thedcclothesline--2020-01-30--California Sued After Concealing $320 Billion In Annual State Payments

Just a few of the serious financial problems facing California include unfunded public employee pension promises , a potential state credit downgrade , an unprecedented homeless crisis , and a net out-migration of 912,000 residents since 2010 .
One easy step California can take is to join every other state in the union and open up its state checkbook for review .
Allowing citizens , journalists , watchdogs , academics , and public policy experts to review state spending would help the state get its fiscal house in order .
Unfortunately , last fall , California State Controller Betty Yee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the state checkbook .
Oddly , the rejection didn ’ t argue the law , but instead claimed that the controller couldn ’ t locate a single one of the 49 million bills she paid last year .

That state ’ s feigned tech illiteracy begs the question : What are they trying to hide ?

Unfortunately, last fall, California State Controller Betty Yee (pictured) rejected our sunshine request for the state checkbook. Oddly, the rejection didn’t argue the law, but instead claimed that the controller couldn’t locate a single one of the 49 million bills she paid last year.
This admission provides a troubling clue to California taxpayers who are wondering how and where their money is being spent. The answer is the people spending it literally don’t know. Or they at least say that don’t.
It is of course unimaginable, and laughable, that the state that is home to Silicon Valley can’t put basic transparency tech in place. That state’s feigned tech illiteracy begs the question: What are they trying to hide?
Taxpayers in California certainly want to know what’s happening to state funds. It shouldn’t take subpoenas and litigation to “find” up to $320 billion in annual state payments and show taxpayers how their money was spent.
So, our organization at OpenTheBooks.com, alongside our attorneys at Cause of Action Institute, a government oversight organization, filed an open records lawsuit in Sacramento state court. Our lawsuit begins the process of forcing open the state’s line-by-line expenditures.
We’ve never lost a state checkbook transparency fight. In 2012, we successfully sued Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka (R), and, in 2018, we sued Wyoming State Auditor Cynthia Cloud (R).
We believe the open government movement is revolutionizing U.S. public policy and politics. Just like the microscope transformed medicine, big data is modernizing government.
The purpose of transparency isn’t to scold state officials but to encourage accountability, trust, and better public policy. Here are just three of many critical issues facing the Golden State that could be improved by transparency:
State credit rating: The state auditor just issued a report saying the state’s $1.1 billion accounting system (FisCal) is so flawed that it could lead to a state credit downgrade.
Corruption: Controller Yee claims that 99.7 percent of all state payments were properly paid even though she told us she can’t find her receipts. Betty Yee is probably the only one of 40 million Californians who believes state government is that efficient, effective, and honest. Yee estimates the state only loses a mere 0.3 percent (less than one-third of one percent) of state dollars every year through waste, abuse, and fiscal mismanagement. The state’s myriad problems suggest this is a fantasy.
Homeless populations: a 2014 state proposition taxed millionaires to provide funds for mental health services. How did San Francisco — home to 7,500 homeless people — manage its funds? Last summer, we published an interactive poop map featuring 130,000 instances of human waste in the public way, which is in part connected to the state’s homeless problem
California, a state whose $3 trillion GDP ranks it ahead of the United Kingdom, spends an enormous sum of money. The state spends more than $320 billion per year with federal taxpayers funding $106 billion of it. If taxpayers can’t follow the money, it will be hard for the state to address its mounting fiscal challenges.
Every state across America can produce a complete checkbook of public expenditures. Are we just dreamin’ to believe that California can produce a full record too?

From a Washington Post article trying to claim some nonsense about Rudy helping a middle eastern Princess regain custody of her child, to his efforts to exonerate his client while in the Ukraine, you name it, the DS has tried to use it as a weapon against Mr. Giuliani.
There is only one logical explanation for this, Rudy know where the metaphorical (hopefully) bodies of the DS’ victims are buried. Many of them seem to be in Ukraine. This is why I am yet to understand why the Democrats seem to have chosen this hill to die on.
The Gateway Pundit reported:
‘Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani taunted the Deep State-Democrat-media complex Sunday morning and said he will be sharing evidence he “has garnered through hundreds of hours of research.”
“Stay tuned,” Rudy said building anticipation.
And boy did he deliver.
Rudy revealed a huge money laundering operation involving the Bidens and Burisma Holdings. Money was flowing through Latvia and Cyprus disguised as loans to various tech companies then paid out as ‘board fees’ to Hunter Biden.
“That is a straight out violation of a money laundering statute,” Giuliani said.
Giuliani revealed that there is documents showing Schiff’s star witness, fired US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch perjured herself at least twice during her impeachment testimony.
Documents prove Yovanovitch was personally involved in the Ukrainian prosecutor general’s investigations and denied visas to witnesses who could prove Biden, Dem corruption, Giuliani said.
Witness Yuri Lutsenko, the inheritor of prosecutor general Viktor Shokin’s office told Giuliani that Yovanovitch was sent information showing that $7 BILLION went to the US in a possible money laundering scheme to a firm called “Franklin Templeton Investments,” she refused to him help by connecting him to American law enforcement.

