Former US President Donald Trump
The progressive crusade to bring down Donald Trump by any means necessary continues to damage the Office of the President and the Constitution's separation of powers. New York prosecutors succeeded in subpoenaing a sitting president — and thereby interfering with his ability to carry out his duties — all for the sake of indicting a single Trump Organization official for under-reporting taxes.

Now the Biden administration has inflicted even more damage on the Presidency by waiving Trump's constitutional right to confidential communications with his closest aides.

On January 23, 2021, Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats sent a letter to the Department of Justice demanding production of documents concerning meetings and communications between Trump and high-ranking Justice Department officials regarding election fraud. House and the Senate committees subsequently followed up with subpoenas for a slew of top former Justice Department officials, such as Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, assistant attorney general Jeffrey Clark, and U.S. Attorneys in Georgia and New York.

Despite health authorities acknowledging that Covid vaccines prevent neither infection nor transmission, governments - again in 'lockstep' - last week announced that teenagers are next in line for them.

Meanwhile major protests against the 'vaccine green pass' continue growing, and some local governments like Texas and Florida have vowed never to pass such laws.

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? We're surely going to found out soon enough!

Also on this NewsReal, Joe & Niall cast an eye over some of the phenomenal extreme weather events around the world in recent weeks. 'Climate change' is really a thing, but it aint what they're telling you...

Afghanistan: Taliban take 5 provincial capitals in just 3 days

Shops after fighting between the Taliban and Afghan security forces in Kunduz city, northern Afghanistan.
The Taliban have claimed a huge symbolic victory after their fighters seized a large city for the first time in northern Afghanistan as part of a seemingly unstoppable offensive in which they have captured five provincial capitals in just three days.


Comment: It would appear that part of the reason the Taliban have covered so much ground and so quickly is because a great many Afghans mistrust the Kabul administration and consider the Taliban to be a more viable and trustworthy political entity. As a Taliban spokesman stated recently, "it's not possible to take 150 districts in just six weeks by fighting," and, when we consider that the US made little progress in 20 years despite spending billions of dollars and sacrificing over a hundred thousand civilian lives, it's likely he has a point.

Moreover, reflecting not only Afghanistan's strategic importance but also the Taliban's current and future role in the country, Russia has been meeting with Kabul officials and the Taliban since at least 2018, with one particular meeting also involving the US, China, and Pakistan, and, more recently, China hosted the Taliban for discussions about the "peace, reconciliation and reconstruction process".


Armed men swept into Kunduz on Sunday, a strategic city close to the border with Tajikistan and an important political and military hub. By mid-morning they controlled the city centre while pro-government forces retreated to the nearby airport. Residents fled as smoke from the city's burning market engulfed the sky.

Videos posted by Taliban fighters showed the city's abandoned police compound, complete with cars and its main security and intelligence buildings intact. "The enemy left behind vehicles, weapons and equipment," tweeted the Taliban's spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, promising further advances.

"He's a pathological liar": Cornell chemistry professor Dave Collum unloads on Dr. Fauci and Covid hysteria

Friend of Zero Hedge and Cornell Professor Dave Collum appeared on the Quoth the Raven podcast this week and offered his unfiltered (and often profane) 2 hour-long take not only on the development of the Delta variant hysteria, but also on Dr. Fauci, vaccinations and the state of lockdowns across the globe.

Collum is the Betty R. Miller Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University and holds a PhD, Columbia University, MS, Columbia University, MA, Columbia University and BS, Cornell University.

The duo of Collum and podcast host Chris Irons first talked about Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the chief medical advisor to the president, whom Collum referred to as a "pathological liar".

When asked about the FOIA request for Fauci's emails, Collum responded:
"They were heavily redacted. One could only imagine what the redaction was. I got the feeling, reading the emails, Fauci was smart enough to know to not, himself, say anything. So Fauci didn't say incriminating things, it was emails to Fauci that were incriminating."

Leaked document reveals 'shocking' terms of Pfizer's international vaccine agreements - Children's Health Defense

Vaccine makers have nothing to lose by marketing their experimental COVID-19 shots, even if they cause serious injury and death, as they enjoy full indemnity against injuries occurring from COVID-19 vaccines or any other pandemic vaccine under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, passed in the U.S. in 2005.

The full extent of their COVID-19 vaccine indemnification agreements with countries, however, is a closely guarded secret, one that has remained highly confidential — until now. A leaked document broken down by Twitter user Ehden reveals the shocking terms of Pfizer's international COVID-19 vaccine agreements. He wrote:
"These agreements are confidential, but luckily one country did not protect the contract document well enough, so I managed to get a hold of a copy. As you are about to see, there is a good reason why Pfizer was fighting to hide the details of these contracts."

Comment: There are those who watch and report, hoping more will wake up to 'herd awareness' and help turn the tide:

The World Economic Forum and the misleading politics of gender equality

IMF Chief Christine Lagarde • World Economic Forum
The annual release of the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index (GGGI) often provokes consternation and lamentations among journalists, politicians, and activists about the supposedly sorry position of women in the world today. According to the most recent GGGI report, and due in part to the effects of COVID-19 on women's employment, "Another generation of women will have to wait for gender parity." Time magazine uncritically repeated the report's conclusion, noting that:
"it will take an average of 135.6 years for women and men to reach parity on a range of factors worldwide, instead of the 99.5 years outlined in the 2020 report."
A more strident example is provided by an opinion piece in the Sydney Morning Herald that excoriated Australians for their ongoing mistreatment of women:
This failure of policy reflects government indifference to the fact that Australia is a society in which women are actively marginalised and held back. Perhaps the most telling statistical outcome from the 2021 GGGI is that Australia ranks equal first for educational attainment among women and girls, but 70th for economic participation and opportunity ... The state of gender equality in Australia is, put simply, shameful. And it's getting worse, at a rapid pace.

