Several States Refuse To Remove RFK Jr.'s Name From Ballots, Hurting Trump

After Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the presidential race last week and threw his support behind former President Trump, several states have refused to remove his name from the ballot after he announced he would do so in about 10 swing states.

"Our polling consistently showed that by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues," Kennedy said just before endorsing Trump, Insider reports.

Three key states have dug in and are refusing to remove his name;

Michigan - a key battleground state, said it was too late for Kennedy to withdraw as the nominee of the Natural Law Party.

Wisconsin - whose Elections Commission voted 5-1 on Tuesday against removing his name, citing a law which says "any person who files nomination papers and qualifies to appear on the ballot may not decline nomination."

Colorado - which, while less competitive for Trump than Michigan or Wisconsin, also refused to remove Kennedy's name.

"Minor party candidates cannot withdraw, so his name will remain on the ballot in the November election," said Cheri Hardmon, a spokesperson for Michigan Secretary of State in a statement to the Detroit News.

"The Natural Law Party held their convention to select electors for Robert Kennedy Jr. They cannot meet at this point to select new electors since it's past the primary," she added.

West Bank Explodes Overnight With Largest IDF Raid In Decades, 'Evacuations' Could Be Next

The situation in the already restive and tense West Bank has exploded overnight, following major Israeli military raids into the Palestinian territory involving hundreds of IDF troops.

Three areas were targeted simultaneously in what is the largest security raid on the occupied West Bank in two decades. Even fighter jets provided support on the assault on Jenin, Tulkarem and Tubas - and drones and bulldozers were seen operating as well. The ongoing operation impacts an area of some 80,000 Palestinians total.

The situation in the already restive and tense West Bank has exploded overnight, following major Israeli military raids into the Palestinian territory involving hundreds of IDF troops.

Three areas were targeted simultaneously in what is the largest security raid on the occupied West Bank in two decades. Even fighter jets provided support on the assault on Jenin, Tulkarem and Tubas - and drones and bulldozers were seen operating as well. The ongoing operation impacts an area of some 80,000 Palestinians total.

At least ten Palestinians have been killed, including three after a targeted drone strike on their vehicle.

Israel’s military has said that the nine deceased were "armed terrorists who posed a threat to security forces." The IDF further said "wanted suspects" have been rounded up in in Jenin and Tulkarem, and that IEDs have been uncovered and dismantled.

While much of the Gaza Strip has seen frequent evacuation orders due to the over 10-month long IDF anti-Hamas operation there, Israeli leadership is controversy mulling potential evacuations for parts of the West Bank.

Large-scale evacuations would be an unprecedented move in the territory which is administered by the Palestinian Authority (PA).

Big Pharma's Big Lie: What Does a Fraudulent Vaccine Safety Study Look Like?

Vaccine companies are doing studies that claim to demonstrate the safety of new vaccines but are carefully designed and conducted to intentionally hide the toxicity of these vaccines.

New vaccines should be proven safe before they are accepted onto the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) vaccine schedule.

Here is what is actually happening: Vaccine companies are doing studies that claim to demonstrate the safety of new vaccines but are carefully designed and conducted to intentionally hide the toxicity of these vaccines.

To see how this is done, read on.

What does an honest vaccine safety study look like?

An honest safety study must have a test group that gets the vaccine and a control group that gets a harmless placebo. Injuries and deaths are compared in the two groups.

If the test group has many more adverse events than the placebo control group, the vaccine is not safe.

Most people would be shocked to learn that none of the vaccines on the CDC vaccine schedule have been safety tested in this way.

What does a fraudulent vaccine safety study look like?

Rule No. 1 for conducting a fraudulent study: Do not have a placebo control group. Here is where the fraud is happening: The “control group” is deliberately given something that is as toxic as the vaccine being tested. It can be an older vaccine or the vaccine ingredients minus the antigen.

The results will show that the injuries and deaths are similar in both groups. That is because they are both receiving toxic ingredients. The new vaccine is then illogically declared safe.

If there is no placebo control group, the toxicity of the vaccine is hidden. This is both clever and diabolical. Can you see it?

Biden-Harris Admin Reportedly Preparing To Resume Migrant Flight Program Plagued With Fraud

The Biden-Harris administration is reportedly preparing to resume a migrant flight program that was recently paused due to the discovery of rampant fraud.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) could resume a mass-parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, more popularly known as CHNV, as soon as this week, NBC News reported. News of the program’s possible restart comes less than a month after an internal audit discovering massive potential fraud prompted DHS officials to pause the program entirely.

Pope Francis: Turning Away Migrants Is a ‘Grave Sin’

Immigration laws should not be made stricter but rather looser, to allow more immigrants to cross international borders, Pope Francis said Wednesday.

“Rather than more restrictive laws and the militarization of borders, what is needed is an expansion of secure and regular means of access,” the pontiff told those present for his weekly General Audience, “and a global governance of migrations based on justice, fraternity and solidarity.”

“It must be said clearly: there are those who work systematically and by any means to turn away migrants – to turn away migrants,” the pope stated. “And this, when done with conscience and responsibility, is a grave sin.”

God “shares the drama of migrants, God is with them, with migrants, he suffers with them, with migrants, he weeps and hopes with them, with migrants,” he insisted, adding that the Lord is with our migrants, “not with those who turn them away.”

‘Two-Tier Justice’ — Farage Attacker Spared Jail Time After Throwing Cement at Brexit Leader

The man who attacked Reform UK leader Nigel Farage during his election campaign in June has been spared jail time, sparking accusations of “two-tier justice” in Britain.

