Seriously, how does a former stripper, former Air Force (Instagram 'influencer'), target of a supposed assassination hit, a newly elected 34-year old congress woman from Florida no less, get selected to be on the UFO committee, and with a name like "Luna"??



ABC news

Freemasons, assassinations, Nazis, UFOs...this story has it all...  

Quote:Rep. Luna hopes House UFO hearing reveals: “...it's very likely that there's other life forms out there...”

“So what we're focusing on is, one, getting the information out to the American people: Clearly, this is a big galaxy that we live in and that there is very likely technology that we are unaware of where it’s come from—and so, does this pose a national security threat?” Luna tells Ask a Pol.

Quote:MIAMI — A little-known GOP candidate in one of Florida’s most competitive congressional seats was secretly recorded threatening to send “a Russian and Ukrainian hit squad” to a fellow Republican opponent to make her “disappear.”

During a 30-minute call with a conservative activist that was recorded before he became a candidate, William Braddock repeatedly warned the activist to not support GOP candidate Anna Paulina Luna in the Republican primary for a Tampa Bay-area congressional seat because he had access to assassins. The seat is being vacated by Rep. Charlie Crist (D-Fla.), who is running for governor.

“I really don’t want to have to end anybody’s life for the good of the people of the United States of America,” Braddock said at one point in the conversation last week, according to the recording exclusively obtained by POLITICO. “That will break my heart. But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. Luna is a f---ing speed bump in the road. She’s a dead squirrel you run over every day when you leave the neighborhood.”

Reached by text message, Braddock refused to say whether he made any threats about Luna to the person who recorded him, Erin Olszewski.

Asked repeatedly via text if he mentioned Russian-Ukrainian hit squads, Braddock wouldn’t give a yes or no answer, saying he had not heard the recording and that it’s “allegedly me … there is no proof of that.” He also suggested the recording “may even be altered and edited.”

“This is a dirty political tactic that has caused a lot of people a lot of stress and is completely unnecessary,” he said.

Olszewski denied editing or altering the recording. She said she made it because she was concerned about Braddock’s “unhinged” dislike of Luna that he had previously expressed. After she made the recording just after midnight last Wednesday, she promptly turned it over to St. Petersburg, Fla., police and gave a heads-up to her friend Luna, who filed a petition for an injunction against Braddock. Luna and Olszewski each received a temporary restraining order against him last week. Braddock filed to run Monday.

In the recording, Braddock early in the call brought up the alleged assassins. He also made rambling statements about getting financial help from fellow Freemasons or by somehow importing millions of dollars from Malta and Gibraltar.

“I have access to a hit squad, too, Ukrainians and Russians,” he said about three minutes into the call, adding “don’t get caught out in public supporting Luna. … Luna’s gonna go down and I hope it’s by herself.”

Later in the call, Olszewski asked what would happen if “Luna is gonna win” and Braddock assured her that wouldn’t happen.

“She’s gonna be gone. Period. That’s the end of the discussion. Luna is not an issue,” he said.

Olszewski pushed him, asking “how do we make her go, though? I just don’t understand that.”

“I call up my Russian and Ukrainian hit squad, and within 24 hours, they’re sending me pictures of her disappearing,” he replied. “No, I’m not joking. Like, this is beyond my control this point.”

Asked if the killers were snipers, Braddock described them as, “Russian mafia. Close-battle combat, TEC-9s, MAC-10s, silencers kind of thing. No snipers. Up close and personal. So they know that the target has gone.”

...

“Don’t be on the f---ing wrong side of supporting Luna because if you’re near her when the time comes, I just don’t want that to happen to you because you’ve got kids,” Braddock said on the call. “So don’t be associated with Luna under any circumstances. Please. And do not repeat this anybody because both of us will be in jeopardy if you do. I’m not just blowing smoke here. I’m f---ing being dead ass serious and it scares the s--- out of me, too.”

Quote:No criminal charges for candidate threatening Anna Paulina Luna (July 1, 2021)

The St. Petersburg Police Department has closed its investigation into what congressional candidate Anna Paulina Luna said were threats made against her by political rival William Braddock and will take no action in the case.

