Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We must use it while we can.

    Date Written: March 7, 2023

    Abstract
    Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been a major source of information during the COVID-19 pandemic, guiding policies and practices in many aspects of life. As such, it is imperative that the information be free of errors, or, if errors are made, that they are corrected quickly.

    Methods: We sought to compile instances of numerical and statistical errors made by the CDC during the COVID-19 pandemic by reviewing CDC publications, press releases, interviews, meetings, and Twitter accounts. Further, we catalogued mortality data from both the National Center for Health Statistics and the CDC COVID Data Tracker and compared reported results.

    Results: We documented 25 instances when the CDC reported statistical or numerical errors. Twenty (80%) of these instances exaggerated the severity of the COVID-19 situation, 3 (12%) instances simultaneously exaggerated and downplayed the severity of the situation, one error was neutral, and one error exaggerated COVID-19 vaccine risks. The CDC was notified about the errors in 16 (64%) instances, and later corrected the errors, at least partially, in 13 (52%) instances.

    Conclusion: A basic prerequisite for making informed policy decisions is accurate and reliable statistics, even during times of uncertainty. Our investigation revealed 25 instances of numerical or statistical errors made by the CDC. Our investigation suggests 1) the need for greater diligence in data collection and reporting, and 2) that the federal entity responsible for reporting health statistics should be firewalled from the entity setting policy due to concerns of real or perceived systematic bias in errors.

  3. A member of Senator Rand Paul’s congressional staff was brutally stabbed in Washington DC on Saturday.

    The staff member was repeatedly stabbed with a knife on the 1300 block of H St. NE.

    The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) released a statement saying an arrest had been made in relation to the horrific incident.

    42-year-old Glynn Neal was arrested and charged with Assault with Intent to Kill (Knife).

    The Metropolitan Police Department stated:

    Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s First District announce an arrest has been made in reference to an Assault with Intent to Kill (Knife) offense that occurred on Saturday, March 25, 2023, in the 1300 block of H Street, Northeast.

    At approximately 5:17 pm, members of the First District were dispatched to the listed location for the report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, members located an adult male stabbing victim. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries.

    On Saturday, March 25, 2023, as a result of the detectives’ investigation, 42-year-old Glynn Neal, of Southeast, DC, was arrested and charged with Assault with Intent to Kill (Knife).

  4. After weeks in the hospital without much news reported on his condition and practically no video or photos of his recovery, Fetterman was released Friday as his staff published photos of his release. But one photo in particular that became prevalent on social media had a lot of people questioning the senator’s actual condition.

    Two photos of Fetterman seen side-by-side had some wondering if the senator had been replaced by a body double, as Newsweek reported.

    Juanita Broaddrick was shocked by the two photos and insisted, “I think a DNA sample is in order, here. LOL. That’s not Fetterman on the right.”

    Author Brigitte Gabriel added, “I’m not one to push conspiracy theories, but John Fetterman’s face looks totally different.”

  5. The heavily armed shooter who blasted her way through a Tennessee Christian school on Monday — killing six — was identified as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a Nashville native who formerly attended the school, police said.

    Hale, 28, was a commercial illustrator and graphic designer who posted her creations online and once worked on a children’s book about a support dog, according to a LinkedIn page.

    She identified as transgender, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said at a press conference, though it wasn’t clear whether the suspect identified as a man or woman.

    Asked whether Hale’s identity could be a factor in the motive, Drake said, “There is some theory to that, we’re investigating all the leads.”

    On her website, Hale – who was shot dead by cops during the 14-minute, targeted onslaught inside The Covenant School in Nashville – described herself as enjoying “binging on video games, watching movies, and playing sports.”

    Note: I have read reports that this is a bio female identifying as a male, but, that seems a real contradiction given that most mainstream reports would be mis-gendering and dead-naming this person if this were true – and that would be the REAL crime, would it not?

  6. AL-MUKALLA, Yemen: Yemen’s presidential council has promised to confront the “terrorist” Houthis and called for resistance as international envoys criticized the militia’s renewed assault.

    The council, chaired by Rashad Al-Alimi, said the latest Houthi attacks, primarily in Marib and Shabwa, demonstrated that the militia had no wish to end the war. It promised to thwart their advances and said it would help people in Houthi-controlled areas to resist their domination.

