==Scores dead in Nagorno-Karabakh blast – media

A major explosion has reportedly rocked a fuel storage depot near a highway in the disputed region ==

A powerful blast has rocked a fuel storage facility in Nagorno-Karabakh, authorities in the disputed region said on Monday. The facility is near a highway linking the region’s self-styled capital of Stepanakert (known as Khankendi in Azerbaijan) to the town of Askeran in the northeast.

Videos of the incident shared on social media showed a fire raging over the area and a plume of thick black smoke. The highway near the fuel depot appeared to contain heavy traffic. According to reports, a large number of vehicles were lining up for gas at the time of the blast.

Local media stated that more than 200 people have been killed or injured. The Nagorno-Karabakh Interior Ministry confirmed there had been casualties, but did not provide further details.

Armenian authorities have not commented on the incident, while officials in Baku and the Russian peacekeeping force stationed in the disputed region are also yet to issue any statements.

The incident occurred as large numbers of ethnic Armenians attempt to leave Nagorno-Karabakh for Armenia, following the imposition of control by Azerbaijani forces. Baku launched “counter-terrorism measures of a local nature” in the disputed region last Tuesday, citing an alleged Armenian military buildup. Yerevan denied the accusations.

A day after the start of the operation, the authorities in Nagorno-Karabakh announced a ceasefire with Azerbaijan, following a proposal by Russian peacekeepers. The leaders of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic told Reuters that as many as 120,000 Karabakh Armenians could flee their homes out of fear of ethnic cleansing. Azerbaijani officials have vowed to guarantee the rights of ethnic Armenians during the re-integration of the region.

According to the Interfax news agency, 6,650 people have thus far arrived in Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh.

Busted! Adam Schiff Funneled Millions To Defense Contractors After Taking Donations

While Rep. Adam Schiff (R-CA) campaigns for a Senate seat on a platform of earmarks for local causes, the 12-term Congressman has been busted steering millions in taxpayer dollars to for-profit defense contractors, many of whom have been political donors to his campaigns.

According to an investigation by Politico, Schiff "has offered an incomplete and potentially misleading account of his record on earmarks."

A POLITICO review of congressional earmarks and political contributions found that in addition to the money for homelessness and drug treatment, Schiff also steered millions to for-profit companies and raised tens of thousands for his House reelection campaigns from corporate executives and people connected to them. The review was mostly limited to publicly available data from the brief three-year window when corporate earmarks were disclosed.

Schiff claims not to have a full accounting of his earmarks.

In two particularly egregious cases, Schiff channeled millions in funding to Smiths Detection and Phasebridge, Inc., two defense companies within his district - with $6 million steered to Smiths Detection and $3 million to Phasebridge. Both moves would have been barred under reforms adopted in 2010. This financial maneuvering coincided with Schiff receiving $8,500 in contributions from PMA Group PAC and two family members of Paul Magliocchetti, founder and owner of the lobbying firm retained by both defense companies.

In 2011, Paul Magliocchetti was sentenced to 27 months in prison for making illegal campaign contributions.

Schiff's campaign has been quick to minimize these connections, emphasizing the small proportion of these contributions in his overall fundraising and underscoring his commitment to ensuring Californians’ tax dollars work for their benefit. In a boilerplate response, spokesperson Marisol Samayoa said: "Californians know and trust Adam’s record of getting things done, and as a U.S. senator, he will do what it takes to ensure Californians’ tax dollars are put to work for them and their priorities," adding "These contributions amount to less than one tenth of one percent of what Adam has raised over 20 years in Congress, and were driven by what was best for our troops and his constituents. It is ridiculous to suggest otherwise."

However, Schiff’s lack of transparency in providing a complete list of his earmarks further fuels the cloud of skepticism surrounding his actions.

"We were always concerned about the pay-to-play aspects and that’s something that every lawmaker must live with," said Steve Ellis, president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan budget watchdog, who has been analyzing earmarks for decades."If you’re getting a campaign contribution and getting your earmark for that same company or for a client of that lobbyist, it has that perception."

The earmark process was changed following rising spending an a series of congressional pay-to-play scandals in the mid-2000s, including that of former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA), who admitted to taking millions in bribes from defense contractors, as well as disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who dubbed the appropriations panel a "favor factory."

