China is certainly getting its money’s worth out of presidentish Joe Biden, who used a fundraising event on Tuesday to repeat Chinese propaganda about that spy balloon from last March.

“The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two boxcars full of spy equipment in it is he didn’t know it was there,” Biden told the gathering of Democratic donors. “That wasn’t supposed to be going where it was, it was blown off course.”

The path that China’s spy balloon followed on its totally accidental course over the continental United States included at least two of our most sensitive Air Force facilities. As the balloon meandered around totally inadvertently, it loitered over both facilities with its two boxcars worth of electronic surveillance gear.

Despite the balloon’s presence over Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, Biden refused to order the balloon shot down until it had fully transversed U.S. territory and was out at sea over the Atlantic. Nevertheless, Biden insisted to his big-money donors that Xi Jinping “is in a situation now where he wants to have a relationship again.”

Who wouldn’t want a relationship with a guy that stays bought?

Malmstrom, by the way, is home to more than 3,000 Air Force personnel of the 341st Missile Wing. They operate three squadrons of Minuteman III nuclear missiles — one-third of our ground-based nuclear deterrent. Whiteman is where the Air Force houses its only wing of B-2 stealth heavy bombers.

A report from April indicated that Xi’s toy balloon was able to transmit secret intelligence to Beijing “in real-time.”

“No, I’m serious,” Biden insisted on Tuesday, “That’s what the great embarrassment for dictators — when they didn’t know what happened.”

Uh-huh.

Beijing protested the description of Xi Jinping as a dictator, calling the remark an “open political provocation,” immediately following Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s official visit to China this week to repair relations.

The New York Post argued on Monday that Biden’s “policy on China is now outright appeasement.”

“Crucially, Washington had to bribe Beijing to even get this meeting,” the Post’s editors wrote. “It has played down Beijing’s intensifying intelligence-gathering (the Cuba spy base, the spy balloon, China’s ‘secret police’ stations inside our country) and is delaying the declassifying of intelligence on COVID’s origins.”

Whatever Beijing’s official protests were to Biden’s remarks, China must be not-so-secretly pleased by Biden following the Communist Party line about their spy balloon being somehow off course and that Xi would never-ever-ever allow such a thing if only he’d known.

And they’ve got to be thrilled by Blinken’s visit where China gave nothing and got much, including Blinken’s blink on the balloon issue: “That chapter should be closed,” he said right there in Beijing.

But mostly, Beijing must be happy to have gotten their money’s worth — “Chinese elite have paid some $31 million to Hunter and the Bidens” — out of the President of the United States.

If one believes that the one true god has commanded such killing (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5), then to engage in it is a blessed act, and such killing would be a fitting gift to others who also believe it to be divinely commanded.

“Farewell Gifts To Buhari, Ors: 700 Christians Slaughtered In May, 1,100 In 60 Days And 2,150 In 160 Days Of 2023,” by Emeka Umeagbalasi, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, June 12, 2023:

Fulani Jihadists Slaughtered 700 Christians As “Farewell Gifts” To Nigerian Radical Islamic Leaders

The Nigerian radical Islamic leaders who marked the end of their civilian office tenures on 29th May 2023 were wished “farewell” by Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen who marked the end of their office tenures by slaughtering not less than 700 defenseless Christians in May 2023 (month of handover). In a detailed investigation by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, it was gathered that not less than 300 Christians were slaughtered in Plateau State (Mangu county, etc) between 15th and 17th May 2023 alone. The second worst hit State is Benue where not less than 110 Christians were slaughtered in May-early June 2023 including 40 slaughtered between 3rd and 4th June 2023 and 18 defenseless Christians hacked to death on 21st May 2023 as well as 28 others slaughtered between 7th and 10th May 2023. In all, Benue State accounted for over 190 Christian deaths between 12th April and 12th June 2023.