CNN's strange Wuhan lab story suggests US spies hacked Chinese database, hints probe into Covid-19 origins may take longer

A bizarre CNN story about the ongoing US intelligence investigation of Covid-19's origins that relies on anonymous sources, and seems to make excuses for the spies coming up short, also manages to accuse the US of hacking China.

In a progress report of sorts on the 90-day investigation into the coronavirus origins - with which US spies were tasked back in May - a trio of CNN reporters mainly makes excuses for why it might not be completed in time, and could require another three months.
The spies are "digging through a treasure trove of genetic data" that contains "genetic blueprints drawn from virus samples studied at the lab in Wuhan, China," says the report, referring to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

While "it's unclear exactly how or when US intelligence agencies gained access to the information," the computers where such data is stored "are typically connected to external cloud-based servers - leaving open the possibility they were hacked," CNN's sources reportedly said.

Comment: The best lies are based on facts. Any 'truth' here has been released for a purpose.

Families of 9/11 victims tell Biden not to attend memorials until he honors pledge to declassify docs on 'possible Saudi role'

Relatives of victims in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks have disinvited President Joe Biden from their memorial services, saying he must first keep his promise to declassify evidence they think may implicate Saudi officials.

In a statement signed by nearly 1,800 people, family members and survivors of the attack said on Friday:
"We understand President Biden's desire to mark the solemn occasion of the 20th anniversary at Ground Zero; however, we cannot in good faith - and with veneration to those lost, sick and injured - welcome the president to our hallowed grounds until he fulfills his commitment."
At issue are documents related to the alleged role of Saudi Arabian officials in aiding the September 11 attackers. Democrat and Republican administrations alike have kept the evidence secret, citing national security. While running for president last October, Biden pledged to direct his attorney general to examine the merits of cases in which 9/11 documents have been kept classified based on the so-called "state-secrets privilege."

Questioned about the issue at a press briefing on Friday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden remains committed to his promise to ensure that the state-secrets privilege isn't being invoked improperly, but she added that "of course, any steps would be taken by the Department of Justice."

Comment: The events of 9/11 haven't been secreted away for no reason. They are tangible evidence of an ongoing plan, now rapidly unfolding.

'Liberal elites are laughing at us!' Obama's 'scaled back' 60th birthday party draws celeb guests and ire from conservatives

Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts
Dozens of celebrities, politicians and other 'close friends' have reportedly flocked to former US president Barack Obama's mansion for a 'maskless' birthday party, triggering a tsunami of criticism from conservatives.

The original guest list for the weekend getaway allegedly included some 475 people, but a number of celebrities and former Obama administration officials were disinvited after the feast was slammed as hypocritical and dangerous amid the ongoing surge of the Covid-19 Delta variant.

The downsized event was supposedly limited to only the closest friends and family, 'most' of whom were expected to be vaccinated, while a special Covid-coordinator had been hired to ensure the party doesn't turn into a super-spreader event.

Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to meet athlete & armed forces sergeant after she hugged Russian rival who beat her to Olympic gold

Yaroslava Mahuchikh hugged Mariya Lasitskene at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games
Ukraine's defense ministry will meet a high jumper "immediately" upon her return from Tokyo, condemning her hug with a Russian because of the civil conflict in the country's east, which it called the "Russian-Ukrainian war".


Comment: The Ukrainian defense minister needs to get a life, and a real job.


Bronze medalist Yaroslava Mahuchikh was involved in emotional scenes after beating beaten by champion Mariya Lasitskene at the Olympic Games, with both athletes grinning, hugging each other and draping themselves in their national colors in the arena.


Comment: This is a model for what the Olympics can be. But non-entities like those currently occupying Ukraine's government don't understand what it means to be human.


That provoked an angry response from some viewers, including accusations that the junior sergeant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had brought shame upon her country by posing with the army athlete from CSKA.

"Athletes representing Ukraine at international competitions must understand that the Russian-Ukrainian war is ongoing in Ukraine and it imposes certain restrictions and responsibility," Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said in a public Facebook post, adding that photos of the pair together had "caused an outrageous reaction in society".

"The careless behavior of our athletes, whom we love and for whom we sincerely cheer, may become the object of the enemy's information special operations.

"Together with that, please stop bullying Yaroslava until we hear her own explanation.

"[She] is currently in Tokyo. Immediately after her return, I have an appointment scheduled with her. I will report the results of the conversation."

Comment: Lenin must be proud of these deadbeats:
Lenin worked by a principle of anti-empathy, and this approach was to define Soviet ethics. I know of no other society, except those modeled on the one Lenin created, where schoolchildren were taught that mercy, kindness, and pity are vices. After all, these feelings might lead one to hesitate shooting a class enemy or denouncing one's parents. The word 'conscience' went out of use, replaced by 'consciousness' (in the sense of Marxist-Leninist ideological consciousness).
