WORLD NEWS

Globalist groups demand US close military over ‘climate change’

(Can you believe the stupidity of this bunch?)

A report published this month by globalist dark money groups calls on the US to shut down the military for the climate.

“Not Just Less Pollution — Less Military,” reads a policy recommendation in the report published by the Climate and Community Project (CCP) and Common Wealth, two think tanks funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations. “Scaling back military operations and hardware acquisition is essential to emissions mitigation.” The groups also urge the military to start closing bases, which are “unnecessary in a foreign policy agenda that prioritises peace and cooperation.”

“There must be a reduction in the US and UK military’s sprawling infrastructural footprint. Base closure processes should include environmental assessments and financing for environmental remediation.”

But before it closes, the US military should pay $106 billion in “climate reparations,” adds the report, with the British military contributing $5 billion. According to climate calculations shown in the report, both countries should “introduce a specific military-focused climate reparations approach alongside other leading military powers.”

This $111 billion should be placed in a “global superfund” that will be used to help countries affected by “climate change.”

Exclusive—Seamus Bruner Blows the Lid Off the Agenda of Billionaire ‘Controligarchs’

Members of the billionaire class have an agenda to control the masses and grow their own profits, Seamus Bruner reveals in his new book, Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life.

Bruner, the director of research at Peter Schweizer’s Government Accountability Institute, spoke with SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily about Controligarchs, which hits bookstands Tuesday.

China Demands ‘Concrete Constraints on Israel’ to Help Hamas

China’s state-run Global Times on Monday joined the chorus attempting to protect Hamas by demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, just as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are beginning to penetrate the tunnel complexes Hamas constructed under hospitals and schools.

“In order to realize an immediate ceasefire when Israel ignores all calls and warnings to halt its military operations in Gaza, the world, or at least countries in the region that care about the humanitarian situation of Palestinians, also needs measures to impose concrete constraints on Israel,” the Global Times pontificated.

Israeli PM Issues Warning to Americans About Hamas War

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Monday that America and Europe would be the next targets of Hamas, as he made his case for total destruction of the U.S.-designated terrorist organization. 

“If we don’t win now, then Europe is next, and you’re next,” Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity. “We have to win.”

‘March for Israel’ Breaks Record; Largest Pro-Israel Rally in U.S. History

Tuesday’s “March for Israel” on the National Mall in Washington, DC, reached an estimated total of 290,000 participants — three times what organizers had expected and the largest pro-Israel gathering in U.S. history.

The rally was larger than similar events to support Israel during the terror of the second Palestinian intifada in 2002, and a rally to support Soviet Jews trying to leave the USSR in 1987.

House Passes Funding Plan with Overwhelming Democrat Support

The House passed a continuing resolution Tuesday to extend spending levels from a lame duck session last December by Democratic House and Senate majorities into 2024.

The final tally was 336-95. A whopping 209 Democrats supported the measure, far more than the 127 Republicans in favor.

Freedom Caucus Opposes Stop-Gap Spending Bill: No ‘Meaningful’ Wins for the ‘American People’

The House Freedom Caucus said in a Tuesday statement that it opposes a stop-gap spending bill that does not contain any border security or spending cuts.

“The House Freedom Caucus opposes the proposed ‘clean’ Continuing Resolution as it contains no spending reductions, no border security, and not a single meaningful win for the American People,” the Freedom Caucus said in a written statement. “Republicans must stop negotiating against ourselves over fears of what the Senate may do with the promise ‘roll over today and we’ll fight tomorrow.’”

Trump Listed on Michigan Presidential Primary Ballot Despite Legal Fight to Block Him

Several left-leaning groups have sued to block the former president from the state’s ballot on 14th Amendment grounds.

Former President Donald Trump has officially—at least for now—made it onto the 2024 presidential primary candidate list in Michigan, even though a legal battle that seeks to block him from being listed remains pending.

The list, released on Nov. 13 by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, marks a significant step (though not the final word) in President Trump’s efforts to stay on the ballot after activists sued Ms. Benson to force her to drop him.

While several left-leaning groups have sued to block President Trump from the ballot in Michigan on 14th Amendment grounds, the former president’s legal team has demanded that Ms. Benson keep him on.

Michigan Judge Rules to Keep Trump on the Ballot

Michigan rejected efforts to remove the former president from the ballot under the 14th Amendment.

A Michigan judge echoed the Minnesota Supreme Court’s recent decision that 14th Amendment challenges to keep former President Donald Trump off the state primary ballot as he seeks reelection are premature.

