State attorneys general say more than 85,000 children lost at the border

 

They are asking Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and FBI Director Christopher Wray to provide information on when the children were last seen and what safeguards are in place to ensure they are placed with family members.

 

The Center Square) - Twenty-two state attorneys general said Monday more than 85,000 migrant children could be lost based on a report from the Department of Health and Human Services.

 

The report issued this month shows many of the children could be in the labor market or sex trafficked, they said in a letter.

 

"By law, the Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for keeping these children safe when they arrive," the attorneys general said in their letter. "That responsibility includes reuniting children with family or placing them with a sponsor who will protect them from trafficking and exploitation. But that Department is not living up to its responsibilities, and the cost of that failure is tens of thousands of missing children."

 

The attorneys general said the Biden administration needs to find the missing children. They are asking Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and FBI Director Christopher Wray to provide information on when the children were last seen and what safeguard

 

"The Department of Health and Human Services must ensure that it is not handing over children to criminals and sex traffickers," the attorneys general said. "It cannot do so if it does not know to whom it is handing these children."

 

Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird led the coalition along with Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch and Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes.

 

“Losing 85,000 kids is like losing the entire population of Sioux City," Bird said. "This is unacceptable. As a mom, it makes me sick to know that many of these missing kids have been trapped into forced labor and exploited by heinous sex traffickers. It’s the federal government’s job to keep these children safe. I’ve joined with 21 other attorneys general in demanding that the Biden Administration immediately locate and protect these children.”

Insider Admits Google Is Run by the CIA and Is Rigging the U.S. Election

 

The CIA completely controls Google and is working to secretly rig the U.S. election to ensure their favorite candidate wins, according to an insider.

 

Google’s monopoly status and its unusually high number of ex-CIA employees explains why its algorithm is weighted to disproportionately produce “news” from the establishment hard-Left such as the New York Times and CNN:

 

… you can have voter ID, paper ballots, get rid of “early voting,” etc., etc., etc., and still not have a functional democracy if the government can censor the information available to voters (e.g., Hunter-laptop) and plant false information (e.g., Russia-bounties, the military are “suckers and losers”). America does NOT have a functional democracy because of government censorship.

DECONSTRUCTING H.R. 3202: THE ISRAEL LOBBY’S PERSISTENT ROLE IN SANCTIONING SYRIA

 

On February 13, the U.S. House of Representatives deliberated on Resolution 3202, the “Assad Regime Anti-Normalization Act of 2023.” The following day, the House passed the bill with a 389 to 32 bipartisan majority. Now, the bill moves on to the Senate, where it will most likely pass with similar bipartisan support and a ringing endorsement from President Biden once it reaches his desk.

 

The bill was pushed with a veneer of Syrian support represented by the advocacy of the Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF) and the Syrian American Council (SAC) – Syrian opposition groups in the U.S. While its aims seem, at face value, to focus on humanitarian issues and a quest for accountability, the reality is much more complicated.

 

THE BILL’S STATED AIMS

The bill was presented to the public as a tool for accountability purely targeting the Assad-led government of Syria and any of its in-country partners. The bill purports to achieve this by “Prohibiting any U.S. official action to normalize relations with any Syrian government led by Bashar al-Assad, “Strengthening the human rights sanctions levied on Syria,” and” Examining the Assad government’s manipulation of the United Nations.”

 

In keeping with the polite presentation of the bill, Moaz Moustafa, SETF Executive Director, said: “We are proud to see legislation that holds the Assad regime and those normalizing with war criminals accountable” as a response to the passage of the bill.

 

Similarly, on the House floor, House Foreign Relations Committee chairman Mike McCaul announced that “Congress is sending a message that it remains committed to justice for the Syrian people.”

 

THE BILL’S TRUE AIMS

While the stated aims seem to be focused on accountability and human rights, the real thrust of the bill was conveniently left unmentioned in the SETF and house representatives’ celebratory posts on X (formerly Twitter).

