If you thought the Zuckerberg interference in US elections was over in 2020 when Democrats pulled off a shocking victory over President Trump five days after Election Day, you would be wrong.
Zuckerbucks are back. And Democrats are now going after local elections offices around the country and pushing far-left candidates or secret sleepers to move elections in the Democrat Party’s direction.
Democrats no longer have to worry about nominating candidates who are senile or can’t string together two sentences. All they have to do is make sure they are running the elections offices and counting the ballots.
It’s nothing new. Joseph Stalin excelled in this effort.
According to its website, The U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence is a collaboration between the Center for Tech and Civic Life, the Center for Civic Design, Center for Secure and Modern Elections, the Elections Group, Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (the d.school) at Stanford University, Prototyping Systems Lab, and U.S. Digital Response.
the Alliance is a five-year, $80 million strategy funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to recruit far-left candidates to run local elections offices around the country.
The injection of private money into public election administration — or “Zuckerbucks” — is continuing in a new form, as left-leaning candidates are being recruited to run for local elections offices by an organization that receives funds from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
The U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, a project of the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), is awarding funds to counties and municipalities under the Centers for Election Excellence program. The alliance will provide $80 million over five years “to envision, support, and celebrate excellence in U.S. election administration,” according to CTCL.
CTCL poured nearly $350 million into local elections offices managing the 2020 election, with most of the funds donated to the nonprofit by Zuckerberg. The nonprofit has claimed its 2020 election grants — colloquially known as “Zuckerbucks” — were allocated without partisan preference to make voting safer amid the pandemic.
Critics of the unprecedented level of private funding injected into election administration offices in 2020 argue the grants were awarded disproportionately to boost voter participation in swing state Democratic strongholds. A House Republican investigation found that less than 1% of the funds were spent on personal protective equipment.
Following controversy surrounding the disproportionate resources funneled to Democratic jurisdictions and claims the imbalance helped sway the election in Biden’s favor, 24 states have either restricted or banned the use of private money to fund elections, while 12 counties have also restricted or banned the funds, according to the Capital Research Center.
These far-left Zuckerberg elections groups are coordinating with Big Tech, Government entities, and other liberal groups.
According to a report by an “objective and non-biased” Yahoo journalist who wrote the book “Piety & Power: Mike Pence and the Taking of the White House” there is an event this weekend in Southern Florida:
The Club for Growth, a leading conservative campaign group, will host almost all the top 2024 Republican prospects for president at a donor retreat in South Florida this weekend, except Donald Trump, according to a Republican familiar with the plans.
Newly minted candidates Nikki Haley, the former U.N. ambassador, and Vivek Ramaswamy, the pharmaceutical magnate turned conservative influencer, will headline the meeting. Top Republicans who have not declared their candidacies but are seriously eyeing bids — including making all the moves of a shadow campaign — are also expected to attend the event, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu.
The only declared candidate not attending is former President Donald Trump. Trump, who helped spark the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection with his 2020 election lies and is widely blamed for the GOP’s poor showing in the 2022 midterms, was not invited to the donor retreat, the Republican source told Yahoo News. The retreat is being held in Palm Beach, where Trump lives at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
What a nasty and ignorant journalist. Slandering President Trump by saying he “helped spark the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection with his 2020 election lies and is widely blamed for the GOP’s poor showing in the 2022 midterms”.
This tells you all you need to know about the candidates and the elites who will be in Palm Beach to support them. What a huge mistake.
For a GOP candidate to win the GOP ticket they must win over the MAGA crowd. It’s the largest political base in US history. It is responsible for setting voting records in the 2020 election.
Donald Trump spoke to Glenn Beck on Saturday: “We’re gonna end up in World War 3”, he warned.
Speaking to Glenn Beck Saturday, President Donald Trump said it is possible the Biden Regime is behind the Nord Stream bombing. “The one group it wasn’t is Russia”, Trump said.
“Well, it could have been us, and it could have been Ukraine, and it could have been some third-party country that wants to see trouble”, Trump said, refferring to the Sept. 26, 2022 attack on the Nord Stream pipeline off the coast of Danmark.”
Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh has charged that “Last June, (US) Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning.”
“The one group it wasn’t is Russia”, Trump told Beck. “This is a main source of massive income for them. They didn’t blow it up to make a point. That’s the one thing I can tell you for sure,” Trump said, adding that “everything gets blamed on Russia. These people are sick,” Trump said.
The US might have been “working in conjunction” with Ukraine to target the pipelines, the ex-president suggested, since Kiev has already asserted “total dominance” over Washington. “We’ve given them probably $150 billion, and Europe has given them almost nothing,” Trump added.
“We’re gonna end up in World War 3”, Trump warned. “This is a war that should never have happened. I used to speak to Putin about it. I got along with him well. I was tougher on Russia than anybody else. I ended their pipeline. I sanctioned them, And yet I still got along with Putin. That’s a trick,” Trump said.
“The saddest thing about this war is it never should’ve happened”, Trump said. “Now you have to get people in room and you have to knock heads, and you have to get it done. That would mean saying things to Putin and Zelensky that they’re not going to want to hear.”
“I think in such kind of issue, the United Nations definitely should have a role”, Szijjártó said. “Why? Because the United Nations has not been created as an integration for like-minded countries. The United Nations has been created to serve as a platform for countries to talk to each other, who even consider each other as enemies. …I think the UN should give framework for such kind of an investigation. I think UN could be a good platform for such an investigation.”
“When it comes to this whole challenging security environment, I do believe that UN should play a bigger role here. Because UN is basically kind of last resort, where everybody is being represented, where any kind of discussion can take place, because everybody is here. And under the UN umbrella, even enemies could and should talk to each other. So I do believe that UN should really play its role because currently this is not the case,” Szijjártó said.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has called on the United States to share information about the Nord Stream sabotage, Spokesman Wang Wenbin said last Thursday: “We hope that the US will be able to provide intelligence about the explosions on the Nord Stream, instead of withholding information.”
Adrienne Watson, spokeswoman for the National Security Council at the White House told Russian news agency TASS, that the Seymour Hersh story was “totally false and complete fiction”.
One Northern Virginia School Board, Loudoun County, attracted deserved outrage for covering up two alleged sexual assaults by a transsexual.
Now another NOVA school board is in hot water thanks to one of their members is trashing famous American military victories.
The Washington Free Beacon revealed Thursday that Abrar Omeish, a radical Democrat who voters elected to the Fairfax County School Board in 2019, said the Battle of Iwo Jima “set a record for really what human evil is capable of” and “unfortunately happened.”
The battle of Iwo Jima was arguably the most famous and critical battle in World War II between the United States and Japan. The American victory enabled fighter planes to take off from the island and escort bombers attacking mainland Japan.
A member of the Fairfax County, Va., school board raised eyebrows during a Thursday board meeting when she said Iwo Jima, a major U.S. military victory against the Japanese in World War II, was “evil” and should not have happened.
Abrar Omeish, who was elected to the school board in 2019, said Iwo Jima “unfortunately happened” and “set a record for really what, I hate to say, human evil is capable of.”.
Omeish in her Thursday comments made reference to the Day of Remembrance, a Feb. 19 day of observance for the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II that occurs on the same calendar day as the first U.S. landings on the island of Iwo Jima in 1945.
“Just a few days ago was Japanese Day of Remembrance,” Omeish said. “Something for us to certainly reflect on … the days when, you know, Iwo Jima unfortunately happened and set a record for really what, I hate to say, human evil is capable of.”
She did not explain why in her comments at the meeting she said Iwo Jima was evil and “unfortunately happened.”
Omeish has attracted controversy for her comments in the past. The Free Beacon in May 2021 reported on a series of anti-Israel social media posts the school board member made, in which she called Israel an “apartheid” state that “kills Palestinians.”
The Fairfax County School Board elections take place this November . It is imperative for voters to remove Omeish from office.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is rumored to be “brain dead” while reportedly hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda.
