Hunter Biden raked in $6m over nine months from his Chinese business dealings according to a timeline of his affairs which goes into unprecedented detail.
Joe Biden’s son was involved with a series of transactions which were flagged for ‘potential financial criminal activity’, a Senate report has revealed.

The Senate report focuses on Hunter’s work for Chinese company CEFC China Energy to invest in US energy projects.
CEFC’s founder and former chairman Ye Jianming gave Hunter a 2.8-carat diamond after a business meeting in Miami, CNN has reported.
2015: The start of Hunter and CEFC’s relationship
The Senate report timeline starts in 2015 when Hunter’s relationship with Ye and associate Gongwen Dong began – while his father was still Vice President
The report states: ‘Ye’s connections to the Communist government are extensive and … Ye was also financially connected to Vice President Biden’s brother, James Biden.
‘Thus, there exists a vast web of corporate connections and financial transactions between and among the Biden family and Chinese nationals’.

April 2016: Hunter sets up a new business
Hunter incorporated his business Hudson West III which would prove to be the main route for payments from China.
At some point later the ownership was divided between Hunter’s law firm Owasco PC and Coldharbour Capital LLC, each with a 50% stake.
The ownership of Coldharbour was split between two individuals, Mervyn Yan and Tian Zhang, but it has a business address identified as the address of Gongwen, suggesting closer ties than would appear.
Gongwen was a signer on one of Hunter West III’s checking accounts, which suggests at one point he was ‘associated with Hudson West III’s bank accounts and finances’.

May 2017: Emails show Hunter arranging a deal
Previous reports in the New York Post based on emails found on Hunter’s laptop have identified this period as crucial in his negotiations for a deal with CEFC.
One report stated that on May 13 2017 James Gilliar of the international consulting firm J2cR sent Hunter an email which identified the President-elect’s son as ‘Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC’.
The email was titled ‘expectations’ and appeared to be agreeing terms to compensate Hunter.
The deal listed ’10 Jim’ and ’10 held by H for the big guy?’ – neither party was identified but Hunter’s critics have speculated it was his father.
An August 2nd 2017 email chain involving Biden worked out further terms.
Biden wrote: ‘The chairman (Ye) changed that deal after we me[t] in MIAMI TO A MUCH MORE LASTING AND LUCRATIVE ARRANGEMENT to create a holding company 50% percent (sic]) owned by ME and 50% owned by him.
‘Consulting fees is one piece of our income stream but the reason this proposal by the chairman was so much more interesting to me and my family is that we would also be partners inn (sic) the equity and profits of the JV’s (joint venture’s) investments’.
August 2017: The money begins to flow
On August 4th, CEFC Infrastructure Investment (US) LLC, a subsidiary of Ye’s company, sent $100,000 to Owasco, Hunter’s law company.
On August 8th the same subsidiary sent $5m to Hudson West III.
The report stated: ‘These funds may have originated from a loan issued from the account of a company called Northern International Capital Holdings, a Hong Kong-based investment company identified at one time as a ‘substantial shareholder’ in CEFC International Limited along with Ye. It is unclear whether Hunter Biden was half-owner of Hudson West III at that time’.
The same day Hudson West III began sending ‘frequent payments’ to Owasco, his law firm.
The payments continued for more than a year and were described as ‘consulting fees’, the report said, and totalled $4,790,375.25.
Target: Hunter Biden said Wednesday that he was the subject of a federal investigation into his taxes. The probe was started in 2018 but paused for the election
September 8 2017: Credit cards issued – and spending spree begins
CEFC announced a $9.1bn deal to buy a stake in Russian state-owned energy company Rosneft.
That same day Hunter opened a line of credit with Gongwen under the name of his business, Hudson West III.
Hunter Biden, his uncle James Biden and James Biden’s wife, Sara Biden were approved as ‘authorized users of credit cards associated with the account’.
That same day they spent more than $100,000 on airline tickets, technology products and hotel rooms, transactions that were flagged for ‘potential financial criminal activity’, the report said.
Hunter moves money to his uncle James Biden
The report says that during this period there were large sums of money moved between Hunter and James Biden.
From August 14th 2017 to August 3rd 2018, $1.4m was moved from Owasco to James Biden’s Lion Hall Group consulting firm.
March 22 2018: Hunter gets another $1m
The next important date for Hunter was March 22nd 2018 when he was paid $1m for work related to Patrick Ho Chi Ping.
He ran an organization backed by CEFC and was sentenced to three years in prison in 2018 for paying millions of dollars in bribes to officials in Chad and Uganda.
The $1m was transferred from Hudson West to Owasco with the memo line: ‘Dr Patrick Ho Chi Ping Representation’.
The report states: ‘These transactions illustrate the financial connections between Gongwen Dong’s Hudson West III, Ye Jianming’s CEFC, and Hunter Biden’s Owasco’.
It states: ‘Sara Biden told the bank that she would not provide any supporting documentation, and she also refused to provide additional information to more clearly explain the activity.
‘Consequently, the bank submitted the account for closure’.
January to October 2018: Vast sums for office expenses for James Biden
Another finding by the report was that Hudson West III sent more than $76,000 directly to James Biden’s company from January to October 2018.
The significant sums were labeled ‘office expense and reimbursement’.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-13--Daughter Of Top DEA Official Sentenced to 8 Years For Being An “Adorable” Drug Kingpin

