The Biden administration is gearing up to carry out cyberattacks aimed at Russian networks, the New York Times has reported, describing the provocation as a retaliatory measure designed to send Moscow a message.

Citing officials familiar with the operation, the Times said that a "series of clandestine actions" aimed at Russia is expected to begin over the next three weeks and that the cyberattacks are intended to be "evident" to President Vladimir Putin and Russia's intelligence services, but not to the "wider world."

The attack will likely coincide with new economic sanctions against Moscow, as well as an executive order from President Joe Biden that would bolster security for US government networks.

President Joe Biden issued an executive order on "access to voting" on Sunday that instructs federal government agencies to promote voter registration, help Americans apply to vote by mail, and "combat misinformation," among other measures.

The "Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting" reads like a Democratic Party wish-list of "reforms" that enshrines many of the practices that were adopted on a temporary basis during the pandemic-affected 2020 election. Its provisions include:
  • using federal agencies to promote voter registration;
  • using federal agencies to inform Americans about voting;
  • linking federal agency websites to state voter registration websites;
  • providing voter registration and vote-by-mail applications;
  • using "approved, nonpartisan third-party organizations" to register voters at federal agencies;
  • using identification documents issued by the agency to help people register to vote;
  • providing more multilingual services to potential voters;
  • giving public employees "time off to vote in Federal, State, local, Tribal, and territorial elections"; and
  • promoting voter registration for federal prisoners.

Comment: None of these reforms matter if they still result in voter fraud. They are window dressings on the issue.

Tulsi Gabbard calls out the US dirty war on Syria that Biden, aides admit to

As Tulsi Gabbard criticizes former Congressional colleagues for ignoring the ongoing US dirty war and sanctions on Syria, a look at the comments of Joe Biden and top aides show that they have admitted to the same underlying, horrific facts. Gabbard only stands apart — and is even vilified — for being willing to call it out.

While Joe Biden has faced some mild Congressional pushback for bombing the Iraq-Syria border, Tulsi Gabbard says her former colleagues are ignoring the larger issue: the ongoing US dirty war on Syria. After a decade of proxy warfare that empowered Al Qaeda and ISIS, the US is now occupying one-third of Syria and imposing crippling sanctions that are crushing Syria's economy and preventing reconstruction.

While Gabbard has been vilified for her stance on Syria, many top White House officials — including Joe Biden himself — have already acknowledged the same facts that she has called out. Aaron Maté plays clips of Biden and some of his most senior aides admitting to the horrific realities of the US dirty war on Syria, and argues that Gabbard only stands apart in being wiling to criticize it.

Featuring clips from: Tulsi Gabbard, former Democratic Congressmember; President Joe Biden; Brett McGurk, National Security Council coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa; Martin Dempsey, former Joint Chiefs chairman; Rob Malley, Special Envoy for Iran; John Kerry, Special Envoy for Climate & former Secretary of State; former President Donald Trump; Alena Douhan, UN Special Rapporteur on Sanctions; Dana Stroul, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Middle East; Vice President Kamala Harris.

An internal government investigation has found that Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic and his family were illegally wiretapped over 1,500 times, and "high-ranking officials in the Ministry of the Interior" were involved.

The findings were announced by Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin after a meeting with the National Security Council, with the president declaring that an investigation had uncovered 1,572 examples of wiretapping conducted with no legal basis.

Vulin blamed "certain high-ranking officials in the Ministry of the Interior" for the "illegal" activity, suggesting it was a violation of the human rights of the president and his family. The ministry did not speculate on the officials' motivation.

Biden to formally establish new Gender Policy Council

President Biden will sign an executive order on Monday establishing the Gender Policy Council within the White House to focus on uplifting the rights of women and address gender-based discrimination and violence.

He will also sign an executive order directing the Department of Education to review the Title IX regulation issued by the Trump administration to determine whether it is consistent with the policy of the Biden administration that students be "guaranteed education free from sexual violence," administration officials said.

The orders come on International Women's Day and he will sign them alongside Vice President Harris, the nation's first female vice president.

Biden and Harris had announced plans before their inauguration in January to establish the Gender Policy Council.

"The council will have an explicit role in both domestic and foreign policy development," an administration official said. "We know that the full participation of all people, including women and girls across all aspects of our society, is essential to the economic wellbeing, health and security of our country and of the world."


Comment: These policies are not about "the economic wellbeing, health and security of our country and of the world" - but rather about using wokeness and ideological thinking to mask the totalitarian agendas and policies US citizens are now having rammed down their collective throats.


Comment: We'll say it again and again; these types of policies not only feed into a misplaced feeling of victimhood and self-entitlement in many instances, but unnaturally pit various groups one against the other. While a percentage of deluded individuals may be cheering all this on, what they do not realize is that the maws of complete and centralized control over their lives is, in fact, closing all around them.

"We'll level Tel Aviv": Iran responds to Israel 'preparing' strike plans against nuclear sites

Iran has responded to a Fox News interview from late last week wherein Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that Israel is currently updating its plans to strike Iran's nuclear program and is prepared to act independently if the United States is not willing. The interview was unusually blunt even for Israel in terms of the defense chief openly stating war plans.

Iranian Defense Minister Amir Hatami promptly fired back with a counterthreat on Sunday. He said Iran's military will level Tel Aviv and Haifa should Israel do anything "out of desperation".

"Sometimes, the Zionist regime [Israel] out of desperation makes big claims against the Islamic Republic of Iran to allegedly threaten it," Hatami said as cited in The Times of Israel via Iranian state media.

"It must know that if it does a damn thing, we will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground," he followed up with according to an English translation. Hatami was addressing a military ceremony.

Comment: It seems likely that, at some point in the not-too-distant future, Iran will be pushed too far by covert and overt Israeli aggression - so much so that it will feel justified in fulfilling its recent statements. For whatever reason(s), Israel seems absolutely determined to bring Iran to its knees. And for more understandable reasons, Iran is absolutely determined to remain sovereign, intact, and responsive to the forces committed to crushing the Persian nation.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Friday said that Joe Biden will hold a full press conference by the end of the month.

It has been 45 days since Joe Biden was sworn into office after stealing the 2020 election and he still hasn't held a press conference or given a State of the Union Address and the media thinks this is totally normal.

Joe Biden can hardly string a sentence together because of his severe cognitive decline, but the media keeps covering for him.

UK PM claims reopening schools with masks and swab tests twice a week 'a step towards normality'

school coronavirus uk
The reopening of England's schools to all pupils on Monday will mark the first step back towards normality, and is only possible because of the efforts of the public to bring COVID-19 infection rates down, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said.

Johnson has announced a roadmap for lifting lockdown measures that sees schools open first, followed in later stages by the gradual easing of restrictions on mixing with other people and the re-opening of non-essential shops and other venues.

In the final stage, which will take place no earlier than June 21, the government hopes to remove all remaining legal limits on contact with others.


Comment: However, with furlough extended into September, it seems highly likely that the government is planning on reintroducing lockdown come autumn - if it's ever lifted, of course: Lockdown without end?


Comment: Welcome to the new normal:

The review, led by retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, also calls for a Quick Response Force to cost as much as $130 million a year.

The U.S. government should have a 24/7 "Quick Reaction Force" of National Guardsmen or federal law enforcement officers at the U.S. Capitol, according to the review of the Jan. 6 riot ordered by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and led by retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré.

The recommendation and others are included in a 13-page draft report first obtained by Fox News. Thousands of National Guard troops remain at the Capitol Hill complex, which has raised sharp debate across the country about whether — or how long — much of the nation's capital will remain on lockdown.