Michigan Court of Claims Judge James Robert Redford wrote on Tuesday that “plaintiffs cannot show that they are entitled to a declaratory judgment,” because Michigan state law requires the secretary of state to put major candidates identified in the media on the primary ballot. Yesterday, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson did just that, including President Trump on the list.

The judge’s new order addresses three separate cases—one brought by a local advocate, another by Free Speech for People representing a handful of local voters, and one brought by President Trump. All three were petitions against Ms. Benson, arguing over whether her office had the authority to disqualify candidates from presidential primary ballots, and whether President Trump was disqualified under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

Fulton County DA asks for protective order after leak of witness videos in Trump election interference case

Parts of videotaped testimony from Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro and Scott Hall were leaked to two outlets.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office is seeking an emergency protective order after parts of videos from key witnesses in her election interference case against former President Donald Trump and others were leaked to two news outlets.

“The release of these confidential video recordings is clearly intended to intimidate witnesses in this case, subjecting them to harassment and threats prior to trial,” the DA’s office said in a court filing Tuesday after parts of the videotaped statements of lawyers Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro and bail bondsman Scott Hall were made public.

The four were among the original 19 defendants charged in the racketeering case in August and have all pleaded guilty to related charges. The footage, known as proffer videos, was made pursuant to the defendants’ plea agreements, which required that they provide true and accurate information to prosecutors.

Judge Scott McAfee scheduled a hearing on the emergency motion for Wednesday.

House Republicans issue criminal referral against Michael Cohen over NY fraud trial testimony

Two Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have recommended the Justice Department look at pursuing charges against former Trump attorney Michael Cohen for contradictory testimony he gave last month in former President Trump’s fraud trial in New York.

The criminal referral letter — sent by House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) and committee member Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) — accuses Cohen of committing perjury and having “knowingly made false statements” before the congressional panel four years ago.

Ye Shall Know Them By Their Fruits … 

House Votes Against Progressing Mayorkas Impeachment Effort

The House has voted to keep Marjorie Taylor Greene’s impeachment resolution naming DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in committee.

The House of Representatives has voted against progressing a resolution to impeach Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Nov. 13, pulling the brakes on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) effort to challenge the official overseeing the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis.

A Democrat motion sought to send the resolution back to the Homeland Security Committee, which is conducting its own investigation into Mr. Mayokas. Eight Republicans joined Democrats to pass the motion in a 209-201 vote.

After the vote, Ms. Greene had a message to the Republicans who voted with Democrats to shelve her resolution. “They’re gonna have to face their voters. The American people are fed up,” she told reporters.

Jay Valentine: When Citizens Have Better Computer Technology Than Their Government – Minnesota Investigation finds 172,000+ Voter Issues

For the first time in history, citizens have better computer technology than their government.

Today’s video of Minnesota voter rolls shows, using Fractal technology, that citizens can identify anomalies in government voter rolls that existed for over 100 years – eluding all the obsolete technology Minnesota could bring to bear.

We now have in our grasp, the first example of citizens with far better technology – than their government.

We are embarking on a journey where in state after state, the Fractal team, joined by legislator groups – is showing the dreadful official voter roll pollution – with Fractal technology.

Mr. Secretary of State, you have 2,400 year old voters on your voter roll. Everyone knows it is dirty data or fraud. And when Fractal uncovers it, you lose your credibility if you continue to claim that you do not have dirty data.

Note: Author of this article, Jay Valentine, will be joining The Power Hour for an interview regarding this article on Thursday, November 16th.

Loudoun County Voters Fire Soros Prosecutor Buta Biberaj, Elect Republican Bob Anderson

Voters in Loudoun County, Virginia, ousted Soros prosecutor Buta Biberaj, replacing her with Republican Bob Anderson as county attorney of the closely watched county.

George Soros has wreaked havoc nationwide by funneling enormous sums of his vast wealth into lower-profile public offices with an outsized impact on the direction of the nation. Almost 20 years ago he started his SOS Project, focusing on electing leftwing secretaries of state because they are chief elections officers of their respective states, resulting in major reinterpretations of elections laws. This accelerated a leftward shift in voting laws that would result in pushing ballot harvesting, automatic voter registration, same-day registration, forbidding voter ID and blocking other election integrity measures.

Ex-fundraiser for George Santos pleads guilty to wire fraud

Sam Miele admitted to charge in relation to impersonating a senior aide to then House speaker Keven McCarthy

A former fundraiser for the New York Republican congressman George Santos pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a federal charge of wire fraud, which could put him behind bars for more than two years.