“ You don ’ t see many drug traffickers retire , ” gloated Bill Furay , then-head of the DEA ’ s office in Beaumont , Texas , following the arrest of a wealthy couple from a tiny neighborhood in Pearland .
“ Either they end up in prison , or they end up dead.
” Furay , who has since retired from his life of kidnapping and caging people for arbitrary substances deemed illegal by the state , apparently never had time to give that lecture to his teenage daughter , Sarah — who was arrested in 2015 on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 8 year prison sentence .
Furay , a drug dealer who received international attention following her 2015 arrest in College Station , was sentenced earlier this month in a Brazos County courtroom to eight years in prison .
According to KBTX , a spokeswoman for the district attorney ’ s office says Sarah Furay , who now lives in the Houston-area , received eight years in prison for each of the three drug trafficking charges and the maximum two-year sentence on her single charge of possession of marijuana .
A probable cause statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police found “ 31.5 grams of packaged cocaine , 126 grams of high grade marijuana , 29 ` ecstasy ’ tablets , methamphetamine and 60 doses of a drug similar to LSD ” in Sarah Furay ’ s bedroom .
They also reported finding two digital scales , packaging materials , and a handwritten drug price list .
Police also found text messages in her phone discussing drug transactions .
Sarah pleaded guilty in October and was sentenced this month .
As TFTP reported at the time , Sarah made international headlines because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mugshot .
She was deemed by the media as the world ’ s “ most adorable drug kingpin.
” The irony of her father ’ s job was deep and exposed the dirty underbelly of the war on drugs and its utter failure .
When top DEA officials can not stop their own children from becoming drug kingpins , it ’ s time to admit that the DEA shouldn ’ t even exist .
As the late and great Will Grigg wrote for TFTP in 2015 : For many years , Furay styled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , becoming a familiar presence at triumphant DEA press conferences announcing mass arrests and seizures of contraband and proceeds .
“ Basically , we ’ re targeting criminal organizations , gangs , trying to hit them where they live and breathe , ” Furay boasted following a large-scale bust following “ Operation Blood Loss ” in 2009 .
“ Operation Agent Orange ” in June 2010 propelled Furay into the spotlight yet again : A multi-jurisdictional narcotics task force staged a massive operation spanning several counties to arrest 60 people allegedly involved in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Sinaloa narcotics cartel .
US Attorney Malcolm Bates described the narcotics operation as the “ United Nations of drug trafficking.
” Like most initiatives of its kind , Agent Orange began with information sweated out of low-level dealers seeking a “ downward departure ” in sentencing in exchange for leniency .
The crackdown netted dozens of suspects , including “ Mexicans , Hondurans , Mexican-Americans , African-Americans , Anglos and at least one Pakistani and one Israeli citizen , ” according to the Houston Chronicle .
“ People with first names such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doing business with Mohammad , Shannon , Heather , and Ken.
” “ It was like they were delivering pizzas , ” commented Furay during a press conference .
“ It was delivery after delivery.
” Furay ’ s comrade Zoran Yankovich , who headed the DEA ’ s Houston Division , boasted that Operation Agent Orange “ decimated the Pineda organization that was operating in our region and responsible for the distribution of numerous pounds of methamphetamine and cocaine nationwide.
