<h3 style="text-align: left;">“Marriage fundamentalism” advances “white supremacy,” according to a George Mason University <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professors-seek-to-undo-the-unearned-benefits-of-family-privilege/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">professor</a>.</h3><p style="text-align: left;"> “I theorize that marriage fundamentalism, like structural racism, is a
key structuring element of White heteropatriarchal supremacy,”
Professor Bethany Letiecq <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jomf.12971" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in the <i>Journal of Marriage and Family</i>.</p>
<p> </p><p>“Marriage fundamentalism can be understood as an ideological and
cultural phenomenon, where adherents espouse the superiority of the
two-parent married family,” she (<i>pictured</i>) wrote.</p>
<p> </p><p>She did not respond to two emailed requests for comment on her views sent in the past three weeks. <i>The Fix</i>
asked if she would support government support for marriage, such as tax
breaks, if they were better tailored to benefit all racial groups.</p> </div><div class="author-bar">Letiecq employs “critical family theorizing…to delineate an overarching orientation to structural oppression and unequal power relations that
advantages [white heteropatriarchal nuclear families] and marginalizes
others as a function of marriage fundamentalism.”
<p> </p><p>Letiecq says the government has coerced “its citizens to enter into
an institution built upon White heteropatriarchal supremacy.” Letiecq
says marriage as an institution has allowed white heterosexual couples
“to gain access to benefits, rights, and protections.”</p>
<p> </p><p>She cohabitates with her partner and their children “in a committed heterosexual union outside the institution of marriage.”</p>
<p> </p><p>Letiecq concludes that only white heterosexual couples reap the
social and financial benefits of marriage subsidized by the government
while minority Americans do not gain any such benefits.</p><p> </p>

<p> </p><p>Marriage scholar Brad Wilcox disagrees with the George Mason professor.</p>
<p> </p><p>“Marriage is an institution that has advanced the common good in many
civilizations, from Europe to the Americas, and from Asia to Africa,”
Wilcox told <i>The Fix</i> via email.</p>
<p> </p><p>“Marriage benefits children of all racial and ethnic backgrounds,”
the University of Virginia sociologist and director of the National
Marriage Project wrote. He also recently published <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/closing-of-the-american-heart-scholar-calls-for-marriage-to-save-civilization/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">a book</a> about the benefits of marriage.</p>
<p> </p><p>He pointed <i>The Fix</i> to <a href="https://ifstudies.org/blog/less-poverty-less-prison-more-college-what-two-parents-mean-for-black-and-white-children" rel="noopener">several</a> <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/06/17/single-moms-great-families-dads-better/7705997002/" rel="noopener">articles</a> he wrote that show the importance of married fathers and the harms of single-parent households.</p>
<p> </p><p>The paper is “terrifying” according to Terry Schilling, the president of a pro-family group.</p>
<p> </p><p>The paper “suggests far-left academics are ramping up their attacks
on the family, the most important institution in society,” the American
Principles Project leader told <i>The Fix</i> via an emailed statement.</p>
<p> </p><p>“Although the social science on the immense benefits of strong,
intact families is unimpeachable, this author simply waves them away,”
Schilling said. “She ignores the extreme harm that has come to minority
Americans as a result of family breakdown in their communities.”</p>
<p> </p><p>He also criticized her for “paradoxically” blaming “the government
for ‘reproducing’ this ‘family inequality’ in America, even as she also
admits the welfare state’s privileging of families hasn’t arrested the
drop in marriage rates.”</p>
<p> </p><p>He said it is “dangerous” to “attempt to degrade the family” since “it is already in serious decline.”</p>
<p> </p><p>“We need to be doing what we can right now to shore up the family,
not tear it down. Otherwise, our society won’t be ‘reproducing’ much of
anything in the very near future.”</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><b><i>Source:</i></b> <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/marriage-promotes-white-supremacy-george-mason-professor/" target="_blank">The College Fix <br /></a></p></div>PostDiscushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04007658260606543302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590953216579720122.post-6807391916286527152024-03-16T05:00:00.002+01:002024-03-16T05:00:00.133+01:00Liberals paid WEF for report justifying climate change policies<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/thecountersignal.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/TCS_Article_Graphic-134.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="450" src="https://i0.wp.com/thecountersignal.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/TCS_Article_Graphic-134.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1" width="800" /></a></div><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Documents reveal the Liberals’ Climate Change department paid the World
Economic Forum (WEF) to produce a report that made an economic case for
their environmental agenda, including the ever-increasing carbon tax.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"> <br /></h3><p>In August 2019, the Environment and Climate Change (ECCC)
department’s then-minister, Catherine McKenna, gave $493,937 of taxpayer
dollars to the WEF to produce the report, as revealed in response to an
Order Paper Question sent by Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis.</p><p> </p>
<p>Specifically, the documents reveal the ECCC gave money “to enable [the WEF] to produce and disseminate a report <em>that will establish the business and economic case for safeguarding nature</em>.” </p><p> </p>
<p>“This report will be directed at senior decision makers in governments and businesses who have <em>the influence and ability to shift business-as-usual approach</em>,” the ECCC stated. [Emphasis added]</p><p> </p>
<p>Six months later, the WEF provided the Liberals exactly what they asked for. </p><p> </p>
<p>In their report <em>New Nature Economy Report Series</em>, the WEF <a href="https://www.weforum.org/reports/new-nature-economy-report-series">sourced</a>
papers favouring a carbon tax. Furthermore, the report’s policy
recommendation stated “Carbon pricing should also be introduced.”</p><p> </p>
<p>The report highlighted Colombia’s carbon scheme – where they tax
liquid fossil fuels at $5/tonne – and pointed out that the taxes yielded
revenues.</p><p> </p>
<p>“What is required is bold policy ambition and decisive political
leadership to signal that business-as-usual is no longer viable,” the
report concluded. </p><p> </p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>COVID leveraged for “The Great Reset”</strong></h4>
<p>Despite being published only in June 2020 – just months after the
COVID virus emerged from Wuhan, China — the WEF also urged governments
to “use their fiscal recovery programmes to reset the economy on more
resilient, equitable, and sustainable terms.”</p><p> </p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Carbon Tax gets hiked </strong></h4>
<p>Just months later, in December 2020, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
announced a significant hike in his government’s carbon tax scheme — one
that would raise the tax on fuels to $170 a tonne by 2030.</p><p> </p>
<p>The government’s <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/news/2020/12/a-healthy-environment-and-a-healthy-economy.html">statement</a>
“Propose[d] to strengthen Canada’s approach to reducing methane
emissions from the oil and gas sector by establishing new targets and
associated regulations for 2030 and 2035, based on international best
practices.”</p><p> </p>
<p>Currently the carbon tax is at $65 per carbon tonne, and will
increase yet again on April 1 to $80 per, despite the majority of
Canadians and Premiers expressing opposition to the tax. </p><p> </p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>WEF has penetrated the Liberal cabinet </strong></h4>
<p>Perhaps the most infamous line in WEF history comes from the
mastermind behind the unelected organization, Klaus Schwab, openly
bragging about having “penetrated” half of the federal Liberal cabinet. </p><p> </p>
<p>Adding further evidence to their alignment, The Epoch Times <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/former-finance-ministers-thank-you-letter-to-wef-suggests-more-collaborating-than-disclosed-5605978">uncovered</a>
an undated letter earlier this week, one that was sent to the WEF from
former Finance Minister Bill Morneau. In it, Morneau praises the group
and thanks them for their support, though it’s not clear what support
he’s referring to. </p><p> </p>
<p>“I would also like to take this opportunity to express my sincere
appreciation to the WEF staff, for the support provided to the
Government of Canada,” he wrote.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"> </h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"> </h3><p> <b><i>Source:</i></b> <a href="https://thecountersignal.com/liberals-paid-wef-for-report-justifying-climate-change-policies-2/" target="_blank">The Counter Signal</a> <br /></p>PostDiscushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04007658260606543302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590953216579720122.post-75769301553109640282024-03-14T17:45:00.001+01:002024-03-14T17:45:58.240+01:00The DANGERS of Foreign Truck Drivers in USA & Canada<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1Y5rcj4BYpY" width="750" youtube-src-id="1Y5rcj4BYpY"></iframe></div><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"> <span class="yt-core-attributed-string yt-core-attributed-string--white-space-pre-wrap"><span class="yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color" style="color: #131313;">Have you noticed the pattern of tragic accidents and incidences in the USA & Canada?