This wouldn’t be the first time Fetterman and the Democrats have hidden his health problems from the public. In May 2022, The Gateway Pundit reported Fetterman suffered a major stroke that almost took his life just months before the mid-term elections. Democrats hid the seriousness of his condition and pushed him to campaign when he was not even capable of holding a conversation.
Fetterman did not come clean on his health for years regarding his heart disease or how damaging last year’s stroke was. He now has a pacemaker and defibrillator implanted, and it was only recently reported thathe has “serious mental health challenges” from the stroke that have taken a “psychological toll” on him.
The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday that Fetterman is much worse than he, his wife, and staff are telling the public after checking into the hospital for clinical depression on February 15.
According to CNN and The New York Times, Fetterman may have been hospitalized because he is “unable to take care” of himself or “needs a better plan to take care of himself, both physically and emotionally.”
Instead of questioning Fetterman’s health and ability to serve, Democrats are spinning the narrative and calling him “brave” for admitting his problem and seeking help by checking himself into a hospital for it. Pennsylvania’s new Democrat Governor, Josh Shapiro, even said he will reject any suggestions that Senator John Fetterman should resign.
New rumors may explain why he is unable to take care of himself. The Gateway Pundit cannot currently verify these rumors.
A viral tweet from John Cardillo, a former NYPD officer turned conservative radio host and social-media influencer, called for an investigation into whether Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., may be clinically brain dead as Democrats engage in a cover-up to avoid a special election before August.
Cardillo’s tweet made a significant splash on social media, garnering more than a million views and 18,000 likes as of Saturday night.
However, Headline USA was unable to verify the accuracy of either claim—that Fetterman was clinically brain-dead or that an Aug. 18 deadline would allow far-left Gov. Josh Shapiro to avoid calling a special election.
Headline USA reached out to both Cardillo and to Fetterman press secretary Joe Calvello, and we will update with any response.
Pennsylvania law stipulates that a special election must be held “at the time of the next general or municipal election, occurring at least ninety (90) days after the happening of such vacancy.”
Fetterman’s near-fatal stroke was widely concealed by and later downplayed the media during his senatorial race last year, enabling him to handily defeat celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz on the strength of early mail-in balloting before the two had even debated.
The Gateway Pundit cannot confirm nor deny this reporting.
Cardillo tweeted yesterday evening, claiming that “Fetterman is essentially brain dead,” and this is being hidden from the public.
Being told that Fetterman is essentially brain dead and it’s being hidden because keeping him in office until August 18th avoids a special election which Republicans would most certainly win.
BREAKING: Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is allegedly brain dead and being kept from public eye until August 18th to avoid special election contest.
Brody then conducted a Twitter poll, asking, Do you believe what they’re telling you about Senator Fetterman? Roughly 90% of the over 8,000 respondents replied “no” or “unsure.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported, John Fetterman’s proud illegal alien wife, Gisele, fled the country for Canada with the couple’s children for a vacation after he was hospitalized.
Former CNN host Brian Stelter is trying to rewrite history on the 2020 election and the Hunter Biden laptop story.
While appearing on a podcast this week, Stelter claimed that CNN never labeled the laptop story as disinformation and defended the way CNN and other news organizations treated the story.
This is a good reminder that CNN was right to fire Stelter and that he has no business being in the news business.
Brian Stelter defends 2020 media coverage of Hunter Biden laptop story: We never labeled it ‘disinformation’
Stelter conceded that if Twitter “screwed up” in censoring the laptop story, “we should go after Twitter.” But he offered a full-throated defense on how CNN and other media organizations handled the Biden scandal at the time.
“I think newsrooms just looked around and said, ‘We don’t have the laptop. We don’t have evidence. We don’t have evidence it’s real. And we know that there are reasons to wonder if it’s disinformation,'” Stelter said.
“A lot of the lies that happen now about what happened in 2020 go like this – they say, ‘All these a–h—s, they all called it a disinformation!’ That’s not true,” Stelter continued. “A lot of us just wondered, we said out loud, ‘could this be?’ We said things like ‘some former US officials think it might be,’ it was always cushioned – it was not always, it was often cushioned that way. And now in retrospect, two years later, three years later, people like partisans like to pretend that it was labeled disinformation, which it wasn’t. There was concern. There was reason to be concerned not because of the Hillary emails, but because of the Russian attempt in 2016.”