Take a recent poll from Fox News allegedly showing that by a +19 margin, Americans want the president removed from office via impeachment.
The trouble is that the result is an outlier — and by a wide margin.
Every other survey in recent weeks shows Americans convincingly do not want the president removed from office.
“In fact, you have to go back to mid-January to find another poll that even puts it at +2, much less +19,” noted Red State, which adds:
How’d they get that result? One of the issues is that the sample came out to 48% Democrat, which is a laughable number given that partisan identification is on a downward trend. In no other survey do 48% of Americans identify as Democrats.

Long-time news anchor Shepard Smith is gone after essentially turning on President Trump and Republicans. Another network stalwart, Chris Wallace, is increasingly hostile to the president and Republicans — and obviously so. Ditto for regular contributor and legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano.
The prime-time line-up of Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham remains solidly conservative in perspective, and they are dominating their time slots.

thedcclothesline--2020-01-30--Is coronavirus a manufactured bioweapon that Chinese spies stole from Canada?

( Natural News ) In 2019 , a mysterious shipment sent from Canada to China was found to contain hidden coronavirus , which Chinese agents working at a Canadian laboratory reportedly stole , obviously without permission .
Reports reveal that these Chinese agents were working undercover for the Chinese Biological Warfare Program , and may have infiltrated North America for the sole purpose of hijacking this deadly virus in order to unleash it at a later date .
That unleashing could be the coronavirus outbreak that ’ s currently dominating media headlines – with as many as 44,000 people now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contaminated food sold at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan , China – and here ’ s why .
It was back on June 13 , 2012 , when a 60-year-old man from Saudi Arabia was admitted to a private hospital in Jeddah with a seven-day affliction of fever , cough , expectoration and shortness of breath .
The man had no known history of cardiopulmonary or renal disease , was on no medications , and didn ’ t smoke , and tests revealed that he had become infected with a previously unknown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - story continues below However , tests could not reveal where the man had contracted coronavirus .
So , Dr. Ali Mohamed Zaki , the Egyptian virologist who was caring for the man , contacted Ron Fouchier , a premier virologist at the Erasmus Medical Center ( EMC ) in Rotterdam , The Netherlands , for advice .
Fouchier proceeded to sequence a sample of the virus sent to him by Dr. Zaki using a broad-spectrum “ pan-coronavirus ” real-time polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR ) method to distinguish it from other strains @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Dr. Frank Plummer , the Scientific Director of Canada ’ s National Microbiology Laboratory ( NML ) in Winnipeg , on May 4 , 2013 , where it was replicated for assessment and diagnostic purposes .
Scientists in Winnipeg proceeded to test this strain of coronavirus on animals to see which species could catch it .
This research was done in conjunction with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency ’ s national lab , as well as with the National Centre for Foreign Animal Diseases , which is in the same complex as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
NML , it ’ s important to note , has long conducted tests with coronavirus , having isolated and provided the first genome sequence of the SARS coronavirus .
This lab had also identified another type of coronavirus , known as NL63 , back in 2004 .
Formerly respected scientist allowed multiple deadly viruses besides coronavirus to be shipped to China Fast-forward to today , and the recent discovery of the mystery shipment containing coronavirus can be traced all the way back to these samples that were sent to Canada for analysis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was likely stolen as a bioweapon to be released for just such a time as this .
According to reports , the shipment occurred back in March of 2019 , which caused a major scandal with biowarfare experts who questioned why Canada was purportedly sending lethal viruses to China .
It was later discovered in July that Chinese virologists had stolen it , and were forcibly dispatched as a result .
“ The NML is Canada ’ s only level-4 facility and one of only a few in North America equipped to handle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including Ebola , SARS , Coronavirus , etc.
, ” explains a report by Great Game India , as republished by Zero Hedge .
“ The NML scientist who was escorted out of the Canadian lab along with her husband , another biologist , and members of her research team is believed to be a Chinese Bio-Warfare agent Xiangguo Qiu , ” it goes on to explain , adding that Qiu had served as head of the Vaccine Development and Antiviral Therapies Section of the Special Pathogens Program at Canada ’ s NML @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Qiu began studying powerful viruses in 2006 .
In 2014 , many of these viruses she studied , including not only coronavirus but also Machupo , Junin , Rift Valley Fever , Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever , and Hendra , all suddenly appeared in China as part of a massive hijacking .

