Author Lee Smith: “We Knew the Clinton Campaign was Giving Information to FBI – It Now Appears FBI was Giving Information to Clinton Campaign as Well”

 

On Friday the FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was exonerated after admitting to leaking classified information to the press and lying about it under oath several times.

 

On Friday we also learned the conduct at the Obama FBI under James Comey, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe and others was much worse than we thought.

 

Last night author Lee Smith joined Jason Chaffetz on The Ingraham Angle on Friday night to discuss the latest developments in the Spygate scandal.

 

The more we learn – the more corruption is revealed at the top levels of the Obama intelligence community.

 

On Friday Eric Felton at Real Clear Investigations observed: “Buried in IG Report: How an FBI Team in Rome Gave Steele Highly Guarded Secrets.”

 

Felton points to a meeting in Rome a month before the 2016 election:

 

A month before the 2016 presidential election, the FBI met Christopher Steele in Rome and apparently unlawfully shared with the foreign opposition researcher some of the bureau’s most closely held secrets, according to unpublicized disclosures in the recent Justice Department Inspector General report on abuses of federal surveillance powers.

 

What’s more, Steele, the former British spy who compiled the “dossier” of conspiracy theories for the Hillary Clinton campaign, was promised $15,000 to attend the briefing by FBI agents eager to maintain his cooperation in their Trump-Russia collusion investigation codenamed Crossfire Hurricane.

 

That investigation was so closely guarded that only a handful of top officials and agents at the FBI were allowed to know about it.

 

The report by Inspector General Michael Horowitz details how a team of FBI agents in early October 2016 shared with Steele extensive classified materials, just weeks before the bureau cut off ties with him for leaking his own research to the media. The secrets included foreign intelligence information still considered so sensitive that the IG’s report refers to it even now only as coming from a “Friendly Foreign Government.” In fact, this is a reference to Australia. That country’s ambassador to Britain sent the United States a tip about loose talk by junior Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos. The FBI has described that as the predicate for its Trump-Russia investigation.

 

The IG report also discloses that FBI agents knew Steele worked for Glenn Simpson, whose opposition research firm Fusion GPS was paying Steele to dig up dirt on Trump for the Clinton campaign, and that Steele informed the FBI that the “candidate” – Clinton herself – knew about Steele’s work.

 

According to Lee Smith, the information sharing between the Clinton campaign and the DOJ-FBI was much more extensive than previously reported.

 

Author Lee Smith: We have known for a long time, of course, that Steele and the Clinton Campaign was providing information to the FBI. It now appears the FBI was giving information to the Clinton campaign, as well. Was that in order to direct the FISA so that they could obtain the spy warrant?… People involved who were sharing this information with Steele including Peter Strzok and Bill Priestap.

Senate Requests Interviews with Deep State Actors, Including Kieran Ramsey, Related to Deep State Actions in Italy!

 

In May we reported that rumors were swirling that the firings of top Italian spies were related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and President Trump in a scandal involving Hillary’s emails. Nellie Ohr documents provided additional support that this was the case. The Senate is now asking for testimonies from Deep State actors related to Italy.

 

We reported in late May 2019 that Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump.

 

We also reported that Neonrevolt had uncovered some shocking news related to the recent removal of these top Italian intelligence ministers from their positions as top spies in the government.

 

The story begins in January 2017 when Computer World wrote about alleged crimes committed by Italian Giulio Occhionero:

 

The Tuesday arrest of Giulio Occhionero and his sister, Francesca Maria, has brought to light what appears to be the biggest, and highest-profile, hacking of institutional and corporate accounts ever reported in Italy.

 

The siblings have been planting the Pyramid Eye remote access Trojan on computers using a spear-phishing technique over several years, according to the arrest order.

 

They attacked at least 18,000 high-profile targets, including former Prime Ministers Matteo Renzi and Mario Monti, President of European Central Bank Mario Draghi, as well as employees and heads of various ministries including Internal Affairs, Treasury, Finance and Education.

 

But Giulio Occhionero claimed that he and his sister, Francesca Maria, were set up. A piece reported by Frederico Punzi, writing in The Atlantico, notes their denials and more:

 

Occhionero complained to the Prosecutor of the Republic of Perugia and wrote to the U.S. Congress and the FBI. In fact, there are a number of contradictions and suspicious circumstances in the case.

