RE: News of the World - DerVVulfman - 12-08-2020 The headline is what Trey Gowdy said of Speaker Nancy Pelosi who had now chosen to back a $9 Million relief package which is less than half what Steven Mnuchin offered her just weeks before. She refused taking it, and why? Because "we have a new president", in her own words. Speaker Pelosi was criticized of course. So she pointed a finger at the reporter who criticized her and said: Pelosi Wrote:I'm going to tell you something. Don't characterize what we did before as a mistake, as a preface to your question, if you want an answer. That was not a mistake. It was a decision, and it has taken us to a place where we can do the right thing without other, shall we say, considerations in the legislation that we don't want.So Pelosi believed that withholding relief to all the citizens was NOT a mistake, her own words. She played politics with lives. Quote:In the video, a top economics professor discusses how China was able to easily settle disputes with prior administrations because they have people at the top of America, specifically on Wall Street. But when Trump came a long, all that Chinese influence went away.Not only that, the professor called out Hunter and Joe Biden as being quite literally connected to Chinese finances. Video footage of the Chinese professor is available for viewing. Bob Unanue, the CEO of Goya Foods stated that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Dem - NY) was selected as the company's "Employee of the Month" earlier when she brought attention to the company by an attempt to have it boycotted. Her boycott because Unanue, with other Hispanic leaders, spoke favorably about President Trump at the White House, "We're all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder." Bob Unanue Wrote:When she boycotted us, our sales actually increased 1,000%, so we gave her an honorary — we never were able to hand it to her — she got employee of the month for bringing attention to Goya and our adobo.Comically ironic, wouldn't you say? A week ago, I pointed out... Who is Ruby Freeman? She is one of the Fulton, Georgia Vote Counters that were caught on video pulling out hidden briefcases filled with ballots when everyone else left. Since then, she either made her Facebook page private, or had it deleted altogether. Since the video, she haw now lawyer-ed up. Gee, wonder why?

Well, you know guys, four meters do matter if you're a geographer. Uber sheds self-driving cars to focus on profits
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-55224462BBC Wrote:Uber is selling its driverless car subsidiary to start-up Aurora Technologies, shedding a unit that Uber's founder once hailed as critical to the future of the firm. So Uber still cares about self driving cars but not too much!? Japan to fund AI matchmaking to boost birth rate
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-55226098BBC Wrote:Japan plans to boost its tumbling birth rate by funding artificial intelligence matchmaking schemes to help residents find love. So if you think you're a failure and still wanna marry somebody, you need a computer to make the decision on your behalf!? It definitely sounds as if they were after the actual opposite of love indeed. Welcome to the Matrix!? RE: News of the World - kyonides - 12-08-2020 Charlie Hebdo attack: France seeks long jail terms in Paris trial
https://www.bbc.com/news/55231200BBC Wrote:France's anti-terror prosecutors have called for defendants on trial for a series of militant Islamist attacks in Paris to be given long jail terms. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman denies sending hit squad to Canada
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-55232926Months ago I reported how some guy, Saad al-Jabri, accused the Saudi Crown Prince of sending hitmen to kill him in Canada for he knew too much. The prince obviously denied he was involved in such an assassination attempt. Normally foreign leaders are immune from prosecution but there might be an exception out there... BBC Wrote:However Mr Jabri is suing the crown prince under of the Alien Tort statute and the 1991 Torture Victim Protection Act, which allow foreign nationals to file complaints in the US over alleged human rights abuses. The article also reveals Mr. Jabri was an important liaison for MI6 and other Western spy agencies. Tesla: German court halts factory plan over snake and lizard habitats
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55235802Why do greens insist on halting the construction of the Tesla Gigafactory? BBC Wrote:The environmentalist groups say Tesla's deforestation will destroy the habitats of sand lizards and smooth snakes, both of which are protected species. They have also expressed concern that the building work will disturb these reptiles during their winter hibernation. Well, everything changes when protected animals like are involved there... Especially because Germans care about the environment or so it seems to be the case. Fort Hood: Soldiers fired and suspended after Vanessa Guillen probe
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55235381BBC Wrote:The US Army has fired or suspended 14 commanders and lower-level leaders at the Fort Hood base in Texas over a pattern of violence there, including murder, sexual assaults and harassment. I wonder if dismissals and suspensions are the best punishments for those former army officials. IS tried to build pulse jet-powered drones