....
Braddock has a history of name-calling and inappropriate comments, according to people who know him from a mass group chat for Americans abroad in China. Braddock said he spent some time living and working in China but moved back to Florida in 2019.

In a WeChat group of nearly 500 people called “American Bros in China,” ex-pats are able to connect.

James Sung, a Chinese American, said Braddock began to attack him in the forum after Sung sent a joke about former President Donald Trump.

Sung said Braddock accused him of being a communist and demanded to see his passport to prove he was American.

“Bro you’re so goddamned lucky you don’t live near me or I’d f--king make your retarded ass disappear,” Braddock reportedly said in a 2019 message that Sung shared with the Tampa Bay Times.

Quote:A former Florida congressional candidate who allegedly threatened his campaign rival with a “Russian-Ukrainian hit squad” two years ago has been arrested in the Philippines.

William Robert Braddock III, 39, was nabbed on Roxas Boulevard in Manila as part of a joint operation between the Bureau of Immigration Fugitive Search Unit (FSU), the FBI, and the US Diplomatic Security Service-Overseas Criminal Investigations, the Manila Bulletin reported.

It is not clear how long Braddock, who was taken into custody as an illegal alien, has been in the country.

He is currently being held at a detention facility in Taguig City pending his extradition to the US, where he will face an outstanding Florida arrest warrant stemming from the threats he allegedly made against his political rival two years ago, the Daily Tribune said.

Braddock was vying for Florida’s 13th District congressional seat as a Republican candidate in June 2021 when he was recorded voicing bizarre threats against his main rival, Anna Paulina Luna.

Luna, 34, was endorsed by former President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. When she won the 13th Congressional District seat in 2022, she became the first Mexican-American woman elected to Congress in Florida.

In a statement following Braddock’s arrest, Bureau of Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco said the Philippine authorities planned to cooperate with US officials on Braddock extradition.

Stanislav Rzhitsky, 42, was killed on Monday by an unidentified gunman during a morning run in a park near the Olimp sports centre, local police said.

According to the Russian daily newspaper Kommersant, Rzhitsky was previously the commander of the Krasnodar submarine, named after the city, in the Russian navy.

Russian FSB security services said on Tuesday that a 64-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of carrying out the attack.

he Ukrainian army said in a Telegram post on Tuesday that Rzhitsky was in command of a submarine that carried out a deadly missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia in July 2022, killing 23 civilians.

Quote:It’s been assumed that the COVID shots contained only RNA, but researchers have also discovered the presence of DNA fragments. Not only should the DNA not be there—indicating a significant contamination issue—but the discovery has also exposed the entire proprietary blueprint of how the RNA is made.

Story at a Glance

• Microbiologist Kevin McKernan and his team recently discovered simian virus 40 (SV40) promoters in Pfizer’s and Moderna’s bivalent mRNA COVID shots.
  
• SV40 has long been suspected of causing cancer in humans.
  
• DNA contaminants may have the ability to alter the human genome. One of Pfizer’s vials also had an SV40 promoter with a nuclear localization sequence (NLS), a 72 base-pair insertion that makes the promoter “much more aggressive and also drives the sequence into the nucleus” of the cell.
  
• DNA contamination is a warning sign that endotoxin, which causes anaphylaxis when injected, may be present.
  
• A cinnamycin-resistant gene is also included in the sequencing vector, and it’s unclear if or how this might impact human health. In a worst-case scenario, it could make your microbiome resistant to antibiotics.
  

In the video above, Jessica Rose, who holds a doctorate in computational biology, interviews microbiologist Kevin McKernan on “Good Morning CHD.” McKernan’s team recently discovered1,2,3,4 simian virus 40 (SV40) promoters in Pfizer’s and Moderna’s bivalent mRNA COVID shots. For decades, SV40 has been suspected of causing cancer in humans.5 As explained in the abstract, posted on OSF Preprints in April 2023:6

Quote:“Several methods were deployed to assess the nucleic acid composition of four expired vials of the Moderna and Pfizer bivalent mRNA vaccines. Two vials from each vendor were evaluated … Multiple assays support DNA contamination that exceeds the European Medicines Agency (EMA) 330 ng/mg requirement and the FDA’s 10 ng/dose requirements.”

