BIOTERRORISM: Gates Foundation awarded $9.5 million to UW-Madison to make H5N1 bird flu transmissible to humans

The McCullough Foundation, a project of Dr. Peter McCullough, tweeted that the Gates Foundation gave the $9.5 million to UW-Madison and principal investigator Yoshihiro Kawaoka to modify, possibly through gain-of-function tampering, H5N1 so it will “preferentially recognize human-type receptors and transmit efficiently in mammals.”

Much like bat coronaviruses, which we now know were modified in a lab to jump from bats to humans, H5N1 infects birds in its natural state. Building upon the research of Ron Fouchier, who previously modified H5N1 to become airborne transmissible in ferrets, UW-Madison and Kawaoka’s research provides two additional mutations that are needed to make Egyptian H5N1 produce “variants” that have mammalian “transmissibility features.”

“This indicates that the @gatesfoundation funded bioterrorist-like activities involving H5N1, providing blueprints for other bad actors who may want to create a bioweapon,” tweeted the McCullough Foundation about these disturbing new revelations.”

A news update about the research states that avian viruses in general do not infect human or other mammalian hosts. It then goes on to state that every once in a while, “a mutation occurs” that changes the game, which is how a pandemic starts.

How that “mutation occurs” is not explained in the article, but Kawaoka and Horimoto are reportedly being paid by Gates to identify an early warning system the moment one does occur that could lead to a global outbreak and pandemic.


Report: Puerto Rico Primary Marred By Issues With Voting Machines

TARA A. MOLLE, DHS / FLICKR

Voting machines from Dominion Voting Systems allegedly miscounted hundreds of votes during Puerto Rico’s primary election on Tuesday, leading the U.S. territory to review its contract with the U.S.-based company, according to a report from the Associated Press (AP).

The AP cited Jessika Padilla Rivera, the interim president of Puerto Rico’s elections commission, to report that the miscount “stemmed from a software issue that caused machines supplied by Dominion Voting Systems to incorrectly calculate vote totals.”

Dominion confirmed that “software issues stemmed from the digital files used to export results from the machines,” according to the report.

The primary was held so the Popular Democratic Party, which supports keeping the island’s current status as a territory, and the New Progressive Party, which supports Puerto Rican statehood, could choose their respective candidates for the island’s gubernatorial race. Though no one is contesting the results of the race, at least 6,000 Dominion Voting Systems machines were reportedly used in the primary.

The AP reported that “both parties reported hundreds of ballots showing inaccurate results, with the PNP reporting over 700 errors and the PPD pointing to some 350 discrepancies.”


New Jersey Democratic Power Broker George Norcross Indicted in Sweeping Corruption Probe

Norcross, a former Democratic National Committee member and one-time head of the Camden County Democratic Party, has been an influential figure in state politics. The indictment alleges that Norcross and others got property rights along the Camden waterfront and collected millions of dollars in state-backed tax credits.

At a news conferenced in Trenton, New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin accused Norcross of leading a criminal enterprise, obtaining millions in tax credits and property rights along the Delaware River waterfront in Camden.

Platkin said Norcross told a developer that he had to relinquish his property rights or he would retaliate and make it impossible for the developer to do business in Camden if he refused.

Members of the alleged conspiracy also got a government development agency to help them get leverage in private negotiations, Platkin said….

How Left-wing Conspiracies Work

Since 2016, there has been a clear pattern to left-wing conspiracies—beyond the obvious fact that they traffic in lies, stereotypes, and paranoia to serve precise political agendas.

We now know that the conspiracy to cook up the Russian-collusion hoax—Donald Trump allegedly conniving with Vladimir Putin to rig the 2016 vote—was perpetrated by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Its funding was hidden by the Democratic National Committee, the law firm Perkins Coie, and Fusion GPS.

The January 6th riot was certainly wrong and buffoonish. But the idea that it was an insurrection aiming to violently overthrow the U.S. government was also a left-wing myth fueled by the Democratic House leadership and the media.

All these schemes have their commonalities:

1) They are aimed at achieving political objectives.

