Trump Signs COVID-19 Relief Bill With $600 Stimulus Checks

President Trump on Sunday signed a $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and government funding bill that includes $600 stimulus checks for most Americans.

The nearly 5,600-page bill passed the House and Senate by overwhelming margins on Monday night, just hours after its text was released.

The bill authorizes direct checks of $600 for people earning up to $75,000 per year. The amount decreases for higher earners and people who make over $95,000 get nothing.

There’s an additional $600 per child stimulus payment.

In a statement, Trump said that Congress on Monday would vote on a separate bill to “increase payments to individuals from $600 to $2,000.”

2020 Gun Sales Shatter Records as Americans Lock N’ Load

Amid 2020’s ‘perfect storm’ of racial tensions, lockdowns, and a record spike in unemployment which coincided with a national crime wave, people have been stocking up on firearms like never before.

According to monthly FBI data, November was the busiest month on record for background checks with over 3.6 million applications — a figure which is up 40% from the prior November, putting the country at an all-time high of 35,758,249 checks so far this year — and 26% higher than 2019’s 28,400,000 checks.

Anthony Quinn Warner Confirmed by DNA Test as Nashville Christmas Bomber

Human remains found at the site of the Christmas RV bombing in Nashville belong to Anthony Quinn Warner, the tech expert behind blast, officials announced Sunday.

“Anthony Warner is the bomber,” said US Attorney Don Cochran during a press briefing.

“He was present when the bomb went off, and then he perished in the bombing.”

Warner, 63, is the only known fatality in the bombing, which also left three people injured and caused significant property damage, including to an AT&T building, knocking out cell service across the state and much of the south.

The document includes 270 pages of affidavits, evidence and testimony from numerous witnesses and sources.

The document includes military and alphabet testimony, and details everything from interference, to origins of voting machine fraud, to cybersecurity intrusions into U.S. elections systems and more.

Beverly Hills Celebrity Hangout Caught Planning ‘Secret’ NYE Party

A Beverly Hills celebrity hangout has been busted trying to defy strict COVID-19 restrictions with a secret speakeasy-style New Year’s Eve party, according to a report.

“Welcome back to the 20’s Prohibition,” read an invitation in script left in takeout bags for those ordering from upscale Italian restaurant La Scala, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“We are currently taking reservations for New Year’s Eve dinner. Inside,” the message said of the “Speak Easy” party.

“Please keep this discreet, but tell all your friends,” the message reportedly read.

Bill Barr Did Not See Fraud Because He Refused to Look

I was wrong in putting any faith in Bill Barr. I thought Bill Barr was an honorable man. He is not. He has done a good job of masquerading as a stand up, honest guy, but when it came to saving the Republic and upholding the Constitution, he ran away.

During Barr’s final press conference on Monday, he doubled down on his prior statement:

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”

Barr insists he has not seen sufficient fraud? Is he blind? Is he now illiterate? A blind cave fish can see the evidence.

So let me help you out Mr. Barr. THERE IS AMPLE EVIDENCE OF FRAUD AND YOU ONLY NEED TO LOOK IN THREE STATES-GEORGIA, PENNSYLVANIA AND ARIZONA.

California Judge Rejects Tattoo Artists’ Bid to Beat COVID-19 Closures on ‘Free Speech’ Grounds

Tattoos may indeed be “free speech,” but the public’s safety is more important, a judge has ruled in a strange COVID-19 closures case.

A California judge this week rejected a lawsuit by a group of Southern California tattoo shops, which had hoped to stay open despite pandemic restrictions by arguing their work is protected under the First Amendment, according to the Los Angeles Times.

U.S. District Judge Dale Fischer nixed their claim, ruling instead that public safety trumps the shops’ First Amendment argument — leaving the shop owners wondering how to stay afloat as COVID-19 cases in the state spike.

CDC Issues New Guidelines, Launches Probe After 1000s Negatively-Affected Following COVID-19 Vaccination

As of Dec. 18, 3,150 people reported what the agency terms “Health Impact Events” after getting vaccinated.

The definition of the term is: “unable to perform normal daily activities, unable to work, required care from doctor or health care professional.”

