Google, Oracle, Amazon And Microsoft To Work For Pentagon In $9 Billion Deal
In order to handle its cloud needs, the Pentagon modified its strategy last year and solicited bids from Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle. Now, Google, Oracle, Amazon and Microsoft are all set to work for Pentagon in a $9 billion deal.
The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle had been awarded a cloud computing deal worth up to $9 billion through 2028.
The result of the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability, or JWCC, endeavor is consistent with the United States Defense Department’s initiative to lean on several providers of remotely operated infrastructure technology rather than a single corporation, as advocated by the Trump Administration.
According to an email from a Department of Defense spokesperson, “JWCC is a multiple award procurement composed of four contracts with a shared ceiling of $9 Billion.”
A growing number of companies have also resorted to rely on multiple cloud providers. In some instances, they depend on one for the majority of front-end and back-end workloads and the other for specialized capabilities. Sometimes it comes down to price. Having multiple clouds could increase an organization’s confidence in their ability to tolerate service interruptions brought on by outages.
CHILD ABUSE / CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING
Outrageous! Heartbreaking Video Shows Moment New Zealand Authorities “Medically Kidnapped” a Baby After Parents Refuse Vaccinated Blood for Heart Surgery By Jim Hoft
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the high court ruled on Tuesday in favor of the boy’s pediatric heart surgeon and cardiologist becoming his legal guardians “for the purpose of consenting to surgery to resolve the obstruction and all medical issues related to that surgery, including the administration of blood,” said Justice Ian Gault in a summary of the judgment.
This guardianship begins this Wednesday and lasts until he has fully recovered from his surgery and treatment approach, which is expected to be no later than January 2023. In all other aspects, the parents will continue to serve as guardians, according to the Guardians.
Baby Will’s operation is scheduled for Friday night.
It can be recalled that Health New Zealand filed an application with the Auckland High Court on Monday to transfer guardianship under the Care of Children Act so that the baby can undergo surgery.
The parents said in an interview with a reporter from New Zealand, that their baby, Will, has severe pulmonary valve stenosis and requires surgery “very immediately,” but they are “particularly concerned with the blood the doctors are going to use.
“The baby is not scheduled for his operation. He’s in a stable condition,” said Cole, Will’s father. “We’re not playing with our baby’s life to get a political or any movement going. We’re wanting our baby to have the surgery and we’re wanting him to have the very best of what’s available for his surgery and his future and his recovery.”
“We don’t want blood that is tainted by vaccination,” the father said. “That’s the end of the deal – we are fine with anything else these doctors want to do.”
According to New Zealand Herald, there were reportedly 20 potential unvaccinated blood donors who were willing to donate, but the New Zealand government did not approve this.

