  • Man with missing wife and in-laws arrested after woman’s torso is found in dumpster

    LOS ANGELES (TCD) — A man was arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman’s dismembered body was discovered in a large dumpster this week.

    According to KTLA-TV, on Wednesday, Nov. 8, at approximately 6:15 a.m., a man looking through a recycling bin in Encino found a duffel bag with a trash bag inside. When he opened it, he found a female torso. No other remains were reportedly found at the site.

    KTLA reports workers called police Tuesday evening to report a “suspicious bag they believed could have body parts inside.” Officers went to a residence on Coldstream Terrace in Tarzana but did not find anything. Investigators looked through surveillance footage from the parking lot where the torso was found and located a car linked to the suspect, Samuel Haskell.

    Police arrested Haskell Wednesday at a mall and booked him into the Van Nuys Jail. His bail was set at $2 million.

    According to KABC-TV, Haskell, his wife Mei Haskell, and her parents Yanxiang Wang and Gaoshen Li all lived at the home on Coldstream Terrace. Samuel Haskell’s wife and his in-laws are missing.

    Los Angeles Police Det. Efren Gutierrez said investigators were “concerned” about Mei Haskell, Wang, and Li because they did not answer their phones, nor were they home at regular hours.

    Gutierrez told KABC officers went into Haskell’s home and found “evidence of a crime, including some blood evidence and other items that I’m not going to provide at this point.”

    The victim whose torso had been left in the dumpster has not been positively identified yet.

  • Photographers For Major News Agencies Were Embedded With Hamas During Oct 7 Attack

    HAMAS attack on Israel

    Photographers working for major news outlets knew that the Hamas attack was coming and were embedded with them as they entered Israel on October 7th.

    Honest Reporting has revealed that Gaza-based employees of the Associated Press (AP) and Reuters, who also do contract work for CNN and The New York Times, were embedded with Hamas during their killing spree across southern Israel.

    This begs the question how did the Israeli government and its state-of-the-art military and surveillance network not know that the attack was coming?

    According to the Dossier: The report asks many compelling questions:

    What were they doing there so early on what would ordinarily have been a quiet Saturday morning? Was it coordinated with Hamas? Did the respectable wire services, which published their photos, approve of their presence inside enemy territory, together with the terrorist infiltrators? Did the photojournalists who freelance for other media, like CNN and The New York Times, notify these outlets? Judging from the pictures of lynching, kidnapping and storming of an Israeli kibbutz, it seems like the border has been breached not only physically, but also journalistically.

    It seems plausible that these “journalists” had advance knowledge of the attack and did nothing to warn authorities of the planned massacre. Not only that, the photos and videos of that horrific day show that these photojournalists were embedded with Hamas without any apparel that identifies them as press.

    The report even documents that one of the men, Hassan Eslaiah, who works for AP and CNN, deleted evidence of his involvement in the assault, in which Eslaiah was dressed in plainclothes.

    On X.com, a photo surfaced this evening of Eslaiah embracing Yahya Sinwar, the highest ranking Hamas official in Gaza. Sinwar has been convicted of committing several murders and acts of terrorism

    While Reuters is based in London, The Associated Press, CNN, and The New York Times are all headquartered in the United States, where it is illegal to provide material support to Hamas, because the jihadist group is listed as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

    The AP, for its part, has long had disturbingly cozy ties with Hamas in Gaza, having once shared an office space with the intelligence services of the jihadi group. Israeli forces demolished the building in 2021, sparking outrage with the usual suspects in the corporate media.

    Now, it’s certainly worth wondering whether these corporate media outfits could be implicated in a congressional and/or criminal investigation into the activities of their paid staffers and contractors in Gaza.

  • RNC Reveals Top-Tier Conservative Media Host as Moderator for Next Debate

    The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced Thursday that Megyn Kelly and other well-known journalists will host the fourth GOP presidential debate on December 6.

    The fourth debate will be held in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and will be co-hosted by NewsNation, The Washington Free Beacon, The Megyn Kelly Show on SiriusXM, and Rumble. What a great choice! Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Beacon, and Elizabeth Vargas, news anchor for NewsNation, will join Kelly to run the forum.

    “It will be the margarita of debates – spicy, fun and somewhat intoxicating. Looking forward to it,” Kelly said in a press release.

    Fox News and Fox Business hosted the first two debates. The Young America’s Foundation (YAF), the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Univision, and Rumble were picked to be as partners. Some well-known conservative media figures spoke out against the second discussion after Univision reporter Ilia Calderón asked questions about racism and LGBTQ discrimination.

    Kelly didn’t like the second debate and tweeted, “Is this an MSNBC debate?”

    After the reaction, the RNC teamed up with NBC News, Salem Radio News, and the Republican Jewish Coalition for the discussion. Aside from a few heated exchanges, the third debate was mostly a chance for the candidates to say what they wanted to say. The lawmakers had fewer chances to react.

    In a 2022 interview, David Bossie, who was in charge of the Temporary Committee on Presidential talks, said that the talks would not be shown on the “same old outlets” but would instead be shown on “conservative media.”

    “Look I am just spitballing here because we have not done anything but wouldn’t the American people, the Republican primary voters want to see a debate where, I don’t know Mark Levin and Dan Bongino got to ask questions? Right? Wouldn’t that be interesting and entertaining all at the same time?” Bossie told Daily Caller editorial director and WMALDC radio host Vince Coglianese when asked if the debates would be hosted by conservative media outlets such as the Daily Wire, Breitbart or National Review.

    The news comes one day after Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy roasted the Republican Party and the NBC moderators for the debate format being hosted by Democrats.

    !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src=”https://rumble.com/embedJS/u4870v”+(arguments[1].video?’.’+arguments[1].video:”)+”/?url=”+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+”&args=”+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, “script”, “Rumble”);

    Rumble(“play”, {“video”:”v3s3f7j”,”div”:”rumble_v3s3f7j”});

    “Frankly, look,” Ramaswamy began. “The people there, cheering for losing in the Republican Party. Think about who’s moderating this debate. This should be Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk. We’d have 10 times the viewership asking questions that GOP primary voters actually care about and bringing more people into our party.”

    “Do you think the Democrats, and we’ve got Kristen Welker here, do you think that Democrats would actually hire Greg Gutfeld to host a Democratic debate? They wouldn’t do it,” he added.

    “And so the fact of the matter is, I mean, Kristen, I’m going to use this time. This is actually about you in the media and the Corrupt Media Establishment. Let me ask you: The Trump Russia collusion hoax that you pushed on this network for years — was that real or was that Hillary Clinton made-up disinformation? Answer the question.”

    “This is how we get our country back,” he continued. “We need accountability because this media rigged the 2016 election. They rigged the 2020 election with a Hunter Biden laptop story, and they’re going to rig this election.”

    It looks like RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel is no fan of Mr. Ramaswamy, if we can believe the reports from Tim Pool that McDaniel called him an “a**hole.”

    But gauging by her announcement on Thursday morning, deep down, she knows he is right.

  • Las Vegas teen allegedly shot man repeatedly because he flirted with his girlfriend

    LAS VEGAS (TCD) — An 18-year-old man stands accused of fatally shooting a victim during a house party over the weekend.

    On Sunday, Nov. 5, at around 2:20 a.m., the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded to a home in the 1600 block of North Betty Lane in reference to a shooting. Officers found a male victim, identified by KVVU-TV as Maykool Regino-Perez, in the backyard suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

    Police said the victim was attending a party when a physical altercation occurred. The suspect, Mauricio Quinteros, allegedly took out a gun during the fight and fired at the victim before fleeing the scene.