Accused 2017 ‘Vault 7’ Leaker Convicted of Hosting Child Porn on Server Maintained While in CIA Employ

Joshua Adam Schulte was convicted last week of receiving, possessing, and distributing child pornography in New York City, a conviction which will likely result in decades of imprisonment after his scheduled January 10 sentencing. He has been held without bail since 2018.

Schulte is accused of being the most prolific and important leaker of confidential intelligence community secrets, and the disclosures he revealed to the public were more consequential than other famous leakers and whistleblowers of the past, including Edward Snowden and Daniel Ellsberg. Schulte has said that he is being set up by the government as a scapegoat because of the embarrassing fallout from the disclosures.

In 2017, a major release exposed the critical tools used by the Intelligence community to subvert individuals, companies, and governments worldwide. These releases, called “Vault 7” and “Vault 8,” included ‘tools’ that could be used to:

Break into smartphones, computers and even Internet-connected televisions.

Compromise Skype; Wi-Fi networks; PDF documents; and even commercial antivirus programs of the kind used by millions of people to protect their computers.

Targeted malware to compromise computer systems

The scale of the digital criminality those tools described is unparalleled. Whereas Edward Snowden showed, through similar releases in 2013, the overall scale and scope of the “surveillance state,” the Vault 7 releases showed the actual tools used to illegally obtain evidence and intelligence. The government claimed to the New York Times that this was the “largest theft of confidential information in the Agency’s history.”

Trump Says MSNBC and NBC News Will Be Investigated for ‘Country-Threatening Treason’ if He is Re-Elected

Former President Donald Trump has vowed that MSNBC and NBC News will be investigated for “country-threatening treason” if he wins re-election.

In a post to Truth Social on Sunday night, Trump blasted the network’s parent company, Comcast.

“They are almost all dishonest and corrupt, but Comcast, with its one-side and vicious coverage by NBC NEWS, and in particular MSNBC, often and correctly referred to as MSDNC (Democrat National Committee!), should be investigated for its ‘Country Threatening Treason,'” Trump wrote.

Trump took aim at the company for their relentless pushing of the Russiagate conspiracy theory, in particular, which he called a “big campaign contribution” to Democrats.

How a Faith-Based Gold Company Is Changing the Way Americans Protect Their Retirement

“Their endless coverage of the now fully debunked SCAM known as Russia, Russia, Russia, and much else, is one big Campaign Contribution to the Radical Left Democrat Party,” Trump continued.

The former president vowed that when he wins, they “and others of the Lamestream Media” will be “thoroughly scrutinized” for their “dishonest and corrupt” coverage.

“I say up front, openly, and proudly, that when I WIN the Presidency of the United States, they and others of the LameStream Media will be thoroughly scrutinized for their knowingly dishonest and corrupt coverage of people, things, and events,” Trump asserted. “Why should NBC, or any other of the corrupt & dishonest media companies, be entitled to use the very valuable Airwaves of the USA, FREE?”

Trump concluded, “They are a true threat to Democracy and are, in fact, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! The Fake News Media should pay a big price for what they have done to our once great Country!”

Newsom Signs Law Requiring Gender-Neutral Bathrooms in California K-12 Schools

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a law requiring all schools in the state to provide gender-neutral bathrooms.

The new legislation, signed on Saturday, expands a state law that schools allow students to use bathrooms that align with their “gender identity.”

“The bill, which explicitly requires an additional gender-neutral option, was inspired by an attempt by Chino Valley Unified to restrict transgender students’ access to certain bathrooms and sports facilities,” the Los Angeles Times reports. “The law is part of a package of bills aiming to protect LGBTQ+ youths and comes amid proliferating culture wars in districts with conservative-controlled school boards, whose focus has become ‘parental rights’ and student gender identity.”

The 2021 Chino Valley district resolution, which would have required students to use the bathroom matching their biological sex, did not pass after State Supt. of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond warned them that it was “unlawful.”

Still, the unsuccessful attempt to protect the privacy of female students inspired the law that Newsom signed over the weekend.

The Times report noted, “Chino Valley Unified, in San Bernardino County, became the first district this summer to approve a controversial policy that requires schools to notify parents of students’ decisions regarding gender identity, such as the use of preferred pronouns.”

LGBTQ groups in the state applauded the new law.

