An adviser to the Scottish government on COVID-19 has told people that they should wear masks at Christmas dinner during indoor gatherings .
During a press conference , Professor Jason Leitch , Scotland ’ s Senior Clinical Advisor , said he agreed with World Health Organization guidance that people should wear face coverings inside their own homes during the festive season .
“ What they suggest is very sensible .
It says , if you are indoors , with people who are not in your household , you should think about wearing a face covering , ” said Leitch .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Scotland just now .
That should also be true when you have your Christmas celebration if you can possibly do it , ” he added .
People across the UK will be allowed to mingle with up to two other households over a 5 day period from December 23 to December 27 .
However , with the majority of people being locked down under tier 3 restrictions , all bars and restaurants will be closed .
Rumors are also swirling that Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to impose a third nationwide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two apparently worked so well ) .
Earlier this week , the WHO said people meeting their friends and relatives over Christmas should wear masks indoors .
“ Gatherings should be held outside if possible , and participants should wear masks and maintain physical distancing .
If held indoors , limiting group size and ensuring good ventilation to reduce exposure risk are key , ” said the organization .
Quite how people are supposed to eat Christmas dinner while wearing masks wasn ’ t explained .

Christmas is Cancelled

Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang has called for people to be required to prove they ’ ve been vaccinated before entering venues by showing a bar code on their phones .
“ Is there a way for someone to easily show that they have been vaccinated – like a bar code they can download to their phone ?
There ought to be , ” tweeted Yang .
Yang suggested that people could also be given bracelets before they ’ re allowed to “ interact more freely , ” while also suggesting those who don ’ t take the vaccine be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ events .
“ Tough to have mass gatherings like concerts or ballgames without either mass adoption of the vaccine or a means of signaling , ” said Yang .
As we previously highlighted , Ticketmaster is still considering whether to make proof of vaccination a condition of purchase for live events , while several airlines have also said they will refuse service to fliers who have not had the shot .
Earlier we reported on comments made by Gloria Guevara , head of the World Travel and Tourism Council , who suggested that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine it will kill the travel industry .
The consensus amongst respondents to Yang ’ s tweets was far from positive .
“ Every time something like this is suggested , it sounds exactly like “ putting serial numbers on forearms ” or “ yellow cloth stars on your chest ” .
I usually respect you , but you need to chill , ” said one .
“ If this is the kind of world you are truly advocating for , I hope you never gain power , ” added another .

The families of four people who died from COVID-19 are suing EcoHealth alliance, the New York-based nonprofit that was conducting gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China, before COVID-19 broke out across town.
According to the Aug. 2 lawsuit filed before the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, EcoHealth and its president, Peter Daszak, knew the virus was “capable of causing a worldwide pandemic.”
Not only did EcoHealth help to create a ‘genetically manipulated virus,’ the lawsuit claims, it worked to cover up the origins of the outbreak.
“If we had known the source or origin of this virus and had not been misled that it was from a pangolin in a wet market, and rather we knew that it was a genetically manipulated virus, and that the scientists involved were concealing that from our clients, the outcome could have been very different,” victims’ attorney Patricia Finn told the NY Post.
The families of Mary Conroy, of Pennsylvania; Emma D. Holley, of Rochester, NY; Larry Carr, of Crossville, Tennessee; and Raul Osuna, of Bennington, Nebraska, are seeking unspecified damages. “[The families of the deceased] are definitely in mourning, but moreover they’re enraged because the truth of what really happened appears to be coming forward,” Finn added. Paul Rinker, of Pennsylvania, is also suing Midtown-based EcoHealth and Daszak over the “serious injuries” he suffered from his bout with the bug.
Finn is also suing EcoHealth and Daszak in Nassau and Rockland Counties on behalf of the families of other victims killed by the virus, as well as two who survived.
“This particular case is highly offensive because it appears they knew and concealed the origin of the virus,” said Finn, adding “The treatment or approach taken in dealing with the virus could have been radically different than it was.”
Fauci is simply lying here. Zheng-Li Shi's lab at the WIV and EcoHealth Alliance (which administered NIH subawards to Zheng-Li Shi's lab) were absolutely manipulating viruses (using NIAID funds) in order to see which mutations would make them more dangerous to humans. https://t.co/2MD0oM4sWh — Justin B. Kinney (@jbkinney) August 12, 2023
EcoHealth notably received a re-activated grant from the NIH for over $576,000 in May to study how outbreaks of deadly viruses like SARS, MERS, and now COVID-19 originate from wildlife and transfers to humans, despite failing to meet the NIH’s conditions for reinstatement.
As the Epoch Times noted;
The grant, titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” was originally awarded in 2014 by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Under the terms of the grant, EcoHealth Alliance, a government-funded nonprofit that purportedly engages in research to prevent pandemics, was awarded $3.8 million over five years to assess the spillover potential of bat viruses “using reverse genetics, pseudovirus and receptor binding assays, and virus infection experiments in cell culture and humanized mice.” Put in simple terms, NIAID was paying EcoHealth to genetically engineer and manipulate bat viruses in labs.
In May 2016, the grant was suspended after Erik Stemmy, a NIAID program officer, noticed that federal government funds may have been used for prohibited gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China. At the time, the Obama administration had put in place a moratorium on gain-of-function experiments. However, for reasons that remain unclear, the suspension was lifted in July 2016. At the time, EcoHealth’s president, Peter Daszak, thanked NIAID in an email for lifting the gain-of-function funding pause.
As part of the conditions of the grant, EcoHealth had to file regular activity reports. However, starting in 2018, EcoHealth stopped submitting these reports. EcoHealth would later blame technical difficulties for their failure to submit. The missing reports comprised the critical 2018–2019 timeframe right before the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan.
* * *
More:
In 2014, the Obama administration temporarily suspended federal funding for gain-of-function research into manipulating bat COVID to be more transmissible to humans. Four months prior to that decision, the NIH effectively shifted this research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) to EcoHealth, headed by Peter Daszak.
Notably, the WIV “had openly participated in gain-of-function research in partnership with U.S. universities and institutions” for years under the leadership of Dr. Shi ‘Batwoman’ Zhengli, according to the Washington Post‘s Josh Rogin.
Yet, after Sars-CoV-2 broke out in the same town where Daszak was manipulating Bat Covid, The Lancet published a screed by Daszak (signed by over two-dozen scientists), which insisted the virus could have only come from a natural spillover event, likely from a wet market, and that the scientists “stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.” The Lancet only later noted Daszak’s conflicts of interest.
Meanwhile, as we noted late last year, a Senate Committee on Health Education, Labor and Pensions interim report from October 27, 2022 titled “An Analysis of the Origins of the COVID19 Pandemic” concluded that the origins of Covid were more likely based in a lab as part of a “research related incident” and not zoonotic.
The report was the result of a “bipartisan Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee oversight effort into the origins of SARS-CoV-2”. It provides a lengthy analysis that reviews “publicly available, open-source information to examine the two prevailing theories of origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus”.