 

Occhionero provided the letter that he claims he sent US Congress and the FBI:

As noted above, Pam Riste provided a translated copy of the article posted in Italy. The portion related to Occhionero is as follows –

 

Nellie Ohr mentioned Occhionero along side the Steele dossier. She doesn’t seem to need to explain who Occhionero is indicating her husband knew all along who he was. The fact that the Bruce and Nellie Ohr both know who this man in Italy is, along with the fact that Italian police asked Occhionero’s friend about the Occhionero’s relationship to Trump, indicates a deep knowledge of the events in Italy and the UK with the Russia collusion sham.

 

Yesterday, on February 14, 2020, the US Senate sent a letter to AG Bill Barr requesting that he make some individuals that currently work for the DOJ available for questions from the Senate. One of the individuals is related to Occhionero’s situation:

But would anyone notice? CNN breaks ‘report’ of Syrian airstrikes… from 2018

 

CNN readers anxious to get updates on the Syrian war have been treated with a fresh report on the “regime’s atrocities” citing the usual suspects… or it would only seem so, as the network reran a two-year-old story instead.

 

Citing the UK-based and rebel-linked Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the story claims that forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad killed at least 71 people and injured 325 others in a series of airstrikes on rebel-held Eastern Ghouta. Published this week, the report is featured on CNN website’s ‘World’ and ‘Middle East’ sections.

 

The only problem is that Ghouta has been under the control of Assad’s government for nearly two years. Homes in the region are being rebuilt, not leveled by bombs.

 

In fact, CNN ran the same story, word for word, back in February 2018. The same paragraphs detailing the horrendous bombing appeared, along with a handy get-out-clause: “CNN could not independently verify the claim.”

 

So why tell old news again? Did the network feel the need to remind its readers again which side they should take in Syria’s eight-year civil war? Did its editors slip in an old story under the radar to bulk up its weekend coverage?

Fiat Chrysler To Shut Serbia Plant As Covid-19-Shock Paralyzes Global Supply Chains

 

It's certainly plausible that the global economy is in the early stages of grinding to a halt. Already, we've noted that two-thirds of China's economy is offline, with major industrial hubs idle and 400 million people quarantined.

 

The next phase of the supply chain chaos is to spread to regions that are overly reliant on Chinese parts for assembly, such as a Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV plant in Serbia.

 

Bloomberg reports Friday morning that the plant is expected to halt operations of its assembly line because of the lack of parts from China as the Covid-19 outbreak worsens.

 

Turin, Italy-based automaker's Kragujevac factory in Serbia, which assembles the Fiat 500L, has to bring its production line to a halt due to lack of audio-system and other electric parts sourced from China.

 

We reported on Feb 6 that Fiat Chrysler was expected to close the plant if the virus continued to spread.

 

Four of the automaker's suppliers have been impacted by China's decision to shut down much of its industrial sector as part of a quarantine that's expected to take a massive chunk out of GDP growth in the first half.

 

Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley said four of the company's suppliers in China had already been affected by the outbreak, including one "critical" maker of parts putting European production at risk.

 

The evolution of the supply chain disruption emanating from China is spreading outwards and to the West.

 

Wall Street is blind as a bat, or maybe their hope the Federal Reserve will keep pumping liquidity into the market will numb the pain of one of the most significant shocks expected to hit the global economy in the near term. This is mostly due to the world's most complex supply chains, which as of late January, have been severed and will start affecting assembly plants in Europe.

 

The disruption could spread to the US, where many assembly plants source parts from China.

 

What's about to hit the global economy was beautifully outlined by former Morgan Stanley Asia chairman Stephen Roach warned several weeks ago that the global economy could already be in a period of vulnerability, where an exogenous shock, such as the Covid-19, could be the trigger for the next worldwide recession.

Dem U.S. Senate candidate unveils campaign logo: The guillotine as 'a symbol of the work we have to do'

 

'There is not going to be a more convenient revolution'

 

The donkey has long been the symbol of the Democratic Party since President Andrew Jackson embraced his detractors labeling him "a jackass" in 1828, but a Democratic Senate candidate in Maine may have a rebrand in mind.

