Shouldn't Biden recuse himself from Ukraine & China decisions?

ORIGINAL LINK

Hunter-Biden-4.jpg

If we're going to create transparently idiotic, partisan standards on the fly, they should be applied to everyone in government.

If Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has an ethical obligation to recuse himself from all cases related to the Jan. 6 riots because his wife Ginni has opinions on the matter, as most Democrats now contend, it's clear that the president has a moral responsibility to step back from any more decisions concerning Ukraine and China.

Now that the New York Times and Washington Post have both authenticated the Hunter Biden emails – a story that was suppressed by the media and tech conglomerates on the flimsiest of pretexts to help Joe Biden win the 2020 election – it's also what's right for democracy. That's how this works, right?

The Biden case is potentially worse because Hunter Biden, under criminal investigation, implicates his father as fiscal beneficiary in his dealings with corrupt Eastern European energy interests and the Communist Chinese. It's plausible, of course, that Hunter Biden, and Tony Bobulinski, might have been lying about the "Big Guy." It's also true that if this story were about any Republican president, the media would be deploying squadrons of reporters to find out. After all, Joe Biden has previously said not only that he did not benefit from Hunter Biden's work but that he knew absolutely nothing about his son's influence peddling.

And yet there is much circumstantial evidence available that leads us to believe Joe Biden might be lying.

For instance:

  • Hunter Biden accompanied his dad on an Air Force Two flight to China in 2013. What did the vice president believe his son was doing in China, if not going there on business? Hunter Biden's associates also reportedly facilitated a meeting between Chinese officials and favored billionaires in Beijing and the vice president. Did the president attend? If so, what did they talk about?
  • According to the New York Times, Obama administration officials openly worried about Hunter Biden's corrupt relationships. Did they never mention these concerns to the vice president, who claims he knew nothing about his son's corrupt business dealings?
  • In 2018, Joe Biden bragged that as vice president he threatened Ukraine's then-President Petro Poroshenko with the withdrawal of U.S. aid if he didn't fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin. Did Joe Biden know at the time that Shokin was investigating Burisma, the oil company that was paying his son more than $50,000 a month? Did he ever talk to his son about Shokin? Seems kind of important.
  • The verified Hunter Biden emails, first reported by the New York Post, contain a correspondence from an executive with the Ukrainian oil company thanking Hunter for brokering a meeting between himself and Joe Biden, who was vice president at the time. Did Joe Biden take that meeting? If so, did they talk about Hunter Biden's work? If not, what did he talk about with the executive?

And the biggest question the press should be asking the president is: Did Joe Biden ever benefit financially from any of Hunter Biden's dealings? The answer might very well still be "no." There is, after all, no hard evidence to say otherwise. (And, considering the urgency of the institutional press to look into these matters, we're probably never going to find out.) However, on a number of occasions during the past five years, I can recall reading deeply reported profiles about the business dealings of the previous president's children. Journalists and pundits quite understandably wondered if the president himself had been aware of their dealings. They wondered if such relationships should be considered unethical.

Then again, even if Joe Biden was completely unaware of his son's machinations, The Clarence Thomas Standard now states that it doesn't matter. Joe Biden must recuse from making any foreign policy decisions for the sake of democracy. Otherwise, he should, as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez maintains, be impeached.

NIH Deleted Info From Wuhan Lab On Covid-19 Genetic Sequencing, Watchdog FOIA Finds

NIH Deleted Info From Wuhan Lab On Covid-19 Genetic Sequencing, Watchdog FOIA Finds

Authored by Mark Tapscott via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

National Institutes of Health (NIH) documents obtained by a nonprofit watchdog in a federal court suit reveal that the agency deleted Covid-19 genetic sequencing information from the Wuhan Institute of Virology at the Chinese lab’s request.

The Arlington, Virginia-based Empower Oversight Whistleblowers and Researchers (EO) obtained, as a result of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and lawsuit, more than 230 pages of documents dating from 2020 that include emails, memoranda, and other correspondence among and between the lab and multiple NIH officials.