Equally—if not more—troubling, these DNA contaminants can also alter the human genome. As Mr. McKernan explains, genomic sequencing involves reading the letters of the genome, A, T, C, and G, which make up the DNA code. Both DNA and RNA can be sequenced in this manner.
DNA can be likened to a copy of the hard drive of your cell, while RNA is like your task manager, dictating the software program being run at a given moment. When you sequence RNA, you get a sense of what the cell is being instructed to do, while sequencing DNA tells you everything the cell could possibly do if the proper instructions are present.
COVID Shots Contain Both RNA and DNA
It’s been assumed that the COVID shots contained only RNA, but using genomic sequencing, Mr. McKernan discovered they contain DNA fragments as well, and there really should not be any. The RNA is basically copied, or “Xeroxed,” off the DNA, and only the RNA should be in the final product.
As noted by Mr. McKernan, the DNA used is proprietary. “They don’t want people to know all the tricks they put in the DNA to drive maximum amount of Xeroxing, if you will.” But what popped out during sequencing was the entire sequencing vector, “which shows us everything they’re doing to drive the expression of this RNA,” Mr. McKernan says.
So we now know they’re using a T7 promoter, an SV40 promoter, an antibiotic-resistance gene, that the replication is bacterial in origin, and more. As Mr. McKernan explains, you need vast amounts of DNA to get the amount of RNA required for these shots. To get the DNA required, a piece of DNA that codes for RNA in a circle, called a plasmid, was created and then reproduced inside E. coli in a huge vat.
Plasmids are unique in that they have an origin of replication that allows the DNA to copy itself several hundred times inside every cell of the E. coli. Since bacteria double every 20 minutes, you get exponential amplification of the DNA overnight.
The DNA must then be extracted from the E. coli and purified. Once that’s done, a T7 in vitro transcription reaction is run on the purified DNA, which copies the RNA off that DNA.
The plasmid that is put in with the E. coli—the sequencing vector—is the blueprint for how the RNA is made, and this is what Mr. McKernan found, in its entirety, in the vials. It really should not be there. Only the purified RNA should be present.
Regulatory agencies have an acceptable upper limit for double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in medical products. Still, the amount of DNA Mr. McKernan found was orders of magnitude higher than those thresholds.
The arbitrary limit for dsDNA set by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is 330 nanograms per milligram (ng/mg), but Mr. McKernan suspects that limit isn’t stringent enough because they probably didn’t consider that it might include replicable DNA. In all likelihood, this limit was primarily based on concerns about E. coli DNA, which might get mixed in.
In a May 20, 2023, Substack article,7 Mr. McKernan also pointed out that Pfizer itself submitted evidence to the EMA showing sampled lots containing anywhere from 1 ng/mg to 815 ng/mg of DNA, so regulators knew they had quality control problems from the start. In Mr. McKernan’s testing, the highest level of DNA contamination found was 30 percent, which is rather astounding.
Endotoxin Concerns
Mr. McKernan also explains that one of the primary concerns when pulling plasmids out of E. coli is the fact that endotoxins frequently tag along. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin, sits on the outside of gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli. When injected, endotoxin can cause anaphylaxis, and life-threatening anaphylaxis just so happens to be among the most commonly reported side effects of these shots. According to Mr. McKernan,8 “Whenever we see DNA contamination, like from plasmids, ending up in any injectable, the first thing people think about is whether there’s any E. coli endotoxin present because that creates anaphylaxis for the injected … You can see people get injected with this and drop. That could be the background from this E. coli process of manufacturing the DNA.”
What Is the SV40 Promoter For?
As mentioned earlier, the sequencing vector found also included an SV40 promoter. To be clear, this is not the whole virus. It’s only the promoter, meaning a specific portion of the viral DNA essential for gene expression. The problem is that this particular promoter is known to be problematic.
SV40 promoters have been studied for years and are known to trigger cancer when encountering an oncogene (a gene that can potentially cause cancer). Moreover, Mr. McKernan found that one of the Pfizer vials had not just one but two SV40 promoters.
One of them had a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) that the other didn’t have—a 72 base-pair insertion for a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) that makes the promoter “much more aggressive and also drives the sequence into the nucleus” of the cell. NLS is a sequence that tags a given protein for import into the cell nucleus, further heightening the risk of genome integration.
You can get [genome] integration off these vectors alone, and if vectors have things that localize in the nucleus, then odds go up tremendously that there could be genome integration going on.
— Kevin McKernan