 

Bre Kidman unveiled a new campaign logo last week: a guillitone, the execution apparatus commonly associated with the French Revolution that was used for the beheadings of King Louis XVI and his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette. But fear not, Kidman, who hopes to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November, says using an image of the deadly device in campaign materials is not meant to be taken literally.

 

"We're not going to start a guillotine in Monument Square (in Portland) and start beheading people," Kidman clarified to the Portland Press-Herald. "It's a symbol of the work we have to do to overcome flaws in our system – flaws that have become deeply evident in the last few weeks."

 

'Reign of Terror'

 

The self-described democratic socialist, who identifies as non-binary, added that printing the French Reign of Terror execution device on campaign t-shirts is meant to symbolize ongoing class struggles that may inevitably lead to a violent overthrow of the federal government.

 

"A guillotine t-shirt reminds others about it in hopes that we'll all be motivated to address the very serious problems with our government before a similarly violent uprising becomes inevitable," said Kidman, who recently endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, on Twitter.

 

The Maine Democrat unveiled the campaign merchandise shortly after the Senate acquitted President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial.

 

"More details on how to get your GuilloTee tomorrow! In the meantime, remember: there is not going to be a more convenient revolution," Kidman added.

 

In a separate tweet, Kidman clarified the intent is only to symbolically behead Republicans and money in politics.

 

"The guillotine is for the plutocratic & kleptocratic norms that have undermined our democratic process. We have to develop ways to subvert the stranglehold of wealth on our government," Kidman said.

Bernie Bros, Guillotines and Gulags

 

As TheBlaze's Aaron Coleman reported last month, Kidman's use of the guillotine as a campaign symbol is not the first time that democratic socialists invoke violent imagery. In an undercover video taken by Project Veritas, a campaign staffer named Kyle Jurek argued that if Sanders were to win in November, Trump voters will be subject to "reeducation" in Soviet-style gulags.

 

"In Nazi Germany after the fall of the Nazi party there was a sht ton of the populace that was fking Nazi-fied. Germany had to spend billions of dollars to reeducate their people to not be Nazis. We're probably going to have to do the same f*king thing here," Jurek said.

 

"That's kind of what Bernie's whole free education for everybody…because we're going to have to teach you to not be a f**king Nazi," he added. "There's a reason Josef Stalin had gulags. And actually, gulags were a lot better than what the CIA has told us that they were. Like, people were actually paid a living wage in gulags, they had conjugal visits in gulags. Gulags were actually meant for, like, reeducation."

Climate Strike Chaos as Antifa, Extinction Rebellion Clash with London Police

 

At least three activists were arrested by police in London during the annual “Climate Strike”.

 

Student climate change activists, Extinction Rebellion and Antifa took to the streets of London on Friday, joining “Climate Strike” protests across the world, shouting slogans like “climate change is fucking real, give us all a Green New Deal” and “the students united will never be defeated”.

 

In an exclusive Breitbart London video, three of the activists are caught on camera getting arrested by London’s Metropolitan Police.

 

One of the leaders of the march was told by police that she was “breaking the law” by “obstructing the highway”. After she refused to leave the road she was tackled by the police and dragged into a police van.

 

Two others were also arrested at the protest for refusing to clear the road.

 

Antifa also clashed with police, with one masked man dressed in black bloc gear shouting at an officer: “You are fucking scum!”

 

The student activists have attracted financial support from environmental organisations such as Global Justice Now, Green Peace, and the Green Party, according to the Guardian.

 

The arrests on Friday came one day after police stood by for some time as members of Extinction Rebellion vandalised government property by digging up the grass outside the Home Office.

 

This “action” came in response to the expansion of the Pont Balley mine in County Durham, England.

 

Last year alone the cost of policing Extinction Rebellion protests in London totalled over £37 million — more than double the annual budget of the Violent Crime Taskforce, which is only £15 million.

 

The strain on resources and manpower limited the police’s ability to investigate other crimes in the capitol.

 

The climate change alarmist group’s next mass “rebellion” will take place on May 23rd.

