CAUGHT: Democrats Operating 51 Websites Pushing Left-Wing FAKE NEWS Stories in Toss-Up States

A new report from Axios details 51 fake news websites that promote liberal political causes 

All of the websites, which have popped up in the past 12 months, are based in what are considered to be swing states 

Some of the publications are the Milwaukee Metro Times, the Tri-City Record and the Mecklenburg Herald

v

A liberal political media operation being run out of Washington, D.C., and Florida is pushing left-wing stories in 51 different fake news outlets in order to influence the outcome of the November midterm elections, it is claimed. 

The allegations came in a shocking new investigation from Axios that was published on Thursday. 

The report alleges that in the past 12 months, multiple new ‘news’ website have appeared across the country, all run by a company named Local Report Inc.

They do report a wide variety of stories – but sprinkled throughout are news items pushing Democrat lawmakers and policies.  

Online records show that the Local Report was founded in Tallahassee, Fla.

Content is provided for the sites from writers who are employed by another left-wing group, the American Independent. The Independent was founded by David Brock, known for other liberal endeavors such as Fox News watchdog, Media Matters for America. 

Other employees at the American Independent include Matt Fuehrmeyer, who previously worked for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and for disgraced Sen. Al Franken, according to his LinkedIn page.

Franken’s son is also employed by the organization, as is former Sen. Harry Reid’s son, the Daily Caller reported.

Prior to working as the executive editor of the American Independent, Jessica McCreight was part of President Barack Obama’s communications team, according to her LinkedIn page. 

When asked about the connection between the American Independent and the Local Report, McCreight told Axios that the pair had a ‘co-publishing agreement,’ adding that their content is ‘open source’ and they were a ‘partner’ of Local Report’s.

She also said: ‘It’s been widely reported that where local news outlets shut down, dis- and misinformation grows.

‘To combat this challenge, the American Independent has expanded to bring readers local, fact-based news and information on topics and issues that impact their communities,’ McCreight continued.

The Axios report says that the outlets are all based in states that are generally considered swing states in the November elections including Wisconsin, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Nevada, New Hampshire, Michigan, Georgia, Colorado and Arizona. 

Among the titles that are packed with content from American Independent staff are the Milwaukee Metro Times, the Tri-City Record, the Bucks County Standard, the Mecklenburg Herald and the Northern Clark County Herald.

The investigation said the websites come equipped with a certain amount of aggregated local news and sports reporting, accompanied by political commentary and biased news. 

At the time of writing, the lead story on the Northern Clark County Herald on Nevada’s website is: ‘Lombardo’s Absences Raise Questions on Readiness for Governor Role,’ a jab at Republican gubernatorial candidate Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo.

While the Milwaukee Metro Times leads with an NFL preview and a report on upcoming chilly weather in Wisconsin. 

A user has to scroll down to find an article accusing the Dairy State’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels of accepting donations from anti-LGBTQ organizations. 

The biased articles make no mention of attempts to reach the state’s Republican Party or the gubernatorial campaigns of those in question for comment.

Funding for Media Matters for America comes from Democratic super PAC American Bridge.  

The Daily Caller goes on to mention that the state Democratic parties in Georgia and Michigan have promoted articles from the Local Report. 

Speaking about the scandal to the website, spokesman for the Republican National Committee, Nathan Brand said: ‘Democrats’ ideas are so unpopular and so out-of-touch that they have to build an entire network of propaganda sites to try to mislead voters.’

In 2020, a conservative run company named Metric Media set up more than 1,000 news sites with a right-wing slant ahead of the presidential election, according to the Columbia Journalism Review. 

Not to mention the growth of the Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a heavily right-wing network of television stations across the country, known for presenting opinion pieces as news items.  

Newsguard, an organization that monitors journalistic standards referred to the American Independent’s actions as being akin to ‘pink slime,’ a reference to mysterious by-products put in meat served in fast food restaurants.

DELUSIONAL: Former Clinton Advisor Says Hillary May Run In 2024

Following comments criticising the handling of mass immigration on the southern border, a long time Clinton advisor says that it appears Hillary may be positioning herself for another presidential run in 2024.

The New York Post reports that strategist Dick Morris believes Hillary is moving toward presenting herself as a “moderate” centrist candidate in 2024.

“I see more and more signs that Hillary’s going to run,” Morris, a former aide to Bill Clinton, said during a radio interview.

Morris said the fact that Hillary is acknowledging that most Americans “do not believe in open borders,” is a tell tale sign.

“These are all signals that she is going to be the moderate candidate for president. She’s going to say after the election, ‘See, the left cost us the House and the Senate. If we stay with a left-wing candidate in 2024, we’re going to lose the White House. I’m the only one who will tack to the center and give us a chance at victory​,​’​” Morris said.