COMMENTARY / OPINION
Know What Drives Anti-Semites Like Ye? Just Peel the Onion of the Human Psyche by Joan Swirsky
When I watch TV with my husband Steve, a former athlete, I see superb ballplayers in basketball, baseball, and football exhibiting what immense discipline went into their sculpted bodies, what sacrifices they made to achieve their goals, what tremendous––almost superhuman––talent they have in effecting that three-point shot from mid-court, that spectacular triple play, that “you’ve been Mossed” catch in the endzone.
And I picture them as young boys watching Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter, Tom Brady, and saying to themselves what Steve––his team’s slugger––said to himself in 1955, when, at the age of 14, he took the 3,000-mile train ride from New Haven, CT, to Portland, OR, to compete in the Babe Ruth League World Series in the Multnomah Stadium: “I’m gonna be the next Joe DiMaggio!”
It only added to that lofty ambition when the residents of The City of Roses greeted the teenaged boys by showering red, white, and pink roses on them when they got off the train.
As it happened, the star pitcher of Steve’s team got into a fistfight and was sent home on the next train. And that left Steve to face not only the 15-year-old pitcher Mickey Lolich, who became the three-time All-Star and World Series winner for the Detroit Tigers, but also 15-year-old Al Downing, who became an ace pitcher for the NY Mets and NY Yankees (and other teams).
“I was up three times and Lolich pitched me nine pitches I couldn’t hit,” Steve told me, smiling back at the memory.
But that humbling experience didn’t discourage Steve from continuing to admire and emulate his heroes DiMaggio and Mantle and Koufax, et al, and to engage in the sports he loved…both baseball and basketball, the latter of which earned him All Connecticut and All New England status, as well as the coveted New England Championship in 1959 in high school, and subsequently to become the captain of the Dartmouth College basketball team.
At the high school New England Championship game in Boston Garden: Pictured from left to right in ‘59: Tookie Gomez, Jimmy Hill, Steve, Maurice Sykes, Lindsay Haughton, with Coach Sam Bender.
Why? “Because when you admire someone and you want to be like them,” Steve told me, “You study what they do, how they act, what they say. You try to find out what the secrets of their success are, with the goal of achieving what they’ve achieved, or at least coming close. And that goes for farmers or hedge-fund managers, ballerinas or composers or astronauts, rich or poor, black or white…that goes for everyone!”
Indeed, intelligent people who play sports realize when they’re quite young that the way to achieve your goals is to emulate the people you admire…their discipline, drive, sacrifice, demeanor, behavior. And to learn the lessons that only sports, not school, teaches: humility, how to deal with disappointment with grace, how to be modest in victory, how to be grateful for the gifts of health and talent that God has given you.
YE AND KYRIE KNOW ALL THIS
Certainly, the rap star and clothing designer Ye (aka Kanye West) is not stupid, as anyone who watched his interview with Tucker Carlson saw with his own eyes. He is articulate and thoughtful. He told Carlson that he was raised by a mother he loved and a father he idolized, “the most brilliant man.” His father, he proudly stated, was a member of the Black Panthers Party, a Marxist-Leninist and black power organization founded in 1966.
Before it was founded, Blacks and Jews comprised an influential alliance, with Jews contributing significant financial aid and both moral support and concrete assistance to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and many other Black organizations fighting for equality and against racism. Not to omit their collaborative efforts to enroll Blacks to vote, for which New York residents, Jewish volunteers Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, were savagely murdered in 1964 in Mississippi.
Yet given this history, quite familiar to Ye, he nevertheless tweeted on October 9, 2022, that his intention was to go Def Con 3 on Jewish people, which to most people meant to wipe out the Jews who so irritate and enrage him, and that includes the power that he apparently believes the Jews in his life––his managers, agents, handlers, doctors, et al––seem to have over him.
And while spewing this hatred, he also insisted that he was one of the “real” Jews, ostensibly referring to the Hebrew Israelite group or cult or whatever it is.
Welcome to the Ideological Collapse of the GOP Emerald Robinson
Trump didn’t demoralize Republican voters, the GOP did that all by themselves
Many of my conservative friends — quite a few of them GOP donors and campaign strategists and media people I must admit — greeted the news of Herschel Walker’s defeat in the Georgia Senate with a shrug.
What difference did it make really? What difference could it make?
It was not indifference to Herschel Walker as a candidate, per se, so much as indifference to the GOP having a majority in the Senate.
Why?
Simply put: very few of them believed that a GOP-dominated Senate would do anything for GOP voters. The mood could be described as complete disgust with Mitch McConnell and GOP leadership — or, as I prefer to call them — our senators from the great states of Cialis.
It’s not just the gelatinous blob known as Mitch McConnell, or that closeted court jester of Fox News, Lindsey Graham. It’s not only the spectacular career implosions of Ben Sasse and John Cornryn. What about Pat Toomey? Rob Portman? Richard Burr? Roy Blunt? Mitt Romney? Thom Tillis? Bill Cassidy? Lisa Murkowski? Look at their voting records: they’re basically a chorus-line of limp-wristed flip-floppers.
In fact, this bunch isn’t worth a bucket of warm spit.
At every turn, this gang of geriatric invalids and psychological inferiors displayed their complete contempt for their own voters in 2022. It’s not just that they hate President Trump — they hate Republican voters. As for traditional GOP values, they have turned on them too. They have gone out of their way to “flip the bird” at conservative principles like limited government, restricted government spending, legal immigration, free speech, gun rights, and religious freedom.
In fact, they have enthusiastically joined hands with Democrats on bill after bill recently — in a concerted attempt to disabuse the American people of the antiquated notion that we have a two-party system.
You might even call it: ideological suicide.
Be Guided by the Angel on Your Shoulder by Lawrence Kadish
Scientists have long sought to bring order to our universe through the application of formulas.
Einstein created what is probably the most recognized formula with his explanation of energy as “E = mc²”. The Greek philosopher Pythagoras has been given credit for stating the relationship between two legs of a right triangle and its hypotenuse. Calculus, with its many different equations, sits on the shoulders of Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz who labored during the 1600s.
But what these formulas will never be able to compute is the function of the human heart, the role of individual conscience, and ability to recognize right from wrong.
For that, each human being on the planet must depend upon the Angel on their shoulder. The values offered by that Angel are not interchangeable. To secure happiness for us, and those around us, it is important for us to be guided by that Angel on our shoulder, for it is only then we can walk tall.
When that Angel is absent so too is morality. Equally lost is empathy. And for those who have forsaken that Angel on their shoulder, the very concept of love is missing.
During this holiday season it is particularly important to pause and insist upon a period of self-reflection for, regardless of one’s faith, that Angel is in search of the person who embraces the humanity within ourselves and the ability to love.
The Kirsch Challenge: Show me data showing the unvaccinated are worse off! Steve Kirsch
This is my personal version of the “Bucket Challenge” but my challenge is based on data skills rather than physical skills. Can you complete the challenge?
Overall, around 25% of adult Americans are not vaccinated, and it’s even higher for kids who are not attending an American university (where they are required to be vaccinated)… I’m guessing well over 50% of kids under 16 are unvaccinated. This is a very large “control group” and which enables the challenge to be won even with fairly modest data set sizes.
Winning the challenge is easy
All you have to do is show us the data proving that the unvaccinated are experiencing any symptom that is associated with the COVID vaccine injured at an equal to or higher rate than their overall percentage of the population.
Symptoms include deaths (all-cause), heart attacks, strokes, bleeding in the brain, dropping dead on camera, myocarditis, functional neurological disease, Bell’s palsy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, sudden death, stiff person syndrome, Ramsay Hunt syndrome (like Justin Bieber), or any of the over 100 symptoms listed in the symptoms column of this survey which are symptoms associated with the vaccine injured.
For example, you simply show that 25% or more of the adults who died suddenly in the second half of 2021 or in all of 2022 are unvaccinated (with the COVID vaccine) and you win.
You don’t have to show it in the full population or even a full year; any random subset that is large (time and number of people) and random will enable you to win, e.g., the news headlines in 2022 or data from a large hospital chain where the COVID vax status is reliably known.
There is no prize yet, but if there are no takers, I’ll have to start offering an incentive!

