Obama Approved Accusing Russia of DNC Hack Before FBI Received DNC Server Images

James Fetzerblog

By Ivan Pentchoukov 0:005:43 1    President Barack Obama approved a statement by the U.S. intelligence community in October 2016 accusing Russia of stealing emails from the Democratic National Committee (DNC), despite the U.S. government not having obtained the DNC server images crucial to ascertaining whether Moscow was involved in the theft. FBI emails recently made public during the trial against now-acquitted DNC attorney Michael Sussmann show the bureau was still in the process of requesting images of the DNC servers on Oct. 13, 2016. The server images, which are equivalent to a virtual copy…

Conrad Black, The Swamp Must Be Drained

James Fetzerblog

Conrad Black The Democrats are increasingly desperate as the return of Donald Trump becomes more likely each week. They are muddling the sequence of events that got us to the present impasse: Trump ran against the corrupt back-scratching, log-rolling society of the OBushintons—the Clinton pay-to-play schemes, the Biden sales of influence and access, the semi-disguised socialist racism elitism of the Obamas, and the flabby sameness and ineffectuality of the Bush–McCain–Romney–McConnell–Ryan Republicans. Trump sensed the people were dissatisfied with the bipartisan Swamp, and he ran as strenuously against the Bushes and McCain and…

James Fetzerblog

By Mark Tapscott Top Democratic leaders with oversight of the National Institutes for Health (NIH) are keeping quiet about the $350 million in secret payments to agency leaders like Dr. Anthony Fauci and hundreds of its scientists. The Epoch Times received no responses from multiple requests to Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) for comment on a report by a non-profit government watchdog estimating that Fauci, former NIH director Francis Collins, and hundreds of NIH scientists got as much as $350 million in undisclosed royalty payments from…

By Joseph M. Hanneman Internal Affairs Bureau conducted probe in response to a police-brutality complaint The beating of an unconscious Trump supporter by a DC Metropolitan Police Department officer on January 6 was deemed to be “objectively reasonable” after an investigation by the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau, The Epoch Times has learned.

GoFundMe Says All Donations to Trucker Convoy Will Be Automatically Refunded; Florida to Investigate

James Fetzerblog

By Zachary Stieber [Editor’s note: Calling out the blatant theft of funds from donors to the truckers’ protest has led GoFundMe to reverse course and (now) declare it will automatically refund those donations, but they have exposed their hand as grotesquely corrupt and politically biased. I have added the “Truckers’ Declaration” just published by State of the Nation.]    The GoFundMe fundraising platform said Feb. 5 it will automatically refund donations made to a trucker convoy in Canada protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates after backlash. GoFundMe said Friday it was preventing the funds from…

GoFundMe Seizes $10 Million of Trucker Protest Fundraising, Will Give to Charities Instead

James Fetzerblog

By Omid Ghoreishi [Editor’s note: This appears to be a blatantly illegal action by GoFundMe. The money does not belong to GoFundMe. If they are going to (wrongfully) cut off the Truckers, they can send it back to the donors (who. contributed): they cannot decide to treat it as their own and give it away, as they plan to do. They know what they are doing is illegal, but the mischief occurs between the time an illegal (or unconstitutional) act is taken and the time it takes to be held…

Who Benefits From Cancelling Achievement Standards?

James Fetzerblog

Philip Carl Salzman In 2021 there’s an outright holy war against scholastic achievement.   Oregon has passed a bill that suspends the requirement that students must be able to read, write, and do math to graduate from high school. Mathematics should be replaced, we are told, by “social justice” mathematics, in which there are no correct answers, and students must not be asked to show the calculations that led to their conclusions. Standard American English should no longer be the standard, and students should not be judged on the quality of…

Woke Ideology Mimics Precursors to Totalitarian Slaughter, Experts Say

James Fetzerblog

BY PETR SVAB Some of the core tenets of the “woke” ideology spreading around the country mimic ideas used to justify many of the most horrendous atrocities of the past century, according to several experts. A recently released documentary exploring the topic, called “Better Left Unsaid,” concludes that the self-identified “radical left” endorses four fundamental “truths” that they “hold to be self-evident,” noting that these tenets have also been used to justify and incite many of the worst massacres of the 20th century. The first of the four claims is…

The ‘Defund the Police’ Movement Has a Broader Agenda and Its Not to Stop the Killing of Black People

James Fetzerblog

BY MASOOMA HAQ AND JAN JEKIELEK [Editor’s note: Further proof that Brandon Tatum’s “got it right” comes from crime statistics based on race, where this is a typical example from 2013: While those devious bastards behind his movement may want to federalize the police, the riots, looting and arson that has come in its wake has convinced every observant American that they cannot count on local police for assistance when they need it and have to be capable of defending themselves, which is why as an unintended consequence it has all but…