summitnews--2020-12-21--Reports: UK Infection Rate LOWER Than Countries Cutting It Off; ‘Mutant’ COVID Was Seen In BRAZIL EI

Reports: UK Infection Rate LOWER Than Countries Cutting It Off; ‘Mutant’ COVID Was Seen In BRAZIL EIGHT MONTHS AGO

As London and the entire South East of the UK was plunged into a fresh lockdown over the weekend , scores of countries have banned all travel to and from the UK , but scientists there are demanding to see any evidence that there is a 70 % more contagious mutant strain of COVID , having not been shown anything by the government .
The Daily Mail reports that Carl Heneghan , Professor of Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University ’ s Nuffield Department of Primary Care , has expressed scepticism over the 70 per cent figure .
“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 25 years and I can tell you can ’ t establish a quantifiable number in such a short time frame , ” Heneghan said .
“ Every expert is saying it ’ s too early to draw such an inference , ” the professor added .
“ I would want to have very clear evidence rather than ‘ we think it ’ s more transmissible ’ so we can see if it is or not , ” Heneghan continued .
“ It has massive implications , it ’ s causing fear and panic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this situation when the Government is putting out data that is unquantifiable , ” the professor further urged .
“ They are fitting the data to the evidence .
They see cases rising and they are looking for evidence to explain it , ” Heneghan declared .
The ‘ mutant strain ’ has been circulating since September , according to the government , with Prime Minister Boris Johnson using it to justify literally cancelling Christmas .
However , Professor Heneghan emphasised that if this strain really is that much more contagious “ we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” .
Within minutes of Johnson making the announcement that London and the South East would be locked down at midnight on Saturday , thousands of people crammed into train stations in an attempt to escape to other parts of the country .
While people in London are unable to travel , hundreds of flights from everywhere continued to land at and take off from the city ’ s airports over the weekend .
The data the government has on the ‘ new strain ’ off COVID comes from analysis by advisory body @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Advisory Group ( Nervtag ) .
No one has seen the data , with the Prim Minster noting it is “ early data , “ subject to review ” but “ It ’ s the best we have at the moment.
” Announcing the previously non-existent ‘ Tier four ’ restriction level , Johnson added it was happening because of a “ change in the science ” : Some conservative MPs , who were already rebelling against the tier 3 lockdown , have called for all the scientific evidence the government has to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accused of being ‘ bounced by the science ’ , with former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith noting that Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty and Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance are ‘ stepping back into the shadows when it suits them ’ .
“ ‘ Why did they not alert ministers to the dangers earlier ?
Especially when , as we now know , scientists learnt about this mutation back in September , ” Duncan-Smith asked .
Former minister Sir Desmond Swayne said “ it does have all the characteristics of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as it was right at the beginning of the arrangements when we first went into lockdown last March.
” “ The arrangements for Christmas were explicitly voted on by Parliament .
If they ’ re to be changed then in my view , Parliament should vote again , ” Swayne added .
“ Parliament voted explicitly for a certain set of arrangements , it seems to be perfectly proper therefore that Parliament should be consulted when those are changed , irrespective of the Government acting in an emergency , nevertheless it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the beginning of this week to at least ratify those changes , ” the MP continued .
Swayne noted that MPs haven ’ t even been given any evidence to justify the heightened restrictions , and that a third of the country was effectively imprisoned via a press conference .
“ Explain to us – we are after all a democracy , explain to the elected representatives the evidence that they have and why they ’ ve reached this decision , ” Swayned emphasised .
The MP charged that the government purposefully waited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Christmas before making the announcement , in order to avoid a rebellion .
“ They ’ ve been looking at it since September and how convenient when Parliament went into recess on Thursday suddenly they were then able to produce this revelation , ” Swayne noted .
“ Let ’ s see the evidence then , let ’ s have Parliament back and show us and convince us , come clean , ” he urged , adding “ I want Parliament to be recalled so we can scrutinise properly in a democracy decisions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy radically and our liberty .
”