As The Epoch Times’ Zachary Stieber reports, the people reporting the negative effects reported them through V-safe, a smartphone application. The tool uses text messages and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins and allows users to quickly tell the CDC if they are experiencing side effects.

The CDC and Pfizer, which produces the vaccine with BioNTech, didn’t respond to request for comments.

The information was presented by Dr. Thomas Clark, a CDC epidemiologist, to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, an independent panel that provides recommendations to the agency, on Saturday.

Developing: Dominion’s Anti-Trump Executive Eric Coomer Owns Patents on Adjudication Process That Investigators Found Skimmed Votes From Trump in Michigan

In 2010 Eric Coomer joined Dominion as Vice President of U.S. Engineering. According to his bio, Coomer graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics.

Eric Coomer was later promoted to Voting Systems Officer of Strategy and Security at Dominion. Coomer has since been removed from the Dominion page of directors.

In fact, in our interview with Denver native Joe Oltmann, Eric Coomer’s presence is being SCRUBBED FROM THE INTERNET!

Joe Oltmann said he never saw such hate and vitriol coming from someone who has a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics. Oltmann explained to Michelle Malkin in an earlier interview that Coomer actually re-posted the ‘Antifa manifesto to President Trump’ on his Facebook page.

Oltmann told The Gateway Pundit he believes Eric Coomer is mentally ill and a sociopath. Coomer plays the corporate executive during the day and an unhinged Trump hater and Antifa supporter in his private life.

FBI Probing if 5G Paranoia Was Behind Nashville Christmas Bombing

FBI agents working the Nashville Christmas bombing are asking around about whether Anthony Quinn Warner — a local computer expert named as a “person of interest” — was paranoid about 5G technology, according to a report.

Agents are probing if Warner, 63, feared that 5G technology was being used to spy on Americans, a source close to the investigation told the NBC News affiliate in Nashville.

Harvard Epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding Waged Disinformation Campaign Against American Scientists Working on COVID-19 Vaccine

Self-proclaimed Harvard epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding waged an anti-science disinformation campaign—disguised as medical advice—against American scientists working on the COVID-19 vaccine to advance his own career.

“Pfizer is gosh darn INSANE,” Feigl-Ding tweeted on Sept. 30. “There is no way they will have enough data to conclude by October.”

Fostering national doubt, the adjunct senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) quoted an article by The New York Times: “Even if the vaccine shows promising signs in clinical trials—still a big if— the company will not have collected enough data by then to say with any statistical confidence that it is safe and effective.”

Then on Nov. 18, Feigl-Ding contradicted his previous uncertainty, breaking the late-stage vaccine trial news reported by the same skeptical left-wing news outlet.

McConnell, Thune Urge Tuberville to ‘Knife Trump in the Back’ on January 6 Electoral College Vote

The Senate Majority Leader and Republican Whip are urging the Senator-Elect to betray their party’s nominee — a sitting President — and hand the election to a Democrat

Both the Republican Senate Majority Leader and the Republican Whip are urging Senator-Elect Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), to ignore his constitutional duty to challenge elector slates in states where credible accusations of widespread voter fraud and ballot tampering abound.

Sources close to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), say he will “reach out” to Tuberville in an attempt strong arm the Senator-Elect into abandoning his party’s president and to coax him into remaining silent in any challenge to the Electoral College vote.

McConnell and the establishment Republican apparatus in the Senate have telegraphed that they would rather betray their party’s sitting President by not challenging tainted Electoral College votes from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona, than to engage in a “messy floor fight” over finalizing the results of the Electoral College vote.

Michigan Attorney General Wants to Disbar Sidney Powell, Pro-Trump Attorneys

Michigan is moving to disbar Sidney Powell and other pro-Trump attorneys for the work exposing credible accusations of voter fraud.

Michigan’s Democrat Attorney General, Dana Nessel, says she is pursuing sanctions and even disbarment against Sidney Powell and other pro-Trump attorneys who she says “wasted the court’s time” with “baseless” allegations of fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election.