Covid-19 was first detected in China in late 2019, before it spread worldwide. Since the first death from the virus in the United States was reported in January 2020, an estimated 1 million Americans and 6 million globally have reportedly succumbed to the virus.

Controversy has raged in the United States over whether the virus originated in an animal-to-human transfer in a Wuhan-area wet market, as Chinese officials have insisted, or if it escaped from the Wuhan lab where research was being done on such viruses, some of which was being supported with NIH funds through the New York-based nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance.

Among the NIH officials prominently mentioned in the documents are then-NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins and National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, who actively participated in the discussions and decision-making described in the materials obtained by EO.

On June 5, 2020, a Wuhan University researcher requested that NIH retract the researcher’s submission of BioProject ID PRJNA637497 because of error. The Wuhan researcher explained ‘I’m sorry for my wrong submitting,'” EO said in a statement on March 29.

“BioProject ID PRJNA637497 is also referred to as Submission ID SUB7554642. Three days later, on June 8th, the NIH declined the researcher’s request, advising that it prefers to edit or replace, as opposed to delete, sequences submitted to the SRA,” EO reported.

But then, on June 16, 2020, NIH officials reversed themselves and deleted the genetic sequencing data, as requested by the Wuhan researcher.

That researcher was quoted by EO as explaining to NIH: “Recently, I found that it’s hard to visit my submitted SRA data, and it would also be very difficult for me to update the data. I have submitted an updated version of this SRA data to another website, so I want to withdraw the old one at NCBI in order to avoid the data version issue.”

After some discussion about what would be deleted, the NIH concluded the discussion by reassuring the Wuhan researcher that it “had withdrawn everything.”

The documents also indicate, according to EO, that after researcher Jesse Bloom, a virologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, “alerted NIH about the deleted sequences, [Collins] and [Fauci] hosted a Sunday afternoon Zoom meeting. The invitation Collins sent out for the meeting asks invitees to read Bloom’s [June 22, 2021] preprint paper closely and provide their ‘advice on the interpretation and significance of’ it.”

According to EO, the documents show that “Professor Trevor Bedford of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center later sent the group an email stating that the deleted data seemed to support the idea that the pandemic began outside the Huanan market in Wuhan and that the matter must be analyzed properly.”

If the virus’s spread began outside of the market, it would undermine the official Chinese government claim, and thus reinforce claims of experts in the United States and elsewhere that the pandemic likely escaped from the Wuhan lab.

The EO report also claims that NIH communications staff members were using off-the-record emails to advise “reporters toward more favorable coverage concerning termination of public access to the sequences by The Washington Post, and away from coverage by The New York Times, whose ‘tone’ had been criticized in communications among NIH officials.”

In addition, EO said NIH claims to have retained copies of the deleted data “for preservation purposes,” although the federal agency has refused to conduct a transparent examination of it.

An NIH spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email that the sequences in question were submitted in March 2020 by a researcher at a China-based institution for posting in SRA, which it said it managed by NIH’s National Center for Biotechnology (NCBI).

“In June 2020, in response to a request by the same researcher, NCBI gave the sequence data the status of ‘withdrawn,’ which removes sequencing data from all public means of access but does not delete them. NCBI subsequently reassigned the status of the sequence data to ‘suppressed,’ which means that sequence data are removed from the search process but can be directly found by accession number. This action to reassign the data was identified as part of NLM’s ongoing review into the matter. We are working to make more information available,” the spokesperson said.

Collins, Fauci, and the NIAID did not respond to requests for comment.

The EO document release is likely to strengthen congressional efforts to get all the facts concerning the NIH’s role in funding the Wuhan lab research that may be at the center of the CCP virus’s creation and spread around the world.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), a physician who is a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions (HELP), told The Epoch Times that “the NIH deleting key data at the onset of the pandemic has only caused more questions regarding its involvement on the emergence of” the virus.

“The American people deserve to know the truth behind the origins of COVID-19, as well as how we can best prepare for, prevent, and recover from future global pandemics,” Marshall said. “As a physician, I think we always need to know the what, where, how, and why when giving a diagnosis. For this reason, it couldn’t be more important that we get to the bottom of this deleted data and ensure that NIH operates at the interest of our national security.”