The political consultant added that “it’s the strategy I designed for Bill Clinton in 1992” and that “​Hillary is just dusting off Bill‘s playbook that I wrote for him and applying it herself this year.”

Listen (relevant part starts at 46 mins):

Morris previously recently predicted that Democrats are going to reject Biden for a second run in favour of Clinton in order to avoid the potential of “some crazy radical like Gavin Newson, Bernie Sanders. Maybe even AOC herself” becoming a front runner.

“That’s going to drive the Democratic Party leaders to go to Hillary and say, ‘Hey look. Please run again. We need you to save us from the crazy left,’” ​Morris said, adding “Otherwise we’ll have Sanders as our candidate. We’ll lose Congress by a ton. And we’ll get wiped out in the presidential race.’”

During an MSNBC interview a fortnight ago, Hillary noted “nobody wants open borders who has any idea of how government and countries work.”​

Hillary recently declared that she would never run for President again, but that hasn’t stopped the rumours from circulating.

Meanwhile, despite continued questions over his mental degradation, Joe Biden has reportedly told Al Sharpton that he plans to run again for president in 2024.

In related news, an underreported piece by Breitbart last week detailed how Hillary aides reportedly seriously believed that Donald Trump, acting as a Russian agent, planned to poison Hillary with some sort of deadly handshake during the presidential debates in 2016.

The revelation is made in a forthcoming book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who details how “During preparations for the third debate, Clinton’s team was disrupted by a warning from the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein, who said he had been told that Russians might try to poison Clinton through a handshake with Trump, to inflict a dramatic health episode during the debate.”

While the book claims Hillary personally didn’t take the threat seriously, “Her communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, took the prospect seriously enough to check it out,” Haberman writes.

Interestingly, there was no handshake at the beginning of the third debate:

UNREAL: Biden Admin Showered Millions On Government’s ‘Misinformation’ Czars After 2020 Election

The Biden administration awarded millions of federal dollars to members of four private groups that worked with the departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and State during the 2020 election to censor social media posts they deemed ‘misinformation’ – according to an in-depth analysis of documents obtained by Just the News.

The four groups in question – Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO), the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, and social media analytics firm Graphika – comprise the “Election Integrity Partnership,” which exists as a ‘concierge-like’ service for federal agencies such as Homeland’s Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and State’s Global Engagement Center to flag online content for censorship or monitoring by Big Tech using a “ticket” system.

Unsurprisingly, the head of Stanford’s Internet Observatory is a Clinton donor who previously served as Facebook’s Head of Security – while the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public is largely funded by the Knight Foundation, whose board exclusively contributes to Demorat or Neocon entities (a few examples hereherehereherehereherehereand here).

Meanwhile, the Biden administration empowered three liberal groups to file tickets seeking censorship; the Democratic National Committee, Common Cause and the NAACP.

In its own after-action report on the 2020 election, the consortium boasted it flagged more than 4,800 URLs — shared nearly 22 million times on Twitter alone — for social media platforms. Their staff worked 12-20 hour shifts from September through mid-November 2020, with “monitoring intensif[ying] significantly” the week before and after Election Day.

The tickets sought removal, throttling and labeling of content that raised questions about mail-in ballot integrityArizona’s “Sharpiegate,” and other election integrity issues of concern to conservatives.

The consortium achieved a success rate in 2020 that would be enviable for baseball batters: Platforms took action on 35% of flagged URLs, with 21% labeled, 13% removed and 1% soft-blocked, meaning users had to reject a warning to see them. The partnership couldn’t determine how many were downranked. -Just the News

First Amendment be damned

The operation falls under a legal gray-area, in that the First Amendment prohibits Congress from passing laws that abridge free speech – while courts have ruled that this extends to federal agencies funded by the legislative branch.

The government knows that they cannot do it by themselves because of the First Amendment of the Constitution,which prohibits it,” said Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), a a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, in a statement to JTN. “And then they decide to partner with another entity, a private entity. a social media platform or university. “

“And then they say, ‘Hey, we’re going to feed you information that we think is disinformation, or we want to be disinformation. And then you go ahead and you do the de-platforming. You label it as misinformation, or disinformation.’”

And according to the report, participants in the censorship consortium were acutely aware that their effort strayed into uncharted legal territory.

For example, Stanford’s Renee DiResta (who previously worked for a firm that created a ‘false flag‘ against Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore) noted in a 2021 CISA Cybersecurity Summit video that the effort faced “unclear legal authorities” and “very real First Amendment questions.”

Former State Department official Mike Benz told Just the News that the censorship consortium was the largest federally-funded censorship operation he had ever seen – and a precursor to the Disinformation Governance Board, which was scrapped after public outcry over the highly-partisan and Orwellian nature of the organization. Benz runs the nonprofit, Foundation for Freedom Online, which advocates for free speech globally while monitoring US censorship.