2) These conspiracies involved the most powerful U.S. government agencies.

3) The media conspired with government agencies to spread the hoaxes.

4) Few, if any, in the media or the government were ever punished for their conspiracies to create and spread such complete fabrications.

From the above, we can assume that conspiracies successfully achieve left-wing goals. The hoaxes are used by bureaucracies against conservatives and Republican candidates. They are spread like wildfire by a corrupt media and, when exposed and refuted, rarely lead to legal culpability or disgrace rather than publicity-driven lucrative post-scandal employment.

One chief common trait is projection. By accusing others of high crimes and misdemeanors, the conspirators become exempt from criminal charges.

Hillary Clinton and her campaign were never charged with illegally hiring a foreign national to draw on Russian sources to smear their 2016 campaign opponent.

The Biden campaign was never held accountable for conspiring to organize so-called retired intelligence experts to formally lie to the American people to influence an election.

High officials of the U.S. government lied under oath with impunity about their role in funding gain-of-function research after conspiring to circumvent U.S. law prohibiting such research….


Proper remedy for Garland is impeachment: Hammer | National Report

On Monday’s “National Report,” commentator Josh Hammer, attorney Mehek Cooke, and attorney Gerard Filitti sound off on the best way to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland accountable.


Mayor-elect pulled off bus and assassinated near resort city of Acapulco

Local newspaper El Sur de Guerrero reported that Villalba was a retired Navy captain who was usually protected by National Guard escorts, but was traveling alone to Mexico City when he was killed.  

“The mayor-elect was taken off the bus he was traveling on when it stopped near San Pedro las Playas” and shot, the outlet reported.  

Local media also reported Villalba had decided to run for mayor after his friend, a candidate, was murdered in June 2023.

In Mexico’s general election on June 2, leftist Claudia Sheinbaum was elected by an overwhelming majority as the first woman president of the country.

As well as choosing a new president, Mexicans voted for members of Congress, several state governors and myriad local officials — a total of more than 20,000 positions.

Since Mexico’s campaign season began last September, more than two dozen political candidates have been killed, according to Data Civica, a non-governmental organization….


IDF warns Hezbollah could destroy Lebanon; Biden warns Israel over Gaza Strip TV7 Israel News 17.06

1) Israel sustains heavy losses, as the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip persists.

2) Washington ups its pressure on Jerusalem vis-à-vis humanitarian aid related to the Gaza Strip.

3) Hostilities escalate along Israel’s northern front – as prospects for wide-escalation continues to rise.


CNN Equates IDF With Dishonest Terror Group

Social media has been buzzing with rumors about journalist and former Hamas Labor Ministry Spokesperson Abdallah Aljamal’s role in holding three of the since-rescued hostages — Almog Meir-Jan, Shlomi Ziv, and Andrey Kozlov — in his family’s apartment in Gaza.

Sure enough, several media outlets have spun this story to fit their narrative — including CNN. It published a piece last week titled “Israel Alleges Journalist Held Hostages in Gaza, Without Providing Evidence.”

Yet when compared to how CNN covers Gaza’s side of the story, the contrast is night and day.

The article suggests that Israel makes claims with zero accountability: “Three hostages rescued during a deadly Israeli military operation on the Nuseirat camp,” it writes, “were held captive by a journalist …” saying that the IDF “alleged” this information, “without providing evidence to support their claim.”

As it turns out, Aljamal was a past contributor for Al Jazeera, and regularly wrote for the Palestine Chronicle – a US-registered non-profit organization based in Washington State — which has links with both Hamas and the Islamic regime of Iran, according to an investigation done by the Washington Free Beacon.

According to the Palestine Chronicle, Aljamal’s articles were consistently about the Gaza humanitarian situation. Meanwhile, he had been holding Israeli civilian hostages for months in his family home, and barely feeding them…


Captain of USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Pokes Fun at Houthi’s False Claims of Striking Ship with ‘Taco Tuesdays’ and Other Morale Boosting Activities

The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower may be one of the oldest aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy, but it’s still fighting — despite repeated false claims by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

The Houthis and social media accounts supporting them repeatedly have falsely claimed they hit or even sank the carrier in the Red Sea. The carrier leads the U.S. response to the rebels’ targeting of commercial vessels and warships in the crucial waterway — attacks the Houthis say are aimed at bringing an end to the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.

