White House doubles down on Jan 6 lies, claims 'Tucker Carlson is not credible'

Karine Jean-Pierre Tucker Carlson
During Wednesday's White House press conference, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Fox News' Tucker Carlson "not credible," citing his recent unveiling of previously unseen footage from the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots.

Responding to a reporter's request that she comment on Carlson's latest broadcasts, as well as comment on the ongoing lawsuit Dominion Voting Systems has brought against Fox News "which has turned up evidence that there may have been falsehoods in the in the reporting that they did around the election," Jean-Pierre said, "Tucker Carlson is not credible."


Comment: Both the American political apparatus and the MSM have more or less declared Tucker Carlson Public Enemy #1, and they're out for blood! Also from the Post Millennial:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday agreed to go on Tucker Carlson's show, on the condition that he "admits" to "lying" about the 2020 elections and January 6, after his public meltdown over the Fox News host obtaining the footage from the Capitol protests that paints a different story than "insurrection."

"I was invited on Tucker Carlson's show," the New York senator wrote on Twitter. "I will agree to go on after Tucker Carlson admits to his viewers live on air that he has been lying to them about the 2020 elections and about what happened on January 6th."


... After beginning to air the footage on Monday night, Schumer went ballistic on the Senate floor and demanded that Fox News stop sharing the footage — which had previously only been available to the Jan. 6 Committee and law enforcement — with the public.

"Last night, millions of Americans tuned into one of the most shameful hours we have ever seen on cable television," Schumer said Tuesday. "With contempt for the facts, disregard for the risks, and knowing full well he was lying to his audience, Fox News host Tucker Carlson ran a segment last night arguing the January 6 Capitol attack was not a violent insurrection. By diving deep into the waters of conspiracy, and cherry picking from thousands of hours of footage, Mr. Carlson told the bold-faced lie that the Capitol attack, which we all saw with our own eyes, somehow, was not an attack at all."

"I, and so many others who were here in the Capitol, and millions and millions of Americans, are just furious," Schumer continued, before revealing that someone told him he was being targeted by rioters. "Let's get him!" Schumer remembers someone telling him a rioter said.

The Democratic senator went on to call for Carlson's censorship, saying that "Fox News should tell him not to" run another segment with more footage.

"Fox News, Rupert Murdoch, tell Carlson not to run a second segment of lies," he continued, calling on the owner of Fox Corporation. "You know it's a lie, you've admitted it's a lie. And Speaker McCarthy is every bit as culpable."

In the replies to his tweet to Carlson, former OANN host Liz Wheeler wrote, "As a U.S. Senator, you called for a journalist to be censored because he exposed your lies about Jan 6. It wasn't a deadly insurrection. Officer Sicknick wasn't murdered. Ray Epps lied under oath. No wonder 61 percent of Americans think Jan 6 was staged by feds. You should be ashamed."

Mitch McConnell rushed to hospital after falling at hotel

mitch mcconnell
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has been hospitalized in Washington, DC after a fall Wednesday night.

His spokesman David Popp told Fox News that McConnell, 81, was attending a private dinner at a hotel and tripped.

According to a statement from McConnell's team, "This evening, Leader McConnell tripped at a local hotel during a private dinner. He has been admitted to the hospital where he is receiving treatment."

Comment: More from Newsweek:
McConnell's injury is the latest incident of a Senate member requiring hospital treatment. Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, 89, was taken to hospital last week to be treated for shingles, with Pennsylvania's John Fetterman, 53, who suffered a stroke during his campaign in 2022, currently being treated for clinical depression.

No other details about McConnell's fall have been released, including how long he is expected to remain in the hospital.

McConnell was dining at the Waldorf Astoria when he fell, according to a tweet from John Bresnahan, co-founder of political daily Punchbowl News, who first reported on the news.

The Senate minority leader, a survivor of childhood polio, is one of oldest lawmakers currently serving in the Senate.
It's interesting that this comes about right after McConnell stood alongside Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in condemning Tucker Carlson for releasing January 6th footage to the public, asserting his membership to the UniParty.

Dana Hyde, 55, was flying from Maryland to New England and suffered blunt-force injuries from violent turbulence.

A former official in the Bill Clinton and Barack Obama White Houses died last Friday after the private business jet that the prominent Washington attorney was on experienced stability issues and encountered severe turbulence mid-flight.

The National Transportation Safety Board has since started investigating "a reported trim issue that occurred prior to the in-flight upset" that affected the plane's altitude control and may have caused the instability.

House intel committee OKs bill to declassify COVID-19 origin report

The House Intelligence Committee
© CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty ImagesThe House Intelligence Committee passed its version of a Senate-approved bill that would force the Biden administration to declassify information about the origins of COVID-19.
The House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday passed its version of a Senate-approved bill that would force the Biden administration to declassify information about the coronavirus' origins — including its ties to a Chinese lab.

Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines would be required to declassify "any and all information relating to potential links between the Wuhan Institute of Virology" and COVID-19, as well as "make available to the public as much information as possible" regarding the virus' origin, according to the bill.

The committee approved the legislation with a bipartisan voice vote Tuesday in which no one dissented. It will now go to the House floor for a vote, then to President Biden's desk for his signature.

Comment: It seems as though this "search for truth," no matter how sincere, is doomed to failure since it firmly adheres to the assumption that China is responsible for the origin of Covid-19. Whether or not China was ground zero, assuming they're to blame is a self-limiting perspective. Without looking at the Fort Detrick connection and the American's presence at the Wuhan Military Games, any 'revelations' will be a partial truth at best.