“If you trace the chronology, you find that there was actually 18 months’ worth of institutional work to create this very apparatus that we now know played a significant role in the censorship of millions of posts for the 2020 election and has ambitious sights for 2022 and 2024,” he told Just the News. “Amazingly, there are now so many Ministry of Truth functionaries within the Department of Homeland Security.”

“There are so many Ministry of Truth tasks, so many Ministry of Truth points of contact, so many different Ministry of Truth, policies for whether to remove something, reduce it, slap a fact checking label on it.”

Rep. Clyde, meanwhile, says he expects Republicans to investigate the consortium next year if they regain control of Congress – and that he’s drafting a piece of legislation called the ‘Free Speech Defense Act’ to address censorship issues.

“This bill would prevent the federal government from labeling anything through a proxy entity, like a social media company, as disinformation, labeling it as misinformation or labeling it as true,” he told JTN. “And then it would also give an opportunity for those people who have been injured by it to take legal action.”

Censoring right-leaning media

The consortium didn’t just target blogs and individual social media users – the censorship czars also went after news and opinion organizations such as the New York Post, Fox News, Just the News and SeanHannity.com (ZeroHedge included).

The partnership’s members published the 292-page public report in March 2021, though the most recent version is dated June 15, 2021. The launch webinar featured former CISA Director Christopher Krebs, “who led the effort to secure electoral infrastructure and the response to mis- and disinformation during the election period.”

During the launch webinar, the Atlantic Council’s Emerson Brooking said they wanted to stop the “amplification and legitimation” of “far-right influencers [who] would be doing all they could to try to catch the eye of a Fox News producer,” making it likely that President Trump, “the social media death star,” would see their content.

Government entities were involved in real-time chats with the partnership and social media platforms over specific content under review.

A chat screenshot in the report shows an unidentified government partner rejecting the Sharpiegate claim that “sharpies aren’t read at all” by ballot-counting machines, and a platform provider responding that it was now reviewing those claims. -JTN

“I think we were pretty effective in getting [platforms] to act on things they haven’t acted on before,” said SIO founder Stamos.

Meanwhile, the censorship partners all received federal grants from the Biden administration over the next two years.

In August 2021, the National Science Foundation awarded the Stanford and UW projects $3 million “to study ways to apply collaborative, rapid-response research to mitigate online disinformation.”

Octant Data (aka Graphika), received nearly $3 million from the Department of Defense right after the 2020 election for unspecified “research on cross-platform detection to counter malign influence” – with almost 2 million more awarded in fall 2021 for “research on co-citation network mapping” to track sources that are cited together.

The Atlantic Council, which hosted then-VP Biden in 2011 for a keynote address, has received $4.7 million in grants since 2021.

‘2023 Will Be Year From Hell’: Top Financial Analyst Warns

Stock market data with downtrend vector. 3d render.

Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong says nothing is going to get better by the end of 2022, and he is still forecasting “chaos” coming in 2023.

Armstrong says the plunge in the stock market last week is all because of “extreme uncertainty.” Armstrong predicted a stock market crash two months ago and contends, “It’s not over.”

Europe is in big financial trouble with Russian natural gas turned off as a retaliation from the sanctions. Armstrong explains:

In Europe, I believe they are actually deliberately doing this, and this is Klaus Schwab’s ‘Great Reset.’

They know they have a serious problem.

They lowered rates to below 0% in 2014. They just started raising interest rates. Meanwhile, you ordered all the pension funds throughout Europe to have more than 70% in government bonds. Then they took it negative.

All the pension funds are insolvent. Europe is fiscal mismanagement on a grand scale. There is no way it can sustain itself, and we are looking at Europe breaking apart.

So, could Europe suck the rest of the world down the tubes? Armstrong says, “Oh, absolutely. Europe is the problem…”

“The crisis in banking will start in Europe…The debt is collapsing. They have no way to sustain themselves.

The debt market over there is undermining the stability of all the banks.

You have to understand that reserves are tied to government debt, and this is the perfect storm.

Yes, the (U.S.) stock market will go down short term. We are not facing a 1929 event or a 90% fall here… Europeans, probably by January of 2023, as this crisis in Ukraine escalates, anybody with half a brain is going to take whatever money they have and get it over here.

So, where is smart money going to go? Armstrong says, “Stocks are like gold, it is on the same side of the table and is opposite government debt…”

“People are not going to be buying government debt. They are going to be looking at anything in the private sector. . . . People are buying whatever they can to get off the grid.”

Armstrong says governments are borrowing and spend huge amounts of money. The Fed will keep raising interest rates to fight inflation, but Armstrong says,

“Raising interest rates will only make things worse. We have supply shortages, and raising rates will not fill the gaps.”

