TOP STORIES
20 PERCENT OF 2020 MAIL-IN VOTERS ADMIT TO COMMITTING VOTER FRAUD – Mass mailer elections are no elections at all. In the 2020 Mass Mailer Election, more than 40 percent of the votes cast were through the mail. A new study reveals 20 percent of those who cast mail-in votes in 2020 admit to committing election fraud, meaning, by their own admission, up to 12 million votes were cast fraudulently.
This fact was revealed in a Heartland/Rasmussen poll that showed 17 percent of Mail-in voters voted in a state they no longer lived in, while 21 percent said they filled out a ballot for a friend or family member “with or without his or her permission.” GO DEEPER
HOUSE SPEAKER USES TRICK TO PROTECT FISA’S SECTION 702 RENEWAL FROM REFORM – The new House Speaker, Mike Johnson (R-AR), the same as the last House Speaker, is doing what he can to pass the fundamentally unconstitutional renewal of Section 702 of the FISA Act, the section that allows for a star chamber to convict without trial and spy on Americans without a search warrant.
The plan is to present two competing bills to the House and approve the one that gets the most votes in a tactic called “The Queen of the Hill.” Neither bill ends the unconstitutional practice. If anything, both bills end up expanding powers, under Johnson’s watch. The strategy protects the renewal from any amendments watering it down. GO DEEPER
CHINA CAN KILL U.S. CARRIERS NOW – China now possesses the technological capacity to destroy U.S. Aircraft Carriers, the center of America’s worldwide power. They can do so with two missiles, the DF-21D and the DF-26B.
The new reality is this, without nuclear missiles, the U.S. Navy is now vulnerable to being overrun by China, and yet American corporatists and the DNC-CCP continue to support the CCP in word and deed even in the face of such an existential threat to America’s security and sovereignty that China now represents. Sedition, thy name is corporate America and the DNC (and the GOP that protects the DNC from any meaningful opposition).
IS THE MYANMAR JUNTA ON ITS LAST LEGS? – Efforts by the Myanmar Junta to hold on to power after illegally seizing control of the country in response to a 2021 election that didn’t go their way appear to be slipping away as the coalition of ethnic groups rejecting the Junta’s rule take over more and more territory as the junta runs out of men to even serve in their military.
A recent message from one of the country’s resistance leaders, Duwa Lashi La, reveals (in a Zoom interview with VOA) the groups are in talks with the Chinese, who might see the writing on the wall and want to be on friendly terms with the new government. He also revealed new territory taken and predicted the days of the Junta are soon to come to an end.
NORWEGIAN TANKER ‘STRINDA’ STRUCK BY HOUTHI MISSILE – The Japanese-owned, Norwegian-flagged general oil and chemical tanker MK STRINDA was struck by a missile fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen, while transiting the Bab el Mandeb strait, late on the 11th. the ship reported damage and a fire, but reported no casualties.
The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Mason responded to the tanker’s distress call, and is rendering assistance as of press time. The Mason, along with other US Navy warships, has engaged Houthi missiles and drones fire at Israel. GO DEEPER

FBI SAYS 385 STILL MISSING FROM MAUI FIRE – Conflicting data has continued to pour in regarding the amount of “confirmed” dead and “missing,” with the latest FBI report revealing 385 people are still listed as missing after the deadly fire on Maui that destroyed the town of Lahaina on August 8, 2023.
CANADIAN MAN MAILS SUICIDAL PEOPLE POISON TO KILL THEMSELVES WITH – Kenneth Law, of Ontario, Canada, was charged with 14 counts of second-degree murder for doing something that’s perfectly legal in Canada, “assisting” suicidal people in killing themselves.
Apparently, it’s only legal to “help” people kill themselves when it’s a state-approved murderer doing the work. Law looked for people online who seemed to be suicidal and then mailed them poison to end their lives. At least 14 people followed through, using his mailed poison to do so.