” Taking out a drug syndicate is an exercise in futility akin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a thimble .
When the DEA “ decimated ” one narcotics syndicate , all they did was create an opportunity for another one to fill it .
While Furay was busy with sting operations , controlled buys , and self-aggrandizing press conferences , he apparently neglected to supervise his young daughter Sarah , who was arrested at her College Station home on November 8 , 2015 and faces a variety of narcotics-related charges .
That terrifying prospect notwithstanding , the winsome Miss Furay can be seen smiling broadly in her booking photo , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mugshot in America.
” After spending a day in jail , the 19-year-old , referred to in press accounts as an “ adorable drug kingpin , ” posted $ 39,000 bond and was released .
Although Sarah ’ s parents are divorced , and her mother has since remarried , “ having a mom and dad with well-established positions within departments of law enforcement and education certainly doesn ’ t hurt when it comes to getting your drug-dealing ass out of jail , ” commented Death and Taxes .
“ Having a mother @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a school administrator gives Furay ’ s attorney the opportunity to argue [ the ] client as a low flight-risk.
” She did not escape jail , however .
What ’ s more , there is a strong possibility as well that her less-than-admirable life choices reflect the fact that her father was too busy putting other people ’ s children in prison to give his own daughter the parental attention she needed – but this type of occupation-specific neglect is fairly commonplace among those who enforce drug prohibition .
During a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years ago , Larry McGhee , the state DARE coordinator ( and a high-ranking official in the state Peace Officer Standards and Training academy ) , shared a story in which he contrasted the fates of two young women named Tracey and Brianna .
According to McGhee , Tracey was raised in a very good family , but “ she didn ’ t have the DARE program.
” So despite her advantages Tracey found herself in the company of disreputable , drug-using peers and became addicted to methamphetamine .
She was able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of college .
She went on to have three children by three different men , none of whom she married .
Brianna , on the other hand , came from a poor and troubled home presided over by a drug-addicted single mother .
However the DARE program helped her overcome her disadvantages , at least as McGhee told the story , and at the time she was an academically successful 17-year-old surrounded by supportive friends and facing a promising future .
At this point in his address , McGhee went full-M. Night @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a breathtaking twist in the narrative : Brianna ’ s drug-addicted mother was none other than Tracey and McGhee continued , adding a pike to his twist , Tracey was his own 37-year-old daughter .
The lesson , according to McGree , was that it such things can happen to a 30-year veteran police officer — the state coordinator for DARE — no family could possibly be immune to the scourge of drug addiction .
A more compelling moral to the story would be that parents should be reluctant to entrust the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a program presided over by someone who , by his own public admission , experienced such a tragic failure in raising his oldest daughter .
The larger public policy lesson taught by both McGhee ’ s experience and the sentencing of William Furay ’ s so-called teenage “ kingpin ” daughter is that drug warriors should spend their time teaching sound moral lessons to their own children , rather than filling prisons with non-violent offenders , and the coffers of law enforcement agencies with plundered loot .