of “home-jackings,” which are burglaries accompanied by violence and
kidnapping. The cases often involve “youths” recruited by experienced
ringleaders, such as Kamel Z., who keep their distance from their
criminal underlings to insulate themselves from any prosecution.</h3><p> </p>
<p>The country has a history of these violent home invasions, but recent
months have seen an explosion of such cases, including well-known
French figures, such as Vitaa, Bruno Guillon, Jean-François Piège,
Anne-Sophie Lapix, and Nikos Aliagas.</p><p> </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2023 marks a new milestone</h2>
<p>In a special television report by <a class="ek-link" href="https://www.bfmtv.com/police-justice/home-jacking-quand-la-terreur-penetre-dans-le-domicile-des-stars-et-des-francais_GN-202402190844.html">BFMTV</a>,
the French news outlet reviewed the most recent cases. On July 21,
2023, a gang broke into the Paris home of PSG’s Italian goalkeeper
Gianluigi Donnarumma and his partner, with the perpetrators tying up and
stripping both victims. Then, on Sept. 27, the same type of home
invasion, with the victims also being stripped, occurred against Bruno
Guillon in the Paris region. Guillon, a host on French TV, was
threatened with a handgun while his wife was tied up, gagged, and
threatened with a hammer. Their 14-year-old son was also tied up inside
his room and clamped in place.</p>
<p> </p><p>On Dec. 18, the home of Alexandre Letelier, who serves as the backup
goalkeeper for PSG, was invaded. Both he and his partner were threatened
with death in front of their two children, aged two and six. Just two
days later, on Dec. 20, the singer Vitaa was kidnapped, along with her
husband and three children, after being targeted inside their home in
Rueil-Malmaison. </p>
<p> </p><p>Just a few weeks later, on Feb. 6, 2024, a team broke into Aya
Nakumra’s home in Seine-Saint-Denis in Paris. They beat him to the point
of hospitalization and robbed his residence. </p>
<p> </p><p>Other celebrities, such as Nikos Alliagas, a Greek-French entertainer
and journalist, as well as journalist Anne-Sophie Lapix, have also been
targeted by burglary teams, but those attempts were foiled. </p>
<p> </p><p>As BMFTV reports, many of these celebrities are targeted due to their
presence on social media, where they show off their luxury watches,
handbags, and other items. </p>
<p> </p><p>“They are known for having money and property,” said Laurent Nuñez,
the Paris police chief. “You just have to follow certain Facebook or
Instagram profiles. We find a lot of information, both about the
property held by future victims, and then obviously on their addresses
and lifestyle.”</p>
<p> </p><p>Once the information has been collected, the criminals can take
action. In most cases, they “pose as a fake deliveryman, from La Poste
or Amazon (…) with a parcel in hand,” explains Djassim Belkourchia, a
delegate of the Alliance Police Nationale union.</p>
<p> </p><p>“Committing a home-jacking in the presence of the occupants often
allows them to ask for information on the whereabouts of the goods that
are sought, jewelry, luxury watches or computer equipment,” estimates
Laurent Nuñez.</p><p> </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">France powerless to stop the crimes</h2>
<p>Although these crimes have picked up steam in recent months, they
have long plagued France. In July 2021, Guillaume Pley, a television
presenter, learned that his wife and son, along with their nanny, had
been victims of a violent house-jacking while he was flying to the
Cannes Film Festival.</p>
<p> </p><p>In that case, three men barged into the house when the mother, Agathe, had opened the door expecting the nanny.</p>
<p> </p><p>They pointed a gun at her son’s head, and told Agathe, “If you make any noise, you know what will happen.” </p>
<p> </p><p>“It’s difficult for a mother, it’s a scene that she won’t forget,” he said about the incident.</p>
<p> </p><p>The burglars were looking for a luxury watch they had seen the French
host wearing on social media, but he had the watch on him during his
flight.</p>
<p> </p><p>“She thought she was going to die because they were very hard on her
when they couldn’t find the safe. It made them a little crazy,” he said.</p>
<p> </p><p>The burglars fled with a counterfeit version of the watch worth a few hundred euros.</p><p> </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Most of the criminals are minors</h2>
<p>Following the home invasion of Guillon, two minors and two others who were barely adults were arrested.</p>
<p> </p><p>“What characterizes the profile of these young perpetrators is that
they are essentially all minors. They are perfectly known to the police
and justice for acts of violence (…) sometimes even violence with drug
trafficking weapons, and they have already been condemned by the
judicial authorities,” said Philippe Franchet, the commissioner of the
Versailles banditry repression police unit.</p>
<p> </p><p>However, despite participating in these high-profile crimes, many of
these youths have little experience with home-jackings. In most cases,
they are recruited by professionals, such as the 27-year-old Kamel Z.,
who is well known to police and has seven convictions. </p>
<p> </p><p>He is accused of recruiting young men across Paris, and in many
cases, he pays them just a few thousand euros. These underlings do not
know each other and often know very little about their targets. </p>
<p> </p><p>“They already have some experience in the world of banditry and
police techniques. They think they will protect themselves from
investigations and criminal liability by using young people who are a
little less experienced,” explains Philippe Franchet. <br /><br /> </p><p>Kamel Z.
has been indicted for home-jacking at Bruno Guillon’s house, but
investigators are also exploring his role in other violent
house-jackings.</p>
<p> </p><p>The BFMTV report notes that these home-jackings are not just
targeting celebrities, but also families with no public-facing role. The
Merlin family, for instance, was targeted in Calais in April 2023. The
mother, Aurelie, was confronted while sleeping on the sofa by a man
wearing a white mask and a black hood. </p>
<p> </p><p>“He started hitting me in the face. I was so paralyzed that I didn’t
even feel the blows. I was not in pain, but I could feel the blood
starting to flow down my cheek. He hit me again, he asked me for money
and he ran away,” says the mother.</p>
<p> </p><p>She described it as a traumatic event that has left her checking her
windows every night out of fear someone could slip into the house.</p>
<p> </p><p>One psychologist described these home-jackings as one of the most traumatic crimes anyone can experience.</p>
<p> </p><p>“It’s someone who enters into their private space… The victim is
marked in her mind, she knows that this is where the trauma took place
and for her, to go back to rebuild herself, she needs to turn the page
and therefore change homes very often,” said Marjorie Sueur, a
psychologist.</p>
<p> </p><p>In many cases, the victims are advised to change their homes and start over someplace else.</p><p> </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Home security sales soaring</h2>
<p>The brutal crime often leaves many families with trauma, involving
both physical and mental scars. Such cases are not just hitting the
wealthy and famous either, but ordinary French citizens dealt with over
210,000 home burglaries last year, with a third of these cases occurring
while the family was still home.</p><p> </p>
<p>Now, the sale of home security systems is soaring, with France
inching towards a state of insecurity often seen in countries like South
Africa and Brazil. </p><p> </p>
<p>One businessman involved in the sale of home security systems says
that in the five years he has been in the business, he has never been so
profitable. </p>
<p> </p><p>“More and more, people are calling on me for preventive measures (…).
We have seen 300 percent more turnover since the start of the year