Nessel, who before being elected Attorney General worked as an LGBT rights attorney, says that sanctions against Powell and others who brought allegations of massive election tampering and fraud to Michigan’s courtrooms do not go far enough and claims that pro-Trump attorneys have violated their constitutional oaths and should be permanently banned from practicing law in the state.

Nashville Mayor Believes Explosion Targeted AT&T’s ‘Infrastructure’

Nashville’s mayor said Sunday that the city’sChristmas blast appeared to be an “infrastructure attack” on the AT&T building there — amid reports the suspect was paranoid about 5G networks spying on Americans.

The possible suicide bombing occurred near the local AT&T building, wreaking havoc on service in several Southern states, while also wiping out a number of locally owned businesses in the historic downtown area with the explosives-laden RV.

“The truck was parked adjacent to this large, historic AT&T facility, which happens to be in downtown Nashville, somewhat surprisingly,” Nashville Mayor John Cooper told CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

Nashville RV Played Petula Clark’s ‘Downtown’ Just Before Explosion

The RV that exploded into a massive fireball Christmas morning in downtown Nashville was playing Petula Clark’s classic pop song “Downtown” shortly before the blast shook the city, a responding cop said Sunday.

“The music started, and I notified over the [police radio] air to notify other officers,” said Luellen, speaking alongside four of his fellow cops in a Sunday press briefing. “Then, after the song, it continued to go back to the announcement for a little while.”

NFL Drops the Ball as TV Ratings Take Hit Over ‘Woke-ism’

With the Super Bowl just around the corner, Monday morning quarterbacking around the NFL’s nightmare 2020 TV ratings is about to kick into high gear.

The coronavirus will surely be blamed as most games were played in supposedly sterile and fan-less stadiums. Cord-cutting will also be cited as it has younger fans watching only highlights on their smartphones instead of tuning into whole games.

But there’s one excuse you won’t likely hear all that much about, despite the fact that experts who have crunched the numbers find it’s turning fans away: People hate being told they need to be re-educated on race relations when they simply want to relax and watch a game.

NY Times “Celebrates” as Student Gets Classmate Kicked Out of Her Dream College by Sharing Video of Her Using a Slur When She Was 15

Anybody who loves hip-hop will have heard it uttered freely thousands of times: the infamous “n-word,” that racial slur which remains an easy, go-to hot-button issue in the United States.

The way something like that even makes it into these songs, and stays there, is because it is uttered by black artists; however, as rules of “cultural appropriation” go, members of other races may not repeat them, not even jokingly or as part of a popular vernacular they had picked up. Say, if they are teenagers, like teenagers do.

In the US, unlike in Europe, speech is not criminalized, so the use of the “n-word” will not land those using it outside their own “cultural context” in prison. But it might get their college admission revoked, as this New York Times piece seems to celebrate.

Oregon Salon Owner Files $100,000 Lawsuit Against Governor for Coronavirus Shutdown Mandate

Lindsey Graham, owner of Glamour Salon in Salem, Oregon, has filed a $100,000 lawsuit against Governor Kate Brown, over fines she received for being open during state coronavirus mandated closures and is claiming that forcing small businesses to shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic is doing more harm than good.

According to the suit, filed on December 18, Graham claims that shutting down private businesses “…caused greater negative health effects on Oregonians in the form of increased stress, anxiety and depression.”

Graham also claims she lost revenue from her clients, business opportunities and suffered “…damage to her reputation and goodwill.” Graham also claims that Governor Brown does not have the authority to close private businesses that can demonstrate that they can operate safely without jeopardizing the public’s health.

Update: Man Associated With Nashville Bombing Died in Explosion

Federal investigators say they have identified the person responsible for the Christmas Day explosion in downtown Nashville.

Through DNA and other evidence, investigators say Anthony Quinn Warner is responsible for the explosion. They also say that Warner may have acted alone.

Investigators say Warner died in the explosion.

A motive for the act and why Warner chose to detonate the RV by the AT&T building in downtown Nashville has not yet been determined.

“Nashville is considered safe,” Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake said. “There are no known threats against this city.”

Douglas Korneski, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Memphis field office, says officials are looking at all motives and are interviewing Warner’s acquaintances to find out what motivated him to perform the act.

