PELOSI MADE MILLIONS: After Congressional Coronavirus Meetings, Pelosi Bought $5 Million In Amazon Stock Before U.S. Retailers Were Forced To Close

Where is the SEC? Where are the prosecutions?

After Congressional Coronavirus Meetings, Pelosi Bought $5 Million in Amazon Stock Before U.S. Retailers Were Forced to Close; And She Already Made Millions – True Pundit

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her husband are cashing in already on $5 million of Amazon stock purchased during the time frame that closed-door coronavirus meetings were being conducted in Congress.

As of Tuesday morning, the Pelosi stock purchase had already earned the couple $1.1 million in less than 10 weeks. The Amazon share price climbed close to $2,000 on Tuesday. Paul Pelosi, the speaker’s husband, got in at a price of $1,600 per share and grabbed 3,000 shares on Jan. 17, according to financial disclosure filings.

Nancy Pelosi’s Husband Bought Up Slack, Microsoft, and Alphabet Securities

In late February, when the U.S. stock market was in the early stages of slipping on news of the coronavirus outbreak, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, began buying up tech stocks and stock options.

Paul Pelosi, a businessman and investor, paid up to $3.3 million in total to buy Alphabet (ticker: GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) stock options, and Slack Technologies stock (WORK), an April 1 regulatory filing from Speaker Pelosi shows. All three stocks have been outperforming the broader market, as measured by the S&P 500 index, although only Slack stock sports a year-to-date gain.

These appear to be recent investments by Paul Pelosi in securities of those companies. Speaker Pelosi’s annual financial disclosure report for 2018, the latest one available, shows no Alphabet or Microsoft investments. (Slack shares didn’t trade publicly until last year.) Her filings since then showed no investments in any of the three companies. Public officials, their spouses, and dependent children are all generally required to report transactions within 30 days, but the deadline can be extended.

Speaker Pelosi and Paul Pelosi didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment on the transactions.

Satanist Banking System Explains Our Woes

Tom: "The lockdown destroyed everything there was no need for a lockdown what was the agenda?"

The lockdown should have elicited riots. But instead we have a tawdry farce against "police brutality" funded by George Soros on the basis of a flimsy psy-op.

Politics is a function of money.

Money is humanity's blood supply. The heart that pumps this "blood" around the world is the central bank. Unfortunately, this "heart" is run by Satanists who intend to enslave us before the rotten structure collapses.

The world financial system is incredibly sophisticated and efficient. Every day, billions of transactions take place.

In our minds, "money" is changing hands. In fact, "money" is an abstraction, a mental concept. "Money is a massive game of 'Let's Pretend" i.e. make-believe.

Money doesn't exist. It is simply a mental estimate of the value of something expressed in digits in some currency.

Arizona’s Mark Kelly Sat on Advisory Board of Company That Partnered With Chinese Tech Giant

Mark Kelly under scrutiny for China-linked business interests, investments

Senate candidate Mark Kelly (D., Ariz.) sat on the advisory board of and held a significant financial interest in a Colorado company that partnered with a Chinese state-financed tech giant to bring supersonic aerospace technology to China in 2018, according to his financial disclosure reports.

Kelly, a former NASA astronaut, served on the advisory board for Boom Technology, a high-speed aircraft company in Colorado from 2015 to 2019 and owned private stock in the company worth between $115,000 and $300,000 as of last year.

In 2018, Boom Technology partnered with the Shanghai-based travel company Trip.com Group Limited, formerly known as Ctrip, to help "bring supersonic flight to China," according to a joint announcement from the companies.

Ctrip has also been a key player in the Chinese government’s ongoing "Belt and Road Initiative," a massive multi-country infrastructure project that the U.S. government has described as a global security threat.

Kelly, who is challenging Republican incumbent Martha McSally for an Arizona Senate seat, has faced scrutiny for other China-linked business interests and investments. World View Enterprises, a company he cofounded and holds investments in, received funding from Chinese tech company Tencent, the Washington Free Beacon reported last October. Tencent has been accused of espionage and of censoring antigovernment sentiment on its WeChat app.

A Kelly spokesman said the candidate was an adviser to Boom but never sat on the company’s board, calling this a "misleading" attack by supporters of Kelly’s Republican rival Martha McSally.