Sam Miele admitted to a single count of wire fraud relating to impersonating a senior aide to the then House speaker Kevin McCarthy. The ruse was part of a fundraising scheme conducted in 2021 to raise money for Santos’s bid for a seat in the US House of Representatives.

Miele was charged with four counts of wire fraud in August. Prosecutors said he pretended to be a “high-ranking aide to a member of the House with leadership responsibilities”, taking on the persona in order to solicit donations over the phone.

Inflation Slows in October to 3.2 Percent

Inflation Slows in October to 3.2 Percent

The U.S. annual inflation rate eased to 3.2 percent in October, coming in slightly lower than the consensus estimate of 3.3 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This is notably down from 3.7 percent in September.

Last month, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was unchanged at zero percent monthly.

Core inflation, which strips the volatile energy and food components, slowed to 4 percent year over year, down from 4.1 percent in September and slightly under the market forecast of 4.1 percent.

EV Disaster: Tesla Competitor Fisker Suffers Weak Revenues, Slashes Production Targets

Fisker, a competitor of Tesla in the electric vehicle (EV) market, has released the results of a tough quarter featuring lower-than-expected revenue. The bad news didn’t stop there — the company also announced it would slash its annual production target on its Ocean SUV to just 13,000-17,000 cars from its projection of 20,000-23,000 this year.

The Wall Street Journal reports that EV startup Fisker Inc. experienced a significant setback recently based on a weak quarterly financial report and a drastic cut in its production target. The company reported a disheartening third quarter, with figures falling short of analysts’ expectations in both revenue and losses.

Trump’s Truth Social Announces Merger ‘Milestone’

Former President Donald Trump’s company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) has reached another “important milestone” in its merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp., officials announced on Nov. 13.

In a press release, the two firms unveiled the filing of “Amendment No. 1” to its Form S-4 Registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Publicly traded companies are required to file an SEC form S-4 to register any material information related to a merger or acquisition.

RECALL WARNING: 

CDC Urges Caution After 22 Toddlers Poisoned by Lead Linked to Applesauce Pouches

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned health care providers about potential cases of high blood lead levels in children after consuming certain cinnamon-flavored applesauce products.

The CDC issued a health advisory on Nov. 13, stating that as of Nov. 7, at least 22 toddlers aged between 1 and 3 had been found to have high blood lead levels after eating cinnamon-flavored applesauce products.

The cases were reported in 14 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington.

Is your dishwasher detergent harming your gut?

Not too many years ago, dishwashers were considered a luxury item, and most American homemakers in the 1950s diligently washed dishes by hand.  The transition to dishwashers becoming a household staple didn’t occur until the 1970s.

While dishwashers undoubtedly offer convenience, a recent study in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology reveals a potential downside – they may adversely affect the gut.  This discovery raises concerns, particularly given the associations between gut issues and various health problems such as Crohn’s disease, Celiac disease, thyroid disorders, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.

Toxic trails: Dishwasher detergent residue may contribute to stomach woes

Have you ever considered that the seemingly innocuous residue on your dishes might be a culprit behind stomach issues?  The study above sheds light on a concerning revelation: dishwasher detergent, particularly in the form of dried rinse agent residue, can compromise the gut lining, contributing to gastrointestinal problems.

The secret culprit in many commercial rinse agents is alcohol ethoxylated.  This substance, when ingested, wreaks havoc on the stomach’s intestinal epithelium, leading to potential health concerns.  Shockingly, some modern dishwashers struggle to completely eliminate alcohol ethoxylate from dishes and utensils, raising questions about the unseen impact on our digestive health.

Safer suds: Craft your own DIY dishwasher detergent for gut-friendly cleaning

While there’s no absolute certainty that your dishwasher detergent poses a threat to your gut, it’s wise to err on the side of caution.  Opt for a do-it-yourself solution using a mix of borax, salt, and lemon juice – an alternative that rivals store-bought options in dish-cleaning prowess

This gene-editing therapy could cure sickle cell disease, and it’s close to FDA approval

A breakthrough treatment for sickle cell patients could soon become the first gene-editing treatment to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that affects roughly 100,000 Americans, most of whom are Black. The disease causes red blood cells to become sickle or c-shaped, clumping together and clogging blood vessels, causing pain and other complications. 

There is only one approved treatment that can cure sickle cell disease: a bone marrow transplant in which a healthy donor offers stem cells that create red blood cells in the sick patient. In the vast majority of cases, the best donor is the patient’s fully related sibling, but even then, a sibling only has a 1 in 4 chance of being a match. 

