"I'm Not Leaving": Kim Dotcom Defiant After NZ Approves Extradition For Trial In United States

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmithannounced that he had signed an extradition order for Dotcom, saying in a statement: "I considered all of the information carefully, and have decided that Mr Dotcom should be surrendered to the US to face trial," adding "As is common practice, I have allowed Mr Dotcom a short period of time to consider and take advice on my decision."

The extradition order comes 12 years after an FBI-ordered raid on his Auckland mansion. In 2017, the high court in New Zealand first approved his extradition - with an appeal court reaffirming the finding in 2018. In 2020, the country's supreme court again affirmed the finding, however they also left the door open for further judicial review.

Dotcom responded to the decision, posting on Tuesday that "the obedient US colony in the South Pacific just decided to extradite me for what users uploaded to Megaupload."

He later said: "I love New Zealand. I'm not leaving."

Ukrainian soldiers in Nazi SS helmets harass Russian villager (VIDEO)

The incident, presumably filmed by the troops themselves, appears to have taken place in Kursk Region where Kiev has launched an incursion

A video is circulating in social media showing Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers wearing Nazi-style helmets harass an elderly villager in what appears to be Russia’s Kursk Region, where Kiev has been conducting a cross-border assault over the past week. The clip is believed to have been filmed by the soldiers themselves.

The incident appears to have taken place several days ago, but footage of it began to spread online on Thursday. The Mash Telegram channel has suggested that the video was shot on August 11 in the village of Zaoleshenka in Sudhansky district.

In the clip, Ukrainian soldiers can be seen filming a road sign pointing to the city of Belgorod and Korenevo, a settlement in Kursk Region.

The camera then pans to what appears to be a camouflaged SUV equipped with a machine gun and a soldier wearing a helmet resembling those of the Schutzstaffel (SS) - responsible for the most brutal atrocities committed by Nazi Germany during World War II.

UK Man Arrested For Social Media Posts Containing “Anti-Establishment Rhetoric”

The BBC reports that a 40-year-old man has been arrested and criminally charged for social media posts that contained “anti-establishment rhetoric.”

Yes, really.

Wayne O’Rourke becomes the latest example of the wave of authoritarian hysteria to impact free speech in the UK following the recent anti-mass migration riots.

O’Rourke was arrested on Sunday in connection with “posts made from a social media account,” according to Lincolnshire Police.

“Nottingham Magistrates’ Court heard the posts were alleged to contain anti-Muslim and anti-establishment rhetoric,” reports the BBC.

Who Owns America? Oligarchs Have Bought Up the American Dream

As the American people remain distracted by the "us vs them" mind games of identity politics, the American dream has been turned into a nightmare where the interests of the wealthy deteriorate our constitutional republic into a corporate fascist state.

“The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear… They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else… It’s called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it.”—George Carlin

Who owns America?

Is it the government? The politicians? The corporations? The foreign investors? The American people?

While the Deep State keeps the nation divided and distracted by a presidential election whose outcome is foregone (the police state’s stranglehold on power will ensure the continuation of endless wars and out-of-control spending, while disregarding the citizenry’s fundamental rights and the rule of law), America is literally being bought and sold right out from under us.

Consider the facts.

We’re losing more and more of our land every year to corporations and foreign interests. Foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land has increased by 66% since 2010. In 2021, it was reported that foreign investors owned approximately 40 million acres of U.S. agricultural land, which is more than the entire state of Iowa. By 2022 that number had grown to 43.4 million acres. The rate at which U.S. farmland is being bought up by foreign interests grew by 2.2 million acres per year from 2015 to 2021. The number of U.S. farm acres owned by foreign entities grew more than 8% (3.4 million acres) in 2022.

We’re losing more and more of our businesses every year to foreign corporations and interests. Although China owns a small fraction of foreign-owned U.S. land at 380,000 acres (less than the state of Rhode Island), Chinese companies and investors are also buying up major food companies, commercial and residential real estate, and other businesses. As RetailWire explains, “Currently, many brands started by early American pioneers now wave international flags. This revolution is a direct result of globalization.” The growing list of once-notable American brands that have been sold to foreign corporations includes: U.S. Steel (now Japanese-owned); General Electric (Chinese-owned); Budweiser (Belgium); Burger King (Canada); 7-Eleven (Japan); Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge (Netherlands); and IBM (China).

Sweden Announces First Case of More Contagious ‘Mpox’ Strain Found Outside of Africa

The Swedish government has announced the presence of the first confirmed case of a more severe “Mpox” strain diagnosed outside of Africa, the virus formerly known as Monkeypox before it was renamed.

The first case of Clade (‘branch‘) 1 Mpox, which is believed to be more deadly than the Clade 2 which broke out in 2022, has been announced in Sweden. A government press conference on Thursday afternoon revealed the case had caught the virus during a stay in an African country.

