  1. Tired propaganda by enemy media for captured mask wearers still trying to defend their purchase:

    Criminals cover their tracks with more deception. Here, a study commissioned by Bill Gates admits, finally, that natural immunity is better than injection. It then goes on to disqualify this finding with pseudo-science by placing a dubious, seemingly random time limit on natural immunity in a most specious way. It says two doses of vaxx equals natural immunity. We know now that the vaxx has some efficacy against a targeted variant up to four months after injection. Therefore two injections supposedly provides eight months protection, which puts it on par with the study’s natural immunity arbitrary finding.

    It makes no mention of the broader immunity natural immunity provides. It doesn’t explain how it came up with the duration of natural immunity. It doesn’t mention the four-month window of injection immunity enhancement or the depletion suffered by the immune system following this window. It doesn’t mention the litany of possible injection injuries.

    A 16-year-old suspected in the fatal shooting of another teenager at an El Paso, Texas, mall on Wednesday was stopped by an armed bystander who wasn’t afraid to fire.

    Interim police chief Peter Pacillas said the shooting was preceded by a fight and called it “a random incident between two groups,” according to KFOX-TV.

    According to the El Paso Times, the groups that came together at the Cielo Vista Mall, were made up of six teens who ranged in age from 14 to 17 and another group that included the 16-year-old suspect and three others ranging in age 15 to 20.

  3. Nine Little-Known Facts about Brazil’s President and Convicted Felon Lula da Silva
    February 19, 2023 9:35 am by Joe Hoft

    But what do people really know about him? In most cases, not much. I gathered here 9 little-known Lula facts that will go a long way into shining a revealing light over the man running the show in Brasilia.

    The arbitrary number of facts relate to Lula’s nine fingers – he lost his left-hand pinky in what has been described as a work-related accident.

    1 ‘Pelego’: While Lula is now heading a very leftist administration, the fact remains that, left to his own devices, he is not – and never has been – known to be an ideological leader. As a labor leader, he was even called ‘pelego’ (a sheepskin or a doormat) by far-left groups.

    Lula can be more adequately be put in the ranks of kleptocracy, having taken his family from abject poverty to the top of the political and economic power in a single generation.

    2 Guilty of rape attempt in jail?: His recent stint in prison was not his first: Silva was arrested during the military dictatorship years in 1980. While the short 30-day incarceration did help him win much more ‘street-cred’ with the left, it also left behind a terrible story: ‘the boy from MEP’ – a tale of how Lula tried to rape a fellow inmate in jail.

    This was, or course, denied by Lula – but it was not put in the news by a Lula enemy, but rather by journalist and professor Cesar Benjamin, one of the founders of Lula’s own Workers’ Party (PT). Benjamin wrote the following in mainstream, pro-Lula newspaper Folha de São Paulo, in 2009 – he is recounting a meeting that took place in 1994.

Just like that US movement weaponized conspiracy theories to cover up for every time that he went against his base’s policy expectations so that they don’t revolt against him, so too is that Brazilian one doing the same to cover up for Lula disappointing his leftist-multipolar base by condemning Russia so that they don’t revolt against him either.

  4. Leaked ATF Documents Reveal The Biden Regime’s Scheme To Close Gun Stores Across The Country
    February 19, 2023 8:45 am by Cullen Linebarger

    The Biden regime has opened a new front in their war on law-abiding gun owners. Leaked ATF documents reveal the Regime plans to shut down gun stores across America by pursuing a “zero tolerance” policy for revoking federal firearm licenses (FFL).

    Gun Owners Of America obtained these documents earlier this month which show the ATF updated its federal firearms license inspection guidance in January 2022. The Biden regime previously announced in July 2021 that they would be updating the guidelines established under the Trump administration.

    The new guidelines state the “ATF must establish willfulness” to proceed with cancelling licenses, but the agency “does not have to establish a history of prior violations to determine willfulness.” Furthermore, revocation of the FFL’s license “is the assumed action” with violations.

    February 19, 2023 7:30 am by Jim Hoft
    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was invited to speak to the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police next week on Monday. The Florida governor will describe what sane police policies play out in his state and he will not lecture the police officers on how they are a dangerous menace to society.

    DeSantis’s visit to Chicago, a city in major decline under Mayor Lori Lightfoot, is causing quite the stir.

    Mayor Lightfoot called Governor DeSantis a “bigoted, racist demagogue.”

    Illinois Democrat Governor Pritzker went even further. Pritzker called on “every candidate hoping to hold public office in the land of Lincoln” to denounce Monday’s event.

    And Pritzker tweeted out, “Ron DeSantis’s dangerous and hateful agenda has no place in Illinois.

    Banning books, playing politics with people’s lives, and censoring history are antithetical to who we are.

    Every candidate hoping to hold public office in the land of Lincoln should condemn this event.”