Despite nations all over the world beginning to isolate from the UK, banning travel to and from Britain, and effectively cutting it off, the infection rate is LOWER there than several other countries.
As noted by the Daily Mail, infection rates in Britain are still lower than in Sweden, Denmark, Croatia and Holland.
Nevertheless, these countries are isolating themselves from the UK after the government there hyped a ‘mutant strain’ of COVID to justify another lockdown, without presenting any evidence.
Footage has emerged of British travellers being detained in foreign airports and tested for COVID against their will.
Meanwhile, the British government has not closed its borders to any incoming flights at all:
Why have you created internal borders within the United Kingdom while leaving all external borders wide open? @BorisJohnson — Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) December 21, 2020
"The Prime Minister will chair a COBRA meeting tomorrow to discuss the situation regarding international travel…into and out of the UK."
Will he stop flights landing from China, Brazil & numerous Middle Eastern countries?

Londoners will be arrested if they try to leave the country, but 5 flights from Brazil (over 7 million COVID cases) will be landing at Heathrow within the next 10 minutes.

Their fearmongering is finally coming home to roost. Zero sympathy. https://t.co/bhnhKame8i — Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) December 21, 2020
Meanwhile, five other countries say they have already detected instances of the ‘mutant strain’, which is claimed by the UK government to be 70% more contagious.
Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Australia and Belgium all say they have experienced cases dating back to November.
Scientists working with the government in Britain also claim that the new “supercharged” strain was present in Brazil EIGHT MONTHS AGO.
“Studies show that the mutation, called N501Y, was spotted in the South American country in April, before later rearing its head again in Australia and the US,” The London Telegraph reports.
The report further notes that “Leading scientific advisers explained that the N501Y did not cause much alarm earlier in the year, because it failed to rip through populations on its own”.
The strain is thought to have been spreading in the UK since September, but only now, days before Christmas, and after parliament has broken for the holiday, has the government spoken about it.
Scientists in Britain also state that “The hint to look for the N501Y came from [scientists] who were tracking this mutation in South Africa.”
“Both the British and South African variants share the N501Y mutation, but appear to have evolved independently of one another,” the report adds.
South Africa’s health minister suggested on Friday that the new strain present there, called 501.V2, seems to have a more severe effect on young people.
Scientists independent of the government are asking to see the evidence that the new strain is as contagious as it has been labeled, with Carl Heneghan, Professor of Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University’s Nuffield Department of Primary Care, expressing scepticism over how the government reached the 70 per cent figure.
“I’ve been doing this job for 25 years and I can tell you can’t establish a quantifiable number in such a short time frame,” Heneghan said.
“Every expert is saying it’s too early to draw such an inference,” the professor added.


summitnews--2020-12-21--UK Police: There Are No Powers To Enforce Xmas Travel Ban

Police in the UK have admitted that they have no legal authority to enforce a travel ban in and out of London and the South East after the government instituted a third lockdown , cancelling Christmas for millions of people .
The London Telegraph reports that officials from the Police Federation say that officers do not have the power to stop people traveling or to stop cars and check if citizens are “ unlawfully ” visiting relatives and friends for Christmas .
“ It ’ s heavily reliant on public compliance .
The restriction isn ’ t on travelling , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( without reasonable excuse as defined ) , ” a police source told the Telegraph .
“ The more reasonable excuses that there are , the more there will be opportunities to claim an exemption where in truth one doesn ’ t exist .
So it ’ s going to be very tough to enforce , ” the source added .
In addition , it is only legal for police to stop motorists if they have witnessed a traffic violation .
There is no ‘ Covid power ’ to stop vehicles .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we can do if lots of people hit the roads on Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day .
We won ’ t be closing roads to prevent it , ” said the police source .
“ I would accept there is legislation put in place but as a police officer who has been doing the job for a long time , it ’ s not enforceable , ” added Ken Marsh , chair of the Met Police Federation .
“ Your functionality to perform your duty is nigh on impossible if they don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If they think they are going to get a fine , they won ’ t tell you the truth , ” Marsh added , referring to anyone stopped by police .
Despite the admissions , the government has said it is relying on police to enforce the “ tier four ” restrictions , which equate to a total lockdown .
Matt Hancock , the Health Secretary proclaimed that police must stop people getting on trains or into cars to travel out of Tier 4 areas .
“ Of course .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the law , ” Hancock stated .
The government ’ s cancellation of Christmas over the weekend , based on evidence of a ‘ mutant strain ’ of more contagious COVID that has not been presented to MPs , scientists , or the public , caused a mass exodus from London in the hours before the lockdown took effect .


summitnews--2020-12-21--Video, Pictures: British Travellers ‘Held Against Their Will’ At German Airports

As chaos unfolded in the UK with the government touting an unverified ‘mutant strain’ of COVID to justify a fresh lockdown, video has emerged of British travellers being herded inside foreign airports and held against their will.
As EU nations began to shut down flights from Britain, some passengers have been caught up in the nightmare. Video from German newspaper BILD shows Brits forced to sleep in the same room at Hanover airport, after being refused entry to the country.
The footage shows health officials and nurses, some in full hazmat gear, administering immediate Covid-19 tests, as passengers plead “Please help us leave!”
Hilferuf aus dem Flughafen von Hannover – „Wir werden gegen unseren Willen festgehalten!“ https://t.co/XZR0qiYOc5 — BILD (@BILD) December 20, 2020
“We are at Hanover airport and we are held against our will, we were tested and were prohibited from leaving the premises while awaiting the results,” said traveller Manuela Thomys in the video.