I just sent this urgent request to meet with staff of my member of Congress Steve Kirsch
You should do the same thing I did.
I just sent off a meeting request to my member of Congress.
The trick is not to request a meeting with your member of Congress directly; this is way too easy for them to blow off saying that the member is too busy.
Instead, ask to meet with a staff member. Then they cannot use the “too busy” request. Let us know in the comments what happens. If you get a meeting, I’m happy to attend.

Pfizer CEO Refuses To Testify Before EU COVID Panel
A letter was sent by the Pfizer CEO on December 2 saying that he refuses to testify before the EU COVID Panel as he has no further information to share with the Committee.
Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, has once again declined to appear before the COVID special committee of the European Parliament.
That’s strike two.
“Since the October COVID hearing, we have no further information to share with the Committee, so respectfully decline the invitation to again revisit these issues,” states the letter from Bourla dated December 2.
Bourla earlier cancelled a scheduled hearing before the committee in October, where he was expected to face challenging questions about how clandestine vaccination sales were made. That choice was made in response to an audit study into the EU’s vaccine procurement policy that raised new concerns regarding communications between the CEO of the pharmaceutical company and Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, prior to a multibillion-euro vaccination deal.

How any state can learn the truth about COVID vaccine safety in under a week Steve Kirsch
It’s trivially easy for any state in the US to find out the truth about the safety of the vaccines. It doesn’t cost a dime and will take less than a week. Why don’t they want to know?
John Beaudoin, whose impeccable work I can personally vouch for, recently sent me the following email:
If any state gives me access to their Immunization Information System (IIS) AND Vital records death certificates system to the detailed record levels, I will be able to correlate hundreds to thousands of deaths to the vaccine shots in a very short time with the search abilities I’ve automated. It will be done in a week. I’ll fly anywhere in the USA to do it.
Will any state take John up on his free offer?
If not, why not?
Why don’t they want to know the truth? Do you think they might be hiding something? Can they explain why the public is safer if this research is not done?
Vitamin D Level Is Directly Correlated to COVID-19 Outcome [17:26] Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
Reduce Risk of Infection and Severity of COVID-19 With This
Although researchers recommend a specific amount, it’s impossible to predict how much you need unless your blood is measured. Stay away from hospitals and test your level from home.
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- An analysis of medical records revealed a direct correlation between levels of vitamin D and the severity of illness in people infected with SARS-CoV-2
- Low vitamin D levels are normally found in people with dark skin. This may be a compelling factor in the higher rates of COVID-19 illness and mortality
- The U.K. recommends vitamin D supplementation during this pandemic, concerned people are not getting enough sunlight; yet the U.S. continues to focus on drugs and vaccine production
- Vitamin D needs vary widely, so it’s important to get your levels tested before deciding how much vitamin D3 supplement you should take

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- Cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra shares data on the Big Pharma takeover of modern medicine
- Due to Big Pharma’s stronghold over health care, we’re facing what Malhotra calls a pandemic of misinformed doctors and unwittingly harmed and misinformed patients
- Drug companies and medical device manufacturers aren’t in business to make patients happy; they’re beholden to their shareholders, for whom they have a financial obligation to produce a profit
- Malhotra shares data showing why he believes COVID-19 shots should be suspended
- Malhotra notes that political involvement and policy advocacy, combined with social participation and social movements, can together lead to the creation of relevant knowledge to protect public health

Press Release: AMA, Wisconsin Med file amicus to oppose ivermectin as a court ordered treatment for COVID
MADISON, Wis. — In a case before the Wisconsin Supreme Court that seeks to force physicians to provide substandard care, the American Medical Association (AMA) and Wisconsin Medical Society (WisMed) today filed an amicus brief (PDF) arguing against ivermectin as a court ordered intervention for COVID-19 as the drug has not proven effective against the disease.
The amicus brief in Gahl v. Aurora Health notes that ivermectin is not within the standard of care for the treatment of COVID-19 and warned against the court compelling the use of a drug that medical consensus finds is unsupported by available medical evidence and discouraged by federal agencies and health authorities.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and the Food & Drug Administration have issued advisories indicating that ivermectin is not authorized or approved for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19. While the National Institutes of Health, World Health Organization, and Merck—the manufacturer of ivermectin—all state there is insufficient evidence to support the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19.

