KANGAROOING TRUMP, X DROPS “INTEGRITY,” MYANMAR JUNTA LEGITIMIZED, TRAGEDY IN VENICE, UYGHUR SLAVE FIRMS
ED.NOTE: Non-Freedomist-shared links are NOT endorsements
TOP STORIES
NY FRAUD CASE AGAINST TRUMP EXPOSED AS KANGAROO COURT TRIAL RUN BY SEDITIONISTS – Judge Arthur Engoron issued a gag order against Donald Trump in his Fraud case in New York telegraphing to the world his intentions to assure a guilty plea that will enable the Democratic party to sell Donald Trump’s properties and use the proceeds to fund their seditionist programs.
Donald Trump has appealed the seditionist judge’s wild anti-constitutional summary judgment that claims the Judge knows better than anyone else what Trump’s properties are really worth despite having no expertise in that field to justify such a claim. It is unlikely he will win on that appeal in the state of New York as that state has fallen long ago to the party of hate, the party of fear, the party of fake hope that the treasonous terror organization, the Democratic Party, has become.

X WON’T CENSOR ELECTION CONTENT FOR “MISINFORMATION,” AND THE SEDITIONIST LEFT IS NOT HAPPY – Elon Musk has announced the dismantling of his “Election Integrity” team as the 2024 election approaches. He announced the plan in a tweet on September 27, where he said “Oh you mean the “Election Integrity” Team that was undermining election integrity? Yeah, they’re gone.”
That same election integrity team for the U.S. was apparently located in Dublin, Ireland, meaning the primary public speech platform in the U.S. would allegedly be governed for “election integrity” by foreigners. GO DEEPER
THAILAND LEGITIMIZES MYANMAR COUP BY INVITING JUNTA LEADER TO SUMMIT – The Thailand government has formally invited the leader of the Myanmar Junta to the Bangkok summit, joining Russia now as the only two nations, so far, to give such an aggressive approval of the bloody regime. Attending the summit will be Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, in addition to Thailand and Myanmar.
BUS CRASH IN VENICE KILLS OVER 20 – A bus careened over an overpass near Venice, Italy, leaving at least 20 dead, including two infants. The crash occurred in Mestre, Italy. Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro tweeted after seeing the crash for himself, “A huge tragedy struck our community this evening. I immediately ordered the city to mourn, in memory of the numerous victims who were on the fallen bus. An apocalyptic scene, there are no words.”
THREE MORE CHINESE FIRMS IDENTIFIED AS USING UYGHUR SLAVE LABOR – The U.S. has added three more Chinese firms to a blacklist for companies that use Uyghur slave labor. The companies named are Xinjiang Zhongtai Group, Xinjiang Tianshan Wool Textile and Xinjiang Tianmian Foundation Textile. Their goods will be banned from import to the U.S.
HHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said of the decision, “We do not tolerate companies that use forced labor, that abuse the human rights of individuals in order to make a profit.” The companies all make textiles and industrial salts.

KAISER PERMANENTE STRIKE BEGINS – The 75,000 Healthcare workers of Kaiser Permanente have begun a 3-day strike after contract talks between Kaiser and the Union failed. Doctors and Nurses are not part of the strike, so urgent procedures will not be affected, but non-urgent procedures will.
SBF’S BROTHER WANTED TO BUILD “HUMAN GENETIC ENHANCEMENT LAB” – Sam Bankman-Fried’s younger brother, Gabe, allegedly wanted to buy the island of Nauru to build a lab on it that would work on “human genetic enhancement.” He also hoped to build a luxury bunker on the island to protect him from the “apocalypse.” This information comes from an FTX memo recently made public.

