Biden admin investigates Rumble: 'Playbook to try and destroy' free speech platform, CEO warns

The Biden administration's Securities and Exchange Commission recently confirmed to Wired that it is investigating free speech video platform Rumble.

According to the Monday report, Wired filed a public records request in November seeking documents related to Rumble but was denied by the SEC due to the in-progress investigation.

While the agency did not provide any information regarding the nature of the probe, it stated that the existence of the investigation was not an indication that Rumble had done anything illegal.

The SEC's assistant general counsel for litigation and administrative practice, Melinda Hardy, told Wired, "We have confirmed with Division of Enforcement staff that the investigation from which you seek records is still active and ongoing."

Turning over the requested document to the news outlet "could be reasonably expected to cause harm to the ongoing and active enforcement proceedings because, among other things, individuals and entities of interest in the underlying investigation could fabricate evidence, influence witness testimony and/or destroy or alter certain documents," Hardy explained.

In a statement to Wired, Rumble spokesperson Rory Rumore stated that the SEC requested documents from the company, which it turned over voluntarily.

"We caution anyone from jumping to false conclusions about matters related to Rumble," the company said.

In a post on X, Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski claimed that the SEC launched the investigation following a false report from a "short seller."

"The playbook to try and destroy $RUM [Rumble]," Pavlovski wrote. "A short seller creates a bogus report and sends it to the SEC. The SEC investigates the bogus report. Then the short seller talks to the media to get a story about how the SEC is investigating the report that started with him. The media happily writes the story."

"The report is bogus, but that doesn't matter — it's all to get investors to sell the stock so the short seller profits," he continued. "Good news, it won't work. We saw the attacks coming, and we prepared for them. Prior to going public, we chose to use Google Analytics to track and report our [monthly active users], so we could be ready for this very moment."

Pavlovski added, "This is just the start, they're coming for us in 2024. They can't stand Rumble's mission, but they are going to learn quickly how hard we punch back." Pavlovski noted that he is exploring the company's legal options.

According to Wired, investment research firm Culper Research released a report questioning Rumble's reported monthly active users.

"Combined, the web and app data suggest to us that Rumble has only 38 to 48 million unique users, and the Company has overstated its user base by 66% to 108%," Culper Research's report claimed.

The firm noted that it had taken a short position in the company and stood to profit if its stocks dropped.

Rumore denied claims that Rumble inflated the number of active monthly users and warned investors to be "especially dubious of rumors peddled by short sellers who are attempting to distort facts for their own financial benefit."

Global Big Tech Censorship: UK Broadcasting Regulator Hires Meta and Google Staff to Police Internet

The United Kingdom’s broadcasting regulator has been hiring top staff from Big Tech firms as it prepares to begin policing the internet under the controversial Online Safety Act.

The Office of Communications, commonly known as Ofcom, has hired 350 new staff members, many of whom have been poached from the likes of Google, Meta, and Microsoft, and is planning on hiring another 100 as it assumes its new role as the enforcer of the Online Safety Act, which was passed into law in October.

Speaking to the globalist Financial Times newspaper, former Meta “misinformation” specialist turned director of online safety policy for Ofcom, Jessica Zucker said that in light of Big Tech layoffs over the past two years, there is an “overwhelming” interest in joining the British regulator among ousted Silicon Valley employees.

And the links between big government and big tech seem to run both ways, the most infamous example being Britain’s former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg taking a top job with Meta after facing electoral defeat at home. Mr Clegg is now president of global affairs and communications with the Facebook owner.

Ofcom, which hitherto was chiefly tasked with policing content on television and radio in the UK, has been granted sweeping new powers by the parliament to monitor and fine the internet.

For larger companies, most notably social media services and search engines, Ofcom will be empowered to impose fines of up to £18 million ($22 million) or 10 per cent of global annual turnover depending upon which is higher.

The Online Safety Act in Britain does not go as far as recently instituted regulations in the European Union, which demands that social media companies police so-called hate speech and combat misinformation, and some of the more controversial elements of the bill were removed before being passed into law, most notably the ability to sanction companies over the vaguely worded “legal but harmful” content.

Hackers Unveil Sensitive Data from 200 U.S. Police Departments in Major Security Breach

A cybersecurity breach has led to the release of a vast collection of sensitive files from over 200 police departments and FBI offices across the United States, in an incident now known as “BlueLeaks.”

Business Insider reports that hackers have recently breached the security of a Houston-based web-service provider called Netsential, which works with state law-enforcement agencies in the U.S.

This breach has led to the disclosure of hundreds of gigabytes of potentially sensitive files from various U.S. police departments. The leaked data, made available in a searchable database, includes information that can be sorted by officers’ badge numbers. The files were hosted by fusion centers and state agencies that facilitate information sharing among police departments and were stolen in the security breach.

