“One of two fired scientists at the centre of an RCMP investigation into a massive security breach at Canada’s top infectious-disease laboratory in Winnipeg is working in China and collaborating with researchers from the People’s Liberation Army,” the Globe and Mail reported in February. The fired scientist is Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, someone Americans should get to know, though they may already be familiar with her work in an indirect sort of way. Already a medical doctor, Qiu obtained her Master of Science degree in immunology at Tianjin Medical University in 1990. She moved to Canada for graduate studies in 1996...

The criticism of Hamas by residents of the Gaza Strip is increasing... BBC published a video of a man injured as a result of the rescue operation of the four hostages in Operation Arnon, saying: “I’m one of you, but you are a cowardly people. We could have avoided this attack!” It was also noted that the criticism after Operation Arnon increased especially regarding the concealment of hostages within the civilian population in general and in crowded places in particular. Residents of the Gaza Strip said that they encounter more and more curses and insults against Hamas leaders on the...

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold: Our friend the Dutch gold researcher Jaco Schipper today calls attention to a May 15 report from the public broadcasting service in the Netherlands, NOS, about the government's new fortress gold vault in the town of Zeist: https://nos.nl/artikel/2475275-hoe-verplaats-je-in-het-geheim-15-miljard-aan-goudstaven-en-geld At the conclusion of the report an official of the Dutch central bank, Coen Voormeulen, makes a remark that is reminiscent of Dutch gold researcher Jan Nieuwenhuijs' reporting about the "gold revaluation accounts" maintained by some central banks: Voormeulen says of the Netherlands' 14,000 gold bars, estimated to be worth 15 billion euros: "The gold is...

Despite recent algorithm changes aimed at improving search quality, Google News continues to face challenges with AI-generated spam content appearing in its top results, frequently outranking original reporting. (snip) The issue came to light when a journalist, while searching for information on Adobe’s AI policies, stumbled upon a plagiarized article at the top of Google News results. The article, published on a website called Syrus #Blog, was a near-exact copy of a piece originally published by Wired, with only minor alterations in phrasing. Further investigation revealed that this was not an isolated incident, as similar plagiarized content was found in...

Four months before the election, the Democrat Party has already divided into mutually suspicious warring factions. While the debate was without a doubt a disaster for Joe Biden revealing him as confused, ill, and lacking a rationale for his own campaign other than personal hostility to Donald Trump, what has turned the debate from a disaster to a cataclysm has been what followed the reaction. A prime example was a Politico story about Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer “disavowing” a campaign to draft her to replace Biden. The story included claims that she had told the White House that Michigan was...

WASHINGTON, July 4 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's campaign and some of his allies have launched a pre-emptive political strike on Vice President Kamala Harris, moving swiftly to try to discredit her amid talk among some of her fellow Democrats that she might replace President Joe Biden atop the party's 2024 presidential ticket. On social media and in a flurry of statements over the past 48 hours, Trump's campaign and his Republican allies appear to be laying the groundwork for an all-out assault on Harris should the 81-year-old Biden decide to end his re-election bid following his feeble debate performance last...

Brawl on the carnival paradise

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky might do well by studying the career of Carl Mannerheim and how he saved Finland from the Russian meatgrinder. In early World War II, on November 30, 1939, a Soviet-Russian army invaded Finland in a surprise massive attack. The Finns were eventually outnumbered nearly 3 to 1. The population of the Soviet Union in 1940 was 50 times larger than that of Finland’s. Finland’s former anti-Soviet ally, Nazi Germany, had sold it out under the August 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which made Germany and Russia de facto allies. Finland’s other allies, particularly France and Britain, were slow...

Recent reports suggest that Russia is considering providing the Houthi rebels in Yemen with advanced anti-ship ballistic cruise missiles, potentially exacerbating the strategic dilemma facing Western powers as they seek to protect commercial shipping in the Red Sea and beyond.

With President Joe Biden under pressure to drop his bid for a second term, his party has been thrust into uncharted territory, struggling with a long list of risks and rewards as it faces the prospect of replacing Biden less than two months before the party convention. No presumptive nominee has withdrawn this late in the process. But no party has faced the challenge the Democrats face today: a nominee dogged by doubts about his mental acuity; his ability to beat his rival, former President Donald Trump; and his fitness to serve another four years as president. All of this...

This is not a topic, I like to discuss, but perhaps by raising it here, it will, with hope, re-energize the people responsible for Trump's safety to be vigil. In the past, Trump rallies were in obscure locales, airports and other easy to secure places, but more and more Trump exposes himself to rallies that are growing bigger and bigger in large venues. The left has always maintained that the end justifies the means, assassinating Trump would be a simple solution. They have no conscience on the killing of innocent life in the late third trimester, why would killing Trump...

Dutch King Willem Alexander has sworn in the first right-wing Dutch Government, led by Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party. Parting globalist Prime Minister Mark Rutte, failing upwards to become NATO Secretary-General, turned the Keys of the Torentje (“Little Tower”) in The Hague over to Prime Minister Dick Schoof. ... “We are making history today!” Wilders wrote. Geert Wilders has been under police protection for 20 years since a crazed Islamist slaughtered Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, great-grandson of the brother of painter Vincent van Gogh, on his bicycle in Amsterdam in 2004. He pinned a note to van Gogh’s body with...

WASHINGTON — In recent conversations with aides, family members and allies outside the White House, President Joe Biden has vacillated between acceptance and defiance in the face of the seismic shift in his political standing within his own party, according to four people familiar with the matter. In some discussions, Biden has acknowledged that the blowback from his debate performance last week may grow too large to overcome, while in others he has been completely dismissive of any notion that he might walk away from his re-election campaign, these people said. Some members of the president’s family — particularly first...

Since Joe Biden’s dismal performance at Thursday’s debate, the Democrat party has been in an uproar about whether he’ll stay the course or withdraw from the campaign to allow someone more sentient to step in. As of now, Joe’s allegedly insisting that he’ll stay the course. This makes sense, as it’s the only thing the Democrats can do. There’s no one to replace him. First, though, Joe’s alleged defiant announcement that he’s in it to win it: President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris called into a campaign staff meeting on Wednesday to give them a pep talk. Biden...

The polling memo from Open Labs, leaked to Puck News, showed how President Biden’s support was sliding following his panic-inducing debate performance Thursday. The poll also showed Biden’s vote share falling in every important swing state, with Trump holding a roughly 7-point lead in both Michigan and Pennsylvania. And it noted that Democrats other than Biden were outperforming the president in a horse race against Trump. “However, the poll that really shook Democrats in their boots came from Open Labs, a highly respected Democratic polling operation that works with campaigns and Super PACs,” said Pfeiffer, also a co-host of the...

Ah, 1776 — a time when the ruling aristocracy taxed Americans without their say, destroyed printing presses of those publishers demanding liberty, and jailed outspoken critics for treason. How things have changed — not! If there were one indispensable truth to be learned from America’s glorious Independence, it is this: governments do not give freedom; they take freedom away. Any smooth-talking politician who pretends that government should be praised for the “gifts” it bestows upon the people is a smiling agent of the Crown fashioning new chains for citizens to wear. Laws, taxes, and regulations do not liberate human beings;...
