CrowdStrike one of Russiagate's 'biggest culprits': ex-House investigator

As a top investigator on the House Intelligence Committee, Kash Patel helped uncover the Clinton campaign's funding of the Steele dossier and the FBI's extensive and deceptive reliance on it.

Patel joins Aaron Maté to discuss Steele's new attempt to defend his discredited work via a softball interview with ABC News. Patel also addresses the key role of newly indicted Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann in hiring and overseeing another heavily influential Clinton campaign contractor, CrowdStrike, the cyber-firm behind the foundational allegation that Russia hacked the DNC. Patel says:

"CrowdStrike is one of the biggest culprits of the Russia fraud. For some reason, for the only time in FBI history that I can think of, they allowed an outside non-government entity to referee. That is, to go in and seize the servers of a target of an investigation and let a third party, CrowdStrike, referee what the FBI could and could not have access to."

An investigation is underway in Loudoun County by the sheriff's office after multiple reported incidents of a male student touching other students inappropriately at a district middle school.

The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) reported Thursday its school resource office learned from school personnel that on Wednesday a male student had been inappropriately touched over his clothing by another male student in a hallway of Harmony Middle School.

LCSO reported:

At this time detectives have determined there are additional male students who were inappropriately touched by the same juvenile. Those incidents had not been previously reported to school officials or law enforcement.

The LCSO is currently conducting follow-ups with school officials, witnesses, and parents.

The report comes only two days after high school students in the scandal-ridden school district held a walkout in support of other sexual assault victims.

"Rapid growth": Russia-China trade to smash all-time high this year despite lockdowns - Russian Export Center

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 13:39 UTC

The Russian Export Center (REC) expects trade turnover between Russia and China to reach a record $130 billion in 2021, the head of the state institution Veronika Nikishina said during an online conference on Monday.

"This year, [Russia-China] trade shows rapid growth: in the first eight months of 2021, trade turnover increased by 30% to $86 billion... In the summer, trade between our two countries reached a record level of $12 billion per month. And there is no doubt that it will also be a record high by the end of the year," Nikishina said.

She noted that Russian exports to China jumped by 34% to $42.3 billion in the reporting period, while imports from China grew by 27%, to $43.5 billion.

Comment: Whilst it appears that the global economic situation is looking rather grim, the above likely reflects that Russia and China are in a much stronger position than much of the West:

Common sense: Survey finds majority of Swiss refuse to pay more for fuel & heating to meet 'climate change' goals

Traffic on the A52 motorway passes a Shell gas station near the village of Hinteregg, Switzerland.

The majority of Swiss are reluctant to fund climate change goals from their own pocket, a new survey has shown. Younger people, and those living in rural areas, are especially unwilling to pay more for gas, heating and air travel.

The 2050 carbon neutrality goals, outlined by the Switzerland authorities, are out of step with the population's readiness to pay increasingly higher bills to fund them, according to a new survey. The poll, conducted among some 23,000 people, was commissioned by the Tamedia and 20 Minuten media groups early in October with its findings published Sunday.

San Francisco Safeway store now closing earlier due to rampant shoplifting

The Safeway store at Market and Church streets in San Francisco now closes earlier, at 9 p.m., because of what the company describes as an “increasing amount of theft.” San Francisco supervisors complain that the early closure will negatively affect customers and employees of the store.

Yet another major retailer in San Francisco has made the decision to close earlier due to excessive theft particularly at night, according to San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandelman.

The Castro Safeway on Market and Church Streets was open 24 hours, but that's not the case any longer. Signs posted on its entrance state its new hours are 6 am to 9 pm, effective October 24.

Many shoppers were surprised to find that the Safeway they frequent at off-hours is cutting back.

Comment: The Hill adds:

This decision by the Castro Safeway comes less than a month after pharmacy retail giant Walgreens announced it would be closing some locations in San Francisco due to organized retail theft. One San Francisco Walgreens that was closed last year was reportedly losing $1,000 to theft a day.

"I think the last 6 months from what they say has been sort of - off the charts in terms of how bad it's been. It's sad, upsetting and frustrating." a Walgreens spokesperson said.

