Puppet Masters
VERDICT: FALSE. None of these examples is valid. All of them involve outright lies or significant omissions of context.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), the Democratic Party nominee for vice president, told 60 Minutes on Sunday evening that she believed that President Trump is a racist, and cited the four reasons above.
The former veep delivered remarks on the coronavirus pandemic in Wilmington after being briefed by a panel of doctors, and in characteristic style, did not take any questions from reporters before he walked off stage.
Biden, 77, and his wife, Jill Biden, then cast their votes in their hometown before heading to a fundraiser as President Trump and Biden's running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, held rallies in the battleground state of Arizona.
US presidential challenger Joe Biden recently referred to Russia as the main threat to the US. The statement perplexed some observers given how his former boss Barack Obama dismissed Russia as a weak regional power in 2014, while in 2012 Obama himself had mocked Mitt Romney for arguing that Russia was America's number one "geopolitical foe."
Biden, the erstwhile vice president of Obama, has now seemingly made a complete reversal.
Update (1412 ET): It's clear that Twitter's Jack Dorsey has perhaps unintentionally acknowledged that Twitter's unofficial moderating system is based simply on whoever shows the most outrage.
In response to questioning from Sen. Rick Scott, Dorsey replied:
"We don't have a general policy around misleading information and misinformation... We rely upon people calling that speech out."See the discussion below...

Pope Francis shares a word with Monsignor Luis Maria Rodrigo Ewart as he arrives in the Paul VI Hall at the Vatican for his weekly general audience, Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2020. A Vatican official who is a key member of Francis' COVID-19 response commission, the Rev. Augusto Zampini, acknowledged Tuesday that at age 83 and with part of his lung removed after an illness in his youth, Francis would be at high risk for complications if he were to become infected. Zampini said he hoped Francis would don a mask at least when he greeted people during the general audience. "We are working on that," he said.
Francis again eschewed a protective mask Wednesday even when he greeted a few maskless clergymen at the end of his audience. While the prelates wore masks throughout the hour-long audience, they took them off when they lined up to shake Francis' hand and speak briefly with him one-on-one.

Comment: And amidst the manufactured hysteria of the 'second wave' there have been small but widespread protests throughout Italy - and elsewhere in Europe - against the measures which many are saying are the death knell for small businesses and are a harbinger for harsher tyrannical measures.

Valentina Matvienko, Anton Vaino and Sergey Lavrov take part in an operational meeting between Vladimir Putin and permanent members of the Russian security Council via videoconference.
The bill, which passed through parliament on Tuesday, will bring the law in line with the new constitutional reforms. In July, Russian voters approved a wide-ranging package of amendments to the constitution, including a restriction on high-level officials having foreign citizenship or residency.
Once signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, members of the Security Council will be prohibited from storing cash and valuables outside the country's borders. The Security Council is chaired by the president and comprises 12 other permanent officials, plus many more non-permanent members. Included in the permanent representation are the prime minister and the ministers for defense, foreign affairs, and internal affairs, as well the director of the Federal Security Service.
Comment: Numerous scandals in the West have exposed that it would do well to follow Russia's lead:
- Britain is at the heart of the global tax haven network
- The Panama Papers - Secrets of the Super Rich and Super Corrupt
- The game is rigged: The 1% hide their money offshore - then use it to corrupt our democracy
Schwab seems to have dedicated his life to reinventing that nightmare and to trying to turn it into a reality not just for Germany but for the whole world.
Worse still, as his own words confirm time and time again, his technocratic fascist vision is also a twisted transhumanist one, which will merge humans with machines in "curious mixes of digital-and-analog life", which will infect our bodies with "Smart Dust" and in which the police will apparently be able to read our brains.
And, as we will see, he and his accomplices are using the Covid-19 crisis to bypass democratic accountability, to override opposition, to accelerate their agenda and to impose it on the rest of humankind against our will in what he terms a "Great Reset".
Schwab is not, of course, a Nazi in the classic sense, being neither a nationalist nor an anti-semite, as testified by the $1 million Dan David Prize he was awarded by Israel in 2004.
Peggy Noonan penned an archetypal anti-Trump article this month, titled "Biden, Pence and the Wish for Normalcy." Noonan mused almost longingly that America might be headed toward an unprecedented landslide in favor of Joe Biden. If this happens, she said, one of the primary reasons will simply be "that [Biden] is normal ... and people miss normal so much."
Noonan, like many Republicans who don't like Trump, wants to go back to normal. The reality is we are never going back to "normal." The old Republican Party is dead. Trump made a new party, and that is the party of the future.
The Old GOP Is Dead
In 2016, Trump hijacked the Republican Party. Although he was billed as Republican, the support propelling him to victory was a new configuration of the electorate. Many mainstream Republicans still don't understand this, but no other GOP candidate was going to win in 2016. Trump won because he was not actually a Republican.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office in Westminster, London, England.
The documents released by the hacktivist collective Anonymous appear to expose a variety of covert actions undertaken by the UK government against the Syrian state over many years.
The overriding objective behind them all, the papers suggest, was to destabilise the government of Bashar Assad, convince Syrians, Western citizens, foreign governments, and international bodies that the Free Syrian Army (FSA) was a legitimate alternative, and flood media the world over with pro-opposition propaganda.

The Obama-Biden administration investigated six Trump campaign advisers for suspected FARA violations, but not Hunter Biden, above, with his father.
The Obama administration did not prosecute Hunter Biden for potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, despite its much more aggressive pursuit of FARA cases relative to other administrations — including its opening of criminal investigations on no fewer than six Trump campaign advisers in 2016.
Comment: GOP senators are calling for a special counsel investigation. From The Daily Caller:
Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, Republican Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson and Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn all told the Washington Examiner that Attorney General William Barr should appoint a special counsel to look into any allegations of wrongdoing.
"I certainly think it should be investigated, and I think a special counsel may well be warranted," Hawley told the Examiner. "My bottom line is I think the investigation needs to continue uninterrupted. So if it takes a special counsel to do that, then I'd be for it."
"Well, I think I'm not a big fan of special counsels, but I'm worried if Trump loses the election, then that will all be just swept under the rug," Cornyn told the Examiner.
Johnson agreed with Cornyn's assessment of special counsels, but argued that this situation could be different.
"In this case, it might be the only solution to make sure that we finally get to the bottom of this," said Johnson. "Again, it all depends on the election result, but that might be appropriate in this situation."
Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio called for a Justice Department investigation instead of a special counsel, according to the Examiner.
"I've studied this thing long enough. You don't need a special counsel. Just go with the normal process," said Grassley.











Comment: Biden received help, of course, in avoiding the touchy subject of the Bobulinski interview, with reporters continuing to lob softball questions instead. Indeed the entire MSM has come to QuidProJoe's aid.
