Joe Biden has done more than arm Israel. Leaked documents reveal his own officials see him as complicit in Gaza’s devastating famine
Richard Hall, Bel Trew & Andrew Feinberg | An investigation by The Independent uncovers the missteps, missed opportunities and political choices made by the Biden administration that allowed a famine to take hold in northern Gaza. With access to leaked documents, testimony from current and former officials and voices from Gaza, it paints a damning picture of an entirely preventable catastrophe. | resident Joe Biden and his administration have been accused of being complicit in enabling a famine in Gaza by failing to sufficiently act on repeated warnings from their own experts and aid agencies. ■ Interviews with current and former US Agency for International Development (USAID) and state department officials, aid agencies working in Gaza and internal USAID documents reveal that the administration rejected or ignored pleas to use its leverage to persuade its ally Israel – the recipient of billions of dollars of US military support – to allow sufficient humanitarian aid into Gaza to stop the famine taking hold. ■ The former officials say the US also provided diplomatic cover for Israel to create the conditions for famine by blocking international efforts to bring about a ceasefire or alleviate the crisis, making the delivery of aid almost impossible. “This is not just turning a blind eye to the man-made starvation of an entire population, it is direct complicity,” former state department official Josh Paul, who resigned over US support for the war, told The Independent. ■ Israel has vehemently denied that there is a hunger crisis in Gaza, or that it has restricted aid. It says fighting with Hamas, the militant group that triggered the current war when it killed 1,200 people and took over 250 hostages in Israel on 7 October, has hampered aid efforts.

Health officials are raising the alarm over a mysterious deadly heart syndrome that has suddenly emerged and is estimated to affect 90 percent of the population. | New research is shaking up the medical establishment with data showing that an astounding 90 percent of the United States population now suffers from a heart condition that in many ways looks like spike protein organ damage from COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. ● Last October, the American Heart Association (AHA) published a report about the changing nature of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which overlaps with kidney disease, Type 2 diabetes, and obesity. ● For the first time, the AHA has defined the overlap of these conditions as cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. One in three adults living in the United States has at least three, and oftentimes more, risk factors that contribute to CKM. Every major organ in the body is affected by it, including the heart, brain, kidney, and liver, with the worst damage occurring in blood vessels, heart muscle, and the cardiovascular system.
NIH official finally admits taxpayers funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan – after years of denials
NIH official finally admits taxpayers funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan — after years of denials | At long last, National Institutes of Health (NIH) principal deputy director Lawrence Tabak admitted to Congress Thursday that US taxpayers funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China in the months and years before the COVID-19 pandemic. "Dr. Tabak," asked Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, "did NIH fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through [Manhattan-based nonprofit] EcoHealth [Alliance]?" "It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research,” Tabak answered. "If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did." The response comes after more than four years of evasions from federal public health officials - including Tabak himself and former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Dr. Anthony Fauci - about the controversial research practice that modifies viruses to make them more infectious.

CUBAN BANKING SYSTEM HAS COLLAPSED
Cubans are reporting via Social Media all their money is gone from their accounts, and all Automated Teller Machines (ATM's) have been emptied. This news is being heavily suppressed but it is getting out slowly. | At banks all over the country, angry mobs descended upon banks where Police tried to turn them away. Instead, the mobs overturned Police Cars and sent the cops running. It was all for naught. Not only were the banks closed, but they were empty too. People who got in found open vaults - they weren't even broken into -- and no cash in them at all. ● The Cuban people have been left with no financial resources, they have no means of buying food …they are desperate and they are afraid. Many people are saying "This is the final destination, this is where globalism wants to lead you to the apocalypse." Cubans were forced to adopt the digital banking system & now they are financially ruined, they have no recourse.
Hal Turner Remarks | If they did this to Cubans, what would stop them from doing it to the rest of us? I think you should start taking some CASH out of the banks. These Bankers are Globalists. If they did it in Cuba, I think they'll try it here -- and everywhere else. I think they've done this on an island nation to get a sense of how bad the reaction will be. If it's manageable, I think they'll do it to all of us. And if government is "in on it" what could any individual do? Thankfully for individuals, when there are enough victims, individuals become large groups . . . and we know what large GROUPS of individuals can do to banks, bankers, and to governments, so keep those possibilities in mind. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NEXT OFFER THE CUBAN CITIZENS UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME . . .

Georgia might be punished for passing the “foreign agents” law | Members of the Georgian government could face sanctions for “undermining democracy,” [i.e. the U.S.] a senior US diplomat said on Tuesday, after the parliament in Tbilisi approved a foreign agents law that Washington has opposed. ● Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O’Brien arrived in Tbilisi for meetings with both Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and members of the opposition, only to find that the Georgian legislature passed the Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence.
Maria Zakharova | Vedant Patel, deputy chief of press service of the US Department of State: “We have made it clear (...) that the adoption of the law on NGOs by the Georgian parliament is not only inconsistent with US values, but also inconsistent with the aspirations of the Georgian people... The Georgian government needs to change course”.

Canada to Retroactively Arrest Anyone Who Has EVER Posted ‘Hate Speech’ Online
In a race to see which Western government can become the most totalitarian in the shortest amount of time, Canada has taken the lead. The Trudeau regime has introduced a new “hate speech” bill that is so draconian that you could end up imprisoned—for life—if you posted something hateful on the internet. The rule would even apply to mean tweets that were sent years before the law was written. Retroactive punishment for new laws has never been a facet of the rule of law in any Western nation—not ever. House arrest, life imprisonment, and a $25 million fine are the punishments that people could soon face in Canada for saying something naughty on the internet. It would create a new hate speech kangaroo court that can pass judgment on people even if they’ve committed no crime. If a court believes that you might commit a “hate” crime or disseminate “hate propaganda,” Another section of the bill gives the Canadian Human Rights Commission the authority to subjectively determine what is or is not “hate” speech. The bill doesn’t even define what hate speech is.
FBI’s sinister anti-Christian ‘PATCON’ program is the internet’s best kept secret. Until now….
It’s tough to keep track of all the FBI’s programs—programs they’re actively using against the American people. Most of us are familiar with COINTELPRO, a program from the 1960s and 1970s that was supposedly targeted at radical leftists. It’s out there for everyone to read up on and is often cited as a shameful instance of suppression against supposedly innocent Americans, and it very well might have been. [...] For a deeper dive into the PATCON program, we encourage you to check out the Odysee podcast. Click here to listen to the full discussion and get enlightened on this very shadowy program targeting Christians and the folks on the right.
