FBI director tells WEF future of national security is in partnership between tech companies and government
FBI Director Christopher Wray spoke at the World Economic Forum's meeting in Davos on Tuesday, accompanying his private meeting with banking leaders with a panel on cybersecurity. The panel on national security and cybersecurity focused on the conflict in Ukraine, using that war as a lens through which to discuss partnerships between tech companies and government, AI, and autonomous vehicles.
"The sophistication of the private sector is improving, and particularly important, the level of collaboration between the private sector and the government. Especially the FBI has I think made significant strides. We are focused on looking at cyber attacks," Wray said. His comments are in-line with WEF founder Klaus Schwab's ideas on how leaders should "master the future" through public and private partnerships. — The Post Millennial
Our Take: “Trust Wray? Maybe. We can always leave an avenue for trust to be earned, but espousing "collaboration" between the Federal government and the private sector—namely, big tech—might not be the best way to earn the public's trust. That being said, it could be that Wray is playing a part, knowingly or otherwise, but it could also be the case that he has cast his lot with the international ruling elite. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.” — Ryan DeLarme
Former Airline Pilot Says Elites Are Actively Searching for Unvaccinated Aviators to Crew Their Planes - But Would Any Accept the Offer?
In a farcical turn of events, some wealthy executives reportedly are demanding that unvaccinated pilots fly their private jets as concerns about the potential dangers of the coronavirus vaccine escalate.
Alan Dana, a former pilot for Australia’s Jetstar, made the stunning assertion in an interview with Maria Zeee of Australia’s Red Voice Media in July.
“Josh Yoder — he’s the president of the U.S. Freedom Flyers — he said they’re getting calls now from wealthy businessmen and companies to fly their executives around on business jets with unvaccinated crew,” Dana said. — The Western Journal
Our Take: “Two points here to consider: First, we don't know if the elite are looking for pilots that are unvaxxed, but we do know that pilots are now being trained on how to deal with sudden issues during flight (and a pilot died in mid flight last year). Second, be sure to get granular with fact checks you see out there. The MSM is working hard to discredit valid news with bogus fact checks. By examining each thread and datapoint carefully, it provides a solid foundation so that false claims—by people or the media—are easily spotted.” — Justin Deschamps
Donald Trump prepares for his return to Facebook and Twitter
Former President Donald Trump is looking to return to Twitter and Facebook. Trump, whose account was reinstated following the purchasing of Twitter by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, has stuck to his own platform, Truth Social, despite his account's unsuspended status.
A Republican with knowledge of private discussions on Trump's potential return to Twitter, who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity, said, "Trump is probably coming back to Twitter. It’s just a question of how and when. He’s been talking about it for weeks, but Trump speaks for Trump, so it’s anyone’s guess what he’ll do or say or when." — The Post Millennial
Our Take: “Trump’s potential return to Twitter comes at a time when Resident Biden is facing more and more challenges in his own Administration. Anonymous “GOP sources” aren’t really to be trusted; however, a potential return to Twitter by President Trump could signal an oncoming shift in public perception and narrative as he gears up for a return to the White House.” — Absolute1776
Biden classified document investigation: Secret Service ready to provide Delaware visitors, source says
“The U.S. Secret Service is prepared to offer names of individuals who visited President Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home if requested by Congress, Fox News has learned.
The White House continues to insist that there exists no formal visitor log for the personal residence where two troves of classified documents were found.
[But] the Secret Service does collect information on guests with regular access to the home.” — FOX News
Our Take: “While Biden's Delaware home reportedly does not keep visitor logs, the Secret Service does set up checkpoints around the home and does screen visitors to the residence, and as part of that work, they DO keep logs. This report, from an anonymous source, looks to be a signal to House GOP that if they ask for these records, they will be provided with them. Even if that is not the case, House GOP should request them anyway and let the White House attempt to block the Secret Service from turning them over.” — Just Human
Al Gore Attempts Own 'Greta Moment' In Unhinged Davos Rant: "Equivalent Of 600,000 Hiroshima Bombs Daily" — ZeroHedge
Our Take: “The World Economic Forum has rapidly transformed from a secretive Club of Rome among the self-described ‘Elite’ to a memetic event wherein those same Globalist psychopaths alternate between congratulating one another for their draconian policies and agendas and shouting about how much more they need to subjugate us plebs for the world to truly be a better place. The thing is, this month’s edition of the summit has seen several familiar figures adopt significantly more aggressive tones amidst increasing public backlash toward collectivist policies. Methinks Gore and his cronies doth protest too much?” — Burning Bright
NHL Issues Statement on Player Who Refused to Wear 'Pride' Jersey - LGBT Activists Furious
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov is getting the last laugh after deranged leftists attacked him for refusing to wear an LGBT “pride” jersey, citing his Christian beliefs.