Krakauer pushed back, citing the infamous letter from former intel officials who claimed the Hunter Biden emails shared by the Post had the “classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” something he stressed was “essentially” telling Americans that it was disinformation. He also called out the double standard the media had with its approach to the Russia investigation and how one anonymously-sourced story about the Mueller probe from The New York Times or The Washington Post would fuel “an entire news cycle” but not the New York Post’s Hunter Biden story.
The former “Reliable Sources” host attempted to separate the comparison, claiming there were “a lot of problems” regarding the various circumstances behind the New York Post’s reporting and the “Uncovered” author acknowledged there were some “red flags.”
What was left unmentioned in the exchange between Stelter and Krakauer was the fact that CNN’s top brass was caught spiking the laptop story in leaked recordings of the network’s editorial calls shortly after the New York Post first published its bombshell reporting.
Stelter is such a dishonest hack.
Feb. 2023: Stelter defends 2020 media coverage of Hunter Biden laptop story: ‘We never labeled it ‘disinformation’ — Stelter in Oct. 2020 after the Hunter laptop story broke: “We do know that this is a classic example of the right-wing media machine.” https://t.co/bXWQ1g3rPH
Joy, purity, unity, passion—a few words that come to mind in describing the Asbury Revival. The Holy Spirit is resting on this place in a special way. Call it revival. Call it what you will. All I know is that we need more of it. #kynaz#asbury#revival#asburyrevivalpic.twitter.com/zNAINtaqua
If there ever was an example of globalists and the uniparty in action, it’s this one. President George W. Bush celebrated 20 years of his PEPFAR program with fellow globalists Nancy Pelosi, Tony Blinkin and Bill Gates.
GW Bush is proud of his work with PEPFAR. The fact that Nancy Pelosi, Tony Blinkin and Bill Gates are too, should tell you something.
Since PEPFAR’s inception in 2003, the U.S. government has invested over $100 billion in the global HIV/AIDS response, saving over 20 million lives, preventing millions of HIV infections, and supporting several countries to achieve HIV epidemic control, all while significantly strengthening global economic security.
The program leverages the power of partnerships across multiple sectors, reaches the populations that are most affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic with innovative solutions that meet their needs, ensures that every dollar is optimally focused for impact through data-driven policies, and supports partner countries to do the same.
PEPFAR is managed and overseen by the U.S. Department of State’s Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and Health Diplomacy and implemented by sevenU.S. government departments and agencies, leveraging the power of a whole-of-government approach to controlling the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Back in April of 2020 while COVID fear was taking over the world based on faulty information on its mortality rates, world leaders in the medical community were pushing for backward mandates that didn’t prevent COVID from spreading but did destroy families, incomes and small businesses. When smaller countries implemented these insane mandates, people died.
It was at this point in time that TGP reported on the faulty information on COVID and the connections those pushing these narratives had over the past few decades. PEPFAR was one organization that was uncovered.
At that time we realized that the Clinton Foundation was knee-deep in the coronavirus crisis due to its many connections with the Gates Foundation, PEPFAR and the WHO. (Not surprisingly Twitter took down the tweets supporting the story and the account is still to this day suspended.)
In addition to the Clinton Foundation connection, the failed doctor of COVID fame, Dr. Deborah Birx served as the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, implementing PEPFAR programs around the world.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates actually tweeted this out on Thursday.
This is just another reminder the nation’s best and brightest do not reside within the Biden regime. White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates got duped by a Twitter account Thursday which said “Joe Biden Showered With His Daughter.”
Here is Ashley Biden in her diary detailing what Creepy Joe did to her while she was growing up.
The Daily Caller reported that Bates shared a Twitter video from conservative digital strategist Greg Price showing White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lying about the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio and blaming the Trump Administration.
Unbeknownst to Bates, however, Price slyly changed his Twitter account temporarily to “Joe Biden Showered With His Daughter” right before Bates shared the clip.
