Paul Collier

California, the North Korea of America (with Illinois now racing to take that title from the far-left-controlled state), is now seeking to criminalize opposition to the pro-pedophilic policies of school boards that have fallen to the dark ideology of fear, hate, and fake hope that the DNC has embraced for the sake of the handful of billionaires that control the party from top to bottom.

Senate Bill 596 was introduced by the anti-Americanist Democratic Senator Anthony Portantino, who, in typical Orwellian fashion named the bill “School Employees: Protection” Act, attempting to make evil banal as the left is wont to do. The real title of the act is “Destroy Parental Rights by Protecting Child Grooming Revolutionary Leftist School Boards That Defy the Will of the People and the Constitution they had to swear to uphold to take office in the First Place.”

It’s a long title, to be sure, but it is reflective of the true spirit and intent behind the totalitarian bill, and should merit the immediate removal of the Senator from public office, something that would happen if the republic were ruled by Americans and not foreigners by choice that the Democratic Party represents.

Illinois Now North Korea, Kangaroo Judging Trump, Ukraine Corruption, Racist Wisconsin, January 6 Lies Exposed

TOP STORIES

PRITZKER SIGNS LAW TO PUT GUN MANUFACTURERS OUT OF BUSINESS – The seditionist party of the DNC is turning Illinois into North Korea as the billionaire governor and anti-American revolutionary governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) signs another anti-American bill, this one opening gun manufacturers to civil liability if anyone uses their guns in a bad way that leads to injury or death of others. He was surrounded by the Bloomberg-funded fascistic group “Moms Demand Action,” an organization attempting to create a police state by disarming citizens and using the deaths of children as its human shield. GO DEEPER

KANGAROO COURT JUDGE SEEKS TO MUZZLE TRUMP DURING ELECTION CAMPAIGN – The true nature of the lawfare assault on the former President, Donald Trump, is seen in how Obama-appointed seditionist judge Tanya S. Chutkan is handling one of the lawfare cases against him. Judge Chutkan has granted the prosecutor most of the powers he sought, claiming the fact Trump is running a campaign bears no relevance to her consideration on what he can say or not say about the case…

One warning she gave was chilling, and one should rightly assume she means to use it. She said she will use any means necessary to “preserve the integrity of the legal process,” i.e. to assure Trump is not able to even be considered for re-election. The gag rule is intended to be violated, no matter what.  GO DEEPER

UKRAINE’S REGIONAL MILITARY COMMISARS ALL SACKED – In a sure sign of internal turmoil that rivals that of the turmoil in Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the sacking of ALL military commissars. He said of the sacking, “This system should be run by people who know exactly what war is and why cynicism and bribery at a time of war is high treason.”

WISCONSIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLAIMS RACIST PRINCIPLE’S RACIST POLICIES WERE ROGUE – A Wisconsin Elementary School whose racist program targeting whites for discrimination was exposed is now claiming the principle was the one who implemented the anti-American, racist program all on his own. An attorney for the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, Dan Lennington, is disputing the claim, saying he has evidence the program came from the top. GO DEEPER

FORMER CAPITOL HILL POLICE CHIEF PREPARED TO DESTROY DNC NARRATIVE ON JANUARY 6 PROTESTS – … The DNC-led January 6 committee omitted and possibly destroyed evidence that destroyed their narrative and refused to talk to the one man who knew more than anything what happened on that day, the former Capital Police Chief Steven Sund, who was prepared to testify that the Capitol Police were not provided with intelligence the Federal government had (the parts that went rogue in open opposition to the then-sitting-President), and seemed to orchestrate the appearance of an insurrection for political ends.

MARINES BEGIN PROTECTING COMMERCIAL SHIPS IN PERSIAN GULF – The first troops are coming online to begin deployment in an operation ordered by the Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee to place marines on commercial vessels going through the Persian Gulf. Iran has been detaining ships when U.S. warships were not able to chase them off. The first 100 marines from the 26^th Marine Expeditionary Unit are expecting to begin service this week.

An official familiar with the operation told USNI news, “We have more than 100 Marines on the ground in Bahrain. Many of them have already gone through and completed the training. They’ve informed me that they make up several teams and they are ready to go, if directed to do so.”

MAUI FIRE DEATH TOLL NOW AT 93 AS SEARCH FOR MISSING CONTINUES – The death toll from the deadliest U.S. wildfire in history, the Maui Wildfire, has officially reached 93, but authorities believe that number is expected to rise as they have only covered, so far, 3 percent of the area where many missing are expected to be found.

ISRAELI FORCES STRETCHED THIN AS CITIZENS REFUSE TO SERVE – Attempts by the Netanyahu-led government to “reform” their highest court are still being challenged as the court sits on deciding whether to up the ante by attempting to strike down a law intended to limit its powers. More harmful to his plans, however, are refusals by Israelis to serve in their military which appears to have reached a critical fail point in the military. So far, more than 10,000 reservists have failed to show up for duty.