    According to KVVU, a witness said Quinteros confronted another person about “hitting on” his girlfriend, and Quinteros allegedly punched the victim in the face before shooting him.

    Once the victim was on the ground, Quinteros allegedly shot him multiple times. In total, the witness reportedly said the suspect fired five to seven rounds.

    Afterward, Quinteros fled the scene in a blue Dodge Challenger with two other people, KVVU reports.

    Investigators recovered six .40 caliber cartridge cases at the scene and observed blood as well.

    Police took Quinteros into custody and reportedly confiscated a black .40 caliber firearm in his possession.

    Quinteros was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on a charge of open murder.

  • WHO: ‘We Have 10 Years of Pandemics Planned To Usher In Agenda 2030’

    WHO admits there are 10 years of pandemics planned to usher in 2030 agenda

    The World Health Organization (WHO) has admitted that it has orchestrated ten years of pandemics, which will be used as an excuse to usher in ‘Agenda 2030.’

    Starting in 2020, the WHO began rolling out the first wave of infectious diseases in the form of COVID-19.

    Excess mortality across the world has soared since the Covid pandemic, helping to depopulate the planet – a key part of the globalist agenda.

    NN reports: Over a year ago, Dr. Michael Yeadon, former VP and Chief of Science at Pfizer, warned that excess deaths will appear in the next 3-5 and even up to ten years, because of the false and criminal, untested mRNA vaxxes.

    He elaborates. After all the boosters – 3 to 4 shots – the immune system has lost up to 80% of its defences.

    Thus, people are more vulnerable to catching any kind of disease.

    Plus, myocarditis and sudden deaths are on the rise – even in young people, especially those who practice sport or are sports professionals.

    In addition, graphene oxide injection and other concoctions being injected, cause all sorts of cancers, mostly in reproductive systems of men and women, as well as several types of cancers of the blood, of the eyes causing blindness… liver and kidney diseases… and much more.

    In addition, these injections, called vaccines, also cause massive infertility. In some countries life-childbirth was down by up to 40% in 2022.

    Dr. Yeadon warned that the diseases will be very difficult to trace back to the vaxxes, but that’s where the origin is.

    A clear eugenics agenda, mass depopulation, unprecedented.

    Genocide is a word that doesn’t meet the extent of the atrocity that’s behind what we are living through — what the cabal is carrying out.

    The UN Agenda 2030, alias Klaus Schwab’s (WEF) Great Reset and the nefarious, all-digitizing 4th Industrial Revolution, also includes an asset-stripping plan never seen and experienced before in human history. Assets of covid mandates-caused bankruptcies are sucked upwards into the vaults of the financial oligarchs and the Dark Invisible Financial Cabal – which is funding and orchestrating the WEF and which is in control of over 90% of the world’s mainstream media.

    The Agenda 2030 (originally called Agenda 21) was prepared by a very long hand, dating back 60 to a hundred years. Be aware, the Dark Invisible Financial Cabal acts as a cult. In order to be successful, it has to tell the people what it is up to.

    Indeed, over the past several decades we have received many warnings of what to expect – namely a Health Tyranny, enhanced by a fake Global Warming and Biodiversity Green agenda.

    The New Green is a fascist neoliberal, make-believe environmental protection farse. In reality – far from environmental protection. To the contrary. Yet, people throughout the world fall for it. Propaganda is deadly. We have to stop it.

    The Plan’s execution started in January 2020. First with a fake disease called Covid-19 – the mortality of which is about the same or less than that of the common flu, some 0.03% to 0.07%. And unbelievably – the Covid-19 pandemic – hit all 193 UN member countries at once, on the same day. The vast majority of the people believed it.

    However, an intense media-driven fear campaign, with strictly totalitarian-enforced mandates of lockdowns and face masking, distancing people from each other, lowering their morale even further, i.e. their self-esteem, their defenses, insecurity, dictatorial measures, led to world tyranny.

    It sounds like a project collaborated by the Tavistock Institute on Social Engineering of the Masses. (See also Daniel Estulin’s book of the same title).

    Tavistock in close collaboration with DARPA, the secretive Pentagon think tank, specializes in mind-control, MK-Ultra, and societal manipulation through the mass media and often deadly false flag events.

    The Global West has quietly suspended in most countries their Constitutions, either by silent decree or by Parliamentary votes, where Parliamentarians were co-opted to be part of the crime. But the vast majority of the population has no idea.

    They still refer to democracy — when “democracy” we never had in the last 2000 years and beyond.

    And just to be sure that we all understand what the Greek term “democracy” really meant – supposedly born in Delphi, Greece, some 800 years BC and first practiced in ancient Athens 507 years BC by Athenian leader Cleisthenes. It meant one person one vote – but only for educated males, who were qualified for sociopolitical decisions.

    Just a word on our sloganized and vastly over-used term democracy.

    This is what Google has to say:

    Athenian democracy was a system of government where all [free] male citizens [age 20 and above] [slaves excluded] could attend and participate in the assembly which governed the city-state. This was a democratic form of government where the people or ‘demos’ had real political power. Athens, therefore, had a direct democracy.

    You may want to make a note of it before using the misleading term “democracy” freely again. Let’s first see what we mean by “democracy” and how we have learned to manipulate it for the service of the powerful.

    This brief observation on democracy may be important if ever we get back to “democracy” in a new society.

    Let’s make sure that the term is defined clearly in every Constitution of every sovereign country.

    Back to excess deaths.

    What can we do?

    For most of the vaxxed population, it’s too late.

    They can just hope that their shot was not deadly, or that it may have been a placebo. In every trial – which this entire vaxx crime was and is – there are placebos.

    We should inform as many people as we can of these horrendous circumstances – of the excess deaths and of the whys – so that people wake up and do not get drawn into vaxxing anymore, and so that they help others wake up.

    We should initiate criminal procedures against all governments who knowingly participated in this crime, especially the Health Ministers and the management of WHO, the UN system, the WEF — and the eugenist oligarch suspects we all know.

    And indeed, get to the bottom of the Cabal.

    A Grand Jury trial has already determined the guilty – with evidence statements by witnesses from the key organizations behind this magnum crime. See all the sub-links in the “Stop World Control” video below.

    We must immediately stop and resist any activity linked to the infamous UN Agenda 2030 and the WEF’s Great Reset; derail with all means we have at our disposal the 4th Industrial Revolution’s digitization process, starting with undoing any advances that have been made with digital money, body-implanted chips – whose purpose it is to enslave humanity – and on a wider score to transhumanize humanity.

    We must stop this monstrous crime of biblical proportions NOW.

    In short, we should prepare for a massive Nuremberg 2.0.

    Without delay.

    See this Must-See 31-min video on THE PLAN with several links to related videos, including the one of the Grand Jury and its results – plus large-print easily understandable, down-to-earth text, explaining what we are living and how we can get out of it.

    Here, are some key quotes from the Stop World Control text:

    “The Tyranny is 100% dependent on the ignorance of the public. The solution is, therefore, to inform the people around us.”

    “Once People know what is really happening, they will stop complying and will start resisting.”

    “We offer you a powerful tool to open the eyes of your friends, family, and community.”

    “High-level experts from the WHO, United Nations, US & UK Military, British Secret Services, CDC, Pfizer, and the UK Government reveal the evidence that the pandemic is used to install a world dictatorship.”

