Looks like a lot of CNN people are deleting their Linkedin stuff, etc. after this
In the latest Project Veritas sting video, CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester admits that his network used “propaganda” in an effort to ensure that President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Chester takes credit for Trump’s loss and confesses that the network created at least one story that was “all speculation” in order to defeat the president. He also says that as soon as the COVID-19 pandemic tapers off, CNN plans to “milk” climate alarmism for all it’s worth.
“Look what we did, we [CNN] got Trump out. I am 100% going to say it, and I 100% believe that if it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have got voted out,” Chester tells the Project Veritas undercover journalist in the sting video. “I came to CNN because I wanted to be a part of that.”
The director discusses at least one situation where CNN intentionally crafted a story questioning Trump’s health, a story that amounted to “propaganda.”
The president’s “hand was shaking or whatever, I think. We brought in so many medical people to tell a story that was all speculation — that he was neurologically damaged, and he was losing it,” Chester recalls. “He’s unfit to — you know, whatever.”
“We were creating a story there that we didn’t know anything about. That’s what — I think that’s propaganda,” he confesses.
On the contrary, the CNN director explains that this network intentionally put Joe Biden in a good light, suggesting there were no questions about the Democrat’s health.
“We would always show shots of him [Biden] jogging and that [he’s] healthy, you know, and him in aviator shades. Like you paint him as a young geriatric,” Chester says.
Chester admits that the CNN office has “fatigue” about the COVID-19 pandemic. “So, like whenever a new story comes up, they’re going to latch onto it.”

I’ve been wondering how many of these immigrants are serious Catholics or Evangelical Christians? What influences them religiously?
@ eaglesoars:
That is what I am thinking also. The Brett Weinstein podcast discussed how even in 5 year we might not know all the effects of the vaccine. Since we are the guinea pigs I would rather we test each vaccine regionally. Spread the risk out.
For the most part based on family genetics I am a few years past my expiration date. I’m not seeing an upside to me taking the vaccine. If I inherited my fathers mothers fathers genes I’ll live to at least 103. Everyone else was mostly out in their 60’s.

Or have their doctor flag them as a public health risk? Or just have the feds inject them with an RFID chip that kills the virus and votes for them based on their Google social credit score?

@ Bunk X:
Yeah, there’s a lot they’re not saying. The same thing happened w/Astra Zeneca. I think they’re worried about this blood/brain barrier issue. If you see my post upthread about Dr Fleming, mice showed spongy brain issues. Alex Berenson has more on twitter. It’s not just about the stats. The other thing is that they are insisting that you act like you never had the vaccine even after you get it. Masks, distancing, etc. A homeless junkie knows that’s not how vaccines work. So is this a vaccine or isn’t it?
eaglesoars wrote:
It’s my opinion that the masks, social distancing and restricting the number of people who peacefully congregate in private settings have more than a bit to do with suppressing free speech and spreading information.
And it’s not just J&J and Astra Zeneca.
Remember this doctor in Miami who died after getting the Pfizer version? He developed ‘an unusual blood disorder’ that caused a brain bleed. Symptoms started 3 days after he got the vaccine.

@ eaglesoars:
That there is a message out there that the vaccine may cause mad cow disease is a monkey wrench into the public health effort. I don’t see how the vaccines can be considered safe until after 2-5 years of use. If there is a negative effect then politically active democrats will be the most severely impacted.

I followed Lobos link on Officer Tatum’s youtube channel. He gives an excellent analysis of the shooting. The shooting officer is not competent to be a police officer. Poorly trained. Poorly evaluated. Some of the fault of that rests on the big city dem machines that like to cut corners with police budgets and training. Usually behind the curtain is a corrupt Dem mayor IMO.
@ eaglesoars:
yes the janitor took the gain of function test animals and sold them to the market? One of many possibilities. To me its the most likely one. The other one would be that the lab was contaminated. That is also pretty likely. Lax CCP and WHO rules.

The Chinese government squashed that story very quickly upon discovering it was in the wild. It was very credible. Wish I could remember where I heard it. Radio or television.