The HELP panel on March 15 approved legislation—the PREVENT Pandemics Act—that requires the establishment of a government task force to investigate the origins of the CCP virus. That legislation includes eight provisions authored by Marshall.

“This legislation is in response to the congressional inquiries and various media investigations–including The Epoch Times–revealing national security issues with federal agencies authorizing dangerous research with certain foreign entities that may have contributed to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Marshall’s office told The Epoch Times.

“Dr. Marshall secured his bipartisan 9/11-style COVID Task Force to investigate the origins of COVID-19, as well as find out how we can prepare for, prevent, and recover from future global pandemics,” his office said, adding that he seeks “to ensure that American organizations would never be allowed to conduct dangerous research capable of pandemic proportions with organizations in countries that threaten our national security.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) told The Epoch Times via email that “the radical left has systematically worked to cover the Chinese Communist Party’s tracks and hide the truth of COVID origins.”

“Dr. Fauci, the NIH, and liberal media giants weaponized the COVID-19 pandemic to shut down schools, businesses, and life for hardworking Americans. The report from Empower Oversight exposes what we’ve always known about COVID-19—it’s all about big government control,” she added.

Another Republican senator, Joni Ernst of Iowa, proposed last November to ban all federal funding of EcoHealth Alliance and the “gain-of-function” virus research it supported with federal funds at the Wuhan lab. Other congressional Republicans have also called for a federal investigation of the nonprofit.

NIH deleted COVID virus info at request of Wuhan researcher

Dr. Anthony Fauci responds to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., at a Senate hearing Jan. 11, 2022 (Video screenshot)

Under the leadership of Dr. Francis Collins and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the National Institutes of Health complied with the wishes of researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China and deleted information about the genetic sequencing of the virus that causes COVID-19, according to emails obtained by a nonpartisan whistleblower and government oversight group.

That compliance created consternation among scientists, the emails showed, reported Just the News.

The emails, obtained by a group called Empower Oversight through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, show a Wuhan University researcher submitted virus sequence information to the NIH's Sequence Read Archive then asked that it be deleted.

The documents also show an expert advised Collins and Fauci that Chinese data could undermine Beijing's claim that the pandemic did not originate in the Wuhan lab but had a natural origin.

Fauci, in an interview with the BBC this week, was asked how he "could be so certain, so early on" that the pandemic had a natural origin, when he "knew so little about the virus."

"Well, I was never certain so early on," Fauci replied. "I have always kept an open mind. But when you look at the circumstances of the evolution, the similarity between [SARS-CoV-2] and SARS-CoV-1 from 2002 and 2003, I said – as did many other virologists who are very experienced in that – that the most likely edeology was a jumping species from an animal to the human.

The BBC presenter then brought up the now-retracted letter published in The Lancet in February 2020 by Fauci-funded EcoHealth Alliance founder Peter Daszak ridiculing anyone who posits the lab leak theory as a conspiracy theorist.

"Was the scientific community too quick to dismiss the possibility that it could have come from a laboratory?" she asked.

"Well, I don't think they were dismissing it," Fauci said. "I think it's been misinterpreted. Everyone has always kept an open mind."

That was hardly the tone of Daszak's highly influential letter, which while shutting down debate over the origin of the pandemic, failed to mention Daszak's clear conflict of interest. Daszak was funded by Fauci to work at the Wuhan lab with the famed "bat lady," Shi Zhengli, on the engineering of bat coronaviruses.

Daszak and 26 other scientists stated the letter: "We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin."

Two months after the letter was published, Daszak emailed Fauci to thank him for "publicly standing up and stating that the scientific evidence supports a natural origin for COVID-19 from a bat-to-human spillover, not a lab release from the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

"From my perspective, your comments are brave, and coming from your trusted voice, will help dispel the myths being spun around the virus’s origins," Daszak wrote to Fauci on April 18, 2020.

The virologists who signed the letter in The Lancet then published a March 17, 2020, article in the journal Nature Medicine that stated, "Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus."