Now, this second, more aggressive promoter was only found in one of the two Pfizer vials tested, even though the vials were from the same lot. What might account for this remarkable quality discrepancy? At a bare minimum, it suggests Pfizer is changing its manufacturing on the fly, without oversight. Changing the plasmid used is a major change in manufacturing that really should require regulatory oversight, Mr. McKernan notes.
As for why any of the SV40 promoters are in there, Mr. McKernan is sure it was part of an intentional design, as these promoters have a long research history.
Genome Integration Can Occur in More Ways Than 1
The reason NLS is so concerning is that it can drive genome integration even in the absence of LINE-1 (long interspersed nuclear elements 1), which allows for insertions, deletions, and rearrangements within the genome through reverse transcription.
“If you’re injecting this much DNA, you don’t need LINE-1 at all. You can get integration off these vectors alone, and if vectors have things that localize in the nucleus, then odds go up tremendously that there could be genome integration going on,” Mr. McKernan says.
Cytoplasmic transfection can also allow for genetic manipulation because the nucleus disassembles and exchanges cellular components with the cytosol during cell division.
Even if genetic modification does not occur, the fact that you’re getting foreign DNA into your cells can pose a risk. Partial expression could occur, for example, or it might interfere with other transcription translations already in the cell.
How Might Cinnamycin Resistance Gene Affect Human Health?
Ms. Rose and Mr. McKernan also discuss how the cinnamycin-resistant gene found in the sequencing vector might impact human health. What happens if this gets into a patient and encounters bacteria? Will it make that bacteria resistant to cinnamycin (a tricyclic antibiotic)?
“While speculative, at the moment, we would assume yes,” Mr. McKernan says. “Plasmids get absorbed by bacteria at 37 degrees (Celsius) temperature, which is the temperature of your gut … and if they can confer any selective advantage, then they’re going to replicate and become the dominant species in your microbiome.”
Possibly, it might require the patient to be on an antibiotic when this occurs, as this is what would give the bacteria the selective advantage. Still, antibiotic use is quite common, so this is not a concern that should be discarded off hand. Potentially, these bivalent jabs may be spreading antibiotic resistance through the injected population, which could have grave consequences.
Will Your Microbiome Produce Spike Protein?
A related question is whether your microbiome might also produce spike protein permanently. Mr. McKernan suspects the bacteria will make spike RNA, but bacterial ribosomes don’t have the right equipment to read that RNA, so they probably won’t be able to translate it.
That said, bacteria are frequently absorbed by mammalian cells in a process called bactofection, a known gene transfer technique.9 So this may result in your cells producing spike protein.
The RNA in the COVID jab is also modified to resist breakdown, so you really have two versions of the spike protein that can persist longer than anticipated, and the spike protein, of course, is the most toxic part of the virus that can cause your body to attack itself. Mr. McKernan says:

Quote:“The real concern is we’ve got an amplifiable piece of DNA that can replicate in bacteria. Your body is loaded with bacteria [and] it’s going to start replicating this DNA once it’s inside of them, and we don’t know what’s going to happen after that.

Quote:“It could make RNA, it could get absorbed into mammalian cells, it could be killed and completely gotten rid of. But the DNA shouldn’t be there to begin with. So we have to start monitoring how much DNA is actually in lot to lot. What is its length? Is it circular? And how much of it can we tolerate?”

Mr. McKernan Calls on Scientists to Reproduce His Results
On his Substack, Mr. McKernan published all the details10 scientists and labs would need to rapidly and inexpensively replicate his investigation and assess the dsDNA contamination of COVID shots around the world. He’s urging researchers to do so.
According to Mr. McKernan, one team has already contacted him, saying they found a sequencing vector in the original monovalent COVID shots. Their findings will hopefully be released shortly.

Sometimes, the internet can bring a smile to one's face.