WILL CATALAN SEPARATISTS GET THE AMNESTY PROMISED BY SPAIN’S FAR LEFT? – The Spanish PM, Pedro Sanchez, made a deal with the Catalans to hold on to power, despite losing to the conservatives challenging his corrupt regime. That deal will now be put to the test as Spanish lawmakers debate a new bill that will give the Catalan separatists amnesty from criminal prosecution and conviction following the 2017 cessation referendum. Failure to pass the bill could result in the PM’s new government being dissolved.
POLAND’S NEW EU-FIRST PM VOWS TO SUPPORT UKRAINE, SURRENDER SOVEREIGNTY TO EU – It didn’t take the globalists’ puppet and new Polish PM, Donald Tusk, long to make it clear that Poland is no longer a sovereign nation but is now a mere vassal of the EU, declaring in his inaugural speech to “end the evil” that is Polish sovereignty in favor of becoming a mere puppet of EU desires, including reversing the policies of the former Polish-first government by declaring its undying support to Ukraine, no friend of the Poles.

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)
COMER TO GET ACCESS TO MORE BIDEN EMAILS – The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has informed House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) that he will be given 1,799 more Biden emails from his time as Vice President. The documents will include 62,610 total pages of records, including the emails.
They are all related to Hunter Biden’s involvement with the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma Holdings, who appears to have “hired” Hunter to assure “the big guy” would use his power to protect Burisma from American scrutiny, at the cost of American security and certainly against America’s best interests.
DEMOCRATS TO USE NEW OBSCURE SCOTUS RULING TO KEEP TRUMP FROM BEING RE-ELECTED – After failing to use the 14th Amendment to prevent the American people from being able to vote for Donald J Trump, who leads Biden in most national polls and in most battleground states, the party of sedition, the party of hate, fear, and fake hope, the DNC-CCP is hoping an obscure 1968 SCUTOS ruling will give their fellow seditious-minded judges the sophistic “justification” to unconstitutionally prevent Donald Trump from being on Presidential statewide ballots.

CHINA (WEEKLY)
ITALY SAYS GOODBYE TO BELT AND ROAD – China lost a major foothold in Europe when Italy did an about-face and declared it was backing out of the Chinese Belt and Road deal, saying the deal brought nothing good to the Italian people. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni had already committed to withdrawing from the deal, but the CCP kept lobbying to hold on to their Italian foothold. Now, that dream is over as Italy has now formally withdrawn from the agreement.
IMPERIALIST CHINA CREATING SETTLEMENTS IN BHUTAN TERRITORY TO EXPAND THEIR OWN – As China feigns outrage at Israel over its alleged imperialist conquest of Gaza, the fascist state invades another country, Bhutan, by building settlements in remote parts of the country, converting Bhutan territory over to China without firing a shot.
“This is a case of China making a claim to an area, based on earlier grazing practices by herders, that is very recent and without precedent – and then unilaterally seizing the territory and settling it with villages, military barracks and outposts,” according to Professor Robert Barnett, an expert on Tibetan history at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London.

ILLINOIS BACKS OFF PLANS TO CUT OFF PREGNANCY CENTERS AFTER FEDERAL JUDGE EMBARRASSES THEM – After a federal judge called an Illinois law defending murdering unborn children by shutting down pregnancy centers “stupid and unconstitutional” the Prizer regime is backing away from their murderous plans. The state will halt all prosecutions of pro-life centers and pay the legal fees of anyone that was unjustly prosecuted.
“We are elated that a permanent injunction has been issued against Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and SB 1909, which ensures the unconstitutional law will never go into effect,” said NIFLA president Thomas Glessner. “This is a huge win not only for NIFLA and our wonderful attorneys at the Thomas More Society but especially for pregnancy centers in the state, who serve thousands of women in Illinois who are facing unplanned pregnancies – all at no cost.”
MEXICAN FAMERS END CARTEL THREAT THEMSELVES – A village in Mexico fought for their lives to free themselves from the tyranny of the La Familia Michoacana cartel, leaving 4 of their own dead, but 10 cartel members also dead, including the cartel leader, “Comandante Payaso.” The Mexican people don’t have the same right to bear arms we Americans do so they had to use machetes to end the threat to their community their own government could not protect them against.

‘“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