But last September, The Lancet published a letter from 16 scientists that essentially condemned the two letters, charging they had "a silencing effect on the wider scientific debate, including among science journalists."

Further, a Jan. 31, 2020, email Fauci received from four top virologists shows there was strong evidence the virus was engineered in a lab. But after a teleconference the next day with Fauci to discuss the virologists' conclusion, the lead virologist began dismissing the lab-leak possibility as among "crackpot theories" that "relate to this virus being somehow engineered with intent and that is demonstrably not the case."

See Fauci's remarks about the pandemic origin:

Empower Oversight, founded by a former top staffer for Iowa GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley, said the documents "raise several questions that need further investigation to answer fully."

"Congress should press the NIH for answers on why it is stonewalling Senate inquiries and dragging its feet on basic transparency through FOIA."

EDITOR'S NOTE: Last year, America's doctors, nurses and paramedics were celebrated as frontline heroes battling a fearsome new pandemic. Today, under Joe Biden, tens of thousands of these same heroes are denounced as rebels, conspiracy theorists, extremists and potential terrorists. Along with massive numbers of police, firemen, Border Patrol agents, Navy SEALs, pilots, air-traffic controllers, and countless other truly essential Americans, they're all considered so dangerous as to merit termination, their professional and personal lives turned upside down due to their decision not to be injected with the experimental COVID vaccines. Biden's tyrannical mandate threatens to cripple American society – from law enforcement to airlines to commercial supply chains to hospitals. It's already happening. But the good news is that huge numbers of "yesterday's heroes" are now fighting back – bravely and boldly. The whole epic showdown is laid out as never before in the sensational October issue of WND's monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE GREAT AMERICAN REBELLION: 'We will not comply!' COVID-19 power grab ignites bold new era of national defiance."

FEC Fines Hillary Clinton, DNC Over Steele Dossier Hoax

FEC Fines Hillary Clinton, DNC Over Steele Dossier Hoax

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has fined both Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for lying about funding the Russian "dossier" which underpinned the collusion hoax that hijacked headlines throughout the Trump presidency, according to the Washington Examiner.

The Clinton-funded dossier was also used by the FBI to justify seeking a FISA surveillance (spy) warrant on the Trump campaign.

According to the FEC, Clinton and the DNC violated strict rules governing disclosure of expenditures on opposition research, when they paid opposition research firm Fusion GPS to contract with Steele and cook up propaganda against Trump.

A combined $1,024,407.97 was paid by the treasurers of the DNC and Clinton campaign to law firm Perkins Coie for Fusion GPS’s information, and the party and campaign hid the reason, claiming it was for legal services, not opposition research.

Instead, the DNC’s $849,407.97 and the Clinton campaign’s $175,000 covered Fusion GPS’s opposition research on the dossier, a basis for the so-called “Russia hoax” that dogged Trump’s first term. -Washington Examiner

The dossier, which was assembled by former (?) UK spook Christopher Steele and used now-indicted Russian national Igor Danchenko as its primary source, made wide ranging and salacious allegations against former President Donald Trump, most of which have been debunked.

Somehow we doubt the 'election interference' crowd is going to pipe up over Clinton's meddling in the 2016 US election, using a dossier that undermined Trump's presidency every step of the way.

According to the FEC memo to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation - which filed a complaint over three years ago, Clinton's campaign and the DNC argued that they were simply paying for "legal advice and services," since it was Perkins Coie that actually hired Fusion GPS. The agency, however, says that the law is clear and was violated.

The fines themselves are minuscule - with Clinton's treasurer hit for $8,000 and the DNC's treasurer for $105,000.

"This may well be the first time that Hillary Clinton — one of the most evidently corrupt politicians in American history — has actually been held legally accountable, and I'm proud to have forced the FEC to do their job for once. The Coolidge Reagan Foundation proved that with pluck and grit, Americans who stand with integrity can stand up to the Clinton machine and other corrupt political elites," said Dan Backer, who brought the complaint on behalf of the foundation.