The third worst hit State is Kaduna where not less than 100 Christians were slaughtered between 12th April and 12th June 2023. The out-gone Government of Kaduna State-backed killing of Christians as “farewell gifts” had included slaughtering of 33 Christians by Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen on 15th April 2023 in Runji village in Atyap, Zango Kataf LGA of Kaduna State, during which 42 houses were burned down or destroyed. Between March and April 2023, not less than 68 Christians were slaughtered in Atyap Land alone; with less than 10 Christian school children abducted on 4th April from Government Secondary School Avon in Kachia LGA of Kaduna State who were taken into Jihadists’ captivity. According to the Southern Kaduna Peoples’ Union (SOKAPU), not less than 245 Southern Kaduna communities have been sacked and violently occupied by Fulani Terror Jihadists in six years (2017-2023). In Nassarawa State, no fewer than 38 Christian residents of Takalafia and Gwanja communities in the Karu Local Government Area of the State were hacked to death by terror herdsmen who stormed the area on Thursday night (14th May 2023).

1,100 Christians Killed By Jihadists In 60 Days And 2,150 In First 160 Days Of 2023 (1st Jan-12th June)

Not less than 1,100 defenseless Christians were hacked to death by Nigerian Government backed Islamic Jihadists in the past 60 days or between 12th April and 12th June 2023; translating to daily average of 17 Christian deaths. The period under review also represents one of the bloodiest in anti Christian attacks in Nigeria. The breakdown of the 1,100 Christian deaths in 60 days (12th April-12th June 2023) shows that Plateau State is the worst hit with 350 Christian deaths, followed by Benue with 200 deaths, Kaduna 100 deaths, Nassarawa 62 deaths, Niger 50 deaths and ethnically and religiously related killings by the Police and Military personnel in the East 50 deaths. Others are Borno/Yobe with 40 Christian deaths, Taraba 40 deaths, Kebbi 20 deaths, South-West 20 deaths, South-East 20 deaths, Adamawa 10 deaths, South-South 10 deaths and FCT 10 Christian deaths. There are also 200 Christian deaths representing “dark figures of crimes” including over 80 Christian deaths omitted in places like Kaduna State, covering 1st January to 10th April 2023 and 10% (70 deaths) of the 700 abductees representing those abducted who are incapable of returning to their families alive. Also In two months gone by, not less than 700 Christians were abducted in Kaduna, Niger, Borno, Taraba, Yobe, Adamawa, Benue, Plateau, Kebbi, Nassarawa, Edo, Osun, Kwara, Kogi, FCT, Ondo, Delta, Enugu, Anambra and Abia States. In the 1,100 defenseless Christian deaths, Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen accounted for not less than 800 killings. We had in our mother Report of 10th April 2023,disclosed that 1,041 defenseless Christians were hacked to death in Nigeria in the first 100 days of 2023 or 1st Jan to 10th April 2023. In all, therefore, it has been investigated and found that a total of not less than 2,150 defenseless Christians have been slaughtered by non state actor/Nigerian Government backed Islamic Jihadists in the past 160 days or 1st Jan to 12th June 2023. Over 1,400 others were abducted; out of which 10% or 140 may be incapable of returning to their families alive. Kaduna State top the list of the abducted with at least 700, followed by Niger State with 300.

1000 Christian Communities Sacked By Jihadists And Government Security Forces Since 2016

Available statistics showed that Nigerian Government protected Jihadists and its Jihad enabler security forces have sacked 1000 Christian communities since 2016 and aided and abetted their takeover and occupation by the Jihadists; out of which, Benue State lost 400 Christian communities, Kaduna 245, Plateau 200, Taraba 100 and South-East 60. Christian communities have also been uprooted in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Niger, Kogi, Nassarawa, Kebbi, Kastina, Edo, Delta, Anambra, Enugu, etc.

100 Churches Razed In 2 Months: 12th April-12th June 2023

Not less than 100 churches have been razed or burned down or destroyed by Islamic Jihadists in the past sixty days or between 12th April and 12th June 2023; out of which Plateau State lost not less than 28 churches. Several churches suffered similar Jihadist attacks in Southern Kaduna and other parts of the State including Chikun where 40 Christians were abducted in a Chikun church by Fulani Jihadists on 7th May 2023. Churches in Adamawa State also came under attack including abduction of two pastors in Yola and attacks on churches on 24th May 2023. Several churches and hundreds of Christian homes had come under devastating attacks in Benue, Taraba, Borno, Yobe, Katsina, Zamfara, Nassarawa and Kogi States; totaling over 100 church attacks or burnings or destructions between 12th April and 12th June 2023….

