House and Senate conservatives on Wednesday sounded the alarm on a potential move by congressional leadership to extend a deep state surveillance law in a defense bill.

“Reauthorization of FISA can’t be hooked to anything. The federal GOV has spied on Americans [who] decided to go to Church or you went to a school board meeting. This needs to end. Reauthorization needs to stand on its own, and have significant reform,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry said during a press conference with the House Freedom Caucus and Senate conservatives.

The conservatives held their press conference as congressional leaders are contemplating passing a temporary extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which conservatives vehemently oppose.

Other conservatives also said in no uncertain terms that Section 702 of FISA should not be included in the NDAA. Rep. Ben Cline wrote, “We know that the FBI has abused the FISA process and spied on Americans. With Section 702 of FISA up for renewal this year, a clean reauthorization or extension will only further erode Americans’ lost confidence in their Intel agencies.”

Section 702 of FISA is a law, which has been abused to spy on Americans.

Rep. Andy Biggs wrote, “The FBI has used FISA as a way to skirt Americans’ Fourth Amendment rights. Reauthorization of FISA in its current state would only cause further harm to our country. Our government should not be weaponized against Americans.”

Reauthorization of FISA in its current state would only cause further harm to our country.

New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office responded to testimony by a Deutsche Bank executive that could have torpedoed her civil fraud case against Trump.

Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she is also seeking to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York.

A Deutsche Bank executive who worked to approve at least one of Trump’s loans testified on Tuesday that it is “Atypical, but not entirely unusual” to reduce a client’s asset values and still approve a loan.

“A Deutsche Bank AG executive gave testimony that could bolster Donald Trump’s defense in his civil fraud trial, telling a New York judge that prospective clients can get loans even after reporting a net worth far higher than the lender’s own calculations.” Bloomberg reported.

“The Nicest I’ve Ever Owned” “David Williams, who worked on at least one of three loans Deutsche Bank made to Trump in the years before he was elected president, testified Tuesday that it’s”Atypical, but not entirely unusual” for the bank to cut a client’s stated asset value by 50% and approve a loan anyway, as it did with Trump,” Bloomberg reported.

Trump’s defense attorney argued that Deutsche Bank conducted its own due diligence and made their own decision to loan Trump money.

“The bank conducted its own due diligence. The bank had no problem with a $2 billion or a $3 billion difference,” Trump’s attorney Christopher Kise said.

Court documents released Monday by the Justice Department show that special counsel Jack Smith successfully obtained access to everyone who liked, retweeted or mentioned Donald Trump on Twitter, now known as X. The search warrant, issued in January by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is part of Smith’s investigation into Trump’s actions leading up to the Capitol incursion of Jan. 6, 2021.

The release of the documents came as a result of a lawsuit brought by a consortium of media organizations seeking to bring sunlight to the special counsel’s probe into Trump, the New York Post reported.

Conservative podcaster and attorney Eric Matheny responded to the warrant’s release highlighting, “If you liked or retweeted Trump’s tweets – the DOJ wants to know. Special Counsel Jack Smith’s search warrant for Trump’s Twitter account specifically seeks lists of Twitter users who engaged with Trump’s account.” “This government is out of control!” he added.

The Post reported that Twitter initially balked at handing over the data, saying it was a violation of Twitter users’ First Amendment rights and the Stored Communications Act.

The federal judge overseeing the case sided with Smith and leveled a $350,000 fine against Twitter for contempt of court.

“For what appears to be the first time in its history, Twitter Inc. has filed a motion to vacate or modify an order that it not disclose the existence of a search warrant,” Smith argued, insisting that “There is reason to believe notification to the former president, a sophisticated actor with an expansive platform, would result in a statutorily cognizable harm.” “The was granted based on facts showing that notifying the former president would result in destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, or other serious jeopardy to an investigation or delaying of trial,” the special counsel wrote in the heavily redacted filing.

In August, Smith filed a four-count indictment against Trump related to the 2021 Capitol incursion and his alleged 2020 election interference. 