“While states across the nation are passing legislation that puts LGBTQ+ people and especially youth at risk, California is sending a clear message today — hate-filled attacks will not be tolerated and we will continue protecting and ensuring the safety of all members of the LGBTQ+ community,” Equality California Executive Director Tony Hoang said in a statement obtained by the newspaper.

Newsom also signed a law requiring foster parents to prove that they will support an LGBTQ child’s “sexual orientation or gender identity.”

City of Chicago Denies Request for Records on How $57M Was Spent on Migrant Shelter Staffing

Chicago has spent over $100M to care for illegals arriving in the city thanks to Joe Biden’s broken border. But officials won’t provide transparency on how the money is being spent.

NBC Chicago reports that the city of Chicago’s finance department has denied NBC 5 Investigates’ Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for copies of a year’s worth of invoices. The invoices are related to more than $57 million spent on a staffing company that has a contract with the city to provide staffing in shelters.

The city claims, “The burden of redacting records ‘outweighs public interest in the information.'”

The Gateway Pundit reported in May that, while Chicago burns with rampant crime and violence, the City Council approved $51 million in aid for illegals. In July, it was revealed that most of those funds, $47 million, would be used to pay for a national staffing firm that provides personnel at shelters receiving illegals arriving in the city.

In February, CBS 2 revealed their FOIA request, on how the city has spent the more than $100 million, was also denied by Chicago Office of Budget & Management.

In the denial letter to NBC’s recent FOIA, the city said the request for 498 payment vouchers (that would require redactions) was “unduly burdensome” and would impose “immense burden on the department’s time.”

NBC Chicago reports:

What’s curious about that denial letter is that the city already provided NBC 5 Investigates with two invoices – showing last December that a nurse at the High Ridge YMCA shelter earned than $20,000 in a week.

During that same week, a shelter manager made $14,000. Both figures did include overtime.

NBC 5 Investigates also received a spreadsheet showing a total of $57 million covering 498 payment vouchers. What’s not clear from the spreadsheet is how many employees that covers, how many hours were billed and if certain shelters billed the city more than others. Some invoices were for more than $500,000, the spreadsheet shows.

EU state used Israeli spyware on exiled Russian journalists – editors

The founder of Latvia-based news site Meduza had her phone hacked before a meeting of Russian opposition journalists in Berlin

An unnamed EU state used Israeli malware to hack the mobile phone of Galina Timchenko, a Russian opposition journalist based in Latvia, Timchenko told The Guardian on Monday. The Latvian authorities have denied any role in the hacking.

Timchenko, who founded the anti-Kremlin Meduza news site, told The Guardian that she received a message from Apple earlier this year informing her that her phone had been hacked prior to a meeting of Russian opposition journalists in Berlin. According to the newspaper, at least four other Russian journalists – three of whom used Latvian SIM cards in their phones – were similarly targeted.

Timchenko said that she initially suspected that the Kremlin was behind the hack, but an investigation by the University of Toronto and Access Now found that the likely culprit was an EU state agency using Pegasus, a spyware program developed by Israel’s NSO Group.

Russia does not use Pegasus, while agencies in multiple EU states – including Germany, Latvia, and Estonia – do.

Pegasus can be installed on a target’s phone with or without the user clicking a false link. Once installed, Pegasus grants the hacker the ability to read messages, look through photos, track the person’s location, and even switch on the camera and microphone without the knowledge of the phone’s owner. According to a list of NSO clients that leaked in 2021, more than 50,000 politicians, journalists, activists, and business figures were surveilled using the malware.

“It is likely that the hack was operated by some European security service. We don’t know if it was Latvia or some other country, but we have more [presence] in Latvia,” Meduza editor-in-chief Ivan Kolpakov said.

The Latvian Embassy in Washington, DC said that it is “not aware of any electronic surveillance measures being taken against Ms. Timchenko,” while federal police in Germany, where the hack took place, refused to comment.

Timchenko and Kolpakov told The Guardian that they have reason to suspect Riga’s involvement, pointing to a dispute between the Latvian state and TV Dozhd, another Russian opposition outlet, last year. TV Dozhd was banned in Latvia and Lithuania after it broadcast a map of Russia featuring Crimea as Russian territory, and after one of its presenters referred to the Russian military as “our army.”

At the time, Meduza joined an open letter condemning the decision as “unfair, wrong, and disproportionate to the official violations.”

