The Federal Election Commission has ruled foreign donors can finance U.S. referendum campaigns, opening the door to foreign spending on fights over high-profile policy issues, Axios has learned. Why it matters: Foreign nationals are barred from donating to U.S. political candidates or committees. But the FEC's decision — allowing them to support ballot committees — provides another avenue for foreigners to directly influence U.S. voters and domestic policy. ***** The decision only concerns federal law; states remain free to outlaw foreign funding for state-registered ballot committees. Seven states already do so. In Maine, where a Canadian-owned power company is financing...

The rollouts and usage of vaccine passports are proving problem-laden in many places around the world, wither on technical or ethical merit, or both (or lack thereof), and the newest member of this “club” is an app called Docket, that is the endorsed Covid vaccine app in US states of Utah and New Jersey. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also approved the app. But just last week, reports revealed that Docket was yet another app that had a security vulnerability. TechCrunch said it was responsible for identifying the bug and submitting a report, while the CEO of...

Earlier this year, when COVID-19 vaccines started rolling out, Facebook introduced new policies to censor “misinformation.” Now, the company has extended the policies to include kids, after the FDA authorized the emergency use of the Pfizer jab for kids between the ages of 5 and 11. The company will also not allow claims that the vaccines can cause severe harm or kill children. Facebook will also not allow claims that the vaccines are ineffective on kids and any claim that anything other than the approved vaccines can protect kids from the virus. Facebook claimed that its vaccine misinformation policies are...

Pfizer on Tuesday raised the full-year sales forecast for its Covid-19 vaccine by 7.5% to $36 billion, as it signs deals with countries for booster doses and receives clearances for using its shots in children. The company said it is also on track to deliver 2.3 billion doses of the vaccine, out of the roughly 3 billion it plans to make this year. Driven by an unprecedented vaccination drive against the Covid-19 pandemic globally, Pfizer’s shot has quickly become one of the best-selling products in the company’s roughly 172-year history. The company equally splits expenses and profit from the vaccine...

Explanation: We've seen this same supernova three times -- when will we see it a fourth? When a distant star explodes in a supernova, we're lucky if we see it even once. In the case of AT 2016jka ("SN Requiem"), because the exploding star happened to be lined up behind the center of a galaxy cluster (MACS J0138 in this case), a comparison of Hubble Space Telescope images demonstrate that we saw it three times. These three supernova images are highlighted in circles near the bottom of the left frame taken in 2016. On the right frame, taken in 2019,...

In a column called the Ron Paul Weekly Column, published by the Ron Paul Institute, the former House Representative from Texas warned about the “unique patient identifier.” According to Dr. Paul, the policy will “destroy what remains of our medical privacy.” In both the Senate and the House, there are bills that, on passing, will remove a provision prohibiting the creation of a “unique patient identifier.” The law preventing the creation of the unique patient identifier, sponsored by Dr. Paul, was passed in 1998. Proponents of the system argue that it would make it easy to track and verify the...

Alec Baldwin took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a message on Instagram from one of the "Rust" movie crew members. He captioned the post: "Read this." The post came from Terese Davis, who appears to have been a part of the costume department. "I'm so sick of this narrative," Davis began. "I worked on this movie. The story being spun of us being overworked and surrounded by unsafe, chaotic conditions is bulls--t." Davis then discussed the amount of time the crew worked and how they were not "too tired to do their jobs." "This is all provable by daily...

In 1992, an estimated half a million people gathered on the National Mall for a rally for abortion rights. The speakers made many of the same arguments that abortion-rights advocates have made for decades, arguing that government shouldn’t limit people’s ability to make decisions about their own bodies. But in nearly four hours of speeches, no one stepped up to the mic and said, “I have had an abortion.” In fact, some of the arguments would likely come across as timid to today’s abortion-rights activists. “Nobody likes abortion. Let’s get that straight,” said Ron Silver, the now-deceased actor and founder...

ransomnote: At the top of articles like this one in The Expose, there's a link to play an audio version of this article. I've always seen these and never mentioned them, but perhaps some would not have time to sit and read but could instead play these storys while driving or otherwise occupied.No one knows how many people the vaccines are killing – or how many they will kill.But although I haven’t seen the mainstream media mention most of these deaths, people have already died or been injured after being given the vaccine:SHOCKING – The latest covid vaccine deaths and...