    “They presented their evidence to the world during Grand Jury proceedings with 11 international lawyers and a judge.”

    “The experts identify the powerful entities that are able to install this powerful dictatorship.

    “They explain how they orchestrate and implement it, and what their ultimate agenda is for humanity.”

    “The supreme level of brainwashing is when an entire population calls human history a conspiracy theory.”

  • N.J. custodian allegedly put bleach, feces, and other bodily fluids into food at school

    VINELAND, N.J. (TCD) — A 25-year-old man was arrested on multiple charges for allegedly putting some of his own bodily fluids and bleach into food at the school where he worked, as well as possessing child pornography.

    According to the Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office, on Oct. 30, New Jersey State Police received a call from officials at Elizabeth Moore School because administrators received anonymous photos and videos that Giovanni Impellizzari was “performing sexual acts with inanimate objects at the school.”

    The statement says Impellizzari allegedly “tampered with or otherwise contaminated food products and utensils located within the school cafeteria with bleach and personal bodily fluids (including saliva, urine, and feces) that were allegedly offered for consumption to school students and/or staff.”

    He also allegedly “subjected items located at another area within the school to personal bodily fluids.”

    The district attorney’s office said officials were working to collect samples of Impellizzari’s fluids in order to see if there are “potential for infectious disease transmission to those who consumed food at the school.”

    Impellizzari worked had been working for the school district as a custodian since 2019.

    He was arrested Oct. 31 on charges of third-degree aggravated assault, two counts of tampering with food products, third-degree endangering the welfare of a child, and third-degree attempted endangering the welfare of a child. On Nov. 2, he was also charged with official misconduct. The Cumberland County prosecutor’s office said Nov. 8 that Impellizzari was additionally charged with distribution of child pornography and possession of child pornography.

    The child pornography-related charges stem from allegations that he possessed and/or distributed material, but did not make it.

    According to NJ.com, Impellizzari allegedly recorded himself defecating in taco meat, urinating in bowls, and bleaching food, then shared those videos to a private messaging app. He allegedly rubbed bread on his genitals as well.

    NJ.com reports Impellizzari allegedly posted about the taco meat in the group, and someone told him to update the chat if anyone got sick. He reportedly responded, “I sure hope so. That’s the plan.”

    In another post about the bleach, he allegedly wrote, “Honestly, I’ve put bleach in their food before. They were fine. Just a little sick. Oh well, not my problem.”

    His defense attorney Emily Bell reportedly argued he needed mental health treatment rather than being jailed.

    Bell said, “This guy’s going off the rails. He’s screaming for help.”

    Judge Cristen D’Arrigo denied Bell’s request for pretrial release, saying, “The fact that he specifically indicates that that was his objective, to make them sick, demonstrates how much of a risk he is to the community at large if released.”

  • Bill Gates Caught Planning ‘Mass Casualty Event’ That Will Kill Millions

    Bill Gates caught planning mass casualty event

    Bill Gates is planning to kill off millions of young people via a dangerous new vaccine he plans to rollout across multiple third-world nations.

    Gates is funding a campaign to inject 80 million young girls with an experimental human papillomavirus (HPV) jab.

    The scheme is being funded by two of the Microsoft co-founder’s organizations – the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

    While announcing more than $600 million in investment in the campaign, Gavi bragged that the initiative will avert “over 1.4 million future deaths.”

    NN reports: Gavi claims that the $600M from Gates’s organizations will help to reach its goal of vaccinating 86 million girls in “low- and middle-income countries” by 2025.

    As we’ve seen before from Gates-funded projects, targeting people in “low- and middle-income countries” usually refers to the impoverished citizens of third-world nations being used as guinea pigs ahead of a global rollout of the plan.

    The Gates Foundation co-founded Gavi and is one of its four permanent board members.

    UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund), the World Bank, and the World Health Organization (WHO) — whose second-largest donor is Gates — hold the other permanent seats.

    Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Clinton Health Access Initiative also sits on the board.

    James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D., a critic of the global HPV vaccine campaign, suggested mass vaccination will cause a devastating number of serious side effects among young girls.

    The injections will be rolled out even though there are still no studies showing the HPV vaccine prevents cancer.

    Despite the lack of scientific evidence, vaccine makers and public health officials still claim the shots are “safe and effective.”

    Lyons-Weiler, head of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge, told The Defender:

    In 2009, we were told the Severe Adverse Event [SAE] rate of HPV vaccines was 6.5%.

    But a study we published in Science, Public Health Policy & The Law showed that the adverse events profile of the HPV vaccine is far worse than has been reported.

    Unleashing this vaccine on millions of girls and young women will lead to a mass casualty event these countries do not now have, and do not need.

    SAE’s will occur at the rate of 65,000 per million women vaccinated, and the claimed net benefits of the vaccine are just not there.

    Earlier this month, Nigeria became the latest country in Africa to promote HPV vaccines.

    The nation has introduced the vaccine into its routine immunization program.

    The government also announced an initial drive to vaccinate 7.7 million girls.

    The plan will reach the largest number of people yet in a single round of HPV vaccination in Africa.

    Gavi said Nigeria’s initiative would kick off with a five-day mass vaccination drive in schools and communities in 16 of Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

    Phase 2 of the campaign will launch in the rest of the country in May 2024.

    UNICEF, Gavi, the WHO, and other “unnamed partners” are providing financial support so Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Health can offer the vaccines at no charge across the country.

    Gavi is co-financing vaccine purchases and providing technical support.

    As part of the scheme, the WHO paid to train workers and set up vaccination sites.

    UNICEF is providing 15 million vaccines, infrastructure for cold storage, and logistical support.

    The United Nations agency is also running radio and TV ads “in multiple local languages to dispel misinformation and rumors,” the press release said.

    The partners trained over 35,000 health workers to deliver the vaccines at 4,163 sites across the 16 states participating in phase one of the rollout.

    They vowed “to ensure no eligible girl is left behind.”

    Mobile vaccination units will be sent to remote communities.

    “Gavi-supported vaccine introductions” for the HPV vaccine have been hindered by global supply shortages, the press release said.

    However, those supply issues are being overcome “thanks to years of market-shaping efforts to develop a more robust vaccine market.”

    HPV Gardasil vaccine producer Merck has invested heavily in shaping the market since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the drug in 2006.

    Last week, the pharmaceutical giant announced that its 2023 third-quarter Gardasil sales grew 13% to $2.6 billion.

    Merck is one of Gavi’s key partners in distributing vaccines in “low- and middle-income countries” worldwide.

    The vaccine rollout in Nigeria comes on the heels of a similar Gavi-led national HPV campaign launched in Indonesia in August.

    The scheme, which is also supported by UNICEF, the WHO, and the Clinton Health Access Initiative, seeks to add the HPV vaccine to Indonesia’s routine schedule.

    The initiative aims to vaccinate 90% of girls there.

    Bangladesh also launched a similar national HPV vaccine rollout in October.

    The country is aiming for 100% coverage.

    Zambia, meanwhile, launched the same initiative in September, vaccinating 1.42 million girls ages 9-14 in six days.

    Sierra Leone introduced the vaccine into its routine vaccination program in October and Eritrea launched a nationwide vaccine program in November 2022.

    These programs are part of a 2020 program initiated by the WHO’s World Health Assembly to eradicate cervical cancer as a public health problem worldwide.

    While the globalist organizations present themselves as being independent, Gavi, the WHO, and UNICEF are interconnected in several ways.

    Gavi is a public-private partnership launched in 1999 at a World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting.

