With the world turning against Belarus' administration, the country's multilateral foreign policy is no longer in line with its objectives, according to the chairman of Minsk's parliamentary commission on International Affairs.

Andrei Savinykh believes that the rapidly changing situation in Belarus and the deterioration of the government's relationship with the West means that the country should officially pivot east and focus on improving its ties with Russia, and other Eastern states.
"From my point of view, today there are already sufficient grounds to assert that a multilateral policy ... no longer provides the external conditions we need for the favorable development of Belarus."
In his opinion, Belarus' "top priority" should now be "strengthening political, economic and military relations with Russia, within the framework of the Union State." The MP also noted that the country should focus on its relationships with China, India, Iran, Turkey and Vietnam, to help the country become part of a "Eurasian macroregion."

Comment: Belarus will be better valued and less 'used' by aligning with Russia and China.

Pseudonymous commentator who called pandemic a 'massive fraud' revealed to work for Fauci

Former infantry officer, CGSC grad and Army Operations Center alumnus.
RedState member since 2004."
A harsh critic of the federal government's response to the coronavirus has been revealed to work as a public affairs specialist for the government health agency headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci.

William Crews, who has been editing and writing for the conservative site RedState under the pseudonym "streiff," has railed against his colleagues at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, accusing them of being part of an anti-Trump conspiracy. He has also called Fauci, the government's top infectious disease expert and the director of the NIAID, "attention-grubbing" and "media-whoring," the Daily Beast reported on Monday.

Comment: William Crews is the best sort of whistleblower. More from the Daily Beast article:
"I have worked in the CDC and seen the politicization up close," he wrote in July. "It is a hotbed of progressive activity. It also has more than its share of idiots. And 90% of the people who work there should be named Karen. They desperately want to manage your life."

Crews' stint at the CDC appears to have occurred prior to his current role at NIAID. Various news reports in 2006 quote "Bill Crews" as the agency's spokesperson. According to three sources familiar with RedState's internal operations, it was generally known among the site's contributors that Crews worked in the federal government, though the specific agency wasn't as widely known. One source recalled speculating that Crews worked at a public health agency given the familiarity he appeared to have with the policies emanating from such agencies.

Even prior to the coronavirus pandemic, Crews used his perch at RedState to write about his employer, often disparagingly. In a pair of posts in 2014, he criticized NIH over alleged research misconduct and for its response to the Ebola outbreak (during which he also criticized Fauci specifically).

Lavrov: US playing 'very reckless' games with Kurdish separatists in Syria, risks exploding entire Middle Eastern region

Washington must think beyond the upcoming US presidential vote and keep the future of the Middle East in mind when its encourages separatism in Syria's Kurdish population, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned.

After almost a decade-long bloody civil war, peace has been restored on almost all Syrian territory, Lavrov said in a lengthy and exclusive interview with the Dubai-based broadcaster Al Arabiya. "The military confrontation between the government and the opposition is over," he pointed out, adding that "only two hotbeds" now remain in the country.

The first one was northwestern Idlib province, where the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group is holed up. However, the territory that the militants control "is shrinking," the minister said. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham is a rebranding of the Al-Nusra Front, an Al-Qaeda offshoot, which had been one the largest and most violent groups during the Syrian conflict.
And the second hotbed is the eastern bank of the Euphrates River, where the illegal presence of the American troops is combined with the Americans promoting separatist trends, playing with the Kurdish guard in a very reckless manner, I would say.

Appointing a God-fearing mother of seven to the US Supreme Court is freaking out America's libtards

Judge Amy Coney Barrett will likely be the next nominee to the Supreme Court. This has upset those on the left who take issue with her Catholicism and strict adherence to the Constitution.

Following the recent death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who served as a justice on the American Supreme Court for many years, interest in her replacement is massive given that it is an election year.

It has already been reported that Amy Coney Barrett has visited President Trump and will likely be his next nominee to the Supreme Court. Mrs Barrett has been a long-time judge and teacher, is a mother of seven, a devout Catholic, and a constitutional originalist. There was even a point when she was a member of the Federalist Society, which is a group of conservative and libertarian advocates for constitutional originalism. In fact, she was a law clerk for the late Antonin Scalia, who may be one of the most famous originalists to ever sit on the Supreme Court.

Comment: From The Hill:
Trump is expected to name his choice for the vacancy on Friday or Saturday, saying he plans to wait until Ginsburg's memorial services conclude.