So after 4 months, I have received a reply from my senator regarding him folding like a cheap suit during the election:
/// Thank you for writing in to express your views regarding the Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald J. Trump. It is good to hear from you.
On January 6, 2021, then-President Trump gave a speech at a rally near the White House before some of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. In that speech, Trump encouraged his supporters to march on the Capitol and many of them then stormed the building and tried to stop Congress from confirming President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election. During the tragic event, the U.S. Capitol was placed under lockdown and five people died, while dozens more were injured. On January 13, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives adopted a single article of impeachment against then-President Trump, charging him with incitement of insurrection. The Senate has since held a trial and voted on whether to convict the former president. I voted against conviction, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to explain why.
Let me begin by saying that the siege of the U.S. Capitol on January 6 was an attack on democracy itself. That night, shortly after the rioters had been cleared from the Senate floor, I spoke to urge my colleagues to do our constitutional duty and support the state certifications of the election results as a signal that “we will not be intimidated” and that “mob rule is not going to prevail here.”
I have said that what President Trump did that day was inexcusable because in his speech he encouraged the mob, and that he bears some responsibility for the tragic violence that occurred. I have also criticized his slow response as the mob stormed the Capitol, putting at risk the safety of Vice President Pence, law enforcement officers, and others who work in the Capitol complex. Even after the attack, some of the language in his tweets and in a video showed sympathy for the violent mob. In response, I called on President Trump to “explicitly urge his supporters to remain peaceful and refrain from violence.”
However, the question I had to answer was not whether President Trump said and did things that were reckless and encouraged the mob. I believe that happened. The threshold question I had to answer was whether a former president can be convicted by the Senate in the context of an impeachment. This would have been unprecedented. Consistent with the two votes I had already taken during this process, I believe the Constitution reserves the narrow tool of impeachment and conviction for removal of current officeholders and current presidents, and does not apply to former officeholders or former presidents. Impeachment in the Constitution is fundamentally about removing someone from office.
I think the Framers of the Constitution understood that it would be inappropriate to allow Congress—an inherently political body—to convict former presidents. Instead, the appropriate place to address former officials’ conduct is the criminal justice system. In fact, the Constitution makes clear that former presidents are subject to the criminal justice system. That is where the issues raised by the former president’s inexcusable actions and words must be addressed.
I have a duty to uphold my oath to the Constitution and that’s why I voted as I did on the state certifications of the election on January 6, on the jurisdictional issue during the trial, and on the final vote on conviction. My decision in no way condones the president’s conduct. On the contrary, I was keeping my oath to the Constitution—one that I believe the president did not keep on January 6th.
Our country is already deeply divided. My decision was based on my reading of the Constitution, but I also believe the Framers understood that convicting a former president and disqualifying him or her from running again pulls people further apart. Instead, our task should be to help bridge the growing gaps that separate us. I will continue to do my part to try to find that common ground to bring our country together to address the many challenges we face. ///
I wrote a scathing reply until a friend told me he announced that he will NOT be running and plans to retire next year.
The Vatican is at it again. Still
Italian authorities announced on Monday that an arrest warrant has been issued for Gianluigi Torzi, who brokered the Vatican’s 2018 purchase of a London property.
The Italian court order raises a startling assertion from Vatican authorities: that the Secretariat of State acted outside its legal authority when it invested hundreds of millions of euros of Church funds, and when it put Peter’s Pence funds up as collateral for high risk investments.
The charge could render the transactions void, and implicate Cardinals Pietro Parolin and Angelo Becciu with final legal responsibility for the scandal.

This is a summary of part of Warroom’s afternoon broadcast which I missed some of because of a phone call, I’ll have to listen again. I don’t know what the secret deal with China is about
————
The $200 million speculative London real estate deal using funds meant for the poor, plus selling out to the Chinese Communist Party has Stephen K. Bannon pulling his hair out.
“They took cash money” from China, Bannon said. “Cardinal McCarrick, the pedophile of pedophiles started it, and [Cardinal Pietro] Parolin closed the deal.”
“The secret deal with China is 10 times worse than anything they’ve ever done,” he said.
Yore also previewed the beyond parody upcoming “mind, body, soul” conference at the Vatican, which features “international celebrities” and Chelsea Clinton.
The May 6-8 Vatican conference also will feature Dr. Fauci, the heads of vaccine makers Pfizer and Moderna.

Stacey Abrams Is On The Board Of A Group Collaborating With The Chinese Communist Party.
CAP has repeatedly partnered with the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) on sponsored trips to China, reports, and other endeavors for over a decade. Aided by Western lobbying firms, CUSEF has set out to “effectively disseminate positive messages to the media, key influencers and opinion leaders, and the general public” regarding China, according to Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) filings with the Department of Justice.

Back when CNN pioneered the split screen they covered a hearing with Susan Molinari, who was in her 30s, a Republican from NY and Maxine.
This was before Maxine’s first facelift. Must have been mid 90s. I looked at the TV and jumped back. The contrast between the two was jarring. Maxine’s face looked like a melted candle. I christened her Mudslide Maxine.

Weasel and I once pulled into an empty school parking lot to take a leak. Almost immediately we were surrounded by police with their guns drawn. One officer shined his flashlight around the inside of my car, saw the beer, but commented that there weren’t any baseball bats or rocks.
The officer said we’d stumbled into a stakeout – the school had been the target of vandals. After questioning us he said, “To go driving around with a friend and having a few beers is okay,” and said we were free to go.
Both of us needed to piss real bad after that.

Another tragedy. The shooting by police and the death of a 13 year old.
Adam Toledo. Many online “experts” have calculated that 830 milliseconds ( as in just over three quarters of a second ) elapsed between when the time the small child had a gun in his hand to when he had his hands up and then got shot fatally.
MURDER!!!!!!
Now, I have Googled it. Speed nerve impulses travel from brain to hand. About 150 to 200 milliseconds.
Even if officer realized that Adam Toledo’s hand was then empty as he started to raise his hands it was too late.
The officer’s brain had already sent the nerve impulse to pull the trigger. No way to stop it.

I have a naughty cat problem here. Two almost identical cats. When one is naughty I yell and the naughty cat runs away.
So how do I know which cat was the naughty one?
I grab the cat that did not run away, identify it and by deduction know that it must have been the other cat that was the naughty cat!
However when I was successful for a while identifying the naughty cat ( and it was 50/50 ) they realized how I worked out who was naughty.
Now they work as a team….
Both run away but I now which cat was the bad cat.
The black one…..
