Fauci funded two HIV tracking studies of teenage drug using prostitutes in China
Strange thing for an American agency to be funding. Anthony Fauci's National Institutes of Health agency funded research in China tracking Chinese prostitutes as young as 16-years-old. The unearthed studies, published in 2012 and 2013, follow Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) supporting "killer" bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The Chinese Communist Party-run lab is believed by many to be the source of COVID-19 given its links to the military and controversial gain-of-function research. Comment: The Wuhan labs were US backed, not Chinese, this is further supported by the evidence of US bioweapons research in numerous other countries across the planet. Moreover, the evidence suggests that the coronavirus likely leaked from Fort Detrick, which was temporarily shutdown over a safety breach in August 2019, shortly after covid was detected in multiple regions across the planet.

Mexican cartels fly 9,000 drone flights into US to surveil law enforcement operations
Mexican drug cartels have conducted more than 9,000 drone flights into U.S. airspace in the last year to surveil American law enforcement and security operations in the southern border region, a senior Homeland Security official told Judicial Watch this week. The drones are observing federal, state, county, and city agencies near the Mexican border, including the U.S. Border Patrol, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas National Guard, county sheriffs and local police. The Border Patrol, which operates under Customs and Border Protection (CBP), has captured about a dozen of the drones, and accessed the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles' (UAVs) guidance and memory systems to gain intelligence information, according to a high-level official at the agency. Judicial Watch learned about the Mexican cartel drone incursions during a recent visit to the southern border and specifically while interviewing federal officials at the CBP Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas.

Ukraine can fight Russia 'for 10 years' claims Zelensky, as neo-Nazi led military suffers heavy losses & demands West supply ever more arms
Ukraine is not prepared to give up territory and is ready, if necessary, to fight Russia "for 10 years," President Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed. He also appeared to acknowledge that the current conflict effectively began in 2014, when Kiev first launched an operation to re-take the breakaway Donbass. In an interview with CNN, Zelensky said that for Ukraine "the battle for Donbass is very important" for a number of reasons, adding that it could affect "the course of the whole war." He stressed, however, that a diplomatic solution to the conflict is preferable. Comment: It seems that Russia agrees Donbass is important, that's why it focused on liberating Donbass, and it did so by luring the US-proxy army in Ukraine away to Kiev. "We cannot give up our territory, but we must find some kind of dialogue with Russia," Zelensky said, adding that talks will not be conducted "on the basis of the Russian ultimatum."

Michigan bomb plot: FBI scheme to create false 'domestic terror' cabal exposed in court
Jury throws out government's case — finds FBI agents fabricated a kidnapping threat against Michigan governor so they could pretend to be heroes by foiling a "crime" of their own creation. FBI director's use of entrapment is part of a strategy designed to sow public fear and render support for draconian anti-terrorist legislation. For 95 years — from J Edgar Hoover to Christopher Wray — the FBI has lied, cheated, threatened, and even murdered Americans. Is it beyond reform? Should we replace it with a national police force that protects instead of persecutes those it is supposed to serve? The Michigan bombing case is just the latest, but it is surely not the first example, of the FBI overstepping legal and ethical boundaries to burnish its public image by creating Bad Guys to scare the public and blackmail Congress into passing ever larger budgets to fight domestic terrorism.

CIA bombshell: The Sussmann data was "user created," confirmation of a frame-job against President-Elect Trump
My late Friday night involved hitting refresh on PACER every so often, incurring the $0.10 charge for each search result as I waited on Special Counsel John Durham's latest filing in the Michael Sussmann case. (Exciting, I know.) The motion exceeded expectations, discussing CIA conclusions that Sussmann was providing implausible data to federal authorities, providing CIA notes regarding their meeting with Sussmann, and confirmation that they essentially spied on President-Elect Trump. The motion can be found here. It was filed as part of the government's efforts to convince the court that the evidence it seeks to admit in Sussmann's trial is relevant and admissible. Let's go through the most important parts.

Blanket of snow on Easter Sunday on the summits of Hawaiʻi island
Saturday's heavy rain left a thin blanket of snow on the summits of Hawaiʻi island on Sunday morning. Webcams set above the 13,000 ft. level of Maunakea captured a coating of white, and also appeared to show a snow-capped Mauna Loa in the background. The access road to the summit of Maunakea is closed to the public at the Visitor Information Station, rangers say. Snow can occur at the summit of Maunakea at any time of year, although it most commonly occurs during the winter months.

Twitter's founder and former top boss Jack Dorsey slammed the company's board of directors on Sunday - even as the embattled executives are locked in a dispute over whether to accept billionaire Elon Musk's $43 billion offer to buy the social media platform. Dorsey criticized the board in response to a post in which a user quipped that the company's "early beginning" was "mired in plots and coups" among its founding executives. "It's consistently been the dysfunction of the company," Dorsey said. Later, when asked by another user if he was "allowed to say this" about Twitter's board, Dorsey replied "no."

Liberal gender ideologies imposed on children could warp Western civilization for generations
Leftists are pushing to promote queerness to minors in schools, projecting adult insecurities and undermining traditional values Left-wing pedagogical efforts to introduce gender ideology into the classroom have by and large slipped under the notice of parents, who are only now becoming aware of its impact on children. Some call it 'ideological capture', others call it 'grooming'. Kids are being exposed to drag shows, Pride parades organized by local school boards, transgenderism, and LGBT-based curricula. Children are instructed to question their gender and sexuality. It's all being done for the sake of affirming the choices of adults who often struggle with their own identities.