The Eisenhower’s leader, Capt. Christopher “Chowdah” Hill, is creatively striking back on social media to counter the misinformation — and boost the morale of the ship’s 5,000 personnel — as the Navy faces its most intense combat since World War II.

“I think it’s been about two or three times in the past six months we’ve allegedly been sunk, which we have not been,” Hill told The Associated Press during a recent visit to the carrier. “It is almost comical at this point. They’re attempting to maybe inspire themselves through misinformation, but it doesn’t work on us.”…

White House accused of scuttling Democratic support for ethics bill

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) made sure to line up an equal number of lawmakers from each side of the aisle to serve as co-sponsors when they joined forces on a White House ethics bill last month. 

That careful balance soon fell apart, however, after three Democrats backed out of their previous commitments to support the bill — vanishing, Porter said, after the White House reached out to her colleagues.

That backing slipped away, she said, on the eve of the bill’s introduction as she was boarding a flight back to Washington, D.C.

“I was excited to come to Washington to introduce my bill. And was proud that I had found three senior Democratic co-sponsors. When I landed, I was really disappointed to learn that those co-sponsors had decided not to support the bill and had had conversations with the White House,” Porter told The Hill. 

The bill from Comer and Porter would impose a series of disclosure requirements on both presidents and vice presidents, including on any foreign income earned either by themselves or their relatives.

It would also require those top executives, once elected, to share their tax returns and to disclose any conflicts of interest.


Comer: House Oversight to Investigate NewsGuard

“The Committee does not take issue with a business entity providing other businesses and customers with data-based analysis to protect their brands,” Comer said. “Rather, we are concerned with the potential involvement of government entities in interfering with free expression.”

NewsGuard claims to rate news sources based on reliability, with scores coming from “expert journalists” who use a scale of 0-100 to rate publishers, according to its website.

The company says it bases its ratings on whether certain websites repeatedly publish fake or misleading content, and whether it separates opinion from news.

It also rates whether sites are using misleading headlines, disclose their financing and ownership, and reveals conflicts of interest.

Critics of NewsGuard have argued the group is highly biased and partisan, and uses subjective judgments as to what news stories it decides to rate for bias.

Netanyahu Dissolves War Cabinet Amid War on Hamas

The move was widely expected following the departure of Benny Gantz, a centrist former military chief, earlier this month.

Gantz’s absence from the government makes Netanyahu more dependent on his ultranationalist allies to govern and the dissolution of the War Cabinet underlines that shift as the eight-month-long war in Gaza drags on.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the change with the media, said that going forward Netanyahu would hold smaller forums with some of his government members for sensitive issues surrounding the war. That includes his security Cabinet, where far-right governing partners who oppose cease-fire deals and have voiced support for reoccupying Gaza, are members.

Israel and Hamas are weighing the latest proposal for a cease-fire in exchange for the release of hostages taken by Hamas during its attack. Israeli troops are still bogged down in the Gaza Strip, fighting in the southern city of Rafah and against pockets of Hamas resurgence elsewhere. And violence continues unabated between Israel and the Lebanese Hezbollah militant group — with a Biden administration envoy in the region in a bid to avert a wider war on a second front….

Dozens Hospitalized in Moscow Amid Mass Food Poisoning Incident

More than 120 people sought medical help and at least 30 are in intensive care following a suspected outbreak of a rare and extremely dangerous food poisoning in Moscow, health officials said Monday.

The patients were admitted to the hospital with suspected foodborne botulism, a life-threatening condition that attacks the nervous system and can cause respiratory failure and paralysis.

Russian authorities said the toxic outbreak came from salads distributed by a popular online delivery service, which on Sunday temporarily suspended its operations amid a criminal investigation.

“In total, 121 people sought medical help,” state media agencies quoted Moscow Deputy Mayor Anastasia Rakova as saying on Monday…

Polish people stood up and said “we don’t want to be a garrison for NATO, we don’t want the Ukrainization of Poland.”