    According to its own data, Gavi has vaccinated 1 billion children since then, by employing “innovative finance and the latest technology.”

    Gavi has long been criticized for placing too much emphasis on novel vaccines developed by its pharmaceutical partners rather than ensuring that basic vaccination is carried out, for being largely “top-down” and for subsidizing Big Pharma through questionable contracts and incentives.

    Yet, Gavi insists its efforts are all in the name of “saving children’s lives,” according to scholar Anne-Emanuelle Birn, Sc.D.

    The Gates Foundation maintains a heavy hand in directing Gavi.

    Although as a “public-private partnership” its private donor list includes upwards of 50 individual corporations, most of them have donated only between $200,000 and a few million dollars to Gavi.

    The Gates Foundation has donated $4.1 billion to date.

    In addition to the seats held by the Gates Foundation, the WHO, UNICEF, and the Clinton Health Access Initiative, board members include representatives from donor countries — of which the U.S. is the largest donor — and countries targeted by Gavi’s interventions.

    Industry representatives include Andrew Otoo, who holds a doctorate in pharmacy, formerly of Pfizer and now representing Merck, and Sai Prasad of Bharat Biotech.

    Several “independent individuals” drawn from global finance and government also sit on the board, along with one representative of civil society organizations.

    Gavi has been distributing the HPV vaccine in Africa since 2011 when it financed Rwanda’s program to be the first African nation to implement a national HPV vaccine program aimed at girls under age 15.

    Today it purports to have 90% coverage for girls in Rwanda.

    Although Gavi’s logo, not the Gates Foundation’s, appears on the HPV promotional literature and press releases, researchers have argued that Gates’ substantial funding for Gavi and the WHO, and the foundation’s research grantmaking give it outsized power to drive global and local health priorities and spending.

    In September, the Gates Foundation awarded a nearly $2 million, five-month grant to the Sydani Group in Nigeria, which is providing technical assistance for Phase 1 of Nigeria’s vaccine rollout.

    The foundation also funded the HPV trials in low- and middle-income countries such as India and Kenya that justify mass vaccination and that are used to make dose recommendations, some of which have ended in scandal.

    The campaign to eradicate cervical cancer is reminiscent of the Gates Foundation’s previous campaign, also initiated by the WHO and supported by Gavi, UNICEF, and others, to eradicate polio.

    That campaign eventually faltered and also led to “a massive outbreak of vaccine-derived infections” that “engulfs much of Africa,” the BMJ reported.

    By the end of 2020, Gavi funded the introduction of the HPV vaccine in 13 African countries.

    Now, it is behind the new round of rollouts.

    “I am deeply disturbed by continuing Big Pharma/GAVI/WHO attacks on African people, at the tip of blatantly unnecessary, dangerous and expensive injections,” Shabnam Palesa Mohamed of Children’s Health Defense Africa told The Defender.

    “It is critical that we strengthen our efforts to raise awareness in Africa about Big Pharma crimes and informed consent.”

    But, she added, there is a lot of resistance to this program by African people.

    “African countries fulfilled an important role in rejecting most dystopian amendments to the International Health Regulations at the WHO’s World Health Assembly 75 last year.”

    According to Gavi, nearly 80-90% percent of the approximately 300,000 deaths per year from cervical cancer — the fourth most common cancer among women — occur in low- and middle-income countries, and the majority occur in sub-Saharan Africa.

    About 8,000 Nigerian women die per year from cervical cancer in Nigeria, Muhammad Ali Pate, the coordinating minister of Health & Social Welfare, said.

    The higher rates are largely attributed to low screening coverage for cervical cancer and limited treatment options in the region, although actual numbers vary widely from country to country.

    The HPV virus can lead to cervical cancer, but the vast majority of infections clear on their own.

    There are more than 150 strains of HPV.

    High-risk HPV types can cause cervical cell abnormalities that are precursors to cancer, although HPV infection is not the sole risk factor for cervical cancer.

    Regular pap screening has been found to reduce the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer among women by at least 80%.

    But Gavi argues, “Cervical cancer is almost entirely vaccine-preventable, which means that alongside screening for early detection, rolling out the HPV vaccine is critical to preventing infections.”

    Public health officials like Dr. Diane Harper from the University of Michigan’s Department of Family Medicine celebrate Gavi’s strategy.

    Harper told The Defender, “Nigeria is making awesome strides in eliminating the risk of cervical cancer in its population by vaccinating its girls.”

    Lyons-Weiler disagreed:

    “First, the studies never showed that HPV vaccines reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.

    “Instead, they showed the HPV vaccines reduce the prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, a precondition sometimes associated with cervical cancer, associated with HPV-vaccine targeted HPVs.

    “The second important point, and this is directly related to the first, is that the biomedical research literature is filled with studies that show that HPV vaccination programs have actually caused the replacement of the previously most common types of HPVs with rarer types of HPVs that also cause cancer.

    “This is known as HPV-type replacement.

    “Rarer types of HPVs can be less common because they are more deadly.

    “So this means that HPV vaccine programs should lead to an increase in cervical cancer rates even in fully vaccinated populations, involving more aggressive cancers at an earlier age.”

    Studying HPV vaccine efficacy for eliminating cervical cancer is challenging due to the length of time between infections, the development of cancer (mean time 23.5 years), lack of adequate informed consent, the complexity between HPV infection and cervical cancer, and the negative impact of girls’ sexual behavior, which may worsen the risks of cervical cancer.

    The Gardasil vaccine has been linked to myriad adverse events, however.

    Some of the signature impacts observed following HPV vaccination include permanently disabling autoimmune and neurological conditions such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, fibromyalgia, and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.

    There have been thousands of reports of adverse events worldwide.

    Peer-reviewed scientific literature from the U.S., Australia, Denmark, Sweden, France, and Japan, and statistics published by public health agencies in each of these countries demonstrate plausible associations between HPV vaccination and autoimmune conditions.

    Merck keeps a database of such reported adverse events but does not make that information public.

    A North Carolina district judge ordered Merck to turn over all of its Gardasil adverse events databases to plaintiffs suing the pharmaceutical giant for injuries allegedly caused by the vaccine.

    The federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid out more than $70 million to people making claims regarding Gardasil for injuries.

    There are currently about 80 cases pending against Merck for vaccine injuries in federal court in the U.S.

    Michael Baum, senior partner at Wisner Baum and the attorney representing vaccine-injured plaintiffs in several lawsuits against Merck, told The Defender that the data on HPV vaccine injuries in the U.S. raises serious concerns about Nigeria’s mass vaccination program:

    “U.S. data makes it clear that vaccinating millions of Nigerian girls with Gardasil will cause a staggering number of serious adverse events, including death.

    “Before COVID, Gardasil had more adverse event reports in the U.S. than any other vaccine.

    “We know it is dangerous, and on top of that, its efficacy in preventing cervical cancer has never truly been established.

    “There is not a single study that shows Gardasil can prevent cervical cancer because Merck’s studies were not designed to establish that claim. Nevertheless, Merck markets Gardasil around the world as a ‘cervical cancer vaccine.’

    “If the company were interested in backing up this claim, it would have conducted long-term studies by now.

    “But it hasn’t. I believe the sad truth is Merck cares more about profit than it does people.”

    According to an article in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, most “low- to middle-income countries” have very low reporting rates for adverse events associated with vaccines or other pharmaceutical products.

    This lack of reporting makes it difficult to know how many adverse events have been associated with the rollouts that have happened so far.