Putin pressures Israeli to hand over Alexander Nevsky Church to Russia
The demand by Moscow comes at a time when the government in Tel Aviv has been hoping to play both sides amid the Ukraine crisis. Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett urging him to hand over the Alexander Nevsky Church in the Old City of Jerusalem, according to reports in Israeli media. The church, also known as the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, is a major asset of the Russian Orthodox Church in Jerusalem, located in the heart of the Christian Quarter. In 2019, former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised Putin the Alexander Nevsky Church in exchange for the release of an Israeli citizen who had been arrested in Moscow for alleged drug smuggling. Netanyahu later announced that the disputed ownership of the Christian landmark could not be resolved in a court of law, and soon after Israel's land registry commissioner registered the Russian government as the owner of Alexander's Courtyard.

The real Secret Service scandal
Agents should be required to regularly take polygraph tests The two men recently charged with impersonating federal officers while plying Secret Service agents and officers with gifts so far appear to be wannabes who sought to enhance their own importance by ingratiating themselves with law enforcement. According to federal prosecutors, Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali posed as Homeland Security agents and offered Secret Service personnel gifts that included iPhones, surveillance systems, a drone, a flat-screen television, a generator, law enforcement paraphernalia and free rental apartments worth $40,000 a year. The bizarre episode spotlights the potential danger to the president and other protectees if a terrorist organization or a foreign intelligence service were behind such a scheme. By buying off Secret Service personnel, perpetrators could gain access to the president to assassinate him, obtain highly classified information or install bugging devices in the Oval Office.

Banned anti-personnel mines being used by Ukraine discovered by RT reporter
Internationally banned MON-50 and MON-90 mines used by the Ukrainian forces were discovered in Mariupol, RT's Murad Gazdiev reported on Sunday. In 1999, Kiev joined the 1997 Ottawa Convention, which bans use of such devices. They were found inside the Ilyich steel mill. Russian troops and the Donbass forces expelled "Ukrainian nationalists" from the facility on Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry said. "This was set up here with a tripwire," Gazdiev said, standing next to one of the explosive devices that was lying on the floor. More mines were found in wooden crates nearby.

Alex Jones' Infowars files for bankruptcy protection
Infowars has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as the website's founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones faces defamation lawsuits over his comments that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax. The bankruptcy filing Sunday in Texas puts civil litigation on hold while the business reorganizes its finances. The filing came a week before a jury in Texas was set to begin considering how much money Jones, who has already lost the defamation lawsuits, should pay the families of Sandy Hook victims. In its court filing, Infowars said it had estimated assets of $50,000 or less and estimated liabilities of $1 million to $10 million. Creditors listed in the bankruptcy filing include relatives of some of the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 school massacre in Connecticut.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams admits Leftist politics play a role in increased crime across American cities
New York City Mayor Eric Adams agreed with former NYPD commissioner William Bratton that progressive politics played a role in the increase of crime in American cities on ABC's This Week Sunday. "The scales right now are tipped very heavily in favor of the reforms of the progressive left. Well intended, some needed, but a bit too far, and what we have as a result is this growing fear of crime, this growing actual amount of crime in almost every American city," Bratton said during an appearance on the Bloomberg Businessweek podcast Thursday. Adams said that he believed Bratton was "right." "Major mistakes made throughout the years that destroyed the trust that the police commissioner is talking about - we have to rebuild that trust," Adams said. "But we can't rebuild that trust by allowing those who are dangerous and that have - they have a repeated history of violence to continue to be on our streets."

New scientific analysis of the composition of Roman denarii has brought fresh understanding to a financial crisis briefly mentioned by the Roman statesman and writer Marcus Tullius Cicero in his essay on moral leadership, De Officiis, and solved a longstanding historical debate. Researchers at the University of Warwick and the University of Liverpool have analysed coins of the period and revealed a debasement of the currency far greater than historians had thought, with coins that had been pure silver before 90 BC cut with up to 10 per cent copper five years later. Dr. Ponting at the University of Liverpool said: "The Romans had been used to an extremely fine silver coinage, so they may well have lost confidence in the denarius when it ceased to be pure. The precise level of debasement might have been less important to contemporaries than the mere realisation that the coin was adulterated and no longer made of true 'silver'." Professor Butcher at the University of Warwick said "The...

Exposing some myths about the Ukraine war
All rational Americans agree that we shouldn't get involved in the Russia-Ukraine War. The neocon warmongers with brain dead Biden as their figurehead want to destroy Russia, and they are willing to risk nuclear war to do it. But this doesn't negate what I've just said. These monsters are anything but rational. But speaking of monsters leads to another question. Everybody knows John Quincy Adams's line: "America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy." Is this the reason we should stay out of the Ukraine war? Is Putin a monster, bringing death and destruction to innocent people, but someone whose actions we have to ignore because it's too dangerous to act against him? Some people who say this don't get what's happening, although others don't view Putin as a monster, but think he made a mistake. I don't agree, but this isn't my target. Putin is a rational statesman, with legitimate security interests and the supposed hero Zelensky is a dubious character. Why do people...

German media suggests showering less
"Skip a shower, improve your skin microbiome," - that is the takeaway of the latest article published by Germany's Bild newspaper on Saturday. The piece promoting the supposed health benefits of less showering comes at a time when the possibility of a total embargo on all Russian energy imports is being discussed in the country. Titled 'It's enough to wash THESE four body parts - Why the skin cleans itself if you let it,' the article starts off by citing the recent advice by Germany's economy minister, Robert Habeck, who called on his fellow countrymen and women to cut back on their heating, sauna visits, and showers to help the country reduce its dependence on Russian energy. These hygiene-related sacrifices can not only make life harder for the Kremlin, but also improve people's skin, Bild claims.