The brouhaha erupted Tuesday when the Flyers had their “Pride Night” promotion at the Wells Fargo Arena, which involved players wearing rainbow uniforms during pregame warmups.
Provorov declined to participate, citing his Russian Orthodox faith. — The Western Journal
Our Take: “America is sick and tired of the woke agenda, and as such, Americans were exceptionally happy to go show their support for this young man who refused to turn his back on his faith. This is how the silent majority becomes loud. This is where the rubber meets the road. This is where cancel culture attempts to silence dissenting voices. Long gone are the days when people could escape politics and steer clear of societies nuances and proclivities of being politically correct. They don't want sports as an escape, but rather a virtue signal tool. Here is an example where freedom of speech is once again questioned over the moral compass of one's beliefs. Since the NHL refused to completely cave for this players right to stand up for himself, cancel culture activates. However, much like the NFL and MLB, this is a slippery slope for the NHL. Moreover, this destroys the human experience of getting together to enjoy life and put the issues down.” — Johnny Q and Absolute1776
WEF: United States Will Soon Make Hate Speech Illegal, Says EU Commissioner
The United States will soon follow Europe in implementing laws against so-called hate speech, a top Eurocrat claimed at the World Economic Forum’s meeting in Davos.
The vice president for Values and Transparency for the European Commission, Věra Jourová predicted on Tuesday that hate speech laws will be imposed upon the American public, despite longstanding case law at the Supreme Court protecting such speech under the First Amendment.
“Illegal hate speech, which you will have soon also in the U.S. I think that we have a strong reason why we have this in the criminal law,” Jourová said. — Breitbart
Our Take: “Věra Jourová, the vice president for Values and Transparency for the European Commission, ominously suggested this week that the United States would soon be following Europe's lead in implementing laws against the use of "hate speech." We all know by now that hate speech really consists of any language that expresses frustration or distrust toward the various ideologies that comprise "wokeness," and, in turn, the Davos agenda. General Flynn lays out their playbook succinctly in his new Fifth-Gen Warfare manual: curate the various subgroups for the general population, pit neighbor against neighbor, and then label the rhetoric of any group that threatens the social order as "hate speech." What these maniacs in Davos seem to forget is that we have something in America called the 1st Amendment, and we are willing to defend it.” — Ryan DeLarme
Researchers Claim Coffee Is Contributing To Climate Change
First red meat, then gas stoves, and now coffee.
Researchers from Canada are currently analyzing coffee’s “contribution to climate change”.
The new analysis was published by researchers from the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi in a piece titled “Here’s how your cup of coffee contributes to climate change”
In their analysis researchers concluded “Limiting your contribution to climate change requires an adapted diet, and coffee is no exception. Choosing a mode of coffee preparation that emits less GHGs (greenhouse gases) and moderating your consumption are part of the solution.” — The Gateway Pundit
Our Take: “Climate change is one of many boogymen that the cabal use to drive the people into irrational fear, which they later solve using their "solutions" that almost always give them more power and take away more of our rights and property. If we don't question these claims, publicly, they stand as fact. The truth must be defended. In this case, coffee must be defended!” — Justin Deschamps
Statement of the Court Regarding the Leak Investigation
The investigation into who leaked the draft opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org. to POLITICO on May 2nd, 2022 has been "unable to identify a person responsible by a preponderance of the evidence."
126 interviews of 97 personel were conducted, devices were collected and analyzed, call and text logs were provided by the employees, internet search history was gathered from service providers, printer logs, operating systems, finger prints...all were analyzed, and connections between employees and journalists were scrutinized.
Ultimately, "while investigators and the Court’s IT experts cannot absolutely rule out a hack, the evidence to date reveals no suggestion of improper outside access..." nor can "...the possibility that the draft opinion was inadvertently or negligently disclosed" be eliminated.