This caused the tweet to show up under Bates’s post. He also retweeted Price’s original tweet while still oblivious to Price’s new account name.
Fortunately for Bates, Price eventually did change his account from “Joe Biden Showered With His Daughter” back to his real name. Bates would have been in even hotter water had Price been more merciless.
Bates certainly deserved more humiliation considering the damage the Regime has wrought on America.
Former “trans kid” Chloe Cole has filed a lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente for providing her with inappropriate gender hormone therapies and surgical procedures.
The 18-year-old is being represented by the Center for American Liberty and Harmeet Dhillon of the Dhillon Law Group.
Working with our colleagues at LiMandri & Jonna (@PaulJonna), we @Liberty_Ctr sued Kaiser on behalf of @ChoooCole for pushing her into medical mutilation instead of properly treating her. Lawsuit at this link: https://t.co/6FRrW351zP
The lawsuit alleges that as a child, she was coerced into undergoing a gender transition — which included being placed on puberty blockers, hormones, and having her healthy breasts removed.
“At just 9 years old, Chloe began suffering from gender dysphoria. She first expressed her struggle with gender dysphoria to her pediatrician when she was 12 years old,” the Center for American Liberty said in a statement. “Then, under the advice and supervision of medical professionals, Chloe was coerced into undergoing a ‘gender transition.’ Between the ages of 13 and 16 years old, physicians placed Chloe on puberty blockers, off-label cross-sex hormone treatment, and performed a double mastectomy on her to remove her breasts.”
“Doctors told Chloe and her parents that Chloe’s gender dysphoria would never resolve itself,” the statement continued. “That was a lie. They also told Chloe and her parents that Chloe was at a high risk for suicide unless she socially and medically transitioned. Chloe’s doctors told her parents, ‘would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?’ That was a lie too.”
By the time she reached 18, Cole’s struggles with gender identity had resolved themself and she wanted to go back to being a normal girl — but she had already received irreversible procedures. The Center for American Liberty said that doctors never once informed her or her parents of non-invasive psychological or psychiatric counseling options.
“Instead, her doctors concealed treatment options from her and fraudulently informed her that the only way to resolve her gender dysphoria was to undergo a physical, chemical, and social transition to a male role,” the organization said. “And the result of their concealment—their fraud—is a lifetime of irreversible physical and psychological damage to Chloe.”
As an outspoken de-transitioner, Cole has been the target of extreme rage from those who support these procedures being done on children.
“It’s purely about politics,” Ebony Harper, executive director of California TRANScends, told the San Francisco Chronicle. “These people do not give a f– about these children. Chloe is just a pawn.”
In a statement obtained by the Chronicle, Kaiser said its transgender services are “consistent with the standards of medical care and excellence.”
“Our physicians and care teams, including our multi-disciplinary team of gender-affirming care experts, practice compassionate, evidence-based medicine founded on sound research and best medical practices to provide comprehensive services based on the individual needs of each patient,” Kaiser stated. “The care decisions always rest with the patient and their parents, and, in every case, we respect the patients’ and their families’ informed decisions about their personal health.”
If you think the deterioration in relations between America and China is just a temporary situation that will be reversed in the near term, think again. Just because Chinese leaders do not emulate dementia Joe Biden and yell out insults, this does not mean that the Chinese are apathetic. Just the opposite. They are furious.
When the United States chose to shoot down the Chinese balloon (Beijing insists it was a weather balloon, the U.S. claims it was a spy platform) without contacting the Chinese Government, the Chinese initially expressed their outrage by refusing to accept a phone call from U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin. Austin continues to ask for a telephone conversation between the defense ministers of the two countries to discuss the situation around the weather balloon, but Beijing refuses to do so.
The Chinese then vowed to retaliate. but did not initially spell out what those countermeasures would entail. Then, last Thursday, Beijing announced sanctions and fines against two key American defense companies due to their participation in arms sales to Taiwan: Lockheed Martin Corp. and a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corp.