That unleashing could be the coronavirus outbreak that’s currently dominating media headlines – with as many as 44,000 people now infected – despite blame being assigned to contaminated food sold at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, China – and here’s why.

It was back on June 13, 2012, when a 60-year-old man from Saudi Arabia was admitted to a private hospital in Jeddah with a seven-day affliction of fever, cough, expectoration and shortness of breath. The man had no known history of cardiopulmonary or renal disease, was on no medications, and didn’t smoke, and tests revealed that he had become infected with a previously unknown strain of coronavirus.
However, tests could not reveal where the man had contracted coronavirus. So, Dr. Ali Mohamed Zaki, the Egyptian virologist who was caring for the man, contacted Ron Fouchier, a premier virologist at the Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, for advice.
Fouchier proceeded to sequence a sample of the virus sent to him by Dr. Zaki using a broad-spectrum “pan-coronavirus” real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method to distinguish it from other strains of coronavirus. He then sent it to Dr. Frank Plummer, the Scientific Director of Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg, on May 4, 2013, where it was replicated for assessment and diagnostic purposes.
Scientists in Winnipeg proceeded to test this strain of coronavirus on animals to see which species could catch it. This research was done in conjunction with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s national lab, as well as with the National Centre for Foreign Animal Diseases, which is in the same complex as the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML).
NML, it’s important to note, has long conducted tests with coronavirus, having isolated and provided the first genome sequence of the SARS coronavirus. This lab had also identified another type of coronavirus, known as NL63, back in 2004.
Formerly respected scientist allowed multiple deadly viruses besides coronavirus to be shipped to China
Fast-forward to today, and the recent discovery of the mystery shipment containing coronavirus can be traced all the way back to these samples that were sent to Canada for analysis, suggesting that the current coronavirus outbreak was likely stolen as a bioweapon to be released for just such a time as this.
According to reports, the shipment occurred back in March of 2019, which caused a major scandal with biowarfare experts who questioned why Canada was purportedly sending lethal viruses to China. It was later discovered in July that Chinese virologists had stolen it, and were forcibly dispatched as a result.
“The NML is Canada’s only level-4 facility and one of only a few in North America equipped to handle the world’s deadliest diseases, including Ebola, SARS, Coronavirus, etc.,” explains a report by Great Game India, as republished by Zero Hedge.
“The NML scientist who was escorted out of the Canadian lab along with her husband, another biologist, and members of her research team is believed to be a Chinese Bio-Warfare agent Xiangguo Qiu,” it goes on to explain, adding that Qiu had served as head of the Vaccine Development and Antiviral Therapies Section of the Special Pathogens Program at Canada’s NML.
A formerly respected scientist in China, Qiu began studying powerful viruses in 2006. In 2014, many of these viruses she studied, including not only coronavirus but also Machupo, Junin, Rift Valley Fever, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, and Hendra, all suddenly appeared in China as part of a massive hijacking.

thedcclothesline--2020-01-30--A Week Ago There Were 547 Coronavirus Cases In China. Now There Are 7,711.