Democrats block entry of Hunter Biden's laptop contents into congressional record

(Image by MH Rhee from Pixabay)

Amazed that a top FBI cyber official has no idea where Hunter Biden's laptop is after the bureau took custody in late 2019, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., on Tuesday motioned during a House hearing to enter the contents of the first son's computer into the congressional record.

Initially at a loss for words, Democratic Chairman Jerry Nadler of New York objected to the unanimous consent request after consultation, insisting further "investigation" was needed.

Gaetz repeatedly asked the FBI cyber division assistant director, Bryan Vorndran, if he knew the whereabouts of the laptop that is at the center of a Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden's lucrative business deals.

"I don't know that answer," the FBI official said.

"That is astonishing to me," Gaetz said. "Has FBI cyber assessed whether or not Hunter Biden's laptop would be a point of vulnerability, allowing America's enemies to hurt our country?"

Vorndran replied: "Sir, the FBI cyber program is based off of what's codified in Title 18, Section 1030, a code which talks about computer intrusions."

The FBI official insisted that Hunter Biden's laptop is "not within the purview of my investigative responsibilities."

"But that is shocking that you wouldn't, as the assistant director of cyber, know whether or not there are international business deals, kickbacks, shakedowns, that are on this laptop that would make the first family [subject] to some sort of compromise," Gaetz said.

Many defenders of the president have dismissed the "laptop scandal" as a matter personal to Hunter Biden. But the evidence from the computer and the testimony of key figures in the deals indicate Joe Biden is the true head of a family business that has traded on access to the White House with corrupt officials and oligarchs.

The scandal is further exacerbated by the fact that Hunter Biden has confessed to an eminently blackmail-able, out-of-control lifestyle fueled by hard drugs and prostitutes.

The renewed interest in the laptop has come in the wake of a New York Times report confirming that the contents of the laptop are authentic.

'A point of vulnerability'
On Tuesday, Gaetz asked Vorndran if anyone at the FBI has assessed whether or not the laptop "creates a point of vulnerability."

"Sir, we have multiple lines of investigative responsibility at the FBI," he replied. "They're all available and public sourced."

Gaetz argued that Vorndran, as a top bureau official, should know about this case in particular, because it involves the president's son engaging in business deals in China and Ukraine that reference the current president himself.

"I mean, have you assessed whether or not the Hunter Biden laptop gives Russia the ability to harm our country?" the congressman asked.

"Sir, again," Vorndran replied, pausing. "We can do this back and forth for the next couple of minutes. I don't have any information about the Hunter Biden laptop or the investigation."

Vorndran insisted that according to the FBI's leadership chart, as the assistant director of FBI cyber, he has no connection to the laptop investigation.

He ultimately promised he would take to FBI officials Gaetz's request that the bureau provide someone who can come to a House briefing regarding "where the laptop is, whether or not it's a point of vulnerability, whether or not the American people should wonder whether or not the first family is compromised."

But Vorndran refused to display any of the enthusiasm that Gaetz thought worthy of the task, repeatedly insisting that the Hunter Biden matter was not in his purview.

Gaetz argued that the "cyber infrastructure" of the first family undoubtedly is worthy of protection.

'Pending further investigation'
The congressman then sought unanimous consent to enter a portable hard drive with the contents of the laptop – which he held up for the committee to see – into the congressional record.

Nadler replied, "I'm not ... ." Then, after consultation, the chairman said, "We will object pending further investigation."

"What is the basis of that objection?" Gaetz asked.

"It's a unanimous consent request," Nadler said.

After a back and forth, he concluded: "It may very well be entered into the record after we look at it further."

Before his time expired, Gaetz did successfully enter into the record the repair shop receipt for Hunter Biden's laptop.

See the exchange:

Last week, former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr said Joe Biden lied when he told Americans during a presidential campaign debate in October 2020 that the laptop with damning evidence of his complicity in an international family influence-peddling scheme was part of a "Russian disinformation" operation.

The New York Post reported, only weeks before the November 2020 election, that messages on Hunter Biden's laptop indicated Joe Biden not only knew about his son's lucrative deals but also profited from them.

