Gab.ai's Andrew Torba
Following Gab's receipt of a letter from the January 6th Committee investigating the protests at the U.S. Capitol, we responded to Congress today to set the record straight about Gab and its role, or rather its lack of a role, in the events of January 6th.

We told Congress that Gab exists to promote freedom of speech. By this we mean all written or spoken expression protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. No more, no less. We accordingly have a longstanding zero-tolerance policy towards threats of violence and use of our platform for criminal purposes.

As to controversial, but nonetheless legal, speech, we believe - as Justice Brandeis did - that "sunlight is the best disinfectant, electric light the most efficient policeman." This means that Gab seeks to serve as an online home for dissent, whether it emanates from protestors in Hong Kong, Russia, or the United States.

Sometimes this means that Gab finds itself hosting people or ideas wide segments of a given population regard as loathsome or evil. It is not our place, nor should it be the place of any technology company, to interfere with Americans' civil rights and sit in judgment over their lawful expression.

Comment: Gab.ai has the ADL to thank for this. The snitch 'Jewish' organization wrote on Jan 13th, just a week after the 'insurrection' at the Capitol:
To the extent Gab intentionally served as a forum for people to plan, coordinate, engage in or otherwise facilitate the criminal activity that took place on January 6, a Department of Justice investigation is warranted.
8 months later, it turns out that no such plot or criminal activity took place - except in 'pretend' form among FBI and other government agents - yet Gab.ai must nevertheless 'be put to the question'...

Dr. Jane Orient, executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, published a commentary July 7, 20211 asking an important question about the rising number of deaths being reported to the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) in conjunction with the COVID-19 injection program.

Her credentials2 are many: She's a clinical lecturer in medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. She received her medical degree from Columbia University and is the author of several books. And, as president of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness and chairman of the Public Health Committee of the Pima County (Arizona) Medical Society, she asks: Why haven't there been autopsies of healthy people who are dying unexpectedly after receiving a COVID jab?

Best of the Web: Enigmatic ancient brown dwarf discovered in solar neighborhood suggests more 'accidents' may be lurking in our galaxy - NASA

© NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLAThis mosaic shows the entire sky imaged by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Infrared light refers to wavelengths that are longer than those visible to the human eye. Many cosmic objects radiate infrared, including gas and dust clouds where stars form, and brown dwarfs.
Brown dwarfs aren't quite stars and aren't quite planets, and a new study suggests there might be more of them lurking in our galaxy than scientists previously thought.

A new study offers a tantalizing explanation for how a peculiar cosmic object called WISEA J153429.75-104303.3 - nicknamed "The Accident" - came to be. The Accident is a brown dwarf. Though they form like stars, these objects don't have enough mass to kickstart nuclear fusion, the process that causes stars to shine. And while brown dwarfs sometimes defy characterization, astronomers have a good grasp on their general characteristics.

Or they did, until they found this one.

Comment: Regarding brown dwarfs and why they don't shine, Pierre Lescaudron in his book Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection details that it's actually due to their low electrical activity; he also theorizes that our Sun may even be twinned with one:
Enter Nemesis

As everybody knows, our solar system is powered by a single star, the Sun. Well, it is assumed that ours is a single-star solar system because we see only one sun rise each morning. However, this is actually quite a peculiar configuration, since most stars astronomers have observed are part of multi-star systems (most often binary).

Based on data from NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory, it's estimated that over 80% of all stars may be in either binary or multiple-star systems.1 Grazia and Milton, who studied the 60 star systems nearest to our own reached a comparable conclusion:
61% of the 60 nearest stars are components of a double (binary) or triple star system.2
A twin-star model for our own solar system is a tantalizing prospect, not least because it could account for many 'anomalies' exhibited by the single-star hypothesis. As stated by the Binary Research Institute (BRI):
... elliptical orbit equations have been found to be a better predictor of precession rates than Newcomb's formula, showing far greater accuracy over the last hundred years. Moreover, a moving solar system model appears to solve a number of solar system formation theory problems including the sun's lack of angular momentum. For these reasons, BRI has concluded our sun is most likely part of a long cycle binary system.3
Bear in mind that the binary systems identified above are composed of stars bright enough to be detected with a telescope. This means that the percentage of binary systems may be even higher, since some systems can include 'unlit' stars, like so-called 'brown dwarfs', for example.