Trudeau Faces Hard Pushback After Honoring SS Fighter on Parliament – Mistake by Globalist Poster Boy Exposes Ukrainian Nazism to the World – PM Deflects the Blame, Points to Speaker of the House

The trip to Canada by Ukrainian President Zelensky was meant to divert from his lackluster United Nations and US Congress appearances, and give Kiev some semblance of a victorious Foreign Relations moment.

To do that, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau had his guest come to a special Parliament session, in which ‘he was interrupted by standing ovations seven times’ – as the MSM lore goes.

However, Zelensky and Trudeau have unwittingly detonated a PR bomb that is hurting both of their reputations, and exposed the horrible reality of the Nazi ties of the Ukrainian ‘banderite’ regime.

The unforced error was to bring 98-year-old Ukrainian immigrant Yaroslav Hunka, who fought for the First Ukrainian Division. That Nazi division was also known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division.

Yes, all the parliament honored a Nazi with a stand-up ovation.

Fox News reported:

“Canadian Jewish organizations and social media critics are slamming the Canadian Parliament for giving a man who fought for the Nazis a standing ovation during an event featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the country.

‘FSWC is appalled that Canada’s Parliament gave a standing ovation to a Ukrainian veteran who served in a Nazi military unit during the Second World War implicated in the mass murder of Jews and others. An apology and explanation is owed’, the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Canadian nonprofit dedicated to educating people on the Holocaust, wrote on X, previously known as Twitter.”

Video: Border Patrol Head Says Agency Cannot Protect U.S. Because They Are Forced To Process So Many Illegals

“In terms of flow and the threats that we’re seeing with Fentanyl and with the criminal organizations that are our adversary, it’s about as bad as I’ve ever seen it”

Jason Owens, the new head of the Border Patrol has warned that the agency is unable to protect Americans from “hardened criminals” smuggling in weapons, drugs and gang members because it is so overwhelmed with processing thousands of illegal immigrants every day.

Appearing on ABC News, Owens stated that the Border Patrol cannot lawfully send back people illegally trying to enter the country over the Southern border, and has to “enforce the laws that are on the books.”

“In terms of flow and the threats that we’re seeing with Fentanyl and with the criminal organizations that are our adversary, it’s about as bad as I’ve ever seen it,” Owens urged.

He continued, “This isn’t sustainable. This is up-and-down the system, everybody is overwhelmed. Even the government of Mexico, which have been great partners for us, the U.S. Border Patrol, a lot of times our facilities are already over capacity.”

House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner blasted the Biden administration Sunday, charging that they are “encouraging” unsustainable surges at the border.

The GOP Rep. said that “the manner in which they have — have provided assistance to migrants, not really communicating that our borders should be closed. Instead, have encouraging an open border policy.”

“You know, this is a national security and an economic security threat. On national security, we’ve seen individuals on the terrorist watch list be apprehended. We certainly see fentanyl and other drugs coming across the border. On economic security, you even have the mayor of New York saying that it’s destroying his city,” Turner added.

He added that “the Biden administration just in the last 10 days took action to give 200,000 Venezuelans temporary protective status, which includes that they cannot be deported and work privileges.”

“If we had the right policies, they wouldn’t be here. By providing them these — the open assistance, what you’re seeing is an encouragement for others to come,” he further asserted.

Evergrande Former CEO And CFO Arrested As Insolvent Property Giant Misses Payment On $550MM Onshore Bond

The real estate giant said late Sunday it couldn’t satisfy requirements of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the National Development and Reform Commission to issue new notes. It cited an investigation of subsidiary Hengda Real Estate Group without elaborating. The unit said in August that CSRC had built a case against it relating to suspected information disclosure violations.

Commenting on the slide, Bloomberg said that Evergrande "is running out of time to get what would be one of the nation’s biggest-ever restructurings back on track, after setbacks in recent days that raise the risk of liquidation."

The string of surprise developments include scrapping key creditor meetings at the last minute, saying it must revisit its restructuring plan, detention of money management unit staff and an inability to meet regulator qualifications to issue new bonds.

That last item is a major setback to its planned restructuring of at least $30 billion of offshore debt that would have creditors swap defaulted notes for new securities. Evergrande’s shares plunged as much as 25% Monday.