This coronavirus outbreak continues to grow at an exponential rate .
In fact , the number of cases is 14 times larger than it was just one week ago .
Needless to say , if the number of cases continues to escalate at this pace , we are going to have a horrifying global pandemic of epic proportions on our hands very rapidly .
But hopefully that won ’ t happen .
Hopefully the measures that global authorities have taken to slow the spread of the virus will work .
But we are definitely in a race against time , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this outbreak under control shortly we could soon be facing a worst case scenario .
As I was doing research for this article , I decided to find out how many confirmed cases there were in China one week ago .
According to CNN , there were 547 as of last Wednesday… take our poll - story continues below Now as I am writing this , the number of confirmed cases has officially risen to 7,711 .
The following comes from USA Today… It seems like just yesterday we were talking about how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surpass the SARS epidemic .
But now it has already happened .
And the truth is that it has become exceedingly clear that the official numbers coming out of China are being greatly suppressed .
In fact , Breitbart is reporting that the Chinese government “ is significantly limiting access to testing kits ” … The Epoch Times , a U.S.-based newspaper that often focuses on human rights abuses committed by the Communist Party of China , cited interviews on Monday with an unnamed “ insider ” and an “ independent journalist ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Chinese doctors were not testing people who requested it showing symptoms of infection .
The party is significantly limiting access to testing kits , which makes it more difficult to confirm cases of novel coronavirus — thus suppressing the official number of known cases of the disease .
“ Medical personnel at these hospitals [ in Wuhan ] have said that the number of kits they are supplied is less than 10 percent of what they need to test patients , ” the Epoch Times noted .
“ Now these hospitals claim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provide treatment only , and they will not perform any diagnoses .
Patients who are seeking a diagnosis are unable to get one and find themselves in a desperate situation.
” This confirms what others have been reporting as well .
Hordes of sick people have been flooding the hospitals in Wuhan , but many of them are being turned away without ever being tested .
In addition , multiple reports indicate that the death toll is being greatly understated as well .
One journalist that has been reporting on this is William @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of death is being recorded as “ severe pneumonia ” in order to keep the official death toll down .
We aren ’ t being given accurate information , and that should make all of us very angry .
According to researchers at the University of Hong Kong , the true number of coronavirus cases in the city of Wuhan alone is probably “ closer to 44,000 ” … And according to a study of actual patients at a Wuhan hospital , if honest numbers were being used the true mortality rate would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ 170 deaths ” , the truth is that the actual death toll has probably already surpassed 4,000 .
According to one woman that claims to be a medical worker in Wuhan , victims are literally “ dying right in front of our eyes ” … Ultimately , we should not expect the Chinese government to tell us the truth because they have never been particularly honest in the past .
But what we do know is that cases are starting to appear all over the globe .
In fact , over the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alarming number of “ potential cases ” pop up all across the United States .
If this virus starts spreading as rapidly in this country as it has in China , we are going to be facing a public health crisis unlike anything we have ever seen in modern American history .

In fact , many Americans seem to think that this coronavirus has something to do with “ Corona beer ” … Hopefully this outbreak will eventually blow over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But these are definitely not “ normal ” times , and 2020 is likely to become even more chaotic in the months ahead .
If this virus starts spreading like wildfire in the U.S. like it is currently doing in many parts of China , all of our lives will dramatically change .