Swedish Minister of Social Affairs Jakob Forssmed said in Stockholm: “We have now received confirmation during the afternoon that we have a case of the more serious variant of the virus”, reports Dagens Nyheter. He was joined by Public Health Agency director Olivia Wigzel, who confirmed: “The case is the first caused by the virus variant that has been diagnosed outside the African continent”.

Wigzel assured that the state had sufficient precautions in place and that the wider public is not at risk. It was stated the patient has been issued with “rules of conduct” to reduce risk of further spread inside Sweden.

Mpox causes flu-like symptoms and skin lesions, and in some cases can be fatal. The now-spreading Clade 1 variant is more deadly, and the situation surrounding the disease led the World Health Organisation to declare a public health emergency on Wednesday.

The disease was until recently known as Monkeypox, but as reported in 2022 by the New York Times, it was rebranded after complaints that the name “played into racist stereotypes and fuelled stigmatisation”. This coy approach to the disease persists now, with Reuters’ report on the Sweden case this afternoon euphemistically describing the spread of what is now called Mpox as coming through “close contact”.

The World Health Organisation is more direct, noting in their datasheet that while sexual contact is not the only way to spread the disease, nevertheless most of the cases in the last outbreak were among men who have sex with men.

Feds Arrest Pentagon Worker With Dual Nationality Carrying Classified Info On Way To Flight To Mexico

Feds arrested a 50-year-old dual American-Turkish national Aug. 9 on his way to the airport with classified information on his person and in his home, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said Tuesday.

Gokhan Gun, a civilian chemical engineer employed by the Pentagon who was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2021, faces charges of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material, according to the DOJ. Beginning in at least May, Gun printed over a dozen documents marked as classified and removed the papers “from his authorized work location” without permission, the DOJ alleged.

The DOJ said that earlier in August their “investigators observed Gun exiting his workplace with a bag full of hard copy documents before entering two different residences in Fairfax and Falls Church, both owned by Gun. Authorities arrested Gun as he was on his way to a flight to Mexico, and later found documents marked as classified at his residences.

Agents also recovered a classified document and a “printout listing Gun’s security clearances” in the suspect’s backpack, the DOJ said. Gun claimed that he was going on a fishing trip to Mexico, and agreed to a search of his house, CBS News reported.

Israeli Airstrike Wounds at Least 10 in Southern Lebanon Town

US envoy says war between Israel and Hezbollah can still be avoided

On Wednesday, Israel carried out an airstrike against the southern Lebanese town of al-Abbassieh targeting a motorcycle and two cars. According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, the strike wounded at least 10 people.

Though Israeli strikes typically target Hezbollah members or infrastructure, there is no word that today’s attack hit Hezbollah. The Health Ministry says the wounded were transferred to local hospitals.

The attack comes a day after an Israeli drone strike against a car in Baraachit, also in southern Lebanon, which killed two Hezbollah members. Those killed have yet to be identified, although Hezbollah confirmed it lost members to the strike.

These incidents come during the visit of US envoy Amos Hochstein, who was in Beirut today, to discuss a plan to prevent war in Lebanon. Hochstein is quoted as saying he still believes war between Israel and Hezbollah can be avoided.

Avoiding war has been a top priority for international officials for months, although little progress has been made. Hochstein tied the conflict to a potential ceasefire in Israel’s current war in the Gaza Strip.

That makes sense, as Hezbollah has said in the past that it would only agree to a truce if Israel and Hamas signed a ceasefire in Gaza. So far, such a ceasefire has not happened, and there is no end in sight for the war in the Strip.

Israel approves new settlement on UNESCO site near Bethlehem, occupied West Bank

Israel's settlements in the occupied West Bank are exclusively for the Jewish population and are considered illegal under international law.

Bezalel Smotrich, who also heads civil affairs at the defence ministry, said his office had "completed its work and published a plan for the new Nahal Heletz settlement in Gush Etzion", a bloc of settlements south of Jerusalem.

All of Israel's settlements in the West Bank, occupied since 1967, are considered illegal under international law, regardless of whether they have Israeli planning permission.

"No anti-Israeli and anti-Zionist decision will stop the development of settlements," Smotrich, who lives in a settlement, posted on X.

"We will continue to fight against the dangerous project of creating a Palestinian state by creating facts on the ground."

FOIA Files: Did Special Counsel Robert Mueller Rely on Clinton Campaign Operatives to Point to Russia?

FOIA documents show the Mueller probe may have been informed by a Pentagon agency.

For over eight years, the world has been told that the United States government relied on a private firm called Crowdstrike to investigate the hack of the Democratic National Committee. Both former FBI Director James Comey and Special Counsel Robert Mueller referred to Crowdstrike as a primary source that Russian “conspirators hacked the DNC.”