For plasma cosmologists, a binary system is the logical way for individual stars to cope with high electric stress, causing any given star to go through a process of fission (i.e. splitting into two or more parts).4 When a sphere is divided into two equally-sized spheres, the total mass will remain the same (no matter disappears) but the total surface area of this pair will be about 26% larger than the area of the original single sphere.5 This increases the total surface area exposed to the electric field and thus decreases the current density (amperes per square meter). Thus, electrically-induced fission enables stars to reduce the electric stress they are subjected to by spreading it between two or more stars.

Because of the lower level of electric stress exerted on a binary system after fission, brown dwarfs (stars exposed to a weak electric field, hence their reduced brightness) should be quite common in binary systems:
If the members of a resulting binary pair turn out to be unequal in size, the larger one will probably have the larger current density - but still lower than the original value. (This assumes that the total charge and total driving current to the original star distributes itself onto the new stars proportionally to their masses.) In this case, the smaller member of the pair might have such a low value of current density as to drop it, abruptly, to 'brown dwarf' or even 'giant gas planet' status.6
It's clear that binary stars are very common, probably even more common than acknowledged in the scientific literature. So, is our Sun one more anomaly in the rather anomalous universe depicted by mainstream science? Is our Sun really single?

A significant clue that our star may in fact be part of a binary system appeared in Nature on March 19th,1982,7 when the paleontologists David Raup and Jack Sepkoski unveiled a cyclical pattern of mass-extinction events in the fossil record.8 Their research revealed that over the last 250 million years, the Earth regularly experienced mass extinctions [...]

Best of the Web: July transcript reveals Biden pressured Afghan President Ghani to create 'perception' Taliban wasn't winning 'WHETHER TRUE OR NOT'

Comment: This is exactly the thing they impeached Trump for!!!


Joe Biden President Ashraf Ghani
President Joe Biden wanted the now-departed Afghan president to create the 'perception' that his government was capable of holding off the Taliban - an indication he knew it was only a matter of time before the US ally fell to the Islamic group even while reassuring Americans at home that it would not happen.

In the last phone call between Biden and his Afghan then-counterpart Ashraf Ghani, the American president said they needed to change perceptions of the Taliban's rapid advance 'whether it is true or not,' according to excerpts published on Tuesday.

The call took place on July 23 - weeks before the fall of Kabul - but Biden on Tuesday repeated his assertion that his team was caught flat-footed by the rapid Taliban takeover of the country.

Best of the Web: 'I was recruited by UK intelligence to spy on ISIS and got thrown under the bus' - claims ex-militant awaiting trial in Dagestan

© RTAzamat Ayvazov claims he was recruited by the UK special services to spy on ISIS militants in Syria but was then abandoned there.
A former ISIS militant, awaiting trial in Russia, claims he had been recruited by UK agents to spy on the terrorist group. The man told RT he ended up fighting in the terrorists' ranks, allegedly, after being abandoned in Syria.

Azamat Ayvazov, 33, who is in a pre-trial facility in Russia's southern republic of Dagestan, gave an exclusive interview to RT's Ilya Petrenko, who became interested in the unusually talkative ex-militant's side of the story.

The man claims that ending up in the ranks of the notorious terrorist group was never his intention, and instead holds himself to be a victim of "geopolitical games."

Ayvazov left Russia some 10 years ago, gaining refugee status in the UK. Following the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attack, he ended up on the radar of the British secret services, as they allegedly screened "Muslim-looking" individuals.

Comment: Terroristic organizations like ISIS/ISIL, Al-Qaeda, and many others are created, financed and commanded by the PTB through the Intelligence agencies. They need them, so they can cause terror and fear among the population.

They represent the secret unofficial army and they are using it to strip the basic human rights of the targeted population, to invade and destroy countries that oppose them, and to globally install totalitarian police state.

But don't worry. They are doing it for our own good.

Best of the Web: Pentagon knew about Kabul suicide bombing 'hours in advance,' report claims, but troops on the ground say they weren't protected

US military leaders knew in advance that a "mass casualty event" was planned at Kabul airport, a Politico report reveals. However, accounts from the troops in harm's way suggest that nothing was done.

A suicide bombing outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul last Thursday killed more than 150 people, including 13 American troops. The bombing provoked the US into launching two drone strikes, one targeting an alleged "planner" and "facilitator" with the group responsible, and another supposedly wiping out "multiple" would-be suicide bombers but reportedly annihilating a family and children alongside them.

The initial bombing didn't take US officials by surprise. The US embassy in Kabul had warned Americans to stay away from the airport due to "security threats" and, in the hours before the suicide attack, Pentagon leaders held a conference call to prepare for an imminent "mass casualty event," according to a Politico report on Monday.