WORLD (Mon-Fri)
ARMENIA JOINS ORG THAT COMPELS IT TO ARREST PUTIN – After the Russians failed to protect Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenians have decided to join an international court that compels the country to arrest Vladimir Putin, who is wanted by the court for allegedly committing war crimes. The Kremlin called the decision “extremely hostile,” which might be an understatement.
ISRAEL GIVES AZERBAIJAN EYES OVER ARMENIA – Israel made it clear which side it stands in the existential struggle between Azerbaijan and Armenia when Israel Aerospace Industries announced it was selling high tech satellites to Azerbaijan for $120 million. The deal will see Azerbaijan receive two “OptSat500” Satellites from the company. They give the Azerbaijanis significant high image surveillance capacity over Armenian skies.

U.S. POLITICS (Mon-Fri)
NEW SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE REMOVES DNC LEADERSHIP FROM CHOICE OFFICES – Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer, two leaders of the Democratic Party, have been evicted from choice offices that the outgoing Republican Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, allowed them to retain even after they lost the majority.
Pelosi shrilled in response, “This eviction is a sharp departure from tradition. As Speaker, I gave former Speaker Hastert a significantly larger suite of offices for as long as he wished. Office space doesn’t matter to me, but it seems to be important to them. Now that the new Republican Leadership has settled this important matter, let’s hope they get to work on what’s truly important for the American people.”
BLACK CONSERVATIVE EVENT CRASHED BY MASTURBATING ZOOMER – A Black Conservative event held at UW Madison’s Center for the Study of Liberal Democracy was crashed by zoom callers who uttered expletives, followed up by a male exposing himself and beginning to masturbate. The zoom meeting was intended for black conservatives to interact with event participants online but was crashed by DNC-CCP operatives doing what these operatives do best, slash and burn the world any way they can.
The event featured Kali Fontanilla, founder of the Exodus Institute, Diante Johnson, president of the Black Conservative Federation, Carol Swain, and Bob Woodson, president of the Woodson Center, among others.
Carol Swain said of the vulgar attempt to sabotage the event, “The left is so well coordinated, so they decided they are not going to protest us here, or risk themselves, they get online where they can hide and they do these things, and that’s where we are as a society. Whoever hijacked this program — or tried to — they haven’t really, they think they are doing something great. They’re so ignorant.”

CHINA WATCH (Weekly)
EU SIGNALS CHINA’S SPECIAL MARKET RELATIONSHIP MAY BE OVER – Europeans are growing sick of China’s double standard of being allowed open entry into their markets while not offering the same to Europe. The EU’s trade czar, Commission VP Valdis Dombrovskis, took his list of demands to China, warning the fascist state that their relationship with the EU was at a “crossroads.” Issues are not limited to unfair market access, but also to arbitrary government action against foreign businesses and China’s constant violation of IP rights.
CHINA FIGHTS BACK AGAINST AMERICAN TECH – As the Biden administration clamps down on its CPP frenemy, limiting their access to high tech and limiting their tech companies’ access to the U.S. market, Chairman Xi has decided to do the same. China, for instance, has ramped up its efforts to block citizens from gaining access to American apps online.

PEOPLE ADVANCE (Weekly)
IS FBI USING SPLC TO JUSTIFY INVESTIGATING MOMS FOR LIBERTY? – The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project is suing the Federal Bureau of Investigations after failing to provide information they requested in a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request for documents related to the decision to investigate Moms for Liberty. The Heritage Foundation asserts the decision was made after the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) chose to put the organization on its hate map, the same one that has chapters of the KKK on it.
Mike Howell, director of the Oversight Project, said in a presser, “We know that the radical Southern Poverty Law Center has targeted the patriots at Moms for Liberty, which resulted in an unhinged mob harassment campaign. We also know the Biden administration and their weaponized law enforcement agencies work closely with the Southern Poverty Law Center.”
SCHOOL REFUSING TO STOP ILLEGAL TRANS POLICY GETS SUED BY PARENTS – The Virginia Beach School Board voted down implementing policies that align with laws recently passed by the Virginia legislature that prohibits, in essence, indoctrinating children into the trans cult of the left. The vote was 5-1. Two parents from that school district are now suing to force the school to follow the law.

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19