Quote:By Jeff Spry published July 07, 2022

'The story goes like this: On July 7, 1947, a rancher in Corona, New Mexico named William Ware "Mack" Brazel
phoned the local sheriff with an odd tale of strange metallic pieces found on his property roughly 80 miles
(130 kilometers) northwest of Roswell, New Mexico.

Today is the 75th anniversary of that notorious event, known around the globe as the Roswell Incident, in which a
supposed alien craft crash-landed in New Mexico with a crew of extraterrestrials aboard.

After Brazel reported the alleged wreckage, officers from the nearby Roswell Army Air Field were dispatched and
officially announced via a press release that they'd found a "flying disc," a report that was later amended to identify
the foil-like debris as a high-altitude spy balloon instead. Nevertheless, America's fascination with UFOs erupted!..'

Quote:The Roswell Encyclopedia. Randle, Kevin D.

'On July 6, 1947, rancher Mack Brazel walked into the sheriffs office in Rosewell, New Mexico, to report some strange
debris in one of his fields. The incident was the culmination of several reports of strange lights, sounds, and shapes in
the sky; the beginning of a series of government statements, retractions, and denials; and the subject of a thousand
conflicting stories...'

Quote:'...On June 14th, 1947, farmer Mack Brazel noticed a strange wreckage in one of his fields, 30 miles to the north of
Roswell Air Base. He didn’t  think much of it and drove home. Two weeks later, on July 4th, he returned with his
family to look at the wreckage again. He hid it under a bush and went back home. Two days after this he finally decided
to report it to the police.

Quote:'It was June 14, 1947, when William “Mack” Brazel rode out on the J.B. Foster Ranch, which Brazel operated to check
the stock. His neighbor, Floyd, and Loretta Proctor’s son rode along with him. The pair soon found a large amount of
strange debris spread throughout about 200 yards...'

G'day all.

I am putting this forward more to ask how I might employ a task to combat what I consider just utter and complete bitchiness.

My 'true love' has been recently employed at a 24/7 roadside stop.  It's 'night shifts' and she caters for 'truckies' and those who travel the lonely highway looking for a rest spot and feed.  She cooks and provides meals.

 'Truey' is well experienced having been the manager of 'fast food' restaurants for some years and employed by me to provide meals for prisoners as well as clean those occupied cells after they prisoners have been transferred to the court for justice.  Also this 'true angel' has followed me around with children and encompassed herself with immediate employment including lifeguarding at recreational parks.

I could go on but she's my best mate. 

To the point.  At this roadside restaurant her boss or 'stupervisor' advises her that she should, advise this (her) supervisor/manager of intending requests for a day off or shift change.  

True love asked for one 'rostered' day off to watch an Australian game of Rugby League.  i.e. 'State of Origin'   She has been a fan of this since her younger childhood.  She did this weeks in advance.

Sorry to bore you if I am but this game is like the 'world series' to us and we enjoy travelling to our country mates locations to actively partake of a nights entertainment.  Happens 3 times per year.  'Best out of 3'. 

So 'Truey' organises with her boss to have that evening off (weeks in advance) to watch the game and enjoy a night with our mates where it was our turn to provide the food and eats (nibblies). 

'Sure' says the boss.  'Thanks for letting me know in advance'.

So, all is organised.  

To coin an Aussie phrase - "Yeah/Nah"  

This game kicks off at 8pm.  Goes for 40 minutes a side then another 40 minutes after half time.  So about 2 hours.

Boss says, 'I rostered you to start at 10pm so you can watch the game and enjoy yourself'  

If you say 'Wait! What!' in American terms,  it's like Yeah/nah' here in Australia.

Do the math from here.  My lovely 'true love' needs 1 hour (at least) to get to work.  Dodges kangaroos an all.  Before a shift from 10pm to 6am she needs to have a sleep..  So she is sleeping as I type this.  Not watching the game myself.  Who gives an eff.  My lady is supporting our lifestyle sleeping while her boss is thinking "i've done the right thing'.

Working for a living, a paying job is a job, but knowing my wife's boss, this is simply being a bitch and she thinks "I own you'.

This is simply a 'bitch act' and not noble at all.

The boss is smart enough to play games with peoples lives.

I despise people like this. 

My wife always smiles and helps out where ever she can.  This better not happen on Christmas day.