  7. Two Men Arrested in Florida for Human Trafficking, A Youth Pastor and a Foster Parent
    February 19, 2023 10:15 am by Margaret Flavin

    Two men, one a youth pastor the other a registered foster parent, were arrested this month in Florida on human trafficking charges after allegedly soliciting minors for sexual activity on social media.

    The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Tampa, Florida revealed that the suspects contacted a victim through a meetup chat called Sniffies.

    WFIN reports:

    Moises Escoto, a 36-year-old youth pastor, and Joel Lutz, a 38-year-old registered foster parent, were arrested in connection with a human trafficking investigation, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said.

    The sheriff’s office said its human trafficking team launched an investigation after a mother reported finding disturbing content on her 16-year-old’s phone.

    Investigators discovered that Escoto contacted the victim two years ago on a chat and meetup app called Sniffies. Since initially making contact with the teenager, Escoto allegedly solicited sexually explicit pictures and videos in exchange for money and gifts.

    Escoto was also secretly meeting with the victim and engaging in sexual acts, investigators said. He was a youth pastor at Iglesia de Cristo Misionera Mahanaim Church. He was arrested on Feb. 9.

    During the investigation, deputies found that Lutz had engaged in sexual acts with a minor he also found on the Sniffies app in exchange for money. Lutz was arrested on Feb. 15 at his job at Outback Steakhouse.

  8. Beholding The Beholders: Hunter Biden’s Art Dealer Defies The House Over Business Records

    SUNDAY, FEB 19, 2023 – 10:03 AM
    Authored by Jonathan Turley,

    It appears that Hunter Biden’s art dealer believes that his art should be left entirely to the eye of the beholder — and not Congress. Georges Bergès reportedly refused last week to provide the House Oversight Committee with the identities of the buyers of Biden high-priced art work. While counsel William Pittard insists that the list of purchasers must remain secret, it is hard to see the viable legal basis to refuse the demand of the House Oversight Committee, if made subject to a congressional subpoena.

    The Biden sales have long been a subject of intense debate over whether it is another form of influence peddling or money laundering. Even President Barack Obama’s ethics head has raised objections.

    Former Obama-era ethics official Walter Shaub called the art sale a “terrible idea” and noted that “it just is implausible that this art from an unknown artist would be selling at this price if it didn’t have the Biden name attached to it.”

    A new artist, Biden is fetching prices that exceed the prices of some Picassos. The quality of the work will be left to others to debate, but the Oversight committee has a legitimate interest in looking into whether the art is being used to funnel money to the family of President Joe Biden.

    In January, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) requested that Bergès testify before Congress. Comer has long alleged that Chinese buyers are behind the sales, though there is no public proof to support that allegation. He has stated that “arrangement with Hunter Biden raises serious ethical concerns and calls into question whether the Biden family is again selling access and influence.”

    Pittard wrote that “[i]n light of these considerations, providing the documents and information requested in your letter seemingly would defeat the efforts of Mr. Biden and the White House to avoid the ‘serious ethical concerns’ that you raise.” He added that “Mr. Berges hopes that you and Mr. Biden can resolve that tension.”

  10. Clandestine U.K. Program Developed 3D-Printed ‘Suicide’ Drone For Ukraine

    In an until-now secretive program, the United Kingdom has rapidly developed and flight-tested a number of “complex” drones that would be suitable for use by Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. While it’s unclear which of any of the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in question were ultimately selected for supply to Ukraine, it’s obvious that a range of different capabilities was explored in the process, including surveillance drones and, most intriguingly, what is described as a “3D-printed delta-wing ‘suicide’ drone.”

    Some details of the rapid development program were recently revealed by QinetiQ, the U.K.-based defense technology company that works closely with the U.K. Ministry of Defense, especially on experimental projects and novel technologies. The drone program originated in the Future Capability Group — part of the defense ministry’s Defense Equipment and Support (DE&S) branch — which, in turn, engaged QinetiQ

    Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller of the United States Marine Corps uttered the above words during the Korean War’s battle of Chosin Reservoir as Puller’s marines found themselves surrounded by 120,000 enemy troops under the command of Mao Tse-tung. (Richard: H followed up by saying that now they could shoot in any direction.)

    We’re being made to feel like we’re in a similar situation: “surrounded”. Yet, the opposing forces aren’t nearly as overwhelming because we make up the majority — the anti-freedom forces of the far-left are better known as the tyrannical ten percent. But if you look back in time, that’s usually how they play their little scam on the rest of society. As in every other slow-motion coup down through history, they take over the means of communication, the media, and the government indoctrination system — the schools — to make it seem like they have total control.

    So, it’s time to fight back with what we’re calling cultural guerrilla warfare, using asymmetric tactics. With our advantages versus their disadvantages, we can push back against what they’re trying to do to our country. Keep in mind that this isn’t the first time a small far-left minority tried to take over a society with these kinds of underhanded maneuvers.