 

One line, deep within the 22-page bill, reads: “Section 7438 of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019 is amended by striking ‘the date that is 5 years after the date of the enactment of this Act’ and inserting ‘December 31, 2032.'” This hidden line, left out of all the explainer content dished out by SETF and SAC, extends the Caesar Act, set to expire in 2024, for eight more years.

 

The perversely named Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019 has immiserated the more than 12 million Syrian people living under the government of Syria. Since the enactment of the Act, the percentage of the Syrian population below the poverty line has reached 90%, 600,000 Syrian children’s growth was stunted, and cases of anemia in pregnant and breastfeeding women saw a 60% rise.

 

Described as “unprecedented,” as one of the “strictest and most complex collective regimes in recent history,” and as the “most complicated and far-reaching sanctions regimes ever imposed,” the Syrian groups pushing for Caesar’s eight-year extension understandably shied away from mentioning the most crucial part of this new bill, even though they helped provide Syrian cover for its passing.

US AND UKRAINIAN SPECIAL SERVICES PREPARED CHEMICAL ATTACK IN ZAPOROZHIE REGION

 

On February 27, Russian security forces thwarted a terrorist attack prepared by the Ukrainian special services in the Zaporozhye region. A group of pro-Ukrainian terrorists were supposed to use a combat chemical agent similar to the one developed by the United States.

 

FSB officers detained three Ukrainian citizens who were preparing a terrorist attack with a special military chemical agent BZ. All three detainees are employees of the Ukrainian special services.

 

The seized substances are used to create chemical weapons of mass destruction. The substances were developed in the United States.

 

A similar substance was recently discovered in a cache in Melitopol. Apparently, the terrorist attack was also being prepared in the same city. A week ago, Chief of Russian Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops reported the discovery of a Ukrainian cache with an analogue of the toxic substance BZ in Melitopol on January 28. It was discovered in vials with the inscription “Biosporin” in Ukrainian.

 

According to information from open sources, BZ is a psychochemical chemical warfare agent that causes acute psychosis, loss of orientation, and hallucinations.

 

Criminal cases were launched against the detainees accused of ”development, production, accumulation, acquisition or sale of weapons of mass destruction” and “terrorist activities” in the Zaporozhie region.

Makow- If you're not an antisemite, you are uninformed. Organized Jewry is waging a despicable war on God and man, on civilization itself. Jews must disavow both branches of Freemasonry. Jews cannot continue to blame "antisemitism" when they are clearly a rogue nation at war with humanity. Organized Jewry (WEF) is the Deep State. It has usurped control of our governments, rigged our elections, poisoned our bodies & skies, destroyed our marriages and families, corrupted our children, erased our national heritages, and attempted to eliminate the white race. What does it take to make you angry?

U.S. Ships 2,000 lb Bombs to Israel to Use on Gaza

 

Israel now not only is intensifying its bombing of Rafah and the South but it is rapidly carving a one mile-wide super corridor highway straight through the heart of Gaza, from West to East, to split Gaza into two more militarily-controllable sectors. It doesn’t care what the UN’s international Criminal Court or its Court of Justice may ever say about Israel and the United States intentions. They both are impervious to rationality. They both know they have the U.S. veto in the bag to block everything.

 

Meanwhile, to prepare for its next carpet bombing campaign, similar to what the Americans did to the Vietnamese in Vietnam, the Zionists will be using the same 2,000 lb bombs the Americans used in Vietnam with the same devastating effect; while countries like Canada, continue to find bureaucratic loopholes to ship their military war hardware and blood monies of their taxpayers to Israel via the U.S.

 

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

 

“And, it’s One, Two, Three, What Are We Fighting For, Don’t worry I Don’t Give a Damn, Next Stop is, OH, Who Gives a Damn!”

 

Nothing will ever stop the warmongering of America and Israel and their Western allies.

 

Not the charge of genocide by the UN!

 

Not rational diplomatic negotiations!