  10. Sky News Australia Slams Joe Biden’s Response After Horrific School Shooting
    By Joe Hoft Mar. 28, 2023 8:30 am73 Comments

    The news media was told that Joe Biden was going to speak about the deadly shooting in Nashville that killed seven, instead, they saw a President who didn’t seem to know where he was at talking about ice cream and doting over four children in the audience.

    After news broke about a shooter at a Nashville school killing three 9-year-olds and three teachers in a Christian school, the news media was all about gun control.

    Joe Biden was expected to come out and talk about this horrific event at the White House and instead, he looked lost.

  11. WATCH: SIXTEEN Out-of-State ATF Agents Visit and Intimidate Popular Gun Store in Smyrna, GA on Same Day as Nashville School Shooting, Get Scared Off by GOP Congressmembers!
    By Jordan Conradson Mar. 28, 2023 7:45 am310 Comments

    Sixteen ATF out-of-state agents reportedly visited Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, GA, to conduct a “routine” inspection of the popular longtime gun dealer on Monday morning.

    Coincidentally (or not), this happened on the same morning of a school shooting by a transgender who kept a manifesto and mapped out his plan in Nashville, TN. The Biden White House on Monday afternoon called for Republican lawmakers to back a ban on so-called ‘assault weapons’ following the Nashville school shooting.

    Both of these incidents happened months after Nashville Predators Foundation teamed with Nashville Police in offering People $50 Kroger cards to turn in their firearms.

    Brian Glenn of Right Side Broadcasting Network shared the news Monday morning, calling it a “raid” and said they would continue to monitor the story.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene can be seen telling off an ATF Public Information Officer below, saying, “it’s very odd for them to be treated this way.”

    Mother of “Transgender” Nashville School Shooter Was Gun Control Activist – Shared Petition to Keep Guns Out of Schools
    By Cullen Linebarger Mar. 28, 2023 8:45 am200 Comments

    The mother of the transgender Nashville school shooter feverishly campaigned for gun control.

    Take a look at these Facebook posts calling for gun restrictions. One would be surprised if her daughter, Audrey Hale, did not share the same views:

    The Daily Mail first uncovered these posts.

    The New York Post reported:

    The mother of the Nashville school shooter who killed six people – including three 9-year-olds – appeared to be a gun control activist who once urged friends on Facebook to sign a petition calling to keep firearms out of schools.

    “So important!” Norma Hale wrote in a March 8, 2018 Facebook post as she shared the petition that stated “Keep Guns Out of School” that appeared to be from the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation.

    The webpage’s domain to the petition did not appear to exist anymore.

    In another post from Feb. 21, 2018, Hale shared another petition from Sandy Hook Promise urging lawmakers to “Make Large-Capacity Gun Magazines Illegal.”

    This report was developed by election experts in New Mexico and Hawaii with special recognition to Attorney David Clements and his wife Erin.

    Election Experts in Hawaii discovered that the TotalVote election system used in the state can backdate election records. This isn’t all that it can do.

    How the Capitol Police Ignited a Riot:

    J6 Prisoner Jeffrey McKellop spoke with The Gateway Pundit from his prison cell earlier this month. Jeffrey described this horrific event – When the Capitol Police threw an elderly woman 10 FEET down the stairs on January 6.

    This was the spark that ignited the riot. This is what they police and feds wanted. It was all planned, organized and played out perfectly.

    Wayne State professor Steven Shaviro has been suspended after allegedly suggesting college protesters kill campus speakers they don’t like.

    Stanford was recently engulfed by protests and chaos when federal judge Kyle Duncan was invited to speak to campus. Stanford University Law School associate dean of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Tirien Steinbach suggested Duncan’s speech was causing pain. She was later placed on leave, according to Fox News.

    • Pfizer signs agreement with China on improving health coverage in the country

      U.S. pharma giant Pfizer has signed an agreement with China to cooperate on improving the country’s health coverage, according to the company.

      “We are aligned very much with the China ‘Healthy 2030’ [initiative] and we are trying to contribute as much as we can,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told CNBC’s Eunice Yoon on Saturday.

      Pfizer’s memorandum of understanding with the Health China Research Center is set to support public health research and improve the health of rural populations, according to details released by Chinese state media.

      U.S. pharma giant Pfizer has signed an agreement with China to cooperate on improving the country’s health coverage, according to the company.

