Hillary Clinton, whose campaign paid a guy to fabricate Russian conspiracy theories against Donald Trump during the 2016 US election, says that Republican Senators who vote to acquit the former president for allegedly inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol riot are “co-conspirators.”

“If Senate Republicans fail to convict Donald Trump, it won’t be because the facts were with him or his lawyers mounted a competent defense,” Clinton said in a Wednesday tweet. “It will be because the jury includes his co-conspirators.”

Twitter continues its purge of conservative voices – this time banning conservative watchdog group Project Veritas, just hours after the social media giant locked founder James O’Keefe’s personal account.

Twitter is once again being called out for its free speech hypocrisy and double-dealing when it comes to influential and wealthy foreign governments allied closely with Washington. In this latest case Twitter has purged accounts of recent Saudi political prisoners.

Despite headlines discussing COVID ‘plateaus‘ and ‘dramatic declines‘ in the United States, the Biden administration is mulling whether to impose domestic travel restrictions over concerns that “coronavirus mutations are threatening to reverse hard-fought progress on the pandemic,” according to the

We already know based on objective, impartial, empirical data, that there’s not much difference in COVID-19 case counts/hospitalizations/deaths in states that mandate masks and business restrictions (such as North Dakota) vs states which do not (such as its southern neighbor).

In America’s ‘Uncivil War,’ Republicans Are the Aggressors (DonkeyHotey)

From FiveThirtyEight: “In his inaugural address, President Biden described America as in the midst of an “uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal.” His invocation of a civil war and the American Civil War was provocative.

Former US President Donald Trump will never be allowed to have a Twitter account again after his @realdonaldtrump handle was banned, Twitter CFO Ned Segal confirmed on Wednesday.

Segal stated during a CNBC interview following their earnings release:

“If you are removed from the platform, you are removed from the platform… Remember, our policies are designed to make sure that people are not inciting violence.”

Former President Trump’s second impeachment trial hinges on two defense arguments. The first is that it may be unconstitutional to impeach a former president. The second? That Trump was protected under the First Amendment.

The Capitol Siege: The Arrested and Their Stories (Bethany)

The authors write, “Nearly every day since insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol, the list of those charged in the attack has grown longer. The government has now identified more than 200 people for their alleged role in the Jan. 6 rioting, which ended with five people dead, including a U.S.

Ben Nimmo, a former NATO press officer and current senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, has announced Facebook has hired him to “lead global threat intelligence strategy against influence operations” and “emerging threats.” Nimmo specifically named Russia, Iran and China as potential dangers to the platform.

Using Connections to Trump, Dershowitz Became Force in Clemency Grants

The lawyer Alan M. Dershowitz, who represented the former president in his first impeachment trial, used his access for a wide array of clients as they sought pardons or commutations.

The main focus of the impeachment trial that is about to be decided by the US Senate will be the guilt or innocence of Donald Trump, but it is fair to say that the trial will also be a test of a Republican Party that he has largely reshaped and ultimately deformed.

A town in Florida has been target of a hack which briefly altered chemicals in its water supply to “potentially damaging levels” according to local media reports.

Over a month ago, we correctly predicted today’s “shock” announcement by Tesla, in which Elon Musk’s company decided to pivot once again, this time into the word of cryptocurrencies, by purchasing $1.5 billion in bitcoin (an amount which will give it tremendous leeway in non-GAAP financial when accounting for XBT Mark-to-Market moves, giving it even more buffer to beat estimates).

Fueling tensions amid an already spiraling trade dispute between the two countries, China has formally arrested an Australian citizen and journalist after she was initially detained under mysterious circumstances last summer.

The now formal arrest of Cheng Lei is under charges of “illegally supplying state secrets overseas” after she long worked as a popular news anchor and analyst for China’s state-run English language news service, CGTN.

A new Twitter app encourages people to ‘fight disinformation’ by blocking over 800 New York Times reporters.

“It’s time to block,” reads an introductory tweet from @blocknyt (www.blocknyt.com). “Twitter users have begun mass-blocking New York Times-linked accounts to control the flood of corporate disinformation online.”

“For a limited time, block 800 NYT reporters for the low price of $0,” the tweet continues.

In retrospect, it was not only inevitable but clearly obvious… at least to those who read us.

Why the Pandemic Is 10 Times Worse Than You Think (Reader Pat)

The author writes, “Ever since the coronavirus reached the U.S., officials and citizens alike have gauged the severity of the spread by tracking one measure in particular: How many new cases are confirmed through testing each day.

While America’s streets filled with protesters last year to proclaim “Black Lives Matter” and to rail against police brutality, Mexico’s streets echoed with their own strong voices for a different cause — “Legal Abortion Now.” Protests erupted in historic ways in many parts of the country. They came strong and fast; the changes, though, were nonexistent. In all of Mexico’s 32 states, women can still go to jail for having an abortion.

« Avec l’établissement de ces standards rudimentaires, nous devons viser à construire, à travers une organisation administrative appropriée, un salaire minimum, sur des bases de justice et de raison, industrie par industrie, aussi porter un regard fait d’obligation sur les inégalités locales et géographiques de manière générale et sur les conséquences des conditions de travail déloyales dans les rapports de concurrence dans les échanges commerciaux entre les Etats et sur le maintien de rapports industriels harmonieux. »

Exactly one year ago today, Zero Hedge was ‘enjoying’ their suspension by Twitter after they pointed out that scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been experimenting on bat coronaviruses, and that investigators trying to determine the origins of the COVID-19 outbreak might want to have a word with them.

In a new interview with CBS Evening News, President Biden confirmed that his administration will not be lifting sanctions imposed upon Iran in order to bring Tehran to the negotiating table for the restoration of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal.

“Will the U.S. lift sanctions first in order to get Iran back to the negotiating table?” Biden was asked by CBS’s Norah O’Donnell.

“No,” the president replied.

After data was shared last week suggesting that the AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID vaccine is substantially less effective against the new COVID variant first isolated in South Africa, it looks like more questions about the efficacy of the first wave of vaccines are about to be raised, as the FT warns of a new study showing that the AZ vaccine is even less effective against the SA variant than initially believed, and often fails to prevent infections involving the new strain.

Gradually, and then all at once, America’s generations-long war on drugs is unraveling — so quickly that it is easy to be deceived. 

Monday was the first day of across-the-board drug decriminalization in Oregon, where small-time possession of all drugs — heroin, crack, magic mushrooms, LSD, bath salts, etc. — is now punishable by nothing more than a $100 fine.

In a high-quality dementia care facility, confused residents who are at risk of unsafe wandering are skillfully redirected away from exit doors by staff members who are trained to provide them with the illusion of freedom while still keeping them in the safety of the care home. A propaganda-addled populace wandering around trying to find an escape from its oppressors is redirected in very much the same way.
