Fact Checker Disseminates Misinformation About Vaccines

The so-called 'fact-checking' companies go further and further in spreading misinformation about policies regarding COVID-19 vaccination. The usual tactics until now have consisted in creating strawmen and then attacking them, making dubious and unsupported claims and putting words into people's mouths. Today, Mr. David Williams at Australian Associated Press Factcheck went a step further. His "verdict" of a claim he is trying to debunk is astonishingly misleading. It might be noted that AAP Factcheck claims to be "committed to truth and accuracy".

Apparently, Williams has managed to find an old Facebook post from October 24th last year claiming that COVID-19 vaccines are no longer offered to people under 65 and 50 in Norway and Denmark, respectively. The 'fact check' also mentions that Toby tweeted around the same time: "Denmark has banned the use of COVID-19 vaccines for people under 50 saying the benefits are too low."

Report from Washington: DC gulag vigil for January 6 political prisoners

Washington vigil
Nicole Reffitt, whose husband Guy is now serving over 7 years in prison.
While in Washington for the Rage Against the War Machine rally on Sunday, February 19, I took time out on Friday and Saturday to check out the nightly DC Gulag vigil outside the DC Central Detention Facility. Across the street from the jail in a blocked-off area dubbed the "Freedom Corner," some serious patriots are holding the space not just for January 6 political prisoners, but for American democracy as well.

The largest manhunt in U.S. history continues apace as Americans connected to January 6 are being silently hunted down and persecuted. The Feds are rounding up people at an average rate of about one a day now, according to Randy Ireland, founder of Americans for Justice and a prominent activist for J6 inmates. While Julian Assange and Guantanamo prisoners rightfully receive worldwide attention, very few people realize that right here in the U.S.A. there are now about 1,000 American citizens who have been caught up in this domestic, politically fueled dragnet . . . with more coming.

Putin has a point: The West's liberal-globalist elite & their "woke" army promote pedophilia

putin speech
Russia treasures its children's physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being, which is why its people oppose pushing "woke" ideology about non-traditional sexual identities onto kids, including that which normalizes this and even encourages self-harm. Whether in school or elsewhere in society, such content is strictly banned in order to protect children. The Western liberal-globalist elite and their "woke" army will thus never succeed in promoting pedophilia in Russia.

One of the many sharp criticisms that President Putin leveled against the West during his nearly two-hour-long address to the nation on Tuesday concerned the West's normalization of child abuse. In his words, "Look at what they're doing to their own peoples: the destruction of the family, of cultural and national identity, perversions and abuses against children, up to pedophilia, are declared to the norm, the norm of their lives, while clergymen and priests are forced to bless same-sex marriages."

He has a point, no matter how uncomfortable some folks might be admitting it. The liberal-globalist ideology that infected the Western elite decades ago nowadays no longer hides its civilization-destroying goals, which readers can learn more about here. Adherents of this "secular religion" believe that socio-cultural limitations of any kind violate people's human rights, thus leading to the uncontrollable proliferation of the most extreme manifestations thereof such as pedophilia.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission says, Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2023, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its investment arm will pay $5 million in fines. The SEC alleges the church used shell companies to obscure the size of the portfolio under the church's control.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its investment arm have been fined $5 million for using shell companies to obscure the size of the portfolio under church control, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced Tuesday.

The faith, widely known as the Mormon church, maintains billions of dollars of investments in stocks, bonds, real estate and agriculture. Much of its portfolio is controlled by Ensign Peak Advisers, a nonprofit investment manager overseen by ecclesiastical leaders known as its presiding bishopric.

The church has agreed to pay $1 million and Ensign Peak will pay $4 million in penalties based on the violation.

Ensign Peak avoided disclosing investments "with the church's knowledge," denying the SEC and the public of accurate information required under law, Gurbir Grewal, the agency's enforcement director, said in a statement.

A new complex, called the Abrahamic Family House, erected on the shores of the Persian Gulf, in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, houses a Catholic church, a Jewish synagogue and an Islamic mosque.
On the shores of the Persian Gulf, a new complex houses a Catholic church, a Jewish synagogue and an Islamic mosque in the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

The Abrahamic Family House offers a concrete, marble and oak manifestation of the UAE's publicized push toward tolerance after hosting Pope Francis in 2019 and later diplomatically recognizing Israel in 2020. Worshippers have already prayed and communed at the site on Abu Dhabi's Saadiyat Island, while the general public will be allowed in next month.

However, the UAE still criminalizes proselytizing outside of the Islamic faith. Security also remains a concern as well for Jewish worshippers in this new outpost on the Arabian Peninsula, whether from Israel's regional enemy Iran or from those angered by Israel pursuing settlements on land Palestinians seek for their future state.

Comment: As seen below, with footage of the project, some internet commentators are calling the project heretical.

fourth train derailment nebraska

Crews with Union Pacific were called to clean up the scene after 31 cars carrying coal came off the rails in Nebraska

A Union Pacific train carrying coal suffered a catastrophic derailment on the eastern edge of Gothenburg, Nebraska on Tuesday morning, in the fourth such accident to befall the small town in just 10 months. Emergency and railroad crews were sent to the scene for cleanup after 31 cars carrying coal tumbled into a twisted wreck.