“You don’t see many drug traffickers retire,” gloated Bill Furay, then-head of the DEA’s office in Beaumont, Texas, following the arrest of a wealthy couple from a tiny neighborhood in Pearland. “Either they end up in prison, or they end up dead.”
Furay, who has since retired from his life of kidnapping and caging people for arbitrary substances deemed illegal by the state, apparently never had time to give that lecture to his teenage daughter, Sarah — who was arrested in 2015 on drug-trafficking charges that just resulted in an 8 year prison sentence.
Furay, a drug dealer who received international attention following her 2015 arrest in College Station, was sentenced earlier this month in a Brazos County courtroom to eight years in prison.
According to KBTX, a spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office says Sarah Furay, who now lives in the Houston-area, received eight years in prison for each of the three drug trafficking charges and the maximum two-year sentence on her single charge of possession of marijuana.
A probable cause statement quoted by NBC affiliate KCEN claimed that police found “31.5 grams of packaged cocaine, 126 grams of high grade marijuana, 29 `ecstasy’ tablets, methamphetamine and 60 doses of a drug similar to LSD” in Sarah Furay’s bedroom. They also reported finding two digital scales, packaging materials, and a handwritten drug price list. Police also found text messages in her phone discussing drug transactions.
The horror.
Sarah pleaded guilty in October and was sentenced this month.
As TFTP reported at the time, Sarah made international headlines because of her good looks and her smiling mugshot. She was deemed by the media as the world’s “most adorable drug kingpin.”
The irony of her father’s job was deep and exposed the dirty underbelly of the war on drugs and its utter failure. When top DEA officials cannot stop their own children from becoming drug kingpins, it’s time to admit that the DEA shouldn’t even exist.
As the late and great Will Grigg wrote for TFTP in 2015:
For many years, Furay styled himself the implacable scourge of drug dealers, becoming a familiar presence at triumphant DEA press conferences announcing mass arrests and seizures of contraband and proceeds.
“Basically, we’re targeting criminal organizations, gangs, trying to hit them where they live and breathe,” Furay boasted following a large-scale bust following “Operation Blood Loss” in 2009. “Operation Agent Orange” in June 2010 propelled Furay into the spotlight yet again: A multi-jurisdictional narcotics task force staged a massive operation spanning several counties to arrest 60 people allegedly involved in a drug-trafficking ring tied to Mexico’s Sinaloa narcotics cartel. US Attorney Malcolm Bates described the narcotics operation as the “United Nations of drug trafficking.” Like most initiatives of its kind, Agent Orange began with information sweated out of low-level dealers seeking a “downward departure” in sentencing in exchange for leniency.
The crackdown netted dozens of suspects, including “Mexicans, Hondurans, Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, Anglos and at least one Pakistani and one Israeli citizen,” according to the Houston Chronicle. “People with first names such as Jesus and Omar are accused of doing business with Mohammad, Shannon, Heather, and Ken.”
“It was like they were delivering pizzas,” commented Furay during a press conference. “It was delivery after delivery.” Furay’s comrade Zoran Yankovich, who headed the DEA’s Houston Division, boasted that Operation Agent Orange “decimated the Pineda organization that was operating in our region and responsible for the distribution of numerous pounds of methamphetamine and cocaine nationwide.”
