” at the event.

According to News2share producer Ford Fischer, one brave Pride participant confronted the armed protesters, stating, “It just makes me so happy that I get to wake up every day and just love who I want without fear of judgement or fucking Nazis apparently.”