Hanover health official Andreas Kranz told German news wire DPA that “Our aim is to prevent the new variant of the virus from entering the region,”
According to the ‘authorities’, if passengers test negative, they will be allowed to proceed to their destination, but will still have to enter a 10-day quarantine. After five days and another negative test result, they can end the quarantine.

However, if the passengers test positive for the ‘mutant strain’, they will reportedly be held in a quarantine facility.

The same situation was in effect at Berlin’s BER Airport, according to Tom Nuttall, the Berlin correspondent for The Economist:
Just landed at Berlin airport on last flight from UK. Federal police triaging between German citizens and the rest of us. Curious to see what happens next as we're held at passport control. — Tom Nuttall (@tom_nuttall) December 20, 2020
Nuttall noted that those without a negative test were “told they have to return to the UK.”
New York Times correspondent Patrick Kingsley, who was also on the flight to Berlin said authorities let German citizens through without a test:
Foreign residents on the last flight into Berlin from London have been separated from the German citizens and will spend the night in the airport until the test center opens at 6am.
Germans allowed through without a test pic.twitter.com/clDvuFhqYY — Patrick Kingsley (@PatrickKingsley) December 20, 2020
Reports also indicate that British passengers were held at Frankfurt, Munich, and Stuttgart airports.
Deutsche Welle reports that at least one passenger has tested positive, but it is not known if it is the so called ‘mutant strain’.
BILD also reported that a pilot on a German-bound flight from the UK told non-German passengers they needed to get off the plane before it took off or face mandatory COVID-19 testing and a subsequent quarantine when they landed.
Audio recorded by someone on the plane reveals that the pilot gave non-German passengers the option to get off the plane before facing chaos, including isolation and mandatory COVID tests, upon landing.
According to reports, France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Switzerland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Croatia and Turkey have all moved to stop flights from the UK because of the new strain.
Outside Europe, Canada, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Kuwait, El Salvador, Argentina, Chile and Morocco have all imposed travel bans.
The 70% more contagious ‘mutant strain’, of which scientists and government officials in the UK have not been shown evidence, has reportedly already appeared in Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Australia and Belgium.

A new law set to be passed in Poland would fine social media companies $ 2.2 million a pop for censoring lawful free speech .
While numerous western countries are seeking to impose heavy fines on the likes of Facebook and Twitter for failing to remove “ hateful ” content , Poland is taking a very different approach .
“ Under its provisions , social media services will not be allowed to remove content or block accounts if the content on them does not break Polish law , ” reports Poland In .
“ In the event of removal or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the platform , which will have 24 hours to consider it .
Within 48 hours of the decision , the user will be able to file a petition to the court for the return of access .
The court will consider complaints within seven days of receipt and the entire process is to be electronic.
” Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro made clear that the legal initiative was designed to tackle censorship and that it wouldn ’ t impact the right of people who have been slandered or defamed to pursue justice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tendencies for ideological censorship are also representatives of various groups operating in Poland , whose content is removed or blocked , just because they express views and refer to values that are unacceptable from the point of view of communities… with an ever-stronger influence on the functioning of social media , ” said Ziobro .
“ We realise that it is not an easy topic , we realise that on the internet there should also be a sphere of guarantees for everybody who feels slandered , a sphere of limitation of various content @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impact on the sphere of other people ’ s freedom.
” “ But we would like to propose such tools that will enable both one side and the other to call for the decision of a body that will be able to adjudicate whether content appearing on such and such a social media account really violates personal rights , whether it can be eliminated , or whether there is censorship.
” This should be the model for all developed countries that value free speech .
In reality , the opposite is true , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ introduce an “ Online Safety Bill ” that threatens social media platforms with fines up to $ 24 million for failing “ to protect users or remove harmful content.