The latest sign of trouble (in what has been an endless barrage for the past two years) at Evergrande caused simmering worries about China’s deepening property crisis to flare. As noted above, a Bloomberg index of Chinese property stocks tumbled the most in nine months on Monday, taking its loss in valuation this year to $55 billion. China Aoyuan Group Ltd. slumped by a record after its shares resumed trading, and property investing firm China Oceanwide Holdings Ltd. faced court-ordered liquidation after a Bermuda court issued a winding-up order.

Things went from bad to worse, this morning when Evergrande’s onshore unit effectively redefaulted when it said it missed principal and interest payments of a 4b yuan ($550 million) onshore bond with a put option issued in 2020, according to a Shenzhen stock exchange filing. And while the company assured investors that it will “actively” negotiate with bond holders to reach solutions as soon as possible, it will hardly come as a comfort to the company's other creditors or the property sector in general, which now has nothing but more pain to look forward to.

Two people who certainly have nothing to look forward to any more, are former Evergrande CEO, Xia Haijun, and Pan Darong, a former chief financial officer, both of whom were arrested by Chinese authorities, Caixin reported, without identifying sources.

Both were in charge of Evergrande’s financial operations and resigned in July last year for their alleged involvement in a bank deposit scandal, according to the report. Some more details from the report, which notes that as Evergrande's financial trouble intensifies, pressure has been building for the developer to repay wealth management products sold by the subsidiary to retail investors while trying to complete housing projects across the country. The subsidiary said in an August statement that it had failed to make payments for the month, fueling public outcry.

Study: 34% of children put on transgender puberty blockers end up becoming mental cases

To all those LGBT advocates out there who claim that turning children transgender does them no harm, how about the more than one-third of children who suffer serious mental health problems after taking hormone-altering drugs like puberty blockers?

A fresh analysis of a 2011 study conducted by the University College London Hospitals (UCLH) and the now-shuttering Tavistock Centre Gender Identity Development service and clinic revealed that at least 34 percent of children placed on puberty-blocking pharmaceutical drugs "reliably deteriorated" thereafter.

The pool of those evaluated was only 44, so the sample size is small. Still, a good number of the kids, who ranged in age between 12 and 15, suffered greatly after being prescribed these poisons to become trans. And UK authorities had the gall to later claim that there are "no changes in physiological function" that occur in children who take puberty blockers.

It is a crime against humanity to allow a child to mutilate and destroy his body

Last year, the UK National Health Service (NHS) ordered the Tavistock Centre and its highly controversial Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) to close by no later than the end of 2023. This occurred after Dr. Hillary Cass conducted an interim independent review determining that transgender therapies are "not a safe or viable long-term option" for children.

The planned closure deadline for the Tavistock Centre and GIDS has since been extended to March 2024. In the meantime, whistleblowers and others continue to come forward to tell all about the horrors that children who go trans are now enduring after having their bodies and endocrine systems butchered by LGBT surgeon mutilators.

Dr. Cass produced a full report of her findings, which is now being paired with this new analysis of the 2011 study to warn the world that underage children should never, ever be allowed to get chemically and physically mutilated, especially based on false promises that it is completely "safe" to do such things to one's body.

Only under very special circumstances, such as clinical trials, will children be allowed to destroy their bodies once the Tavistock Centre and GIDS are shut down for good early next year.

"We are grateful to all of the clinicians and academics who have contributed to this study over the years, and we welcome new peer-reviewed analyses of the evidence around how to support these young people," said a spokesman from Tavistock and the Portman NHS Foundation Trust, about the latest findings.

"The analysis plan for the original study was independently produced by experts in medical statistics, and the underlying data was published so that other researchers might conduct further analyses."

In the comments on a story about all this, someone rightfully and correctly pointed out that confusion about one's own gender is a mental illness, period. And the way to treat said mental illness is to help a child grow out of that confusion and embrace the gender that he or she – there are only two – was born with.

"The confusion comes from the media and schools preying on vulnerable and fragile psyches," another pointed out about the true source of all this confusion being implanted into children's brains.

Department of Defense Signs Contract With Social Media Monitoring Company

Fresh revelations regarding a $2.5 million contractual agreement between the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) at Fort George G. Meade and social media scrutinizer Dataminr have emerged. These claims, unveiled by a US government notice, imply a new era of digital monitoring rests on the horizon, increasingly unsettling in its reinforcement of sweeping surveillance, and potentially having implications on free speech and privacy protection.

Fort Meade, also known as the steering wheel of the US Government’s paramount signals intelligence organization, the National Security Agency, has seemingly struck a discreet deal to expand its espionage services.