Taking out a drug syndicate is an exercise in futility akin to bailing out the Pacific Ocean with a thimble. When the DEA “decimated” one narcotics syndicate, all they did was create an opportunity for another one to fill it. While Furay was busy with sting operations, controlled buys, and self-aggrandizing press conferences, he apparently neglected to supervise his young daughter Sarah, who was arrested at her College Station home on November 8, 2015 and faces a variety of narcotics-related charges.
That terrifying prospect notwithstanding, the winsome Miss Furay can be seen smiling broadly in her booking photo, which has been called the “happiest mugshot in America.” After spending a day in jail, the 19-year-old, referred to in press accounts as an “adorable drug kingpin,” posted $39,000 bond and was released.
Although Sarah’s parents are divorced, and her mother has since remarried, “having a mom and dad with well-established positions within departments of law enforcement and education certainly doesn’t hurt when it comes to getting your drug-dealing ass out of jail,” commented Death and Taxes. “Having a mother with strong ties to the community and as a school administrator gives Furay’s attorney the opportunity to argue [the] client as a low flight-risk.”
She did not escape jail, however. What’s more, there is a strong possibility as well that her less-than-admirable life choices reflect the fact that her father was too busy putting other people’s children in prison to give his own daughter the parental attention she needed – but this type of occupation-specific neglect is fairly commonplace among those who enforce drug prohibition.
During a DARE graduation in Payette, Idaho several years ago, Larry McGhee, the state DARE coordinator (and a high-ranking official in the state Peace Officer Standards and Training academy), shared a story in which he contrasted the fates of two young women named Tracey and Brianna. According to McGhee, Tracey was raised in a very good family, but “she didn’t have the DARE program.” So despite her advantages Tracey found herself in the company of disreputable, drug-using peers and became addicted to methamphetamine. She was able to graduate from high school, but dropped out of college. She went on to have three children by three different men, none of whom she married.
Brianna, on the other hand, came from a poor and troubled home presided over by a drug-addicted single mother. However the DARE program helped her overcome her disadvantages, at least as McGhee told the story, and at the time she was an academically successful 17-year-old surrounded by supportive friends and facing a promising future.
At this point in his address, McGhee went full-M. Night Shamalyan, revealing what he apparently regarded as a breathtaking twist in the narrative: Brianna’s drug-addicted mother was none other than Tracey and McGhee continued, adding a pike to his twist, Tracey was his own 37-year-old daughter.
The lesson, according to McGree, was that it such things can happen to a 30-year veteran police officer — the state coordinator for DARE — no family could possibly be immune to the scourge of drug addiction. A more compelling moral to the story would be that parents should be reluctant to entrust the moral and character education of their children to a program presided over by someone who, by his own public admission, experienced such a tragic failure in raising his oldest daughter.
The larger public policy lesson taught by both McGhee’s experience and the sentencing of William Furay’s so-called teenage “kingpin” daughter is that drug warriors should spend their time teaching sound moral lessons to their own children, rather than filling prisons with non-violent offenders, and the coffers of law enforcement agencies with plundered loot.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-14--When It Comes To The CONvid-1984 Vaccine, There Is A History You Should Know About – & That History