The Biden Administration had a choice — take steps to try to repair relations with China or double down on antagonizing Beijing. Joe Biden and his feckless team, who have a knack for doing the wrong thing, opted to poke the Chinese in the eye. This week, the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of State, claimed they had intelligence that China was preparing to give Russia military aid and warned China in the strongest terms not to do so.
Talk about hypocrisy. The United States is free to supply Ukraine with billions in weapons and equipment but declares itself the sole arbiter to decide who China can support with military aid. Beijing was not amused:
“The so-called ‘US intelligence’ [about Russian arms supplies] is speculation and slander against China,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said.
Wang Wenbin did not stop there. He accused the United States of being the greatest threat to peace on the earth:
The United States violates the sovereignty of other countries the most and interferes in the internal affairs of other countries;
America is the largest producer of war;
The US has not been at war in just 16 years of its 240-year history;
The United States has initiated about 80% of the armed conflicts in the world since the end of World War II;
After the end of World War II, the US tried to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments;
Violently interfered in elections in at least 30 countries and tried to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders;
NATO wars against Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria under the US have resulted in over 900,000 deaths and 37 million refugees.
As long as America’s hegemonic policies and warlike tendencies continue, there will be no peace in the world.
You may be shocked by what I am about to tell you — the Chinese monitor U.S. media and pay attention to what the various think tanks that populate Washington, D.C. write and do. The Center for Strategic and International Studies aka CSIS recently war gamed a scenario where China is provoked and invades Taiwan. The CSIS players concluded that:
The Chinese military capabilities are comparable to the U.S. but ultimately the US could defeat an attempted amphibious landing on Taiwan;
Taiwan’s infrastructure and industry would be destroyed but it would maintain its political autonomy, trading its physical existence in to maintain its political existence;
Here is Brian Berletic providing a detailed breakdown of the war game:
China, for its part, is doing some war games with its new partners. During the past week China, along with Russia and South Africa, took part in a joint naval exercise. China’s participation was not sparked by the latest tensions with Washington. The planning for this exercise started 18 months ago. Nevertheless, it does show that China is serious about forging with ties outside the orbit of the U.S.
Joint naval exercises of China, Russia and the Republic of South Africa will improve the skills of the BRICS countries in ensuring maritime security. This was stated on Thursday by the official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the People’s Republic of China Tan Kefei.
The era of the United States dictating to China is over. While the Chinese will try to avoid a shooting war with Washington, America should not make the mistake of confusing Chinese restraint and patience with weakness. The dragon is awake.
Last week, The Gateway Pundit reported that the train that derailed in East Palestine on Feb 3 had what appeared to be an axle on fire for at least 43 minutes prior to the derailment. According to the NTSB, the train derailed at approximately 8:54pm.
The NTSB cites a video shared by several outlets, including The Gateway Pundit, in which a business’s surveillance camera caught the train with what appears to be either an axle on fire, or glowing red from heat and sparking. There isn’t a visible timestamp on the video.
We are now able to report that, based on a photo a source tells us is the derailed train, the axles appear to be on fire as early as 8:13pm, approximately 43 minutes before the NTSB reported the train derailed.
A photo taken from a surveillance camera overlooking the tracks shows an obvious glow coming from around the axle area of the train. The video we posted earlier appears to show a fire much further up the rail car than the initial picture as if the failure had worsened suggesting the picture was before the CCTV video. That video was filmed at Butech Bliss in Salem, OH, about 20 miles from the site of the derailment.
The derailment is thought to be caused by a wheel bearing failure, as initially reported by the NTSB.
NTSB investigators have identified and examined the rail car that initiated the derailment. Surveillance video from a residence showed what appears to be a wheel bearing in the final stage of overheat failure moments before the derailment. The wheelset from the suspected railcar has been collected as evidence for metallurgical examination. The suspected overheated wheel bearing has been collected and will be examined by engineers from the NTSB Materials Laboratory in Washington, D.C.
This raises serious questions about existing checks for catastrophic failures like this. There are reportedly “hot box detectors” placed periodically along the rails to check temperatures of critical components, including wheels and axles.