DISA, commodiously located at Fort Meade, is now purported to have voluminous exposure to public posts from assorted social media platforms, including X, formerly Twitter.

Dataminr is a company specializing in AI-driven real-time information discovery and is known for detecting, classifying, and determining the significance of public information in real time. It’s plausible that government entities, including the Department of Defense, may leverage services like Dataminr to monitor social media and other public data sources to maintain situational awareness and respond to emerging events or threats more rapidly.

When privacy buffs and free speech advocates look at governmental use of tools like Dataminr, it’s met with a hefty dose of suspicion, and rightfully so. The potential implications for personal freedom, civil rights, and the pillars of democracy are considerable. There’s this looming worry about the government, potentially with too loose a leash, exploiting these tools to spy on lawful activities and on people living their everyday lives with no criminal intentions.

The breadth and depth of data that can be scooped up – often slipping under individuals’ radars and without their green light – are considered intrusive, lighting up alarm bells about losing the privilege of anonymity on the web. The knowledge that one’s online whispers and digital footprints might be under the watchful eye can put a damper on free speech. It can make people think twice before voicing opinions that swim against the current or stir the pot.

New York teacher 'prefers' underage girls, concealed images in secret app: Report

A teacher in New York allegedly shared with an undercover FBI agent pretending to be a 13-year-old girl that he prefers underage girls, and that he apparently had sex "with a 10th grader once."

Kostas Fekkas, 34, taught at a charter school in Manhattan when he was arrested on September 14, according to Fox News. He had also worked at several other schools in the Bronx and Westchester County, New York. Investigators apparently found graphic sexual messages and child pornography from a 12-year-old girl that were hidden on an app that was made to look like a calculator.

As a result, a three-month undercover sting was carried out.

An undercover FBI agent, who went by the fake name "Riley," reportedly messaged Fekkas, saying "I'm in 8th (grade)." Fekkas replied, saying that "I usually cut off at 9th grade but you're insanely gorgeous."

Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement that "Kostas Fekka's alleged conduct is despicable," adding that he "was entrusted with the care and well-being of children, who he in turn allegedly sought to victimize."

The app that Fekkas used to conceal the illegal material was HideU, which allows users to conceal files on a cellphone disguised as a functioning calculator. The former teacher introduced himself on the app Kik as "C.J. Justice," a 30-year-old man who teachers physics in high school. The account was linked to the email address kfekkas@mercy.edu.

Fekkas apparently sent photos of himself to "Riley," which matched publicly available images that were later discovered on a Manhattan high school's website. The images and alleged message exchanges between Fekkas and "Riley" were included in the criminal complaint.

Fekkas eventually pushed the 13-year-old to send nude photos. However, the FBI agent behind "Riley" sent a photo of a girl's face, and Fekkas allegedly responded, "Like I'd make out with you all day lolllll (sic)." Fekkas went on to allegedly say that he wanted "Riley" to "be super comfortable before you show me more of your face and before I get to see your body."

The report mentioned that between December 20 and December 25 of 2022, Fekkas allegedly sent explicit photos of himself to "Riley" and asked if she would engage in sexual activities with him. The exchanges reportedly became more graphic as time passed.

Fekkas is currently being charged with two counts of possession of child pornography, which carries a mandatory sentence between five and 20 years for each count, if convicted. He is also charged with attempted transfer of obscene material, which could carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

Biden Administration Knew Border Surge Was Coming, Internal Documents Show—And Did Nothing

Federal agencies clocked a large buildup of migrants on the Mexican border in early September

The Department of Homeland Security was aware that a large population of migrants was preparing to cross the southern border months before a near-record number surged into the country this month, internal documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show—but appears to have taken no action to forestall an influx that has overwhelmed local officials across the United States.

The documents show that Mexican immigration authorities have seen a spike in apprehensions since May, an indication that border crossings were likely to rise, and that federal agencies documented a large buildup of migrants on the Mexican side of the border at the beginning of September.

The White House, which has struggled to counteract the surge of migrants that began when President Joe Biden took office in January of 2021, is pointing the finger at Republicans, arguing that GOP lawmakers in Congress are responsible for the problem because they have stymied the president's proposals for immigration reform. But Biden's problems on the southern border have put him at odds with Democratic officials, as Democratic leaders in cities like Chicago and New York have struggled to deal with tens of thousands of new arrivals, which are forcing lawmakers there to consider sharp budget cuts to pay for housing and other social services.