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-55229443BBC Wrote:The Islamic State (IS) group attempted to develop high-speed drones powered by pulse jet engines like those used in V-1 bombs dropped on the UK during World War Two, an investigation has found. But what's CAR!? Google Wrote:Conflict Armament Research is a UK-based investigative organization that tracks the supply of conventional weapons, ammunition, and related military materiel into conflict-affected areas. BBC Wrote:The report said production became "increasingly technically advanced and quasi-industrialised" between 2014 and 2017, the height of IS's so-called caliphate. It's outrageous to learn how some families endorsed IS like that but there's something else you might keep in mind. BBC Wrote:The report said a "fully constructed pulse jet engine" measuring more than two metres in length was found at a hospital in west Mosul, Iraq in September 2017. So they were using a hospital as a hiding place as well!? Denmark apologises to children taken from Greenland in a 1950s social experiment
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55238090BBC Wrote:Denmark's prime minister has apologised to 22 children who were removed from their homes in Greenland in the 1950s in a failed social experiment. I wonder why it took them like 60 years to apologize for it. But why did they "kidnap" such kids at all? BBC says that back in 1951 Danish authorities decided that one way to modernise Greenland would be to create a new type of Greenlander. So Danish authorities still had some sort of colonial mindset that let them think they could mistreat Inuit people. Ethiopia Tigray crisis: UN team fired at on way to refugee camp
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-55234100BBC Wrote:Ethiopian troops shot at and detained UN staff after they drove through check-points in the conflict-hit northern Tigray region, government spokesman Redwan Hussein has confirmed. Even if the Ethiopian government claims it keeps everything under control in Tigray, refugees and UN forces still are in danger. Russian 'doomsday' plane's radio equipment stolen by thieves
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55229438BBC Wrote:Thieves have stolen electronic equipment from a Russian military aircraft known as a "doomsday plane" for its role in the country's nuclear arsenal, local media report. Keep in mind that the last surviving nuclear arsenal pact between USA and Russia is about to expire. Incidents like this one might turn negotiations to extend it or sign a new one including China into a living hell on earth. RE: News of the World - DerVVulfman - 12-10-2020 Former Presidential candidate, Eric Swalwell, had been close to Chinese Spy Fang Fang (or Christine Fang). She was part of a Beijing spying operation lasting from 2011 until 2015, when she left the country. Quote:Her acquaintance with him lasted several years, beginning when he was on the Dublin city council in California, before he won a stunning victory over a Democratic incumbent to enter the House of Representatives. She then raised funds for his 2014 re-election campaign. Federal investigators informed Mr Swalwell of concerns about Ms Fang in 2015, the same year he secured a seat on the House intelligence committee, which oversees various agencies including the CIA and the FBI.So let me get this straight, the spy, and essentially China, worked to have Swalwell re-elected? Trust me, I left out plenty, like how his brother kept ties with her on Facebook until just now. And if you're wondering how Swalwell can remain on Senate Intelligence, ask why Dianne Feinstein can too when she had a Chinese spy in employ. Funny how we only find out about Swalwell now. CNN Wrote:A giant experimental rocket built by Elon Musk's SpaceX successfully soared eight miles above the company's testing facilities in South Texas on Wednesday and came back down as planned, before crashing into the ground in an enormous plume of flames and smoke.Thankfully, it was an un-manned test flight for this prototype. But Musk seems to have a trend for embracing such screw-ups and using what he learned for better products down the line. FTC Wrote:The Federal Trade Commission today sued Facebook, alleging that the company is illegally maintaining its personal social networking monopoly through a years-long course of anticompetitive conduct. Following a lengthy investigation in cooperation with a coalition of attorneys general of 46 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam, the complaint alleges that Facebook has engaged in a systematic strategy—including its 2012 acquisition of up-and-coming rival Instagram, its 2014 acquisition of the mobile messaging app WhatsApp, and the imposition of anticompetitive conditions on software developers—to eliminate threats to its monopoly. This course of conduct harms competition, leaves consumers with few choices for personal social networking, and deprives advertisers of the benefits of competition. The lawsuit asks the Supreme Court to nullify Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia's elections as they violated the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. The Brief Wrote:When non-legislative actors in other States encroach on the authority of the 'Legislature thereof' in that State to administer a Presidential election, they threaten the liberty, not just of their own citizens, but of every citizen of the United States who casts a lawful ballot in that election—including the citizens of amici States.Georgia attorney want to say everything is okay. Fat chance, given that security camera of briefcase ballots came out. Before the Presidential Election, Fox News got word and reported that federal prosecutors opened a criminal investigation on Hunter Biden's dealings with China and other countries. Joe Biden, during the last debate when Trump confronted him and his son made claim "there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he’s accusing me of is a Russian plan", this turnong out to be completely wrong. Please recall how no mainstream media outlet wanted to discuss or even touch the Hunter Biden story. Oh, and there is word that the Hunter Laptop is being used as evidence RE: News of the World - kyonides - 12-10-2020 Wulfo Wrote:CNN Wrote: Wrote:A giant experimental rocket built by Elon Musk's SpaceX successfully soared eight miles above the company's testing facilities in South Texas on Wednesday and came back down as planned, before crashing into the ground in an enormous plume of flames and smoke.Thankfully, it was an un-manned test flight for this prototype. But Musk seems to have a trend for embracing such screw-ups and using what he learned for better products down the line. I don't see how an explosion and some rapid descent can be good for an expensive project like a starship but Musk isn't worried about it at all. So how are they supposed to reuse the spaceship that was supposed to be reusable in the first place!? Musk gotta be crazy indeed. Michigan state rep. threatens 'Trumpers,' calls on 'soldiers' to 'make them pay'
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/michigan-state-rep-threatens-trumpers-calls-on-soldiers-to-make-them-payMichigan's attorney general condemns the threats and the congresswoman's response Fox News Wrote:Democrat Michigan state Rep. Cynthia Johnson was stripped of her committee seats by senior GOP state officials after she released a video on Facebook Tuesday, as a warning to Trump supporters who had left her threatening messages. Let's take a look at what the politician commented on that video. Michigan Rep. Cynthia Johnson Wrote:So this is just a warning to you Trumpers. Be careful, walk lightly, we ain’t playing with you. Enough of the shenanigans. Enough is enough. Well, that sounds truly like a threat, don't you think? I know that being called ghetto hood rat isn't funny at all but that doesn't mean she's entitled to threaten her aggressors the way she did... How exactly did she end up in such an awkward situation? Well, she was against letting the witnesses testify in front of a committee if they were not under oath. She was told that was no legal proceeding at all, they just were looking for ways to improve the electoral process. Other representatives had stripped her of her committees but are considering taking further actions against her based on the ongoing investigation's advances. How China stands to profit from the coronavirus pandemic
https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/how-china-stands-to-profit-from-the-coronavirus-pandemicBeijing is closing the economic gap as the US economy shrinks Asian Studies and National Security at The Heritage Foundation Researcher Dean Cheng Wrote:China's rapid return to more normal activities, including commercial, puts it ahead of the United States and Europe, and now South Korea, in terms of economic activity. In the realm of biotechnology, defense experts have also pointed to exponential levels of growth. U.S.-based defense analyst John Wood Wrote:As of December 2, 2020, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in terms of the phase 3 trials of prospective COVID-19 vaccines, 7 out of the 13 candidates have links to China. Fox News Wrote:For one, Sinovac, a China-based biopharmaceutical company, has contracted to supply 50 million doses to Turkey, 46 million to Brazil and 40 million to Indonesia. Meanwhile, CanSino Biologics, another China-based vaccine conglomerate, has agreed to supply 35 million doses to Mexico, as well as supply its vaccine to Argentina, Chile, Pakistan and Russia. Yeah, a Costa Rican public health institution CCSS purchased thousands of masks... that didn't protect health workers from contracting the Wuhan virus. China also "donated" masks and PPE. France to start research into enhanced soldiers
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55243014BBC Wrote:The French armed forces have been given the go-ahead to start research on developing "enhanced soldiers". Curiously she had stated before that France had no immediate plans to develop invasive technology for soldiers. Now that's exactly what they are looking for right now. BBC also recalled how Musk implanted a chip in Gertrude the pig not long ago. It was supposed to allow the development of a human (or animal) machine interface. French cabinet backs law targeting extremism
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55253832BBC Wrote:The French cabinet has approved a bill aimed at tackling radical Islam after a recent series of attacks by extremists. There are people opposing such a bill and I'd love to ask them if they can really live their peaceful lives knowing that imams and other radical Muslims are teaching their followers that they should attack anybody criticizing Islam. The law would also forbid anybody from revealing other people's private data over the internet to let others hurt or threaten them somehow. Before the French teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded, people had launched an online campaign against him. Court finds UK war crimes but will not take action
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-55247033BBC Wrote:The International Criminal Court says it will not take action against the UK, despite finding evidence British troops committed war crimes in Iraq. So they abused the detainees and even killed some of them but they won't be punished!? Mining giant Rio Tinto to rebuild ancient aboriginal caves