 

Not any religious moral arm-twisting by the Pope or some other religious leader!

 

That is, if there still even remotely exists the possibility of such things happening.

 

Nothing short of the world, collectively, at once imposing a total arms embargo and BDS movement against the Zionists will ever work; which, of course, will never happen.

 

So the world is faced with a conundrum: Either the utter extermination of the Palestinians, or the eventuality of some nuclear calamity at some point in time. Isn’t that lovely!

Canada–Details of new "online harms" legislation to regulate the internet have emerged, revealing that the bill could lead to more people jailed for life or fined $20,000 for posts that the government defines as "hate speech" based on gender, race, or other categories.

 

Trudeau's 'online harms' legislation includes life imprisonment for 'hate speech'

As part of the new bill, the Trudeau Liberals are looking to increase punishments for existing hate propaganda offenses in a substantial manner.

 

Bill C-63 is titled “An Act to enact the Online Harms Act, to amend the Criminal Code, the Canadian Human Rights Act and An Act respecting the mandatory reporting of Internet child pornography by persons who provide an Internet service and to make consequential and related amendments to other Acts.”

 

It was introduced by Justice Minister Arif Virani in the House of Commons today and passed its first reading in the afternoon.

 

The new bill will create the Online Harms Act and modify existing laws, amending the Criminal Code as well as the Canadian Human Rights Act, in what the Liberals under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claim will target certain cases of internet content removal, notably those involving child sexual abuse and pornography.

 

According to the Trudeau government, Bill C-63 aims to protect kids from online harms and crack down on non-consensual deep-fake pornography involving children and will target seven types of online harms, such as hate speech, terrorist content, incitement to violence, the sharing of non-consensual intimate images, child exploitation, cyberbullying and inciting self-harm.

 

Virani had many times last year hinted a new Online Harms Act bill would be forthcoming.

 

While the Trudeau government claims the bill is being created to protect kids, Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) leader Pierre Poilievre said the federal government is looking for clever ways to enact internet censorship laws.

 

During a February 21, press conference, Poilievre said that Trudeau is looking to in effect criminalize speech with he does not like.

Geoengineering Ramps Up With Large-Scale Government Projects Across the Globe.

 

Large-scale geo-engineering deliberate interventions to alter the earth's climate will be taking place in the near future. What was once the province of science fiction will soon become part of the official strategies to fight climate change.

 

Many geoengineering techniques were considered "taboo" until recently by scientists, who feared devastating unintended consequences. These include "dumping chemicals in the ocean" and "injecting reflective particles in the sky." However, growing alarm at the "climate crisis" is causing scientists, with private and government support, to conduct pilot experiments worldwide.

 

The Wall Street Journal reports: “The shift reflects growing concern that efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions aren’t moving fast enough to prevent the destructive effects of heat waves, storms and floods made worse by climate change. According to scientists and business leaders involved in the projects, geoengineering isn’t a substitute for reducing emissions. Rather, it is a way to slow climate warming… while buying time to switch to a carbon-free economy.”

IT’S HAPPENING.

The story reveals that at least three geoengineering experiments are currently taking place around the world. In Australia, researchers from Southern Cross University are releasing a brine mixture into the sky to create larger, brighter clouds that will reflect more sunlight, reducing local temperatures. The Australian government, universities, and conservation organizations are funding the project. Israeli startup Stardust Solutions — with $15 million in private backing — is testing a delivery system to disperse reflective particles at high altitudes, again to reduce solar radiation. The startup is currently testing the system indoors but will move to outdoor tests in the “next few months.” The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute plans to add 6,000 gallons of sodium hydroxide into the ocean off Martha’s Vineyard. They aim to produce a carbon sink that draws carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and into the sea. This project has a combination of U.S. government and private funding. The release of the chemical will require further approval from the Environmental Protection Agency. Geoengineering made headlines last year when California startup Make Sunsets launched weather balloons containing sulfur dioxide to gauge their effectiveness at releasing the chemical at high altitudes. The revelation of the launches, conducted in Mexico without government approval, drew significant criticism from the scientific community. Mexico’s government announced it would prevent further launches within its territory. Make Sunsets CEO Luke Eisen was unrepentant. He said the company would continue to release as much sulfur into the atmosphere as “we can get customers to pay us” to release. The startup offers a “cooling credit” system, where customers can pay $10 for a gram of sulfur dioxide to be used as a payload in future balloon launches.