That narrative was troubling enough and the subject of questions at Congressional hearings. Attempts by members of the public to obtain Crowdstrike’s analysis through FOIA have been shot down time and again owing to corporate “trade secrets” involved, and with Special Counsel Mueller’s July 2018 indictment of those 12 Russians who are unlikely to ever be apprehended, key facts about their investigation were set to be sealed for decades.

New emails obtained by Racket through the Freedom of Information Act, however, suggest there is more to the story. Cyber researchers at Georgia Tech who were indirectly working with the Clinton campaign and Fusion GPS to produce the Alfa Bank claims, also appear to have influenced Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation of the DNC hack.

Racket previously covered the September 2022 letter the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, sent to Senator Grassley, in which DARPA confirmed the cyber researchers authored a DNC hack attribution analysis on August 7, 2016. In relation to other emails and reporting suggesting the cyber researchers also had a hand in assisting Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, DARPA at the time suggested their work was solely “retrospective”:

'Stalin was Jewish, Kabbalists are pedophiles': Candace Owens's antisemitic conspiracies

Tristan Tate, who features on the episode, has been previously been charged with rape and human trafficking in both the UK and Romania.

American conservative commentator Candace Ownes made a number of controversial and conspiratorial claims in the Wednesday episode of her show - including that Stalin was a Jew, Freud was a Kabbalistic pedophile, and the Germans were ethnically cleansed by the Jews after World War II.

The episode featured the American-British influencer Tristan Tate, who, alongside his infamous brother Andrew Tate, has been previously charged with rape and human trafficking in both the UK and Romania, as previously reported by the Jerusalem Post.

The two discussed several topics, including gender identity, pedophilia, and the media, while also speaking on Israel and Jews, perpetuating several antisemitic conspiracy theories.

talinists, according to Owens, were "part of the Jewish cabal." The term cabal is often used as an antisemitic dog whistle, according to the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and numerous other Jewish organizations.

"Jews have long been accused of being part of a secret group that controls the economic and political world order," the AJC shared on its website. "he term cabal originates from the word kabbalah, the Jewish mystical interpretation of the Hebrew Bible. Its sinister use was popularized in A Child’s History of England by Charles Dickens when it was used as an acronym for five English government ministers during the reign of King Charles II. Today, the term “cabal” is used as a dog whistle for Jewish control."

"For a very long time, the media tried to convince us that Stalin and Vladimir Lenin were antisemitic and then I learned Stalin was married a Jew," Owens said.

Pfizer whistleblower exposes fraud, federal court dismisses case

A reader asked me recently what can be done on the legal front against Pfizer and Moderna regarding their genocidal shots that were deceptively marketed as “vaccines” even though they are gene therapies.

First, any meaningful action by the government, the only entity with the power to make them pay, would require an executive branch that respects the rule of law and works on behalf of its people — which obviously doesn’t exist and certainly won’t for as long as the Democrats hold power.

Second, any meaningful action by the government or private entities requires a judiciary that’s also honest and beholden to the rule of law, which would allow fraud lawsuits to proceed unmolested.

If those prerequisites are met, the crux of the matter becomes proving whether Pfizer lied in its clinical trials to push the shots through the emergency use authorization (EUA) process — which it certainly did.

Such lawsuits exist, but they have not met with success so far, one having been summarily dismissed by a federal court before any litigation could occur.

Via Children’s Health Defense (emphasis added):

“For the second time, a federal court in Texas has dismissed a whistleblower lawsuit alleging Pfizer and two of its contractors manipulated data and committed other acts of fraud during clinical trials for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in 2020.

In his Aug. 9 ruling, District Judge Michael J. Truncale sided with the U.S. government, ruling the government had demonstrated “good cause” to intervene and dismiss the case. He wrote:

“The Government’s desire to dismiss the case — because of its doubt as to the case’s merits, differing assessment of the Pfizer vaccine data, desire to avoid discovery and litigation obligations, and belief that it should not have to expend resources in a case that is contrary to its public health policy — constitutes good cause to intervene.”…

According to the lawsuit, the three companies “deliberately withheld crucial information from the United States that calls the safety and efficacy of their vaccine into question,” thus defrauding the federal government, which purchased the vaccines.

The FCA allows the government or a party suing on its behalf to attempt to recover money for false claims made by parties to secure payment from the government.”

Related: Pfizer Whistleblower Exposes Vaxx Trial Fraud

The reason injured parties can’t sue Pfizer directly for the damages they suffered is that the government inexplicably granted it blanket immunity prior to the rollout — the only kind of immunity associated with the shots being legal — a carve-out that doesn’t exist for virtually any other consumer product or service. Injured individuals can neither sue the FDA or any government agency that pushed them, nor employers that mandated them.