      “We are aligned very much with the China ‘Healthy 2030’ [initiative] and we are trying to contribute as much as we can,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told CNBC’s Eunice Yoon on Saturday.

      He declined to share further details, including dollar amounts.

      China in 2016 announced a “Healthy China 2030” plan for improving the country’s public health services, medical industry and food and drug safety. The Covid-19 pandemic also highlighted shortfalls in China’s still-developing public health system.

      Pfizer’s memorandum of understanding with the Health China Research Center is set to support public health research and improve the health of rural populations, according to details released by Chinese state media.

      “Any individuals and citizens from China would have the same access to our innovative product,” Pfizer China President Jean-Christophe Pointeau said in the report.

      He said the company has around 600 staff dedicated to rural areas “to educate the health care professionals on our breakthrough innovation Oncology, Anti-infectives and Inflammation & Immunology.”

      The weekend comments did not discuss the Paxlovid drug for treating Covid.

      In January, Bourla said Pfizer had signed an agreement with a local partner to manufacture Paxlovid in China, which production could begin in as soon as three or four months.

      • Luka of Belarus has been begging for nukes. He’s hardcore. No euphemisms: unlike Ukraine (SBU) and Russia (FSB), he still calls his KGB – _KBG_. The western part is pure Poland, a real threat within his borders. We’ve heard that life there now is like the Soviet Union in 1937 (the Great Purge).

        Moldova is a fake country, run by a US-placed WEF zombie. It’ll go back to Romania eventually. The Russian slice, Transnistria, is quaintly Soviet like Belarus. Putin finds that distasteful. The Communist Party in Russia is relatively small and thus tolerated, but it’s vocal and very anti-Putin.

        Luka wants that Russian security guarantee, pushes for a unity treaty. It has significant heavy industry capacity. If Poland continues the threat – using enemy operatives within Belarus – a unity govt is inevitable. How stupid is our State Dept trying to woo Luka?

        Tactical nukes are not Hiroshima, but they’ll break the post WW-2 taboo. North Korea is now able to inundate Britain with a radioactive tidal wave. NorK is afraid of China, but adores Russia. They’ve fought with Syria in every modern war.
        ……..

        Those depleted uranium shells will poison the richest farmland in the world. Now THAT’S a crime against humanity! Called Chernozem in Russian:

        “Previously, there was a black market for the soil in Ukraine. The sale of agricultural land has been illegal in Ukraine since 1992 until the ban was lifted in 2020,[8] but the soil, transported by truck, could be traded legally.
        Some nationalist hero, Prez Z.

        “According to the Kharkiv-based Green Front NGO, the black market for illegally acquired chernozem in Ukraine was projected to reach approximately US$900 million per year in 2011.[9]”

    Six months away from a potential war between America and China, starting at Taiwan, is a situation that demands utmost attention and caution from all stakeholders. Tensions between the two superpowers have been escalating, and the Taiwan issue remains a potential flashpoint that could trigger a major conflict in the Pacific region.

    https://intelreform.org/china-will-invade-taiwan/#

    (Richard: He is printing out info I hadn’t heard.

    The last I heard Taiwan, India, Japan, South Korea and Australia had a mutual defense group that might have Indonesia and the Philippines were thinking about joining.

    The question is how many of the nations would live up to their agreement? How many would have forces close enough to react before the Mainland takes all of Taiwan?)

    • Two more data points supporting his analysis.

      1) There has been a massive increase in the number is Chinese being caught at the Southern border. Most of them military age men.

      2) There has been a large on increase in the number of people on the terror watch list being captured trying to cross the border. Most being caught at the northern border.

      • I have a close relative who worked on the F35 for a decade, then switched to drones. Lives 6 months in Israel, 6 months in Singapore. From a very senior position, he says the same thing. That’s the word in those circles in Asia.

        The Gulfies know it, have rapidly distanced themselves from the USA to China, Inc. The absurd “mediation” stunt between the Saudis and Iran was nothing but an obscene gesture to *us* from the honor/shame kingdom.

        India leans wherever Russia is. Now that means China, if not with much enthusiasm on the part of either one. The “Quad” business doesn’t count for much. The Color Revolutions fomented by the Sea-Eye-Aye in Latin America will align with CHY-na.