If the leak was indeed intentional, "that individual was evidently able to act without being detected by any of the Court’s IT systems."
Our Take: “The draft was intentionally leaked by Patriots—by 'white hats'— so that the potentially violent response by Leftist Terrorist Groups could be assessed and negated ahead of the opinion being revealed by the Court in June.” — Just Human
Facebook, Instagram Just Updated Their Policy To Allow Images Of Bare Breasts On The Platforms — But Only For ‘Trans,’ ‘Non-Binary’
Facebook and its subsidiary Instagram are modifying their regulations to allow transgender and non-binary users to post photos and videos featuring their bare breasts, according to an update published on Meta’s advisory board.
The same rules will not apply to biological females. The tech oligarchs will not permit women who identify as female to flash their bare breasts on the social media platforms.
[…]
Cisgender women, a person who identifies as their biological sex and gender, will not be allowed to post images of their bare breast, the board underscores in the decision.
“The same image of female-presenting nipples would be prohibited if posted by a cisgender woman but permitted if posted by an individual self-identifying as non-binary,” Meta Oversight Board states in the policy which was published on its website on Jan. 17. — The Gateway Pundit
Our Take: “Cultural warfare tactics have been a staple of nefarious parasitic rulers for a very long time. But recently, the use of "soft-eugenics" has been the method of choice. Since culling the population—killing billions—to meet the population goals of the WEF et al is a disagreeable proposition to most sane people, the globalists now use subtle 5th Generational Warfare methods to achieve their goals. And it's working. But this isn't the only goal. For those who choose not to sterilize themselves with gender bending pharmaceuticals, the more rational and freedom-oriented will find it increasingly difficult to achieve their political aims, while having to share the political space with trans-ideologists, who are incapable of debate, discussion and acknowledgement of obvious truths. Thus, by engendering trans ideology—denying the truth of sex—a population of truth-detached people, who can easily be weaponized against political opposition, is at the disposal of the globalists.” — Justin Deschamps
ANDY NGO REPORTS: Seven charged with domestic terrorism following deadly shooting at Atlanta autonomous zone
Seven militants have been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism following a deadly shootout with law enforcement at their "autonomous zone" in a wooded area south of Atlanta. They are all from out of state.
On Wednesday morning, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies conducted a raid on the so-called autonomous zone at the site of the future Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. Since June 2021, Antifa and other far-left extremists from across the US have occupied the area to prevent the construction of what they call a "cop city." The GBI says a Georgia State Patrol trooper was shot and severely injured during Wednesday’s raid by a man camped in the area. Officers returned fire and killed the gunman, who allegedly used a pistol. — The Post Millennial
Our Take: “Contrary to popular belief, Antifa is more than just the "idea" Joe Biden claimed them to be after the riots in 2020. Fourth and fifth generational warfare require civilian proxy groups or "useful idiots' to make the maneuverings of the invisible enemy appear natural. Though the bulk of the groups personnel are misguided individuals who've been thoroughly manipulated and want a reason to feel important, there are more organized elements guiding these people. This group, whose members are deluded enough to believe they belong to some kind of "resistance," are essentially a loose-knit willingly militant civilian proxy army of the far left. similar to the pre-Nazi Sturmabteilung, who thoroughly embody that which they claim to hate. This recent shooting in Georgia has since caused these militants to call for violence against the police and anyone they decide isn't a "comrade." Honoring their deceased friends memory by inciting an event that could potentially lead to more shootings is the perfect example of the level of intelligence you can expect from Antifa.” — Ryan DeLarme

I love everything you write, so thank you.
Since it’s real early where I live, let’s start with some good news:
Ivan’s hockey jerseys have completely sold out on
NHL Shop and Fanatic.
I believe ( someone can tell me if I am wrong), that when President Trump comes back on Twitter there will be two tweets, one about Obama and the other ‘ The Storm is Upon Us’. To me that is good news ( others may disagree).
For all the WEF ( who want to destroy humanity), well there are 8 billion people on this earth as of two days ago. There are a lot more of us than them.
So you keep using your awesome gifts of writing and if the rest of us keep using the gifts we have ,we will defeat them.
Take care and have a great day!
