President Biden's Special Envoy for Haiti Ambassador Daniel Foote resigned Thursday, saying he will not take part in the United States' "inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees," amid a surge in migrants from Haiti across the southern border.

In his resignation letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, first reported by PBS News Thursday, Foote said the Biden administration's approach to Haiti "remains deeply flawed," and said his recommendations have been "ignored and dismissed."
"With deep disappointment and apologies to those seeking crucial changes, I resign from my position as Special Envoy for Haiti, effective immediately. I will not be associated with the United States inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees and illegal immigrants to Haiti, a country where American officials are confined to secure compounds because of the danger posed by armed gangs in control of daily life.

"Our policy approach to Haiti remains deeply flawed, and my recommendations have been ignored and dismissed, when not edited to project a narrative different than my own."
Foote was appointed to his post in July, following the assassination of Haiti's president.

British convert Skripal-Sturgess inquest into novichok show and throw trial

It has not been proved that an unlimited number monkeys in a room with typewriters to match and an infinite amount of time would type the complete works of Shakespeare, or even one of the Bard's lines.

But the improbability of the infinite monkey theorem is nothing compared to the certainty which the British government, its judiciary, the Metropolitan police, and the combined forces of the London Bar proved on Wednesday in a room of the Royal Courts of Justice on The Strand. They proved that a troop of humans are making a monkey out of every principle of British justice and the criminal law — in order to advance the government's war against Russia.

On September 22, Dame Heather Hallett, the coroner in the inquest into the cause of death of Dawn Sturgess on July 8, 2018, officially ordered the prosecution of a crime without a defence; in a trial in which the verdict has already been declared by the judge herself and the prosecutors; in which the surviving victims of the alleged crime, Sergei and Yulia Skripal, are not allowed to testify and forbidden to appear in public at all; when the three Russians accused of the crime are not permitted to be represented in the proceeding; in which there will be no jury; and in which the evidence of the crime, the weapon, the intention and motive of the perpetrators will be presented in secret so that there can be no testing for truth, fabrication, or lie.

Hallett achieved all of this in the hearing lasting 100 minutes on Wednesday. A verbatim transcript of the hearing can be read here. A handful of British reporters attended, most of them by remote audio link. Jane Croft of the Financial Times and Ilya Dmitryachev of Tass were present; neither has yet to report.

On Wednesday, following the backlash regarding the means in which Border Patrol agents moved migrants in Del Rio with horses earlier this week, Representative Maxine Waters slammed the actions of the agents.

"What the hell are we doing here? What we witnessed takes us back hundreds of years. What we witnessed was worse than what we witnessed in slavery," said Waters.

"Cowboys, with their reins at hand whipping black people, Haitians, into the water where they're scrambling and falling down when allot here trying to do is escape from violence in their country," she continued.

A region in southern Poland has revoked a controversial anti-LGBT resolution over fears of losing funding from the European Union, making it the first to ditch its declaration of being an LGBT-free zone.

On Wednesday, the regional assembly of Świętokrzyskie voted in a special session to scrap the ruling, with 25 ministers voting in favor of removing the declaration. None opposed the notion, but three abstained.

The motion had been passed to mark the region's "opposition to the attempts to introduce LGBT ideology to local government communities and the promotion of this ideology in public life" in 2019.

'Political dialogue is non-existent within NATO,' France's defense minister says amid AUKUS deal snub

France's Defense Minister Florence Parly has called for a review of NATO's "strategic concept," stating that "dialogue is non-existent" within the bloc. The remarks come amid the ongoing scandal over the new AUKUS pact.

The defense minister spoke before France's Senate on Wednesday, with talk revolving almost exclusively around the fallout of the AUKUS (Australia, UK, US) deal. The agreement was announced last week, causing an uproar in Paris as it came along with Australia ditching a landmark submarine contract with France and opting to buy US-made nuclear submarines instead.

The hostile move is yet more proof of troubles in the transatlantic cooperation, Parly stated. "I am thinking of Turkish adventurism in the Mediterranean, or of the hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan in an uncoordinated manner," she added.
The attitude of the United States toward the submarine program is a further illustration of the observation that we have been making for months: today, political dialogue is non-existent within the Atlantic Alliance.

