newswars--2020-05-01--US Waiving Visa Interviews for Some Agricultural Workers

The coronavirus pandemic has raised concerns among growers in the agricultural industry about not having enough farmworkers to assist with the year ’ s harvest .
So the U.S. government is allowing for an extension of visas for agricultural workers already in the country , and officials also authorized consular officers to adjudicate some H-2A visa applicants without in-person interviews .
A State Department spokesperson confirmed through email Wednesday that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had consulted with Department of Homeland Security officials and had authorized consular officers to waive the visa interview requirement for first-time and returning H-2A applicants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ineligibility .
“ We anticipate the vast majority of otherwise qualified H-2A applicants will now be adjudicated without an interview .
All applicants undergo the same security checks , regardless of whether they are interviewed or processed via interview waiver , ” the spokesperson said .
Nonimmigrant visas such as the H-2A allow farmers to hire workers from other countries for temporary agricultural work .
However , the State Department official said if the screening process determines the worker ineligible for the visa , the applicant must have an in-person interview .
Because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enough agricultural workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic , the U.S. Department of Agriculture and DHS announced measures on April 15 to loosen visa restrictions on those already in the country .
As planting season looms , Fred Leitz of Leitz Farms in Sodus Township , Michigan , said the administration ’ s announcement was welcome , as his operation has been using temporary workers for the past five years .
“ We get about 178 H-2A workers , and we have 40 or 50 domestic workers that work for us also , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his company follows social distancing guidelines , wearing masks at all times , especially if there is a need to be close to someone .
“ I hope to be here doing something like this next year .
I hope that we can make enough money to pay our bills .
If we can just do that this year , I ’ ll be happy , ” he said .
He also said his workers do not have “ real ” close contact with others until the job gets to the packing lines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michael Marsh , president of the National Council of Agricultural Employers , said most of the growers were “ very pleased ” they have an opportunity to have a workforce this year .
“ We have workers that are here that would like to transfer onto another contract , and historically , we have not been able to do that because of the structure of the regulations .
So , being able to have those people stay longer and transfer more quickly onto a new contract is very welcome news , ” Marsh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States has been dealing with agricultural labor shortages for years , and that the country needs to have temporary farmworkers .
According to the USDA , one of the indicators of this need is the fact that the number of temporary workers requested and approved has increased in the past 14 years from 48,000 positions certified in fiscal year 2005 to nearly 258,000 in fiscal year 2019 .
“ The average duration of an H-2A certification in FY 2019 was 5.3 months , implying that the 258,000 positions certified represented approximately 114,000 full-year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Leitz acknowledged critics who say farmers should not be bringing in temporary workers during times of high unemployment .
“ What they don ’ t factor in is when people start going back to work , then I lose the workforce … and I can ’ t plant a crop and not be certain of the workforce I ’ m going to have , ” he said .
Leitz explained that the bulk of his harvest occurs in July , August , September and part of October .
“ And all of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] go back to their full-time jobs and I ’ ve got nobody .
That ’ s not a very good way to run a business , ” he said .
Diane Kurrle , senior vice president at the U.S. Apple Association , told VOA the H-2A programs are the agricultural industry ’ s “ Plan B.
” “ Even when I started working with the industry about a dozen years ago , it was much more reliant on a domestic workforce .
But there are just fewer and fewer of those people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And so , throughout the years , we ’ ve increasingly relied on H-2A workers , ” Kurrle said .
Though streamlining the process to bring workers to the U.S. and temporarily changing restrictions on visas for those already in the country is welcomed , some in the industry worry that it is not enough to address the “ stability ” of the farm labor force or the health and economic risks to essential farmworkers .
Bruce Goldstein , president of the national advocacy group Farmworker Justice , said in a statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not receiving adequate information or protection against COVID-19 .
“ The administration has done nothing to require H-2A program employers to provide safety and health protections or access to sick leave or health care , ” Goldstein said .
In Michigan , Leitz said they are being proactive and are doing everything they can to protect temporary workers and those who stay year-round .
The company has stocked up on gloves , cleaning supplies and masks .

A State Department spokesperson confirmed through email Wednesday that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had consulted with Department of Homeland Security officials and had authorized consular officers to waive the visa interview requirement for first-time and returning H-2A applicants who have no apparent ineligibility or potential ineligibility.
“We anticipate the vast majority of otherwise qualified H-2A applicants will now be adjudicated without an interview. All applicants undergo the same security checks, regardless of whether they are interviewed or processed via interview waiver,” the spokesperson said.
Nonimmigrant visas such as the H-2A allow farmers to hire workers from other countries for temporary agricultural work. However, the State Department official said if the screening process determines the worker ineligible for the visa, the applicant must have an in-person interview.
Because of growers’ uncertainty about not having enough agricultural workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and DHS announced measures on April 15 to loosen visa restrictions on those already in the country.