Update (1350ET): The House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into a “misinformation” tracking group, the UK’s Center for Countering Digital Hate – which is now being sued by X Corp, formerly Twitter.
According to a letter seen by the Washington Examiner, the Center for Countering Digital Hate is in the crosshairs, as House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) has given the nonprofit until August 17, two weeks, to turn over records that could detail the extent of its ties to the Biden White House.
“We know from the Facebook Files that the Center for Countering Digital Hate was working with the White House to censor speech,” said a senior GOP congressional aide. “But how far did it go? Republicans want to find out, and of course subpoenas are on the table if we don’t get answers.”
Jordan’s letter, which was first obtained by the Washington Examiner, is the latest escalation of the GOP’s efforts to investigate how the federal government has, in some cases, coordinated with the private sector to flag certain speech, including speech related to COVID-19, as “disinformation” or “misinformation.” The chairman has recently been publicizing subpoenaed documents from Facebook, now called Meta, showinghow the platform kept in close contact with the Biden administration on content moderation. Further sets of emails produced in connection to that subpoena, which have not been reported on until now and were shared with the Washington Examiner, shed light on Center for Countering Digital Hate’s influence among top Facebook staffers and the highest levels of government. -Washington Examiner
In April 2021, a Facebook employee cited the CCDH’s March 2021 report titled “The Disinformation Dozen” in an email thread dubbed “Vaccine policy,” in which alleged that there “are twelve anti-vaxxers who play leading roles in spreading digital misinformation about COVID vaccines,” with RFK Jr. being one of them.
“We also continue to see pressure from partners and policymakers, including the White House, to remove entities that are seen to be contributing to a large amount of vaccine misinformation content (commonly referred to as the ‘disinformation dozen’ which CCDH asserts are responsible for 73% of vaccine misinformation on Facebook),” the employee’s email continues.
“We continue to monitor these entities on platform, and are reviewing the off platform as well, but do not believe we currently have a clear path for removal of these.”
In his letter to CCDH’s CEO, Imran Ahmed, Jordan writes: “We are interested in understanding the interactions between the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and the federal government in particular, as well as between CCDH and social media companies,” adding “CCDH claims that ‘social media companies erode basic human rights and civil liberties by enabling the spread of online hate and disinformation.'”
Earlier Thursday, Jordan dropped a thread of receipts on Facebook’s relationship with the Biden regime and how they censored unfavorable opinions.
THE FACEBOOK FILES PART 3.
Newly subpoenaed internal notes of meetings between Facebook executives and Biden Admin officials reveal more about the lengths the Biden White House wanted to go to control true speech on Facebook.
🧵 Thread: https://t.co/AeXrs1U8wr — Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 3, 2023
As we’ve previously noted (via Paul Thacker)
The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) sprang out of nowhere in late 2017 or early 2018. At the time, Ahmed was leaving a job as a political advisor to members of the British Labour Party and had just written a book. As we chronicle in our just published book The New Serfdom, the dominance of market fundamentalism has been a disastrous experiment that has ripped up social cohesion and solidarity while the gap between the 1 per cent and the 99 per cent has soared to levels not seen since the beginning of the last century. Home ownership, secure employment and fair wages seem like relics of a bygone era. Meanwhile exploitative workplace practices have created a new serfdom leaving many people trapped in insecure, unfulfilling and underpaid work with no escape route. How this background as a political operative prepared Ahmed to brand himself as an expert in disinformation is unclear. His LinkedIn account makes no mention of his work as a political operative in England, although his biography at CCDH states that he is an “authority on social and psychological malignancies on social media, such as identity-based hate, extremism, disinformation, and conspiracy theories.” Ahmed now lives in Washington DC and his organization does not provide a list of funders. In early 2021, CCDH posted a report titled “The Disinformation Dozen” that alleged the majority of COVID vaccine disinformation came from just 12 accounts, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Ahmed released the report just as the Biden administration began their COVID vaccine rollout and shortly before the House held hearings on disinformation at social media companies.
Good question. This appears to be foreign government interference.
Can’t wait to get their donors under deposition! — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 31, 2023
And of course, now the CCDH has their cup out for donations.
CCDH who is known for silencing people including orgs like @FDRLST and @zerohedge are now using the @elonmusk lawsuit to get donations crying about how Elon is “silencing them” and it’s “straight out of the authoritarian handbook” ….This is unbelievable. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/EiWdZA42j8 — Natalie F Danelishen (@Chesschick01) August 3, 2023

Update (1253ET): Shortly after publication, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) dropped a Twitter thread full of receipts showing the Biden administration’s collusion with Facebook to suppress conservative speech.
“Since it’s a global pandemic, can we give agencies access to targeting parameters that they normally wouldn’t be able to?” said President Biden’s digital director, Rob Flaherty, according to internal company communications.
Rob Flaherty, President Biden’s then-Director of Digital Strategy, repeatedly put pressure on Facebook to explain its content decisions.
“We have to explain to President, Ron, people, why there is misinfo on the internet…” pic.twitter.com/zUZYbKHfA9 — Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 3, 2023
Continued…For example, Flaherty questioned whether Facebook was doing enough to reduce traffic from sites like the @nypost. “I’m curious – NY Post churning out articles every day… What is supposed to happen to that from Policy perspective. Does that article get a reduction, labels?”
But that wasn’t enough for the Biden White House. Flaherty wanted Facebook to go a step further. He wanted Facebook to kick people off its site.
The Biden White House’s effort to censor opposing viewpoints only grew. So, they upped the pressure. Flaherty demanded that Facebook “play ball” and work with the Biden White House on censorship. He called it his “dream.”
But that’s not all. The Biden White House wanted to control what you saw on Facebook. They questioned whether Facebook could change its algorithm so users saw more posts from the New York Times and less from the @realDailyWireand @TomiLahren.
Why did they do that? Because they didn’t think you were smart enough to decide for yourself. President Biden’s head of strategic communications and public engagement for the #COVID19 response, Courtney Rowe, mocked Real America’s ability to determine what’s true and what isn’t.
Facebook knew it had to act. One employee tried to explain to the White House that if the company couldn’t “remove” content, it could at least “contain it.”
But Flaherty continued to press for more content moderation and CONTROL on so-called “bad” content.
And of course, Facebook caved. The company ADMITTED to the White House that it reduced content of certain posts – even if the posts didn’t violate the company’s terms and contained TRUE information. Just read this from a Facebook employee.
These newly subpoenaed meeting notes continue to show the Biden White House’s desire to direct and control content on Facebook. More evidence of the censorship-industrial complex. To be continued…