"It seems to happen all the time," local resident Jesse Ambler told the Daily Mail. "The rail company keeps laying people off and building longer and longer trains, but with less people to maintain the tracks," he explained, describing the disaster-plagued stretch of tracks as "one of the busiest railways in America."

Comment: The Daily Mail adds:
Around thirty train cars were seen off the track following the overnight derailing in Gothenburg, around 50 miles from the Nebraska state capital of Lincoln.

Law enforcement and a hazmat team were on the scene as authorities deal with yet another derailment on the nation's railways.
Crews with the Union Pacific Railroad were also called to the site Tuesday morning to attempt the cleanup.

Local resident Jesse Ambler told DailyMail.com that train derailments have occurred numerous times in the area in recent months, which has caused significant disruption to the local town of roughly 3500 people.
'It seems to happen all the time,' he said. 'I don't know what the deal is.'

'This is the fourth one in the last 10 months, it must be one of the busiest railways in America.

'The rail company keeps laying people off and building longer and longer trains, but with less people to maintain the tracks. It's a problem.'
He added that around 20 vehicles and an excavator were quickly on the scene following the wreck, as authorities attempt to quickly cleanup the site. Footage of the wreck shows numerous carriages laid on their side while workers organize around it.

According to 1011Now, train derailments have hit the same area in May, June and November of last year.

Union Railroad said in a statement: 'At about 1:45a.m. CST today, approximately 31 Union Pacific train cars carrying coal derailed near Gothenburg, Nebraska.

'No one was injured. The incident occurred about three miles southeast of Gothenburg. Cleanup has begun, with heavy equipment on site.

'One of the three mainline tracks near the derailment site reopened to train traffic at about 8 a.m. CST. The cause of the incident is under investigation.'

Under siege: How has Donbass lived through its first year of official separation from Ukraine?

On the evening of February 21 of last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a speech officially recognizing the independence of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR).

It stunned the world, and set the course for events which have dominated the headlines since.

Agreements on friendship, cooperation, and mutual assistance were signed on the same day. This historical event has ultimately changed the lives of the residents of both republics, prefaced Moscow's military offensive in Ukraine and the entry of four new regions into the Russian Federation at the end of September. However, for Donbass residents, the year was marked not just by events of global importance, but also by a series of perhaps less well-known developments.

The background story

When the Western-backed coup (directed against Russia, among other things), took place in Kiev on February 23, 2014, it launched counter-processes in what was then eastern Ukraine. This marked the beginning, of what was known as the 'Russian Spring' - a series of pro-Moscow protests in Crimea and Novorossiya [a largely historical term for an area comprising eight regions of southeastern Ukraine - RT]. Supporters of the movement originally advocated the creation of an independent state recognized by Moscow or the direct accession of the territories to the Russian Federation.

State Department explains cutting ties with Soros-funded group that attacked conservative and libertarian media sites

The US State Department said on Tuesday that it has pulled funding from the George Soros-backed Global Disinformation Index (GDI), after it was revealed that the organization was working to deprive conservative media outlets of advertising revenue.

GDI is a UK-based nonprofit that describes its mission as "disrupting the business of disinformation." It does this by compiling lists of "high-risk" news and information outlets - predominantly right-leaning and anti-liberal - and passing these on to advertisers, which in turn refuse to run ads on the sites.

According to a recent investigation by the Washington Examiner, GDI received more than $200,000 from the National Endowment for Democracy and around $100,000 from the Global Engagement Center, both entities of the US State Department. The funding is in addition to undisclosed amounts from billionaire financier Soros and the UK Foreign Office, both of which are listed as donors on its website.

Rittenhouse says he will prove innocence again after he was acquitted on homicide charges

A man who was shot in the arm by Kyle Rittenhouse during the Kenosha riots in 2020 has filed a lawsuit against Rittenhouse and Wisconsin police and officials, Fox News Digital has learned.

Gaige Grosskreutz, who testified that he pointed a firearm at Rittenhouse before the then-teenager shot Grosskreutz and two others, is seeking economic losses, "damages for emotional distress, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of life, and other pain and suffering on all claims," and punitive damages.

"Astonishingly, the Kenosha Police Department, Kenosha County Sheriff's Department, their supervising officials and police officers, and law enforcement officers from surrounding communities did not treat Defendant Rittenhouse or any of the other armed individuals patrolling the streets as a threat to the safety of themselves or the citizens they were sworn to protect," states the lawsuit, which was obtained by Fox News Digital.

Comment: Tucker Carlson interviewed Rittenhouse in December 2021. The trailer for that show:


As the trailer states, were it not for independent journalists on the scene, Rittenhouse would be rotting in jail for the crime of defending himself.

A U.S. Department of Defense server was left exposed for the past two weeks, allowing internal emails to be accessed, a senior U.S. defense official confirmed with Fox News.

A misconfiguration with a Department of Defense server hosted on Microsoft Azure's government cloud allowed the server to be accessed with a password, according to Tech Crunch, which reported that anyone with internet access could access mailbox data if they knew the server's IP address and were using a web browser.

The server contained around three terabytes of military emails, with many related to the U.S. Special Operations Command, which is a military unit that conducts special operations.