    Lyons-Weiler warns that resources now going into vaccination should instead go toward cervical cancer screening, which for most people is a curative diagnostic.

    “Early detection is key, and delaying screening because one feels protected due to the misleading narrative over HPV vaccines protecting against cervical cancer will lead to increased cases of late-stage cancer, and deaths,” he said.

    Harper also supported screenings, but also strongly supported the vaccines.

    “It is not a question of investing only in vaccination or only in screening,” Harper notes.

    “Both are necessary. Compromises in the amount of finite money allocated to each will be necessary, but both are necessary.”

    Kim Mack Rosenberg, CHD acting general counsel and co-author of “The HPV Vaccine on Trial” raised serious concerns about the scheme:

    “Having studied the HPV vaccines in depth for several years, I am profoundly concerned about Nigeria’s mass vaccination campaign. Instead of vaccinating millions of girls, steps should be taken to reduce risk factors that may contribute to cervical cancer, including early pregnancy and multiple pregnancies, poor nutrition and poor nutritional status, lack of access to clean cooking fuels, and others.

    “Moreover, there have been so many innovations in cervical cancer screening that now enable doctors and others to more easily screen, even in rural areas.”

    In the U.S., the current HPV vaccination schedule recommended by the CDC is two doses of Merck’s Gardasil 9 vaccine for children ages 9-14 and three for those ages 15 and up.

    Gardasil 9, which protects against 9 HPV strains, is the only HPV vaccine distributed in the U.S.

    Nigeria’s vaccine advisory committee in 2021 recommended Gardasil’s quadrivalent HPV vaccine for use in Nigeria, which protects against four strains.

    When the vaccine first came on the market, the WHO recommended a three-dose course of any version of the vaccine — but in 2014, it changed its recommendation to two doses as part of routine vaccination.

    Last year, the WHO announced that “a single-dose Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine delivers solid protection against HPV,” and it changed its recommendations again to “a one or two dose schedule” for girls and women ages 9 and up, based on “evidence emerging over past years,” but without any citations.

    But most of the press releases celebrated the single-dose recommendation as “less costly, less resource intensive and easier to administer,” predicting that it would be a “game-changer,” adding that “a single-dose recommendation has the potential to take us faster to our goal of having 90 percent of girls vaccinated by the age of 15 by 2030.”

    Lyons-Weiler said the language around dosing was “absolutely misleading,” because the shift to “one or two doses” doesn’t actually make a shift from the recommended two-dose schedule, but might make it easier to get buy-in to the program by skeptics.

  • BREAKING: Articles of Impeachment filed against Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel

    On Thursday, Michigan lawmakers following the lead of Republican State Rep. James DeSana introduced articles of impeachment today in a House resolution co-sponsored by Neil Friske (R- 107th District), Joseph Fox (R- 101st District), Rachelle Smit (R-43rd District), Matt Maddock (R-51st District), Steve Carra (R-36th District), Josh Schriver (R-66th District), Angela Rigas (R-79th District).

    “The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching civil officers for corrupt conduct in office. Attorney General Nessel has clearly breached the ethical standards of conduct of the office of attorney general,” said DeSana.

    Representative DeSana introduced three articles of impeachment in his resolution.

    Included in their resolution are three articles:

    Article I states that Nessel violated her Constitutional Oath of office by failing to faithfully discharge the duties of her office by failing to charge any of the individuals responsible for forging and filing fraudulent voter registrations in Muskegon.

    Article I outlines how MI AG Dana Nessel failed to satisfy her duties and abused her position as Attorney General. She has failed to charge individuals responsible for “clearly fraudulent” voter registration applications uncovered in a joint investigation involving her office in October 2020.

    Not only did AG Nessel and SOS Benson fail to mention the statewide investigation into voter registration fraud, but no charges were filed against those involved despite the conclusion of SOS Investigator Corey Ames and the Muskegon Police Department detective, as detailed in the MSP report, that at least 18 of the sampled registration applications were “clearly fraudulent.”

    The Gateway Pundit uncovered an alleged fraudulent voter registration ring, including “disturbing items found inside rented office space in Southfield, MI,  that was used by GBI Strategies (allegedly owned and operated at the time by Gary Bell). Inside the room were burner phones, pre-paid and reloadable cards used to pay employees, semi-automatic rifles with suppressors, and modified pistols. On a whiteboard in the room where the guns were found, the heading ‘Hot Topics’ appeared. Under the heading, the words ;weapons in the field, prepared for shifts’ were found.”

    Police officers found guns, silencers, pre-paid cash cards, and burner phones in the GBI Strategies office.

    Article II alleges “malfeasance of office and malicious prosecution of the 16 Michigan Republican Electors.”

    The second article refers to AG Nessel charging 16 MI GOP electors who cast an alternate slate of electoral votes for President Trump in 2020 with 8 felonies each. All but two of the electors are senior citizens, and many live on fixed incomes. After the DOJ refused to take the case against the electors, and the Ingham County Prosecutor called her case against them “weak,” AG Dana Nessel plowed through with her plans to charge her political enemies with charges that if she were successful in proving, would amount to life sentences for many of them.

    From the Resolution to Impeach Dana Nessel:

    She has also filed felony charges against 16 individuals who signed a “Certificate of the Votes of the 2020 Electors from Michigan” and purported to cast ballots as Electors for the Republican nominees for President and Vice President when her own statements indicate that the specific intent element of the crimes charged, the intent to defraud, cannot be proven; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives that, Dana M. Nessel, Attorney General of the state of Michigan, is impeached for corrupt conduct in office. The following Articles of Impeachment are adopted by the House of Representatives and shall be exhibited to the Senate.

    On July 18, 2023, when AG Nessel announced the charges against the 16 MI GOP alternate electors, she made clear the crux of her case was based on the fact that the electors knew Trump had lost the election by the time they cast their alternate slate of electoral votes for him, but they did it anyhow.

    However, AG Nessel appeared as a guest at a liberal online event on September 22, where she refuted her own allegations against the voters entirely. Nessel naively responded, when queried about the Michigan GOP electors against whom she is jointly charged with eight felonies, that they were certain President Trump had won the 2020 election.”They legitimately believe that,” she further stated, adding that “Ingham County, where Lansing is situated, is an extremely, extremely liberal county,” implying that the Republican electors would be unable to obtain a fair trial. In essence, she conceded that the electors’ chances of winning their case would be exceedingly slim due to the “extremely, extremely liberal district” in which she elected to have them tried.

    Steve Bannon, Newt Gingrich, Hollywood producer and actor Nick Searcy, former Arizona governor candidate Kari Lake, and Trump attorney John Eastman were among the prominent conservative figures who participated in the Save the Electors Telethon. To date, the campaign has generated slightly less than $156,000 on a GiveSendGo account, which is currently being investigated by the same lawless attorney general who charged each elector with eight felonies. The funds are being distributed in an equitable manner among the legal representatives of 15 out of the 16 voters who are financing their own defense.

    Former Trump attorney John Eastman, who is additionally charged with defending President Trump, explains why it is critical that Americans do not capitulate to the far left, which is threatening and intimidating conservatives into speaking out against a tyrannical government through the use of legal tactics.

    Eastman cautioned during his appearance on the Save the Electors Telethon that Democrats, including Attorney General Nessel, are directing their efforts at middle-class individuals, threatening to destroy their financial stability and life savings if they dare to question the outcome of one of the most contentious elections in American history.

