As House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) gets to work investigating the Biden administration for its many crises and mishandling of various issues, he's also trying to get to the bottom of President Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents — but he keeps running into the same non-transparent Biden administration that has frustrated Americans with its lack of candor and apparent attempts to paper over the scandal.

This week, Comer was set to hold a transcribed interview with the general counsel of the National Archives to get more information on Biden's mishandling of sensitive materials, the timeline for revelations of their existence, and other information to be able to understand what actually happened amid stonewalling attempts from the White House.

But just as the rest of the Biden administration has avoided being truthful with the American people — until revealing leaks to mainstream media outlets provide new details — Comer found that what seems like a cover-up by the Biden administration meant even he was unable to get the information he sought. In an interview on Fox News Channel's Hannity on Wednesday night, Comer explained what happened:
"Right before the National Archives came in, they handed us a letter from the Department of Justice informing them and us that the general counsel for the National Archives wasn't allowed to say anything about the Biden documents. But we had about a three-plus hour transcribed interview with the general counsel and what we learned was there is a double-standard here with how Donald Trump was treated versus Joe Biden."

Comment: The bigger the cover-up, the bolder the lies. The Biden crime family has perfected this over decades.

Israel is helping Ukraine by targeting Iran, Netanyahu tells Macron

Netanyahu and Macron spoke about Israel's reluctance to send weapons or an iron dome to Ukraine.

Israel's covert operations against Iranian targets ultimately help other countries including Ukraine, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told French President Emmanuel Macron as he sought to bolster his image as a supporter of Kyiv.

Netanyahu told Israeli reporters as he briefed them after the meeting:
"We operate independently against Iran at different levels, but this activity is also systematically aimed at degrading or harming Iran's capabilities against us. But of course, it also harms Iran's capabilities or reduces them in relation to other arenas."
He underscored his concern about Russia's growing military alliance with Iran, in which Moscow is arming Tehran and the Islamic Republic in turn is sending weapons of use against Ukraine. Some of the weapons it produces also pose a threat to Israel, so the Jewish state accomplishes two goals in working to eliminate them on the ground before they can be put into operation.

Netanyahu has highlighted the manner in which Israel's targeting of Iranian weapons has a positive impact on Ukraine as he has come under pressure to show the West, particularly the United States that he is standing strong with Kyiv.


Comment: Netanyahu: 'Look there not here'.


Comment: As the war in Ukraine dominates the news, Israel justifies self-fulfilling 'opportunities'.

In the first part of this series, I discussed the profound challenges a whistleblower faces when they break the code of silence held by the pharmaceutical industry. Nonetheless, a few people have been willing to make that sacrifice, and there is so much to learn from each of them. If you have not yet read it, I would highly recommend reading it first.

Because that code of silence has been in place for decades, the public is relatively unaware of what goes on within the industry. When insiders provide a window into that dark world, it is both shocking and difficult to believe. I had been working on this series for a while and felt that this was the time to release it because it helps create the context for both what Jordan Walker confided to Project Veritas about Pfizer and his surreal breakdown once he realized what he had done.

In this series, I chose to focus on Peter Rost, a pharmaceutical executive who, through a very odd set of circumstances, became a Pfizer Vice President (Pfizer typically never lets outsiders assume that role). Once appointed, he found himself in the very odd position of having to dig up as much dirt on Pfizer as possible to avoid getting fired. Rost witnessed the Pfizer company cruelly abusing his Pharmacia coworkers and to a lesser extent Pfizer's own employees (detailed in part 1); therefore, he was not opposed to unearthing information that incriminated Pfizer. Best of all, because Rost had been stripped of his work responsibilities, he had plenty of time to investigate his employer.

Comment: A long, but informative insider view to the scale and depth of the pharmaceutical industry's fraud and coercion.

Zelensky behind Macron's calls to Putin - Paris

French President Emmanuel Macron's phone calls with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, mainly took place "at the request of President Zelensky" of Ukraine, a spokeswoman for the French Foreign Ministry stated on Saturday. Zelensky has publicly declared that he will never speak to Putin in person, and has made peace talks with the Russian leader illegal.

"Mr. Macron calls President Putin mainly at the request of President [Vladimir] Zelensky, and always in coordination with our allies to maintain a channel for dialogue," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Anne-Claire Legendre said during an interview with RTVI.

Kiev has never admitted that Zelensky presses his Western backers into speaking to Putin, and the Ukrainian leader himself signed a decree in October forbidding negotiations with Moscow unless "another president of Russia" replaces the current Kremlin occupant. With negotiations officially off the table, Zelensky has repeatedly vowed to use force to seize Russian territory that is claimed by Ukraine, including Crimea.

Among Western leaders, Macron is one of a small minority who maintain contact with Putin. Both he and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have held regular phone calls with the Russian leader since Moscow's military operation in Ukraine began almost a year ago.

Legendre said that at some point "Ukrainians will decide that the time has come for negotiations. That is why we consider it useful to maintain this channel of dialogue."