Sick of bitchy hormonal people. Mess with my 'true love' then regardless of her saying, 'Let it go."  I'll figure a way to 'FU too dirt bag bitch'.

We are too old for this type of Ess H Eye Tea.

Kind regards to all,

Bally and 'True Love'

Quote:A Chinese energy conglomerate linked to Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly recruited former president Bill Clinton’s CIA director to do Beijing’s bidding, raising questions about what the firm sought from the Biden family.

According to federal prosecutors, CEFC China Energy funded a scheme to "recruit" former CIA director James Woolsey to pen articles for Chinese state-run media that promoted Chinese government initiatives. Prosecutors allege that CEFC China Energy ran the operation through Gal Luft, the co-director of a think tank Woolsey founded. Luft is charged with failing to register as a foreign agent for "work related to Chinese foreign principals." Luft, a dual Israeli and American citizen, disclosed earlier this year that he was under investigation, but claimed he was targeted because he provided the FBI with information about Hunter Biden’s work for CEFC China Energy in 2019.

The allegation that CEFC China Energy targeted a top American intelligence official for an influence operation is certain to add intrigue to the company’s dealings with the Biden family. The family's links to CEFC China Energy drew the attention of the Justice Department’s and FBI’s counterintelligence investigators, according to IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, who led the agency’s tax fraud investigation of Hunter Biden. Republicans have asserted that the family’s work with CEFC China Energy "posed counterintelligence and extortion concerns," in part because of CEFC China Energy’s alleged ties to Chinese military intelligence.

In some ways, CEFC China Energy’s approach to Biden is similar to its outreach to Luft. Prosecutors allege that Patrick Ho, a CEFC China Energy executive and leader of the company’s China Energy Fund Committee think tank, gave $350,000 to Luft’s think tank in 2015. The following year, Ho asked Luft to "recruit and ‘educate’" Woolsey so that he "would make public statements…which were in the interest of China." According to prosecutors, Luft wrote articles under Woolsey’s name for Chinese state media outlets that promoted China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the massive infrastructure project that Beijing has used to gain influence in foreign countries. CEFC China Energy paid Woolsey $6,000 per month, according to the indictment.

CEFC China Energy also made its first outreach to Hunter Biden in 2015, when his father was vice president. The father of a classmate of Hunter Biden’s daughter contacted Hunter Biden in October 2015, offering to facilitate a donation from CEFC China to a charity where Hunter Biden served as a director. The man, Scott Oh, also asked to discuss "investment opportunities" and "invitations for the B’s to speak in China," an apparent reference to the Biden family.

Weeks later, former United Nations official Vuk Jeremic, who served as a consultant for CEFC China Energy, contacted Hunter Biden to arrange a meeting with the company.

It is unclear what transpired between CEFC China Energy and the Bidens until 2017, when Hunter Biden formally struck a lucrative consulting deal with the company.

The exact nature of Hunter Biden’s work for CEFC China Energy has remained a mystery. He discussed potential energy mergers for CEFC China Energy and energy companies in Louisiana, but those deals fizzled. The company paid Hunter Biden $5 million from August 2017 through May 2018, according to bank records.

There is evidence that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s dealings with CEFC China Energy. Rob Walker, a longtime Biden family friend, told the FBI in December 2020 that Joe and Hunter Biden attended a meeting with CEFC China Energy officials at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C. And Tony Bobulinski, a former Hunter Biden partner, has released text messages that indicate he met with Joe Biden in May 2017 to discuss a venture with CEFC China Energy.

Hunter Biden invoked his father in a threatening text message to CEFC China Energy executives on July 30, 2017, demanding payment as part of their business arrangement. The company wired Hunter Biden $100,000 days later, and would send him millions of dollars more over the ensuing months. In September 2017, Hunter Biden asked the building manager for his Washington, D.C., office to make a set of keys for his father and CEFC China executives, referring to them all as "office mates."

CEFC China Energy also paid Hunter Biden another $1 million to provide legal services to Patrick Ho, the CEFC China Energy executive who worked closely with Luft. Ho, who is described as Luft’s "co-conspirator" throughout the latest indictment, was indicted in November 2017 for attempting to bribe two African officials to purchase oil rights on behalf of CEFC China Energy. Ho’s meetings with the African officials were arranged by Vuk Jeremic, the CEFC China Energy consultant who contacted Hunter Biden about working with the firm in late 2015.

