"I submit to you that systemic racism is not the problem and critical race theory and reparations are not the answer."

California governor recall candidate Larry Elder told Fox News in a recent interview that he would back legislation that forbade critical race theory in California's schools.

His exact words being "My preference is for local school boards to decide what the curriculum is, but I think this is so bad and so insulting that I would look into some legislation like that."

Last week, there was a lawsuit announced by parents in San Diego disputing the requirement that students are obligated to chant and pray to Aztec gods as part of the curriculum.

Comment: If anyone can take out Newsom, it's Elder. His straight talk and no-nonsense delivery is just what's needed to eliminate a snake.

Trudeau calls Rebel News 'disinformation' responsible for stoking 'anger' in Canada

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau teed off on Rebel News journalist Tamara Ugolini after Wednesday's federal leadership debate after asking Trudeau why their news organization had to fight the federal government in court to ask him questions post-debate.

Trudeau held no punches, calling the Rebel a website that spreads "misinformation and disinformation" regarding COVID data.

Trudeau also said that the Rebel — which he refused to call a media organization — was "partly responsible" for the "polarization we see in this country."

Comment: When Trudeau says "I salute all extraordinary, hard-working journalists that put science and facts at the heart of what they do," what he really means is he salutes media organizations that stick with the script; the "tough questions" are only the ones that don't point out his administration's hypocrisy and stay within the assigned narrow range of thinking.

Russian space agency boss finally invites Elon Musk for tea to discuss 'universe, extraterrestrial life & preservation of life on Earth'

The head of Russia's space command has offered to sit down with billionaire tycoon Elon Musk, the founder of American rocket firm SpaceX, to discuss efforts to explore the universe and whether there's life on other planets.

Speaking to CNN as part of his first interview with Western media, Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said the South Africa-born entrepreneur was an example of how wealthy people should invest in important causes. Rogozin told the US outlet that "I like what your people are doing - people who spend their own money on things useful for overall society."

According to him, Musk "realizes many of the ideas and thoughts that we wanted to realize, but did not get to because, after the breakup of the Soviet Union, our space program halted for some time. We respect him as an organizer of the space industry, and as an inventor who is not afraid to take risks."

Comment: Is the apparent turnaround because Rogozin has suddenly realised that Musk is on to something with his technology, or that it could be a worthwhile PR stunt, or a bit of both?

American intelligence financed Ukrainian spy sting against purported Russian mercenaries set up & detained in Belarus, CNN alleges

The dramatic arrest of more than two dozen Russian 'mercenaries' in Belarus, last year, came as the result of an elaborate Ukrainian intelligence operation secretly backed and financed by American spy agencies, CNN has reported.

The broadcaster, which is known to have a close relationship with members of Washington's intelligence community, alleges that Kiev's spooks conspired to convince authorities in Belarus to arrest a group of 33 Russians last June on charges that they were planning to interfere in the country's upcoming elections. Three "former high-ranking Ukrainian military intelligence officials" are said to have revealed "how they orchestrated the extraordinary operation aimed at luring suspected war criminals out of Russia to face prosecution for atrocities committed in Eastern Ukraine."

According to CNN, the arrests, which damaged relations between Moscow and Minsk, were part of "an elaborate intelligence sting by Ukraine, with the knowledge and alleged support of the United States." Operatives reportedly posed as representatives from a private military company, offering large sums for non-existent security work, in an effort to lure mercenaries out of Russia. Ukrainian officers are said to have then sifted through the applications for those they believed to have fought in the country's bloody civil war alongside troops loyal to the two self-proclaimed Donbass republics.

Former Kiev intelligence officials who reportedly spoke to CNN alleged that "the Ukrainian-led operation got US cash, technical assistance, and advice from the CIA on how to draw the Russian mercenaries in." However, Washington has apparently denied these claims, saying any suggestions it was directly involved in the operation were "false." Instead, an unnamed American source seemingly told journalists that the country had been aware of the operation, but had not played an active part in it.

Comment: Ukraine continues to deny it, suggesting instead that CNN was "duped".
"Let's start with the fact that there are no factual references in the material at all. An anonymous source then spoke about a possible event," Podolyak said. "In the [United] States themselves, they absolutely denied any participation in any such special operations. What position should it be? We should formally enter into a dialogue with anonymous sources."

"Who could CNN journalists talk to in Ukraine? What are these anonymous people whose words were used? And how to verify that these 'anonyms' are not related to Russian interests and influence?" Podolyak said.
Touché! Even if CNN tells the truth, who would believe them?

Results of election canvassing in Arizona released: 173k missing votes, 96k ghost voters

Liz Harris Joined Steve Bannon's War Room to discuss her voter canvassing efforts in Arizona.

This canvass is being performed by a grassroots patriot group that does not take donations and is not affiliated with the Arizona Senate audit of Maricopa County.

They do not ask who voters voted for. Everything that they are doing is 100% legal.

Democrats in Arizona do this all year, every year.


The group has been canvassing statewide since December.

1) 34.23% of people who were recorded with no vote said they had voted. Where did these "lost votes" go?