Armstrong has never been more positive on buying gold. Why? Armstrong explains,

We are looking at a sovereign debt default. This is what’s going on. This is why Biden will spend whatever he wants because he knows he doesn’t have to pay it back. Eventually, this is what’s going to happen. This is Schwab’s agenda.

Armstrong has predicted “2023 will be the year from Hell.”

Armstrong says, “Civil unrest will only get worse” this year, and he is predicting we will have full blown war next year.

Armstrong contends Democrats are desperate and will do things like granting illegal aliens citizenship so they can vote in the mid-term elections.

In closing, Armstrong says, “Something is going to spark a collapse in government again. It’s going to be something, I think, in Europe where they do something drastic because they have no other choice. . . . They need war as the excuse for the defaults of all the government debt.”

CAUGHT: Ex-Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan DELETED Nearly 200 Texts After Letting ANTIFA Create ‘CHOP’ Zone in 2020

  • Former Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan was accused in court documents of manually deleting text messages related to the lawless CHOP zone
  • A new forensic report conducted on behalf of business owners and residents suing the city concluded she deleted nearly 200 text messages
  • She had previously been found to have deleted over 5,000 messages after setting her phone to automatically delete them after 30 days 
  • The report also concluded that the texts of several other key officials were destroyed in manual resets in July 2020
  • It remains unclear what was said in those messages
  • Plaintiffs claim the city officials were trying to hide evidence about the Capitol Hill Organized Protest

Former Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has been accused in court documents of manually deleting texts related to the lawless CHOP zone created in the city during the 2020 Black Live Matter riots.

According to a new forensic report conducted on behalf of business owners and residents suing the city for its botched response to the riots, Durkan manually deleted nearly 200 text messages in July 2020, around the time CHOP was created.

The anti-cop zone, set up in the ritzy Capitol Hill neighborhood, stood for Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, and was also known as CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone).

It was billed as a peaceful utopia free of police violence, but quickly descended into anarchy, with one teenage boy even murdered. 

Local businesses watched in despair as customers stayed away for fear of violence – while Durkan vocally supported the hellish enclave.

In response to a Donald Trump tweet condemning the area, she tweeted: ‘The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone is not a lawless wasteland of anarchist insurrection – it is a peaceful expression of our community’s collective grief and their desire to build a better world. Given his track record, it’s not hard to believe that Trump is wrong, yet again.’ 

She has previously been found to have deleted over 5,000 messages from the time after she changed her settings to automatically delete messages after 30 days.

The new report also concluded that the texts of several other key officials were destroyed in manual phone resets in July 2020, one month after Black Lives Matter protestors took over an area near Capitol Hill and the East Precinct, and set up their own barriers.

At first protesters called the area the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), but that changed to the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or The CHOP, which lasted for weeks.

During the weekslong riot in June 2020, one teenager was killed and several others were wounded in three other shootings.

Now, a group of residents and business owners are suing city officials, saying they ‘intended to deprive Plaintiffs of crucial evidence’ by deleting their text messages about the riots, though it remains unclear what was said in those texts.

They are accusing City Hall of ‘spoliation of evidence’ and are asking a federal judge to find the city liable for the crimes committed at the CHOP, or by advising a future jury to infer spoliation, according to the Seattle Times. 

City officials, though, have asked the judge to throw out the case — with City Attorney Ann Davison’s office accusing some of the plaintiffs themselves of deleting their own texts about CHOP.

They argue that the city government under Durkan sought to de-escalate the protests rather than neglect it, as the plaintiffs claim.

And a spokesperson for Durkan, who did not seek re-election following the CHOP riots and was replaced by current Mayor Bruce Harrell, told the Times she ‘believes strongly in the public’s right to know what their government is doing.’

But she called the lawsuit, filed in the Western District of Washington last week, ‘a purposely inaccurate and misplaced “Hail Mary” attempt to save a case that lacks merit.’

Durkan’s text were originally disclosed as missing to the public by whistleblowers in her office in early 2021, an apparent violation of public records law which requires that certain texts be preserved.

Anyone who willfully destroys a public record that is supposed to be kept is guilty under the law of a felony, punishable by five years in prison and a $1,000 fine.

But a previous forensic analysis, commissioned by City Hall in response to questions abut how officials managed the June 2020 protests, found that Durkan’s phone was set the following month to automatically delete texts after 30 days, resulting in the loss of 5,746 texts.

It also indicated that Durkan’s phone had been set to delete text messages stored in the cloud at around the same time.

She has since directed responsibility on the city’s information technology department, saying it provided her with a new phone on July 9, 2020 — in the period during which her text-retention setting was changed to 30 days.