How long were the axles on fire in their entirety? Was the sensor properly functioning? If so, when was the crew alerted to this malfunction and what actions were taken? Are the frequency of the detectors an appropriate distance apart if they failed to detect a malfunction of this magnitude?
Hopefully the media will ask appropriate questions at tomorrow’s “RSVP only” press conference at 1pm.
Ed Dowd joined Steve Bannon on The War Room in late 2022 to discuss the excess mortality rates we are witnessing following two years of the COVID vaccine mandates.
Ed Dowd, an equity investment executive, went on The War Room back in March 2022 with an explosive report on the excess number of deaths recorded in the US since the introduction of the mandatory experimental vaccines.
Back in March Dowd said that U.S. millennials, aged 25-44, experienced a record-setting 84% increase in excess mortality during the final four months of 2021.
Ed Dowd later told The War Room of significant increases in the US disability rate that is directly related to the COVID-19 vaccine.
Ed Dowd told the War Room audience, “So, just to give you some idea of the number I said on your show a couple of weeks ago and to Senator Ron Johnson, there was about 1.2 million we calculated in September. It’s now about 1.7 million starting about February 2021 thru November of 2022. 1.7 employed people have become disabled and that’s a big number.
That is a HUGE number of individuals who have been disabled due to the mandatory vaccines!
On Wednesday Tucker Carlson invited Ed Dowd on to discuss his research on Tucker Carlson originals.
Ed Dowd told the FOX News audience about his research on the unexplained increases in death rates and disability numbers. Ed Dowd told Tucker, “The only thing that changed was a mass vaccination campaign and mandates.”
Americans need to listen to Ed Dowd. What a message!
Fifty one years ago (February 12, 1972) U.S. President Richard M. Nixon landed in Beijing on a cold, blustery day, shook hands with China’s Premier Zhou Enlai, and started a thaw in U.S./China relations that launched China on a path that has made it a world power. During that visit, Zhou declared that “the gate to friendly contact” had been opened. That gate is now slammed shut and China is preparing for an eventual war with the United States in part because of the bellicose policies and actions of the Biden Administration.
Blame for the rupture in the formerly friendly relationship is not the fault of Biden and his bumbling National Security team. U.S. politicians in both parties now routinely refer to China as an “enemy”, the General in charge of Air Mobility Command wrote a letter stating he believed that America would be at war with China by 2025 and public opinion polls show a growing number of Americans also believe that China is the main threat.
China has initiated a number of actions to prepare for the possibility of going to war with the United States. The Wall Street Journal reported today that China has begun revoking the patents of U.S. companies in important industries for Beijing, including technology, pharmaceuticals and the use of rare earth minerals.
Officials in the U.S. and European Union accuse China of using its courts and patent panels to undermine foreign intellectual-property rights and help Chinese businesses. They say China is focusing such efforts on industries it deems important, including technology, pharmaceuticals and rare-earth minerals.
A U.S. manufacturer of X-ray equipment had a decade-old patent invalidated by a Chinese legal panel. A Spanish mobile-antenna designer lost a similar fight in a Shanghai court. Another Chinese court ruled that a Japanese conglomerate broke antitrust law by refusing to license its technology to a Chinese rival.
China also is buying gold and selling its sizeable position in U.S. Treasury bills. Beijing took notice of the West’s attempt to destroy Russia’s economy with sanctions and the seizure of Russian assets overseas and has embarked on a program to cut its risk. China now realizes that if it acts to protect its claim on Taiwan it would face the same sort of retaliation that the West deployed against Russia for its war to prevent Ukraine from becoming part of NATO.
The visit of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to Moscow this week was not a coincidence. It had at least three goals — to demonstrate China’s support for Russia on the anniversary of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, to further progress on the creation of an alternative international financial system not beholden to Washington and, I believe, to kick off the negotiations for a mutual defense pact. In addition to meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, Wang Yi met with Patrushev, the head of Russia’s Security Council.
In the world of international diplomacy, the Foreign Minister has the task of working out details and producing the documents that would codify a defense relationship. It also is not a coincidence that Putin announced at the end of the “productive” meeting with Wan Yi that Xi Jinping, the President of the People’s Republic of China, would visit Russia in the near future, possibly in March. Xi Jinping is not going to Russia to sight see or swig vodka.