Polish EU MP Grzegorz Braun just won a landslide election victory which is a big middle finger to NATO and the EU globalist cabal. Let’s use a fire extinguisher to put out the fire of globalism.


320,000 GHOST VOTERS Identified in MUST-WIN State of MI — Are Democrats Resorting to Dirty Tricks Reportedly Used by a Third-World Country to Win in 2024?

Poll challengers were prevented from observing the vote count at TCF Center by pizza boxes on windows and officials locking them out of the counting area.

Votes were being processed at the TCF Center by election workers, even though the voter’s names didn’t appear in the electronic poll books or supplemental poll books.

Poll challengers had no way of knowing if they were watching votes being cast by dead or imaginary voters, as the voter rolls were so over-bloated that it was impossible for them to check for the legitimacy of the so-called 150,000 “voters” who pushed Biden to an alleged victory in the must-win state of Michigan.

In September 2020, Benson revealed that 500,000 of the 7.7 million unsolicited absentee ballot applications had been returned between May and August. The far-left MI Secretary of State told the Detroit News that she would perform voter list “maintenance” after the November 3 election, citing federal law prohibiting list maintenance 90 days before an election.

One can’t help but question the timing of Jocelyn Benson’s decision to mail the absentee ballot applications in May. Was this a strategic move to exploit a loophole in federal law, preventing the removal of ineligible voters before the November election? Such actions raise serious doubts about the integrity of the election process.

In June, conservative activist and Michigan Freedom Fund director Tony Daunt filed a lawsuit to force Secretary of State Benson to clean up the voter rolls. Daunt claims that his lawsuit was why Benson was forced to remove 177,000 names from the Michigan voter rolls.

Why did Michigan’s Democrat SOS Jocelyn Benson only remove 177,000 names from her voter rolls when, in September, she reported that an estimated 500,000 of the 7.7 million unsolicited ballot applications were returned because the recipients had either died or moved?

Another serious problem with Michigan’s dirty voter rolls has now been reported by the amazing election integrity group Michigan Fair Elections. According to MFE Investigator Randy Schiffer, Michigan’s 2024 QVF or Qualified Voter Files include a stunning number of “ghost voters.”

Ghost voters are shadows who linger on the voter rolls after their original registrants have moved on. Often, the original registrants relocated out of state died or were automatically re-registered with a duplicate identification number, thanks to Michigan’s new automatic voter registration law or the President or Governor’s Executive Order commanding untold agencies to register all their constituents….


The Guy Who Organizes Ballot Counting, Says Election Results Will Not Match Polling

Remember, elections are no longer about “votes,” modern elections are about “ballots”.  The election winner is not the person who gets the most votes. The election winner is the person who collects, submits and counts the most ballots.   The contest for electoral victory is who gains the most ballots, not votes.

That said, at the end of the ballot harvesting operation in the key state counties for Democrats, there are precinct workers who are then tasked with counting those ballots.

The number of ballots needed to change the outcome of the election, is essentially the determining factor in how many ballots the precinct workers in the key districts count.

Most of the regional precinct workers in the key counties that change the elections, are affiliated with and originate from the AME church network.

The African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church, has precinct level ballot counting election operations (poll workers) in the key counties [Fulton (GA), Wayne (Mich), Philadelphia and Pittsburgh (PA), Clark (NV), Maricopa (AZ), Dane (WI), etc.]  The ballot counting doesn’t need to happen all over the state, just at the key urban county level.

The DNC operation (Obama/BLM network) concentrates heavily on the ballot harvesting.  However, when they turn those ballots over to the county level precinct workers, that’s where the AME church network and South Carolina Representative James Clyburn come into play.

The DNC no longer focuses on controlling the Secretary of State or Attorney General approach.  With the George Soros machine running the District Attorney level angle the democrats only need to concern themselves with the precinct level poll worker support.  Clyburn’s AME network is protected by the willfully blind George Soros DA’s.   It’s a one-hand washing the other-hand proposition…..