Josh Greally, 28, pled guilty to a public order offence, common assault, and causing criminal damage this week at the Barnsley Magistrates’ Court over reportedly throwing wet cement at Nigel Farage as the Brexit leader campaigned from his battle bus in Barnsley.

While he was sentenced to six weeks in prison, the court suspended his sentence for 12 months, meaning that he will likely not face any prison time for the attack.

Israel Kills 41 Palestinians Across Gaza

The Israeli military says it freed a Bedouin man who was captured by Hamas on October 7

On Tuesday, Gaza’s Health Ministry said that Israeli forces killed at least 41 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in the previous 24-hour period.

“Israeli forces killed 41 people and injured 113 others in three ‘massacres’ of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said. “Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them.”

Israeli strikes were reported across the Gaza Strip, in the north, the south, and central areas, including Khan Younis, Deir al-Balah, and Gaza City. Amid the onslaught, Israel said that it freed a Bedouin man who was taken captive by Hamas on October 7.

The Israeli military said it rescued 52-year-old Kaid Farhan al-Kadi from a tunnel in southern Gaza. Al-Kadi is a resident of Rahat, one of the few Bedouin towns in the Negev Desert that Israel recognizes. According to Al Jazeera, he was working as a guard at a warehouse in southern Israel when he was captured on October 7.

IT malfunction cripples Netherlands defense, halts Eindhoven Airport, and disrupts emergency systems, stranding travelers.

The Netherlands is grappling with significant IT disruptions following a network outage at the Dutch Ministry of Defense, causing a ripple effect that has paralyzed various government services and systems. This unprecedented incident has raised alarms across the nation, as the impact of the outage continues to unfold.

The disruption began at the heart of the Ministry of Defense, but it quickly spread to other parts of the government, showcasing the vulnerabilities within the country’s critical infrastructure. The effects were immediately felt at Eindhoven Airport, where flights were grounded, leaving passengers stranded and frustrated. The chaos at the airport was just the tip of the iceberg.

Even more concerning was the impact on emergency services. Communication systems for the Coast Guard, police, and other emergency responders were compromised, leaving these vital services struggling to operate effectively. Although the national emergency number 112 remained operational, the outage highlighted the fragility of the networks that these services depend on.

Other government services weren’t spared either, with various departments experiencing outages that disrupted day-to-day operations. The scope of this IT failure is a stark reminder of the dependence on digital infrastructure and the catastrophic consequences when it fails.

As the nation reels from this disruption, questions linger about the cause. The fact that the source of the outage is still under investigation fuels speculation about whether this could have been a cyber attack. The uncertainty only adds to the unease, as officials work to restore normalcy and prevent future incidents.

This event serves as a wake-up call to the vulnerabilities within critical government systems.

Lawsuit Accuses DOJ Of Secretly Surveilling Congressional Staff Investigating It

A group dedicated to independent oversight of government and corporate wrongdoing is suing the Department of Justice for allegedly surveilling various congressional staff members who were actively engaged in oversight of the DOJ.

Empower Oversight filed a lawsuit on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to compel compliance with the Freedom of Information Act.

“These records will show the lengths to which DOJ went starting in 2016 to secretly surveil various congressional staff members (of both political parties) who were actively engaged in oversight of DOJ pursuant to their constitutional authorities,” the lawsuit states. “That surveillance is undisputed, as various third-party technology companies have alerted current and former congressional staff members that the companies received subpoenas for the staffers’ communications records, along with non-disclosure orders (NDOs) that prevented the companies from notifying the staff members.”

The lawsuit substantiated its argument by noting:

On October 19, 2023, Empower Oversight’s founder, Jason Foster, received a notification that DOJ had served a subpoena on Google in 2017 for records of a Google email address and two Google Voice telephone numbers connected to Mr. Foster’s family’s telephones and his official work phone at the U.S. Senate. At the time, in 2017, Mr. Foster was Chief Investigative Counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, and he was responsible for directing congressional oversight investigations into waste, fraud, abuse and misconduct at DOJ. Although Google received this subpoena in 2017, it was unable to notify Mr. Foster about the subpoenas until 2023, because DOJ also sought and received several NDOs related to the subpoena.

The lawsuit continued:

After receiving the notice from Google, Mr. Foster learned that several of the other accounts listed in the subpoena belonged to other staffers, both Republicans and Democrats, for U.S. House and Senate committees also engaged in oversight of DOJ. Despite the obvious and serious separation-of-powers issues raised by such subpoenas, DOJ did not provide any of this background to Google when it served the subpoena.

Israel buying ads on Google searches of 'Unrwa' to discredit UN agency

Ad draws Google users to website filled with allegations linking UN agency to Hamas, according to a report by Wired

According to the report, the Israeli government advertising agency bought ads for searches for "Unrwa" and "Unrwa USA" to draw search users to a website linking the agency to Hamas.

On the government-run website, Israel alleges that Unrwa has not declared whether employing Hamas members violates its neutrality, a charge the agency strongly rejects.

In January, several western countries suspended financing Unrwa after Israel accused 12 of the organisation's 30,000 employees of participating in the surprise attack by Hamas on southern Israel on 7 October.

The Colonna report, which was commissioned by the UN to probe Israel's allegations, found that Israeli authorities had not provided "any supporting evidence" to back up allegations of Unrwa staff links to Hamas.