US Army Refuses to Investigate Treasonous Bastard Alexander Vindman Despite President’s Request — Will Move Him to Full-Time Position at Military College

 

Is there ANYONE in Washington who follows orders from their Commander in Chief?

Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said on Friday there will be no investigation of treasonous bastard Alexander Vindman despite President Trump’s announcement that the Pentagon will look into the actions of the former NSC officer.

Vindman was caught repeatedly lying during his testimony before Congress that made him a leftist hero.

Vindman’s boss testified that Alexander Vindman was a leaker, a liar who could not be trusted.

But Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told an audience at a the National Press Club that there will be no investigation of Lt. Col. Alex Vindman before he moves to his permanent position at a military college(?) later this year.

The Daily Mail reported:

 

Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said Friday there is no investigation into the Army officer who until last week worked at the White House National Security Council and was a key witness in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.

McCarthy said Lt. Col. Alex Vindman has been moved to a short-term assignment at Army headquarters until he starts a regularly scheduled stint at a military college later this year.

McCarthy’s comments at the National Press Club appeared to put an end to any debate about potential punishment of the officer, who came under fire for raising concerns about Trump’s July phone call with Ukraine’s president.

Vindman was escorted from the White House last week as was his twin brother, Yevgeny, who worked as a lawyer at the NSC and is also a lieutenant colonel.

 

Here is Secretary Ryan McCarthy today the National Press Club.

Dems Looking to Steal Wisconsin Supreme Court Seat Next Week in Non-Partisan Primary

 

Next Tuesday is critical primary election for a State Supreme Court Justice in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Democrats’ are hoping to attempt at a silent coup of the state courts.

If successful, this will firm up their plans to seize control over the court over the next decade with national consequences for this laboratory of leftist judicial tyranny.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court primary election on Tuesday, February 18, decides which two of three candidates will be on the general ballot for a ten-year term. The court currently has a 5-2 conservative majority, and what’s at stake in the near-term is who replaces Governor Scott Walker’s appointment of Daniel Kelly.

 

The left-controlled media have failed to alert everyday Wisconsinites about the importance of Tuesday’s election, and many conservatives may stay home without realizing their state is about to be overtaken by a Marxist judiciary.

Kelly, appointed by Governor Walker in 2016 and considered to be a conservative, replaced David Prosser. Placing Justice Kelly on the Supreme Court was perhaps the most consequential thing Governor Walker did to assure a conservative majority on the bench.

 

Kelly faces two teachers’ union-supported “progressives” who, along with those arranging this setup behind the scenes, are trying to quietly push Kelly off the ballot and reduce the court’s conservative majority.

The consequences are grave for Wisconsin and for the nation if Kelly does not proceed through this primary election and win the general in April 2020. Wisconsin has already been a choice location for the left to experiment with a national strategy to chill noncompliant everyday citizens’ free speech through their control of state courts.

Wisconsin’s courts were the means through which a national push to terrorize conservatives came to fruition in the John Doe investigations, which were described as “the most tumultuous political events in Wisconsin in generations—perhaps in history.” In the John Doe investigations, retribution against Republican Governor Scott Walker was exacted by leftist operatives in the state government against ordinary Wisconsin citizens.

 

It was the Wisconsin Supreme Court that halted the unconstitutional persecutions of conservatives in a 2015 4-2 decision. The court declared the First Amendment rights of the victims had been violated.

With the 2018 election of far-left zealot and former teacher Governor Tony Evers, the left’s appetite to return to such political warfare through the courts has been whetted anew.

Pictured: Prince Andrew's on Bahamas visit to SECOND tycoon facing child sex claims - Duke and family stayed with Peter Nygard who is accused of raping teenagers and plying them with wine and drugs

 

Peter Nygard, 78, allegedly told girls as young as 14 he could make them models

It is claimed he then raped them and forced them into performing 'deviant acts'

Andrew and his family visited Nygard's lavish estate in the Bahamas in 2000

 

A tycoon with links to Prince Andrew has been accused of raping teenagers he lured to his Bahamas mansion.

 

Peter Nygard, 78, allegedly told girls as young as 14 he could make them models before raping them and forcing them into performing 'deviant acts'.

 

Andrew visited Nygard at his lavish estate in 2000, after the Canadian fashion designer had agreed out-of-court settlements with three employees who accused him of sexual harassment.

