Is Biden Preparing to Move US Embassy in Israel Back to Tel Aviv?

Parker Davis November 9, 2021

President Donald Trump’s decision to move the US Embassy out of Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was a signal that America recognized the whole of Jerusalem to be part of the state of Israel. While the Biden administration has not shifted the embassy out of Jerusalem just yet, it may be preparing the way by reopening the consulate in East Jerusalem, the Palestinian-held part of Jerusalem. Trump shut the consulate down and merged it with the embassy.

President Biden’s announced intention to reopen a U.S. consulate in East Jerusalem for outreach to Palestinians looms as a significant point of contention between the administration and Israel. A look at the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963, is a logical starting point to analyze the problem. The Convention provides in Article 2.1:

The establishment of consular relations between States takes place by mutual consent.

Article 4.1 provides:

A consular post may be established in the territory of the receiving State only with that State’s consent.

Belarus Appears to Be Invading Poland with Migrants

Mark Clouse November 9, 2021

The tension on the Polish-Belarus border has hardly abated, as Poland has added yet another claim that Belarus is attempting to destabilize Poland by forcing floods of people from hostile lands with hostile cultures to Poland’s mostly Catholic-dominated and Polish-ethnic culture.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Hundreds if not thousands of migrants sought to storm the border from Belarus into Poland on Monday, cutting razor wire defenses and using branches to try and climb over fences. The siege escalated a crisis along the European Union’s eastern border that has been simmering for months.

Poland’s interior ministry said it had rebuffed the illegal invasion and claimed the situation was under control. It posted a video showing armed Polish officer using a chemical spray through a fence at men who were trying to cut the razor wire. Some migrants threw objects at police.

Video footage from Belarusian media showed people using long wooden poles or branches to try to get past a border fence as police helicopters circled overhead.

“A coordinated attempt to massively enter the territory of the Republic of Poland by migrants used by Belarus for the hybrid attacks against Poland has just begun,” a spokesman for Poland’s security forces, Stanislaw Zaryn, said in a statement.

BEIRUT, Nov. 8 — The 20th Chinese peacekeeping medical contingent to Lebanon recently donated medical supplies worth about 22 thousand dollars to two villages in Marjayoun Town of southern Lebanon. The donation included 57 varieties of essential medicines like antibacterial, antiviral, and traumatic injury medicine, as well as 6 varieties of medical consumables.

The villages expressed gratitude to the contingent, believing that this will improve their ability of providing necessary medical services to local residents.

Since their deployment to Lebanon in mid-August this year, the 20th Chinese peacekeeping contingent has performed rabies vaccinations, and provided free clinical treatment to 47 local persons.

Their main task there is to provide medical health service support, which includes medical care, hygiene and disease control, escort and evacuation of the sick and wounded, to more than 4,000 peacekeepers and employees under the Sector East of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). In addition, it also carries out humanitarian relief operations for local people and refugees.

China has started to send peacekeeping troops to Lebanon since 2006. Currently, the Chinese peacekeeping force deployed in southern Lebanon includes a medical contingent, an engineering contingent and a multi-role engineering unit, with a total of over 400 service members.

Biden Losing the Non-Partisan Voter, Independents, in Droves

Paul Collier November 9, 2021

The most popular President in American history and the victor of America’s first “pioneering” mass mailer election, Joe Biden, is somehow losing people in droves, across all political denominational lines, but ESPECIALLY among the non-partisan voters, the people who still primarily vote with their wallets, the mostly unaffected by the bounty of the exploits, either to the good or the bad.

These people, who just want to do people enjoy life stuff, are leaving Biden faster than Biden left Afghanistan, and that’s pretty hardcore fast. Just ask the Taliban, who LOVED the rapid retreat.

Among this salt of the earth group, Biden gets a 66 percent disapproval rating, a massive thumbs down from the vast majority of Americans not pinning their eyeballs to partisan agit prop, be it the left or the right (which is, mostly, at the highest levels, either feckless but content losers, or designated losers in the fake politics game).

