Build Back Better Act: Massive Dem spending bill includes enormous immigration provisions

Biden Build back better
The House version of the Democratic spending bill due to be voted on later this month includes a number of sweeping immigration provisions -- even as the chances of them passing the Senate appear to be shrinking.

The House version of the Build Back Better Act, a $1,750,000,000,000 ($1.75 trillion) spending package that Democrats are trying to get through both chambers without needing Republican support, includes a number of provisions on both legal and illegal immigration.

Perhaps most significantly is a provision that would allow for a parole period until 2031 to an estimated 6.8 million illegal immigrants if they were present in the country before 2011.

Current law says that parole can be used on a case-by-case basis for "urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit" but the Biden administration has been using that power in a much broader fashion. It would allow illegal immigrants not only protection, but also the ability to obtain travel and work permits, as well as state ID.

Drone attack targets residence of Iraqi premier in Baghdad

The damage of a drone attack at the home of Iraq's Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi.
Officials in Iraq said Sunday that a drone with explosives targeted the residence of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi.

The government-affiliated Security Media Network said the premier has no injuries and he is in good health.

Security forces continued to take precautions, it added.

Khadhimi said on Twitter that he is fine and with his family. He urged everyone to stay calm.

Comment: RT reports:
The purported assassination attempt against Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi involved three drones, the nation's Interior Ministry has said, branding the act a "terrorist attack."

Two of the drones that targeted Al-Kadhimi's residence in Baghdad's Green Zone were downed and one reached the house, the ministry said. Some members of his security detail were injured, but the senior official was unharmed.

The prime minister made a brief televised appearance after the attack on his home, praising the security forces for "working to stabilize Iraq" and declaring that "cowardly missiles and drones do not build nations."

Some of his critics suspect the incident was a false flag meant to distract public attention from the crackdown on protesters. A senior Iranian official claimed the attack could be traced to "foreign think tanks" seeking to destabilize Iraq.
The U.S. has offered to assist in the investigation:
Shortly after the Iraqi prime minister's residence in Baghdad was hit by what Iraq's Security Media Cell said was a "booby-trapped drone," the US State Department released a statement decrying the attack and offering to help the investigation.

"We are relieved to learn the Prime Minister was unharmed," State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Sunday, calling the incident an "act of terrorism, which we strongly condemn."

Price added that the State Department is "in close touch with the Iraqi security forces charged with upholding Iraq's sovereignty and independence," and said the US "offered our assistance as they investigate this attack."

"Our commitment to our Iraqi partners is unshakeable. The United States stands with the government and people of Iraq."
Turkey also condemned the attack. To date, no one has taken responsibility for the bombing.

Durham's latest indictment: More lines drawn pointing to Clinton's campaign

durham danchenko steele dossier russiagate

Igor Danchenko (L) John Durham (R)
"To my good friend ... A Great Democrat." Those words written to a Russian figure in Moscow, inside a copy of a Hillary Clinton autobiography, may be the defining line of special counsel John Durham's investigation. The message reportedly was written by Charles Dolan, a close Clinton adviser and campaign regular whom news reports identify as the mysterious "PR-Executive 1" in the latest Durham indictment, this time of Igor Danchenko.

Danchenko, 43, was a key figure in the compilation of the infamous Steele dossier that led to the now discredited investigation of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government during the 2016 presidential race. But Danchenko, a Russian emigre living in the U.S., seems unlikely to be the Durham investigation's apex defendant. In fact, Durham describes him at points more like a shill than a spy, an "investigator" who was fed what to report by Clinton operatives such as Dolan.

A supporter of former President Mikhail Saakashvili in Tbilisi.
Protesters are poised to target government buildings in Georgia and cause traffic chaos in the capital, Tbilisi, at the direction of jailed ex-president Mikhail Saakashvili, the ex-Soviet country's security service has alleged.

The warning about a brewing Maidan-style coup in Tblisi came on Saturday from Georgia's State Security Service. It said supporters of the former president have planned disruptive protests in the capital starting this weekend.

The protesters will allegedly block government buildings, major roads, and the prison in which Saakashvili is currently serving his sentence, the statement said. The organizers "are actively discussing the possibility" of recruiting "certain officers of law enforcement agencies" and the "assassination of one of the leaders of the opposition," it claimed.

Comment: Saakashvili is a fool, but seems to have more lives than an alley cat. What does the West see in this guy?

There is no science to vaccinating children against Covid-19. And yet governments globally continue rolling out vaccines for children, pressuring both parents and children into getting them.