Developing: Brazilian Military in “Firefights with Commandos and Marxist Guerillas” [6:09] By Richard Abelson
The corrupt Brazilian Supreme Court has again moved up the certification of the steal, proclaiming convicted Communist criminal Lula da Silva President overnight, angering patriots and accelerating the push for a military takeover. The Military has called for volunteers to help restore democracy in Brazil. Leftist Journalist Glenn Greenwald criticized Supreme Court censorship of elected representatives and journalists.
The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) was originally scheduled to confirm the steal Dec. 19, but moved up the date one week in the face of military preparations to protect Brazil from the coup under Article 142 of the Constitution. In a desperate move, TSE chair and Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes yesterday proclaimed Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Geraldo Alckmin and elected to the positions of president and vice president of the Republic on Tuesday (12/6).
Speaking to Steve Bannon on War Room, Matt Tyrmand said “military (is) being strategically deployed, reservists are being activated” and “the military is already active in the favelas, in the places where Lula’s base is strongest, criminals and drug traffickers. Remember election nght, when he ‘won’, you could hear the cheers from the prisons… There are rumors Venezuela has shipped in paramilitary operators into the favelas, so they’ll come down from the hills should this go kinetic and engage with the military.”

MUST READ – Our Most Important Report of the Midterm: Election Fraud, It’s Voter Roll Manipulation – Not Ballot Gathering! by Jay Valentine
If you do not embrace, with both arms, that Leftists and RINOs use a multi-faceted, 40 years-in-the-making, industrial-scale voter fraud system, centering on voter roll tampering and manipulation, aided by elected officials, NGOs, protected by the mainstream press and conservative controlled opposition, you cannot be part of its remediation.
This week, we have a glaring example of the Republican money-gathering class demonstrating how clueless it is about this reality.
Our friend Ned Ryun, from a conservative organization, said Republicans need to adopt an absentee ballot-chasing strategy. In Breitbart, of course. This nonsense is the popular position promoted by most of the establishment Republican media, the GOP establishment, and even several Trump supporters: – Sean Hannity, Harmeet Dhillon, Matt Margolies, and Victoria Marshall (Federalist) to name a few.
They just don’t get it!
Democrats with RINO Republicans and NGOs control access to voter rolls.
There is one overarching rule they share: no America-First candidates.
They know who voted.
They identify infrequent voters; when that person fails to vote, they offer their concierge service – they vote for them.
INSURRECTION: Democrats Usurp Control of Pennsylvania House Despite GOP Holding the Majority By Cullen Linebarger
Democratic cheating to win elections is ubiquitous and a tale old as time. The power grab they pulled off in Pennsylvania, though, marks new terrain.
Rep. Joanna McClinton held a fraudulent ceremony Wednesday where Delaware County Judge Rick Lowe swore her in as Pennsylvania House Majority Leader. She based her hollow claim to power based on the Democrats “winning” 102 seats in the November midterms, the exact number needed to form a majority in a full chamber of 203 members.
The problem besides the suspicious election results is Democrats only have 99 incoming members for the January 3rd legislative session. One general election candidate, Rep. Anthony DeLuca, “won” despite dying one month prior to the midterms. Rep. Austin Davis, the Lieutenant Governor-elect, and Rep. Summer Lee, who was elected to Congress, submitted their resignations on Wednesday.
The Epoch Times acquired a legal opinion Thursday by the non-partisan Pennsylvania Legislative Reference Bureau. The document concluded the Democrats have no basis for a majority claim because they can only seat 101 members. Please note the Bureau issued their conclusion just after the Democrat resignations.
Here is the opinion:
“Under current law, an individual must at least be elected and living to qualify as a member of a legislative caucus. The Democratic Party won 102 House elections at the November 2022 general election, but the House Democratic Caucus is able to seat only 101 members due to the death of member-elect Anthony DeLuca. The House Democratic Caucus falls short of the 102 members necessary for a majority.”
House Republican Leader Bryan Cutler, who requested the legal opinion, expressed his righteous fury:
“Today’s illegitimate power grab by Rep. McClinton, who was sworn-in without notice and in complete secret, is a paperwork insurrection typical of a Democratic Party that is constantly displaying that their last two years of rhetoric on respect for institutions has been nothing but crocodile tears.”
“While admitting three vacancies exist by calling special elections in the 32nd, 34th and 35th districts, vacancies that gives Republicans a 101-99 majority in the House, Democrats are creating internal confusion by simultaneously speciously alleging they have a fake, gerrymandered majority that has the authority to conduct the business of the House.”
“Rep. McClinton’s actions are an affront to our democratic institutions and issuing a competing Writ of Election has created electoral chaos that ultimately shows they do not believe elections matter and every vote really does count.”
“Instead of working cooperatively to navigate the unique circumstances before us, House Democrats have instead set a terrible precedent for what to expect over the next two years and beyond. Moreover, they have started this session with a sad waste of time and resources that is reminiscent of the failed petty conduct their caucus has been engaging in for the better part of the last decade.”