It’s worth noting that the leaked files do not reveal any significant police misconduct, instead, they primarily consist of emails and internal memos that show how police departments and the FBI have monitored protests across the U.S., especially those that followed the death of George Floyd.

One unclassified FBI memo to police departments, dated late May, raised concerns about the safety of “law enforcement supporters,” citing specific tweets. Other internal memos included in the leak showed police departments exchanging information about specific clothing, signs, and cars of protesters deemed potential threats.

In some cases, officers made arrests after tracking people down using photos taken at protests.

Blinken, Macron, Li, and Guterres Lead Rush of Globalist Elites Flying into Davos

Sixty heads of state and government are packing their bags and readying to fly into the luxury Swiss mountain resort of Davos ahead of the next World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting that begins Monday.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, French President Emmanuel Macron, Chinese Premier Li Qiang, and U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres are among the self-styled global luminaries set to alight from their private jet transports for a week of meetings, cocktails, and back slapping.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, and U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will also take part at the 54th celebration of global power and elite management hosted by founder Klaus Schwab.

So too UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is going to Davos next week, appearing alongside Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch at an event hosted by JPMorgan Chase & Co. the American multinational financial services firm, Bloomberg reports.

More than 300 other public figures will join them at the monied conclave to focus on “rebuilding trust” amid a world of uncertainty, as Breitbart News reported.

Another 2,000 to 3,000 people are on the official invite list, though many more flock to fringe events, swelling the population of the resort town from its modest permanent base of around 11,000.

Most will fly in to the local airport by private and commercial flights.

Rep. Lauren Boebert's ex-husband arrested after Colorado restaurant incident

Jayson Boebert faces multiple charges ranging from assault to trespassing.

Rep. Lauren Boebert's ex-husband was arrested on multiple charges, including assault and mischief, according to public records that came days after he and the Republican congresswoman were involved in a public dispute at a Colorado restaurant.

The Garfield County Sheriff's Department arrested Jayson Boebert on Tuesday and he was released that same day, public records show.

Police responded Saturday to a call at a restaurant in Silt, Colorado, to a report that the divorced couple was involved in a spat. Lauren Boebert denied any wrongdoing after she was accused of punching her ex-husband.

Court records do not link Jayson Boebert's arrest Tuesday to the incident over the weekend, but he was charged with misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief and his bail was set at $2,500 overall, according to The Denver Post.

Jayson Boebert received additional charges related to his arrest Tuesday, according to Colorado Bureau of Investigation records. Those charges include the "prohibited aiming of a firearm, obstructing a peace officer, trespassing, and disorderly conduct-offensive gesture," per the Post.

Ahead of ICJ genocide case, Likud MK doubles down on call to burn Gaza to the ground

Vaturi also referred to Israel's action in the northern Gaza Strip, saying, "We've evacuated everyone, we managed to do an orderly evacuation of 1,900,000, and 100,000 remained."

Likud MK Nissim Vaturi doubled down on comments from late November, in which he said that "Gaza must be burned," in an interview with Kol BaRama radio on Wednesday morning.

Asked about the storm caused by his previous comments in late November, the Likud member refused to retract his original statement, saying, "Hamas came and burned us, our children, in the Gaza border.

"Not that I am comparing us to them, but when the people want to stand up and protect their children from such horrible acts of the Holocaust, you come and enter with all your might, and that's what we did.

"I said 'burn Gaza,' burn, what do you mean? Go in and tear them apart. There is not even a thought here, there is no consideration. That IDF soldiers will not think for one second and get hurt because we have to be humane," he added.

Vaturi also referred to Israel's action in the northern Gaza Strip, saying, "We've evacuated everyone, we managed to do an orderly evacuation of 1,900,000, and 100,000 remained. I don't think there are any innocent people there now, not now, and not when I said these things.

"We also saw a disabled person with crutches who came in and robbed, kidnapped, and beat Jews; there were many involved. I have no pity for such people, certainly not in war when soldiers fall to protect our homeland. It is impossible for us to be nice at home and say, 'Oh, there are innocent people there.'"

If there is an innocent person there, we will know about them. Whoever stays there should be eliminated, period. I don't even have a doubt. We are grateful that we have the privilege of being prosecuted in The Hague for statements while Hamas is murdering children and women, and we are only looking to defend ourselves as a nation," he said.

CASUALTIES REPORTED AFTER HEAVY ISRAELI STRIKES ON SOUTHERN LEBANON (VIDEOS)

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that it carried out airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon on January 10 morning and overnight.

Near the town of Labbouneh, the IDF said that a fighter jet hit a military building and other infrastructure belonging to the group. Another site of Hezbollah near the town of Naqoura, from which projectiles were previously fired at Israel, was also struck.