“We get about 178 H-2A workers, and we have 40 or 50 domestic workers that work for us also,” Leitz said.
Leitz Farms grows blueberries, cucumbers, tomatoes and apples.
Leitz told VOA that his company follows social distancing guidelines, wearing masks at all times, especially if there is a need to be close to someone.
“I hope to be here doing something like this next year. I hope that we can make enough money to pay our bills. If we can just do that this year, I’ll be happy,” he said.
He also said his workers do not have “real” close contact with others until the job gets to the packing lines, which begin around June 20.
Michael Marsh, president of the National Council of Agricultural Employers, said most of the growers were “very pleased” they have an opportunity to have a workforce this year.
“We have workers that are here that would like to transfer onto another contract, and historically, we have not been able to do that because of the structure of the regulations. So, being able to have those people stay longer and transfer more quickly onto a new contract is very welcome news,” Marsh said.
Marsh added that the United States has been dealing with agricultural labor shortages for years, and that the country needs to have temporary farmworkers.
According to the USDA, one of the indicators of this need is the fact that the number of temporary workers requested and approved has increased in the past 14 years from 48,000 positions certified in fiscal year 2005 to nearly 258,000 in fiscal year 2019.
“The average duration of an H-2A certification in FY 2019 was 5.3 months, implying that the 258,000 positions certified represented approximately 114,000 full-year equivalents,” the USDA website shows.
Leitz acknowledged critics who say farmers should not be bringing in temporary workers during times of high unemployment.
“What they don’t factor in is when people start going back to work, then I lose the workforce … and I can’t plant a crop and not be certain of the workforce I’m going to have,” he said.
Leitz explained that the bulk of his harvest occurs in July, August, September and part of October.
“And all of a sudden, they [unemployed Americans] go back to their full-time jobs and I’ve got nobody. That’s not a very good way to run a business,” he said.
Diane Kurrle, senior vice president at the U.S. Apple Association, told VOA the H-2A programs are the agricultural industry’s “Plan B.”
“Even when I started working with the industry about a dozen years ago, it was much more reliant on a domestic workforce. But there are just fewer and fewer of those people available and willing to take these jobs. And so, throughout the years, we’ve increasingly relied on H-2A workers,” Kurrle said.

Panic over Joe Biden’s viability as Democrat nominee for president has begun sweeping through Democrat circles, with some suggesting that Hillary Clinton could jump in to replace him with Barack Obama as her running mate, according to a Washington insider.
Douglas Mackinnon, a former writer for presidents George H.W. and Ronald Reagan, penned an editorial for The Hill on Saturday revealing that many Democrats are secretly worried about Biden’s presidential prospects.
“Some Democrats tell me they fear that Biden’s political survival is getting more problematic with each passing day,” Mackinnon wrote. “They cite three main issues. The first is their concern that an allegation of sexual assault leveled against Biden by former staffer Tara Reade won’t go away anytime soon. If anything, it appears to be about to gain a new life.”
“Next, they worry that another shoe could drop regarding questions related to Biden’s son Hunter and his business dealings. Lastly, some Democrats are concerned about Biden’s age and possible cognitive issues — a concern that some also have expressed about Trump.”
Mackinnon then says Clinton and Obama could swoop in to save the nomination, simply because the left views such a ticket as formidable against President Trump.
“Who might be in consideration to become the new nominee — and who would be selected as the vice presidential running mate? Several likely combinations come to mind, starting in many minds with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but one particular, truly out-of-the-box combination stops the discussion in its tracks: Hillary Clinton as the nominee and Barack Obama as her running mate,” he wrote.