Kansas sues Pfizer over ‘misrepresentations’ and ‘adverse events’ of COVID-19 vaccine

“Pfizer misled the public that it had a ‘safe and effective’ COVID-19 vaccine,” the 69-page lawsuit filed Monday in the District Court of Thomas County alleges.

“Pfizer said its COVID-19 vaccine was safe even though it knew its COVID-19 vaccine was connected to serious adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies, and deaths. Pfizer concealed this critical safety information from the public,” the suit alleges. 

The lawsuit alleges that the company’s “actions and statements relating to its COVID-19 vaccine” violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, “regardless of whether any individual consumer ultimately received Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.”

“Pfizer must be held accountable for falsely representing the benefits of its COVID-19 vaccine while concealing and suppressing the truth about its vaccine’s safety risks, waning effectiveness, and inability to prevent transmission,” the lawsuit says.

The suit, filed by Republican Attorney General Kris Kobach, alleges that through the company’s “misrepresentations” of the vaccine, it earned “record company revenue” of approximately $75 billion in just two years. …


Morgan Freeman Explains Why He ‘Detests’ Black History Month: ‘My History Is American History’

Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP

Freeman told Variety in an exchange with journalist Marta Balaga the very idea makes his “teeth itch” and he prefers the broader sweep of the entire arc of American history:

I detest it. The mere idea of it. You are going to give me the shortest month in a year? And you are going to celebrate ‘my’ history?! This whole idea makes my teeth itch. It’s not right.

My history is American history.

It’s the one thing in this world I am interested in, beyond making money, having a good time and getting enough sleep.

Black History Month has been in the actor’s sights before, admitting last year he finds the idea and the term African-American an “insult,” as Breitbart News reported.

“Two things I can say publicly that I do not like. Black History Month is an insult. You’re going to relegate my history to a month?” he told The Sunday Times’s Culture magazine.

“Also ‘African-American’ is an insult. I don’t subscribe to that title. Black people have had different titles all the way back to the n-word and I do not know how these things get such a grip, but everyone uses ‘African-American’.”…


NATO Chief says Alliance Discussing Putting Nuclear Warheads on Standby

“I won’t go into operational details about how many nuclear warheads should be operational and which should be stored, but we need to consult on these issues. That’s exactly what we’re doing,” Stoltenberg told The Telegraph newspaper on Sunday.

Stoltenberg added that China is actively investing in its nuclear arsenal, which will grow to 1,000 warheads by the early 2030s.

“And that means that in a not-very-distant future NATO may face something that it has never faced before, and that is two nuclear-powered potential adversaries – China and Russia. Of course, this has consequences,” he said.


Newspaper man who exposed trans shooter’s manifesto is ordered to court — and press freedom types are silent

Blaze News’ Steve Baker is on the scene today covering the case of a fellow reporter similarly facing punishment for revealing uncomfortable truths.

After a year of uncertainty and Democrats exploiting the massacre to push gun bans, the truth has become abundantly clear, thanks to Michael Patrick Leahy, the CEO of Star News Digital Media and the editor of the Tennessee Star, who published the shooter’s suicide note and other writings, which his paper obtained from an unnamed source some have suggested is close to the MNPD’s investigation.

It appears Leahy may ultimately pay a price for doing his job and protecting his source.

After Stacy Cameron, a reporter for a local Fox News affiliate, effectively snitched on the Tennessee Star for detailing the shooter’s leaked writings, l’Ashea Myles — the Democratic judge for Part III of the Tennessee 20th Judicial District Chancery Court — ordered Leahy last week to court for a show cause hearing.

Blaze News investigative reporter Steve Baker, who himself was arrested earlier this year for working in a journalistic capacity, will be on the scene for the hearing and has spoken with Leahy concerning the hazards of reporting on what the liberal media appears otherwise keen to ignore.

Baker suggested that the apparent aim is to stop the release of documents that the powers that be “see as inappropriate because, once again, we have a favored class of citizens — a subclass — of transgender people,” and such damning information might also implicate the use of profitable antidepressants and puberty blockers….