        It’s the Obiden State Dept. Victoria Nuland feeding words to clueless Blinken, just as Chrystia Freeland writes Trudeau’s speeches. All those WEF zombies running Europe into the ground.

        That’s the infrastructure running the Russophobia machine. A long term plan to strengthen China.

        • Thank you with just the phone I’m not getting up on the papers and videos from that region.

          This looks like a desperation move by Xi to loot enough treasure to semi stabilize the Chinese economy. This will work for the short term but will simply delay the full collapse. After this conquest they will need to seize their other wealth neighbors to partially stabilize the economy.

          Japan knows this and has been rebuilding their military since the Clinton era. They can’t win without resorting to actions that will cause China to nuke them. By this I mean cruise missiles into Three Gorges Dam and all of the mobile missile launchers they can find. Are they desperate enough to go to that extreme?

          • Shinzo Abe, yes, for sure.
            Kishida is a jerk.

            Maybe Shinzo left that “bomb in the basement” everybody wondered about…

      • Victor Davis Hanson:
        Questions Without Answers About Ukraine

        […]Russia plans to leverage its extra 100 million people, its 10-times larger economy, and its 30-times larger territory to pulverize Ukraine and tire its Western patrons – whatever the costs to Russia.

        Yet why were only a few in past administrations calling for a joint Western effort to expel Putin’s forces from the borderlands and Crimea captured in 2014?

        Why are Putin’s 2014 invasions now seen as urgent rectifiable crimes of aggression in 2022, but were not regarded as reparable during the prior eight years?

        …Is the Ukrainian war also creating the most dangerous anti-American alliance since World War II?

        China is buying cheap Russian oil, while stealthily supplying its weapons.

        India, normally a rock-solid democratic ally, keeps buying both banned Russian oil and armaments.

        Most of the major countries in South America have not joined the sanctions.

        Clients like nuclear North Korea and soon to be nuclear Iran are empowered by overt help from Russia.

        NATO member Turkey and once-allied Saudi Arabia appear now friendlier to Iran, friendlier to China, and friendlier to Russia, than they are to America.

        In terms of combined oil reserves, nukes, population, area, and GDP, this new loose coalition of apparent anti-Americans seems more powerful than the U.S. and its squabbling friends in Europe.

        Why were those now calling for a veritable blank check for Ukraine formerly quiet when the U.S. fled in humiliation from Afghanistan?

        …Why does the U.S. discount the serial and ascending nuclear threats from Russia, but we remain careful not to antagonize China?

        After all, China sent a spy balloon brazenly across the U.S. to surveille and spy on American strategic locations.

        And why is the administration so quiet about a likely leak of an engineered deadly COVID-19 virus from a Chinese virology lab that killed 1 million Americans?

        These are Ukrainian war-related questions that never seem to be answered – but should be as the carnage rises and the nuclear threshold falls.

      Remember when Joe Biden bragged about Deb Haaland being the first Native American cabinet secretary in history of the United States?

      Deb Haaland was not chosen to be Biden’s Interior Secretary because she’s qualified for the job.

      She checked a box: First Native American cabinet secretary.

      And this is the result…

      Deb Haaland was left speechless and stuttering during Wednesday’s appearance before the House Appropriations Committee, Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and related agencies.

      Secretary Haaland sat in silence and looked like a deer in headlights before muttering a few words.

      She is completely clueless and couldn’t even answer a basic question on China and the production of critical minerals.

      Haaland acted like a little girl getting scolded and used a childish voice to answer questions.

  16. Litigation From Hell: Satanic Group Take to the Courts – Defend ‘Satanic After-School Clubs’ – Say Abortion Is a ‘Religious Right’
    By Paul Serran Mar. 28, 2023 12:40 pm35 Comments

    Satanism is rapidly expanding in the US, and it has gained a hold of the culture, in many aspects. In the music business and in Hollywood, Satanism is all the rage and a lot of mainstream artists don’t even disguise it anymore.

    Now, Satanic groups are starting to flex their judicial muscles to defend what they see as their ‘rights’. The main example would be The Satanic Temple — an organization based out of Salem, Massachusetts — who alleges to have 1.5 million members worldwide.

    Earlier this month, we learned that the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is threatening a school district with a lawsuit on behalf of an ‘After school Satanists club’ and the Satanic Temple.

    The Guardian reported:

    An after-school Satanists club in Pennsylvania is threatening to raise hell after local district leaders denied them the ability to convene on their school grounds.

