It was posted by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) 80th Group on their social network Weibo. The war message over the potential US visit to Taiwan reportedly generated over 300,000 thumbs-up in just 12 hours, creating “high morale among Chinese solderis” according to Global Times. ***** Robert F. Kennedy says Google is a vaccine company: “They can tell what you’re buying habits are. They can hear you cough, listening to Siri. All of these surveillance systems that are acting in the information systems and how we use them and what we purchase is all turned into sellable data.” ***** Steve Kirsch, founder of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, says the COVID vaccine is 1,000 times more deadly than the smallpox vaccine, and the smallpox vaccine was deemed to be too dangerous to give to people. “Instead of killing one person per million, you’re killing somewhere in the order of 1,000 people per million. And now, I may be off by a factor of two on that. But it’s somewhere on the order of half a million Americans have been killed by this vaccine,” said Kirsch in an interview with Greg Hunter.
By John Solomon Two senior Republicans likely to chair House investigative committees next year if the GOP wins control of Congress say they are prepared to compel testimony from Hunter and James Biden about their overseas business deals and to use the power of the purse to force the FBI to address long-simmering questions about its integrity. Rep. James Comer (RKy.) told the "Just the News, Not Noise" television show on Thursday night that if he wins the chairmanship of the powerful House Oversight and Government Reform Committee next January, he will methodically look to compel testimony from President Joe Biden's son and brother. "We're gonna ask them to testify, and when they say no, then we'll subpoena them," Comer said in a wide-ranging interview. "So that'll be probably the first subpoena issued by a Republican majority." Comer stressed that the subpoena wasn't an effort at further political embarrassment of an alreadyunpopular president, but rather an attempt to address the legitimate national security and ethics questions surrounding the Biden family's dealings with companies in countries like Russia, China and Ukraine. "It's not that we're picking on Hunter Biden for political reasons," he said. "We believe that Hunter Biden and his
shady business dealings have compromised Joe Biden in some of the decisions that he's making, especially when you look at decisions he's made with respect to China, and with respect to Russia. So we consider this a priority for the American people." He added: "We should consider this a national security risk, and we're not going to let up on it."

Jim Jordan of Ohio, told "Just the News, Not Noise" he has specific information from FBI whistleblowers that agents and prosecutors have been engaged in political tampering with sensitive cases and that they have also been inflating statistics to make the domestic terrorism problem in the United States look worse than it is. "They're juicing the numbers, plain and simple," Jordan said, describing the whistleblowers' allegations. "They set up this this office on domestic terrorism just a few months ago. This has been a big focus of the Democrats because they can't talk about everything else that they've done wrong, every policy decision they made that's been a disaster. So they've got this focus. And we've had whistleblowers now, multiple whistleblowers, come to us and tell us they're being pressured to catalog cases as domestic terrorism cases to, I think, fit this whole crazy political narrative that the Biden

administration has." Jordan, the likely chairman of the House Judiciary Committee next year should Republicans win in November, has repeatedly been rebuffed by FBI Director Chris Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland when seeking answers and evidence about alleged wrongdoing inside their agencies. But he said Republicans have a strategy to change that dynamic next year, using Congress' power of the purse through budget appropriations. "We can continue to do the investigations, get the facts and the truth to the American people," he said. "We can look at the appropriations process, which is the legislature's job to get the executive branch of governments funded. "And then hopefully, in two years, we can elect a Republican president. I think and hope it's going to be President Trump. I think he's going to run. I hope he does, and I want him to win. And then you put in place the right kind of leadership at the Justice Department, who will actually rein that institution in, get rid of the politics and focus on equal treatment under the law, the rule of law, the Constitution, and not all the political things that we see now." On the Hunter Biden probe, Comer questioned why the FBI has taken four years to decide whether to charge Hunter Biden with crimes, promising Republicans will disclose the approximately 150 transactions

By Greg Piper The newly revealed scope of collaboration between the feds and Big Tech in stamping out purported COVID-19 misinformation and promoting government narratives has opened a new chapter in constitutional challenges to stateinfluenced censorship by private actors. On Wednesday night, America First Legal (AFL) published the first 286-page batch of emails among CDC, Google, Twitter and Meta staffers, some of whom were former Hill and White House aides. The production was compelled through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, and typical of government document dumps, it's not text-searchable. The emails show intimate cooperation was well underway by the time the White House a year ago acknowledged the effort, which included thinly veiled threats for not more aggressively removing content. New Civil Liberties Alliance attorney Jenin Younes told Just the News it incorporated "the revelations about the CDC emails" into a filing Thursday seeking to reopen its case against the feds on behalf of deplatformed users. A federal court dismissed that litigation a month before a whistleblower leaked documents suggesting the Department of Homeland Security's since-scrapped Disinformation Governance Board planned to "operationalize" its relationship with social media companies to remove content. NCLA cited those documents in its initial motion to reopen in June. File NCLA motion to reopen.pdf
The document dump by AFL, led by former Trump White House senior advisor Stephen Miller, is also likely to help a lawsuit by Missouri and Louisiana attorneys general against the feds for alleged collusion with Big Tech to censor information on COVID's origins, Hunter Biden's laptop and vote-by-mail security. The feds filed a motion to dismiss two weeks ago for lack of legal standing and failure to state a claim. The AGs' responses aren't due until next week. AFL's documents show the CDC shared specific tweets and Facebook and Instagram posts as examples of content to remove, including an interview with a former Pfizer vice president, Michael Yeadon, who advised against taking "top up" vaccines, meaning boosters. The agency inserted its own COVID recommendations into Google's code, received $15 million in Facebook ad credits to promote its messaging, and even notified Facebook that Wyoming's public health messages were getting throttled as misinformation. CDC digital media branch chief Carol Crawford, the sender on many of the emails, sent Facebook a suggested "quiz" that tells users to get vaccinated even if they have natural immunity, which a new study in the New England Journal of Medicine found more effective than two-dose vaccination against symptomatic Omicron BA.2 infection. She suggested adding a paragraph to Facebook posts mentioning the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System that emphasizes the system accepts reports from any-