Though the Constitution’s 12th and 22nd Amendments could present a hurdle for Obama to be reelected to the White House, Mackinnon says Democrats would nevertheless try to make it happen if Biden failed to bring confidence to the party heading into November.
“The operative word here might be ‘elected.’ If Obama were selected as Clinton’s running mate, and she had to leave office for any reason, then Obama would succeed her. At least one constitutional expert is on record saying there is nothing to prevent such a scenario,” he concluded.

newswars--2020-05-02--Here Are The Key Findings From The Bombshell Government Dossier On China’s Bat Virus Program

A leaked dossier compiled by Western intelligence agencies concludes that China lied and deliberately suppressed or destroyed evidence during the crucial early days of the COVID-19 outbreak , and notes that Chinese researchers have been experimenting with – and creating – deadly bat coronaviruses .
Here are key findings from the 15-page report compiled by Western governments known as the ‘ Five Eyes , ’ according to Australia ’ s Daily Telegraph .
A key theme of the dossier is that China ’ s negligence and lies resulted in the “ endangerment of other countries , ” as the CCP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spoke out .
Doctors who bravely spoke out about the new virus were detained and condemned .
Their detentions were splashed across the Chinese-state media with a call from Wuhan Police for “ all citizens to not fabricate rumours , not spread rumours , not believe rumours.