House Republicans have sought interviews with Jeremic, a former Serbian foreign minister, but he has declined the request.

The indictment provides other details about CEFC China Energy’s ties to the Chinese government, and covert activities aimed at helping Beijing.

According to prosecutors, Luft claimed that CEFC China Energy chairman Ye Jinming "has very close relations with President Xi Jinping." Hunter Biden met Ye numerous times, including at Ye’s house in Miami in February 2017, where Ye gave him an $80,000 diamond. Hunter Biden wrote a letter to Ye on June 1, 2017, offering "best wishes from my family and I."

"We are all hoping to see you here again soon, or in Shanghai," Biden wrote. He also touted "top relationships we have with the leaders both politically and economically in countries you are interested in expanding into."

Hunter Biden seemingly acknowledged concerns that CEFC China Energy was linked to the Chinese government. He referred to Patrick Ho as the "fucking spy chief of China" in audio recordings in 2018. In May 2017 text messages, Hunter Biden said that he wanted to avoid registering work for CEFC China Energy under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, the same law that Luft is now accused of violating.
Neither Hunter Biden nor Woolsey, who served as Clinton’s CIA chief until 1995, have been charged with any crimes related to their work for CEFC China Energy.

I got the idea for this thread from a post I made in "The Internet is dead, long live the Internet" thread by EndtheMadnessNow here on R-N. I've been posting it all over including ATS.

If you participate in a private secure local area network or mesh network, Nord VPN wants you to use their app instead.

People trust Nord VPN to keep their internet activities secure and anonymous, so why not let them direct and control your LAN or decentralized mesh network? Well, because it will no longer be local or decentralized will it? If one device in your already established LAN or mesh-net is using the Nord VPN Meshnet app, the entire network has potentially been compromised. It could be infiltrated and under central control. Diabolical and insidious, it's evil genius. In fact, if you do a search with the keyword "mesh net" to understand mesh networking, Nord VPN comes up first and dominates the first page. 

Quote:What is Meshnet?
Meshnet is a way to safely access other devices, no matter where in the world they are. Once set up, Meshnet functions just like a secure local area network (LAN) — it connects devices directly. This makes Meshnet a great fit for activities that require high speed, low latency, and advanced security — activities like file sharing, active work collaborations, and intense multiplayer gaming.

. . . Meshnet: simply convenient Here are just some great things that Meshnet offers for your online life. Link up to 60 devices Create secure private networks from up to 10 devices you own and up to 50 external devices. No configuration needed Simply switch Meshnet on and invite your friends to your network using their unique Meshnet name. Traffic routing Let your friends access the internet using your device’s IP address — just like if you were a VPN server.

Quote:Is Meshnet free?
Yes, Meshnet comes free — simply download and start using it! Meshnet was created by NordVPN, so all NordVPN users can find Meshnet in their NordVPN apps for every major platform.

Can I share files with someone who doesn’t have Meshnet?
No, but anyone can download and use Meshnet for free. Sharing files costs nothing with Meshnet.

My case last night was another case of human trafficking. There are as many reasons as there are stars at how people get caught in this trap.

Trying to make sense out of it seems impossible. Mainly because most of the time the victim is looking for someone that is going to do something for them they feel they cannot do for themselves.

I think a huge way to avoid some of the traps is for people to learn and to teach their children that there no knight in shinning armor. There is no "man" that is going to fix them, the world, or others. There is no "man" that is going to save them or the world. When Jesus returns it will be known to all at once and every knee will bow.

Those that are being led to believe that any "man" is God, Savior, or Divine, it is a cult. As shown in this video, the number of those fooled, brainwashed, or supporting the lie, means nothing. A lie, a deception, is a lie and a deception, no matter how it is promoted or dressed.

This video is just one in a million. 

I found this interesting. At least something to think about.

My pet peeve is people blaming everything and anything on others, without ever stopping to think about how their personal thoughts, beliefs, and actions may have contributed to the problem.

So this resonated with me a little bit.