NIGER JUNTA APPEARS TO SOLIDIFY AS BLUFF CALLED AND DEFIED – The Niger Junta had a deadline from a coalition of West African nations called ECOWAS. They pledged that if the junta did not restore the removed Prime Minister, they would use military force to restore him. The deadline passed and now the ECOWAS is having meetings about opening up dialogue with the junta, who say they’re “open” to diplomatic talks.

HHS HOPES TO STOP STATE GOVERNMENTS FROM INVESTIGATING ILLEGAL ABORTIONS – The Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has proposed a rule change on the Standards for Privacy for Individually Identifiable Health Information that would protect all “medical” information for “reproductive healthcare” (dog whistle for abortion) from being used for a number of reasons including and explicitly for criminal investigative reasons.

From the summary:

The proposal would modify existing standards by prohibiting uses and disclosures of PHI for criminal, civil, or administrative investigations or proceedings against individuals, covered entities or their business associates (collectively, “regulated entities”)…

The far-left activist tilts the balance of power to the DNC, meaning the EEOC is soon to become another lawfare weapon for the DNC to kill dissent to the party’s platform.

GLOBAL CEOS WANT TO MIX SOCIAL ENGINEERING WITH PROFIT – A Bain & Company survey of almost 300 global CEOs found 85 percent of CEOs believe “social issues” should be “urgent” concerns for their companies.

Sara Minelli, an associate partner at Bain & Company Middle East, commented about the survey, “Companies that are at the forefront of addressing social issues linked to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and that have socially responsible supply chain practices have discovered ways to connect their social initiatives directly to their business strategies. It goes beyond implementing a risk mitigation approach but rather one that creates new possibilities and adds value to all stakeholders involved. In fact, these companies see the direct correlation between making a positive impact and achieving success.”

CULTURE WATCH

SENIOR NATIONAL GUARD GENERAL FIRED FOR BEING TOXIC MALE? – Major General Eric Little was fired from his leadership position in the National Guard for creating “a toxic cacophony of misconduct.” The details amount to him apparently “allegedly” acting like a frat boy. Perhaps there is substance to these accusations, but, in current year, this writer is much more inclined to believe Little wasn’t playing nice with the continued wokification of the military, so they removed him to a less impactful place.

Cynthia Smith, an Army spokeswoman, released this statement: “The United States Army Inspector General Agency has concluded its investigations into allegations against Maj. Gen. Eric K. Little with several substantiated findings. Maj. Gen. Little received appropriate administrative action and is now currently serving as the Special Assistant to the Chief, National Guard Bureau. We consider this matter closed.”

PRINCIPLE ALLEGEDLY KILLS SELF AFTER DEI TRAINER TURNS WHOLE STAFF AGAINST HIM – A DEI Trainer named Kike-Ojo-Thompson, who has regularly told white people that the “bad ones” will be “show the door” when the reckoning comes, was hired by a Toronto school district to teach staff to hate white people. When the principle, Richard Bilkszto, 60, spoke out against her hateful rhetoric she organized an ambush on the principle, publicly berating him and getting his staff to join in to the hateful assault. Bilkszto later committed suicide after the encounter.

COALITION OF WESTERN AFRICAN NATIONS COMMIT TO FORMING FORCE TO RESTORE NIGER’S PM – A coalition of Western African Nations called the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has met and confirmed plans to activate troops to confront the junta of Niger that overthrew their duly elected Prime Minister. The full details of the military intervention force were not given, but, tellingly, Nigeria, a member of the coalition, reversed its course, stating it is now committed to sending troops to deal with the Niger crisis.

Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tunubu, who is the current head of the coalition, said in the meeting “It is crucial that we prioritize diplomatic negotiations and dialogue as the bedrock of our approach.” He also added that leaders must act with a “sense of urgency.” The mixed signals from the coalition make it uncertain that troops will be deployed and then used to invade the junta-led Nigeran state.

ED.NOTE: See more special links on Niger News at the end of the World section of this report.

FBI EFFORTS TO SPY ON CATHOLICS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT – House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) is claiming the original claim by the FBI that preparing to spy on Catholics was an isolated incident is false. In fact, Jordan claims, the FBI  was coordinating with multiple offices, all of which seemed to be on board to spy on Americans for their religious beliefs alone.

The original memo had redacted information that Jordan now has access to that refutes that initial claim. Jordan, along with Congressman Mike Johnson (R-LA) sent a letter to the DNC operative Christopher Wray demanding to know why such key information was withheld from the House committee. They didn’t accuse them of lying under oath, but that is what appears to have happened.

They wrote, “[T]he newly produced version of the document explicitly states that FBI Richmond ‘coordinated with’ FBI Portland in preparing the assessment. Thus, it appears that both FBI Portland and FBI Los Angeles field offices were involved in or contributed to the creation of the FBI’s assessment of traditional Catholics as potential domestic terrorists.”