    The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), together with its Pennsylvania chapter, sent a letter to the Saucon Valley school district demanding that they allow the After School Satan Club, or ASSC, access to school facilities in accordance with the US constitution’s first amendment right to practice religion freely.

    […] In the letter addressed to the district, the ACLU said: ‘The district has intentionally opened up its facilities for general community use and, in so doing, may not limit access to this forum based on the content of our clients’ speech, their religious identity, or their viewpoint – even if some may find their beliefs ‘controversial or divisive’. Nor may the district restrict our clients’ access to this forum based on others’ animus toward our clients’ religion, or based on the anticipated or actual reactions to the content or viewpoint of our clients’ speech.’”

    Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra on Tuesday testified before the House Ways and Means Committee on Biden’s fiscal year 2024 budget.

    Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde grilled Xavier Becerra about spending unauthorized funds.

    “Do you think unauthorized federal programs should be funded?” Rep. Clyde asked Becerra.

    Becerra offered up some talking points to avoid answering the question.

    Rep. Clyde pushed back and asked Becerra if he is spending unauthorized funds on Title X family planning services.

    “Title X has not been authorized since 1985,” the Congressman said before asking Becerra why he hasn’t asked for authorization to spent the money.

    Xavier Becerra admitted he has been illegally spending unauthorized funds for the past two years.

    “I would love to have the authorization,” Becerra said.

    • Death During Ramadan – What happens if someone dies during Ramadan?

      Prophet Muhammad said, “When the month of Ramadan begins, the gates of the heaven are opened, and the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are ‘chained.”

      […]In light of the aforementioned hadith, during the month of Ramadan, the gates of Heaven are opened, and the doors to hell are closed.

      This indicates that when a person dies during the month of Ramadan, their soul goes straight to Heaven and is saved from the questioning of the grave.

      […]

      https://thepilgrim.co/death-during-ramadan/

      Is it true?

      A commonly raised question is that what is the reward for passing away during the blessed month of Ramadan?

      Does the soul of the deceased person go straight to Heaven to meet with the soul of our beloved Prophet Muhammad and his Sahaba?

      […]The promise of entering Heaven upon dying during the holy month of Ramadan is for those who do righteous deeds and that his or her final deed was a righteous one as well. It does not simply work for dying in Ramadan.

    A mammoth meatball has been created by a cultivated meat company, resurrecting the flesh of the long-extinct animals.

    The project aims to demonstrate the potential of meat grown from cells, without the slaughter of animals, and to highlight the link between large-scale livestock production and the destruction of wildlife and the climate crisis.

    The mammoth meatball was produced by Vow, an Australian company, which is taking a different approach to cultured meat.

    There are scores of companies working on replacements for conventional meat, such as chicken, pork and beef. But Vow is aiming to mix and match cells from unconventional species to create new kinds of meat.

    The company has already investigated the

    From the cover of Forbes to bribing China with $40 million, FTX’s former CEO has done it all.

    The AP reported earlier today on an additional charge against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (FTX).

    FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was charged with directing $40 million in bribes to one or more Chinese officials to unfreeze assets relating to his cryptocurrency business in a newly rewritten indictment unsealed Tuesday.

    The charge of conspiracy to violate the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act raises to 13 the number of charges Bankman-Fried faces after he was arrested in the Bahamas in December and brought to the United States soon afterward. The indictment was returned on Monday.

    FTX filed for bankruptcy on Nov. 11, when it ran out of money after the cryptocurrency equivalent of a bank run. He has remained free on a $250 million personal recognizance bond that lets him stay with his parents in Palo Alto, California.

  24. Trans Rights Or Else” – Trans Advocate Posts Selfie Wearing Sweatshirt With Guns and a Shocking Threat
    By Assistant Editor Mar. 28, 2023 3:00 pm401 Comments

    Following the horrific murder of innocent Christian children and staff in Nashville, TN on Monday Morning many have taken to social media to rebuke the evil and support the families. Tragically a transgender individual took the lives of six innocent people, three children and three adults. Police have reported that the shooter had a manifesto and plan to intentionally attack the Christian private school she once attended.

    Unfortunately, some people do not seem to share in our sorrow. Twitter user and apparent radical transgender advocate @LumpofNicoal has opted to instead defend a prior post showing him wearing a shirt that says “trans rights or else” with assorted firearms, a clear message.