FDA Plans To Ban Homeopathic Medicines
The FDA and other governmental organizations are acting rapidly to render natural medicines unavailable to Americans. We need to take urgent action as the FDA plans to ban homeopathic medicines.
The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) quick and deceptive authorization of the potentially damaging COVID-19 experimental “vaccines,” combined with the agency’s tremendous crusade to endorse the jabs, resoundingly supports the fact that the FDA receives a large portion of its financing from pharmaceutical company user fees. Big Pharma is essentially the FDA’s client. This revelation explains why the FDA, which is also in charge of regulating the distribution of more organic approaches to healthcare, wants to prohibit the sale of vitamins and supplements. Furthermore, the FDA has released recommendations that will make all homeopathic drugs unlawful.
According to Alliance for Natural Health (ANH), the FDA scheduled a hearing in 2015 to assess its enforcement practices for homeopathic goods. The now-removed FDA hearing notice announced its intent to “obtain information and comments from stakeholders about the current use of human drug and biological products labeled as homeopathic, as well as the Agency’s regulatory framework for such products.” Prescription medications and biological products labeled as homeopathic, as well as over-the-counter (OTC) drugs labeled as homeopathic, are examples of these goods.
According to ANH, when the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act was enacted, homeopathic remedies were supposed to be grandfathered, but the FDA has utterly ignored this. Likewise, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is determined to outlaw homeopathic remedies. According to the FDA, an over-the-counter homeopathic medication claim that is not supported by “competent and reliable” scientific data is fraudulent if it does not include the following disclaimer: 1) there is no scientific proof that the product works ; and 2) The claims made for the product are supported only by antiquated homeopathic beliefs that date back to the 1700s. The bottom line, as ANH correctly points out, is that “homeopathy lacks hugely expensive drug trials.” ANH notes:

Exclusive: ‘Then Sue Me!’ Jail Superintendent Hell-Bent on Abusing Inmates Still In Charge and Jan 6er James Grant Needs Help by Olivia Wolfe
“They are feeding us turkey byproduct salad,” said 30-year-old James Grant on a phone call from the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, Virginia, where he has been held since January in pre-trial detention. — for 11 months
“I’ve heard from inmates that work at the kitchen that the bags of vegetables say ‘chicken feed’ on them.”
Grant is charged as Ryan Samsel’s co-defendant for his participation in Jan 6 protests.
He was supposed to start his first semester of law school on a merit scholarship but has been stuck in a literal cesspool—overflowing sewage and feces-flooded cells, moldy rotten food, inaccessible discovery materials, and hardly any resources to prepare for his looming trial in March.
“It has been a tough ride lately.”
***PLEASE SUPPORT JAMES GRANT: PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING HERE
Northern Neck Regional Jail was recently slapped with a $46 million wrongful death suit due to medical negligence and denial of care by people unrelated to Jan 6th.
The jail became the subject of controversy after another Jan 6 inmate filed a complaint against the Northern Neck Jail Superintendent Ted Hull and Attorney General Merrick Garland for rights violations back in April.
In an email exchange, when the lawyer asserted the jail was violating his client’s human rights Hull responded, “Then sue me.”
Three days after the complaint against the jail was made public, fourteen members of Congress sent a letter to the Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons demanding an immediate investigation. Within 24 hours the director resigned, although eight months later the conditions in the jail have not changed.
Court filings describe gross negligence on behalf of the jail: purposeful withholding of food as punishment, prolonged solitary confinement, many instances of physical and psychological torture, denial of basic personal hygiene, confiscated legal and medical paperwork, physical attacks by known gang members, confiscated commissary food, inadequate access to counsel, and more.

What Are Geofencing Warrants And How They Are A Threat To Privacy
Geofencing Warrants have gained traction, but they are a threat to privacy, and there is no guarantee that authorities will interpret them correctly.
The work of the House committee looking into the events of January 6, 2021 is almost complete, and this week a jury found a key participant in the Capitol attack guilty of seditious conspiracy. Nearly 900 further criminal cases involving alleged rioters are still pending, and one of them has revealed unsettling new information about how the FBI looked into these defendants.
According to Wired and Emptywheel, David Rhine is the suspect, and what distinguishes his case from others is that his attorney is the first to potentially succeed in challenging the geofencing warrant that the FBI used to locate some of the defendants inside the Capitol building during the attack.
The warrant, which ordered Google to give the FBI information on devices using its location services inside a specific geographic area—in this case, at or very close to the Capitol—was the subject of 45 federal criminal proceedings, according to a prior Wired report from the previous year. How extensive the FBI’s request to Google actually was has been made clear by the Rhine case.
Google first reported 5,723 devices in response to the search warrant, but it later reduced the number to remove people who were “entirely within the geofence, to about a 70% probability” as well as potential Capitol staff and police. The FBI received a final list of 1,535 names and other identifying information. People whose phones were off or in aeroplane mode, as well as “people who attempted to delete their location data following the attacks were singled out by the FBI for greater scrutiny”.