US President Joe Biden (L) talks with France's President Emmanuel Macron.
The French ambassador to the US, recalled recently over the AUKUS row, will return to Washington next week, President Emmanuel Macron has announced after a phone call with his US counterpart Joe Biden.

Biden phoned Macron on Wednesday to discuss last week's announcement of a new security pact between the US, UK and Australia - which resulted in France losing a multi-billion-dollar shipbuilding contract, among other things - and "agreed that the situation would have benefitted from open consultations among allies on matters of strategic interest to France and our European partners," according to a joint statement released by both the White House and the Elysee Palace.

Biden "conveyed his ongoing commitment" to such consultations, the statement said.

Comment: FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor Philip Turle gives his opinion of the situation:


As detailed in The AUKUS issue is not over by Andrei Martyanov, this desperate maneuver reveals that we seem to have reached a point where the pathocrats have begun to eat their own; whilst France may be part of the ponerized club, it's clearly not part of the Anglosphere clique.

As an aside, amidst the spat, Biden has been caught napping on the job, again, this time during a press conference with UK PM Boris Johnson. What follows is a cacophony of noise from White House reps calling for the press to leave the room because the meeting is suddenly over:

Opening US borders to illegal migrants amid Covid proves Democrats have no love for America, only for holding onto power

Today, it is easier for a migrant to walk into the US illegally than for a foreign tourist to enter legally. Illegal migration is not about human rights, but rather part of the woke agenda to stay in power.

The desperate scenes of squalor under the Del Rio International Bridge, where thousands of illegal migrants - many of whom are from Haiti - are huddling in makeshift shelters as they wait to be transported to cities around the country, should enrage every American. Aside from turning the United States into a Third World nation - the insanity is happening in the middle of a pandemic.

Even the duplicitous corporate media is beginning to ask some valid questions, but, as is its unfortunate wont, only after the proverbial bomb has already exploded in Uncle Sam's lap.

The myth of the "infallible elite"

The man behind the curtain would love you to believe he is great and powerful
A commenter BTL called Petra made this claim recently in regard to the conspirators behind 9/11 etc.
All glaring anomalies are deliberate examples of "revelation of the method" / "hidden in plain sight"...
She was referring to the fact Building 7 was so very obviously 'pulled'. Her thesis being the elites are basically infallible, literally incapable of human error and when they appear to goof or slip up and reveal their lies or fakery, this is all part of their plan.

They are gods essentially, not mortals, and whatever they reveal unto us will be what they choose us to know of their infinite power.

OK.

So, here's my reply to her.

I recall a true-crime show once where a total psychopath planned his wife's murder in meticulous detail. Gave her antifreeze by injecting it into an unopened coke bottle or something. Planned an alibi for when she died, covered his tracks.

Senate Democrats tapped a political operative bankrolled by George Soros to investigate debunked allegations that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia, claims that are now at the center of an indictment in Special Counsel John Durham's investigation.

According to court filings, a staffer for Sen. Jack Reed (D., R.I.) enlisted Daniel Jones — a former FBI agent who has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from Soros — to analyze computer data that purportedly connected Trump's real estate company with the Russian oligarch-owned Alfa Bank. Democrats pushed the allegation and others about Trump and Russia to build a narrative that Trump's campaign colluded with the Kremlin to steal the 2016 election. The FBI disproved the Alfa Bank claim, and Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence of a larger Trump-Russia conspiracy.

Two weeks ago, Fed Presidents Robert Kaplan and Eric Rosengren (and to a lesser, though still notable extent, Fed Chair Powell himself) were 'outed' for their multi-million-dollar stock and bond trades, sparking widespread outrage, bolstering claims that not only is the market rigged and manipulated by the Fed but that it is rigged directly for the benefit of Fed members like Kaplan and Rosengren who - whether they intended or not - benefited monetarily from their own decisions and their inside information that nobody else was privy to..