Authored by Eric Lundrum via American Greatness,
In new memos recently released by Facebook, the social media giant was pressured by the Biden White House into altering its algorithms so that mainstream news sources would be elevated over conservative sites.
As Just The News reports, the documents over to the House Judiciary Committee following a subpoena detail a series of meetings between Facebook executives and White House Digital Director Rob Flaherty in the spring of 2021. The demands from the White House focused on posts related to the Chinese coronavirus and the efficiency of the COVID vaccines.
In one meeting on April 14th, 2021, Flaherty asked Facebook if it was possible to artificially promote outlets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, instead the Daily Wire and Fox News, particularly commentator Tomi Lahren.
“If you were to change the algorithm so that people were more likely to see NYT, WSJ, any authoritative news source over Daily Wire, Tomi Lahren, polarizing people,” Flaherty asked.
“You wouldn’t have a mechanism to check the material impact?”
“We have to explain to President, Ron [Klain], people, why there is misinfo on the internet, bigger problem than FB,” said Flaherty, according to the typed notes from Facebook executives.
“Where issues are, what interventions are, how well they are working, for products, want to engage in things that you know to be effective. I don’t even care about specific methodology, you have better, richer data than we’ll ever have.”
Tomi Lahren, who boasted a large following on Facebook, had recently announced that she would refuse to get the COVID vaccine. Meanwhile, Daily Wire had filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration’s mandate for private workplaces to force its employees to take the vaccine. The Supreme Court eventually struck down Biden’s workplace mandate, while upholding his vaccine mandate for facilities that are funded by Medicare and Medicaid.
“What are the things driving hesitancy on your platform? What is it? How big is the problem? When you are intervening, how are you measuring success?” Flaherty repeatedly grilled the Facebook executives in one meeting.
“Never-before-released internal documents subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee PROVE that Facebook and Instagram censored posts and changed their content moderation policies because of unconstitutional pressure from the Biden White House,” said Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, on Twitter.
Constitutional scholars have also raised the alarm over the revelations, with George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley saying that he has “asked Congress to pass a law barring federal employees from engaging in censorship and targeting of citizens.”
“Agencies have a right to speak in their own voices,” Turley added. “Instead, the Biden Administration sought to engage in what I have called ‘censorship through surrogate.’ This is part of that pattern.”
Turley’s take is reiterated by University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds told Just the News on Wednesday that the First Amendment issue is when the “government is asking people to censor speech, their action is attributable to the government, so both they and the government can be sued.”x
“By working with the government, Facebook exposed themselves to liability,” Reynolds said, noting that they do not “share sovereign immunity” with the government and will “probably very much regret it.”

White House coronavirus response Dr. Deborah Birx traveled to meet family during Thanksgiving after warning Americans to avoid doing the same in yet another example of rampant COVID hypocrisy .

summitnews--2020-12-22--Paul Slams Republicans Voting For COVID Bill: ‘You Are No Better Than Socialist Dems’

Senator Rand Paul slammed Republicans Monday for voting in favour of a huge $ 900 billion coronavirus relief bill , saying that they are no better than the Democrats they routinely label as ‘ socialists ’ .
“ To so-called conservatives who are quick to identify the socialism of Democrats : If you vote for this spending monstrosity , you are no better , ” Paul urged in a speech on the Senate floor : The Democrat controlled House , as well as the Senate passed the legislation , also tacking on a $ 1.4 trillion spending bill , prompting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government giving away “ free money ” .
“ When you vote to pass out free money , you lose your soul and you abandon forever any semblance of moral or fiscal integrity , ” Paul urged .
“ If free money was the answer… if money really did grow on trees , why not give more free money ?
” Paul said .
“ Why not give it out all the time ?
Why stop at $ 600 a person ?
Why not $ 1,000 ?
Why not $ 2,000 ?
Maybe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Everybody-Gets-A-Guaranteed-Income Caucus ?
Why not $ 20,000 a year for everybody , why not $ 30,000 ?
If we can print out money with impunity , why not do it ?
” the Senator proclaimed .
In addition to Paul , only five other Republicans voted against the legislation : Senator Ted Cruz tweeted that there was no time to even read the bill , ironically agreeing with extreme leftist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez : Paul also noted that it would have been impossible for anyone to have read the bill : Paul vowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ over excessive spending :