Yacht allegedly used in Nord Stream bombing searched - official

thank you usa nord stream
German authorities searched a boat in January which they suspect transported explosives ahead of the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines in September last year, the country's Prosecutor's Office said on Wednesday.

A spokesperson for the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office confirmed that a search had taken place earlier this year, adding that authorities were still evaluating the items seized. The identities of the people allegedly associated with the rental of the vessel, as well as their potential motives, remained unclear, the official added, as quoted by German media.

On Tuesday, German state broadcaster ARD, SWR radio and Die Zeit newspaper claimed that investigators looking into the incident had found that the yacht reportedly used in the attack belonged to a Polish company "apparently owned by two Ukrainians."

According to Die Zeit, a "secret operation" to destroy the pipelines was undertaken by a team of six people - five men and one woman. Their nationalities are unknown, the paper said, as they used forged passports to rent the ship. The publication also stated that authorities had reviewed information which may have suggested that a "pro-Ukrainian group" was responsible.

Comment: This smells like a diversion from the more likely scenario, as reported by Sy Hersh (and refined by John Helmer), that it was a Western intel operation. This is the cover story.

Australia has been selling China 'doped' gold for years, could be forced to return up to $9 billion, Perth Mint also faces separate fraud investigations

Up to $9billion worth of gold that the Perth Mint sold to China could be recalled after it was discovered some bars were diluted with other metals.

The WA government-owned mint, which is the largest refiner of newly mined gold in the world, started 'doping' its gold in 2018 - a process which involves mixing in silver or copper while still keeping the purity above 99.99 per cent.

While the product met widely accepted standards on the global gold market, up to 100 tonnes of bullion shipped to China potentially falls short of the more stringent standards of the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE).

Some of the gold the SGE tested from Perth Mint exceeded the allowable silver content.

Covid 'not deadly enough' to justify risk of fast-track vaccines, Chris Whitty told government

COVID-19 was not dangerous enough to justify cutting short vaccine trials as the vaccine had to be "very safe", Chris Whitty advised the Government in the early weeks of the outbreak, it has emerged.

Writing on WhatsApp on February 29th 2020, the Chief Medical Officer told Government figures: "For a disease with a low (for the sake of argument 1%) mortality a vaccine has to be very safe so the safety studies can't be shortcut. So important for the long run."

The estimate of 1% turned out to be an overestimate, as the infection fatality rate in Europe and the Americas was found to be 0.3-0.4%.

Chief Scientist Patrick Vallance agreed with this advice and wrote that existing drugs should be relied on instead: "Agree, existing drugs best things to try for this outbreak. Accelerate vaccine testing where we have good candidates for future, and prepare for manufacturing capacity for longer term."

Truly sovereign states are no longer afraid of 'Western diktat,' Dmitry Medvedev says...

Russia is ready to help the world do away with the vestiges of a Western-dominated colonial past, former president Dmitry Medvedev has claimed. The official argued that as a nation "which has never had any colonies," Russia is well-placed to take part in this process.

In an article published on Monday, Medvedev claimed that "geopolitical turbulence has cut open an abscess of the old problems of our world." The ex-president and now deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, argued that:
the "malignant tumor of a colonial past" is a problem that calls for "international surgery."

"We, together with other countries, can now drive the final nail in the coffin of the Western world's neo-colonial aspirations," Medvedev proclaimed in the piece, posted on the United Russia party website. He noted that the Soviet Union played a major role in dismantling the colonial system of the 20th century.

China presses for Covid origins probe in US

Washington has ignored concerns over its "bio-military bases" both at home and abroad, Beijing said...

The World Health Organization (WHO) should launch a new investigation into the origins of Covid-19 in the United States, China has said, rejecting charges by Washington that the deadly pathogen escaped from a high-security virology lab in Wuhan.

Asked about recent comments by WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus - who called on China and other nations to be "transparent in sharing data" regarding the genesis of the health crisis - Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning insisted:
"Beijing has shared more data and research findings than any other country and contributed the most on origins-tracing. Tracing the origins of the virus is a matter of science. This study should be and can only be conducted jointly by scientists around the world."
Mao told reporters on Monday:
"The US government has only hampered those efforts by politicizing, weaponizing and instrumentalizing the issue. We hope the WHO Secretariat will take a science-based, objective and just position, not let politicization get in the way, and carry out the origins-tracing study in the US, among other countries, and play a positive role in science-based global origins-tracing."

Comment: The United States of Deflection has 'nobody' fooled. China knows.

US spies say 'pro-Ukrainian group' bombed Nord Stream - NYT

Anonymous agents cited unspecified intelligence to deny US responsibility for the pipeline attack...

Unspecified new intelligence "suggests that a pro-Ukrianian group" was behind the September 2022 attack on Nord Stream pipelines, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, quoting anonymous US officials.

The Times' unnamed sources said they "believed the saboteurs were most likely Ukrainian or Russian nationals, or some combination of the two" and that "no American or British nationals were involved." They further said they had no evidence Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky or his "top lieutenants" were involved, or that the "any Ukrainian government officials" directed the attack.

The anonymous officials and said it was possible the attack "might have been conducted off the books by a proxy force with connections to the Ukrainian government or its security services."

Comment: Occam's razor: The Biden administration is 'a pro-Ukrainian' entity with motive and wherewithal to approve, if not conduct, the sabotage.