While Gavin Newsom locked down K-12 public schools, forcing students into remote learning from home, two harmful television series were airing – funded with $94.2 million from California’s Film and TV Tax Credit program.

“13 Reasons Why,” seasons 1-4, produced by Paramount, received $45.8 million in reserved tax credits.

“Euphoria,” the pilot and seasons 1-3, produced by Warner Brothers, received $48.4 million in reserved tax credits.

Although “13 Reasons Why” was last selected for its tax credits while Newsom was Lt. Governor, “Euphoria” received its last tranche of credits while Newsom was governor and will air in 2024.

The state of California runs a $330 million annual tax credit program through the California Film Commission, intended to incentivize filmmakers to produce their projects in the Golden State.

Netflix, one of the biggest winners of California tax credits, previously told shareholders that it has more credits than it can use, and lobbied for credit refundability.

Since the 3.0 iteration of the program started, the company has been allocated nearly $180 million in tax credits. 

Dr. Robert Kadlec was a high ranking official in the US Government’s Preparedness and Response Department.

Robert Kadlec Background: An American physician and career officer in the United States Air Force, specializing in biological weapons.

Kadlec spent 26 years as a career officer and physician in the United States Air Force.

In April 2020, Kadlec worked with Dr. Peter Marks, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research at the Food and Drug Administration to develop OWS. Former CIA officer Dr. Michael Callahan, present in Wuhan in late 2019 or early 2020 under the guise of his Harvard appointment where he obtained detailed knowledge of CCP COVID medical management practices, and subsequently manager of the Diamond Princess outbreak response, manager of the NYC tent hospital program, and manager of initial USG COVID interventions in nursing homes, reported directly to Kadlec and actively sought to protect Kadlec.

Kadlec says Fauci was worried about protecting his own reputation, and that could be why he diverted attention away from the lab leak.

<RWM: here, in this aspect of this particular limited hangout, Kadlec presents both the problem being addressed, and an excuse for Fauci and Collins malfeasance.

Is he actually being forced by some agency or other deep state actor(s) to deploy this limited disclosure, this limited hangout? Is this actually a factual portrayal? Is Kadlec finally coming clean, after his prior work obscuring the truth in other public disclosures? In contrast to his statement that he is not seeking sympathy or forgiveness, the appearance is precisely the opposite.

The recent findings of DNA fragments in the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines has led many to question why the FDA, which is responsible for monitoring the quality and safety of the vaccines, has failed to sound the alarm.

For years, the FDA has known about the risk posed by residual DNA in vaccines.

“Residual DNA might be a risk to your final product because of oncogenic and/or infectivity potential. There are several potential mechanisms by which residual DNA could be oncogenic, including the integration and expression of encoded oncogenes or insertional mutagenesis following DNA integration.”

The authors found “The presence of billions to hundreds of billions of DNA molecules per dose in these vaccines. Using fluorometry all vaccines exceed the guidelines for residual DNA set by FDA and WHO of 10 ng/dose.”

The US Food and Drug Administration continues to insist that any residual DNA contamination in the Covid vaccines is not a problem and that it “Stands behind its findings of quality, safety, and efficacy for the mRNA vaccines.”

“While concerns have been raised previously as theoretical issues, available scientific evidence supports the conclusion that the minute amounts of residual DNA do not cause cancer, or changes to a person’s genetic code,” added the FDA. The FDA would not provide the “Available scientific evidence” to support its claim, but it’s worth noting that the vaccines’ own product labels show that genotoxicity and carcinogenicity tests were not carried out prior to their use.

Instead, after months of enquiries, the FDA sent boilerplate responses to me saying, “With over a billion doses of the mRNA vaccines administered, no safety concerns related to residual DNA have been identified.” 

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the money will “Flow through our defense industrial base, creating American jobs in more than 30 states.”

Defense Contractor Windfall Numerous analysts believe that the administration’s supplemental spending request, in addition to its record-breaking defense funding, would effectively serve as a massive transfer of wealth to the defense sector from U.S. taxpayers.