Overnight, an Israeli fighter jet targeted a Hezbollah military compound in the town of Kfarchouba, according to the IDF, which also announced that an observation position near the town of Khiam was targeted a day earlier. Video footage of the strikes were released by the IDF.

Lebanese media also reported heavy Israeli artillery strikes on the towns of Kafr Kalla, Deir Mimas, Al-Dhahra, Al-Jabain and Yarin.

A Lebanese civilian was killed in Kafr Kallah. Hezbollah also announced that one of its fighters was killed “on the road to Jerusalem.”

During the day, Hezbollah announced a single attack. Poor weather conditions along the border have apparently restricted the group’s movement. The attack target was the IDF al-Maraj site on the border with Lebanon. No casualties were reported.

Hezbollah and its allies launched hundreds of cross-border attacks from southern Lebanon in support of Palestinian armed factions amid the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.

As of January 10, the border clashes have resulted in four civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of nine IDF soldiers. On the Lebanese side, more than 180 have been killed. The toll includes 150 Hezbollah fighters, 14 of whom were killed in Syria, 25 Palestinians, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 22 civilians.

Conservative Influencers: Chabad's Tunnel is Heckin' Based!

After news surfaced that Chabad-Lubavitch had a secret tunnel built under their world headquarters in Crown Heights, conservative "influencers" sprung into action to tell their millions of followers the Orthodox Jewish sect is heckin' basederino!

The Chabad-linked publication CrownHeights.info themselves admitted the tunnels had nothing to do with getting around covid restrictions.

LibsofTikTok's Chaya Raichik, who is a Chabadnik herself, put out the official Chabad line on Twitter blaming "teens" for building the tunnel under the synagogue "on their own," against the will of "synagogue leadership."

"Gen Z was taught that nothing is more important than their feelings and now they're emboldened to act entitled and spoiled with zero regard or respect for others," Raichik said. "We keep seeing this time and again in all our institutions. We must fix the broken education system. The future of our country depends on it."

"This post is misleading," read a community note on her post. "Many people were seen entering and exiting the tunnel. Additionally, the riot at the tunnel entrance suggests there were many people involved in the operation."

We still don't know who built the tunnel as no one seems to have been charged for the crime. The tunnel was unearthed three weeks ago but no one heard about it until Monday due to the riots.

Though building permits in NYC can take months to be granted, police were apparently simply going to fill the tunnel with concrete rather than investigate what the hell is going on.

Vaccine injury, from all vaccines, is far more widespread than people realise

Dr. Larry Palevsky is an American paediatrician who runs the Northport Wellness Centre. On 19 February 2020, he gave testimony to the Connecticut Public Health Committee Public Hearing.

You can read the transcript for the full Public Health Committee hearing held on 19 February 2020 HERE and we have embedded a video of his testimony at the end of this article. The following are excerpts from Dr. Palevsky’s testimony; for ease of reading, we have not put his words between quotes.

One of the assumptions that we heard is that high vaccinations protect those vulnerable and it reduces the probability of those people vaccinated spreading the germ to others.

Never once in my 37 years have I ever seen a study that showed that a vaccination makes the bacteria or the virus disappear from the body of those who were vaccinated.

We are told that unvaccinated children are the only children and the only people who are capable of spreading germs. But that’s not true either because vaccinated children can still spread germs. They can still carry the bacteria and viruses that we vaccinate against and so can adults. Adults can also carry the bacteria and viruses that we vaccinate against.

We are told that when you vaccinate, the bacteria and the virus completely disappear from the earth. Well, they don’t. They change activity, they may mutate and you heard before that the measles virus doesn’t mutate. Well, it does … And even those who are vaccinated can still carry them and transmit them.

We heard that vaccines are unequivocally safe. We have a public health crisis in our midst, chronic illness, brain damage and neurodevelopmental disability … There are chemicals in the vaccines that are shown in animal studies to contribute to this kind of brain inflammation that we are turning our backs on and we are creating many of these children and we are ignoring it for the sake of continuing to vaccinate.

The kind of aluminium that we put into vaccines is a different kind of aluminium that we see environmentally. [It] is called a nanoparticle … We know that the biochemical properties of nanoparticles are that they are capable of entering the brain.

Do they get in the brain? No one has ever studied it but animal studies using the same chemicals that are in vaccines that we give to children, directly demonstrate that the vaccine ingredients do enter the brain.

There are scientists in Europe who have actually done studies on the aluminium nanoparticle and have shown that it can persist in the brain for years and decades. And so, what we are seeing is a large outbreak of neurodevelopmental disabilities in adults including Alzheimer’s. And one of the main factors that they’re finding in the brains of people without Alzheimer’s is the aluminium nanoparticle that’s directly related to the vaccines that we’re giving.