But the city department said it is not part of its practice to change text retention settings, and both forensic analyses have identified July 4, 2020 as the date her phone was set to delete texts stored in the cloud.

Durkan has said in a deposition that no one else handled her phone that day, the Seattle Times reports.

The new report now shows that in addition to those more than 5,000 text messages deleted from before June 25, 2020, 191 more were lost later, between June 25 and November 16.

It concludes that the text messages were manually deleted. 

Durkan now claims  that problems arose with her phone after she dropped it in a tidepool on the Fourth of July.

Her spokesperson told the Times that the texts are ‘mostly innocuous and irrelevant’ and are ‘wholly consistent with her public statements at the time.’

Meanwhile, the Seattle Times reported more than a year ago that texts from a number of other officials — including the city’s fire and police chiefs — were missing or were not yet recovered from the period when police deployed tear gas on protesters and abandoned the East Precinct.

At the time, the newspaper reports, the city’s attorney’s office said texts were missing from Durkan, then-police chief Carmen Best, fire chief Harold Scoggins, assistant police chief Eric Greening, police chief strategy officer Chris Fisher, emergency operations official Kenneth Neafcy and public utilities official Idris Beauregard. 

According to the new report, their phones were each reset in October 2020, resulting in more than 27,000 texts being deleted from Best’s phone and over 15,000being deleted from Fisher’s phone.

Best has since admitted that she periodically deleted her texts.

And the city has defended its factory resets on its phone because the officials were ‘locked out’ of their phones.

It remains unclear what the text messages that were deleted said, but the forensic report compiled by Leatha Consulting LLC says the deletions ‘each resulted in a loss of text messages that the city had an obligation to preserve.’

It also said the technology issues could have been resolved without resetting the phones and losing the texts.

SHAMELESS: Pfizer CEO REFUSES To Attend COVID Vaccine Testimony After Bombshell Report Released

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has bailed on an appointment to testify before the European Parliament’s special committee, where he was expected to face tough questions over secretive vaccine deals, Politico reports.

Bourla was scheduled to appear before the panel on Oct. 10, alongside key officials involved in the EUs vaccine procurement process, in order to discuss how to respond to future pandemics. According to the report, “Other pharmaceutical executives have addressed the committee, including the CEO of Moderna and senior officials from AstraZeneca and Sanofi.”

Bourla? Not so much.

The committee’s chair, Belgian MEP Kathleen Van Brempt, told POLITICO she “deeply regrets” the decision taken by Pfizer.

After a visit to BioNTech’s headquarters last week, Van Brempt had said in a written statement that she looked forward to discussions “with other CEOs” including “Mr. Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer” on October 10. -Politico

In early September, an audit repirt into the EU’s vaccine procurement strategy raised questions over Bourla’s relationship with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen before they struck a multibillion-euro vaccine deal.

The report, by the European Court of Auditors, found that von der Leyen had been directly involved in preliminary negotiations for the EU’s biggest vaccine contract, for up to 1.8 billion doses of the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine, which was concluded in May 2021. This was a departure from the negotiating procedure followed with other contracts, where a joint negotiating team made up of officials from the Commission and member countries conducted exploratory talks. -Politico

In April, von der Leyen admitted that she had been texting with Bourla for a month straight while they were negotiating the massive contract. Two months later, the texts disappeared, triggering accusations of maladministration by the EU’s ombudsman, Emily O’Reilly,” Reuters reported at the time.

Bourla and von der Leyen’s cozy relationship was noted last year by the NYT, which Bourla told they had “developed a deep trust, because we got into deep discussions.”

“She knew details about the variants, she knew details about everything. So that made the discussion, way more engaged.”

And now Bourla won’t have to answer questions about it.

EXCLUSIVE: Maryland Democrat Uses Arundel Mills Mall Shooting To Attack Gun Owners

This Saturdays’ shopping at Arundel Mills Mall, has taken an unusual turn of events! At 3:38PM Anne Arndell First Alert has reported of their Facebook page:

“#Breaking | Police Activity | Arundel Mills Mall | Reports of shots fired | The Mall has been evacuated | NO CONFIRMATION OF A SHOOTING | Police are clearing each store at a time | One person of interest being sought | Numerous units are on scene | Staging command post near the Casino | No confirmed injuries | This is your FIRST ALERT – Info can change” 

https://www.facebook.com/AAFirstAlert/posts/pfbid0Knit7LwWTQs3MQqAVrkFxvJxxQT679nS1THC16YuvoGUpkb8aczxV6gUWUUi7nM6l

Shortly after, Anne Arundel County Police Department, has reported:

“Officers on scene at Arundel Mills Mall. Preliminary investigation, review of video shows what’s believed to be a male accidentally discharge a firearm in the food court. It does not appear that there were any victims to the discharge. Police are on scene investigating.”

https://www.facebook.com/aacopd/posts/pfbid02o8EZdgvUw4VAC9EEhcTMYYd5EkgJ1UMHvWowEAR8YxnLEJJv1uRH39aB7fNhbVV5l

Almost immediately after, Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman (Democrat), has come out with the following statement:

“Three months ago, the Supreme Court made it more dangerous to go to the mall in America. The NYSRPA vs. Bruen decision made it easier to carry guns in public places, and Maryland followed suit, removing the “good and substantial reason” that had been required to obtain a concealed carry permit. The following month, concealed carry permit applications in Maryland soared by 700% compared to the same month in 2021.