Stephen Semler, co-founder of the Security Policy Reform Institute think tank, said defense contractors stand to reap billions from the administration’s requested supplemental spending request, which would go “Mostly to just a few companies.”

The larger issue is the record-breaking defense spending undertaken by the administration and Congress, culminating with last year’s record-largest defense budget, according to Mr. Semler.

Defense Lobby Incentivizing Conflict A key concern of Mr. Semler and others is the continued incentivization of conflict, in which the defense industrial base may directly or indirectly work to prolong conflicts in an effort to maximize its economic gains.

“U.S.-backed wars, from Iraq and Afghanistan to Ukraine and Gaza, have direct ramifications for the U.S. defense sector,” said Antony Loewenstein, an independent journalist and filmmaker who was based in East Jerusalem between 2016 and 2020.

The lack of transparency by the administration, the Pentagon, and the associated defense companies could therefore encourage a more general lack of accountability by U.S. leadership for ongoing violence in the foreign wars it funds, according to William Astore, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel. 

D.C. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has denied former President Donald Trump’s motion to subpoena records from the House of Representatives’ Jan. 6 committee, arguing that his requests are like a fishing expedition.

President Trump’s initial motion from Oct. 11 requested purportedly “Missing materials” that the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 had allegedly failed to preserve and transfer to another congressional committee.

Fox News reported in August that Rep. Barry Loudermilk, chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight for the Committee on House Administration, accused the select committee of failing to provide certain communications with the Biden administration, as well as video recordings of depositions and interviews leveraged by the select committee.

“As the missing records are currently unavailable, the requested subpoenas would not be duplicative of any other records either publicly available or produced in discovery.”

Issued on Nov. 27, the order comes 10 days after Judge Chutkan denied President Trump’s request to strike certain “Inflammatory” statements related to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, from the DOJ’s indictment.

The requested subpoenas targeted the Archivist of the United States at the National Archives and Records Administration, the Jan. 6 select committee, White House and Homeland Security Department attorneys, and Mr. Loudermilk, select committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, and the Clerk of the House of Representatives.

“Accordingly, the Select Committee did not have the opportunity to properly archive that material with the rest of its records with the benefit of the Executive Branch’s guidance to ensure witness safety, our national security, and law enforcement sensitive information.”

A Deutsche Bank executive who worked to approve at least one of Trump’s loans testified on Tuesday that it is “Atypical, but not entirely unusual” to reduce a client’s asset values and still approve a loan.

Late last month far-left New York Judge Arthur Engoron blasted Trump’s lawyers and said fining Trump for ‘illegal profits’ is an ‘available remedy’ – in a fraud case with zero victims.

Engoron said fining Trump for ‘illegal profits’ is an available remedyeven though there are no victims and a Deutsche Bank executive testified that loaning Trump was a “Good credit decision.” Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, a convicted felon, testified last month.

“So Mr. Trump never asked you to inflate the numbers on his financial statement,” Trump attorney Cliff Robert asked Michael Cohen, according to CNN. “Correct,” Michael Cohen said.

Trump’s lawyer Cliff Robert immediately asked the judge to dismiss the trial because Cohen, the key witness, just told the court that Trump never instructed him to inflate his assets. 

Most people now seem to realize that plastic containers for food and beverages are not exactly the best material to use due to leaching, but what about recycled plastic containers? It turns out that those are even worse.

Recycled plastics, due to the various lives they lived before being recycled, tend to be contaminated with even more deadly chemicals than virgin plastics.

Among the toxins found in recycled plastics are chemical pesticides, pharmaceutical residues and various industrial chemicals.

This is exactly what millions of people unknowingly do every single day when they drink from recycled plastic bottles or eat from recycled plastic containers.

Virgin plastic is bad enough as it is, but recycled plastic is even worse.

“We need a fundamentally different approach that turns the tap off on new plastic production,” argues Dr. Andrew Forrest, chairman of the Minderoo Foundation, about how a pivot away from plastic is desperately needed to protect public health and limit public exposure to the nasty toxins found in plastics – especially recycled plastics.