The Corruption in Washington D.C. Is Far Worse Than Most Americans Can Possibly Imagine

ORIGINAL LINK

Most Americans realize that there is corruption in Washington, but very few understand how deep it really goes.  If the general population really did grasp how corrupt our politicians have truly become, there would be endless protests in the streets of Washington starting tomorrow.  Unfortunately, most of us are still convinced that one of the major political parties will ultimately vanquish the other party and restore integrity to our system.  But what if both major political parties are rotten to the core?

From a very early age, we are trained to think in terms of “good guys” and “bad guys”.  Our stories, our movies, our television shows and even our video games feature “heroes” and “villains”, and we are taught to fully embrace those that are fighting for “good” and to passionately hate those that are doing “evil”.

But the real world doesn’t work that way.

Unfortunately, way too often there are no “good guys” in a real world scenario.  I can think of a number of prominent examples that are in the news right now.  Sometimes it is just “the bad guys” vs. “the bad guys”, and that is because evil has become extremely pervasive in our world in modern times.

To illustrate what I am trying to say, let me dig into a concrete example.

On Thursday, an interview that John Lovell recently conducted with Congressman Madison Cawthorn was posted on YouTube, and it immediately sent shockwaves all over the nation.

In that interview, Cawthorn revealed that there is a tremendous amount of “sexual perversion” that goes on in Washington.  In fact, he says that he was actually invited to attend an orgy

‘The sexual perversion that goes on in Washington … being kind of a young guy in Washington where the average age is probably 60 or 70, I look at all these people – a lot of them who I’ve looked up to throughout my life … then all of a sudden you get invited to like, ‘well hey we’re going to have kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes. You should come,’ like, what did you just ask me to come to? And then you realize they’re asking you to come to an orgy.’

For Republicans, it would come as no surprise at all to hear that Democrats are involved in this sort of activity.

But Madison Cawthorn is a Republican.  And even though he didn’t explicitly say it, the truth is that the individual that invited Cawthorn to the orgy was almost certainly also a Republican.

Of course Republicans are supposed to be the party of “family values”, but that hasn’t been true in reality for a very long time. Cawthorn also says that he has personally witnessed cocaine use among the Washington elite

‘There’s some of the people that are leading the movement to try and remove addiction in our country and then you watch them doing, you know, a key bump of cocaine in front of you and it’s like wow, this is wild.’

Yes, this sort of thing really does go on in Washington.

Many go to Congress as idealistic young lawmakers, but it isn’t too long before many of them are corrupted.

The elite will just keep probing until they find a weakness.  For some it is sex, for some it is drugs, for some it is gambling, and for some it is extreme wealth.

And once they identify a weakness that they can exploit, it is game over.

This is something that Cawthorn also commented on during the interview…

“So many people trade in secrets, and there’s a currency to secrets,” he continued. Most disturbingly, he claimed that members of the media deliberately go after these secrets in order to “keep nasty stories about you or other people on a shelf,” ready to use as blackmail.

“If you’re about to speak out against something they don’t want you to, they’ll come out and say ‘we’re about to drop this story of when 17 years ago you did X, Y, and Z, and you don’t want us to drop that story do you, so we’re going to bully you back into this position.’” Cawthorn added.

The elite want politicians that they can control, and blackmail is one of the easiest ways to do that.

Most of the “secrets” in Washington never see the light of day, because politicians that get compromised tend to fall in line and do what they are told.

Once in a while a member of Congress can get out of control, and that is when the hammer is brought down really hard.

If you have not seen it yet, you can find the full interview with Cawthorn right here.  Needless to say, Cawthorn is not supposed to talk about these things.  There is an unwritten rule in Washington that you never talk about how Washington really works.

Now that Cawthorn has broken that rule, he will be targeted.

He may not realize it, but he is actually in great danger.

Cawthorn was elected to Congress in 2020, and the elite are not likely to allow him to stick around for long.  In fact, a long list of primary challengers is now coming after his seat.

If you want a long political career in Washington, you should never talk about the evil that you see. And that goes double for all the sexual stuff that goes on.

But these days, most voters won’t even care if a sexual scandal is revealed.  Many politicians on both sides of the aisle are involved in activity that is extremely depraved, but they will just keep winning elections even if everyone learns what is going on.