US must get over its 'impunity syndrome' - Moscow

Washington shouldn't expect the world to forget that it fabricated its justification for the 2003 Iraq invasion, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told RIA Novosti on Saturday.

The Russian diplomat made the remark on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the now-infamous speech by then-US Secretary of State Colin Powell at the United Nations Security Council, during which he presented alleged evidence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, including biological ones.

To support his case, Powell exhibited a tiny vial of white powder, which was supposed to represent anthrax, and told the council that the US had no other choice but to go to war. However, no weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq.

Powell's UN stunt "has long become the epitome of hypocrisy and the conviction of the US ruling elite in its own impunity and its unchallenged right to arrogantly teach the rest of the world," Ryabkov stated. He added that it was also emblematic of Washington's willingness to "use force against an obviously weaker opponent in order to preserve its own global hegemony."

Comment: Nothing much has changed. The US is right on course to self-destruct.

US plans to 'quickly' boost military presence near China with 4 new bases in the Philippines

The US military will be deployed to four new bases in "strategic areas" of the Philippines, the two countries announced on Thursday. The agreement was reached during the ongoing visit of US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who met Philippine President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr in Manila.

The two nations are set to "accelerate the full implementation" of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), a framework regulating the deployment of US troops to the Philippines, which is listed among Washington's "major" non-NATO allies.

"The United States has allocated over $82 million toward infrastructure investments at the existing five sites under the EDCA, and is proud that these investments are supporting economic growth and job creation in local Philippine communities," the Pentagon said in a statement.

Comment: One wonders whether this would have been possible under former President Duterte who worked towards an independent foreign policy and better relations with Russia? Could this announcement that the Philippines not only wants to be a US vassal, but also to potentially sacrifice the safety of its people, have anything to do with its new leader, Bongbong Marcos, being the son of notorious former president and dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and former first lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos?

Washington's decision to supply Ukraine with longer-range missiles and allow Kiev to use them at will can only lead to further escalation, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said on Saturday. He added that the US appears to not want the Ukraine conflict to end.

In an interview with Russian journalist Nadana Fridrikhson, Medvedev denied that Ukrainian strikes against the Crimean peninsula would force Moscow to sit down at the negotiating table. "The result would be exactly the contrary. There would be no talks in such a case. There would only be retaliatory strikes," he warned .

Medvedev insisted that if Washington wanted peace in Ukraine, it could simply urge Kiev to engage in talks with Moscow, but that US President Joe Biden's administration and "hawks" in Congress are "simply not interested in it."

Best of the Web: The twisted logic behind the terror: Ukraine continuously shells civilian areas in Donetsk City

bombardement donetsk
Rockets have hit peaceful neighborhoods once again. Why does Kiev continue its policy, if not purely out of hate?

At least ten rockets hit central areas of Donetsk on Saturday morning, damaging three residential buildings, a local Russian official has reported in his Telegram channel.

One of the projectiles fired by Ukrainian forces hit an apartment building in the Kievsky district. While rescuers continue to search for survivors under the rubble, preliminary information suggests that there were three people in one of the apartments.

There was no information on casualties at the time of writing, but the absence of victims would be unusual; indeed, Ukrainian shelling of the capital of the Donetsk People's Republic intensified weeks before the Russian attack in February 2022, and has taken a heavy toll ever since.

Comment: It's a safe bet that there is strategy to their actions. But the Ukies are largely just rage-machines, the 'orcs' they project onto Russians. The real strategists with 'cooler heads' are their American and British NATO and intelligence commanders discretely directing operations.

It is up to the government in Kiev to decide how to use new rockets being delivered for the US-supplied HIMARS launchers, the Pentagon said on Friday. The statement is a confirmation that the latest batch of munitions the American taxpayers are funding will include Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDB).

The Boeing-manufactured munitions consist of a rocket motor mated with an airplane bomb, with an estimated range of up to 150 kilometers. While Friday's announcement listed "additional ammunition" for the HIMARS and "precision-guided rockets," Brigadier-General Patrick Ryder told reporters that this indeed included the GLSDB, confirming the information leaked to Reuters earlier this week.

Ryder also confirmed that the US won't stand in the way of Ukrainians using the missiles to strike deep inside Russia.

Hyperinflationary hell: Lebanese central bank has devalued 'lira' by 90%

Cash is now king in Lebanon, where a three-year economic meltdown has led the country's once-lauded financial sector to atrophy and turned the country into a Venezuelan-esque hyperinflationary hell. The country has been hit hard by events over the past few years, starting with COVID.

In August 2020, the city of Beiruit was practically destroyed by a massive blast which killed at least 200 people and triggered as much as $15 billion in damage...

In March 2021, violent protests erupted across Lebanon as the currency collapse accelerated and with it the economy and people's living standards.

And most recently, In December 2022, the Lebanese parliament failed for the eighth consecutive time to elect a new president, as a majority of lawmakers opposed the options laid on the table.

Comment: Is Lebanon the canary in the Western coal mine? Surely the amount of dollars sloshing around the world will dwarf Lebanon's problems should they all come flooding back into the U.S. What will happen when the majority of nations stop using the 'world's reserve currency'?