When It Comes To The CONvid-1984 Vaccine , There Is A History You Should Know About – & That History Does Matter !
Do you know your history ?
Really ?
Or do you know what you have been indoctrinated in ?
Most people are holding onto their indoctrination of history , written by revisionists who either distort history or leave out vital information when presenting it .
The history of vaccines , viruses and diseases are filled with misinformation .
In a recent piece , former CBS Healthwatch reporter and author of The Matrix Revealed Jon Rappoport reminds us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Now that governments are going to roll out “ a vaccine to save the world ” ( see here and here ) , people should become aware of a history they don ’ t know exists .
The article below was a small section of my book , AIDS INC. , which I wrote in 1987-8 .
At the time , I decided to take a look at vaccines and see what I could find out about them .
My ensuing research led me into all sorts of surprising areas .

Here is what I discovered way back when— “ The combined death rate from scarlet fever , diphtheria , whooping cough and measles among children up to fifteen shows that nearly 90 percent of the total decline in mortality between 1860 and 1965 had occurred before the introduction of antibiotics and widespread immunization .

When It Comes To The CONvid-1984 Vaccine, There Is A History You Should Know About – & That History Does Matter!
Do you know your history? Really? Or do you know what you have been indoctrinated in? Most people are holding onto their indoctrination of history, written by revisionists who either distort history or leave out vital information when presenting it. The history of vaccines, viruses and diseases are filled with misinformation. In a recent piece, former CBS Healthwatch reporter and author of The Matrix Revealed Jon Rappoport reminds us of a history that matters concerning vaccines.
Rappoport writes:
Now that governments are going to roll out “a vaccine to save the world” (see here and here), people should become aware of a history they don’t know exists.
The article below was a small section of my book, AIDS INC. , which I wrote in 1987-8. At the time, I decided to take a look at vaccines and see what I could find out about them.
My ensuing research led me into all sorts of surprising areas.
Since the period of 1987-8, much more has come to light about vaccine safety and efficacy. Here is what I discovered way back when—
“The combined death rate from scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough and measles among children up to fifteen shows that nearly 90 percent of the total decline in mortality between 1860 and 1965 had occurred before the introduction of antibiotics and widespread immunization. In part, this recession may be attributed to improved housing and to a decrease in the virulence of micro-organisms, but by far the most important factor was a higher host-resistance due to better nutrition.” Ivan Illich, Medical Nemesis , Bantam Books, 1977
“In a recent British outbreak of whooping cough, for example, even fully immunized children contracted the disease in fairly large numbers; and the rates of serious complications and death were reduced only slightly. In another recent outbreak of pertussis, 46 of the 85 fully immunized children studied eventually contracted the disease.
“In 1977, 34 new cases of measles were reported on the campus of UCLA, in a population that was supposedly 91% immune, according to careful serological testing. Another 20 cases of measles were reported in the Pecos, New Mexico, area within a period of a few months in 1981, and 75% of them had been fully immunized, some of them quite recently. A survey of sixth-graders in a well-immunized urban community revealed that about 15% of this age group are still susceptible to rubella, a figure essentially identical with that of the pre-vaccine era.” Richard Moskowitz, MD, The Case Against Immunizations , 1983, American Institute of Homeopathy.
“Of all reported whooping cough cases between 1979 and 1984 in children over 7 months of age – that is, old enough to have received the primary course of the DPT shots (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus) – 41% occurred in children who had received three or more shots and 22% in children who had one or two immunizations.
“Among children under 7 months of age who had whooping cough, 34% had been immunized between one and three times…
“… Based on the only U.S. findings on adverse DPT reactions, an FDA-financed study at the University of California, Los Angeles, one out of every 350 children will have a convulsion; one in 180 children will experience high-pitched screaming; and one in 66 will have a fever of 105 degrees or more.” Jennifer Hyman, Democrat and Chronicle, Rochester, New York, special supplement on DPT, dated April, 1987.

“Adminstration of KMV (killed measles vaccine) apparently set in motion an aberrant immunologic response that not only failed to protect children against natural measles, but resulted in heightened susceptibility.” JAMA Aug. 22, 1980, vol. 244, p. 804, Vincent Fulginiti and Ray Helfer. The authors indicate that such falsely protected children can come down with “an often severe, atypical form of measles. Atypical measles is characterized by fever, headache… and a diverse rash (which)… may consist of a mixture of macules, papules, vesicles, and pustules… ”
The above quotes reflect only a mere fraction of an available literature which shows there is a need for an extensive review of vaccination. It is certain that undisclosed, unlooked for illness occurs as a result of vaccines, or as a result of infection after protective immunity should have been conferred but wasn’t. A certain amount of this sort of illness is immunosuppressive in the widest sense, and some in a narrower sense (depression of T-cell numbers, etc.). When looking for unusual illness and immune depression, vaccines are one of those areas which remain partially hidden from investigation. That is a mistake. It is not adequate to say, “Vaccines are simple; they stimulate the immune system and confer immunity against specific germ agents.” That is the glossy presentation. What vaccines often do is something else. They engage some aspect of the body’s immune-response, but to what effect over the long term? Why, for example, do children who have measles vaccine develop a susceptibility to another more severe, atypical measles? Is that virulent form of the disease the result of reactivation of the virus in the vaccine?
Official reports on vaccine reactions are often at odds with unofficial estimates because of the method of analysis used. If vaccine-reaction is defined as a small set of possible effects experienced within 72 hours of an inoculation, then figures will be smaller. But doctors like G.T. Stewart, of the University of Glasgow, have found through meticulous investigation, including visits to hospitals and interviews with parents of vaccinated children, that reactions as severe as brain-damage (e.g., from the DPT vaccine) can be overlooked, go unreported and can be assumed mistakenly to have come from other causes.