Meanwhile, for the first time since the so-called pandemic began in early 2020, there has been a rise in all-cause excess deaths in under-50s in both the US and Europe. Joe and Niall investigate this mystery in their latest NewsReal...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
More than 70 flights transporting migrants from the southern border to Jacksonville have landed in the dark of night in recent months as the Biden administration struggles to empty overflowing border facilities, the office of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said.

It is the first time the state of Florida has disclosed the number of confirmed flights arriving in the state since the summer. The governor's office has scrambled in recent weeks to uncover who is facilitating the mystery flights landing in northern Florida daily, but the Biden administration has refused to disclose any information, one official said.

The latest offensive & defensive developments in the US' hybrid war on Ethiopia

Everything has suddenly intensified in Ethiopia due to the strategically timed convergence of the various components connected to the US' Hybrid War against that country.

Military Offensives

Ethiopia is facing an unprecedented Hybrid War onslaught comprised of military, political, economic, and information components which requires a comprehensive strategy for countering. Everyone is bracing for a large-scale battle sometime in the coming future due to the Tigray People's Liberation Front's (TPLF) advance towards the capital of Addis Ababa over the past few days and the federal government's subsequent promulgation of a state of emergency. This terrorist-designated group is tacitly supported by the US through indirect means via the provisioning of material assistance to it through corrupt UN forces and Washington's equating of the TPLF with the internationally recognized Ethiopian government on the political front. This backing emboldened them to invade the neighboring Afar and Amhara Regions over the summer following the military's withdrawal from the Tigray Region that was carried out in support of the government's unilateral ceasefire declaration at the time, continue committing war crimes with scant international criticism, and thus threaten the very existence of the Ethiopian state.

Comment: Images from a mass rally against TPLF in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, today:





Judging by the mainstream media reports and commentary coming out of the Western establishment, it is indeed looking like regime change efforts are afoot: Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Why You Should Question Media Reports About China 'Causing Covid' And 'Invading Taiwan'

Clinton-FBI Russiagate Hoax: The Danchenko Indictment and the Steele Dossier

Neither Trump nor Putin had anything to do with Russiagate
There are many clear and implied takeaways from the U.S. indictment of Igor Danchenko available to see for those with wide eyes open. Danchenko was the main source for the now debunked Steele Dossier that Democrat operatives from the Clinton Campaign, Clinton's campaign law firm Perkins Coie, and the FBI, which all overlapped in the attempt to imprison innocent Americans and Paul Manafort on false Russia collusion charges, steal the 2016 presidential election and cripple the presidency of Donald Trump. The dossier became the key data point the FBI used to secure a series of FISA warrants to surveil the Trump campaign. Again, I am no Trump supporter as my previous articles on Trump demonstrate, but the law is the law. Obama, the Clintons, and Biden attempted to subvert the American republic far beyond anything Nixon or the Patriot Act ever approached. This becomes increasingly clear on almost a daily basis with a daily flow of documented evidence regarding machinations from the dossier, to the DNC hack, to the 2020 election fraud, to the FBI-led false flag op of 6 January 2021. But let's stick to the indictment for now.

Estonian soldiers mistakenly open fire on UK forces in Mali

Comment: Such an impasse is almost impossible, unless a group of NATO forces 'goes native'...

Estonian soldiers serving at the Gao military base in Mali mistakenly opened fire on British soldiers who did not follow security protocols when approaching the base, no one was injured, Estonian media reported on Saturday.

The incident occurred when a minibus with British soldiers approached the military base, Postimees newspaper said. Estonian soldiers guarding the base opened fire on the vehicle because the UK allies did not inform the base personnel of their approach in advance as stipulated by the rules, the newspaper noted.

The Estonian defense forces spokesman Taavi Karotamm confirmed to Postimees that the incident took place and stressed that the Estonian soldiers strictly followed all the rules and security procedures. He added that no one was injured in the shooting.

Comment: Whilst France is in the region claiming to be working on an anti-insurgency operations, a number of French executives were recently indicted for supporting African dictatorships, with allegations going back decades.

One wonders, of course, whether Estonian soldiers mistook the British ones for terrorists because they were disguised as such. 'Mystery gunmen' have been attacking local state military forces all across the Sahel this week.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was spotted dancing without a mask on Friday in what appeared to be an indoor area in Puerto Rico, despite a government mask mandate.

Schumer traveled to the island, along with other high-profile New York politicians, for the annual SOMOS Puerto Rico Conference to help advance Latino representation in the state's government.

"Schumer is feeling the music at Somos," New York Times reporter Emma Fitzsimmons said in a Friday night tweet with a video of the senator dancing.