A leaked dossier compiled by Western intelligence agencies concludes that China lied and deliberately suppressed or destroyed evidence during the crucial early days of the COVID-19 outbreak, and notes that Chinese researchers have been experimenting with – and creating – deadly bat coronaviruses.
Here are key findings from the 15-page report compiled by Western governments known as the ‘Five Eyes,’ according to Australia’s Daily Telegraph.
The great coverup
A key theme of the dossier is that China’s negligence and lies resulted in the “endangerment of other countries,” as the CCP silenced or ‘disappeared’ doctors who spoke out.
Doctors who bravely spoke out about the new virus were detained and condemned. Their detentions were splashed across the Chinese-state media with a call from Wuhan Police for “all citizens to not fabricate rumours, not spread rumours, not believe rumours.” A tweet from the Global Times on January 2 states: “Police in Central China’s Wuhan arrested 8 people spreading rumours about local outbreak of unidentifiable #pneumonia. Previous online posts said it was SARS.” This had the intended effect of silencing other doctors who may have been inclined to speak out. –Daily Telegraph
Furthermore, evidence was destroyed, and China refused to provide live samples to international scientists working on a vaccine.
The paper obtained by The Saturday Telegraph speaks about “the suppression and destruction of evidence” and points to “virus samples ordered destroyed at genomics labs, wildlife market stalls bleached, the genome sequence not shared publicly, the Shanghai lab closure for ‘rectification’, academic articles subjected to prior review by the Ministry of Science and Technology and data on asymptomatic ‘silent carriers’ kept secret”. –Daily Telegraph
China’s deadly denials
The dossier slams China’s constant lies about the virus, noting that “Despite evidence of human-human transmission from early December, PRC authorities deny it until January 20,” adding “The World Health Organisation does the same. Yet officials in Taiwan raised concerns as early as December 31, as did experts in Hong Kong on January 4.”
China also imposed internal travel bans while condemning the rest of the world for wanting to do the same.
“Millions of people leave Wuhan after the outbreak and before Beijing locks down the city on January 23,” reads the dossier. “Thousands fly overseas. Throughout February, Beijing presses the US, Italy, India, Australia, Southeast Asian neighbours and others not to protect themselves via travel restrictions, even as the PRC imposes severe restrictions at home.”
The dossier also notes that China successfully pressured the EU to strike language about PRC disinformation, and has threatened Australia for continuing to investigate.
“As Australia calls for an independent inquiry into the pandemic, PRC threatens to cut off trade with Australia. PRC has likewise responded furiously to US calls for transparency.”
Engineered?
While the leaked dossier does not reach a conclusion whether COVID-19 is of natural origin or engineered, it includes a February 6 study from the South China University of Technology which suggested “the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.
The paper was withdrawn due to what its lead author said was a lack of direct evidence, however the dossier notes that scholar Yanzhong Huang said on March 5 “No scientists have confirmed or refuted the paper’s findings.”
That said, the Telegraph notes that the official US position is that the virus was not engineered, but that it escaped from either the Wuhan Institute of Virology or the Chinese CDC, which is located roughly 900 feet from the Wuhan wet market from which a cluster of early cases emerged.
A Senior Intelligence Source tells me there is agreement among most of the 17 Intelligence agencies that COVID-19 originated in the Wuhan lab. The source stressed that the release is believed to be a MISTAKE, and was not intentional. — John Roberts (@johnrobertsFox) May 2, 2020
“The Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified,” said acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell, adding “The IC will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.”
China’s ‘risky bat research’ and creation of deadly viruses
While the international scientific consensus is that COVID-19 wasn’t manmade, the Western intelligence dossier highlights research by scientists Shi Zhengli and her protégé Peng Zhou, whose work on bat coronavirus Zero Hedge highlighted in January, and who were modifying bat coronavirus to test its transmissibility to other species.
Shi Zhengli, director of the Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Wuhan Institute of Virology, who working in Australia in 2006.
It notes a 2013 study conducted by a team of researchers, including Dr Shi, who collected a sample of horseshoe bat faeces from a cave in Yunnan province, China, which was later found to contain a virus 96.2 per cent identical to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused COVID-19. The research dossier also references work done by the team to synthesise SARS-like coronaviruses, to analyse whether they could be transmissible from bats to mammals. This means they were altering parts of the virus to test whether it was transmissible to different species . –Daily Telegraph
A November 2015 study from Zhengli and her team in conjunction with the University of North Carolina concluded that the SARS-like coronavirus could jump directly from bats to humans, and there is currently no cure or treatment.
The Western dossier notes from the study: “To examine the emergence potential (that is, the potential to infect humans) of circulating bat CoVs, we built a chimeric virus encoding a novel, zoonotic CoV spike protein — from the RsSHCO14-CoV sequence that was isolated from Chinese horseshoe bats — in the context of the SARS-CoV mouse-adapted backbone.”
“This virus is highly pathogenic and treatments developed against the original SARS virus in 2002 and the ZMapp drugs used to fight ebola fail to neutralise and control this particular virus,” said North Carolina University Professor Ralph Baric, a co-author on the 2015 paper.
A few years later, in March 2019, Dr Shi and her team, including Peng Zhou, who worked in Australia for five years, published a review titled Bat Coronaviruses in China in the medical journal Viruses, where they wrote that they “aim to predict virus hot spots and their cross-species transmission potential”, describing it as a matter of “urgency to study bat coronaviruses in China to understand their potential of causing another outbreak. Their review stated: “It is highly likely that future SARS or MERS like coronavirus outbreaks will originate from bats, and there is an increased probability that this will occur in China.”
The report notes that Dr. Shi’s research continues to this day, telling Scientific American “Bat-borne coronaviruses will cause more outbreaks … We must find them before they find us.”
Zhengli and Zhou’s Australian researchh
Both Shi and Zhou spent three years at Australia’s Animal Health Laboratory – operated by the country’s national science agency CSIRO. Between 2011 and 2014, Zhou arranged for wild bats to be caught and transported alive from Queensland to the lab in Victoria, where they were euthanized, dissected and studied for deadly viruses.
While the United States has since cut all funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, CSIRO refused to acknowledge questions over whether it was still collaborating with lab.
Wuhan lab worker who disappeared…
The Telegraph notes the case of Huang Yan Ling, a researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology who is rumored to be “patient zero” after having been the first to be diagnosed with the disease.
Then came her reported disappearance, with her biography and image deleted from the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s website. On February 16 the institute denied she was patient zero and said she was alive and well, but there has been no proof of life since then, fanning speculation. –Daily Telegraph
Key dates in the coverup:
November 9, 2015: Wuhan Institute of Virology publish a study revealing they created a new virus in the lab from SARS-CoV.
December 6, 2019: Five days after a man linked to Wuhan’s seafood market presented pneumonia-like symptoms, his wife contracts it, suggesting human to human transmission.
December 27: China’s health authorities told a novel disease, then affecting some 180 patients, was caused by a new coronavirus.
December 26-30: Evidence of new virus emerges from Wuhan patient data.
December 31: Chinese internet authorities begin censoring terms from social media such as Wuhan Unknown Pneumonia.
January 1, 2020: Eight Wuhan doctors who warned about new virus are detained and condemned.
January 3: China’s top health authority issues a gag order.
January 5: Wuhan Municipal Health Commission stops releasing daily updates on new cases. Continues until January 18.
January 10: PRC official Wang Guangfa says outbreak “under control” and mostly a “mild condition”.
January 12: Professor Zhang Yongzhen’s lab in Shanghai is closed by authorities for “rectification”, one day after it shares genomic sequence data with the world for the first time.
January 14: PRC National Health Commission chief Ma Xiaowei privately warns colleagues the virus is likely to develop into a major public health event.
January 24: Officials in Beijing prevent the Wuhan Institute of Virology from sharing sample isolates with the University of Texas.
February 6: China’s internet watchdog tightens controls on social media platforms.
February 9: Citizen-journalist and local businessman Fang Bin disappears.
April 17: Wuhan belatedly raises its official fatalities by 1290.
Trump recently confirmed to the press that the COVID-19 virus emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, and shames the W.H.O. for being press agents for the ChiComs.