 

The prince and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson stayed at Nygard Cay, near Nassau, with daughters Beatrice and Eugenie.

 

The new case threatens further embarrassment for Andrew, who stepped back from public life last year following a backlash over his relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

 

According to a 99-page lawsuit filed against him in New York, Nygard used his ten-bedroom mansion to host 'pamper parties' for teenage girls recruited at shopping malls and fashion events.

 

He and his employees told the girls they could be fashion models, but then plied them with wine and drugs before Nygard allegedly raped them.

 

Three alleged victims were 14-year-old virgins and said they felt scared and humiliated by the attacks, which left one needing medical treatment.

 

The case has been brought on behalf of ten women who allege they were raped by Nygard.

 

Eight were teenage girls and two were adult employees on the Nassau estate.

 

Lawyers said Nygard, who is worth an estimated £690million, ran a 'decades-long sex trafficking scheme' that destroyed innocent lives.

 

They said he used his company's private jet, dubbed 'N-Force', to take his victims with him on visits to London, Germany, Italy and China, and treated them as his 'personal servants'.

NYC Taxpayers Spending Millions on Cyber Center with Controversial Ties to Israeli Intelligence

 

Early last week, the city of New York launched — with little media scrutiny — one of two new massive cybersecurity centers that will be run by private Israeli firms with close ties to Israel’s government, the so-called “Mega Group” tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and prominent pro-Israel lobby organizations operating in the United States. The centers were first announced in 2018 as was the identity of the firms who would run them: Israel-based Jerusalem Venture Partners and SOSA.

 

As MintPress has reported on several occasions, all three of these entities have a history of aggressively spying on the U.S. federal government and/or blackmailing top American politicians, raising concerns regarding why these companies were chosen to run the new centers in the heart of Manhattan. The news also comes as Israeli cybersecurity companies tied to Israeli military intelligence Unit 8200 were revealed to have access to the U.S. government’s most classified systems and simulating the cancellation of the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

 

The new cybersecurity centers are part of a new New York City public-private partnership called “CyberNYC” that is valued at over $100 million and officially aims to “spur the creation of 10,000 cybersecurity jobs and make New York City a global leader in cyber innovation.” CyberNYC is an initiative of New York City’s Economic Development Corporation.

 

However, the companies that will be responsible for creating those cybersecurity jobs will benefit foreign companies — namely Israeli — and most of the jobs to be created will go to foreigners as well, as media reports on the partnership have quietly noted. Those reports also stated that, while the stated purpose of the centers is to create new jobs, the Israeli firms chosen to run them — Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP) and SOSA — view it as an opportunity to provide Israeli cybersecurity companies with a foothold into the American market and to see Israeli cybersecurity products adopted by both small and medium-sized American businesses, not just large corporations and government agencies.

 

For example, the founder of JVP and former Knesset member, Erel Margalit, told the Jerusalem Post that “the center we are setting up [in New York] will assist Israeli hi-tech companies in collaborating with customers and companies in the US and around the world.” More recently, ahead of the opening of the cybersecurity center that Margalit’s firm will manage, he told the Times of Israel that “New York is about something else, it’s about the drama of taking investors from Israel and Spain or Paris and other places and taking them to the next business level.” In other words, the companies set to benefit from these new centers will be foreign and mainly Israeli, as JVP invests the vast majority of its funds in Israeli start-ups.

 

Given that Wilson Lin, the head of CyberNYC, explained the reason behind the initiative as the fact that “there are not enough well-trained people in cyber security to fill the jobs that are required for a safer, more thriving commercial sector,” the statements of JVP’s founder strongly suggests that those “well-trained people” will not be Americans in New York, but will be brought in from abroad, namely Israel’s cybersecurity sector.

 

Of the companies chosen by CyberNYC to run its new cybersecurity centers, both have clear and demonstrable ties to Israel’s government and military intelligence as well as controversial groups of pro-Israel donors with considerable political clout in the United States.

 

For instance, Jerusalem Venture Partners was founded by Erel Margalit in 1993, with funding from the Yozma Program, an Israeli government program to “incentivize venture capital investment” in Israel. Since then, it has been a driving force in the development of Israel’s hi-tech sector and regularly collaborates with the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry and the EISP (Entrepreneurship and Innovation Support Program) alumni organization of Unit 8200. Today, it is the second largest venture capital fund in Israel.

Pentagon Offers Iraq a Partial Military Pullout

 

Iraqi officials told US prepared to discuss withdrawal

 

In January, the Iraqi parliament voted 170-0 for the government to seek a full pullout of all foreign troops. President Trump reacted with threats, and while Iraq’s former PM had backed away, the matter of US presence is still an issue. But weeks later, things may be changing.

 

Over the past week, the Pentagon has talked with senior Iraqi officials, telling them they are prepared to discuss withdrawal in some form. The US has even offered a plan for a partial pullback of troops from some parts of Iraq.

 

The position right now is that the US is willing to leave certain Shi’ite majority areas, and cut down the number of troops in Baghdad. The US had ruled out leaving Ayn al-Assad air base, calling that a “red line.”

 

That is a major shift, as previously the US position was that they would not consider any specific cuts, and rather would engage in wholesale renegotiation of all US-Iraqi ties going forward.

Israel asks UK to include settlements in free trade deal

 

Israel has asked the UK to include illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, Jerusalem and the Golan Heights in the free trade deal being discussed between the two sides, Israel Hayom reported on Thursday.

 

According to the Israeli newspaper, Israeli Economy Minister Eli Cohen had written to his British counterpart, Conor Burns, informing him: “Most of Israel’s free trade agreements, such as the agreement with the United States, apply to the State of Israel, which is wherever the law applies.”

 

The newspaper announced that the terms of the post-Brexit free trade deal were already laid down, noting that they are the same terms as the free trade deal with the EU.

 

The EU does not recognise the Israeli settlements in the occupied territories as part of Israel; therefore, the mutual free trade deal with Israel excludes the settlements.

 

However, the newspaper added, Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, hopes that the UK takes a different approach after leaving the EU.

 

Earlier this month, the Times of Israel reported that Netanyahu had spoken with his British counterpart, Boris Johnson, and discussed several issues relating to mutual cooperation.

 

“I spoke today with UK prime minister, Boris Johnson, and congratulated him on Brexit. We discussed regional affairs, especially on the ‘deal of the century’,” the newspaper reported Netanyahu had posted on Twitter.

 

Both parties, the newspaper added: “Agreed to continue to strengthen the economic relationship between the two countries and to start discussions on a free trade zone between Israel and the UK.”

Actor Corey Feldman has announced that he will be naming Hollywood pedophiles in an upcoming live stream documentary about his experience as a child actor.

 

Feldman will also address the alleged abuse late actor Corey Haim suffered at the hands of the same purported pedophiles.

 

The actor released the trailer for the documentary — “(My) Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys” — on Tuesday.

 

The film is set to be aired one time via livestream on March 9. Tickets go on sale on Feb. 22. Movieweb reports that Feldman said Netflix declined to distribute the film because it is “too dangerous.”

 

In the newly released trailer, Feldman can be seen speaking to an interviewer about the 911 call he placed to report the alleged sexual abuse.

 

Feldman looks apprehensive as the interviewer pulls up audio footage of what appears to be the 911 call on a cell phone, which he prepares to play for Feldman. – READ MORE

Teens arrested after police find more than 80 bombs in a truck. They’re released almost immediately.

 

HUTCHINSON, KS- Two 18-year-old men were recently arrested after allegedly being discovered in possession of more than 80 homemade explosives inside of a truck.

 

After a series of mysterious explosions were reported going off throughout the city the past few weeks, police apprehended the two suspects on February 8th.

 

What’s more concerning, despite the allegations and explosives discovered – the duo has already bonded out of jail and are back in the street.

 

Tyler Bryce Bontrager and Andrew Hoffman are already walking the streets after making bond this past weekend, but what led to their arrest could make one wonder why bail was even offered in their case.

 

South Hutchinson police had been investigating complaints of sporadic explosions that locals had been reporting over the past several weeks. Then the department received a tip that there was someone who was selling improvised explosive devices locally and had them stored inside their vehicle’s trunk.

 

South Hutchinson Police Chief Dean Harcrow commented on the investigation that led to the arrest of the two young adults:

 

“We did some investigative work on it and found out who owned the vehicle. We located it around State Street and Poplar Street and a traffic stop was initiated.”

 

The traffic stop that was initiated at 10:00 p.m. on Saturday led to an astonishing discovery by officers on the scene. Inside the suspects’ trunk was a plastic container filled with fully assembled explosive devices.

 

Once police had realized the gravity of the stop, they blocked off a two-mile radius and evacuated homes within half a block of the stopped vehicle.

 

Residents from the immediate area were evacuated from their homes for several hours, as federal agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives addressed the scene.

 

Chief Harcrow described the analysis from the ATF and the seizure that ensued:

 

“The ATF considered them to be IEDs. They said 72 of them were the equivalent of a quarter stick of dynamite and 10 of them equaled a half stick of dynamite. They were making them at a residence out in the county and selling them individually to other individuals in Reno County.”

 

Aside from the fully assembled bombs the duo allegedly possessed, there was also containers filled with additional fuses, powder, funnels and empty shells. Chief Harcrow noted on the materials they collected to assemble the bombs:

 

“They were ordering stuff off the internet to make them. They included powdered potassium chlorate and aluminum powder in cardboard tubes. They had fuses.”

 

Those tasked with investigating the case believe that the suspect’s arrested were responsible for peddling the devices locally, which was what led to locals hearing various explosions over the recent weeks.

 

Hutchinson police and the Reno County Sheriff’s Office are both handling the investigation, while the Wichita ATF agents Neal Tierney and Jason Fuller seized the devices at the scene.

 

Chief Harcrow stated that even though the alleged manufacturers were arrested, there’s a possibility that more are connected with the scheme:

 

“We’re still doing follow up. The investigation is ongoing. There might be more people involved, but we’re still looking into that.”

 

Both Bontrager and Hoffman were booked into the county jail after the discovery Saturday night under charges of criminal use of explosives. However, both of them had bonded out of the jail before the weekend was out.

Israel-invented 'CoughSync' machine to treat coronavirus patients in China

 

"It is a completely noninvasive method of clearing secretions that reproduces normal physiology,” said its inventor, Dr. Eliezer Be'eri.

 

A device invented by an Israeli doctor at ALYN Hospital is at most weeks – and likely even days – away from being used to help treat patients with coronavirus in China, according to its inventor Dr. Eliezer Be’eri.

CoughSync, invented 10 years ago by Be’eri to help treat physically challenged and disabled children, adolescents and young adults at ALYN, was developed into a working device by an Israeli startup. Then, three years ago, when the Israeli team was looking for a manufacturer and additional funding, Beijing-based Ruxin Medical Systems stepped in. Since then, Ruxin has been moving the device forward.

Now, with the coronavirus spreading rapidly across China – more than 2,000 people have been diagnosed with the virus in China – Ruxin reached out to the country’s National Medical Products Administration to speed up its regulatory approval process and get the device into hospitals and helping patients.

CoughSync simulates a normal cough, clearing secretions from one’s airways.

“If you have someone on a ventilator, the standard way to remove secretions from their airways is that a nurse disconnects the patient from the ventilator and puts a catheter in to suction up the secretions,” Be’eri explained.

An alternative developed and used by ALYN is cough simulation.

“What happens when you cough? You take a deep breath of air in and rapidly expel the air, which clears the secretions because the airflow is so fast,” Be’eri said. “CoughSync connects to the ventilator and works in synchrony. The ventilator gives the person a breath in and the suction device sucks the air out rapidly as if the patient coughed, bringing the secretions up without disconnecting the ventilator.

“It is a completely noninvasive method of clearing secretions that reproduces normal physiology,” he concluded.

The device would prove essential when treating patients with coronavirus.

First, it saves precious staff time by removing secretions automatically instead of a nurse having to do it manually, essential in the case of a mass outbreak like the current one.

Second, Be’eri said it could decrease the spread of the virus.

“Not having nurses deal with patients directly in terms of their secretions could decrease the infectivity of the virus,” he said.

A benefit for all patients – and not just those with the coronavirus – is that the device could make ventilation more effective so patients can be weaned off ventilators quicker.

Moscow Rebuts Erdogan's Claims About Russian Private Military Companies Operating in Libya

 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s allegations that Moscow at an official level facilitates the Libyan war through Russian private military companies operating in the North African country are not true, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said on Saturday.

 

"This does not correspond to reality and the real state of affairs," Bogdanov told reporters on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, when asked to comment on the claims.

 

Earlier in the day, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in an interview with NTV broadcaster that "Russia is currently managing the war there at the highest level". He added that Ankara would continue to support Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Sarraj's internationally recognised government.

Sidney Powell: There is one atrocity after the other in the case of Michael Flynn

 

Sidney Powell, the attorney for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn told Sean Hannity on Friday that there has been “one atrocity after another” in the proceedings.

 

“So not only was [Michael Flynn] not warned of his rights, he didn’t even know that he was being investigated,” Powell told host Sean Hannity. “In fact, he was led to believe that he wasn’t being investigated.”

 

FLYNN ATTORNEY DEMANDS FBI SEARCH ‘SENTINEL’ DATABASE FOR MISSING, ‘MANIPULATED’ WITNESS REPORTS

 

Powell added that Michael Flynn’s case was the first instance she had heard of in which a defendant accused of making false statements to the FBI was not warned of his rights or informed that he was under investigation.

 

“They say they can’t find [it], he can’t produce it [the 302 form],” she said of Michael Flynn prosecutor Brandon Van Grack. who she claimed has a separate conflict of interest in the case.

 

“There is one atrocity after the other in this case.”

Censorship Is the Way that Any Dictatorship — and NO Democracy — Functions

 

No democracy can survive censorship. If there is censorship, then each individual cannot make his/her own decisions (voting decisions or otherwise) on the basis of truth but only on the basis of whatever passes through the censor’s filter, which is always whatever supports the censoring regime and implants it evermore deeply into the public’s mind — regardless of its actual truthfulness.

 

The public does have a mind, as a collective constituting the majority of the residents in the given land, which majority rules any democratic government. If the government doesn’t really represent the majority, it’s no democracy, at all, but instead represents other individuals, the real rulers, who might be hidden. Consequently, if a democracy exists but a censor somehow becomes allowed, and emerges into existence in a given land, then democracy will inevitably be snuffed-out there, and dictatorship will inevitably be the result — merely because censorship has been applied there, which blocks some essential truths (truths that the rulers don’t want the public to know) from reaching the public.

 

Nothing is as toxic to democracy as is censorship. Censorship prevents democracy.

 

If a dictatorship already exists in a given land, then it does so by means of censorship, because only by that means will the public be willing to pay taxes to the regime and to go to war for it and to kill and die for it. Without censorship, none of that could happen, except in an authentic democracy. An authentic democracy has no censorship.

 

This is why democracy is so rare. Almost every dictatorship calls itself a ‘democracy’. But a government which calls itself “democratic” isn’t necessarily democratic, but more likely it has simply fooled its public to think that it is one (such as the United States has by now been scientifically proven to be — an actual dictatorship).

 

Anyone who endorses censorship is a totalitarian, a supporter of totalitarianism, even without recognizing the fact. If the person fails to recognize the fact that censorship is applied only in a totalitarian regime, then that person has bought into the most basic belief of totalitarianism: the idea that censorship can be justified in some circumstances. Dictatorships always pump that lie, so as to be able to continue to exist as a dictatorship. There is no circumstance which ever can justify censorship, unless one believes that dictatorship is, or can be, good instead of bad.

 

If you think that some censorship is good, then you have bought into the fundamental belief that is promulgated in any dictatorship. It’s a lie, but it fools the majority of people, in a dictatorship.

 

No writing, nor any other statement, should ever be censored, no matter how vile it is. Indeed, if it is vile, then it needs to be exposed, not hidden; because, if it is hidden, then it will fester until it grows in the dark and finally becomes sprung upon a public who have never been inoculated against it by truth, and therefore the false belief becomes actually seriously dangerous and likely to spread like wildfire, because it had been censored before it became public. The most deadly infections are those that grow in the dark and then become released upon a population who have no pre-existing protection against it.