And that is because the general population of the country is in an advanced state of moral decay.

Republicans like to accuse Democrats of all sorts of things, and many of them are true, but one survey found that Republicans are even more likely to use a prominent adultery website than Democrats are…

Republicans are apparently more prone to cheating on their spouses than Democrats are, according to survey conducted by a website that helps married people to have affairs.

The website Ashley Madison found that 60 percent of its members are Republican, while less than 40 percent were Democrats, in a survey it released last month.

The reason why so many members of Congress can openly cheat on their spouses and get away with it is because a large proportion of the general population no longer has any moral values either.

The truth is that Washington has become a perfect reflection of society as a whole.

Once someone is able to get to Congress, it can be an endless good time filled with sex, drugs and parties.

And don’t forget about the cash.  Most members of Congress are millionaires, and that includes many that somehow become millionaires after they get elected…

Congress is an exclusive club. It’s also a wealthy one.

More than half of those in Congress are millionaires, data from lawmakers’ most recent personal financial disclosures shows. The median net worth of members of Congress who filed disclosures last year is just over $1 million.

As a society, if we condone the cesspool that Washington has become, then there is no hope for us.

Right now we steamrolling down a road that leads to national suicide, and most Americans don’t seem to care.

The Democrats are not “the good guys”, and they are definitely not going to save the nation.

And as Madison Cawthorn has revealed, the Republicans are not “the good guys” either.

The system that our forefathers established has been completely corrupted, and the American people should be deeply ashamed for allowing this to happen.

Propaganda 101: Ukraine 2022

 https://www.theburningplatform.com/2022/03/27/propaganda-101-ukraine-2022/

During 2011, NATO bombed a path to Tripoli to help its proxy forces on the ground oust Gaddafi. Tens of thousands lost their lives and much of Libya’s social fabric and infrastructure lay in ruins.

The 2016 article appearing in Foreign Policy Journal ‘Hillary Emails Reveal True Motive for Libyan Intervention’ exposed why Libya was targeted.

Gaddafi was murdered and his plans to assert African independence and undermine Western hegemony on that continent were rendered obsolete.

The Daily Expose story claiming "documents were published confirming Moderna created the Covid-19 Virus"

 https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/the-daily-expose-story-claiming-documents

Whilst you were distracted by the Battle for Ukraine, Documents were published confirming Moderna created the Covid-19 Virus.”

I reached out to one of our experts for his opinion. He wrote back that the sequence cited is not unique at all, agreeing with the critics of the study cited in the Daily Mail piece.

So sometimes, mainstream experts are right. This is one of them. It is rare, but it does happen.

Story at-a-glance

  • The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and individual states are now backtracking on their COVID death statistics, showing those of us who claimed deaths were being overcounted were right all along
  • March 14, 2022, the CDC removed 72,277 COVID deaths from the tally, including 24% of those attributed to children under 18. They claim a “coding logic error,” a faulty algorithm, had “accidentally” counted deaths that weren’t related to COVID, such as drowning deaths and drug overdoses
  • As of February 2, 2022, the U.S. Health and Human Services is no longer collecting data on hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19
  • Deaths were initially exaggerated for political — both national and geopolitical — purposes, and now they’re being downplayed for the same reason. Democrats know they cannot win in the midterms unless they declare victory over COVID-19

Many who have followed this coronavirus “public health crisis” and the non-sensical response provided by most of the western nations (including the USA) have been perplexed by two big questions - how was this done (in such a globally coordinated fashion), and why was it done?

In my case, I have tried to follow the various threads of facts and logic, to confront the perplexingly dysfunctional public policies, and to make sense of what is so deeply illogical. What I have found has been layers of lies, one on top of another, which seem to require an amazingly coordinated and globally comprehensive control and shaping of information in the form of propaganda and censorship on a scale which was previously unimaginable. Total information control, and total unrestricted, all encompassing information warfare. Modern media manipulation of thought and minds without boundaries, and without any ethical constraints.