allegedly threatening to kill populist leader Geert Wilders, who has
spent over a decade under police protection and is one of the most
targeted politicians in the Netherlands. <a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/03/26371788police-arrest-man-over-death-threats-against-populist-leader-and-fierce-islam-critic-geert-wilders-26371788.mp3" target="_blank">Listen To Story</a></h3><p class="subheading"><br /></p>
<p class="a8d-pre">Geert Wilders, who pulled off a “mega victory” in the
Dutch general election in November, thanked Amsterdam police for their
swift action in responding to the latest threat against his life, <i>De Telegraaf</i> <a class="x5l" href="https://www.telegraaf.nl/nieuws/761677568/man-aangehouden-voor-bedreigen-geert-wilders" rel="noopener external" target="_blank">reports</a>.</p><p class="a8d-pre"> </p>

on social media following the arrest: “Many thanks to the Amsterdam
police unit who arrested a person in a home this weekend because of a
threat to kill me… Without the police, I would be an outlaw.”</p><p> </p>
<p class="a8d-pre">Wilders has long been subjected to death threats,
mostly in response to his blunt criticism of the Islamic religion and
its teachings, and has received police protection for many years, and
has been forced to hire 24-hour security and resides in a safe house for
his protection. The Party for Freedom (PVV) leader has <a class="x5l" href="https://nos.nl/artikel/2512208-man-aangehouden-die-dreigde-pvv-leider-wilders-te-vermoorden" rel="noopener external" target="_blank">claimed</a> that he receives multiple threats daily, sometimes as many as hundreds per day.</p><p class="a8d-pre"> </p>
<p>Following the release of his 2008 short film <i>Fitna</i>, which
argued against the theology of the Qur’an and claimed the Islamic holy
text was responsible for inspiring terrorism, antisemitism, violence
against women, and the persecution of homosexuals and infidels,
extremist leaders tied to Al-Qaeda issued fatwas (death warrants) on
Wilders’ head.</p><p> </p>

at The Hague, there were 1,125 death threats made against politicians in
2022, with at least half of those being directed towards Wilders.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p class="a8d-pre" style="text-align: left;">Just last September, a prominent Pakistani international cricket player Khalid Latif was <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/09/11/former-international-cricketer-sentenced-to-12-years-for-inciting-murder-against-dutch-populist-wilders/">sentenced</a>
to 12 years in prison over his offering of a $23,000 bounty for anyone
who killed the politician over his views on Islam. However, as Latif is
believed to reside in Pakistan, the Dutch court ruling will likely never
come into force, given that there is no extradition treaty between the
two countries.</p><p class="a8d-pre" style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The latest incident comes as Wilders is continuing to try to form a
government, following last November’s elections, which saw his Party for
Freedom given a resounding victory, receiving 24 per cent of the vote
or 37 seats in the Dutch House of Representatives, an increase of 20
seats from the prior election.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Despite meeting with intransigence from the supposedly conservative
establishment figures in trying to form a coalition to govern the
country, Wilders’ party has continued to rise in the polls. An Ipsos
poll conducted at the end of February put the PVV’s support at 31.1 per
cent, making the populist party by far the most popular in the country,
with the next most popular — the coalition between the Greens and the
Dutch Labour Party (PvdA) of EU Green deal architect Frans Timmermans —
only managing to muster around 16 per cent support.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Nevertheless, leaders of supposed centre-right parties such as Pieter
Omtzigt, the head of the new neo-liberal New Social Contract, have so
far refused to enter into government with Wilders over his previous
calls to ban the Qur’an among others, meaning that the Dutch people may
be called upon again for yet another election.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Speaking earlier this month, Wilders called on his potential
coalition partners to show courage and step up to form a government he
said — and polls show — the public wants to see formed. <a class="x5l" href="https://www.telegraaf.nl/nieuws/392304559/wilders-doet-beroep-op-vvd-en-nsc-beweeg-alsjeblieft" rel=" noopener external" target="_blank">He said</a>:
“It is necessary for parties to jump over their shadows… The
alternative is not something that makes me very happy. I also think that
the Netherlands wants it to succeed.”</p><p> </p> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></center> <center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Geert Wilders Coalition Talks Collapse, Leaving No Clear Path Forward <a href="https://t.co/gh96IC35ry">https://t.co/gh96IC35ry</a></p>— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) <a href="https://twitter.com/BreitbartLondon/status/1756094374599954627?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 9, 2024</a></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Source:</i></b> <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/03/11/26371788police-arrest-man-over-death-threats-against-populist-leader-and-fierce-islam-critic-geert-wilders/" target="_blank">Breitbart </a><br /></p> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></center>PostDiscushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04007658260606543302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590953216579720122.post-23559216952408782132024-03-11T12:03:00.000+01:002024-03-11T12:03:43.300+01:00 Lefties losing it: Sky News host reacts to trans athlete ‘mocking women’ <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9v34bo3kNvU" width="750" youtube-src-id="9v34bo3kNvU"></iframe></div><p> </p><p> <span class="yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color" style="color: #131313;">Sky News host Rita Panahi has reacted to transgender woman Anne Andres having the nerve to “mock women”. </span></p><p><span class="yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color" style="color: #131313;"> </span></p><p><span class="yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color" style="color: #131313;"> Ms Panahi criticised “men who identify as women” for having the nerve to compete in women’s sports. </span></p><p><span class="yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color" style="color: #131313;"> </span></p><p><span class="yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color" style="color: #131313;">“They have a massive unfair advantage,” Ms Panahi said.

who tested positive for COVID-19 and took ivermectin as a treatment
recovered faster than a comparison group, a new study found.</p><p> </p>
<p>The time to self-reported recovery was a median of two days faster
among the ivermectin recipients, according to the large UK study.</p><p> </p><div class="disce-content" id="disce-1710320729"><div class="alert alert-warning"><strong>Mike Lindell and <a href="https://www.mypillow.com/jdr">MyPillow</a>