    At the beginning of the last century, similarly, small groups of the anti-freedom far-left were using the same tactics to take

  17. Local Farmer Sounds the Alarm: Why Did East Palestine Launch ‘MyID’ Emergency Service to Surveil Biometrics 1 Week Before Ohio Train Derailment?
    February 19, 2023 1:53 pm by Alicia Powe

    A man who lives nine miles away from where the Norfolk Southern train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in eastern Ohio reached out to The Gateway Pundit to sound the alarm on the bizarre coincidences that continue to pile up surrounding the incident.

    Bob Moore, a 70-year-old farmer and longtime resident of East Palestine, initially ignored local news reports urging residents to sign up for “MyID” to receive a new biometric tracking device that provides first responders updates about an individual’s health conditions amid an emergency “major disaster.”

    But the suspicious timing of the government’s distribution of this health-monitoring digital ID, exactly a week before the disaster, warrants answers, Moore told TGP in an exclusive interview

    It was exactly a week before the derailment happened,” Moore said. “The people were asked to go to the local fire department in downtown East Palestine to get that MyID.

    “They began monitoring your physical activity, your heart rate, your respiration, anything you might be exposed to. I see this as the kind of censor you would put on an astronaut or on an athlete that you wanted to track to see how he’d react to stress or being winded, or in this instance chemical exposure. It’s a monitoring device.”

I know this because of my father working track maintenance until he retired. I can remember my mother fixing sandwiches for my father and us taking them to the wrecks when I was a little kid. I grew up listening to my relatives talking about farming and about railroads.

    Felipe Rodriguez, a whistleblower who has been an employee at the Row Hotel since 2017, shared his concerns with Fox News, “The chaos that we see at the Row today is compiled by migrants being drunk, drinking all day, smoking marijuana, consuming drugs, and domestic violence, uh, people having sex in the stairs, young people, teenagers, they use the fire exit stairs to go in there and do that they do.”

    “We have people actually trying to act like the hotel is theirs and we have no rights. The form in which they keep their rooms is horrendous. They don’t clean it, they don’t fold their clothes. It’s piles and piles, they’re hoarding clothes, they’re hoarding whatever they can hoard

    There’s no accountability. And when you go into their rooms and say something, the hotel management, especially the GM [general manager] has directed us that we’re not allowed to tell them nothing. They have carte blanche at the Row.”

    An 18-inch pipe bomb was found on train tracks behind St. Dominic’s Catholic Church in Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon.

    Philadelphia police are investigating after a pipe bomb was reportedly discovered behind a church in Holmesburg.

    Philadelphia police sources tell FOX 29 an 18-inch pipe bomb was found Sunday, just after 1:30 p.m., behind St. Dominic’s Catholic Church, on the 8500 block of Frankford Avenue, in Philadelphia’s Holmesburg section.

    Officials say a passerby found the pipe bomb, and noted it was a PVC pipe with capped ends and black powder on it.

    Police shut down Frankford Ave., between Benson and Blakiston while the Philadelphia Police Bomb Squad was called to the scene.

    The bomb squad safely took the pipe bomb out of harm’s way.

    February 19, 2023 8:05 pm by Cristina Laila

    Another China spy balloon?

    Or is it just a benign weather balloon?

    A large white balloon was spotted near Hawaii on Sunday evening.

    Air traffic control spotted the balloon about 500 miles northeast of Hawaii flying at an altitude of roughly 40,000 feet.

    Joe Biden last week ordered benign objects to be shot down after a China spy balloon soared over the continental US.

  25. END OF AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY: Biden Regime Negotiates “Legally Binding” Deal To Give Chinese-Backed World Health Organization Full Authority Over US Pandemic Policies – No Senate Approval Needed

    The Biden Regime never fails to orchestrate an avenue to circumvent the U.S. Constitution and betray the American people. A bombshell report from the Epoch Times Saturday reveals the Regime is about to surrender America’s sovereignty to the World Health Organization (WHO) and give them full control over future pandemic policy.

    The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on these negotiations between the Regime and the WHO over the past year.

    TGP’s Alicia Powe, for example, exclusively revealed that Biden’s Health and Human Service Department secretly submitted proposed amendments, “Strengthen WHO preparedness for and response to health emergencies,” to the WHO to reform International Health Regulations of 2005, an existing health treaty

    The amendments delegate the international body of unelected bureaucrats more authority to define what constitutes a pandemic, when a pandemic is in progress, how long a pandemic lasts and how “to prevent, detect and respond to future public health emergencies of international concern,” ultimately delegating the WHO total authority over emergency operations in the U.S. during a “public health emergency.”

    TGP’s Julian Conradson also reported there is a plan for a mandatory, universal digital passport and ID system.