Two of the FDA's most se­nior vac­cine lead­ers are ex­it­ing from their po­si­tions, rais­ing fresh ques­tions about the Biden ad­min­is­tra­tion and the way that it's side­lined the FDA.

Mar­i­on Gru­ber, di­rec­tor of the FDA's Of­fice of Vac­cines Re­search & Re­view and 32-year vet­er­an of the agency, will leave at the end of Oc­to­ber, and OVRR deputy di­rec­tor Phil Krause, who's been at FDA for more than a decade, will leave in No­vem­ber. The news, first re­port­ed by Bio­Cen­tu­ry, is a mas­sive blow to con­fi­dence in the agency's abil­i­ty to reg­u­late vac­cines.

Mar­i­on Gru­ber

The bomb­shell an­nounce­ment comes at a par­tic­u­lar­ly cru­cial mo­ment, as boost­ers and chil­dren's shots are be­ing weighed by the reg­u­la­tor. The de­par­tures al­so come as the ad­min­is­tra­tion has re­cent­ly jumped ahead of the FDA's re­views of boost­er shots, an­nounc­ing that they might be avail­able by the week of Sept. 20.

A for­mer se­nior FDA leader told End­points that they're de­part­ing be­cause they're frus­trat­ed that CDC and their ACIP com­mit­tee are in­volved in de­ci­sions that they think should be up to the FDA. The for­mer FDAer al­so said he's heard they're up­set with CBER di­rec­tor Pe­ter Marks for not in­sist­ing that those de­ci­sions should be kept in­side FDA. What fi­nal­ly did it for them was the White House get­ting ahead of FDA on boost­er shots.


Comment: Interestingly, this comes right on the heels of the FDA's recent "approval" of the Pfizer covid vaccine.

Best of the Web: Coronavirus NOT leading cause of death in UK, four times as many lives lost to heart disease, dementia, cancer

coronavirus
The most striking finding is that, despite the prevailing focus on the dangers of Covid, it is killing very few people compared to other deadly conditions
Is it time to stop obsessing over Covid figures? Statistics reveal virus is NOT the biggest killer - with heart disease, dementia and cancer each claiming four times as many lives in an average week last month

They're the figures that have ruled our lives for the past 18 months; decided our freedoms; deepened our fears.

The Covid dashboard published on the UK Government website has offered the public a window into the state of the UK's epidemic, displaying daily Covid cases, hospitalisations and deaths, both nationally and regionally, since April 2020.

Some people have avoided looking at the figures - published at 4pm every day, including weekends. But a surprising number of us have become secretly addicted to poring over them.

Best of the Web: Pepe Escobar: Blowback: The Taliban target US intel's shadow army

Kabul
The Kabul Airport bombing shows there are shadowy forces in Afghanistan, willing to disrupt a peaceful transition after US troops leave. But what about US intel's own 'shadow army,' amassed over two decades of occupation? Who are they, and what is their agenda?
So we have the CIA Director William Burns deploying in haste to Kabul to solicit an audience with Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar, the new potential ruler of a former satrapy. And he literally begs him to extend a deadline on the evacuation of US assets.

The answer is a resounding "no." After all, the 31 August deadline was established by Washington itself. Extending it would only mean the extension of an already defeated occupation.

The 'Mr. Burns goes to Kabul' caper is by now part of cemetery of empires folklore. The CIA does not confirm or deny Burns met Mullah Baradar; a Taliban spokesman, delightfully diversionist, said he was "not aware" of such a meeting.

Comment: Amidst its 'official' withdrawal, in just the last few days, the US has overseen two incidents that resulted in the murder of over a hundred Afghan civilians along with 13 US military personnel. Notably, that's more civilian death due to US actions in Kabul than has been attributed to the Taliban during their 'takeover' of the entire country: See also: And check out SOTT radio's:

Best of the Web: 60% of those older than 50 who die from COVID are double vaxxed

The oft-repeated refrain right now is that we're in a "pandemic of the unvaccinated," meaning those who have not received the COVID jab make up the bulk of those hospitalized and dying from the Delta variant. For example, August 20, 2021, England's chief medical officer professor Chris Whitty tweeted:1,2
Four weeks working on a COVID ward makes stark the reality that the majority of our hospitalized COVID patients are unvaccinated and regret delaying. Some are very sick including young adults. Please don't delay your vaccine.
Curiously, if you take the time to actually look at the data, you'll find that this blanket statement is rather deceptive. Here's a graphic published in the Evening Standard, sourced from Public Health England:3