Today, we saw what happens when more guns are present in our communities. Families enjoying a meal in the food court at Arundel Mills experienced the terror of not knowing whether they would be the latest victims of a mass shooting. People fled, people were hurt, all because a firearm went off in a crowded public space. My heart goes out to everyone present for this incident – nobody should have to go through what you did today.

For four years, I have made it a priority to put in place common-sense local policies to prevent gun violence and death in Anne Arundel County. We have one of the best Police Departments in America, and from 2018-2021, every category of crime fell by ten percent or more. In June, our Gun Violence Intervention Team issued its strategic plan – read it.

But today, I am angry. Politicians glorify guns to get votes, the Supreme Court takes away our right in Maryland to pass and enforce our own gun permitting laws, and the result is terror.

I will stand with our law enforcement community and push back against this idea of promoting guns in public places. It’s dangerous and it’s stupid.”

https://www.facebook.com/AACoExec/posts/608148097649027?d=m

Coincidentally enough, incumbent Anne Arundel County Councilwoman (District 2 – Democrat), Allison Pickard was at Arundel Mills Mall during the incident:

“I was among the thousands that were evacuated from Arundel Mills Mall this afternoon. At the time I had no idea what was happening. Families and patrons were fleeing the Mall.

Thank You Anne Arundel County Police Department and Anne Arundel County Fire Department for your quick actions during this incident.

Today’s incident turned out to be an “accidental” discharge of a firearm. I am relieved to be able to read that report in the aftermath. Mass shootings have become an all too frequent occurrence at shopping centers, football games,  schools, churches, etc.

Today I was part of a crowd who were clearly confused and many were desperate to be reunited with loved ones and friends.

We were lucky today Anne Arundel County.”

https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=509768374490028&id=100063706090526

Neither elected officials, have made any similar statements following a recent double shooting in Anne Arundel County, just five days prior https://www.fox5dc.com/news/man-dead-another-injured-in-targeted-double-shooting-in-anne-arundel-county-police

With the 2022 Gubernatorial Elections, shortly approaching, https://elections.maryland.gov/elections/2022/index.html, and Democrats constantly pushing to restrict gun laws for law abiding citizens, is this Saturday at Anne Arundel Mills mall incident, an unfortunate case of events, or something more?!

REPORT: How George Soros Funded The Invasion At Our Southern Border

George Soros’s Open Society Foundation donated millions of dollars to organizations dedicated to advocating for mass immigration and amnesty for illegal immigrants.

George Soros’s organization has offered millions in monetary support to organizations that advocate for unfettered mass immigration and amnesty for illegal immigrants. 

Press Secretary of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) Ron Kovach explained the role that globalist billionaire George Soros has had in the push for mass immigration and amnesty, telling Breitbart News “Soros and his shadow organizations have worked hand in hand with the Biden administration since Biden took office to not only shield, but encourage more illegal aliens to flock to the United States.”

Kovach went on to say “Soros has had a hand in almost every move the Biden administration has made to topple our immigration system,” pointing to the billionaire’s efforts to help “secure visas for those already illegally in the country through misinterpretations of Trump’s VOICE initiative, to assisting those attempting to avoid deportations,” and more recently “suing Gov. DeSantis for his Martha’s Vineyard flight.”

Kovach added, “What’s worse is that most of his initiatives have had funding assistance through grants awarded by the Biden administration.”

The Federation for American Immigration Reform seeks “to reduce overall immigration to a more normal level.” The organization, which seeks to reduce legal immigration, states on its website “FAIR puts the interests of American citizens and future generations ahead of big business and partisan demands.”

Among FAIR’s detractors is Media Matters, a progressive watchdog group that refers to the organization as a “hate group.” Media Matters is not only funded by George Soros’s Open Society Foundations but has also received millions of dollars from the Ford Foundation, which Breitbart News revealed has spent over $100 million in support of amnesty and mass immigration.

New Virginia Majority

One organization, which has received $100,000 from OSF, is called New Virginia Majority. The organization seeks to build “a bloc of conscious, consistent voters to advance a new politics that is democratic, sustainable and just.” 

They specifically work to mobilize “working class people of color in Virginia as the drivers of a bold new agenda for all.”