This group, the people not glued to Fox News or MSNBC, not waiting for the next Tim Pool Lukewarn Revolutionary livestream or the next Young Turks Race Baiting Meltdown, this group has seen enough in the daily living they can’t avoid to come to the conclusion Joe sucks at being President, for what that’s worth, and it might be worth a lot come 2022, if the DNC pork barrel fails to deliver the fat to this same group (and I am betting my next three lunches that it won’t).

It does not bode well for Joe, but then again, he is the sometimes looking at you like he’s actuallly there face of the DNC, the machine that controles the fundamental means of social, civic, and cultural production, making all our dreams come true, right after they defined what they are for us, without our consent, or even input. The experts know best.

Only the vast majority of Americans are starting to see what some of us knew long ago, the experts are mostly reflections of the will of the most powerful in the land they occupy.

A crushing two-thirds of independents disapprove of Joe Biden’s job performance

Excerpt:

President Joe Biden’s approval rating has sunk to a new low as Republicans appear to be in a strong position to retake one or both houses of Congress in next year’s midterm elections.

According to a USA Today/Suffolk University Poll taken last Wednesday through Friday, Biden’s approval rating has fallen to just 38%, with his disapproval rating climbing to 59%, the worst numbers recorded by this poll for the president since he took office. It’s even worse than the 41% approve (55% disapprove) rating the poll recorded in August during Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Biden took the hardest hit with independent voters, of whom an overwhelming 67% disapproved of his job performance.

More than two-thirds of Americans say the country is on the wrong track, and 45% of respondents said Biden is doing a worse job as president than they expected.

One in five survey respondents said the most important thing for Biden to do over the next year would be to resign, retire, or quit….

She’s Not Epstein’s Child Wrangler, Ghislaine Declares

Ivo Fysic November 9, 2021

Not only is Ghislaine Maxwell declaring that she’s no child wrangler for Epstein, or, to put it in another term, groomer for Epstein, but the notion of her being a groomer of Epstein is just flat out scientifically not even possible. In a semantic game that’s sure to entertain no one, and leave Ghislaine with little more than a self-inflicted chuckle at best, her defense team is arguing that child wrangling doesn’t scientifically exist because the terminology used to describe child wrangling, grooming-by-proxy, doesn’t exist.

This is sophistry at its finest for the worst of reasons, defending a child wrangler of a billionaire with ties to many of the most powerful and famous that you and I get lectured to every day about our racisms and bigotries. Ghislaine prepared the mind of a child to be ‘gently’ initiated into a world of total debased human selfish indulgence that any a human could ever take, to violate the body-mind space of a child and force it into a sexual coercive framing of reality is to inflict on a soul a lifetime of torture so long as that soul lives, a torture a soul can overcome, but never fully be free from.

This is what happens to a mind that accepts the premise that life is not sacred in and of itself, that life is determined by material alone, that those who hold the gold make the rules, endstop.

Ghislaine Maxwell to challenge claims she groomed underage girls for Epstein

Excerpt:

Ghislaine Maxwell plans at her criminal trial to challenge prosecution claims that she “groomed” underage girls for the late financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse, and to offer testimony that her accusers might have faulty memories.

According to a letter from Maxwell’s lawyers made public on Monday, a former president of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law would testify that Maxwell’s alleged effort to win her accusers’ trust did not automatically reflect an intent they be abused.

The letter said the former president, Park Dietz, would testify that the suggestion Maxwell committed “grooming-by-proxy” – by recruiting underage girls to give sexualized massages to Epstein – had no support in the scientific community.

It also said Elizabeth Loftus, a psychologist specializing in memory issues, would testify about “false memories” of sexual abuses that people could describe on the witness stand with “confidence, detail, and emotion,” without deliberately lying.

A spokesperson for US Attorney Damian Williams in Manhattan, whose office is prosecuting Maxwell, declined to comment.

Did Iran Try to Murder Israelies and Jews in Africa?