ELON MUSK, SAVIOR OF FREE SPEECH PARTNERS WITH COMPANY THAT NUKES CONSERVATIVE FREE SPEECH – Elon Musk has signed an exclusive deal with Integral Ad Science to help it track “misinformation” on its site. The company “helps” advertisers identify which sites should be sponsored and which should be not, with conservatives being blacklisted for ad rejection. The move leaves little doubt that Musk is more like controlled opposition than an actual free speech defender. The government-funded private group has a definition of “misinformation” that wholly aligns with the DNC-CCP’s version of “truth,” meaning Conservative outlets have been targeted for reduction in ad revenue.

AMERICAN TECH WANTS TO SAVE TIKTOK – If you don’t understand that most major American corporations, especially those in Silicon Valley, are against us and not for us, then all you have to do is observe the efforts they are making to lobby the government to halt its trend towards banning TikTok. Two pro-CCP anti-American tech coalitions are attempting to reverse Montana’s statewide ban of TikTok from government-owned devices. The tech groups claim, “If allowed to take effect, the ban will usher in a Balkanized internet where information available to users becomes regionally divided based on local politicians’ whims or preferences… the internet, as a whole, will become fragmented and its value to humanity diminished”.

China does not allow foreign nations the same access to its youth through social media that these treasonous organizations wish to allow them to have to our youth.

ECUADOR IN STATE OF EMERGENCY AFTER OPPOSITION CANDIDATE ASSASSINATED – 59-Year-Old Presidential Candidate Fernando Villavicencio was assassinated Wednesday, August 9 at a campaign event in the capital of Ecuador, Quito. Since the assassination, the current President, Guillermo Lasso, declared a 60-day state of emergency. Six suspects have been arrested, all who were identified as being Columbian nationals and members of a drug cartel. The candidate was pledging to clamp down on the drug trade and drug cartel power before he was assassinated. The suspected police shooter was injured during a shoot-out that followed the assassination. He later died.

BIDEN AIMS TO REIN IN CCP FRENEMY BY HALF-BLOCKING THEM FROM TECH – The Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee, aka President Biden, issued an executive order to limit the technologies American firms can share with the Chinese Communist Party. The measures have a limited scope and appears, to this writer, to be aimed at 1) feigning real opposition to the CCP, and 2) limiting China’s power to compete against the DNC when their common enemy, the American republic, is eliminated.

DEMOCRAT JOE MANCHIN CONSIDERS GOING INDEPENDENT – As Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) faces a tough re-election campaign in a state that leans conservative, he is considering changing his party affiliation to independent, though he doesn’t seem to express any interest in not caucusing with the Democratic Party in the Senate. Were he to do so, the balance of power would shift to the Republicans. The move is expected to be more about alienating himself from the hated Democratic Patty cosmetically, to win re-election, but not substantively.

TRUMP TWITTER WARRANT ISSUED IN SECRET BECAUSE TRUMP WAS DEEMED A “FLIGHT RISK” – Jack Smith, the DNC-CCP hitman looking to eliminate opposition to the party he serves over the nation, is using every dirty trick possible to invade the private rights of former President Donald Trump, setting a dangerous precedence that will directly affect every citizens’ rights when the law comes for them. Smith, in collusion with the district court, used the implausible claim that Trump was a flight risk if he found out about the warrant to investigate his Twitter account. U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, made the insane ruling.

Jonathan Turley, a Georgetown Law Professor, observed, “…[T]he two most surprising, and concerning, elements were that the subpoena was secret and Howell justified it, in part, on Trump being a flight risk. Neither seems warranted in this case even assuming that the subpoena was in other respects warranted.”

MIT HELPED THE CCP SPY ON, PERSECUTE UYGHURS – It appears the now completely captured far left MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) helped the Chinese Communist Party develop technologies that were developed to help the Chinese spy on the persecuted ethnic group, the Uyghurs. The Uyghurs were the prominent ethnic group in the far western province of Xinjiang, a key territory in keeping the Belt and Road routes connected to China proper.

MIT Graduate and Chinese citizen Xiao-ou Tang started a company called SenseTime, a facial recognition software company, that is being used to track, monitor, arrest, harvest the organs of, and kill Uyghurs. That technology was developed while he was a student at MIT in part thanks to contributions by the CCP to the treasonous institution.

GOP SENATORS WARN YELLEN NOT TO ALLOW CCP COMPANY TO BUY FORBES – Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Mark Rubio (R-FL) have sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warning her not to approve of a sale of the media company Forbes to Sun Group, a CCP-dependent company. The Senators told Yellen, “The implications of allowing entities close to the Russian government and the CCP to own and operate an influential American media outlet are grave. Forbes reportedly holds a significant market share among younger Americans, with tens of millions of monthly users.”