    Transgender School Shooter Had Plans For Other Targets, Including Her Family Who Did Not Accept Her Lifestyle Choice
    By Cassandra MacDonald Mar. 28, 2023 3:30 pm187 Comments

    Transgender school shooter Audrey Hale had plans for other targets, including her family members, who reportedly did not accept her lifestyle choice.
    Hale, 28, shot and killed three nine-year-old students and three teachers at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday. She was fatally shot by police inside of the building.

    According to a report from the Daily Mail, Hale’s parents, church coordinator Norma, 61, and her husband Ronald, 64, “refused to let Hale – who had recently adopted the name Aiden and used he/him pronouns – dress as a man in their home.”

    The transgender child killer would dress like a woman at home, then change clothes when she went out.

    “You only see what you want to see. Their religion does not allow them to accept homosexuality,” a source told the Daily Mail. “She was Audrey at home but when she left the house she changed clothes. They did know about it, they just didn’t accept it.”

    A Wisconsin man has been arrested for firebombing the office of Wisconsin Family Action, a pro-life organization, after the overturning of Roe v. Wade in May.
    The alleged arsonist, Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury, 29, was arrested in Boston, Massachusetts, on Tuesday.

    Life News reports, “the suspect appears to be a biochemist and former research scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in its Romero Lab. A LinkedIn profile for Roychowdhury says he recently began working at the Promega Corporation, which also is located in Madison, Wisconsin. As an undergraduate student, he also appears to have received an award for outstanding achievement while studying at the New Mexico State University College of Arts and Sciences.”

    The arsonist had also vandalized the office with the slogan of Jane’s Revenge, a far-left extremist group that has

  26. Murder trial to begin in Austin for Army sergeant who claimed to shoot BLM protestor in self-defense in 2020
    Detective David Fugitt gave testimony that the DA’s office forced him to remove exculpatory evidence from his grand jury presentation.

    The murder trial for an Army sergeant who shot and killed a protester during riots that rocked the US in the summer of 2020 began on Monday in Austin, Texas.

    During the BLM riots and protests that broke out across the US and in the Texas state capitol in the wake of the death of George Floyd, Sgt. Daniel Perry, was stationed at Fort Hood. Video from that night shows the sequence of events, with Perry’s car being stopped by protestors in the street.

    According to police, the night of July 25, 2020, Perry was driving for Uber in downtown Austin to make extra money and came across a large group of protesters illegally blocking city streets as was common in Austin and elsewhere during the weeks of rioting.

    Perry’s defense team alleges that the protesters encircled his car and began pounding on his vehicle. Among the protestors was 28-year-old Garrett Foster, who was armed with an AK-47.

    According to Perry, Foster raised the firearm at him, prompting him to open fire with a handgun he legally carried for self-defense. Attorney for Perry Doug O’Connell told Fox News, “When Garrett Foster pointed his AK-47 at Daniel Perry, Daniel had two tenths of a second to defend himself. He chose to live.”

    O’Connell added, “It may be legal in Texas to carry an assault rifle in down town Austin. It doesn’t make it a good idea. If you point a firearm at someone, you’re responsible for everything that happens next.”

    Perry drove away from the scene to a safe location and called 911 to report what happened. He was interviewed by officers that night and released, but a grand jury returned an indictment for murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon a year later.

    The well-respected lead investigator who is nicknamed the “godfather of the homicide unit,” Detective David Fugitt, claimed in an August 2021 sworn affidavit that prosecutors under Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza, who has been funded by George Soros, forced him to remove exculpatory evidence from his grand jury presentation.

    Fugitt wrote in the affidavit, “It became clear to me that the District Attorney’s Office did not want to present evidence to the grand jury that would be exculpatory to Daniel Perry and/or to show that witness statements obtained by the family of Garrett Foster and/or their attorneys were inconsistent with prior interviews such ‘witnesses’ gave the police and/or the video of the incident in question.”