Barrett was a favorite among conservatives in 2018 when Trump was mulling who to nominate to fill then-Justice Anthony Kennedy's seat before he ultimately went with Brett Kavanaugh. She remains popular among many Republican senators and conservative groups, and sources said she has an advantage having gone through the vetting process once before.

Trump said he plans to meet with at least a few of the candidates in person. The president said he "may" meet with Lagoa later this week when he is in South Florida.

"She has a lot of support," Trump said of Lagoa. "I don't know her, but I hear she's outstanding. And she's one of the people we're looking at."

Barrett, a former clerk for late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, was nominated by Trump to serve on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017. She was confirmed in a 55-43 vote by the Senate later that year. At the time, three Democratic senators supported her nomination: Joe Donnelly (Ind.), who subsequently lost his 2018 reelection bid, Tim Kaine (Va.) and Joe Manchin (W.Va.).
Might Trump be considering a bait-and-switch on the hysterical mob? Barbara Lagoa would tick TWO of their beloved 'victim' boxes. Also from The Hill:
Lagoa, 52, serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. Lagoa was the first Hispanic woman to serve on the Florida Supreme Court, a position to which she was nominated by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Trump ally.

Democrats are on a rampage after President Trump announced he intends to fill the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat on the Supreme Court before the next election, and they intend to go all out to prevent it from happening.

There have been many threats, including those of civil war, arson, riots, and more, as Democrats are refusing a new high court nomination to move forward until the November election has taken place.

"I will be putting forth a nominee next week. It will be a woman," President Trump told supporters at a campaign rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Saturday evening, Sept. 19.

"It will be a woman — a very talented, very brilliant woman," said the president. "We haven't chosen yet, but we have numerous women on the list," reported Fox News.

The US Virgin Islands Attorney General has subpoenaed 21 years' worth of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs, reportedly striking fear in the hearts of high-profile passengers not yet exposed as Lolita Express riders.

Passenger logs for Epstein's four helicopters and three planes have been subpoenaed by Virgin Islands AG Denise George, who recently sued the disgraced financier's estate for 22 counts including human trafficking, child abuse, neglect, prostitution, aggravated rape, and forced labor, according to a Sunday report by the UK Mirror.

In addition to the passenger lists, George has requisitioned "complaints or reports of potentially suspicious conduct" and any "personal notes" the pilots made while flying Epstein's alleged harem of underage girls around the world. She also wants the names and contact information of anyone who worked for the pilots - or who "integrated with or observed" Epstein and his passengers.

Five major banks (Bank of New York Mellon, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JPMorgan and Standard Chartered) processed trillions of dollars of transactions identified as suspicious, a new ICIJ report reveals.

The International Consortium for Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has released the results of an investigation based on more than 2,100 so-called suspicious activity reports (SARs) filed by banks and financial institutions with the US Department of Treasury's Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN) between 1999 and 2017. The SARs were obtained by Buzzfeed News and shared with the ICIJ.

Best of the Web: President Trump is fighting hard against sex trafficking, and the mainstream media hates it

President Trump recently announced $35 million in new Justice Department grants to organizations that provide safe housing for victims of sex trafficking, and the mainstream media hates it.

Anyone with an ounce of compassion for their fellow human beings should be able to see that fighting a heinous crime that affects tens of thousands of victims in the United States every year, over half of whom are minors, is exactly the sort of thing that federal law enforcement should be doing. But to mainstream media reporters such as the New York Times' Kevin Roose, taking a stand against human trafficking and pedophilia is apparently a "bat signal" to conspiracy theorists.

It saddens me to see members of the media defend pedophiles and sex traffickers just to take a jab at the president. Having experienced unspeakable acts of sexual violence myself for years, starting just before my 13th birthday, this is deeply personal to me.

Comment: If Trump really is serious about draining the swamp, going after pedophiles is a good place to start. With the amount of scum and villainy in the upper echalons who have their tentacles in that world, he's bound to get two birds with one stone.

Secret Service intercepts package addressed to President Trump containing deadly ricin UPDATE: Suspect detained; Chemical and Biological teams deployed in Quebec; 6 letters sent

ricin trump
Law enforcement have intercepted a package containing the incredibly deadly poison, ricin. The package was sent to the White House and addressed to President Trump.

CNN reports that the package was intercepted earlier this week and subjected to two rounds of testing. Law enforcement from the Secret Service and FBI confirmed that the substance in the package was the highly potent poison, ricin.