    Article III pertains to allegations of corruption about closing a criminal case. It follows below:

    On July 13, 2022, in an article published in The Detroit News, it was alleged that Traci Kornak, the legal guardian of an individual living at an assisted living facility, had improperly billed an insurance company for care provided to her ward. Joe LeBlanc, now-former chief executive of the facility known as The Village of Heather Hills, alleged that Kornak had used the facility’s taxpayer identification number and federal employer identification number without their permission, and that she falsely indicated that the individual providing these services – later revealed to be Kornak’s daughter – was an employee of the facility. The article stated that, over the course of two years, Kornak billed the insurance company nearly 50,000 dollars for this care.

    Attorney General Dana M. Nessel immediately expressed interest in this article, asking members of her staff whether this was something they should investigate and requesting that they keep her updated on the matter. In response to Nessel’s interest, the Financial Crimes Section of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Department of Attorney General began an investigation into Kornak.

    During this investigation, Scott Teter, Division Chief of the Financial Crimes Division, became concerned about a conflict of interest presented by the past professional relationship between Nessel and Kornak. In 2018, Kornak assisted with Nessel’s transition into office after she was elected Attorney General. Teter believed that “it would create the appearance of impropriety for AG Nessel to access information about this investigation.” “Specifically, if the Department of Attorney General declined to seek charges against the suspect, it might appear that the professional relationship between Attorney General Nessel and Traci Kornak had influenced the investigation.” Therefore, he asked “for a conflict wall to be established preventing Attorney General Nessel from being provided or accessing any information related to this investigation.” The notice establishing this conflict wall was distributed to all staff members in the Department of Attorney General on September 7, 2022.

    As of December 2022, this conflict wall was still active. In a December 2 email, employees were reminded to “[e]xclude Attorney General Dana Nessel from access to the . . . files in this matter.” On December 5, employees assigned to the case discussed closing the case, but an employee was still reviewing the matter. That same day, however, Aubrey Sargent, Chief of Investigations of the Criminal Investigations Division, emailed four reports on the Kornak case to Attorney General Nessel, in seeming disregard of the conflict wall.

    On December 6, Attorney General Nessel emailed Sargent and Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud about this case. Nessel stated that Kornak had contacted her seeking the documents from the investigation, because the allegations against her were holding up a potential judicial appointment for Kornak in Kent County. Nessel communicated her belief that Kornak “wants to be able to assert that the claims made . . . were never substantiated by our investigation and the case is closed.” Nessel also wrote: “There is some urgency to the matter in that she needs to supply this information by the week’s end.” The following day, Nessel forwarded the reports on the Kornak investigation to Chief Deputy Attorney General Christina Grossi.

    While closing this investigation was being considered by members of the Department of Attorney General’s staff in late September 2022 and was discussed again on December 2, the investigation was not formally closed until at least December 19, when the staff member assigned to the matter wrote a memorandum where he “recommend[ed] closing this investigation.” This phrasing indicates that the investigation was officially still open before that date. Thus, the investigation was closed well after the Attorney General had communicated with staff on the case about Kornak’s urgent interest in being able to report that the investigation had been closed. There is no way to know what influence this had on the staff member’s December 19 recommendation to close the investigation.

    Attorney General Nessel created at least the appearance of impropriety by communicating with staff members involved in the investigation of Kornak, Nessel’s former associate, before the investigation was formally closed. Regardless of whether Nessel’s actions breached the particular terms of the conflict wall, she should not have contacted staff members assigned to the matter in order to communicate Kornak’s interest in having the investigation closed quickly so that she could secure a judicial appointment. Writing that “[t]here is some urgency to the matter” could have put pressure on Nessel’s employees to close the file quickly, without further review.

    Wherefore, Dana M. Nessel, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.; and be it furtherResolved, That in accordance with Article XI, Section 7 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, the House of Representatives will proceed with the election of three members from its own body whose duty it shall be to prosecute such impeachment and that these members are authorized and empowered to prepare and present the Articles of Impeachment adopted by this resolution.

  • Texas couple arrested after 4-year-old with signs of long-term abuse dies at motel

    ALVIN, Texas (TCD) — Police have arrested the parents of a 4-year-old child who died in April and appeared to have “signs of long-term abuse.”

    On April 29, the Alvin Police Department responded to a local emergency room in reference to an unresponsive young girl who had been brought in by her mother, 26-year-old De’Jane Belle. The little girl was already deceased by the time officers arrived. Police said the victim’s father, 27-year-old Drayon Donahue, initially said their daughter fell while playing with her siblings in the courtyard of the motel where they lived.

    Further investigation revealed the parents allegedly “took measures to alter evidence at the scene.” Police said they observed signs of long-term abuse. They called the investigation “lengthy and complex as detectives have pieced together the facts.”

    The Medical Examiner ruled the victim’s death a homicide.

    Officials removed the couple’s three other children during the investigation.

    A jury indicted the parents on two counts of tampering with evidence, and their bonds were set at $50,000 for each count. They were arrested from their home on Thursday, Nov. 9.

    At the time of their arrest, Children’s Protective Services removed the couple’s newborn child.

    Additional felony charges against the parents are pending.

    Emails Show Surgeon General and Facebook Coordinating Covid Censorship

    We received 14 pages of emails between U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and top Facebook executives in 2021 regarding the censorship of user posts about Covid controversies. The emails show Facebook leadership seeking to “better understand the scope of what the White House expects from us on misinformation going forward.”

    These emails confirm that Facebook censored Americans at the direction of the Biden White House and Biden’s Surgeon General’s political operation. This is a massive violation of the First Amendment.

    We received these emails in response to our January 13, 2023, FOIA lawsuit (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (No. 1:23-cv-00113)) for:

    All records, including, but not limited to, electronic mail, texts, memoranda, and handwritten notes, of, regarding, referring, or relating to any efforts of Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy, MD, MBA, U.S. Surgeon General, to contact any employee of Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, Tumblr, and Pinterest concerning COVID-19 or COVID-19 vaccines.

    On July 15, 2021, Murthy issued “Confronting Health Misinformation,” a 22-page document addressing his concerns in multiple areas. These included social media, for which it offered a number of suggestions to address misinformation:

    [M]ake meaningful long-term investments … including product changes. Redesign recommendation algorithms to avoid amplifying misinformation, build in “frictions”—such as suggestions and warnings—to reduce the sharing of misinformation, and make it easier for users to report misinformation.

    ***

    Platforms should also address misinformation in live streams, which are more difficult to moderate due to their temporary nature and use of audio and video.

    ***

    Prioritize early detection of misinformation “super-spreaders” and repeat offenders. Impose clear consequences for accounts that repeatedly violate platform policies.

    ***

    Amplify communications from trusted messengers and subject matter experts. For example, work with health and medical professionals to reach target audiences. Direct users to a broader range of credible sources, including community organizations.

    The newly obtained records show that on July 16, 2021, the next day, Nick Clegg, vice president of Communications and Global Affairs at Facebook, emails Murthy:

    Dear Vivek,

    Reaching out after what has transpired over the past few days following the publication of the misinformation advisory, and culminating today in the President’s remarks about us. I know our teams met today to better understand the scope of what the White House expects from us on misinformation going forward.

    In our previous conversations I’ve appreciated the way you and your team have approached our engagement, and we have worked hard to meet the moment – we’ve dedicated enormous time and resources to fighting this pandemic and consider ourselves to be partners in fighting the same battle. Certainly we understand (and have understood for some time) that there is disagreement on some of the policies governing our approach and how they are being enforced – even as your team has acknowledged the unprecedented scale of our efforts to provide authoritative information to millions of Americans and to help them get vaccinated. But I thought the way we were singled out over the past few days has been both surprising and misleading, and I believe unproductive to our joint efforts too. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak directly to discuss a path forward with you and how we can continue to work toward what I sincerely believe are shared goals.