The only legal remedy, therefore, is to prove that the EUA authorization Pfizer got itself through bribery and manipulation of data was all based on fraud from the start, which would definitely nullify the emergency use authorization and probably Pfizer’s blanket immunity (any lawyers can weigh in on the latter issue because it’s hazier).

UK doctors ordered to ask men if they’re pregnant

British health authorities have instructed doctors performing X-ray, CT and MRI scans to ask men whether they are pregnant.

The “inclusive pregnancy status guidelines for ionizing radiation” were developed by the Society of Radiographers (SoR). According to The Telegraph, the guidance came in response to an incident in which a transgender man had a CT scan while pregnant. The decision was justified by the fact that the radiation from X-ray, CT and MRI scans can be harmful to unborn babies.

Doctors have therefore been told not to assume the gender identity of patients when performing all such procedures and inquiring of all people between the ages of 12 and 55 about pregnancy, including men, transgender, non-binary, and intersex patients.

A Legal Loophole Is Allowing Companies To Include Unsafe Ingredients in US Foods

The FDA’s current regulations allow food companies to independently determine the safety of thousands of ingredients considered “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS), often without notifying the FDA or disclosing safety data. This practice has led to the addition of many unreviewed substances to the U.S. food supply, raising concerns about the adequacy of post-market oversight and the potential risks of such ingredients.

The food industry can decide which substances are considered “generally recognized as safe” due to gaps in FDA oversight.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for ensuring the safety of the U.S. food supply, including setting nutrition labeling standards, collaborating with companies on food recalls, and addressing foodborne illness outbreaks. However, a recent article in the American Journal of Public Health suggests that the FDA has adopted a more hands-off stance regarding the safety of food additives and certain ingredients already in use.

The current FDA process allows the food industry to regulate itself when it comes to thousands of added ingredients—by determining for itself which ingredients should be considered “generally recognized as safe,” or GRAS—and deciding on their own whether or not to disclose the ingredients’ use and the underlying safety data to the FDA. As a result, many new substances have been added to our food supply without any government oversight.

“Both the FDA and the public are unaware of how many of these ingredients—which are most commonly found in ultra-processed foods —are in our food supply,” said Jennifer Pomeranz, associate professor of public health policy and management at NYU School of Global Public Health and study’s first author.

Classifying GRAS

Since 1958, the FDA has been responsible for evaluating the safety of new chemicals and substances added to foods before they go to market. However, food safety laws distinguish between “food additives” and “GRAS” ingredients. While compounds considered “food additives” must be reviewed and approved by the FDA before they are used in foods, ingredients considered GRAS are exempt from these regulations.

The GRAS designation was initially established for ingredients already found in foods—for instance, vinegar and spices. But under a rule used since 1997, the FDA has allowed the food industry to independently determine which substances fall into this category, including many new substances added to foods. Rather than disclose the new use of these ingredients and the accompanying safety data for FDA review, companies can do their own research to evaluate an ingredient’s safety before going to market, without any notification or sharing of the findings. The FDA suggests—but does not require—that companies voluntarily notify the agency about the use of such substances and their findings, but in practice, many such substances have been added without notification.

Foreign Mercenaries Massively Participating In Ukraine’s Invasion Of Kursk

Foreign mercenaries are playing a major role in the Ukrainian invasion of Kursk. A Ukrainian soldier who surrendered to the Russians has told the truth about the Ukrainian troops involved in the Kursk operation. According to him, there are many foreigners among the military, including people from NATO countries. This is yet another clear example of how Kiev is using international mercenaries in its main combat units, further escalating the internationalization of the conflict.

Recently, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) released a video of an interview with a captured Ukrainian soldier. The prisoner gave details about the troops that invaded Kursk, stating that there are several non-Ukrainians among the soldiers involved in the assault on Kursk, which shows how dependent Kiev is on the services of foreign mercenaries to carry out its operations.

The prisoner identified himself as Ruslan Poltoratsky, a member of the Ukrainian 80th Air Assault Brigade. Poltoratsky was walking in Kursk region when he was captured by a militia of armed civilians who were voluntarily protecting the region. After being handed over to the authorities, Ruslan spoke about the reality of the Ukrainian troops, describing the presence of foreigners. He stated that there was a communication problem due to the fact that the soldiers did not speak Ukrainian, with some fighters speaking English, Polish and French. The difficulty in communicating with his colleagues caused him to get lost on the front lines and end up being captured.

From this report, it is possible to see that the presence of foreigners in Ukraine is so great that it is even beginning to create problems for the military administration. There are communication failures and command errors simply because the soldiers no longer speak the same language. This situation tends to generate more and more problems. It is possible to predict that there will be a wave of failed operations in the near future, with operational errors being made due to communication difficulties among the soldiers themselves.