“So they’re also making fun of the mainstream media on this and their inaccuracy and spin that they’re putting on things. ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ is sort of a double message; they don’t like Biden, but they also don’t like the media,” he said. The other thing the press misses in the split between liberals and conservatives is the humor, Sracic said. “People aren’t doing this necessarily in a mean-spirited way. It’s funny to them. It’s funny that a reporter misstated what people were saying about Joe Biden.” The movement also exposes the differences felt by conservatives and liberals over the...

Break Free By Kevin Homer, MDNovember 2, 2021The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians–George Orwell, 1948The President is losing patience. Six quarters into the emergency, the FDA has authorized COVID-19 vaccines down to five years of age. The CDC maintains these vaccines are safe and effective. Vaccinations are mandated by powerful employers, high ranking generals, and top government officials. Most of the medical community are on board. Failure to comply costs income and freedom. It’s intimidating. Many have submitted to the pressure. These policies have concentrated authority and power in a few “experts”...

The FDA Acting Commissioner, Janet Woodchuck, and the FDA Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee personnel were awarded the 2nd Annual Josef Mengele Human Experimentation Award for defecating on professional ethics, medical science and morality in their approval of the Pfizer CCP Wuhan/NIH Fauci vaccine for children 5 through 11, each receiving their own "30 pieces of silver". It was a close call awarding the Mengele award this year as the competition was extreme. Doctors Collins and Fouci, at the NIH, came in late with the use of dog torture and human baby parts experimentation, but those were greatly...

@ElijahSchaffer Jan 6th inmates to be moved out of “D.C. jail after a recent surprise inspection found evidence of “systemic” mistreatment of detainees, including unsanitary living conditions and the punitive denial of food and water, officials said.”

The Washington Post must immediately institute mandatory substance testing for its employees. The imperative arises in light of a column today by one of its opinion writers that would seemingly be the result of the author ingesting some seriously mind-bending stuff. The columnist is Greg Sargent, and the headline is "Glenn Youngkin’s repulsive final push reveals a dark truth for Democrats." And just what is that "dark truth," according to Sargent? It's that Terry McAuliffe might lose his Virginia governor's race because Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin has benefited from: "a right-wing media network that has no rival on the Democratic...

Anna De Buisseret, a UK lawyer, was at the Freedom March in London on Saturday, 30 October 2021. Children’s Health Defense managed to catch up with her at Parliament Square. De Buisseret gave an update on court cases regarding children and serving notice of liabilities to schools and others involved in facilitating, promoting or injecting children with an experimental novel genetic treatment: “the person who is injecting someone is committing the actual act. Anyone who’s: facilitating that, promoting it, marketing it – is aiding and abetting. If they’re silent they are complicit,” she said.“Hold the line. Stand your ground. Step...

On Monday, the Supreme Court heard challenges to the draconian Texas anti-choice law, a proceeding that might well be the first tolling of the death knell for the reproductive freedom that ensued after the Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade. This is undoubtedly a momentous bit of business, especially in the context of how we came to this 6-3 conservative majority on the high bench. However, on Friday, when very few people were watching, the Court took another action that is equally terrifying. Remember when Steve Bannon was yammering about destroying “the administrative state”? Members of the Supreme Court do.

A Democratic Virginia delegate was pulled over by police less than 24 hours before Election Day after a deputy witnessed a woman taking campaign signs and getting into a car the delegate was driving. Delegate Chris Hurst was pulled over by police in Radford, Virginia, on Monday evening after a deputy with the Radford Sheriff's office saw a woman taking campaign signs that were on display outside the city recreation center and then getting into a car Hurst was driving, according to Radford Sheriff Mark Armentrout. Police found that Hurst was driving the vehicle with a suspended license, and he...