New Zealand Crimes Act will make illegal to ‘intentionally stir up hatred against racial or religious groups’

New Zealand Crimes Act will make illegal to ‘ intentionally stir up hatred against racial or religious groups ’ This is the pattern for how the Anglosphere will discard the freedom of speech and move into a new era of authoritarianism .
And there are two primary problems here : 1 .
The Crimes Act will make it “ illegal to intentionally stir up hatred against racial or religious groups.
” But who will determine whether or not this hatred was stirred up “ intentionally ” or not ?
Who can judge anyone else ’ s intentions ?
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being empowered to silence anyone they wish , under the pretext that he or she is stirring up hatred .

There is no reason why this should be so .
If it were , then criticism of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of any teachings that contain genuine incitement to violence , could also be considered to be stirring up hatred , and silenced accordingly .
But since it is taken for granted in the establishment media and even by many governing authorities that to discuss Islam ’ s violent and oppressive teachings is to stir up hatred , that discussion will be silenced , and jihadis will be able to advance unopposed and unimpeded .
Ardern is doing this , of course , because of the Christchurch mosque massacres .
They reinforced the idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , even criticism that rejects any violence or vigilantism , as well as any targeting of innocent people at all .
Yet thirty thousand jihad attacks committed in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings since 9/11 have not convinced Ardern or any other governing authority that criticism of the infidels , as well as direct calls for violence against them , leads to violence , and must accordingly be silenced .
That would be “ Islamophobic.

This is the pattern for how the Anglosphere will discard the freedom of speech and move into a new era of authoritarianism. And there are two primary problems here:
1. The Crimes Act will make it “illegal to intentionally stir up hatred against racial or religious groups.” But who will determine whether or not this hatred was stirred up “intentionally” or not? Who can judge anyone else’s intentions? This is just opening the door to governing authorities being empowered to silence anyone they wish, under the pretext that he or she is stirring up hatred. So it’s starting New Zealand on the way to becoming a totalitarian state.
2. The Left and Islamic supremacist groups have insisted for years that to speak about Islam’s teachings regarding jihad violence and the oppression of women, gays and others is to stir up hatred against Muslims. There is no reason why this should be so. If it were, then criticism of any group whatsoever, or honest analysis of any teachings that contain genuine incitement to violence, could also be considered to be stirring up hatred, and silenced accordingly. But since it is taken for granted in the establishment media and even by many governing authorities that to discuss Islam’s violent and oppressive teachings is to stir up hatred, that discussion will be silenced, and jihadis will be able to advance unopposed and unimpeded.

The ICU capacity metric was built to fail. Just like California’s water and power, the ruling Democrats create disasters, and respond with rationing and misery, while blaming the public.
When there is a dry winter, as this one is likely to be, they don’t take the blame for failing to build dams, instead, they blame the public for using too much water. When blackouts take down power across entire neighborhoods, they don’t take the blame for reducing reliable power sources and replacing them with worthless solar and wind boondoggles, instead they blame the public for not caring about the planet by running air conditioners in 110 degree weather.
Now, after almost a year of this circus, the same gang of corrupt clowns who did next to nothing to increase ICU capacity are blaming the shutdown on Californians not wearing enough masks.
California Democrats have stolen and squandered the natural wealth of an incredible state, and whenever a disaster happens, they scold the public for not being willing enough to live in misery.
The latest lockdowns may be flattening another curve: tolerance for these corrupt lying scolds.