Now as I am writing this, the number of confirmed cases has officially risen to 7,711. The following comes from USA Today…
The number of confirmed infections across China has risen to 7,711, resulting in 170 deaths. By comparison, there were 5,327 cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in China during the 2002-2003 outbreak, although that virus was more deadly, claiming 349 lives.
It seems like just yesterday we were talking about how this outbreak had the potential to eventually surpass the SARS epidemic.
But now it has already happened.
Wow.
And the truth is that it has become exceedingly clear that the official numbers coming out of China are being greatly suppressed. In fact, Breitbart is reporting that the Chinese government “is significantly limiting access to testing kits”…
The Epoch Times, a U.S.-based newspaper that often focuses on human rights abuses committed by the Communist Party of China, cited interviews on Monday with an unnamed “insider” and an “independent journalist” within Wuhan, both of whom said that Chinese doctors were not testing people who requested it showing symptoms of infection. The party is significantly limiting access to testing kits, which makes it more difficult to confirm cases of novel coronavirus — thus suppressing the official number of known cases of the disease. “Medical personnel at these hospitals [in Wuhan] have said that the number of kits they are supplied is less than 10 percent of what they need to test patients,” the Epoch Times noted. “Now these hospitals claim that their responsibility at present is to provide treatment only, and they will not perform any diagnoses. Patients who are seeking a diagnosis are unable to get one and find themselves in a desperate situation.”
This confirms what others have been reporting as well. Hordes of sick people have been flooding the hospitals in Wuhan, but many of them are being turned away without ever being tested.
In addition, multiple reports indicate that the death toll is being greatly understated as well. One journalist that has been reporting on this is William Yang…
Also, one thing that #China is hiding is the number of death caused by the virus. Credible Chinese media outlet @initiumnews interviewed people working at local cremation centers, confirming that many dead bodies were sent directly from the hospitals to the cremation centers…
In many cases, the cause of death is being recorded as “severe pneumonia” in order to keep the official death toll down. We aren’t being given accurate information, and that should make all of us very angry.
According to researchers at the University of Hong Kong, the true number of coronavirus cases in the city of Wuhan alone is probably “closer to 44,000”…
Due to the poor handling of the situation, University of Hong Kong medical researchers warned on Monday that the true number of people infected could be closer to 44,000 in Wuhan alone than 5,000. Gabriel Leung, the dean of the university’s medical school, told reporters that the virus could continue spreading into the summer and that world governments must consider “draconian measures” to contain it, particularly in China.
And according to a study of actual patients at a Wuhan hospital, if honest numbers were being used the true mortality rate would be about 11 percent…
The latest clinical report on 2019-nCoV: 99 patients from Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital. Important: a key group of patients progress rapidly to ARDS, septic shock, and multiple organ failure. 23% ITU admission, 17% ARDS, 11% mortality. https://bit.ly/2O7VFe8
So instead of “170 deaths”, the truth is that the actual death toll has probably already surpassed 4,000.
According to one woman that claims to be a medical worker in Wuhan, victims are literally “dying right in front of our eyes”…
“The patients were begging us desperately but we couldn’t do anything. “They are dying right in front of our eyes. “Please take every measure to protect yourselves at home. “Don’t ever trust the government. We are on our own now.”
Ultimately, we should not expect the Chinese government to tell us the truth because they have never been particularly honest in the past.
But what we do know is that cases are starting to appear all over the globe. In fact, over the past few days we have seen an alarming number of “potential cases” pop up all across the United States.

Unfortunately, most Americans still don’t realize what is happening. In fact, many Americans seem to think that this coronavirus has something to do with “Corona beer”…
Just to be clear, there is no connection between the Mexican pale lager and the outbreak—which has infected over 6,000 people in China and killed at least 132. However, this hasn’t stopped online searches for “beer virus,” “corona beer virus,” and “beer coronavirus” from surging across search engines since January 18, according to Google Trends data.
Hopefully this outbreak will eventually blow over and things can return to normal. But these are definitely not “normal” times, and 2020 is likely to become even more chaotic in the months ahead.

Nancy Pelosi was less than dignified Tuesday Night , during President Trump ’ s State of the Union address .
She was downright nasty AFTER his speech concluded .

As Trump finished speaking and most lawmakers stood to applaud , Pelosi stood , took the printed copy of Trump ’ s speech and tore it in half .
She placed the shredded copy in a stack on the dais as Trump made his way to greet members of Congress .
Asked afterward why she tore the speech up , Pelosi told reporters it was “ the courteous thing to do given the alternative.
” The moment capped a tense address from Trump that started when the president appeared to snub @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Pelosi largely seemed to avoid looking at Trump throughout the address , instead reading from his prepared remarks and scanning the room .
She and other Democrats stood and applauded only periodically , even as Republicans regularly gave ovations .
Pelosi could be seen subtly shaking her head “ no ” when Trump pledged to protect Medicare and Social Security as well as rejecting his claim that Democrats want to provide “ unlimited health care ” for undocumented immigrants .
To her credit , she did dress up for the occasion .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ same old “ Wicked Bitch of the West.

Climate change cult leader Elizabeth Warren warned people in September that we only have 11 years left to cut emissions in half or the world will end.
“We’ve got, what? 11 years Maybe…to cut our emissions in half,” Warren said during a CNN climate change town hall in September.
Elizabeth Warren is your typical hypocritical leftist: rules for thee, but not for me.

Celebrity Climate Change hypocrites are the worst.
Oh and don’t forget Barry and Michael…
Most of the cult leaders don’t believe what the cult worshippers do.

If they do believe it, they simply believe that their carbon footprint is vital and those left by you and I are not.
Mostly they are full of crap and Elizabeth Warren is the latest in a long line to prove it.
Not only are they full of crap, they know the danger of letting it out.
These people are seriously not right.
I heard a rumor that Barack sewed Mooch’s backside shut and she/he/it just exploded.
I can’t completely confirm that rumor, but remember you heard it here first.
They don’t call us fake news for nothing. 😉