    Murthy responds on July 19:

    Thanks for reaching out and for sharing your concerns. I know the last few days have been challenging. I’d be happy to speak directly about how we move forward. Let me know the best way to schedule some time later this week and we’ll make it happen.

    On July 23, Brian Rice, director of public policy for Facebook, emails Clegg and Murthy:

    Including this week’s updated report here. Look forward to scheduling our next working session. As always please let us know if you have any questions.

    Also on July 23, Clegg writes to Murthy:

    Dear Vivek (if I may),

    Thanks again for taking the time to meet earlier today. It was very helpful to take stock after the past week and hear directly from you and your team, and to establish our next steps.

    We talked about the speed at which we are all having to iterate as the pandemic progresses. I wanted to make sure you saw the steps we took just this past week to adjust policies on what we are removing with respect to misinformation, as well as steps taken to further address the “disinfo dozen”: we removed 17 additional Pages, Groups, and Instagram accounts tied to the disinfo dozen (so a total of 39 Profiles, Pages, Groups, and IG accounts deleted thus far, resulting in every member of the disinfo dozen having had at least one such entity removed).

    We are also continuing to make 4 other Pages and Profiles, which have not yet met their removal thresholds, more difficult to find on our platform. We also expanded the group of false claims that we remove, to keep up with recent trends of misinformation that we are seeing.

    We hear your call for us to do more and, as I said on the call, we’re committed to working toward our shared goal of helping America get on top of this pandemic. We will reach out directly to DJ to schedule the deeper dive on how to best measure Covid related content and how to proceed with respect to the question around data. We’d also like to begin a regular cadence of meetings with your team so that we can continue to update you on our progress. You have identified 4 specific recommendations for improvement and we want to make sure to keep you informed of our work on each.

    I want to again stress how critical it is that we establish criteria for measuring what’s happening on an industry-wide basis, not least to reflect the way platforms are used interchangeably by users themselves. We believe that we have provided more transparency, both through CrowdTangle (the flaws of which we discussed in some detail) and through our Top 100 report, than others and that any further analysis should include a comprehensive look at what’s happening across all platforms–ours and others – if we are going to make progress in a consistent and sustained manner.

    Finally, we will be sending you the latest version of our Top 100 report later today, per our regular schedule. Brian will do the honors this week as it will likely be completed at our end later today East Coast time. We really do hope that we can discuss our approach to this data set in greater detail during our next session with DJ, as we genuinely believe it is an effective way of understanding what people are actually seeing on the platform.

    Once again, I want to thank you for setting such a constructive tone at the beginning of the call. We too believe that we have a strong shared interest to work together, and that we will strive to do all we can to meet our shared goals.

    On October 28, 2021, Clegg writes to Murthy with the subject line “Our announcement:”

    Dear General Murthy,

    I hope you are well. It’s been a while since we connected. I know our teams have remained in close contact with respect to our work to provide authoritative information about the vaccine and we are working on how we can partner in this next push to vaccinate children. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with your team.

    ***

    I also recognize the intense debate that’s been prompted by the documents that have been disclosed by a former employee. You and I have touched on the subject of wellbeing in our previous conversations and I know it’s an area of concern for you and for the White House. I would welcome the opportunity to meet again to hear from you and to address the claims that have been made against the company.

    This is an apparent reference to France Haugen, a pro-censorship former Facebook product manager.

    On March 3, 2022, Max Lesko, the surgeon general’s chief of staff, emails Clegg and others, “Please see the attached letter from the U.S. Surgeon General for Mark Zuckerberg.” The letter is not included in the documents Judicial Watch received. He continues by asking Clegg and Rice to let him know how he can be helpful with respect to the “Request for Information” which had been sent to the Federal Register.

    Some of the subject matter in these documents is discussed in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals case Missouri v. Biden, Murthy, et al. (No. 23-30445), which the Biden administration lost. The case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court as Murthy, et al. v. Missouri, et al. (No. 23A243).

    In April 2023, we filed two lawsuits against the U.S. Department of Justice and other federal agencies for communications between the agencies and Facebook and Twitter regarding the government’s involvement in content moderation and censorship on the social media platforms.

    In June 2023, we sued DHS for all records of communications tied to the Election Integrity Partnership. Based on representations from the EIP (see here and here), the federal government, social media companies, the EIP, the Center for Internet Security (a non-profit organization funded partly by DHS and the Defense Department) and numerous other leftist groups communicated privately via the Jira software platform developed by Atlassian.

    In February 2023, we sued the U.S. Department Homeland Security (DHS) for records showing cooperation between the Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency (CISA) and social media platforms to censor and suppress free speech.

    In January 2023 we sued the DOJ for records of communications between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and social media sites regarding foreign influence in elections, as well as the Hunter Biden laptop story.

    In September 2022, we sued the Secretary of State of the State of California for having YouTube censor a Judicial Watch election integrity video.

    In May 2022, YouTube censored a Judicial Watch video about Biden corruption and election integrity issues in the 2020 election. The video, titled “Impeach? Biden Corruption Threatens National Security,” was falsely determined to be “election misinformation” and removed by YouTube, and Judicial Watch’s YouTube account was suspended for a week. Judicial Watch continues to post its video content on its Rumble channel (

    In July 2021, we uncovered records from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which revealed that Facebook coordinated closely with the CDC to control the Covid narrative and “misinformation” and that over $3.5 million in free advertising given to the CDC by social media companies.

    In May 2021, we revealed documents showing that Iowa state officials pressured social media companies Twitter and Facebook to censor posts about the 2020 election.

    More documents on this dangerous censorship are being processed now by Judicial Watch so expect more revelations soon!

     

    Trump on Trial: Judicial Excess, Partisan Bias

    What’s happening in a New York courtroom right now against former President Trump is a flagrant abuse of power without precedent in our nation’s history. Micah Morrison, our chief investigative reporter, explains in Investigative Bulletin.

    Donald Trump took the stand Monday in New York State Attorney General Letitia James’s long running fraud litigation against the former president, a case filled with startling twists and turns.

    On September 26, one week before the civil action was set to open at trial, the judge in the case delivered a surprise ruling. Justice Arthur Engoron issued an order canceling Trump’s certification to do business in New York. The order stripped Trump of control of the iconic Trump Tower; of a family estate and golf club in Westchester County; and of 40 Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, a lucrative commercial property. At times it seems as if the entire Trump family is on trial. Trump’s two adult sons, Don Jr. and Eric, were called to the standby the prosecution last week; his daughter Ivanka is slated to testify this week.

    In her civil lawsuit, James alleged that Trump, Trump family members, and Trump Organization executives had committed fraud. Engoron agreed. Financial statements that Trump had submitted to banks and insurers to support real estate deals, wrote Engoron, “contain fraudulent valuations.” The Trump businesses would be placed in receivership “to manage the dissolution.”

    Legal experts attacked the Engoron ruling as harsh and unprecedented. “This is a version of business law capital punishment,” a Columbia Law School corporate law expert told the Washington Post. “I’m not aware of a precedent at this scale.”

    The non-jury trial opened October 2. The only issue left for trial is how big a penalty Trump will pay. James is looking for a fine upward of $250 million and Engoron himself will decide the penalty. But the deadlier blow already has been delivered with Engoron’s judicial strike against Trump businesses in New York.