Marine Imprisoned in Russia Reveals How He Feels About Biden Freeing Brittney Griner but Not Him By Ryan Ledendecker
The Western world woke up Thursday morning and learned that the WNBA’s Brittney Griner was returning home from a Russian prison after President Joe Biden had secured her release. For a few seconds, it seemed like good news.
And then it was quickly revealed that Biden, in his infinite wisdom, traded Griner for a dangerous Russian arms dealer, Viktor Bout. His nickname, the “Merchant of Death,” says everything one needs to know to realize this is the shaping up to be one of the worst prisoner trades in the history of prisoner trades.
While Griner gets to come back to America and eat bacon double cheeseburgers and take hot showers, decorated combat U.S. Marine veteran Paul Whelan, who was nabbed in Russia four years ago on trumped-up “espionage” charges, remains trapped in a Russian gulag and, according to CNN, he’s not happy.
“I am greatly disappointed that more has not been done to secure my release, especially as the four year anniversary of my arrest is coming up,” Whelan told CNN, adding that he was happy Griner made it out.
“I was arrested for a crime that never occurred,” Wheland said to CNN from the Russian penal colony where he’s imprisoned. “I don’t understand why I’m still sitting here.”
“I was led to believe that things were moving in the right direction and that the governments were negotiating and that something would happen fairly soon,” Whelan continued.
There’s still so much to unpack regarding the trade, which dominated the headlines on Thursday morning. Still, the bottom line is that at the very least, one might think Biden and his team would be able to wrangle two Americans — who aren’t arms dealers — in exchange for Bout, who, according to the New York Times, has spent much of his career supplying arms to the Taliban, Al Qaeda and other terrorist factions.
Biden on Thursday was asked after an unrelated speech what he would say to Whelan’s family concerning the shocking developments. His answer was a non-answer; as seen in the video below, his handlers quickly scurried him away from cameras and inquiring reporters.
National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby was pressed on the situation Thursday and insisted that the negotiations for Whelan were still ongoing in what sounded more like a pre-approved White House response.
“We have been in active discussions with the Russians on Mr. Whelan’s case for a very, very long time. Certainly, those conversations accelerated in recent months, and I can assure you that we are going to stay at those active discussions going forward,” Kirby said.
One can’t even fathom what level of dangerous prisoner we’ll have to trade to secure Whelan now. If we’re trading a terrorist arms dealer for Griner, what might Biden give up for Whelan?
Putin has to be in stitches at this point, and one can only imagine the look on his face when his people told them that the U.S. president actually agreed to trade a person like Bout.