There was a shocking number in today’s latest monthly US Budget Deficit report. No, it wasn’t that US government outlays unexpectedly soared 15% to $646 billion in June, up almost $100 billion from a year ago…
… while tax receipts slumped 9.2% from $461 billion to $418 billion, resulting in a TTM government receipt drop of over 7.3%, the biggest since June 2020 when the US was reeling from the covid lockdown recession; in fact never have before tax receipts suffered such a big drop without the US entering a recession.
Needless to say, surging government outlays coupled with shrinking tax revenues meant that in June, the US budget deficit nearly tripled from $89 billion a year ago to $228 billion, far greater than the consensus estimate of $175 billion. One can only imagine which Ukrainian billionaire oligarch’s money laundering bank account is currently enjoying the benefits of that unexpected incremental $50 billion US deficit hole: we know for a fact that the FBI will never get to the bottom of that one, since they can’t even figure out who dumped a bunch of blow inside the White House – the most protected and surveilled structure in the entire world.
And with the monthly deficits coming in higher than expected and also far higher than a year ago, it is also not at all surprising that the cumulative deficit 9 months into the fiscal year is already the 3rd highest on record, surpassed only by the crisis years of 2020 and 2021: at $1.393 trillion, the fiscal 2022 YTD deficit is already up 170% compared to the same period last year.
Again, while sad, none of the above numbers are surprising: they merely confirm that the US is on an ever faster-track to fiscal death, but not before the Fed is forced to monetize the debt once again (one wonders what financial crisis the Jekyll Island folks will invoke this time to greenlight the next multi-trillion QE).
No, the one number that was truly shocking was found all the way on page 9, deep inside Table 3 of the latest Treasury Monthly Statement: the only highlighted below, and which shows that in the 9 months of the current fiscal year, the US has already accumulated a record $652 billion in gross debt interest.
This number was more than 25% higher compared to the Interest Expense payment for the comparable period a year ago, which amounted to $521 billion.
Soaring interest rates, driven by the panicked Fed’s scramble to undo its epic policy failure of 2020 and 2021 when the Fed kept rates at zero for far too long while injecting trillions into various asset bubbles, have been the key driver of the deficit, with the Federal Reserve boosting its benchmark rate by 5% since it began hiking in March last year. Five-year Treasury yields are now about 3.96%, versus 1.35% at the start of last year. As lower-yielding securities mature, the Treasury faces steady increases in the rates it pays on outstanding debt: that’s right – even when the Fed starts cutting rates, due to the delay of rolling over maturing debt, actual interest payments will keep rising for the foreseeable future.
For context, the weighted average interest for total outstanding debt at the end of June was only 2.76%, a level that’s not been surpassed since January 2012, according to the Treasury. That’s up from 1.80% a year before, the department’s data show, and if the Fed indeed keeps rates “higher for longer”, the blended rate on the debt will surpass 4% in one year.
That would be a complete disaster for the US, and it would mean that interest payments on total US debt of $32.3 trillion would hit $1.3 trillion within 12 months, potentially making interest on the debt the single biggest US government expenditure and surpassing social security!
But we don’t even have to wait that long until the exploding interest on US government debt becomes a major talking point ahead of the coming presidential elections. According to the St Louis Fed’s FRED and the BEA, the interest payments by the Federal Government have now surpassed $900 billion for the first time ever, and within a quarter will hit probably rise above $1 trillion, a historic benchmark that will probably begin the countdown to the US Minsky Moment.
One of the most incompetent puppets in the Biden admin (and there are countless), Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, has played down concerns about higher rates. She has instead flagged that the ratio of interest payments to GDP, after adjustment for inflation, remains historically low. The problem with Yellen’s argument is that GDP will crater after the next recession (which will also spark the next financial crisis, one which Yellen will not live to see), but US debt will never again drop in either absolute or relative terms, as the good folks at the CBO have been so kind to make clear to even such intellectual midgets as the former Fed chairwoman.
In short, the endgame has now arrived, and all the US can do now is rearrange the deck chairs.

The British government has contracted two firms to develop COIVD ‘ freedom passports ’ , that would be used to segregate society between those who have been tested or vaccinated against COVID and those who have not .

summitnews--2020-12-22--University Develops Precognition System To Stop ‘Disinformation’ On Social Media

How to stop pesky ‘ conspiracy theories ’ ( information they don ’ t like ) from gaining traction online has become the number one preoccupation of social media overlords .
Now they may have a solution .
Researchers at the university of Sheffield in the UK have developed a ‘ precognition ’ system that they say can predict who will spread ‘ disinformation ’ online before they even do it .
The ‘ artificial intelligence-based algorithm ’ can “ accurately predict ( 79.7 per cent ) which Twitter users are likely to share content from unreliable news sources before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ press release states .
The algorithm works by first identifying which Twitter users “ mostly tweet about politics or religion , ” compared to those who just share selfies and meaningless tripe .
So the algorithm leaves serious tweeters alone , and the tripe is eliminated , right ?
No , the other way around .
Another factor the algorithm takes into account is that “ Twitter users who share disinformation use impolite language more frequently than users who share reliable news sources.
” The research involved grouping Twitter users into two categories @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news sources and those who only share stories from reliable news sources.
” There is no explanation of what is a reliable news source , and what constitutes ‘ unreliable ’ , so that was seemingly just decided upon by the University personnel .
You can probably guess how that went .
The researchers also say that those who spread ‘ disinformation ’ more often use words like ‘ liberal ’ , ‘ government ’ , ‘ media ’ , and often mention ‘ Islam ’ .
You can see where this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Findings “ could help governments and social media companies… design more effective models for tackling the spread of disinformation.
” In other words this will help Facebook and Twitter censor people spreading information they don ’ t want on their platforms .