<p>The quicker recovery period was statistically significant.</p><p> </p>
<p>People who received ivermectin were also less likely to be
hospitalized or die, with 1.6 percent of ivermectin recipients being
hospitalized or dying versus 4 percent of the comparison group, which
received typical care, which in the UK is largely focused on managing
symptoms.</p><p> </p>
<p>Ivermectin recipients also enjoyed a reduction of severe symptoms and sustained recovery, according to the study.</p><p> </p>
<p>The paper was published <a href="https://www.journalofinfection.com/article/S0163-4453(24)00064-1/fulltext">by the Journal of Infection</a> on Feb. 29.</p><p> </p><div class="disce-content_2" id="disce-2021207563"><hr /><hr /> </div><div class="disce-content_2" id="disce-2021207563"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li> <a href="https://discernreport.com/three-reasons-lab-grown-meat-must-be-stopped/">Three Reasons Lab-Grown “Meat” Must Be Stopped</a></li></ul></div><div class="disce-content_2" id="disce-2021207563"> <hr />
</div>
<p> </p><p>The study covered an open-label trial that involved 2,157 ivermectin
recipients and 3,256 who received typical care from June 23, 2021, to
July 1, 2022. Participants were randomized and reported symptoms and
recovery.</p><p> </p>
<h2>Researchers Say Findings Don’t Support Using Ivermectin</h2>
<p> </p><p>The authors, including Christopher Butler, a University of Oxford
professor and joint chief investigator of the trial, downplayed the
positive findings in part because the hazard ratio of 1.14 was lower
than what authors pre-specified as a meaningful ratio, or 1.2. Hazard
ratios are a way to determine whether a treatment is beneficial.</p><p> </p>
<p>The authors also focused on the lack of differences in the number of
days participants felt sick in the previous two weeks, impact on work,
and likelihood of using the health care system at 3, 6, and 12 months
following treatment.</p><p> </p>
<p>“Overall, these findings, while evidencing a small benefit in symptom
duration, do not support the use of ivermectin as treatment for
COVID-19 in the community among a largely vaccinated population at the
dose and duration we used,” the authors said.</p><p> </p><div class="disce-content_3" id="disce-1179767890"><div class="alert alert-info"><strong>China

<p>Funding for the research came from the UK government.</p><p> </p>
<p>Conflicts of interest included one researcher receiving grants from
pharmaceutical companies, including AstraZeneca, and other authors
receiving grants from the University of Oxford.</p><p> </p>
<p>The trial, known as PRINCIPLE, was touted by investigators as “the
world’s largest clinical trial of possible COVID-19 treatments for
recovery at home and in other non-hospital settings.”</p><p> </p>
<p>“Ivermectin is readily available globally, has been in wide use for
many other infectious conditions so it’s a well-known medicine with a
good safety profile, and because of the early promising results in some
studies it is already being widely used to treat COVID-19 in several
countries,” Dr. Christopher Butler, a University of Oxford professor and
joint chief investigator of the trial, said when it was announced
ivermectin would be assessed. “By including ivermectin in a large-scale
trial like PRINCIPLE, we hope to generate robust evidence to determine
how effective the treatment is against COVID-19, and whether there are
benefits or harms associated with its use.”</p><p> </p><div class="disce-content_4" id="disce-1453317426"><hr />

</div>
<h2>Doctors Weigh In</h2>
<p>Dr. Pierre Kory, an American physician who was not involved in the
trial, said that the authors wrongly downplayed how ivermectin improved
recovery from COVID-19.</p><p> </p>
<p>“PRINCIPLE was a profoundly positive study that was instead analyzed
and written up as a negative one,” Dr. Kory, who has long promoted
ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment, wrote in an essay.</p><p> </p>
<p>He accused the authors of undertaking “statistical chicanery” by
coming up with the pre-specified hazard ratio (HR), noting that no such
level was used in other parts of the PRINCIPLE trial.</p><p> </p>
<p>“A hazard ratio does not need a pre-specified level. If the HR is
> 1.0, and it is statistically significant, it is a robust finding,”
he said.</p><p> </p><div class="disce-content_5" id="disce-951534643"><hr /> </div><div class="disce-content_5" id="disce-951534643"> <h5><a href="https://basedunderground.com/2024/02/28/five-things-new-preppers-forget-when-getting-ready-for-bad-times-ahead/">Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead</a></h5></div><div class="disce-content_5" id="disce-951534643"> <hr />
</div>
<p> </p><p>The positive findings should also be interpreted in the context of
recipients only receiving one dose per day across three days and being
directed not to eat food before ivermectin, Dr. Kory said.</p>
<p> </p><p>Dr. Butler and his co-authors <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24460059-principle-protocol">said</a> “no food should be taken two hours before or after administration” despite previous research <a href="https://accp1.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1177/009127002237994">finding</a> that taking ivermectin with food increases plasma concentration.</p>
<p> </p><p>Participants also received ivermectin a median of five days after
symptom onset, a period of time considered by some to be too late to
have much of an impact. Ivermectin works best when applied within 24
hours of symptom manifestation, according to <a href="https://c19ivm.org/meta.html">a meta-regression</a> of ivermectin studies.<br />
Dr. Butler did not respond to a request for comment.</p>
<p> </p><p>There have been <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/fda-says-ivermectin-doesnt-work-against-covid-19-but-points-to-studies-that-show-it-does-4903968">additional studies</a>
that found ivermectin worked against COVID-19. The drug, commonly used
for purposes such as combating malaria, has divided scientists since
2020, when doctors around the world began using it to treat COVID-19.</p><p> </p><div class="disce-content_6" id="disce-1987365723"><blockquote class="pullquote align-center">
<h4>Coffee the Christian way: <a href="https://promisedgrounds.com/jdrucker">Promised Grounds</a></h4></blockquote><p> </p>
</div>
<p>Some other research, including <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2801827">a U.S. trial</a>, has found that ivermectin did not improve time to recovery.</p><p> </p>
<p>Dr. David Boulware, another American doctor, who helped run that
trial, argued on X that the faster recovery recorded in the UK trial was
similar to the quicker recovery reported in an open-label trial of
molnupiravir, an antiviral sometimes used to treat COVID-19.</p><p> </p>
<p>“Molnupiravir also had a 2 day faster improvement in symptoms over
‘usual care’ yet no benefit existed in double-blind trial,” Dr. Boulware
said on X. “Placebo effect influences self-reported symptoms.”</p><p> </p>

Palestinians in Gaza by stealing food that arrives in humanitarian aid
shipments and then selling it on the black market, according to Zvika
Klein, editor of the <i>Jerusalem Post</i>. <a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/03/report-hamas-starves-palestinians-by-stealing-food-selling-on-black-market-26364038.mp3" target="_blank">Listen To Story</a><br /></h3>
<p class="a8d-pre"> </p><p class="a8d-pre">Those who cannot afford to pay the exorbitant prices
are going hungry, he said — not for lack of aid deliveries, but because
Hamas seizes the aid on entry and uses it to enrich itself and fund its
ongoing war against Israel.</p>
<p> </p><p>Klein’s account of the situation in Gaza corroborates anecdotal
information from social media videos, showing people selling food