Nigeria Limits ATM Withdrawals To $45 Per Day To Force Govt-Controlled Digital Payments BY TYLER DURDEN
THURSDAY, DEC 08, 2022 – 06:55 AM
A staggering number of Nigerians love Bitcoin, but hate government cryptocurrency (CBDCs).
In April, leading cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin noted that 35% of the adult population in Nigeria – roughly 34 million adults aged 18-60, own bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. But when it came to the country’s Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), the eNaira, it was a massive failure.
According to Bloomberg, only 1 in 200 Nigerians use the eNaira – despite government implemented discounts and other incentives, implemented as desperate measures to increase adoption.
Now, the government is looking to boost digital payments by limiting ATM withdrawals to just 20,000 naira, or roughly US$45 per day, Bloomberg reports, citing a circular sent to lenders on Tuesday. The previous withdrawal limit was 150,000 naira (US$350).
Weekly cash withdrawals from banks are now limited (without fee) to 100,000 naira (US$225) for individuals, and 500,000 naira (US$1,125) for corporations. Any amount above this will incur a fee of 5% and 10% respectively.
The action is the latest in a string of central bank orders aimed at limiting the use of cash and expand digital currencies to help improve access to banking. In Nigeria’s largely informal economy, cash outside banks represents 85% of currency in circulation and almost 40 million adults are without a bank account.
The central bank last month announced plans to issue redesigned high value notes from mid-December to mop up excess cash and it’s given residents until the end of January to turn in their old notes. The bank also plans to mint more of the eNaira digital currency, which was launched last year but has faced slow adoption. -Bloomberg
The worst trade in history: a timeline of events that led to the Biden Administration prioritizing Brittney Griner over Paul Whelan Jordan Schachtel
Multiple administrations turned down Whelan for Bout.
The Biden Administration is in full damage control mode after making perhaps the worst trade in history, exchanging a WNBA star for a notorious Russian international warlord, while leaving behind a former U.S. service member in the process. Below is a detailed timeline that shows the events leading up to Thursday’s prisoner exchang.
December 2018: Former U.S. service member Paul Whelan is arrested in Russia on charges of espionage. U.S. denies he is a spy. There is no indication that the Russians placed any offer on the table until his sentencing.
June 2020: Whelan is sentenced to 16 years in prison.
June 2020: At around the same time, the Kremlin approaches the Trump Administration to attempt to make a deal. They first offer Whelan up for Viktor Bout and Konstantin Yaroshenko, according to Russia’s Interfax. Bout, the notorious “merchant of death,” was convicted in 2011 of conspiracy to kill Americans. Yaroshenko, a lower priority drug trafficker, was sentenced in 2011 to 20 years in prison for conspiring to import more than US$100 million worth of cocaine.
The Trump Administration declines the offer.
According to former national security advisor John Bolton, the Russians then offered a one for one swap offer: Whelan for Bout. The Trump Administration again declined, not wanting to release the international warlord from custody.
July 30, 2020: U.S. Marine veteran Trevor Reed was sentenced to serve an excessive nine years in prison for a 2019 disputed incident involving alcohol and alleged violence against a Russian police officer.
Russia Releases 1st Footage Of Griner, Bout Prisoner Swap BY TYLER DURDEN THURSDAY, DEC 08, 2022 – 04:08 PM
Update(1608ET): Russian state media has released footage of a moment the Biden administration would probably rather have remained hidden from public view.
TASS released the footage Thursday afternoon, in which Brittney Griner, seen below wearing a red jacket, and Viktor Bout crossed paths on a UAE airport tarmac, both on their way to freedom. Each was handed over to their respected countries’ officials, and the groups quickly walked the opposition directions into awaiting aircraft.
In releasing the footage, Moscow appears to be celebrating a ‘victory’ of sorts over chief rival and adversary the United States. Illustrating this, prominent Russian MP and media personality Maria Butina (the same person had in 2018 been convicted by the US, and later booted from the country, for acting as a unregistered foreign agent) had this to say in a state media interview:
“Russia was pushing hard and that means that we have a very strong position in the world that the United States can’t resist.”
Additionally, Russia’s Foreign Ministry issued the following statement: “Washington categorically refused to discuss including the Russian national in the exchange scheme. Nevertheless, the Russian Federation continued to actively work on rescuing our compatriot.”
More footage was made public by the Russian side depicting some of the lead-up to Griner’s release. It also showed Viktor Bout aboard a Russian aircraft enjoying his first moments of freedom after serving 11 years of a 25-year term.
Chinese Students Invent Invisibility Cloak
China has a notorious governmental surveillance apparatus that is renowned to violate its citizens’ privacy and target the regime’s political adversaries. Now, Chinese students have invented an invisibility cloak.
To the untrained eye, it appears to be any other camouflage design coat. However, this is an invisibility cloak that adequately hides the person wearing it to artificial intelligence security cameras.
During the day, the coat’s unique camouflage prints, which were created using an algorithm, are undetected by visible light cameras. By night, when security cameras use infrared thermal imaging to identify individuals, the coat’s internal thermal devices emit varied temperatures, creating a distinctive heat signature that enables the coat to slip under the radar.
The InvisDefense coat, created by a group of four graduate students from China’s Wuhan University, was one of the proposals that won first place in the “Huawei Cup,” an inaugural cybersecurity innovation event sponsored by Chinese technology giant Huawei.
Wei Hui, the computer science graduate student who built the coat’s main algorithm, told VICE World News, “We spent a lot of energy preparing for this, including this product’s design and development.” He claims that the InvisDefense cloak is a “novel” technique to avoid existing security cameras’ AI human identification technology.
The Dossier gets shoutout from Tucker Carlson Jordan Schachtel
Tucker Carlson gave yours truly a shoutout on his show last night.
The highest rated Fox News host covered our latest story about the cover up involving the Biden Administration’s prisoner swap with Russia, through which they prioritized a WNBA star over a Marine veteran. [Emphasis added]
The full segment starts at around 26 minutes in. Tucker giving credit to The Dossier starts at 29:35.
“We missed this. A writer on Substack, Jordan Schachtel noticed it and we’re glad that he did. This kind of thing happens all the time in Washington constantly, usually without the public knowing it happened.” -Tucker
Report: Pentagon Worries Russian Released in Prisoner Swap May Return to Arms Trafficking Philip Caldwell
Pentagon officials are concerned that Viktor Bout, a Russian arms dealer whom the Biden administration freed from U.S. custody Thursday in a prisoner swap, may return to his illicit trade, according to a Politico report.
“There is a concern that [he] would return to doing the same kind of work that he’s done in the past,” a senior Pentagon official told Politico. The official said if Bout returns to illegal arms trafficking the U.S. military will focus on urging the United States’ allies in Africa not to engage with the arms dealer.
Bout, known as the “Merchant of Death,” had been serving a 25-year sentence for conspiring to kill Americans and support a terrorist organization before he was exchanged for WNBA player Brittney Griner. Griner was in Russian custody since February, when she was arrested for possession of cannabis oil, and was imprisoned in a Russian prison colony to serve a nine-year sentence.
Some criticized the Biden administration for freeing Bout, who armed African warlords and is accused of dealing with al Qaeda and the Taliban, especially as former Marine Paul Whelan has remained in Russian custody since 2018. Whelan told CNN he was disappointed more was not done to secure his release.
‘Antiracism’ is no way to conduct foreign policy
Not three years ago, Brittney Griner refused to take the floor when the WNBA played the national anthem before tipoff. “I think we should take that much of a stand,” she said at the time, arguing that “basketball doesn’t mean anything in a world where we can’t just live. We can’t wake up and do whatever we want to do.” Such is the plight, she said, of being black in America.
Yet it was in part Griner’s race, as well as her sexual orientation—she is a lesbian—that made her detention by Russia in February a high-profile news story and turned her case into a cause célèbre for activists and journalists, but we repeat ourselves.
It is also why the Biden administration on Thursday struck an ill-advised deal to trade Griner’s freedom for that of Viktor Bout, an arms dealer and weapons smuggler who was convicted in 2011 of conspiring to murder American citizens. Not included in the deal was Russia’s release of Paul Whelan, a white, cisgender, heterosexual former Marine arrested in late 2018 on trumped-up charges. For all of Griner’s complaints about being black in this country, she’s gotten far better treatment than her white counterpart.
Whelan told CNN in a phone interview Thursday from a remote Russian penal colony that “I am greatly disappointed that more has not been done to secure my release, especially as the four-year anniversary of my arrest is coming up. I was arrested for a crime that never occurred.”
Then there are the merits of the deal itself. Griner will be greeted as a hero when she touches down in the United States, but the Russian who will walk free is a dangerous thug who has earned his nickname: “The Merchant of Death.” His release will do grievous harm to American national security—he was convicted for attempting to sell weapons to Colombian terrorists who would have used them to target American troops—and Politico reports that Pentagon officials are already raising the specter that his release will fuel “conflicts across the world.” Griner is no hero.