It Turns Out the Dominion Voting Machines CAN Be Manipulated

Now They Tell Us: New Report Reveals ‘Critical Vulnerabilities’ in Dominion Voting Machines

Now They Tell Us: New Report Reveals ‘Critical Vulnerabilities’ in Dominion Voting Machines

As we all know, the 2020 presidential election was the most honest, above-board exercise of popular suffrage in the recorded history of mankind, and anyone who suggests otherwise is a racist, bigoted redneck yahoo who wants to install Donald Trump as dictator-for-life of this once-proud republic. That said, however, there has been a steady trickle of revelations suggesting that the 2020 election was not actually the pristine civics lesson that we have been forced to affirm it to have been (on pain of vilification and de-platforming). The latest is the belated release this week of the 2021 Halderman Report, which shows that Dominion Voting Systems voting machines are not quite the unimpeachable fortresses they’ve been touted to be.

This is odd in the extreme, as it was just a few weeks ago that Fox News settled with Dominion for an eye-watering $787.5 million and fired its top host, Tucker Carlson, on top of that, all for suggesting that the election may not have been up to the standard of elections in bastions of democracy such as Cuba or Zimbabwe. But on Sunday, the National Pulse reported that the Halderman Report “lays bare a litany of ‘critical vulnerabilities’ in Dominion Voting Systems’ machines, currently being used in a number of states and in all voting locations in the U.S. state of Georgia.”

The report, which according to the National Pulse was “compiled by Prof. Alex Halderman and Prof. Drew Springall as part of the lawsuit Curling v. Raffensperger,” explains how “ballot scanners and ballot marking devices (ICX) ‘can be exploited to subvert all of its security mechanisms’ and that ‘ICX could be used to change the votes of individual Georgia voters.’” And if it can be done in Georgia and the same machines are in use elsewhere, it can be done in other states as well.

The possibilities for what might have been done in 2020 are obvious, but it’s clear that no matter what comes out now, there’s no getting rid of Old Joe Biden and his henchmen until Nov. 2024. The overarching question now is whether these vulnerabilities can and will be fixed in time for the next presidential election, or whether the Dominion voting machines will once again present a golden opportunity for all those who want to “enhance” our next presidential contest the way they did the last one.

The Halderman Report also establishes that in the Dominion voting machines, “attackers can alter the QR codes on printed ballots,” and “can install malware with only brief physical access to the machines.” Halderman adds, “An attacker with brief access to a single ICX or a single Poll Worker Card and PIN can obtain the county-wide [cryptographic] keys.” He noted that all this can be done without leaving any traces of its having been done: “ICX malware can still change individual votes and most election outcomes without detection.” And post-election audits would be no use, either: “Even the ‘auditability of the ballots’ can be compromised, and ‘such cheating could not be detected by [a risk-limiting audit] or a hand count.’”

Halderman accordingly warns that “[a] dishonest election worker… with just brief access to the scanner’s memory card could violate ballot secrecy and determine how individual voters voted.” This kind of vulnerability wouldn’t even require some large-scale conspiracy. All that would be needed would be a handful of wokesters among local election officials, and lo and behold, we’ll be in for another Red Trickle, or at worst, a Blue Wave emanating not from a popular enthusiasm for men dominating women’s sports and racial tensions being higher than they’ve been in decades, but from chicanery in the voting machinery.

Even fixing these problems may not be enough, as the problems with the machines are extremely large. The report further warns that “merely patching these specific problems is unlikely to make the ICX substantially more secure… It is very likely that there are other, equally critical flaws… yet to be discovered.” Halderman accordingly concludes that these “technical findings leave Georgia voters with greatly diminished grounds to be confident that the votes they cast on the ICX BMD are secured.” Once again, that doesn’t go for Georgia alone. The Pulse points out that “by November 2020, 24 states used one or more components of the Dominion Democracy Suite voting system, and the ICX mentioned used in 16 states, with Georgia mandating the system as the primary method of voting.”