CHANGING ATTITUDES.

Since then, official attitudes towards geoengineering within the scientific community and government have become distinctly more sanguine. A former MIT director’s recent essay in The New York Times urged governments to focus on geoengineering because carbon-reduction schemes have failed. Around the same time, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres claimed the era of global warming was over and that a new era of “global boiling” had begun. “Climate change is here,” he said. “It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning. It is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C [i.e. above pre-industrial levels] and avoid the very worst of climate change. But only with dramatic, immediate climate action.”

Israel, Ukraine fighting 'same battle' against humanity, international law — Russian envoy

 

Ukraine was trying to present its 10 year-long killing of civilians in Donbass as fight with terrorists, Russian first deputy permanent representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky said

 

Israel and Ukraine are fighting a battle against humanity and international humanitarian law, Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky said.

 

"Ukraine and Israel are definitely fighting the same battle - against humanity and international humanitarian law!" the Russian diplomat wrote on his page on X.

 

"Together with the United Nations we will resist Israel’s attempts to present killing of civilians in Gaza in blatant violation of international humanitarian law as fight with terrorists. In the same way as Ukraine was trying to present its 10 year-long killing of civilians in Donbass as fight with terrorists and finally got rebuffed by the International Court of Justice," Polyansky warned.

 

"Delirium continues…A week ago we heard from the Israeli Representative that 'the United Nations is Hamas.' Today - that Russia is Hamas," Polyansky wrote, referring to a recent remark by Gilad Erdan, Israel’s UN Ambassador, who compared Russia’s actions in Ukraine to the Hamas attack on Israel.

FAA Finds 17 Corrective Actions For SpaceX After Second Starship Explosion

 

The US Federal Aviation Administration has completed its investigation into the second flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket, which ended in an explosion in late 2023. Following the investigation, the space exploration company and the FAA agreed on new procedures before the next launch.

 

SpaceX pinpointed the root causes of the explosion, which were then acknowledged and accepted by the FAA. These corrective measures include hardware redesigns, updated control system modeling, re-evaluation of engine analyses, updated engine control algorithms, operational changes, flammability analysis updates, and installation of additional fire protection.

 

"Prior to the next launch, SpaceX must implement all corrective actions and receive a license modification from the FAA that addresses all safety, environmental and other applicable regulatory requirements," regulators wrote in an emailed statement.

 

"The FAA is evaluating SpaceX's license modification request and expects SpaceX to submit additional required information before a final determination can be made," they added.

 

To recap on the Starship mishap during the mid-November launch that prompted an FAA investigation, Houston Chronicle explains here:

 

During the launch on Nov. 18 that sparked the review, all 33 of the Super Heavy rocket engines ignited and burned for their full duration. Then the rocket separated from the Starship spacecraft using a new hot-stage technique that fired Starship's engines while it was still attached to the rocket.

 

Super Heavy was supposed to land in the Gulf of Mexico. It ignited 13 of its 33 engines to return for the landing, but several engines began shutting down and one engine "failed energetically," SpaceX said. The booster ultimately blew up more than three and a half minutes into the flight when the rocket was about 55 miles above the Gulf of Mexico, SpaceX said in an update released Monday.

 

Meanwhile, the Starship spacecraft successfully lit its six engines and began traveling toward its intended landing site off the coast of Hawaii. It began venting liquid oxygen propellant as planned, but a leak developed that led to a fire. Communications were lost between the spacecraft's flight computers.