The organization’s board includes Charlene Sinclairthe managing director of the Groundswell Fund, a wealthy organization that funds progressive causes and has given over $100 million in donations since 2003. Another board memberDoris Crouse-Mays, Secretary, is the president of theVirginia chapter of The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations.

National Immigration Law Center

The National Immigration Law Center (NILC) received over $3.4 million from OSF between 2016 and 2020. A document from NILC titled “Strategic Framework for Transformational Change” lays out the organization’s plan to ​​“consolidate immigrant power” and “forge consensus for culture change.”

NILC also intends to get candidates to get “candidates in key electoral races to center immigrants in their platforms and communications.” The organization hopes to increase “humanitarian admissions to the United States” and to take part in “enhancing citizenship pathways.”

NILC is a large operation, with nearly 70 different people working for the organization including leadership and employees.

Immigrant Legal Resource Center

The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) has received over $2.3 million from OSF in eight different grants between 2016 and 2020. The organization seeks to encourage immigration and naturalization and then mobilize them as a newly imported voting bloc.

A grant for $350,000 in 2020 was intended to “​​encourage naturalization among eligible immigrants, assist them with the process, and mobilize their civic participation.” The same description is listed under a grant in 2019, which also totaled $350,000.

ILRC also attempts to prevent the deportation of illegal immigrants. The organization sells a book titled “Removal Defense: Defending Immigrants in Immigration Court.” One webinar from the ILRC, led by Executive Director Eric Cohen and Staff Attorney Kathy Brady, is titled “Drugs and Naturalization.” 

The training discusses how attorneys can defend immigrants from deportation if they have been convicted of a drug offense such as drug trafficking. The webinar discusses “what drug conduct or convictions might make the person deportable” and explains “defense strategies” for immigrants who may be deported due to drug-related charges. 

Meanwhile, fentanyl deaths in border communities have skyrocketed as much as 800 percent, and four times as much fentanyl has come across the border under Biden since fiscal year 2019 when Trump was in office. 

Another guide from the organization discusses how defense attorneys may approach cases in which an immigrant may be deported due to committing a crime of domestic violence, stalking, or even child abuse.

ILRC has taken several steps to ensure that criminal illegal aliens are not subject to deportation. The organization encourages probation officers to end their collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement by taking measures such as “removing citizenship status and place of birth questions from internal forms” and prohibiting probation staff inquiries into the citizenship status of criminals.

The ILRC’s board of advisers has included both Nancy Pelosi and the Chairman of the California Democratic Party.

Black Alliance for Just Immigration

The Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI) has received $600,000 from Soros’s OSF from 2017 to 2020. The organization has called Title 42, an immigration security measure, “racist.”

National Immigration Forum

Meanwhile, the National Immigration Forum (NIF) received $1 million from OSF between 2016 and 2020. The Soros-backed group supports amnesty for illegal immigrants.

While other Soros-backed organizations that enable mass immigration do so in order to import and mobilize a new voting bloc, NIF appears to be more interested in enabling the importation of immigrants for the benefit of corporations, who seek out cheap labor.

NIF runs a program called “New American Workforce,” the description of which reads “the Forum is a trusted partner when major companies seek to advance services to support and advocate on behalf of their new American workforce.”

Their Corporate Roundtable seeks to “advance strategies that integrate new Americans into the U.S. labor market.” One of the objectives of the roundtable is to “Advocate for pro-immigrant policies and integration programs.”

NIF’s officers and board of directors include religious officials and individuals in business and real estate.

Unidos US Action Fund

Meanwhile, Unidos US Action Fund, which received $300,000 from OSF across 2019 and 2020, uses ethnic identity politics to push liberal immigration policies. Their home page reads, “We’re building Latino Political Power.” The organization supports amnesty for illegal immigrants and engages in policy advocacy on immigration.

America’s Voice

America’s Voice (AV) has received nearly $1.6 million from OSF to support progressive immigration reform. Like the other Soros-backed organizations, AV supports amnesty for illegal immigrants and tracks ads from the Republican Party opposing Critical Race Theory or illegal immigration, which it calls “racist and xenophobic.”

Executive Director of America’s Voice Frank Sharry previously served as the Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum, a position he held for 17 years.

United We Dream

An organization called United We Dream (UWD), which supports amnesty for illegal immigrants, received at least $700,000 in grants from OSF related to immigration. UWD is led by Greisa Martinez Rosas, who herself was an illegal immigrant.The group also advocates for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Patrol, and the police more generally, to all be defunded. 

Equally as radical, UWD has called for detention camps to be closed so that illegal immigrants can be released into the interior. UDW also believes that illegal immigrants who have been deported should be allowed to return to the United States.