Thus as we head into the 2024 election, the integrity of the entire process is in serious jeopardy. And who is working to fix that?

 

Everything’s Legal Until You Get Caught: Teachers Hold Online Meeting About Quietly Training Kids

Everything's Legal Until You Get Caught: Teachers Hold Online Meeting About Quietly Training Kids

When I was a kid, whenever I would act up the common threat was that I would be packed up and shipped off to military school within the week. To be fair, my parents were left-wing pacifists and I suppose in their minds that would have been the direst of consequences. But I remember thinking at the time that it wasn’t such a bad idea. It would have been superior in many respects to what I was learning, and the photos always showed these majestic campuses in some bucolic setting. Maybe New England. Plus, girls dig a man in uniform. Or so I’m told. Homeschooling wasn’t a big thing back then, and the stereotypes surrounding it were already cemented in place. And my parents were “intentional” about their beliefs. That meant dragging me to cultural events that I didn’t understand and making me eat healthy food that I despised.

And people are still being “intentional” about educating indoctrinating children, even when parents and communities are opposed to the indoctrination being provided. Not everyone, parents and students alike, are thrilled with the gender agenda replacing basic, age-appropriate education. And a group of teachers in the Midwest was undoubtedly well aware of the students who have walked out of class in protest of the LGBTQ curriculum, the reaction of Muslim parents over said agenda, and the protest outside of Dodger Stadium. And whether they will admit it or not, they have been rattled by the parents across the nation who have found their voices and told school boards where to get off.

So these Midwestern teachers got together online to swap tips, tricks, and ideas on how to subvert students without their parents ever finding out. But somebody tipped off the Daily Mail, which in many respects puts 99% of U.S. newspapers to shame. The Mail was able to access an online meeting hosted by the Midwest and Plains Equity Assistance Center, also known as MAP. MAP, by the way, receives funding from the Department of Education. Not that the news should surprise anyone. Thirty teachers logged in to the “workshop.” Topics included skirting new laws to help students with changing their names and pronouns, bathrooms, sports teams, and parental rights.  Some teachers said that they were adhering to the laws and rules, while others bragged about being subversive when it comes to students’ gender issues. Kimberly Martin, who is the DEI coordinator for Royal Oak Schools in Michigan, commented, “We’re working with our record-keeping system so that certain screens can’t be seen by the parents … if there’s a nickname in there we’re trying to hide.” Shea Martin, a “trans educator” and leftist blogger in Ohio, stated in part, “The stakes are very high for trans youth. I think that requires working subversively and quietly sometimes to make sure that trans kids have what they need.” She also talked about addressing sexuality with children 5 to 10 years old, admonishing attendees to be careful about reinforcing heterosexuality as “the norm.” Talking with parents about their children was never discussed, and the idea that automatically affirming gender identity might not be in the child’s best interests did not come up.

And yes, everyone had their pronouns displayed in the chat.

MAP covers Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. So it may be operating in a school district near you. Even yours. And they would prefer you keep your nose out of your child’s business. And if possible, they don’t even want you to know.

When I was in school, I was the standard-issue nerd until about my sophomore year. Then, because Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet were popular, I started dressing in the style of what was known as the “New Romantics.” That meant wearing suits and the skinny ties that dominated much of the ’80s. By my junior year, I was a preppy. There were kids who dressed like Cyndi Lauper, and those who were into the whole metal thing. Some wore athletic apparel. On the rare occasion that I have seen someone from my high school days, no one is dressing, thinking, or acting like they did in high school.

Kids will always follow trends to fit in and be at least liked if not popular. That applies to their dress, their music, and their companions. It probably goes back millions of years to when the first prehistoric kid came home wearing a lion skin instead of a bear skin and his dad said, “You’re not wearing that thing in my cave.” Or, “You’re not going out hunting mammoths dressed like that!”

The difference is that until now, allegedly trusted authority figures did not push kids to follow a trend. Or to have surgeries or take drugs that will drastically alter their lives, in some cases forever. Or teach them to indulge in sexual behavior long before they are ready. In short, there was a time when teachers cared more about their students than they did about themselves. Many still do, but far too many do not.