“Only about 18 percent, or less than 1 in 5 individuals, will have a suitable match. And the best match possible is a sibling who happens to have the same tissue type that they do, but only about less than 20 percent of sickle cell patients will have a sibling with an appropriate match,” said Alexis Thompson, chief of the Division of Hematology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. 

As a result, doctors and regulators are highly interested in a new treatment known as exagamglogene autotemcel (exa-cel), which was developed through a partnership between Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics.

This treatment takes a patient’s stem cells and edits them to produce more fetal hemoglobin, an abundance of which has been observed to cause red blood cells to not “sickle.” 

The idea of altering a person’s genes to potentially cure a disease sounds like science fiction, but gene therapy has been used more and more in medicine in recent years.

EXPOSED: Meta’s $36 Billion Plot to Reengineer Society and Mark Zuckerberg’s Dangerous Future Plans for Tech Addiction

Out today, Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, Their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life, blows the lid off of Meta’s pattern of intentionally using harmful and aggressive tactics to get users addicted to social media apps like Facebook and Instagram and documents a shocking rise in depression and suicide that some scientists have linked to social media use.

This comes just weeks after dozens of state attorneys general (AGs) filed suit against Facebook’s and Instagram’s parent company, Meta Platforms Inc. (Meta), and three of its subsidiaries, for harming children by addicting them to the social media platforms. Forty-two states, including California and New York, allege that billionaire creator Mark Zuckerberg’s company “knowingly designed and deployed harmful features on Instagram and Facebook to purposefully addict children and teens.”

‘Grandparent Scams:’ Crooks Are Targeting Seniors with AI-Powered Voice Cloning of Loved Ones

Crooks and scammers are having a field day thanks to the advent of AI technologies used for cloning voices and extracting personal information from social media platforms. Cybercriminals are using AI to create convincing copies of young people’s voices, which are used to power “grandparent scams” targeting elderly relatives.

The Palm Beach Post reports that the evolution of AI technology has opened new avenues for criminal activities. A recent report highlights how AI is now being used by scammers to clone voices and gather personal information from social media platforms to perpetrate more convincing scams.

UN & Bill Gates Team Up To Create “50-In-5” Digital Panopticon

The United Nations and Bill Gates 50-in-5 scheme to impose “Digital Public Infrastructure,” including digital ID, digital currency, and digital wallets, is really a plan to eliminate privacy and liberty worldwide, explains journalist Alex Newman on In Focus with Alison Steinberg of One America News Network (OAN).

The UN-led plan, which involves getting 50 national governments fully onboard with digitization and “digital public goods” in 5 years, aims to create digital systems that are interoperable. The goal is for all of humanity to participate. Will you? If not, what will you do to push back?

Eventually, Newman explains that the evildoers behind the so-called “Fourth Industrial Revolution” (4IR), such as Klaus Schwab, hope to see a “fusion” of people’s digital and biological identities. The implications should alarm all who care about privacy, freedom, and civilization.

Liberty-lovers must get to work to expose this evil now before we find ourselves trapped. Start by educating yourself, and then take action to educate others.

Gov. Kathy Hochul: NY Collecting Data from ‘Surveillance Efforts’ on Social Media

New York is reportedly collecting data from what Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) described as “surveillance efforts” on social media platforms, and is launching an effort to “counter some of the negativity.”

Speaking Monday, Hochul announced that the state is “very focused on the data we’re collecting from surveillance efforts [and] what’s being said on social media platforms,” admitting to government surveillance. What is more, Hochul said they have “launched an effort to be able to counter some of the negativity and reach out to people” when they see what they deem to be “hate speech being spoken about on online platforms.”

Nolte: Study Shows New York Green Switch Will Skyrocket Residential Costs

New Yorkers are about to get an expensive taste of what they voted for as the state’s inevitable green changeover hits their pocketbooks, per a new study.

The Empire Center for Public Policy warns that in 2030, “New York may begin a policy of forcing New York families to use electricity for home heating instead of fuels like heating oil, propane and natural gas.”

The study, which is titled “In Cold Reality: The Cost and Challenge of Compulsory Home Electrification in New York,” offers a ton of data to make two crucial points…

  • “New York’s plan to steer homeowners and landlords toward electric heat could backfire due to high costs and practical concerns.”
  • “The global effect of the costly program of compulsory electrification will be a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of less than 0.05 percent.” The study goes on to warn that in “choosing this approach, New York has closed the door on a more affordable means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, clean fuel standards that promote biodiesel and renewable propane.”