"Senator McSally’s allies continue to make inaccurate and misleading political attacks. Mark was not a ‘board member.’ He was an adviser with a limited role advising primarily on technical matters given his expertise as a former combat pilot, test pilot, and astronaut. He had no role in investments," said Kelly’s communication director Jacob Peters in an email to the Free Beacon on Friday.

Peters declined to comment on Kelly’s duties as an advisory board member. Typically advisory boards exist alongside a company’s formal corporate board and provide strategic advice to leadership.

Et Tu, Rachel? British PM Boris Johnson’s Sister Accused of Violating Coronavirus Safety Rules

The development comes as the government of Boris Johnson has found itself in hot water after the prime minister’s aide, Dominic Cummings, violated lockdown rules during the pandemic and travelled to his parents’ house with his wife, who had coronavirus symptoms. The news caused huge outrage among the British public and politicians.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's sister has ignored government rules on safety during the coronavirus pandemic, the Mirror reported. According to the tabloid, the 54-year-old, who works as a radio presenter at the London-based LBC station, went to her second home in Notting Hill after work instead of travelling back to Somerset, where she has been isolating since the pandemic broke out.

The next day after a quick chat with her friends and walking her dog, Ms Johnson took a train to Somerset, the Mirror reported, noting that the woman’s actions were counter to government rules, which have banned movement between two households during the pandemic.

The newspaper cited an anonymous government source that said the development may cause more headache for Boris Johnson and his government. "It doesn't look good for anyone. First his friend Dom and now his sister have been caught bending the rules, if not breaking them. The story Boris is trying to avoid is of one rule for the elite and another for the rest", a Whitehall source told the Mirror.

Ms Johnson’s spokesman said being a radio host she has key worker status. "The [radio] show finishes at 7pm. As it’s a four-hour journey back, she sometimes stays over. In line with the guidance, she makes a concerted effort to stay alert at all times”, the spokesman said.

The development comes as Johnson and his government are in hot water after the prime minister’s key aide Dominic Cummings violated government rules on the lockdown during the coronavirus by travelling with his wife, who had coronavirus symptoms, to the house of his parents. The news sparked outrage among the British public and politicians and led to calls demanding that Cummings resign.

LA Mayor Garcetti: ‘This is no longer a protest. This is vandalism’

“The California National Guard is being deployed to Los Angeles overnight to support our local response to maintain peace and safety on the streets of our city,” Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted late Saturday night.

“This is no longer a protest,” Garcetti told local media Saturday night. “This is destruction. This is vandalism.”

“I will always protect Angelenos’ right to make their voices heard — and we can lead the movement against racism without fear of violence or vandalism,” Garcetti said in a statement Saturday.

“The vast majority of people taking to the streets are doing it peacefully, powerfully, and with reverence for the sacred cause they’re fighting for,” he continued. “This curfew is in place to protect their safety — and the safety of all who live and work in our city.”

Silicon Valley Has Effectively Banned the Freedom of Speech. It’s Time We Take It Back

Somewhere along the road of America’s development, corporations were blessed with not only ‘personhood,’ but with the power to sanction what sort of messages were permissible to enter the public realm. Let’s be clear: This sort of corporate control, which borders on pure fascism, has no place in a democracy.

There is no need to ask. There is no need to be polite. There is no need to debate. It is only necessary to point to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution for this fundamental human right, inscribed into law over 200 years ago, to be returned to the American people.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

So how did it come to be that such a straightforward and unambiguous command has become so unattainable in reality?

The primary source of our current plight is that the Founding Fathers had no idea to what degree corporations would come to dominate every square inch of our public and private lives. Had they been somehow forewarned of the approaching pirates just over the horizon with serious political axes to grind, there is no doubt they would have adjusted the Constitution’s sails to prepare for the invasion. Alas, such farsightedness was far beyond the psychic powers of any individual at the time.

Today, the situation with regards to corporate power has become so out of control that only the ‘person’ of the corporation is truly endowed by its creator with the full power of speech. These omnipotent ‘arbitrators of truth’ – i.e. their truth – are now controlled by five kingdoms (down from its previous six thanks to the marriage between Viacom and CBS) known as Comcast, Walt Disney, News Corporation, Warner Media and ViacomCBS, each one of which has many dozens of obedient subsidiaries under their wing.