2) 96,389 votes came out of addresses where the mail-in ballots could not have possibly been cast by the person that the vote was registered to. Where did these "ghost votes" come from?

Comment: Details on the findings:
*canvassed two precincts fully & large sections of precincts throughout the county. Interviewed more voters than 75% of towns/cities in America have residents. Sample falls within 95% scientific accuracy for extrapolations.

1) Votes Lost of Stolen - not recorded at county level - 173,104 - suggests a large swap-out, discarding, or over-scrutinization of votes, perhaps why it took 10 days to finalize election in Arizona? Similar findings from Matt Braynard's studies in AZ.

2) Ghost (Phantom) votes - non-existent voters with votes recorded - 96,389 - 1 out of 20 interviewed identified at least one phantom voter registered to their address.

3) Voting method does not match official record - Est. 30,000. Examples:
*Did not vote, but vote recorded
*Voted in person, but mail-in vote recorded instead

4) Liz proposes legislative action

5) 173,104 voted but not record + 96,389 ghost + 30,000 method
299,493 IMPACTED VOTES = 1/7th of the 2.089mm total, and this is the low-end estimate.

CONCLUSION: ELECTION IN MARICOPA MUST BE DECERTIFIED

Biden admin. erases records of the $83B-worth of weapons, training and aid given to Afghan armed forces since 2002

The Biden administration has begun scrubbing public records detailing the $82.9 billion U.S. investment in Afghanistan's armed forces to protect Afghan officials and military officers from Taliban reprisals.

Federal agencies have been told to remove information detailing the colossal investment from website as Afghanistan's new rulers show off their newly acquired hardware.

Taliban fighters stood aboard captured Humvees and armored SUVs as they paraded through Kandahar, where propaganda video has circulated of a Black Hawk flying overhead.

In all, they are believed to have seized an air force worth tens of millions of dollars although U.S. officials say aircraft were disabled before the departure of international troops.

The total amount of hardware supplied to Afghanistan is staggering. Between 2003 and 2016, the U.S. supplied 208 aircraft and almost 76,000 vehicles, along with 600,000 weapons, according to a 2017 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

But details of that weaponry is now disappearing under orders from the State Department.

DeSantis slams Fauci in fiery exchange at press conference

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed NIAID Director Anthony Fauci during a press conference on Tuesday after Fauci criticized recent remarks that DeSantis made.

DeSantis made the remarks when a reporter began to ask, "Governor, you recently said that unvaccinated individuals had no impact on numbers, and Dr. Fauci was quoted saying that — "

"That's not what I said. No, no, no, that's not what I said," DeSantis fired back.
"Not that I ever expect to be quoted properly. What I said was, if you're going to force vaccine mandates on people, just to understand that what the data is showing us about the vaccine, the data is showing us you're much less likely to be hospitalized or die if you're vaccinated. That is true. And I think you see it in the statistics."

"However, the vaccinations have not created herd immunity. So if the idea is that having herd immunity, you force everyone to do this, and that will create a herd immunity, that has not happened. It's still spreading. People who, I mean, obviously in Florida, we're going down now which is great, but that's not what the issue is, is it creating a herd immunity? Fauci also said if 50% were vaccinated, you would not see any surges anymore. Well, that isn't true. Look at obviously the Sunbelt, look in the Pacific Northwest, look at Hawaii, huge surges that you've seen."

In an interview with NPR's Morning Edition in December 2020, Fauci was asked by NPR's Rachel Martin how many Americans would need to get vaccinated to impact the number of COVID-19 infections. He replied, "I would say 50% would have to get vaccinated before you start to see an impact." He added that if "75 to 85%" got vaccinated, we could achieve "that blanket of herd immunity."

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

Comment: There is no comparison without accurate statistical information appropriately attributed to cause and function. Meanwhile, Fauci is the faucet for medical generalities, wishwashy advice and propaganda:
DeSantis, who has been vaccinated, acknowledged the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines in a press conference on Friday but insisted that whether an individual gets vaccinated "doesn't impact me or anyone else."

Fauci shot back on Tuesday.

"If [DeSantis] feels that vaccines are not important for people, that they're just important for some people, that's completely incorrect," Fauci told CNN's New Day.

"Vaccination has been the solution to every major public health issue in which a vaccine was developed for," Fauci said, pointing to smallpox and polio. "When you have a virus that's circulating in the community and you are not vaccinated, you are part of the problem because you're allowing yourself to be a vehicle for the virus to be spreading to someone else."

While DeSantis has boasted about Florida's vaccination numbers — the Sunshine State has administered thousands of more doses per 100,000 residents than its southeastern neighbors, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — he has also stressed the importance of personal choice in responding to the pandemic and boasted the efficacy of the monoclonal antibody treatment to fight infection rather than vaccine requirements.

"As much as I am happy to see vaccinated people get good protection against hospitalization and death, and it has been good, the fact is, it is spreading regardless of vaccination. That's just the reality," he said Friday.

"The vaccines have helped people ward off severe illness ... At the end of the day, though, it is what somebody — it's about your health and whether you want that protection or not. It really doesn't impact me or anyone else," he added.