<div style="text-align: left;"><p> </p><blockquote><p>“The food shortage and use of the word ‘hunger’ have been
exaggerated,” a senior Israeli defense official told me on Thursday
during a briefing. “There is no hunger in Gaza,” he said, explaining
that most of the food that Israel has been sending into the Strip has
“immediately been taken by Hamas terrorists, who then sell some of the
supplies for ten times more than what it’s worth.”</p></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote>
<p>…</p>
<p></p></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote><p>A former senior Israeli defense official who I spoke to on condition
of anonymity has also said that “there is no food shortage in Gaza;
there are those who are hungry since Hamas has taken all of the food and
they don’t have enough money to pay Hamas on the black market.”</p>
<p></p></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote><p>According to this former official, the food does not reach those who
need it most since Hamas controls approximately 70-80% of the area. What
happens is that Israel and foreign countries bring food and aid into
Gaza. Then gangs take the supplies at gunpoint, and a significant
portion of the population is left unable to afford necessities.</p></blockquote></div>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">Klein acknowledged that there is hunger in Gaza, but argued that it
is being perpetuated by Hamas. Hamas’s strategy is to create suffering
among the Palestinian people that triggers the world to isolate Israel
and force it to end the war before it has destroyed the terrorist
organization that launched the October 7 terror attacks.</p>
<p class="a8d-pre" style="text-align: left;"> </p><p class="a8d-pre" style="text-align: left;">On Friday, the <i>Wall Street Journal</i> <a class="x5l" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/the-vicious-cycle-driving-gazas-north-to-famine-3dc85313" rel="noopener external" target="_blank">reported</a>
that there is a “vicious cycle” increasing hunger in northern Gaza, in
which international organizations and Israel that try to bring food into
the area are attacked by residents, making it more difficult to bring
food into the area, and increasing hunger. There are debates about how
best to improve access to food and other aid.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/03/07/fact-check-biden-says-no-u-s-boots-will-be-on-the-ground-for-gaza-port-project/">said</a>
in his State of the Union address Thursday that the U.S. would build a
port in Gaza to help with the delivery of aid, though he also claimed
there would be no U.S. “boots on the ground,” creating doubt about how
the project would be handled.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">The U.S. and other countries have been using airdrops of aid, though these have no independent means of reaching the needy.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">Israel has said that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
(UNRWA), which caters specifically to Palestinians, lacks the capacity
to deliver aid and is compromised by its association with terrorism. But
there is no alternative yet.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">A hostage deal that would bring about a temporary pause in the
fighting would help, but Hamas refuses to reach an agreement to release
captive Israelis unless Israel leaves Gaza and ends the war.</p>

his vision and leaving attendees worried and confused. <a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/03/macron-again-talks-troops-in-ukraine-we-cannot-afford-to-set-limits-26357643.mp3" target="_blank">Listen To Story</a><br /></h3>
<p class="a8d-pre"> </p><p class="a8d-pre">The leaders of France’s political parties attended a
Ukraine war meeting at the Élysée Palace on Thursday, where they were
briefed by President Macron and shown military maps. Macron’s insistence
on continuing to talk about a theoretical deployment to Ukraine is
ruffling feathers in Germany, which has pleaded with its European
neighbour to please stop bringing it up.</p>
<p> </p><p>The French party leaders, many of whom are decidedly at odds with
Macron and his politics, have resisted other such all-party meetings
before but the President’s <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/02/29/ww3-watch-macron-insists-his-controversial-boots-on-ground-comments-measured-and-thought-through/">recent comments </a>on the Ukraine War were evidently enough to bring them in.</p>
<p> </p><p>The meeting was clearly a change of mood for Macron too, given that
it entailed treating as legitimate political actors parties like Marine
Le Pen’s right-populist National Rally, which otherwise his deputy
branded “<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/02/29/french-pm-suggests-populists-are-putins-troops-for-questioning-macrons-march-to-war-rhetoric/">Vladimir Putin’s footsoldiers</a>” after the party criticised his position of being open-minded on sending troops to Ukraine last week.</p><p> </p>

<p class="a8d-pre"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p class="a8d-pre"><span style="font-weight: 400;">National public prosecutor Ángel Valencia </span><a class="x5l" href="https://www.t13.cl/noticia/politica/fiscal-nacional-no-descarta-movil-politico-secuestro-homicidio-del-exmilitar-5-3-2024" rel=" noopener external" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">stated</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">
on Monday that Chilean authorities have not ruled out the possible
involvement of the Maduro regime in Ojeda’s death, given his status as a
political dissident and escaped political prisoner.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Consequently, they say that there
may have been behind his murder the purpose of sending a signal to the
dissidents, to the people who have sought refuge outside the country,”
Valencia said, “that the hand of those who may persecute them may be
very long and go beyond the borders of their own nation. That is a
version that has been sustained and that we cannot discard.”</span></p>

Ojeda and some 30 other current and former members of the military of
being involved in “Operation White Bracelet,” a purported plan to
assassinate Maduro himself and his henchmen.</span></p>

given on Monday to a local radio station, Prosecutor Valencia said that
officials from his office kept silent over the case because there was
“no doubt that it was an atypical kidnapping” due to the resources
employed and because the victim was a former Venezuelan military officer
and dissident.</span></p>
<p class="a8d-pre"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p class="a8d-pre"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There was no doubt that it was a matter that was relevant for the Chilean State,” Valencia said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">modus operandi</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">
or the level of logistical development, the number of resources
allocated, etc. at this point we are no longer surprised, we are
concerned,” he continued. “We have seen the way they work and most
probably the amount of resources allocated, the number of people
involved, the preparation, the follow-up.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Whether or not this was planned from
outside, we already know that when there is a gang that responds to the
characteristics of transnational organized crime it is probable that it
acts according to orders given by someone who is not inside Chile,”
Valencia said. “But everything has to be investigated.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chilean lawyer Juan Carlos Manríquez, who is representing Ojeda’s family, </span><a class="x5l" href="https://www.biobiochile.cl/noticias/nacional/chile/2024/03/05/abogado-de-familia-de-ronald-ojeda-no-tengo-ninguna-duda-que-fue-un-crimen-por-encargo.shtml" rel=" noopener external" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> local media that he has “no doubts” that the dissident’s abduction and murder were ordered.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I have no doubt that this was a
kidnapping and a contract crime. This alleged criminal organization
would be carrying out a business assignment from someone who did have an
interest in him,” Manríquez said. “But in addition to that, in this
case there is no indication that Ronald Ojeda was linked to any illicit
activity.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chilean far-left President Gabriel
Boric has not publicly commented on the case at press time. Security
Minister Carolina Tohá, in response to criticism from local opposition
politicians over Boric’s lack of public statements on the matter, </span><a class="x5l" href="https://www.t13.cl/noticia/politica/toha-por-silencio-boric-caso-ojeda-presidente-actua-traves-su-gobierno-5-3-2024" rel=" noopener external" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">asserted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Tuesday that Boric acts through his government.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“He acts through the ministries that
work for his administration; he acts through the public policies
promoted by those ministries and the government of President Gabriel
Boric,” Tohá said. “In this case, [he] has acted with full force from
day one and will continue to do so until this is clarified and
punished.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tohá claimed Boric had weighed in
silently on the matter by “reinforcing and supporting the work of the
police and the Prosecutor’s Office … [and] making contact with people
who are in similar situations to that of the victim and who may feel
frightened and require protection.”</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b> </b></h3><p>Labeled a serial attacker of the elderly, the 36-year-old man has
attacked 17 elderly women in Rennes in recent weeks, often with extreme
violence. Due to the series of assaults, police set up surveillance