Now we must ask: how likely is it for the average American to achieve some semblance of ‘freedom of speech’ from any one of these media powerhouses? While we consumers are all endowed with the ‘inalienable right’ to freely purchase the services from any one of these vast entities, our ability to have our individual voices disseminated from one of their hundreds of various channels is laughable. Aside from the occasional letter to the editor or guest column, the ‘power of the people’ in the face of these corporate overlords is solely that of emasculated passive spectator. This is a fact of life that popular politicians like Ron Paul and Tulsi Gabbard and their loyal followers have come to learn the hard way.

Dozens Of Journalists Sacked After Microsoft Replaced Them With Artificial Intelligence

Robots and artificial intelligence (AI) applications are increasingly taking over human jobs, as a group of MSN journalists recently found out.

Its nothing new, although in decades past, robots were used primarily on assembly lines in factories.

These days however the massive advancements in AI means that the line between the human world and the computer universe is an increasingly blurry one.

In recent times, Facebook has increased the use artificial intelligence to assist in the monitoring of social media posts.

Now software giant Microsoft are also saying goodbye to human staff and replacing them with machines.

In this case, 27 individuals employed by PA Media, who had been maintaining the news homepages on Microsoft’s MSN website and its Edge browser, were told earlier this week that their contracts would be terminated in a month’s time.

“I spend all my time reading about how automation and AI is going to take all our jobs. And here I am – AI has taken my job,” an un-named staff member said.

What will the MSN AI ‘journalist’ be doing?

The PA Media journalists had not been responsible for writing news copy; their job was to select news stories from other sources, to decide which news was highlighted, and to edit headlines. The strict editorial guidelines which would have been in place will now be managed by the AI ‘journalist’.

There may well be some initial teething issues. But over time – and when one considers the huge resources AI has access to, and the fact that it will continue to grow its knowledge base – robotic ‘journalists’ probably could work in such instances. Perhaps a couple of human supervisors might be employed to plug any gaps.

It’s not good news for human workers as jobs will continue to be lost as more tech companies, and those in other industries, turn to AI to increase their profits.

“Like all companies, we evaluate our business on a regular basis. This can result in increased investment in some places and, from time to time, re-deployment in others. These decisions are not the result of the current pandemic,” said a Microsoft spokesperson.

The Media and Police Finally Admit Someone Died from Underlying Health Conditions

George Floyd’s autopsy shows no signs of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation! His death is attributed to “underlying health conditions, including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease, as well as potential intoxicants in his system”.

Suddenly it’s convenient to use underlying conditions as scapegoats for a cop strangling a guy to the point where he begs the cop not to kill him.

With Covid-19 deaths they find it more convenient to ignore those underlying health conditions as cause of death – ALL DEATHS MUST BE BECAUSE OF COVID-19!

Because the CDC says so…

The number of sheeple who are willfully blind in the face of facts are astonishing. But shouldn’t be. Because it’s the way of the sheeple to mindlessly follow their flock, never questioning their shepherd.

Deaths have been classified as a COVID-19 death even after a physician or loved ones reported otherwise. And those who died “with” COVID-19 have been included in the count with those who died “of” COVID-19.

Hogwash! The sheeple bleat. The numbers are real. We must stay home and lose our jobs and wear our gags! Trillions of people are dying FROM THE KILLER VIRUS!

Actually…deaths have been inflated from the beginning, not secretly, not conspiratorially, but because the CDC said so.

From the CDC Vital Statistics Reporting Guidance, Report No. 3, April 2020: Guidance for Certifying Deaths Due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19):

“The immediate cause of death, which is the disease or condition that directly preceded death and is not necessarily the underlying cause of death (UCOD), should be reported on line A.”

Dr. Sally Aiken, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners (NAME) explains current CDC guidelines are “to list COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death, because it was the disease which initiated the chain of events that directly lead to death.” “[The] idea is that without these conditions, the outcome may have been different.” Other underlying conditions are listed elsewhere on the death certificate, under a section for “other significant conditions contributing to death.”

“This public-health data is beneficial to all of us, eventually giving us a handle on who is most likely to die of COVID-19,” says Aiken. “It is not a conspiracy and not a departure from typical practice.”

There you have it. No conspiracy here, only factual lies.