Of course people with valid exemptions won’t need one but I imagine they will be few. — 🇧🇷 (@2limN3ddy) December 9, 2020
I would be happy to have something added to my passport that says I had any vaccine needed including Covid and I would feel safer if I knew the stranger sitting next to me on a plane, train or bus was not going to infect me. Personal view and not getting at you or others 🤔 — Richard Paige (@rickypaige121) December 7, 2020


summitnews--2020-12-23--BBC Publishes Cringe Guide For ‘Talking To Conspiracy Theorist Relatives’ At Christmas

The British Broadcasting Corporation , the bastion of all that is proper and right , has published a handy Christmas guide for how to talk down to relatives who believe in nasty ‘ conspiracy theories ’ , and it ’ s a huge sack full of cringe .
Prime Minister Boris Johnson effectively cancelled Christmas for a third of the UK , and is now threatening to lockdown the entire country on Boxing Day .
That is not enough for the woke state broadcaster , however , which clearly feels it needs to instruct Brit NPCs on how to debunk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unmutual uncles and disharmonious descendants .
“ How should you talk to friends and relatives who believe conspiracy theories ?
” The BBC headline reads .
“ You ’ re dreading the moment .
As your uncle passes the roast potatoes , he casually mentions that a coronavirus vaccine will be used to inject microchips into our bodies to track us , ” the ‘ five point guide ’ outlines , adding “ Or maybe it ’ s that point when a friend , after a couple of pints , starts talking about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ .
” Ok , so what does one do in this horrible situation , oh mighty and wise Big BBC Brother ?
Eh ?
So don ’ t immediately shut them down as a dangerous conspiracy theorist who spreads fake news ?
Just retain that thought in your head while you deeply patronise them with your received BBC approved spoon-fed opinion .
Perhaps chase them down the street screeching questions about why they are not wearing a face mask ?
Probably a good tactic .
Well , how dare they believe something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bloody awful .
So we take away their social media accounts then , right ?
“ Your aim is not to make them less curious or sceptical , but to change what they are curious about , or sceptical of.
” Ah , OK .
Direct them to the BBC website then ?
Any more tips , oh corporate board of directors earning millions per year from scalping old ladies by pretending they have to pay you to own a TV ?
Yeah , those evil conspiracy theorists , making a living AND @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health .
“ Conspiracy theories tend to be simple , powerful stories that explain the world .
Reality is complex and messy , which is harder for our brains to process.
” Ouch , thinking hurts too much .
Got it .
Wait , so pedos don ’ t run the world then ?

The British Broadcasting Corporation, the bastion of all that is proper and right, has published a handy Christmas guide for how to talk down to relatives who believe in nasty ‘conspiracy theories’, and it’s a huge sack full of cringe.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson effectively cancelled Christmas for a third of the UK, and is now threatening to lockdown the entire country on Boxing Day.
That is not enough for the woke state broadcaster, however, which clearly feels it needs to instruct Brit NPCs on how to debunk the dangerous disinformation being spread by their unmutual uncles and disharmonious descendants.
“How should you talk to friends and relatives who believe conspiracy theories?” The BBC headline reads.
“You’re dreading the moment. As your uncle passes the roast potatoes, he casually mentions that a coronavirus vaccine will be used to inject microchips into our bodies to track us,” the ‘five point guide’ outlines, adding “Or maybe it’s that point when a friend, after a couple of pints, starts talking about how Covid-19 ‘doesn’t exist’.”
“Or when pudding is ruined as a long-lost cousin starts spinning lurid tales about QAnon and elite Satanists eating babies.”
Cringe.
Ok, so what does one do in this horrible situation, oh mighty and wise Big BBC Brother?
“Keep calm; don’t be dismissive; encourage critical thinking; ask questions; don’t expect immediate results.”
Eh? So don’t immediately shut them down as a dangerous conspiracy theorist who spreads fake news? Just retain that thought in your head while you deeply patronise them with your received BBC approved spoon-fed opinion.
OK then.
Perhaps chase them down the street screeching questions about why they are not wearing a face mask? Probably a good tactic.
Paul Joseph Watson guest hosts The Alex Jones Show to break down the medical tyranny takeover of the UK as “new” strain of Covid spreads.
Next tip?
“People who believe conspiracy theories often say: “I do my own research.”
Well, how dare they believe something not published by the BBC. How bloody awful.
“The problem is that their research tends to consist of watching fringe YouTube videos, following random people on Facebook, and cherry-picking evidence from biased Twitter account.”
So we take away their social media accounts then, right?
“Your aim is not to make them less curious or sceptical, but to change what they are curious about, or sceptical of.”
Ah, OK. Direct them to the BBC website then?
Any more tips, oh corporate board of directors earning millions per year from scalping old ladies by pretending they have to pay you to own a TV?
“Focus on those who are pushing these ideas, and what they might be getting,” says Claire Wardle. “For instance, financial gain by selling health supplements, or reputational gain in building a following.”
Yeah, those evil conspiracy theorists, making a living AND selling vitamins that are good for your health.
What’s next Gandalf BBC?
“Conspiracy theories tend to be simple, powerful stories that explain the world. Reality is complex and messy, which is harder for our brains to process.”
Ouch, thinking hurts too much. Got it.
Wait, so pedos don’t run the world then?

Two leading virologists are concerned that new strains of the COVID virus could make vaccines currently being rolled out “ ineffective , ” according to NBC News reporter Richard Engel .