    The optics of the case are hard to miss. Trump, the builder of business empires, is denuded of his empire. The frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination is brought low.

    Which is precisely what James has been promising for years. A New York City Democrat from the progressive wing of the party, James made Trump the centerpiece of her campaign to become state attorney general. She repeatedly denounced Trump as an “illegitimate president” and vowed to “shine a bright light into every corner of his real estate dealings.”

    Engoron seems largely cut from the same political cloth. A longtime Democrat, he “has ruled repeatedly against Trump in the three years he’s been presiding over James’ lawsuit,” notes the Associated Press. “He’s forced Trump to sit for a deposition, held him in contempt and fined him $110,000.” A graduate of Columbia University, Engoron once noted that he took part in “huge, sometimes boisterous, Vietnam War protests.” He has been a member of the ACLU for nearly thirty years. Trump and Engoron have sparred for weeks over a gag orderimposed on the former president.

    Trump’s lawyers argue there was “no nefarious intent” in submitting the real estate valuations at the heart of the case. Trump lawyer Christopher Kise told the court that different financial estimates often simply reflect “change in a complex, sophisticated real estate corporation.”

    Banks and insurers doing business with the Trump Organization knew exactly what they were getting into, Kise said. “Banks and insurers know that the [financial] statements are estimates.” The banks were not victims, the defense argues, saying they made money from the deals.

    In a surprise twist shortly after the trial opened, a New York appeals court temporarily halted Engoron’s order to dissolve the Trump business empire while Trump appeals the ruling. The trial was allowed to continue.

    But Trump appears resigned to his fate in Engoron’s court. Outside the courtroom, he has denounced the case as “a scam” and “a sham” and “an attempt to hurt me in an election.” Inside the courtroom, the Trump team continues to hammer away at the prosecution’s case, apparently laying the groundwork for an appeal. On the stand Monday, Trump denounced the proceedings as “very unfair” in a day of legal fireworks.

    The Democrat leanings of James and Engoron, and oversteps by Engoron, increase Trump’s odds for a successful appeal.  And then there is the larger question of the whole proceeding and its kangaroo court miasma: would this case ever have been brought against someone not named Trump?

     

    Feds Plan to Let Felons, Fraudsters Investigate Housing Discrimination

    Those who have obeyed the law might legitimately wonder at allowing those who haven’t to participate in undercover federal investigations, as our Corruption Chronicles blog suggests.

    As part of the Biden administration’s government-wide initiative to give criminals a second chance, a federal agency plans to eliminate restrictions that prevent convicted felons from conducting investigations that often lead the Department of Justice (DOJ) to take legal action. It involves fair housing testers who help federal authorities gather evidence of bias and discrimination by going undercover in housing transactions that can expose wrongdoing. Technically, housing testers play a key role in government housing probes, and they are supposed to be carefully vetted.

    Now the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) wants to remove existing criminal conviction regulations for fair housing testers to make its “programs as inclusive as possible for people with criminal records.” In a notice published in the Federal Register, the agency proposes eliminating the restrictions for Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) grantees and Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP) agencies that forbid FHIP and FHAP recipients from using fair housing testers with prior felony convictions or convictions of crimes involving fraud or perjury. Besides making HUD programs as inclusive as possible for criminals, the agency writes that the proposed rule will ensure that it can “fully investigate criminal background screening policies that are potentially discriminatory under federal civil rights laws by using testers with actual criminal backgrounds.”

    In a press release announcing the plan, HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge says “we trust fair housing testers to identify bias and discrimination in housing so we can fulfill our mission to root it out.” She continues: “Through this new rule, we can ensure people with criminal records who want to participate in this important work aren’t facing unnecessary barriers. People reentering society, and those with criminal records, deserve a fair shot at a second chance. This rule helps us get there.” The announcement also provides a link to a 2022 memorandum issued by Fudge titled “Eliminating Barriers That May Unnecessarily Prevent Individuals with Criminal Histories from Participating in HUD Programs.” In the memo, the housing secretary points out that we cannot ignore the fact that persons who have been involved with the justice system are disproportionately racial minorities, accounting for “discriminatory impact exclusions based on criminal history.”

    Even those who agree with second chances may reasonably question if convicted felons should participate in federal investigations. The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division uses information gathered by fair housing testers to enforce the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation and gender identity, disability and familial status. In cases where investigations yield evidence of a pattern or practice of illegal housing discrimination, federal prosecutors file lawsuits. Since 1992 the DOJ hasresolved 111 cases with evidence directly generated from the Fair Housing Testing Program, according to government data. It has led to the recovery of more than $15.3 million, including over $2.3 million in civil penalties and north of $13 million in other damages. “The vast majority of testing cases filed to date are based on testing evidence that involved allegations of agents misrepresenting the availability of rental units or offering different terms and conditions based on race, and/or national origin, and/or familial status,” according to the DOJ. Combating race discrimination has been a central focus of the program, the agency confirms.

    Allowing convicted criminals to participate in federal housing investigations is part of a broader push by the Biden administration to “help people who were formerly incarcerated reenter society.” In a 2022 Proclamation on Second Chance, the president reminds the nation and all government agencies that millions of Americans have a criminal record that creates significant barriers to employment, economic stability, and successful reentry into society. “Thousands of legal and regulatory restrictions prevent these individuals from accessing employment, housing, voting, education, business licensing, and other basic opportunities,” the president writes in his proclamation. “Because of these barriers, nearly 75 percent of people who were formerly incarcerated are still unemployed a year after being released.” In the document the commander in chief stresses the “racial inequities that lead to disproportionate numbers of incarcerated people of color and other underserved groups.”

     

    Happy Veterans Day!

    Judicial Watch’s anti-corruption work is the least we can do for our country compared to the risks and sacrifices taken by those who protected our Republic through military service. We all should pray for peace – but Judicial Watch will, in the meantime, fight for the truth. President Reagan’s 1985 Veterans Day remarks are well worth noting in these perilous times:

    And the living have a responsibility to remember the conditions that led to the wars in which our heroes died. Perhaps we can start by remembering this: that all of those who died for us and our country were, in one way or another, victims of a peace process that failed; victims of a decision to forget certain things; to forget, for instance, that the surest way to keep a peace going is to stay strong. Weakness, after all, is a temptation — it tempts the pugnacious to assert themselves — but strength is a declaration that cannot be misunderstood. Strength is a condition that declares actions have consequences. Strength is a prudent warning to the belligerent that aggression need not go unanswered.

    Peace fails when we forget what we stand for. It fails when we forget that our Republic is based on firm principles, principles that have real meaning, that with them, we are the last, best hope of man on Earth; without them, we’re little more than the crust of a continent. Peace also fails when we forget to bring to the bargaining table God’s first intellectual gift to man: common sense. Common sense gives us a realistic knowledge of human beings and how they think, how they live in the world, what motivates them. Common sense tells us that man has magic in him, but also clay. Common sense can tell the difference between right and wrong. Common sense forgives error, but it always recognizes it to be error first.

    We endanger the peace and confuse all issues when we obscure the truth; when we refuse to name an act for what it is; when we refuse to see the obvious and seek safety in Almighty. Peace is only maintained and won by those who have clear eyes and brave minds.

    Judicial Watch benefits from the unique experience of the veterans on our staff. And we are proud that countless veterans who, with “clear eyes and brave minds,” generously support Judicial Watch’s work. Thank you all for your service and have a wonderful Veterans Day.

     

    Until next week,