Trump previously stated of the WHO ’ s failures to adequately warn about the pandemic : “ The WHO failed to investigate credible reports from sources in Wuhan that conflicted directly with the Chinese government ’ s official accounts , ” he had said at the time .
Adding to the bizarre saga , it prompted a statement out of The Lego Group distancing the company from the production : “ We weren ’ t involved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As a toy company , we ’ re focusing on bringing play to children and families , ” the Lego company said .
Critics fired back at the animation propaganda , noting that while many of the quotes are real , they ’ re presented out of context and not according to a proper timeline .

China: We discovered a new virus.
America: So what? China: It’s Dangerous
America: It’s only a Flu China: Wear a Mask
America: Don’t wear a Mask

Trump previously stated of the WHO’s failures to adequately warn about the pandemic: “The WHO failed to investigate credible reports from sources in Wuhan that conflicted directly with the Chinese government’s official accounts,” he had said at the time.
Adding to the bizarre saga, it prompted a statement out of The Lego Group distancing the company from the production: “We weren’t involved in making the animation in any way. As a toy company, we’re focusing on bringing play to children and families,” the Lego company said.
Critics fired back at the animation propaganda, noting that while many of the quotes are real, they’re presented out of context and not according to a proper timeline.
Conveniently absent from the state media ‘narrative’ is the glaring and scandalous fact that China arrested the very doctor who was the earliest to try and warn his country as the severity. We’d like to see a Lego cartoon about that one.

newswars--2020-05-02--Harvard Professor Suspended for Trying to ‘Rehabilitate’ Public Image of Jeffrey Epstein

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal has been characterised by plot twists and turns , as a number of high-profile individuals , such as the UK ’ s Prince Andrew , became implicated .
Now , an unlikely Harvard professor is under the spotlight for his role .
A Harvard University Mathematics and Biology professor has been suspended from his job following revelations that he took steps to help convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein “ rehabilitate his image ” following the financier ’ s 2008 sex-crime conviction .
Martin Nowak , a renowned faculty member at Harvard , was found by a university @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Mr Epstein during which the latter was given privileged access to the building housing the university ’ s evolutionary dynamics programme .
Access to the Ivy League institution also allegedly included a private office for Epstein simply known as “ Jeffrey ’ s Office ” , which came equipped with its own telephone line .
Epstein was also alleged to have held a number of private dinners at the offices , where he would quiz academics on eugenics .
Between the years 1998-2007 , Epstein donated more than $ 9.1 million to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well known on campus among staff .
According to a letter by Diane E. Lopez , Harvard general counsel , Epstein ’ s biggest donation was in 2003 , when he gave approximately $ 6.5 million to help establish the same evolutionary dynamics programme that he would later work from with the help of Mr Nowak .
The report sheds light upon how that large donation helped to cultivate a working relationship between Epstein and Mr Nowak : “ the largest of his [ Epstein ’ s ] gifts , a $ 6.5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harvard ’ s Program for Evolutionary Dynamics… led by Professor Martin Nowak .
Epstein ’ s $ 6.5 million gift to PED enabled Harvard and Professor Nowak to create and pay for a separate research facility for PED in a Harvard Square office building leased from a private owner ” .
Mr Nowak was , the Harvard report concludes , attempting to “ rehabilitate ” Epstein ’ s public image “ in some cases with false claims about his level of giving to Harvard ” following a verdict in 2008 that found Epstein @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prostitution .
While Harvard University decided to officially sever ties with Epstein following that damning verdict , Mr Nowak reportedly continued to maintain a close relationship with the disgraced billionaire .
According to the findings , between 2010 and 2018 Epstein visited the university “ more than 40 times ” .
“ Professor Nowak took no steps to conceal Epstein ’ s visits to PED ” , the 27-page report says , adding that many Harvard faculty members were aware of Epstein ’ s frequent visits .
“ Epstein ’ s visits came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of researchers who worked at PED told Nowak they objected to Epstein ’ s visits to PED and , more generally , his relationship with the programme ” , the report adds .
According to The New York Times in July 2019 , Mr Epstein had told a number of leading scientists that he had an interest in eugenics because he wanted to “ seed the human race with his DNA ” by impregnating “ 20 women at a time ” at his sprawling ranch in New Mexico .
Per the Harvard report @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relationship with Mr Nowak from prison after being indicted in July 2019 on federal charges of the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York .
Epstein killed himself by hanging in prison in last August while awaiting trial on these latest charges .