Neither Customs and Border Protection nor the Department of Homeland Security responded to a request for comment.

The warning signs on the Mexican side of the border came as immigration authorities recorded a record high number of migrant encounters in August. Customs and Border Protection announced last Friday evening that nearly 232,000 migrants crossed the border in August, a record for the calendar year and a nearly 27 percent increase from July.

There is little evidence the situation is set to improve, although El Paso mayor Oscar Leeser said Saturday his city is "at a breaking point." Nearly 100,000 more migrants are traveling through Panama and Mexico with the hopes of crossing into the United States, Reuters reported last week. So many migrants have illegally boarded trains that railroad operator Union Pacific temporarily ended service in Mexico.

Biden’s expansion of the CBP One app in January was pitched as a solution. In a speech, Biden heralded a "new process" that "is orderly … safe … and humane" and said the initiative would cause illegal border crossings to diminish. Those who did not apply through CBP One, Biden said, would be deported.

Other than a brief reprieve in mid-May, illegal border crossings have continued to rise since the end of Title 42, a pandemic-era rule that allowed for the quick deportation of illegal aliens. The Department of Homeland Security says 1,450 migrants a month may apply remotely for asylum with the CBP One app, although the agency has not honored its self-imposed limits.

Squalene in vaccines can cause our immune systems to self-destruct; it also decimates shark populations

In a recent article, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny explained the toxicity of adjuvants used in vaccines. In particular, she explained what MF59 is and warned about the potential harms of injecting this squalene-based adjuvant into people.

Fluad (aQIV), a flu vaccine introduced in the UK in the 2018-19 flu season for adults aged 65 and older, contains MF59. MF59 is Novartis’ squalene-based adjuvant. “The main ingredient in MF59 is squalene oil … from fish oil,” the University of Oxford’s Vaccine Knowledge website states. And goes on to claim that “There is no evidence that MF59 causes [ ] serious adverse effects.”

Another squalene-based adjuvant is AS03 used in various vaccine products by GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”). In May 2020, GSK penned deals offering AS03 adjuvant to several developers of covid injections. One of the covid “vaccines” that contains AS03 is SKYCovion, which the MHRA approved for use in the UK in May this year.

Despite the University of Oxford boldly stating there is “no evidence that MF59 causes serious adverse effects,” it didn’t take us long to find evidence online of serious adverse effects. Within a few minutes, we found the article published by Berry Law below regarding anthrax vaccines:

Causes of the Anthrax Vaccine’s Side Effects

The FDA has confirmed that squalene – an oil-based adjuvant that hyperactivates the immune system – was used in some of the batches of the anthrax vaccine given to military members in the early 1990s. Squalene is very dangerous to use as an adjuvant because it can cause the body’s immune system to self-destruct.

Anthrax Vaccine Presents Long Term Side Effects, Berry Law, 22 September 2023

Berry Law’s article goes on to list 13 long-term adverse effects of the squalene-based anthrax vaccine.

In addition to the harm to human health, there is the harm to the natural world. Squalene belongs in sharks and not in our arms. In October 2020, conservationists warned that half a million sharks could be killed to feed the covid injection industry alone. How many more for all the other vaccines containing squalene? And then, for the cosmetic industry, 2.7 million sharks are captured and killed for their livers each year.

The University of Oxford can’t have tried very hard to conduct any research on squalene-based adjuvants. And, Dr. Tenpenny has much more information than our few minutes of online search. The following is an abridged version of an article written by Dr. Tenpenny. You can read the full article HERE.

British Telecom CEO Firing Whites, Hiring Non-Whites to 'Hit Diversity Targets' and 'Pocket £220K Bonus'

The CEO of British Telecom giant BT is reportedly firing some 1,100 employees in overwhelmingly white rural East Anglia with the intention of replacing them with non-whites from major cities in order to "boost diversity" and potentially pocket a £220,000 bonus for hitting "diversity targets."

From The Mail on Sunday, "Anger at BT as top executive declares plans to cut more than 1,000 jobs in rural areas while hiring new staff in major cities will boost workforce diversity":

Telecoms giant BT was last night under fire after a top executive declared that plans to cut more than 1,000 jobs in rural East Anglia while hiring new staff in major cities will boost its workforce diversity.