During the last day of the
market in Villejean, police officers caught the man in the middle of a
vicious assault on a senior who was walking on crutches at the time.
Prosecutor Philippe Astruc said the suspect “slammed the head of an
83-year-old woman against the doorknob of her building.” </p><p class="entry-title" style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p>Just a few minutes before that, police determined the man had
attacked a 73-year-old woman and stole her wallet. Shortly before that,
at 9:30 a.m., he beat a 78-year-old woman who was using a walker. He was
unable to steal the woman’s handbag, but the attacker grabbed her bag
of tomatoes and ran off, according to French newspaper <a class="ek-link" href="https://www.letelegramme.fr/ille-et-vilaine/rennes-35000/a-rennes-un-serial-agresseur-de-femmes-agees-fait-17-victimes-6535583.php">Le Telegramme</a>.</p><p> </p><p>In total, the man is being charged with robbing and assaulting 17 different elderly women in the space of weeks. </p><p> </p>
<p>Among his victims was also a 93-year-old woman named Lillane, who
also spoke to other victims who had been targeted by the African. </p><p> </p><p>“I met a lady, he broke her wrist. And I came across another one, she
had half of her face affected. She told me, ‘I was looking for you, I
wanted to see you, you are the first one he hit!’ He punched her in the
face, you should see her face,” said Lillane while speaking with French
newspaper <a class="ek-link" href="https://www.letelegramme.fr/ille-et-vilaine/rennes-35000/je-ne-pouvais-plus-bouger-une-rennaise-de-93-ans-victime-dun-agresseur-en-serie-6535062.php">Le Telegramme</a>.</p><p> </p>
<p>She explained that she met “five other victims,” all of them elderly
and all of whom had been the victim of extreme brutality by the suspect.
Regarding her own experience with the African, Lillane said that he was
in his “thirties and well-dressed” and did not hesitate to slam her to
the ground and put his hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming. </p><p> </p><p>

group were killed in a shootout in Russia’s volatile North Caucasus
region, in what the country’s National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC)
described Sunday as a “counterterrorism operation.” <a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/03/russians-have-deadly-shootout-with-alleged-islamic-state-terrorists-in-north-caucasus-region-26310128.mp3" target="_blank">Listen To Story</a><br /></h3>
<p class="a8d-pre"> </p><p class="a8d-pre">According to a statement by the NAC, late on Saturday
the six men barricaded themselves in a third-floor apartment in
Karabulak, a town of about 30,000 in Russia’s semi-autonomous Republic
of Ingushetia. A shootout with security services followed, as
surrounding streets were blocked off and residents of the apartment
block evacuated to a nearby school, according to Russia’s Interfax
agency.</p>
<p> </p><p>Heavy gunfire and blasts appearing to come from inside an apartment
block could be heard in videos posted by Karabulak residents on social
media.</p>
<p class="a8d-pre"> </p><p class="a8d-pre">The NAC did not immediately name the alleged
militants, but said three of them were on Russia’s wanted list and all
six had been involved in violent acts, including an attack on a traffic
police unit last March that killed three officers.</p>
<p> </p><p>The local branch of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), the
country’s main security agency, announced at 7:30 p.m. local time on
Saturday that emergency measures were being brought in the vicinity of
the building due to an ongoing “counterterrorism” operation. The
restrictions were lifted shortly after midday on Sunday.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

He urged people to "unapologetically fight" against "dark forces." At the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, Bukele told people to use El Salvador as a warning. The President of El Salvador also lashed out at George Soros and global elites for influencing public policy and laws in the United States. </span></span></p><p><span class="yt-core-attributed-string yt-core-attributed-string--white-space-pre-wrap"><span class="yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color" style="color: #131313;"> </span></span></p><p><span class="yt-core-attributed-string yt-core-attributed-string--white-space-pre-wrap"><span class="yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color" style="color: #131313;"><b><i>Source:</i></b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheEconomicTimes" target="_blank">Economic Times</a> <br /></span></span></p><p></p>PostDiscushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04007658260606543302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590953216579720122.post-18741002142951225012024-03-03T17:18:00.000+01:002024-03-03T17:18:43.789+01:00Maine Residents Furious over $13M Tax Bill for ‘Taj Mahal’ Where Migrants Get Two Years of Free Rent<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/03/Maine-Migrants-640x480.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/03/Maine-Migrants-640x480.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><h3 class="subheading" style="text-align: left;">Residents of Maine are expressing their outrage
over the state’s plans to spend $13 million on constructing apartment
complexes for illegal border crossers where some could be afforded up to
two years of free rent. <a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/03/maine-residents-furious-over-13m-tax-bill-for-taj-mahal-where-migrants-get-two-years-of-free-rent-26304783.mp3" target="_blank">Listen To Story</a><br /></h3><p class="subheading"> </p>
<p class="a8d-pre">The apartment complex plan — derisively labeled the
“Taj Mahal” for illegals — took a lot of heat from residents of
Brunswick during a February 20 city council meeting. The locals were
upset over the fact that the same apartments that cost citizens between
$1,800 and $2,300 a month were going to be handed out to illegals for
free.</p><p class="a8d-pre"> </p>

described as “disintegration warfare,” essentially engaging in war with
the United States but through means such as social chaos and division,
Peter Schweizer, author of <a class="x5l" href="https://www.amazon.com/Unti-Nonfiction-Anon9780063061194/dp/0063061198/?tag=breitbart035-20" rel="noopener external noopener external" target="_blank"><b><i>Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans</i></b></a>, said during an appearance on <i>Breitbart News Saturday</i>. <span style="color: #cc0000;"> <a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/03/exclusive-peter-schweizer-chinese-strategy-is-defeat-u-s-without-firing-shot-26306503.mp3" target="_blank">Listen To Story</a></span><br /></h3>
<p class="a8d-pre"> </p><p class="a8d-pre">“This strategy is, ‘Why have a kinetic war where we
kill Americans, they kill us? We get damaged. Why not simply try to
defeat them in war without actually appearing that we are at war?’ And
what that means is, they are going to, and they are, developing and
using strategies that are designed to divide Americans, to encourage
social chaos, to turn America against America,” Schweizer said,
explaining that social chaos in the United States is “magnified by
China.”</p>
<p> </p><p>Schweizer explained that there is a facility in China where they have
thousands of military officers, and each one has thousands of social
media accounts in the West, and “they’re posing as Americans.”</p>
<p class="a8d-pre"> </p><p class="a8d-pre">“And basically half of these social media accounts
say ‘America is a racist society’ and the other half say ‘I only like
white people,’ and it’s designed to magnify,” he said.</p>
<p> </p><p>“The strategy as they say it is, ‘Let’s defeat the United States
without actually having to fire a shot.’ And that’s essentially what
their strategy is,” the <i>Blood Money</i> author continued.</p>
<p> </p><p>“And they’ve been doing it over the last decade, and it manifests
itself in all kinds of ways,” he continued, explaining in great detail
how the Chinese are also intricately involved in poisoning Americans via
the fentanyl pipeline and using social media platforms to sow even more
discord in the United States.</p>
<p> </p><p>Schweizer explained that they attempted to take out ads for <i>Blood Money</i> on TikTok — owned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) — and they refused.</p>
<p class="a8d-pre"> </p><p class="a8d-pre">“It’s clear to me the reason they did not want these
ads run is because the ads focused on the fact that TikTok is directly
linked to the CCP, and as we point out in the book, they are explicitly
using it to undermine social cohesion in the United States and as a
propaganda tool against young people, and they’re very explicit about
how they do that,” Schweizer said.</p>
<p> </p><p>“We got access to Chinese military journals and publications. One
military official calls TikTok the Trojan Horse that they are using
against the West. And there were specific examples of how they use
emotion and they use other tools to subconsciously message to America’s
young people and to get them to reject the values that they were raised
with,” the seven-time <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author continued.</p><p> </p><p>“They’re very, very explicit about it. They’re very direct about it.
These are not my words. This is not my assessment. This is actually what
the Chinese military and the Ministry of Propaganda say and talk about
with regards to TikTok, and that’s what I think makes it so stunning and
explicit,” he said, explaining that American leaders are refusing to
discuss it because “there’s so many big investors who have money in
ByteDance — the parent company of TikTok — so you have investors at the
Carlyle Group that are very close to Joe Biden, who have a big stake in
this company.”</p><p> </p>
<p>“They could stand to lose billions of dollars if this app was banned.
So of course, Joe Biden reversed Donald Trump’s decision to force a
sale of TikTok. On the Republican side, you have organizations like Club
for Growth, one of their biggest donors. … Jeff Yass owns 17 percent of
ByteDance. And he is pushing the Club for Growth and others to say,
‘No, we don’t want a ban on TikTok.’ That’s the position of the Club for
Growth now. So it’s a pressure problem on both sides of the aisle. But
the evidence is clear of what TikTok does. They say it in their own
words, and our political leaders don’t want to act back on it because
their financial backers have large stakes in this company,” he added.</p><p> </p>