Several more organizations that endorse amnesty and mass immigration have received financial support from OSF. Grants to such organizations can be found here

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is now being sued for busing migrants to Martha’s Vineyard by Alianza Americas, a non-profit organization that is backed by Soros.

The Ford Foundation (FF) is another wealthy organization that has given large sums of money to nonprofits that support mass immigration and amnesty. A report from Breitbart News found that FF gave more than $100 million to various pro-amnesty groups, including some, like United We Dream and the National Immigration Law Center, that also received funds from OSF. 

A Yale University study from 2018 reveals that there may be anywhere from 16 million to 29 million illegal immigrants within the United States, a figure that has undoubtedly shifted since the study was conducted. According to recent polling from Gallup, a plurality of Americans would like to see immigration decrease. 

Roughly three million economic migrants have been allowed across the southern border into the U.S. economy since Biden’s inauguration. Roughly two million additional legal migrants, temporary workers, and white collar illegals have been allowed in via U.S. airports. The combined inflow is huge — roughly four million immigrant workers join the labor force each year.

WATCH: Putin Slams Corruption of Traditional Values and Gender Norms as ‘Outright Satanism’

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed the West’s disruption of the nuclear family and morality, and its promotion of gender dysphoria as the works of Satan.

In an address recognizing the results of a referendum held by Ukrainians in the Donbas region, in which Ukrainian citizens voted to leave Ukraine and join Russia, the Russian president described how the West has gone astray of “moral norms, religion, and family.”

Let’s answer some very simple questions for ourselves. I now want to return to what I said, I want to address all the citizens of the country – not only to those colleagues who are in the hall – to all the citizens of Russia: do we want to have, here, in our country, in Russia, instead of mom and dad there was “parent number one”, “number two”, “number three” (they were completely crazy already there!)? Do we really want perversions that lead to degradation and extinction to be imposed on children in our schools from the primary grades? To be drummed into them that there are supposedly other genders besides women and men, and to be offered a gender reassignment operation? Do we want all this for our country and our children? For us, all this is unacceptable, we have a different, our own future.

Putin went on to say the West would like to forcefully impose this perversion of values on the rest of the world, thus carrying out the will of Satan.

I repeat, the dictatorship of the Western elites is directed against all societies, including the peoples of the Western countries themselves. This is a challenge for everyone. Such a complete denial of man, the overthrow of faith and traditional values, the suppression of freedom acquires the features of a “reverse religion” – outright Satanism. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ, denouncing the false prophets, says: “By their fruits you will know them.” And these poisonous fruits are already obvious to people – not only in our country, in all countries, including for many people and in the West itself.

The Russian president also issued a message to government officials in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, advising them to respect the results of the referendum and “cease fire.”

I want the Kyiv authorities and their real masters in the West to hear me, so that everyone remembers this: people living in Lugansk and Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye become our citizens forever. (Applause.)

We call on the Kyiv regime to immediately cease fire, all hostilities, the war that it unleashed back in 2014, and return to the negotiating table. We are ready for this, it has been said more than once. But we will not discuss the choice of the people in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson, it has been made, Russia will not betray it. (Applause.) And today’s Kyiv authorities should treat this free will of the people with respect, and nothing else. This is the only way to peace.

Elsewhere in his speech Friday, Putin characterized the Nord Stream pipeline explosion as “sabotage”:

But sanctions are not enough for the Anglo-Saxons, they have switched to sabotage – unbelievable, but true – having organized explosions on the international gas pipelines of the Nord Stream, which run along the bottom of the Baltic Sea, they have actually begun to destroy the pan-European energy infrastructure. It is clear to everyone who benefits from this. Whoever benefits, he did, of course.

He also took aim at the United States’ past military aggressions, including in Nagasaki, Hiroshima and Vietnam.

The United States is the only country in the world to have used nuclear weapons twice, destroying the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. By the way, they set a precedent.

Let me also remind you that the United States, together with the British, turned Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne and many other German cities into ruins without any military necessity during World War II. And this was done defiantly, without any, I repeat, military necessity. There was only one goal: just as in the case of the nuclear bombings in Japan, to intimidate both our country and the whole world.

The United States left a terrible mark on the memory of the peoples of Korea and Vietnam with barbaric “carpet bombing”, the use of napalm and chemical weapons.

Until now, they actually occupy Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and other countries, and at the same time cynically call them equal allies. Listen! I wonder what kind of alliance this is? The whole world knows that the leaders of these countries are being watched, the first persons of these states are being installed listening devices not only in office, but also in residential premises. This is a real shame. A shame both for those who do this and for those who, like slaves, silently and meekly swallow this rudeness.

Despite Putin’s calls for peace, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday submitted an application for “accelerated ascension” into the NATO strategic alliance, further escalating tensions between the two warring nations.