So, we have never studied whether the aluminium that we’re giving in vaccines gets into the brain and we have never measured whether it stays in the brain and what it does if it does stay in the brain.

But we do know that vaccines are supposed to cause inflammation in the body but we have more than half of our children with chronic inflamed conditions and we have never allowed ourselves to ask the question if the vaccines cause inflammation acutely, do they continue to create inflammation chronically?

We have 1 in 5 with neurodevelopmental disabilities, 1 in 10 with ADD and ADHD, 1 in 35 with autism, 1 in 11 with asthma, and 1 in 20 under the age of 5 with seizures.

Aaron Rodgers SUSPENDED from ESPN’s Pat McAfee show after mocking Jimmy Kimmel

"There’s gonna be a lot of people that are happy with that, myself included."

Aaron Rodgers has been suspended from ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show for the rest of the NFL season.

The show’s host said during his Wednesday show that "Aaron Rodgers Tuesday season four is done."

"There’s gonna be a lot of people that are happy with that, myself included."

"I’m happy that that is not going to be my mentions going forward, which is great news. We’re a conversation show, people are having conversations, we live in a country that has freedom of speech, but also you’re gonna have to deal with the consequences of your freedom of speech," McAfee said.

Polish PM Tusk Illegally Arrests Two Opposition MPs INSIDE THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE – President Duda Already Pardoned the Duo, Vows To Have Them Freed

Globalist cheerleader and former President of the European Commission, liberal Polish PM Donald Tusk, has shown his true (and ugly) colors.

He illegally had two nationalist MPs arrested INSIDE the Presidential Palace, in a move sure to inflame the already tense political situation in the country.

Needless to say, the tyrannical move is cheered by the world’s liberal-globalist MSM. Leftist Politico called it Poland’s battle to restore rule of law.

The police entered the country’s presidential palace on Tuesday evening and took two MPs into custody.

They had taken refuge under the protection of President Andrzej Duda, who was out of the palace and kept from arriving at the scene in time by an engineered ‘traffic situation’.

One of the MPs – a political prisoner – has begun a HUNGER STRIKE.

President Duda vowed Wednesday morning that he “won’t rest” until former Home Affairs Minister Mariusz Kamiński and his deputy Maciej Wąsik are released from custody.

Duda has insisted that a pardon he issued for the duo in 2015 is valid.

In another Politico report:

“’I won’t rest until Minister Mariusz Kamiński and his colleagues are free people again, as they should be, until they are released from prison’, Duda said, adding that he was ‘deeply shaken’ by their ‘brutal’ arrest.

According to Duda and the rest of the former Law and Justice (PiS) government camp, Kamiński and Wąsik were arrested illegally and both are still legitimate members of parliament, rejecting a decision by the speaker of parliament — buttressed by a Supreme Court verdict issued Wednesday — that they lost the right to sit as MPs after being convicted of a crime.

CNN Admits All Gaza Coverage Is Run Past Team Under Israeli Military Censor

CNN has long been criticized by media analysts and journalists for its deference to the Israeli government and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in its coverage of the occupied Palestinian territories, and the cable network admitted days ago that it follows a protocol that could give Israeli censors influence over its stories.

A spokesperson for the network confirmed to The Intercept that its news coverage about Israel and Palestine is run through and reviewed by the CNN Jerusalem bureau—which is subject to the IDF's censor.

The censor restricts foreign news outlets from reporting on certain subjects of its choosing and outright censors articles or news segments if they don't meet its guidelines.

Other news organizations often avoid the censor by reporting certain stories about the region through their news desks outside of Israel, The Intercept reported.

"The policy of running stories about Israel or the Palestinians past the Jerusalem bureau has been in place for years," the spokesperson told the outlet. "It is simply down to the fact that there are many unique and complex local nuances that warrant extra scrutiny to make sure our reporting is as precise and accurate as possible."

The spokesperson added that CNN does not share news copy with the censor and called the network's interactions with the IDF "minimal." But James Zogby, founder of the Arab American Institute, said the IDF's approach to censoring media outlets is "Israel's way of intimidating and controlling news."

A CNN staffer who spoke to The Intercept on condition of anonymity confirmed that the network's longtime relationship with the censor has ensured CNN's coverage of Israel's bombardment of Gaza and attacks in the West Bank since October 7 favors Israel's narratives.

"Every single Israel-Palestine-related line for reporting must seek approval from the [Jerusalem] bureau—or, when the bureau is not staffed, from a select few handpicked by the bureau and senior management—from which lines are most often edited with a very specific nuance," the staffer said.

Jerusalem bureau chief Richard Greene announced it had expanded its review team to include editors outside of Israel, calling the new policy "Jerusalem SecondEyes." The expanded review process was ostensibly put in place to bring "more expert eyes" to CNN's reporting particularly when the Jerusalem news desk is not staffed.