As Wang Yi met with Putin’s senior government officis, the boneheads in Washington chose that moment to verbally bully the Chinese.
“There will certainly be consequences for China should they deepen their relationship with Russia,” Singh said. “We haven’t seen them give lethal aid to Russia at this time for the war, but they also haven’t taken that off the table.”
Beijing’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the U.S. threat by declaring that China would not tolerate pressure and threats in relation to Russian-Chinese relations. If the United States can send military aid to Ukraine, China has the full right as a sovereign nation, to send military aid to any country it chooses to support.
The arrogance and hypocrisy of the United States towards both Russia and China is solidifying the bond between the Russians and the Chinese. Dmitry Medvedev’s comment on Putin’s and Biden’s speeches should be a wake up call to America (but I fear it is falling on deaf ears):
Yesterday we had an address by the President of Russia to the Federal Assembly, in which, among other things, he announced the suspension of our participation in START III. A long overdue decision, the inevitability of which I noted last year. A decision prompted by the war the United States and other NATO countries have declared on our country. A decision that will have a huge resonance in the world in general and in the United States in particular. The reasoning of the American establishment so far has been this: we will shit all over you, we will supply huge volumes of weapons to the Kiev regime, we will work to defeat Russia, we will limit and destroy you, but strategic security is a separate issue. It is not related to the overall context of the U.S.-Russia relationship. It is almost a sacred cow.
This conclusion is worse than a crime-it’s a grave mistake by Americans. A mistake born of their mania grandiosa. Their sense of superiority and impunity. After all, it is obvious to all reasonable forces that if the U.S. wants to defeat Russia, then we are on the brink of a world conflict. If the U.S. wants to defeat Russia, we have the right to defend ourselves with any weapon, including nuclear weapons. As Putin rightly said: “It is impossible to defeat Russia on the battlefield. This is precisely why we have suspended (for now) START III. Let the elites in the U.S., who have lost touch with reality, think about what they have achieved. Let us also watch the reactions of the other NATO nuclear powers: France and Britain. Their Strategic nuclear forces were not usually included in the balance of nuclear warheads and carriers in the preparation of agreements between the US and the USSR (Russia), and it is high time to do so.
The Nixon era of peace with China is dead. The new era of a military and economic alliance between Russia and China is beginning and America labors under the delusion that it can stop this with threats of military action. A very dangerous time for the world.
Five environmentalists heading to East Palestine, Ohio to provide “environmental support” in Bedford, Ohio after a metal plant mysteriously exploded earlier this week, died in a plane crash in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Local news outlets reported a twin-engine Beech BE20 crashed in a densely wooded area shortly after taking off from Little Rock’s Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.
ABC 5 News reported, “All five people were employees at Little Rock-based consulting firm CTEH.”
Per its site CTEH is a environmental consulting company that ” empowers extraordinary teams of experts to help companies, governments, and communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from threats to their environment and people.”
CTEH has also been hired by Norfolk Southern to test soil and water in East Palestine.
Environmental scientists headed to Ohio for the clean-up die in a plane crash …
Five people were killed in a twin-engine plane crash in Little Rock, Arkansas, on Wednesday, officials said.
The twin-engine Beech BE20 crashed in a wooded area after taking off from Little Rock’s Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport. All five people were employees at Little Rock-based consulting firm CTEH.
Those killed were headed to Bedford, Ohio, to provide environmental support for this week’s plant explosion.
Mother Jones back in 2019 reported that CTEH was previously hired to “monitor air and water quality and workers’ chemical exposure” for both the BP Spill in 2020 and a crude oil spill during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
#30 CTEH, a private contractor hired by Norfolk Southern to test water, soil, and air quality in East Palestine, Ohio, has a history of minimizing the effects of environmental disasters to satisfy its corporate employers.
CTEH appears to have a big roll in East Palestine because Ohio Rep. Bill Johnson has even directed his constituents to call CTEH’s hotline if they have any questions regarding smells, fumes or their health.