Comment: UPDATE: A suspect has been detained. From RT:
Authorities detain suspect who allegedly sent package containing deadly RICIN poison to President Trump
20 Sep, 2020 22:49

A woman suspected of sending a letter containing the deadly poison ricin to President Donald Trump was detained by US Customs and Border Patrol agents as she tried to enter the country from Canada.

The suspect was not officially identified. NBC News reported her apprehension on Sunday, citing an unnamed US law enforcement official. The letter was sent to Trump at the White House but was intercepted by law enforcement. White House mail is screened at an off-site facility.

Tests confirmed that the substance in the letter contained ricin, a poison made from the husks of castor beans that can cause organ failure, collapse of the circulatory system and possible death. There is no known antidote for ricin.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police said yesterday that the letter apparently was sent from Canada. NBC reported that several other letters containing ricin also were intercepted, including one to a Texas prison and one to a sheriff's office. The FBI and Secret Service were said to be investigating the letter addressed to Trump.


A woman in Canada was identified as a suspect in the case, the New York Times said on Saturday, citing an unidentified law enforcement official.

It is not the first time Trump has been targeted with ricin. Letters containing the poison's ingredients were sent to the president and top military leaders at the Pentagon in 2018.

Those letters were also intercepted, and a Utah man, William Clyde Allen III, was charged with sending them. Actress Shannon Guess Richardson was convicted in 2014 of sending ricin-containing letters to President Barack Obama and then-New York mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Ricin is a poison, made in either a liquid, powder or crystal form from the husks of castor beans. It blocks the body's cells from making proteins, which leads to organ failure, a collapse of the circulatory system and possible death. It has been used in terrorist attacks. Two Islamic State supporters in Germany were arrested in 2018 for plotting a massive ricin attack.

The latest incident comes amid heightened political tensions in the US and a vitriolic presidential election race. The stakes were made even higher on Friday, with the death of US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Trump ricin letter raid: Canadian cops deploy CHEMICAL & BIOLOGICAL threat teams in Quebec after poison sent to White House

Canadian police say they've deployed chemical, biological and nuclear specialists in Quebec as part of an operation related to the mailing of poison to the White House. Police say the suspect sent six poisoned letters to the US.

The police operation focused on a condo in the city of Longueuil, just outside Montreal, on Monday morning. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said in a statement that "our Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives team (CBRNE) is leading the operation."

White House ricin mail suspect sent SIX POISON LETTERS to the US - Canadian police

The woman suspected of mailing a letter contaminated with deadly ricin poison to the White House apparently sent five more laced letters to the US, Canadian police said after raiding an apartment in Quebec.

The suspect, reportedly a woman with dual Canadian and French citizenship, was arrested by US Customs and Border Patrol agents on Sunday as she attempted to enter the US. Police, backed by specialists in nuclear, biological and chemical threats raided an apartment in Quebec connected to the woman on Monday.

"We believe a total of six letters were sent, one to the White House and five to Texas," Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Charles Poirier told reporters after the raid. Poirier did not say where in Texas the five contaminated letters were sent, but the FBI is investigating several suspicious deliveries at law enforcement and detention facilities in South Texas, Reuters reported.

The woman is reportedly being held in Buffalo, New York, and a police spokesman in Mission, Texas, told the agency that his department had previously arrested her in 2019, but had no records on the arrest.

President Donald Trump's mail is screened at an off-site facility before being delivered to the White House. As such, the likelihood of the president getting his hands on the letter were extremely slim. If he had, though, the consequences could have been fatal. Ricin, a poison made from the husks of castor beans, blocks the body's cells from making proteins, which leads to organ failure, a collapse of the circulatory system and possible death.

There is no known antidote.

Under the guise of seeking to "prevent a constitutional crisis," a massive network of well funded left-wing activists and progressive groups are training, organizing, and planning to mobilize millions of Americans should President Trump "contest the election results," refuse to concede, or claim an early victory.

More than 80 advocacy groups and grassroots organizations have joined in a broad coalition calling itself "Protect the Results" and proclaiming that "we cannot ignore the threat that Trump poses to our democracy and a peaceful transition of power."

The coalition is a joint project of Indivisible and Stand Up America, two left-wing groups founded in response to President Trump's 2016 election and whose goals are "to organize and resist Trump's dangerous agenda" and "to defeat Trump and his enablers."