Due to COVID-19: AIPAC cancels its 2021 policy conference

“The impact of COVID-19 will make this a different and challenging year. But we are confident that the AIPAC community will continue to overcome any obstacle and rise to the occasion.”

WASHINGTON – The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) announced on Sunday it would cancel its 2021 policy conference due to COVID-19. The organization’s president, Betsy Korn, sent an email to members, letting them know that people who have already registered will get a refund.

“Given the continued uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic, and without a predictable avenue to safely bring together thousands of pro-Israel Americans, we have been forced to cancel the 2021 AIPAC Policy Conference,” she wrote.

“While we will sorely miss seeing our AIPAC family in Washington and connecting in person as a pro-Israel community, what truly binds us together is our shared commitment to ensuring the safety and security of America and Israel,” the email reads. “AIPAC will continue to find new and creative ways over the coming year for us to connect online and in person to advance the US-Israel relationship.“

“The impact of COVID-19 will make this a different and challenging year. But we are confident that the AIPAC community will continue to overcome any obstacle and rise to the occasion,” she added. “We look forward to continuing our most important work together to ensure the safety and security of the United States and Israel.”

"Due to the unprecedented situation this is the first time [we are cancelling the policy conference] – since it was already clear that we did not have a predictable avenue to safely bring together thousands of pro-Israel Americans, we have been forced to cancel," an AIPAC official told The Jerusalem Post.

How media and government reports of coronavirus cases make the pandemic look worse than it is

'How many have recovered from the disease?' is a critical question few are asking

Much of the media over the past six months have been devoted ceaselessly to coronavirus coverage, starting with its spread in China, through Asia, into the Middle East and Europe, and into the Americas.

Since the pandemic began in earnest in the United States, seemingly the vast majority of major news reports has been about some aspect of the pandemic: How many are hospitalized, how many have died, what businesses are open, and who's wearing a mask.

In few areas has the coverage been more frenetic than in counting the number of COVID-19 cases throughout the country. Those statistics, which have been supported by aggressive government tabulation of infection rates, have been broadcast from virtually every news outlet for months.

The headlines normally run along these lines: "COVID-19 cases top 40,000 statewide;" "Georgia reports more than 45K COVID-19 cases;" "California becomes 4th state with more than 100,000 coronavirus cases;" "Michigan coronavirus (COVID-19) cases up to 55,608."

Those numbers generally come from specific state's health department, which gathers data from testing sites in cities and counties and reports them in a cumulative batch on Internet "dashboards" for the benefit of both the media and state residents.

It is a useful and necessary way to measure one aspect of the pandemic, but it is also strikingly flawed by one critical measure: It fails to distinguish between confirmed cases and active cases, instead implicitly treating the two as equivalent. The average citizen who sees a headline declaring "100,000 coronavirus cases" may very well interpret those numbers in the worst way possible, believing that there are actively 100,000 people sick with coronavirus in his state.

This convention, in other words, completely ignores the number of recovered coronavirus patients in a population, outwardly making the pandemic appear far more widespread and ongoing than it likely is—an assessment that could very well continue to generate significant fear among the public, hindering economic recovery efforts even as states begin to re-open.

Hundreds of Children Brain Damaged by the Swine Flu Vaccine to Receive $90 Million in Financial Compensation from UK Government

The coronavirus lockdown is seemingly down and out, as many Democrats in charge of big cities including several who once insisted on strict quarantine measures line up to champion the nationwide mass demonstrations over the in-custody death of George Floyd, sans social distancing.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lashed out at protesters calling to reopen the state earlier this month, saying at a news conference, "you have no right to jeopardize my health … and my children's health and your children's health." Cuomo's directives have been enforced throughout the state: A New York City tanning salon owner told Fox News he was fined $1,000 for reopening briefly last week, calling the situation "insane" and saying he already was "broke."

On Friday, though, Cuomo said he "stands" with those defying stay-at-home orders: "Nobody is sanctioning the arson, and the thuggery and the burglaries, but the protesters and the anger and the fear and the frustration? Yes. Yes, and the demand is for justice."

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, meanwhile, had warned that in-person worship services would be a "public-health disaster," disregarding constituents' concerns that he was violating their First Amendment rights. Now, his administration has been distributing masks to rioters, even though public gatherings of 10 or more are still ostensibly banned.