    An investigation revealed that Garza’s office has dropped hundreds of felony cases but also sought indictments against almost two-dozen APD officers who responded to the 2020 riots, including one during which rioters attempted to take seize the downtown Austin police headquarters

  27. FBI and Chris Wray Missed Nashville School Shooter’s Manifesto and Final Messages – Instead Focused on Empowering Female Officers in “Diversity” Pledge on SAME DAY as Shooting
    By Jordan Conradson Mar. 28, 2023 4:45 pm0 Comments

    In the wake of the Nashville shooting and prior, the highly politicized FBI was taking a pledge to recruit more women “in an effort expected to advance diversity, strengthen partnerships, and enhance operational success.”

    At 12:41 pm CT on Tuesday, the FBI’s official Twitter page shared this news. On February 27, the day that three young students and three teachers were murdered by a transgender who kept a manifesto and mapped out her plan in Nashville, TN, the FBI published their report about joining “a push to recruit more female sworn law enforcement officers and to empower them professionally.”

    Less than one hour earlier, The Gateway Pundit reported that the school shooter, Audrey Hale, sent highly alarming text messages to her friend, outlining her plans for the day on Monday right before murdering innocent students and teachers.

  28. “THAT RED LINE – ARE DEAD BODIES!” – FIREWORKS! Ted Cruz EXPLODES During Testmony From Sec. Mayorkas on Biden’s Open Border (VIDEO)
    By Jim Hoft Mar. 28, 2023 5:00 pm9 Comments

    Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.

    During his testimony Mayorkas deflected and refused to answer any serious questions. He was obviously not there to share the truth with the senators.

    Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) would have none of it. Senator Cruz started screaming at Mayorkas for refusing to answer his questions. Mayorkas would deflected when asked about how many refugees had died on the way to the US and how the open border under Joe Biden made the country a more dangerous place to live.

    Ted Cruz erpted when Mayorkas refused to answer about the growing number of dead migrants found dead at the border.

    Ted Cruz: Has the crisis made aliens less safe? Yes or no?

    Mayorkas: Senator, we are seeking…

    Ted Cruz: So you won’t answer that question. Either it’s a yes or no. Has it made aliens less safe?

    Mayorkas: Senator, smugglers are exploiting has the crisis made aliens yes…

    Ted Cruz: Are you willing to answer it?

    Mayorkas: Senator, the smuggling organizations okay, you’re filibustering.

    Ted Cruz: Again, let me ask you this question. How many migrants have died under President Biden?

    Mayorkas: Senator, your phrasing of the question is actually quite misleading…

    Ted Cruz: How many migrants died in 2022 at or approaching our southern border?… Do you know how many died?

    Mayorkas: I do not.

    Ted Cruz: You do not? Of course you don’t. I know how many died. 853. That is 853. And by the way, here are the numbers that have died every year. You go back to 1998, you see it’s consistently between 304 hundred. 304 to 404 hundred. Suddenly, in 2021, what happens? You get in office, and that red line are dead bodies. I’ve been on the Rio Grande and I’ve seen dead bodies floating there who’ve drowned because of your refusal to do your job. You don’t even know how many have died. What do you say to the Texas farmers and ranchers who find pregnant ladies dead on their property, who find toddlers dead on their property? What do you say to them?

    Joe Biden and his henchman Mayorkas opened the US southern border to over 5 million illegals in their first two years in office. The open borders also brought along with it drugs and death.

    If the plan was to destroy America – it’s working out perfectly.

  30. The US-Backed Color Revolution In Israel Just Reached Crisis Proportions

    At all costs, America believes that it must do whatever’s necessary to prevent the Israeli state from exercising its sovereign right under Bibi’s restored leadership to balance between the US-led West’s Golden Billion and the Sino-Russo Entente in the New Cold War instead of decisively take the former’s side against the latter.

    Most immediately, its “deep state” wants Israel to arm Kiev, which Bibi himself warned earlier this month could abruptly catalyze a crisis with Russia in Syria, thus opening a “second front” in the US’ Eurasian-wide “containment” campaign.

  31. Pay Attention To Rising Anti-Establishment Sentiment In Poland

    The almost doubling of support for the anti-establishment Confederation party in recent months shows that Poles aren’t satisfied with their country’s political duopoly, both members of which share the same stance of unwaveringly supporting Kiev in NATO’s proxy war on Russia.

    That issue is of paramount importance to average people since it’s resulted in surging inflation and a sudden end to their country’s post-war homogeneity due to historically unprecedented rates of Ukrainian migration. Neither PiS nor PO want to curtail Poland’s leading role in this conflict, hence Confederation’s appeal, which is critical of this policy.