That's what you get for destroying a valuable archaeological site for the sake of extracting iron. Who knows if they'll manage to restore most of it some day... and it won't be cheap at all. Russia to set up naval base in Sudan

Chailan... from CNN Wrote:Obviously, Hunter Biden's lawyer is quoted in the New York Post piece and we'll just continue to report out this is the very stuff that the president was impeached over...Yeah, they preferred to focus on Trump, and the Daily Mail has the audio embedded for your listening pleasure. Hell, almost the entire Mainstream Liberal Media said there was nothing to it But they also went with "Trump Russia Collusion' for three years. But now.... I wonder who is gonna announce that... NY Post Wrote:In a Politico report from September, several sources claimed that Joe Biden’s younger brother transferred money from Americore to himself in the form of personal loans.Yet, I heard about problems with Americore months ago. Quote:Israel and Morocco have agreed to reestablish diplomatic relations, US President Donald Trump announced Thursday, marking the fourth Arab-Israel agreement in four months.Seriously, that's FOUR this year, let alone within 6 months! I'd like to see another President normalize relations like this. RE: News of the World - kyonides - 12-11-2020 Australian Covid vaccine abandoned over false HIV response
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-55269381BBC Wrote:A promising Australian candidate for a coronavirus vaccine has been abandoned after trial participants returned false HIV positive results. Perhaps for us it'd be illogical to stop developing the vaccine just because of a false positive for HIV but let's keep in mind that somebody would have got the shot to prevent him or her from contracting the Wuhan virus. Several months later that person would need to prove that he or she hasn't contracted AIDS, that individual would have been listed as positive even if that were some incorrect result. It's the kind of medical errors that could destroy somebody's life forever. Wuhan Virus: Genes and Severely Ill Patients
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-54832563BBC Wrote:Scientists looked at the DNA of patients in more than 200 intensive care units in UK hospitals. Even so the drug needs to be tested on thousands of patients before they can certify it's a good treatment for covidose people. BBC Wrote:Genetic differences were also found in a gene called DPP9, which plays a role in inflammation, and in a gene called OAS, which helps to stop the virus from making copies of itself. This would be the third study that links Covid to interferon, genetic mutations and autoimmune disorders. RE: News of the World - kyonides - 12-12-2020 FDA approves Pfizer's vaccine for distribution
https://www.foxnews.com/health/fda-approves-pfizers-coronavirus-vaccine-for-euaFox News Wrote:The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday formally granted emergency approval for Pfizer and BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine candidate, officially paving the way for widespread distribution of the long-awaited vaccine. If you're under 17 don't expect to get the shot any time soon. You see, they had no data on young patients so they couldn't prove it was safe for them or they ever needed it from the very beginning. Still, they might be getting a vaccine next summer. Supreme Court of the US declines to hear
Trump-supported Texas case over election results in four other states
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/scotus-denied-election-texas-election-suitLegal experts said Texas' case, flawed in several ways, was likely to fail Fox News Wrote:The Supreme Court has denied a Texas effort Friday that would have essentially nullified the presidential elections in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin. That didn't stop Trump campaign from publishing a video reminding people of their findings that show how they included extra mail in ballots while counting votes or the way Democratic watchers and others prevented Republicans from supervising the counting. Some still think there's a slight chance to make the Supreme Court hear their case. Democrats take for granted all of their efforts will fail the same way this lawsuit did. Biden's Health and Human Services pick
has no public health experience
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bidens-health-and-human-services-pick-has-no-public-health-experienceBecerra's defense of the Affordable Care Act likely landed him the cabinet post Fox News Wrote:President-elect Joe Biden surprised the health community when he announced his pick for Health and Human Services Secretary earlier this week, Xavier Becerra, the attorney general of California. Everybody realizes that he's been fighting for the Affordable Care Act. Some right wing groups complained about Biden's choice because he outright disrespects values like sanctity of human life, including babies' lives. Meanwhile "lefties" criticized Trump for playing games with sexual and reproductive rights. In my humble opinion, I gotta tell you that appointing somebody as a head of a department that has no relation to his or her actual professional experience is a stupid mistake. Would you pick a doctor to lead the Pentagon? If so be prepared to get all branches of the military shutdown in no time. This would be a totally different story if he were running for Congress or Senate where he'd be expected to become a lawmaker. There he could take advantage of his job as an attorney to fight for legal reforms in several areas. I hope this doesn't mean Biden is showing some sort of sign he's out of his mind already. Just joking. RE: News of the World - kyonides - 12-13-2020 Mayhem in Washington, DC, as Trump supporters