"The city encourages everyone to exercise caution to stay safe while participating in demonstrations, including wearing masks and physical distancing as much as possible to prevent the spread of COVID-19," a news release read. "The city has made hundreds of masks available to protesters this week."

The mayor of Washington D.C., Muriel Bowser, vowed $5,000 fines or 90 days in jail for anyone violating stay-at-home orders. This weekend, though, Bowser defended the protests: "We are grieving hundreds of years of institutional racism. … People are tired, sad, angry and desperate for change."

Turkish Proxies Once Again Turned Afrin City Into Battle Zone

On May 28, an intense fighting erupted between Turkish-backed militant groups in the Turkish-occupied city of Afrin. The clashes started after Hamza Division militants shot and killed a child and an owner of a shop that had refused to loan goods to them. The killed persons appeared to be affiliated with Jaish al-Islam. In response, fighters of the group attacked Hamza Division positions in the city center forcing them to flee Afrin. 3 Hamza Division members, a Jaish al-Islam member and 3 civilians were killed in the clashes. At least 6 civilians were also injured.

The situation de-escalated by the end of the day after the Hamza Division released a statement promising to launch investigating into the incident and hold the fighters involved in the attack on the shop accountable. Early on May 29, Hamza Division fighters reportedly started returning to the Afrin city center.

Looting, street firefights and extortion racket are an ordinary part of the daily life in the Turkish-controlled part of northern Syria. On May 25, two units of the Murad Division clashed with each other in al-Bab and south of the town, near the Abu Zindin crossing with the government-held area. At least one militant and several civilians were injured in the incident that was caused by the struggle for the smuggling route among local commanders.

Turkish-backed militant groups do not care about possible civilian casualties as a result of their criminal activity. The only difference of the Afrin case is that the civilian killed by the Hamza Division appeared to be affiliated with a rival militant group.

A one more security problem for Turkish-led forces is regular attacks by Kurdish rebels. At least nine militants were killed and two others were injured in IED explosions, sniper attacks and ambushed carried out by the Kurdish-led Afrin Liberation Forces in the Afrin region on May 17, May 18, May 19, May 23 and May 25.

On May 28, the Turkish Army and the Russian Military Police held a 13th joint patrol along the M4 highway in southern Idlib. This time the patrol reached the eastern entrance of Kafr Shalaya, which is located a half way from the government-controlled town of Saraqib and the city of Jisr al-Shughur, which is in the hands of al-Qaeda-linked militants.

The expanded length of the joint patrols is a positive signal showing some progress in the Russian-Turkish cooperation to create a security zone along the M4 highway. However, the presence of radicals near Jisr al-Shughur and the recent attack on a Turkish military patrol there demonstrate that the full implementation of the de-escalation deal is still far away.

The Syrian Army and pro-government locals blocked a US military convoy near the town of Tell Tamr and forced it to retreat back to the al-Hasakah countryside on May 27. Over the past months, US forces have been fully squeezed from the territory west of Tell Tamr and now government forces are working to limit their movement even further. In response, the US-led coalition is trying to implement a similar approach towards the Russian Military Police near al-Hasakah.

Russia Sends Note of Protest to US Over Police Use of Pepper Spray on RIA Novosti Reporter

The Russian Embassy in the United States sent a note of protest on Sunday to the Department of State after a Minneapolis police officer pepper-sprayed RIA Novosti reporter Mikhail Turgiyev in the face.

"A note of protest has been sent to the State Department over this revolting incident. We demanded that they conduct a thorough investigation and inform us about its results", Ambassador Anatoly Antonov said in a statement to the press.

The journalist was attacked along with a crew of the VICE magazine after the protests were over. All journalists identified themselves as members of the press and did not resist police.

"Mikhail Turgiyev and American journalists who stood nearby were treated unacceptably by local police officers. Video footage from the scene shows that the media workers identified themselves loudly and clearly, had required markings on their clothes, presented their papers and did not resist", the ambassador said.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said earlier it was concerned about increasing police brutality and unjustified arrests of journalists covering protests that broke out in the United States after the death of black man George Floyd.

Demonstrations have been non-stop across the US since Tuesday, with Minneapolis being the epicentre of citizens' outrage. At some point, protests became violent, with citizens smashing police vehicles, setting cars and municipal property on fire, and even stealing from local businesses.