In comments leaked to The Mail on Sunday, Howard Watson, BT's chief networks officer, suggested that a 'significant factor' in choosing where to locate major offices was the ethnic diversity of the area.

One Tory MP yesterday accused BT of 'pandering to political correctness' and warned it could be illegally discriminating against white staff.

It comes as the MoS can reveal that BT's new chief executive, Allison Kirkby, could pocket up to £220,000 in bonus payments specifically linked to 'diversity and inclusion' targets.

BT unveiled controversial plans in July to cut up to 1,100 jobs from its 2,900-strong base in Martlesham, near Ipswich, as part of a major overhaul of its offices called the 'Better Workplace Programme'. Under the blueprint, some of the staff affected will be offered the chance to move to 'strategic hub' cities including London, Birmingham and Manchester.

A recording obtained by the MoS details Mr Watson telling staff the headcount reduction is a 'shocking number', but adds that BT would be able to recruit new workers in 'many more places' which would 'improve diversity inclusion over time'.

Asked whether boosting diversity and inclusion was a key reason for relocating jobs, Mr Watson replies: 'That was a significant factor in the choice of the locations.'

Martlesham is 95.8 per cent white, according to latest figures – in contrast, Birmingham is 48.7 per cent white.

Hillary Clinton claims Putin will interfere in 2024 election

"Part of the reason he worked so hard against me is because he didn’t think he wanted me in the White House. So we are where we are."

In an interview with former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki that aired on Sunday, former 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin would interfere with the 2024 presidential election in the US.

"Vladimir Putin has obviously … intervened in our election in the past. It’s not something, as you experienced firsthand, it’s not something we talk about a lot," Psaki, who now serves as an MSNBC host, said.

Ukraine Lost Around 85% of Its Initial Mobilized Force: Field General

A Ukrainian combat general says of each 100 individuals conscripted last year only 10-20 remain while others are either dead or disabled.

Almost nine out of every ten Ukrainian draftees who enlisted in the army a year ago have either been killed or injured in combat, Ukrainian media reported on Friday citing a senior conscription officer in the Poltava Region.

Lt. Colonel Vitaly Berezhny, who is currently serving as the acting head of the territorial center for recruitment and social support, made this admission during a Poltava City Council meeting.

Sounding the alarm, Berezhny told meeting participants that “out of the 100 individuals who joined the units last fall, only 10-20 of them remain, the rest are dead, wounded or disabled.” Going from this statistic, he declared that the military was in urgent need of reinforcements.

He acknowledged that local authorities are facing significant challenges in their conscription efforts, having only achieved 13 percent of the mobilization plan. This places the Poltava at the bottom of the region’s rankings.

To address the shortage of manpower, the officer proposed the “establish the presence of conscripts.” He further stated that the region had intentions to establish a substantial mechanized brigade and appealed to local deputies to actively support this endeavor.

Following the start of the war with Russia in February 2022, Kiev implemented a general mobilization, barring most men between the ages of 18 and 60 from leaving the country. This measure was initially thought to suffice in meeting the country’s military manpower needs.

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov revealed last month that Kiev had not yet fully executed its existing mobilization plan, indicating that there was no necessity for another conscription effort.

Nevertheless, at the beginning of this month, a significant policy shift occurred when the Ukrainian Defense Ministry issued a decree allowing the conscription of individuals with severe medical conditions, including hepatitis, asymptomatic HIV, and clinically managed tuberculosis.

This unexpected change in approach signaled a transformation in Kiev’s strategy for bolstering its military capabilities.

Simultaneously, the country’s authorities initiated a comprehensive anti-corruption campaign within the nation’s conscription framework. In recent developments, President Volodymyr Zelensky took resolute measures by terminating the appointments of all regional military conscription officials.

Berezhny’s recognition coincides with Ukraine’s ongoing counteroffensive, which has extended for over three months but has encountered difficulty in achieving substantial territorial gains despite full Western backing.

In recent days, Russian President Vladimir Putin estimated Ukraine’s military casualties to exceed 71,000 personnel. Additionally, he proposed that Kiev might consider engaging in negotiations with Moscow once its resources for confronting Russian defenses become critically depleted. Putin’s assessment emphasized that Ukraine would primarily seek talks to rehabilitate its weakened military capabilities.
