‘Nagorno-Karabakh republic’ will no longer exist – local leader

The announcement came after Azerbaijan completed a military operation in the breakaway region

The authorities of Azerbaijan’s breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh have announced the dissolution of the self-proclaimed republic after a Russian-mediated truce ended a flare-up of hostilities between Stepanakert and Baku.

Samvel Shahramanyan, the president of the unrecognized republic, issued a decree on Thursday ordering the “dissolution of all state institutions and their branches by January 1, 2024.”

“The Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) ceases to exist,” the announcement declared, as quoted by the NKR InfoCenter.

The document also says that the region’s inhabitants, including those who have fled, should “familiarize themselves with the conditions of reintegration offered by the Republic of Azerbaijan,” and make an independent decision about whether to return to Nagorno-Karabakh.

According to the decree, the dissolution is “in connection with the current difficult military-political situation” and is aimed at ensuring the safety of Nagorno-Karabakh residents, while taking into account the Russian-brokered agreement with Baku. The latter allows residents of the breakaway region, including military personnel who lay down their arms, to travel freely, the statement said.

Comer Shuts Down Democrat Rep. Raskin After He Tries to Hijack Impeachment Hearing with Call For Vote on Subpoenaing Rudy Giuliani

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability held its first hearing on the impeachment of Joe Biden on Thursday.

The three witnesses testifying today are:

Bruce Dubinsky, Founder, Dubinsky Consulting (forensic accountant)

Eileen O’Connor, Former Assistant Attorney General, Department of Justice Tax Division

Jonathan Turley, Shapiro Chair for Public Interest Law, George Washington University Law School

House Oversight Chairman James Comer was on fire in his opening statement Thursday morning.

“At least ten times, Joe Biden lied to the American people that he never spoke to his family about their business dealings,” Comer said. “He lied by telling the American people that there was an “absolute wall” between his official government duties and his personal life.

“Let’s be clear: there was no wall. The door was wide open to those who purchased what a business associate described as “The Biden Brand,” Comer added.

US meddling in EU state’s election – Russian intelligence

Washington will stop at nothing to ensure a loyal government remains in power in Slovakia, Moscow has claimed

The US is willing to go to any lengths, including blackmail and bribery, to ensure the incumbent government wins the upcoming election in Slovakia, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has claimed.

In a press release issued by the SVR on Thursday, director Sergey Naryshkin accused the White House of increasingly meddling in Slovakia’s internal affairs as the Central European country approaches the parliamentary election this weekend.

The opposition in Slovakia has made it abundantly clear that it would not unquestioningly follow the US lead if elected, and according to the SVR, stands a good chance of coming out on top in the vote.

To prevent this from happening, “the US State Department sent instructions to several of its European allies to conduct targeted work with local political and business circles,” the Russian intelligence agency claimed. It further alleged that Washington has sanctioned the use of methods such as blackmail, threats, and bribery.

West Virginia Official Calls on Speaker McCarthy and the GOP House to Hold Funding from DHS Until They Fire Clowns James Clapper and John Brennan

West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner fired off a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Appropriations Committee Chair Kay Granger demanding House Republicans defund the Department of Homeland Security until the agency fires election cheaters John Brennan, James Clapper, and Paul Kolbe from their so-called “experts group” who will coordinate with the agency’s Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) division and Office of the Counterterrorism Coordinator.

Former DNI James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan are famous for their role in the attempted coup of President Trump pushing the Russia conspiracy that attempted to tie President Trump to Putin. Both of these men kew this was a bogus investigation from the start before the 2016 election. They knew it was funded and launched by the Hillary Clinton campaign. And they both knew Trump had no serious contacts with Russian leaders. They ran with it anyway.

Then in 2020 bot Claipper and Brennan signed a letter with 51 total intel “experts” who claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop of filth, porn, crack and crimes was Russia disinformation. They signed their names to this letter knowing this was a lie.

Last week they were rewarded with a spot on the DHS experts team to discuss counterterrorism and crack down on American conservatives and Trump supporters.

Republicans continue to fund their own demise.

The Federalist reported:

West Virginia’s top election official is demanding House Republicans withhold funding from the Department of Homeland Security until the agency fires its recent hires who interfered in the 2020 election to help then-candidate Joe Biden.

In a letter sent to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, the chair of the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday, West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner called on House Republicans to put the kibosh on DHS funding until the agency fires former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, and Paul Kolbe, a former CIA operations officer, for signing their names to the debunked letter from 51 former intelligence officials that falsely claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.

Warner’s letter comes in response to an announcement from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas last week that the agency launched a Homeland Intelligence Experts Group “comprised of private sector experts who will provide their unique perspectives on the federal government’s intelligence enterprise.” According to a DHS press release, this group — which includes journalists, “human rights” advocates, and “former senior intelligence officials” such as Clapper, Brennan, and Kolbe — will coordinate with the agency’s Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) division and Office of the Counterterrorism Coordinator.