One constant thread which runs through all of the mismanagement, all of the authoritarian policies, all of the totalitarian logic and messaging, has been the role of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its acolytes. WEF is a key think tank and meeting place for global capitalism management, and arguably qualifies as the leading global Deep State organization. Under the leadership of Professor Klaus Schwab, it has played an increasingly important role in coordinating the globalized hegemony of transnational capital and large corporations over Western democracies during the last three decades. Many of its members actively use Covid-19 as cover to carry out a “Great Reset” as described in Schwab’s writings. This Great Reset involves implementation of digital tracking and control of people, ushering in techno-feudalism, and the WEF objective of a fourth industrial revolution incorporating technologies collectively referred to as “transhumanism.” Western governments and WEF have identified genetic mRNA vaccines as a first step toward an inevitable transhuman society which they seek to guide us towards. The WEF has developed and implemented a training program which has yielded thousands of acolytes who have been placed into positions of power throughout the western world. A small representative sampling of these includes the following drawn from the ranks of the United States government and industry:


10 COVID-19 'Truths' That Weren't True

 https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/02/01/covid-19-pandemic-lies-biden-fauci/

The media, health officials, and Big Tech have been quick to condemn COVID-19 “misinformation” or conspiracy theories.

They’ve censored social media posts and banned users, from high-profile lawmakers to your grandmother. They’ve locked down the country, shuttered businesses and churches, arrested pastors, ordered the masking of children for years, and fired essential workers over resisting mandated vaccinations. All for the sake of “slowing the spread” of the coronavirus pandemic.

We now know that we have been lied to by the very people who claimed to be protecting us, and we have been lied to repeatedly. So, let’s take a look at just a few of the COVID-19 conspiracy theories that weren’t: 10 times that media, health officials, or our very own president were proven to have lied about the coronavirus pandemic.

Taibbi: The Media Campaign To Protect Joe Biden Passes Point Of Absurdity

 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tk-mashup-media-campaign-protect-joe-biden-passes-point-absurdity


Authored by Matt Taibbi via TK News,

Burying the lede just a bit, the New York Times on March 16th published a long, spirited piece about the federal tax investigation of Hunter Biden. This is the 24th paragraph:

People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.

 

In confirming that federal prosecutors are treating as “authenticated” the Biden emails, the Times story applies the final dollop of clown makeup to Wolf Blitzer, Lesley Stahl, Christiane Amanpour, Brian Stelter, and countless other hapless media stooges, many starring in Matt Orfalea’s damning montage above (the Hunter half-laugh is classic, by the way). All cooperated with intelligence officials to dismiss a damaging story about Biden’s abandoned laptop and his dealings with the corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma as “Russian disinformation.” They tossed in terms thought up for them by spooks as if they were their own thoughts, using words like “obviously” and “classic” and “textbook” to describe “the playbook of Russian disinformation,” in what itself was and still is a wildly successful disinformation campaign, one begun well before the much-derided (and initially censored) New York Post exposé on the topic from October of 2020.

Not to be petty, but — well, yes, let’s be petty, just a little, and point out that many of the people who were the most pompous about this story turned out to be the most wrong, including the conga line of Intercept editors and staffers who essentially knocked Glenn Greenwald all the way to Substack over the issue. There are more important things going on in the world, but for sheer bootlicking conformist excess and depraved journalist-on-journalist venom the “Russian disinformation” fiasco has no equal, and probably needs recording for posterity before it’s memory-holed via some creepy homage to Severance, or a next-gen algorithmic witch-hunt, or whatever other federally contracted monstrosities are being readied for deployment somewhere far up the anus of Silicon Valley. For comic relief, start with the Intercept:

President Biden: There's Going To Be A New World Order, It Hasn't Happened In A While And America Has To Lead I

President Biden, the former Senator from Delaware, addressed the Business Roundtable on Monday afternoon.

"We're at an inflection point, I believe, in the world economy, not just the world economy, the world, that occurs every three or four generations," the president said. "[A general told me that] 60 million people died between 1900 and 1946 and since then we've established a liberal world order, and it hasn't happened in a long while."

"A lot of people died, but nowhere near the chaos."