 

The onboard flight termination system blew up the spacecraft when it was roughly 93 miles above the Earth, according to SpaceX.

 

Before the next launch, SpaceX must implement corrective actions and receive a license modification from the FAA.

 

"More Starships are ready to fly, putting flight hardware in a flight environment to learn as quickly as possible," the company said.

 

Some X users speculate the next Starship launch could happen as soon as next month. As noted above, SpaceX would have to receive the launch license first.

Houthis Deny Israeli Media Reports They Sabotaged Internet Cables Under Red Sea

 

Update(1440ET): The Houthi military spokesman has explicitly denied any intention to knock out undersea regional internet cables in a fresh Tuesday statement, however, he reiterated that the Iran-linked group's top goal is to block commercial shipping and supplies to Israel.

 

The full statement is as follows, cited in Al Mayadeen news: "We are keen to spare all cables and their services from any risks and to provide the necessary facilities for their maintenance. The decision to prevent the passage of Israeli ships does not include ships belonging to international companies licensed to carry out marine cable work."

 

Over the past two days there were widespread reports that up to four undersea telecoms cables in the Red Sea area between the Saudi city of Jeddah and the state of Djibouti were damaged. As we reported below, the operator Seacom reported connectivity problems, following reports which originated in Israeli media sources. Sky News Arabia had also picked up on the reports Monday.

Controversial Israeli weapons company awarded $600 million Australian army contract

 

In short: Israeli company Elbit Systems has been awarded a fresh defence contract worth $600 million.

The company's technology was stripped from Australian Army equipment over possible data security concerns three years ago.

What's next? The contract is expected to be performed "over a period of five years".

An Israeli company whose technology was stripped from Australian Army equipment over possible data security concerns three years ago has been awarded a fresh defence contract worth $600 million.

 

Elbit Systems has confirmed it will provide "advanced protection, fighting capabilities and sensors" for new Korean-designed Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) being constructed in the Victorian electorate of Defence Minister Richard Marles.

 

In July last year, South Korean company Hanwha clinched the approximately $10 billion LAND 400 Phase 3 Project to deliver 129 of its Redback IFVs to the Army, beating a rival bid from German company Rheinmetall.

 

Originally Hanwha had partnered with Canberra-based defence company Electro Optic Systems (EOS) to produce a high-tech turret for its IFV, but the arrangement was broken off in favour of a joint venture struck with Elbit Systems in June 2022.

 

In a statement issued from its headquarters in the city of Haifa, Elbit Systems stated it had been "awarded a contract worth approximately $600 million to supply systems to Hanwha Defence Australia for the Australian LAND 400 Phase 3 Project".

 

"This project aims to deliver advanced protection, fighting capabilities and sensors suite to the Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) for the Australian Army", the company said, while revealing the contract would be performed "over a period of five years".

 

"This milestone reaffirms our commitment to delivering advanced, mission-critical solutions to the Australian Army," Elbit Systems President and CEO Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis said.

 

"Elbit Systems is dedicated to supplying cutting-edge defence technologies that will safeguard troops on the modern battlefield," Mr Machlis added in the brief company statement issued this week.

FOIA Request Sheds Light on DIA’s Records Pertaining to ‘Havana Syndrome’

 

Havana Syndrome first came to light when U.S. Embassy staff in Havana, Cuba, reported experiencing unexplained health issues, including headaches, dizziness, and hearing loss. Similar incidents have since been reported by American personnel in various countries, leading to speculation about the cause, ranging from sonic attacks to microwave weapons.

The Black Vault’s request aimed to uncover DIA reports, memos, assessments, and intelligence records pertaining to Havana Syndrome from 2016 to the date of processing. After a lengthy delay, the DIA located one document, consisting of six pages, responsive to the request. However, portions of the document were withheld under FOIA Exemptions 1, 3, and 6, citing reasons related to national security, protection of intelligence sources and methods, and privacy concerns.