Outrageous! Heartbreaking Video Shows Moment New Zealand Authorities “Medically Kidnapped” a Baby After Parents Refuse Vaccinated Blood for Heart Surgery By Jim Hoft
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the high court ruled on Tuesday in favor of the boy’s pediatric heart surgeon and cardiologist becoming his legal guardians “for the purpose of consenting to surgery to resolve the obstruction and all medical issues related to that surgery, including the administration of blood,” said Justice Ian Gault in a summary of the judgment.
This guardianship begins this Wednesday and lasts until he has fully recovered from his surgery and treatment approach, which is expected to be no later than January 2023. In all other aspects, the parents will continue to serve as guardians, according to the Guardians.
Baby Will’s operation is scheduled for Friday night.
It can be recalled that Health New Zealand filed an application with the Auckland High Court on Monday to transfer guardianship under the Care of Children Act so that the baby can undergo surgery.
The parents said in an interview with a reporter from New Zealand, that their baby, Will, has severe pulmonary valve stenosis and requires surgery “very immediately,” but they are “particularly concerned with the blood the doctors are going to use.
“The baby is not scheduled for his operation. He’s in a stable condition,” said Cole, Will’s father. “We’re not playing with our baby’s life to get a political or any movement going. We’re wanting our baby to have the surgery and we’re wanting him to have the very best of what’s available for his surgery and his future and his recovery.”
“We don’t want blood that is tainted by vaccination,” the father said. “That’s the end of the deal – we are fine with anything else these doctors want to do.”
According to New Zealand Herald, there were reportedly 20 potential unvaccinated blood donors who were willing to donate, but the New Zealand government did not approve this.

The WEF Wants Your House to Be Worth ZERO, to Achieve “Net Zero” Igor Chudov
Most Homes and Buildings will Become “Stranded Assets”
Does your residence look like one of these homes?
If so, be aware that the WEF thinks your house or commercial building is overpriced due to an imagined “carbon bubble” and should be worth ZERO. If the WEF gets its way, your building could become a “stranded asset” — that is, abandoned due to changes in regulations — unless you perform an expensive and often impossible retrofit — at your expense, of course!
“Carbon Bubble” and Real Estate Prices
An important agenda article referring to WEF-endorsed “pricing risk management guidelines” and “green building principles” explains:
The ULI warns of a possible ‘carbon bubble’ where the continued lack of pricing this transition risk keeps asset values artificially high and further perpetuates the chance that they ultimately become too costly to retrofit, resulting in widespread stranding of assets.
If you are not used to reading business mumbo-jumbo, I can explain, as I have a Master’s degree in business administration.
The WEF is warning us: homes and commercial buildings may be worth ZERO because the future retrofits required for net-zero carbon emissions may cost more than their value. Thus, your home or commercial real estate may become stranded. The term stranded asset means that is unusable in its current form due to a change in regulations.
“Widespread stranding of assets” is a business language talk of many buildings being abandoned.
Lest you think that I am picking on just one paragraph in a random WEF article, let me show you quotes from four separate WEF, CRREM, UNEP, and ULI documents that say the same thing:
