US ambassador suggests Poland might take nukes

Responding to talk among German politicians about the country potentially asking the US to stop deploying nuclear weapons there, the US Ambassador to Poland, Georgette Mosbacher, suggested on Friday that Poland might be willing to host them instead.

Rolf Mützenich, the Acting Chairman of the Social Democratic Party’s (SPD) parliamentary bloc, stated in an interview earlier this month that it is time for Germany to consider asking the US to remove its nuclear weapons from the country, as previously reported by Voice of Europe.

Although Mützenich’s comments were criticized by representatives of other parties in Germany, other SPD leaders supported him. As the SPD is currently the second-largest party in the country, ruling in coalition with Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union, his words were taken seriously. Richard Grenell, the US Ambassador to Germany, published a response urging Germany to allow American weapons to remain on its soil, as did Jens Stoltenberg, the Secretary General of NATO (here).

Bill Gates admits that 700,000 people will be harmed or killed by his coronavirus vaccines

Bill Gates admits that 700,000 people will be harmed or killed by his coronavirus vaccines

05/17/2020 / By Ethan Huff

In his rush to develop one, two, or even seven different vaccines for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), billionaire software tycoon Bill Gates openly admitted that upwards of 700,000 people could become injured or die from these jabs.

The Microsoft co-founder and prominent eugenicist has been more outspoken in recent days than perhaps ever before about his desire to vaccinate the entire world, in this case as soon as possible for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). And the reality is that many more will die from the vaccine than from the virus itself.

Speaking during a recent segment on CNBC, Gates admitted that in order to make vaccines “work” for the most vulnerable groups, they have to be super-charged, in a sense. And this super-charging means that some people are going to be injured or killed as a result.

“We clearly need a vaccine that works in the upper age range because they’re most at risk of that,” Gates stated about his plans for Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination.

“And doing that so that you amp it up so that it works in older people, and yet you don’t have side effects, if we have one in 10,000 side effects that’s way more, 700,000 people who will suffer from that.”

Bill Gates also says flu vaccines do not work for older people

Rumblings: John Brennan’s Company May Be Linked to the Deep State Leaks and Spying

Ten days ago Acting DNI Richard Grenell walked a “satchel of documents” over to the Department of Justice to hand over to AG Bill Barr. The documents inside the satchel are the cause of much speculation.

Some believe the documents relate to the company John Brennan served as CEO for, before joining the Obama Administration.

J. E. Dyer wrote a piece at Liberty Unyielding and discussed the recent actions related to spying, leaking, and unmasking of the Trump campaign and administration. There is speculation that the firm that corrupt John Brennan was the CEO of, before working as CIA Head for Obama, was somehow connected to the leaks and illegal data sharing going on with the Obama administration. Dyer writes:

The NSC staff isn’t the only physical place it [spying] was done. The notorious dust-up at the FBI’s Washington Field Office in March 2016 is a strong data point indicating that the FBI was involved in it, with contractors – people who weren’t government employees – being able to view USPI material. The unauthorized viewing by contractors was a major issue, exposed to the public in Judge Rosemary Collyer’s orders after the FISA court review was released in 2017.

Top Enlisted Leaders Answer Questions on Stop-Move Process

Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman Ramón "CZ" Colón-López and U.S. Transportation Command's senior enlisted leader, Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Jason France, shed some light on moving in the time of COVID-19 during a virtual town hall meeting.

The SEAC hosted the meeting with France today, as the two enlisted leaders answered service members' questions.

Defense Secretary Dr. Mark T. Esper froze movements soon after the pandemic hit U.S. shores. This stopped most military and civilian moves. Those deemed crucial required an exception to policy.

Each year, the Defense Department relocates more than 400,000 service members, DOD civilians and their families. Traditionally, this would be the beginning of the prime move season. COVID-19 has changed that, and it will change again once the restrictions are lifted.

Germany: Burning national flags now a criminal offence

The German Parliament has voted to make the public burning of the national flags of other countries a criminal offence. The burning of the German flag is already a criminal act.

The decision, which was made Thursday, also applies to defiling the European Union’s anthem, Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” from his Ninth Symphony, according to a report by BBC News. It also applies to other forms of destroying a flag, such as by ripping it up.

Being convicted of desecrating these symbols is classified as a hate crime, and will be punishable by a prison sentence of up to three years.

The initiative to pass this legislation came after the Social Democrats complained about protesters burning the Israeli flag at a 2017 demonstration in Berlin.

Christine Lambrecht, Germany’s Minister of Justice, said that the burning of flags in public does not contribute in any constructive way to peaceful protests, claiming that it stokes “hatred, anger, and aggression.”

Germany’s Right-wing Alternative for Germany party opposed the new legislation, saying that it interferes in the people’s right to free speech and artistic expression.

Last year, German Chancellor Angela Merkel defended her country’s recent moves to limit freedom of expression by arguing that free speech must be controlled if society is to remain free, as previously reported by Voice of Europe.

France, Greece, Italy, and Spain also have laws which prohibit the defilement of their national flags.