Adam Schiff (D-CA), who has been strikingly
absent from the national fentanyl conversation, has “financial
connections to individuals involved with criminal networks in Southern
California, many of whom are tied to money laundering and the drug
trade,” according to Peter Schweizer’s new book <em><a class="x5l" href="https://www.amazon.com/Unti-Nonfiction-Anon9780063061194/dp/0063061198/?tag=breitbart035-20" rel=" noopener external" target="_blank"><span>Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans</span></a>. </em><a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/03/blood-money-meet-adam-schiff-who-looks-away-from-the-deadly-fentanyl-crisis-in-his-backyard-while-taking-donations-from-money-laundering-operators-tied-to-the-drug-trade-26222983.mp3" target="_blank">Listen To Story<em> <br /></em></a></h3>

Schweizer highlights Schiff’s astonishingly empty record regarding the
fentanyl crisis before suggesting that the congressman could potentially
risk “undue attention to his own financial” ties if he were to address
the issue meaningfully.</p><p class="a8d-pre"> </p>
<p>Schiff, who is running for U.S. Senate, represents California’s 30th
Congressional District, which includes Burbank, Hollywood, Glendale, and
Pasadena. Schweizer notes that the fentanyl crisis is rampant in
upscale Burbank where at least seven high school students had <a class="x5l" href="https://lamag.com/news/fentanyl-deaths-in-l-a-have-risen-1208-percent-in-l-a-since-2016" rel=" noopener external" target="_blank">overdosed</a>
on the deadly synthetic opioid in 2022 alone. Now, schools in the
Burbank Unified School District are required to carry naloxone in the
event of overdoses. The effects in the city have been far-reaching.</p><p> </p>
<p>“In 2022, two men were arrested in Burbank with a hundred thousand
counterfeit oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl,” Schweizer notes.
“Nineteen-year-old TikTok influencer Cooper Noriega was found dead in a
Burbank park with fentanyl in his system.”</p><p> </p>
<p class="a8d-pre">Moreover, the Los Angeles area saw fentanyl deaths skyrocket “by a stunning 1,208 percent from 2016 to 2022,” Schweizer reports.</p><p class="a8d-pre"> </p><p class="a8d-pre"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-1243236855.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="524" data-original-width="800" height="524" src="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-1243236855.jpg" width="800" /></a></div><i>People are photographed outside the parent center at Helen Bernstein

at the end of last year, and did so in contravention of legislation on
public media. Its nominees took TVP’s news channels, TVP Info and TVP
World, off-air using police force. TVP Info has been back on air since
the new year, and TVP World is scheduled to restart broadcasting next
week. However, scores of conservative-leaning journalists have been
purged from TVP and Polish radio after the government takeover. </h3><p> </p>
<p>On Feb. 29, TVP announced that the Polish Foreign Ministry-funded channel <a class="ek-link" href="https://www.rmx.news/poland/exclusive-shutting-down-polands-tvp-world-is-good-news-for-vladimir-putin-says-polish-broadcasters-deputy-director-after-tusk-takes-over-public-media/">TVP World</a>
will, from the start of March, be led by Michał Broniatowski, who has
in the past worked for Reuters, ITN, Associated Press, Politico, and the
Russian news agency Interfax; he has also been chief editor for the
Polish version of Forbes magazine. Michał Broniatowski’s father was a
senior Polish communist security official, Mieczysław Broniatowski. </p><p> </p>
<p>Broniatowski has in recent years been vocal in opposition to the
conservative PiS government, which governed Poland between 2015 and
2023. In 2016, Broniatowski published a highly controversial Facebook
post in which he issued an “instruction” on organizing a Maidan-style
revolt to bring down the Polish government. </p><p> </p>
<p>He did this right in the middle of the <a class="ek-link" href="https://www.rmx.news/commentary/total-opposition-trying-destabilize-poland/">2016 crisis</a>,
in which the parliamentary opposition occupied the parliamentary
chamber and demonstrators attempted to storm the parliamentary
building. </p><p> </p>
<p>However, in 2021 Broniatowski roundly condemned the storming of
Capitol Hill by pro-Trump demonstrators, blaming the then U.S. president
for provoking the protesters. His appointment has been treated with
dismay by conservative media and commentators, who believe it is an
indication that Poland’s English-language television channel will become
a mouthpiece for the new left-liberal coalition government led by
Donald Tusk. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Source:</i></b> <span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="https://www.rmx.news/crime/purge-in-poland-journalist-who-called-for-revolution-against-former-conservative-government-made-head-of-state-medias-english-language-tv-channel/" target="_blank">Remix News</a></span><br /></h3>PostDiscushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04007658260606543302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590953216579720122.post-72969433910244139672024-02-29T14:46:00.001+01:002024-02-29T14:46:07.871+01:00In Their Own Words: Hear How CCP Propagandists Are Using TikTok to Indoctrinate America’s Youth<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/tiktok-china-kid-getty-640x480.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/tiktok-china-kid-getty-640x480.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><h3 class="subheading" style="text-align: left;">The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using TikTok
as a “modern day Trojan Horse” to inject its propaganda into the minds
of America’s youth, according to restricted Chinese military journals
uncovered in Peter Schweizer’s new book: <i><a class="x_OWAAutoLink x5l" href="https://www.amazon.com/Unti-Nonfiction-Anon9780063061194/dp/0063061198/?tag=breitbart035-20" id="OWA51d49b7b-19a0-b240-cd80-18a136b6beba" rel="noopener noreferrer noopener external" target="_blank">Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans</a>. </i><i><br /></i></h3>
<p class="a8d-pre"> </p><p class="a8d-pre">In <i>Blood Money</i>, Schweizer, a Breitbart News
senior contributor and the President of the Government Accountability
Institute, reveals the words of Chinese strategists themselves, who tout
using TikTok in “information-driven mental warfare” against the United
States.</p><p class="a8d-pre"> </p>
<p>As Schweizer notes, TikTok is run by the company ByteDance, which is
“wedded to the Chinese Communist Party military-intelligence-industrial
complex.” While the app has “penetrated the heart of America’s culture,
becoming a central part of the lives of our children and young adults,”
the Chinese government does not permit the app for its own population,
he writes. Instead, the CCP harnesses the app’s addictive quality to
target and shape the minds of young Americans for its own purposes, all
while designating TikTok’s powerful algorithm as a top secret “national
security asset.”</p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-1228542202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="533" src="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-1228542202.jpg" width="800" /></a></p><p></p><p><i>The headquarters of ByteDance, the parent company of video sharing app
TikTok, in Beijing, China, on September 16, 2020. (GREG BAKER/AFP via