Mark Clouse November 9, 2021

The Israeli version of the CIA with the better reputation, Mossad, is claiming that it foiled the attempt of a team of Iranian-backed terrorists to kill Israelis and Jews in Africa, specifically in Senegal, Tanzania, and Ghana.

The Iranians are calling the accusations baseless.

The arrests of five individuals happened this past Sunday, November 7th. The individuals were allegedly recruited by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and had African passports. They were on their way to carry out the plan when Mossad arrested them.

The Israeli Mossad spy agency foiled an attack against Israeli tourists and businesspeople on behalf of Iran, resulting in the arrest of several people in African nations, an Israeli TV network reported Sunday.

According to Israel’s Channel 12, five people with African passports were by recruited by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps elite Quds Force to target visiting Israelis in Senegal, Tanzania, and Ghana.

The news comes a month after Israel accused Iran of plotting attacks against Israeli businessmen in Cyprus, as Breitbart News reported.

The five people who were arrested underwent special training in Lebanon before being sent back to Africa to attack Jewish and Israeli targets under the guise of being religious students, the report said.

Israeli tourists on safari in Tanzania were chief among the targets, the channel said.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — The first police officer on the scene of Ahmaud Arbery’s killing told jurors Monday that one of three white men charged with murder “cornered” Arbery before the Black 25-year-old was fatally shot.

Ricky Minshew, a former Glynn County Police Officer, said he spoke with William “Roddie” Bryan when he arrived on the scene, who told Minshew he “blocked,” “cornered” and “cut off” Arbery five times.

“Should I have been chasing him? I don’t know,” Bryan said, according to a transcript of Minshew’s body camera video read in court.

Monday marked the beginning of the first full week of testimony in the trial of Bryan and father and son Greg and Travis McMichael. In the morning, jurors heard from an investigator who documented the crime scene and took a series of graphic photos.

Attorneys for the state and Greg and Travis McMichael gave their opening statements Friday, and prosecutors called the first witness. An attorney for Bryan was expected to give his opening…

Chinese Silk Could Save Hot Summers

Parker Davis November 9, 2021

The Chinese are developing a new type of fabric that can make humans feel 15 percent cooler when they put the clothes on in hot conditions. The technology is sure to be duplicable by others, and, hopefully, will be duplicated by those committed to open source technology that gives all of humanity the opportunity to develop and exploit this type of technology.

With China working hard to colonize Africa, one can see how a product such as this could be a billions of yuan winfall for the CCP-controlled corporations that produce such products. It would be better for Africa to develop their own engineered silk products and produce them in-continent than to pin such a dependence to such a totalitarian and supremacist state as China.

Fabric technology: Modified silk keeps skin 12°C cooler than cotton

Excerpt:

Climate change is making summer days even hotter for some – but new clothing might helps us keep cool

A fabric made of engineered silk keeps skin about 12.5°C cooler than cotton clothing and provides relief from hot weather.

Approximately 15 per cent of global electricity goes towards keeping us cool. To reduce this energy demand, scientists have been searching for passive ways of cooling us that don’t require electricity.

Jia Zhu at Nanjing University in China and Shanhui Fan at Stanford University and their colleagues were inspired by silk, which feels cool against the skin because it reflects most of the sunlight that strikes it – mainly the infrared and visible wavelengths – and so readily radiates heat.

They were able to engineer silk to block even more sunlight – about 95 per cent – by embedding the fibres with aluminium oxide nanoparticles that reflect the ultraviolet wavelengths of sunlight.

MIT Programmed AI Machines Outperform Humans in Teamplay Contest

Artificial Intelligence is capable of doing more in cooperation with other Artificial intelligence than humans are, to the surprise of no one that understands human nature. MIT wanted to make sure they got that obvious fact documented, so they had human Hanabi players battle with AI players, and, yep, the AI players were better teammates than the human ones were, but the humans left the game as individuals and the AI AI players left the game with no sentience whatsoever.