‘Greta Thunberg is no longer a climate activist – Israel-hater is the main job’: Fury over eco-protester’s Palestine stance, as Fridays for Future movement distances itself from her

Greta Thunberg has come under fire for her pro-Palestine stance by Jewish groups, as the German branch of climate movement Fridays for Future also distanced itself from her. 

Ms Thunberg, wearing a Palestinian black and white scarf, had urged ‘ceasefire now’  at a climate protest in Amsterdam on Sunday before a man grabbed her microphone and said: ‘I’ve come for a climate demonstration, not a political view.’

The 20-year-old eco-protester had accused ‘the people in power of not listening’ to the ‘voices of those who are being oppressed’ in the Gaza Strip during her speech in front of tens of thousands of climate demonstrators.

Actress Sues AstraZeneca After COVID-19 Jab Leaves Her With Brain Injuries

Melle Stewart was a hugely successful actress. Now she has a piece of titanium the size of her hand lodged in her skull.

An Australian theatre star and vaccination advocate is suing pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, claiming that a life-threatening stroke left her unable to work after taking the company’s vaccine.

Melle Stewart, 42, is known for her acting in both the UK and Australia, including playing the lead in the musical Mamma Mia! and Channel 7’s Home and Away.

Ms. Stewart received her first dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on May 24, 2021.

US Supreme Court Rejects Challenge to COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate

The Supreme Court released an unsigned order saying it would decline to take up the case.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 13 declined to take up a lawsuit filed by four New Jersey nurses to challenge a now-scrapped state COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The justices will not examine a U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals decision that dismissed the nurses’ challenge as moot. In the Supreme Court’s list of orders released on Nov. 13, the court rejected an appeal in the case, Katie Sczesny, et al. v. Murphy, Gov. of New Jersey, et al. No comment from the justices was provided.

In early 2022, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy issued an executive order that “unvaccinated covered workers must obtain their first dose of the primary series of a COVID-19 vaccination by January 27, 2022,” adding that those workers have to give “adequate proof” they’ve received all their shots by Feb. 28 of that year. Those who do not provide sufficient proof “must be considered noncompliant.”

New Report Raises Concerns That CDC Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System Is Broken

A BMJ investigation found the CDC isn’t following its standards for maintaining VAERS, is missing safety signals, and essentially maintains two databases.

The nation’s primary early warning system used to detect possible safety problems with vaccines is “overwhelmed,” raising concerns the system may be broken and isn’t being adequately managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), according to a new investigation.

The report published on Nov. 10 by The BMJ found the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has received an unprecedented number of reports attributed to COVID-19 vaccines, and there aren’t enough staff to meet the requirements for reviewing and following up with serious reports, including deaths. Additionally, the investigation revealed that VAERS is neither transparent, user-friendly, nor responsive, and suggests the government essentially maintains two VAERS systems—only one of wh

Tuberculosis Surpasses COVID-19 as Most Deadly Infectious Disease

Tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has reclaimed its spot as the deadliest infectious disease.

In 2022, an estimated 1.2 million people died around the world from COVID-19, while 1.3 million people died from tuberculosis (TB), according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

As cases of the COVID-19 virus and related deaths dwindle, tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has reclaimed its spot as the deadliest infectious disease.

TB “is curable, provided we diagnose early, intervene, and the drug regime is followed religiously,” Seyed Hasnain, National Science Chair at the Indian Institute of Technology and distinguished professor of life sciences at Sharda University in India, wrote to The Epoch Times via email. So why is it still so deadly?

Texas Bishop Joseph Strickland Speaks Out About His Removal by Pope Francis

‘I encourage those upset or confused by the development to pray for the pope and not to leave the Church,’ he said.

Bishop Joseph Strickland of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas, was forcibly removed from his office by Pope Francis on Saturday morning.

“They had the authority to remove me from diocesan governance, but I encourage those upset or confused by the development to pray for the pope and not to leave the Church,” Bishop Strickland wrote on Facebook on Monday morning.

The news from the Vatican shocked and angered many who supported the 65-year-old bishop’s respect of traditional Catholic teachings.

Bishop Strickland, who has served as the fourth bishop of the Diocese of Tyler since 2012, has been outspoken in his criticisms of Pope Francis’ progressive views on the LGBTQ community within the church.

In June, Pope Francis ordered an investigation into the pastoral governance of the Tyler Diocese by Bishop Dennis Sullivan of Camden, New Jersey, and Bishop Emeritus Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, Arizona.

“After months of careful consideration by the Dicastery for Bishops and the Holy Father, the decision was reached that the resignation of Bishop Strickland should be requested,” according to a statement by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