China’s top military academy, People’s Liberation Army (PLA) National
Defense University (PLA-NDU), wrote that the real battle between the
United States and China is “information-driven mental warfare” and
compared apps such as TikTok and social media platforms to a “modern day
Trojan Horse.”</p><p> </p>
<p class="a8d-pre">Another leading Chinese PLA strategist, Zeng Huafeng
of the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), wrote of a
cognitive, or mind, war on the United States and proposed how to defeat
the U.S. without firing a shot.</p><p class="a8d-pre"> </p>
<p>Schweizer writes:</p><p> </p>
<blockquote><p>Zeng defines the “cognitive space” as “the area in which
feelings, perception, understanding, beliefs, and values exist” and
argues that this is where the battle can be won. To that end, he said,
Beijing must use “information and popular spiritual and cultural
products as weapons to influence people’s psychology, will, attitude,
behavior and even change the ideology, values, cultural traditions and
social systems.” According to Zeng, these cultural tools, including
apps, video games, and films, should be used to “target individuals,
groups, countries, and even people around the world.”<span style="font-weight: 400;"> <br /></span></p></blockquote><p> </p><p>Zeng further argued that Beijing can win “mind superiority” through several means, including:</p><p> </p>
<ul><li>“Perception manipulation” via propaganda, by changing how people look at the present</li><li>“Cutting off historical memory” by warping their views of their own
country’s past so people will be open to changing their values</li><li>“Changing the paradigm of thinking” by targeting people to change the way they view problems and thereby changing their beliefs</li><li>“Deconstructing symbols,” by getting people to reject certain traditional symbols and thereby modifying a nation’s identity</li></ul>
<p> </p><p>“The ultimate goal is to manipulate a country’s values and achieve
strategic goals without an actual overt military battle,” Zeng added.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-1185383486.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="626" data-original-width="800" height="626" src="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-1185383486.jpg" width="800" /></a></div><i>Chinese Communist Party Leader Xi Jinping meets with all members of a

for “subconscious messaging” instead of overtly political propaganda,
and using a soft touch to influence young people in the West.</p><p> </p>
<p class="a8d-pre">Schweizer also cites “Communicating Our Military’s Advanced Military Culture to the World” by Xu Sen, which states:</p><p class="a8d-pre"> </p>
<blockquote><p>“With regard to Western audiences, we need to
conscientiously filter the content of communication, finding more points
of resonance and common ground . . . even in the case of positive
propaganda we also need to be adept at “softening” the content. For
example, using stories to convey things, “translating” viewpoints into
stories, and concealing them in stories, . . . we should adopt open and
emotional methods.”</p></blockquote>
<p> </p><p>CCP strategists in an “Analysis of Modern Network Media Warfare in
the Perspective of Intelligent Technology” added that propaganda is most
effective when it can be directed to “impressible persons” through
entertainment.</p><p> </p><p>
“Entertainment is the main motivation for Generation Z content
consumption,” said Peng Zhen-gang, the deputy director of the Propaganda
Department, in “Research on International Communication Strategies and
Practice Paths of Generation Z.” By better understanding those they mean
to propagandize, the CCP can “explore effective communication
strategies and paths, [and] improve the ability to set agendas.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-490202343.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="534" data-original-width="800" height="534" src="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-490202343.jpg" width="800" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p>Chinese propagandists also noted that propaganda is more potent for
young Western people when it comes from many sources instead of one.
They compared the phenomena to “multiple voices in a choir communication
subject sings its own melody.” As Schweizer writes, “the key is to
simulate a community — a peer group — as TikTok does.”</p><p> </p>
<p>“Content control is becoming more important,” said analyst Liu Ying,
in “The Advantages, Predicaments, and Approaches of International
Communication of “Polyphony”: New Media,” noting that “emotional
incitement . . . can affect public opinion more than facts and truth.”</p><p> </p>
<p class="a8d-pre">Schweizer found that the Chinese government actually
funded a study of “digital propaganda and opinion manipulation in social
media platforms,” which found that “emotional content can easily lead
the audience to have the illusion of ‘independent thinking’ and
attribute irrational emotions to ‘righteous indignation’ or ‘empathy,’
which intensifies the value of delusion.”</p><p class="a8d-pre"> </p>
<p>“What message will that chorus sing? Its members speak freely among
themselves of their motive,” Schweizer writes. “Their goal is to
‘strengthen the overseas promotion of the Communist Party of China and
guide the international community to form the correct [view of the
Communist Party and of China],’ Shen Haixiong, a deputy minister and
senior propagandist, observed.”</p><p><i> </i></p><p><i> </i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-1227948193.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="536" data-original-width="800" height="536" src="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-1227948193.jpg" width="800" /></a></i></div><i>Jens Kalaene/Getty Images)</i><p></p><p> </p><p>TikTok’s addictiveness and constant stream of short, often
over-stimulating videos makes for a powerful source of propaganda. One
PLA propaganda journal stated, “Younger PLA propagandists increasingly
realize the popularity of short videos online, and TikTok is the best
example of this so far.”</p>
<p> </p><p>A Chinese government study on online manipulation further noted that
online propaganda is a “highly concealed propaganda method,” and “its
effect can far exceed traditional propaganda.” The study’s authors
argue that such propaganda could even “affect the social stability and
political security of a target country or region.”</p><p> </p>
<p>“The evidence is clear: Chinese psychological warfare strategists
have Americans, particularly young Americans, in their crosshairs. They
believe that not only are young people easier to influence but the
effects of the propaganda messaging are longer lasting,” Schweizer
writes. “The Chinese government is devoting serious amounts of resources
to understanding how to manipulate young users. The Communist
government recently opened an external propaganda office to target
Generation Z audiences overseas.”</p><p> </p>
<p>“Chinese propagandists also see social media tools such as TikTok as a
way to sway elections in the United States and around the world,” he
continues. “One official wrote that Beijing should ‘exploit big data
analysis, AI processes, bots and astroturfing, grasp the different
personalities of voters and realize large-scale guidance of public
opinion and changing their [political] orientation.”’</p><p> </p>
<p>However, Schweizer notes that “despite its links to the Chinese
propaganda apparatus, TikTok has thrived with the help of American
celebrities and thought leaders who are either ignorant or ambivalent
about TikTok’s true nature.”</p><p> </p>
<p>The first celebrity to promote TikTok was the late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon, according to <em>Blood Money</em>.</p><p> </p>
<p>“There’s a really cool app I’ve been getting into lately called
TikTok,” Fallon told millions of Americans watching his show. “Do you
guys know that?”</p><p> </p>
<p>“If you don’t have it, download it,” he instructed.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-1240716683.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="533" src="https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/02/GettyImages-1240716683.jpg" width="800" /></a></div><i>Singer Shakira and host Jimmy Fallon during the “Watch It Once TikTok

<blockquote><p>What Fallon didn’t tell his audience was that he—not The
Tonight Show itself—had forged a partnership with the Chinese company
and created a series of TikTok “challenges” designed to grow interest in
the app. The daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres soon followed with
an equally glowing account on her show. The rapper Cardi B, for a large
fee, posted some videos on TikTok—to no great effect, but it did lend
her name to the platform. None of those celebrities seemed to weigh the
gravity of being used to encourage Americans to download a potential
Chinese spy app. How much money they were paid is not known.</p></blockquote><p> </p>
<p>“Celebrities weren’t alone. Major American institutions jumped in to
work with TikTok. In 2019, for example, the NFL announced a multiyear
content partnership with TikTok,” Schweizer adds. “One wonders what
conversations were had besides ‘Show me the money!'”</p><p> </p>
<p>Schweizer also notes that American politicians also lined up to use
the app. In fact, just this month, President Joe Biden’s campaign <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2024/02/13/joe-biden-joins-chinas-tiktok-to-reach-younger-voters/">opened</a> an account on TikTok in an effort to reach young voters.</p><p> </p>