Beginning in late June, new cases of COVID-19 spiked in numerous states and stressed hospitals, including in Florida, with health authorities blaming the surging delta variant. Cases have since begun to fall nationally, according to Our World in Data.

As of Tuesday, 62.5% of the total U.S. population have received at least one coronavirus vaccine dose, while 53.2% are fully vaccinated, CDC data shows.

The rise of the security-industrial complex from 9/11 to COVID-19

I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in — and the West in general — into an unbearable hell and a choking life. — Osama bin Laden (October 2001), as reported by CNN
9/11 to COVID-19
© The Washington Standard
What a strange and harrowing road we've walked since September 11, 2001, littered with the debris of our once-vaunted liberties. We have gone from a nation that took great pride in being a model of a representative democracy to being a model of how to persuade a freedom-loving people to march in lockstep with a police state.

Our losses are mounting with every passing day.

What began with the post-9/11 passage of the USA Patriot Act has snowballed into the eradication of every vital safeguard against government overreach, corruption and abuse.

The citizenry's unquestioning acquiescence to anything the government wants to do in exchange for the phantom promise of safety and security has resulted in a society where the nation has been locked down into a militarized, mechanized, hypersensitive, legalistic, self-righteous, goose-stepping antithesis of every principle upon which this nation was founded.

Set against a backdrop of government surveillance, militarized police, SWAT team raids, asset forfeiture, eminent domain, overcriminalization, armed surveillance drones, whole body scanners, stop and frisk searches, police violence and the like — all of which have been sanctioned by Congress, the White House and the courts — our constitutional freedoms have been steadily chipped away at, undermined, eroded, whittled down, and generally discarded.

The rights embodied in the Constitution, if not already eviscerated, are on life support.

Free speech, the right to protest, the right to challenge government wrongdoing, due process, a presumption of innocence, the right to self-defense, accountability and transparency in government, privacy, press, sovereignty, assembly, bodily integrity, representative government: all of these and more have become casualties in the government's war on the American people, a war that has grown more pronounced since 9/11.

Indeed, since the towers fell on 9/11, the U.S. government has posed a greater threat to our freedoms than any terrorist, extremist or foreign entity ever could.

Best of the Web: After decades of propaganda warfare and stealth invasion, the idea of a free America is hanging by a thread

The abandonment of Americans in Afghanistan foreshadows the abandonment of freedom-loving patriots in the American homeland

America has been playing with fire for years, disrespecting its Constitution and allowing, even encouraging politicians to pander to the fears of an ever-present boogieman over the higher values of individual freedom and responsibility.

Boogiemen are very effective tools in the arsenal of those waging psychological warfare against a nation. They are effective because a good boogieman usually brings legitimate scary qualities to the table.

Islamic terrorists are legitimately scary.

Invisible viruses that spread throughout the population are legitimately scary.

People are willing to give up freedoms under the illusion that it's only a temporary inconvenience. "Just go along and soon all will return to normal," they say.

After the attack that killed 2,900 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001, politicians came under pressure to "do something" to prevent another such attack by Islamic militants against innocent civilians.

Rather than just bombing the Taliban into oblivion and leaving its God-forsaken land, the politicians responded by occupying Afghanistan and launching a doomed effort to transform that nation into something it never wanted to be. At the same time they were failing at nation-building in Afghanistan, the politicians embarked upon sweeping extra-constitutional "reforms" here at home.

Engdahl: Has Biden now lost Saudi Arabia to Russia, China and the policies of stability?

F. William Engdahl
New Eastern Outlook
Mon, 06 Sep 2021 00:00 UTC
Russia deal with Arabia
The ignominious US withdrawal from Afghanistan has blown a global hole in the post-1945 American Century system of elaborate world domination, a power vacuum that likely will lead to irreversible consequences. The immediate case in point is whether Biden's Washington strategists — as he clearly makes no policy — have already managed to lose the support of its largest arms buyer and regional strategic ally, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Since the first days of Biden's inauguration in late January, US policies are driving the Saudi monarchy to pursue a dramatic shift in foreign policy. The longer-term consequences could be enormous.

Within their first week in office the Biden Administration indicated a dramatic shift in US-Saudi relations. It announced a freeze in arms sales to the Kingdom as it reviewed the Trump arms deals. Then in late February US intelligence issued a report condemning the Saudi government for the killing of Saudi Washington Post journalist Adnan Khashoggi in Istanbul in October, 2018, something the Trump Administration refused to do. That was joined by Washington's lifting the anti-Saudi Yemeni Houthi leadership from the US terrorist list while ending US military support to Saudi Arabia in its Yemen war with Iran-backed Houthi forces, a move that emboldened the Houthis to pursue missile and drone attacks on Saudi targets.

Post-911 Pentagon Policy

While Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has so far been careful to avoid a rupture with Washington, the motion of his feet since the Biden regime shift in January has been significant. At the center is a series of secret negotiations with former arch-enemy Iran, and its new President. Talks began in April in Baghdad between Riyadh and Teheran to explore a possible rapprochement.