According to KPIX, Mandelman characterized the changing hours of the Safeway as an equity problem. "There's a lot of low-income folks, seniors, folks with disability, who rely on that Safeway and other Safeways around the city," he said.

In September, San Francisco announced a new initiative to crack down on retail theft. These new measures included increasing the staffing of the police department's Organized Retail Crime Unit and updating the department's reporting system to allow businesses to more easily report thefts online.

"Retail theft and commercial burglaries are not victimless crimes," San Francisco Mayor London Breed said at the time. "They hurt working families due to reduced work hours, shuttered stores and lost jobs. They hurt customers and seniors who are losing convenient access to prescription medications and vaccinations because of pharmacy closures. They hurt neighborhoods suffering from fewer local retailers and more empty storefronts."

So much for 'defund the police'.

Sydney International Airport a hive of activity as Australia reopens border

Until Monday the travel hub had been almost deserted due to the pandemic.

Sydney's international airport came alive with tears, embraces and laughter on Monday as Australia's border opened for the first time in 20 months, with some arriving travellers tearing away mandatory masks to see the faces of long-missed loved ones.

Australia is betting that vaccination rates are now high enough to mitigate the danger of allowing international visitors again after maintaining some of the lengthiest and strictest border controls anywhere during the coronavirus pandemic.

Before the pandemic, Sydney was Australia's busiest international airport but until Monday it had been almost deserted.

Comment: How long will it last, even for the "fully-vaccinated"? Is this another gaslight exercise by the tyrannical Australian government? All those 'rules' are still on the books and can be re-implemented at any time.

Health Minister Yvette D'Ath said Queensland Health will manage the staff reduction.(ABC News)

Health Minister Yvette D'Ath announced 4,000 unvaccinated health care staff would be suspended this week with full pay leading to some "disruptions" for Queensland Health.

The 4,000 workers who have refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19 amount to around three per cent of the total health work force in Queensland.

Comment: It doesn't seem like a lot, but is Queensland is already suffering from a deficit of workers? This is the case in the UK where the system becomes 'overwhelmed' even during a mild flu season: "Frightening" shortfall of 50,000 doctors for UK's NHS this winter, healthcare staff 'quit over the summer' - BMA

Speaking on Monday Ms D'Ath said there were 7,000 people who were yet to be fully vaccinated but 3,000 were on long service or maternity leave.

Winter is coming ... and you know what that means.

That's right, it's nearly time once again for the global-capitalist ruling classes to whip the New Normal masses into a state of mindless mass hysteria over an imaginary apocalyptic virus. the same imaginary apocalyptic virus that they have whipped the New Normal masses into a state of mass hysteria over throughout the Winter for the last two years.

They've got their work cut out for them this time. Seriously, how much more mass hysterical could the New Normals possibly get at this point?

NYC suffers from shortage of firefighters and EMS stemming from vaccine mandate

People walk past the FDNY Engine Co. 216 station house on October 29, 2021 in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn borough in New York City.

New York City is suffering from a shortage of firefighters and EMS personnel on the eve of the November 1 deadline, which requires city workers have at least one dosage of a COVID vaccine, according to reports.

A report from the New York Post said 26 companies of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) citywide were "shuttered" on Saturday as a result of the city's vaccine mandate, per city officials.

"As of 7:30am this morning, 26 @FDNY companies are closed including 5 in my district due to @NYCMayor locking out unvaccinated firefighters," Nicole Malliotakis (R-SI, Brooklyn) tweeted on October 30. "If someone dies due to a slower emergency response, it's on Bill de Blasio and his overreaching mandates. I hope this fool fixes it ASAP!"

Comment: They're already trying to spin this as not being abnormal, or having nothing to do with the vax mandates, but when the city is burning, citizens will know where to place the blame.

American Airlines canceled another 634 flights on Sunday, more than 12% of its total operations for the day, the company said Sunday.

The airline has now canceled more than 1,500 flights since Friday, as it deals with weather issues and staffing shortages that started last week.

"With additional weather throughout the system, our staffing begins to run tight as crew members end up out of their regular flight sequences," American said in a statement to CNN on Saturday.

Comment: Sound familiar? Could more be going on behind the scenes than is being reported?