Investigators say public records show that Warner had experience with electronics and alarms. The records also revealed that Warner had also worked as a computer consultant for a local Nashville realtor.

Nashville police say that Warner was unknown to police before the explosion.

Police officially named Warner on Sunday. They say they identified Warner as the person responsible based on evidence, including DNA found at the scene that had previously been revealed as human remains.

Additionally, the Tennessee Highway Patrol says they had recovered parts from the RV and linked those parts to a vehicle registration number. That number revealed that the RV was registered to Anthony Quinn Warner.

Korneski says that the FBI are still following leads. He also says that there is no indication that another person was involved in the bombing…

Video: ‘The Plot to Steal America… It’s Time to STAND With Our Founding Fathers’

TRANSCRIPT: 2020 has been a year like no other, everything changed. The greatest threat we’re facing right now is not an invisible enemy invading our bodies, but one that is invading our country & our minds.

What did you think on election night when historically red states were stalled while blue states were immediately called for Biden? Or the late night ballot dumps that were somehow all for Biden? Or the batches of pristine ballots? Burst water pipes? Computer glitches?

Dominion the voting system with ties to socialist Venezuela that was programmed to manipulate votes for Biden while sending our data to China, Iran, and Russia. And when the system crashed because of the trump landslide key battleground states simply decided to stop counting.

Didn’t they just drag us through a baseless four-year witch hunt into Russian election interference over far less evidence? Even President Trump’s tweets are censored & his press conferences are cut off. The POTUS is being censored by US companies. Think about what that means.

Why did Hillary Clinton tell Biden not to concede under any circumstances all the way back in the summer? Why did they spend the last four years using every possible tactic to undermine Trump’s presidency? Why did every single mainstream media rush to coronate Biden?

We face the greatest threat since the American revolution. Guess who owns a massive chunk of Hollywood. Guess who pays millions of dollars to the Wall Street Journal & the New York Times to publish their propaganda. Guess who’s given the Biden family billions of dollars.

Right now we’re in a battle for our republic & the enemy is already inside the gates even those we thought we could trust have turned on us. They’re not fighting with guns and bombs no but with words ideas & narratives because what they’re fighting for are our minds.

We fought to escape tyranny. We bled to end slavery. We revere the brave men who died for our freedom. We unite in times of hardship we know good from evil & truth from lies. We the people call upon our president to defend us from enemies foreign & domestic & uphold his oath.

Our enemies snuck in during the night & tried to use the media to lull us to sleep while they stole our country but instead they awoke the sleeping giant. They tried a great reset but instead they triggered a great awakening. It’s time to stand with our Founding Fathers.

Wheels Come Off for Bus Companies, Closing Down Travel Options for Poor Americans

The wheels on the nation’s buses aren’t going round and round very much these days according to MPRnews, which notes that demand for bus travel has fallen by more than 80 percent during the pandemic, as public health authorities urge people to avoid travel where possible. That is raising concerns about the potential long-term damage to an essential transport method for millions of lower-income Americans even as air travel has shown signs of picking up since the Thanksgiving holiday period.

And those who have to take the bus, for whatever reason, are finding fewer options, and often higher prices as a result.

Kentucky School Superintendent Suspended After Someone Posted 18-Year-Old Blackface Photo Online

In a photograph from the party, Shively is seen in blackface. And since he is not, for example, Canada’s liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — who also in the past wore blackface for fun — the superintendent is being forced to pay the price for his behavior: he has been suspended for 40 days without pay, during which he will have to attend training sessions meant to “re-educate” him on the subject of racial equity.

Developers of Oxford-Astrazeneca Vaccine Tied to UK Eugenics Movement

Investigation into the vaccine’s developers and the realities of their “no-profit pledge” reveals a very different story than that which has been spun for most of the year by corporate press releases, experts and academics tied to the vaccine and the mainstream press.

For instance, mainstream media has had little, if anything, to say about the role of the vaccine developers’ private company — Vaccitech — in the Oxford-AstraZeneca partnership, a company whose main investors include former top Deutsche Bank executives, Silicon Valley behemoth Google and the UK government. All of them stand to profit from the vaccine alongside the vaccine’s two developers, Adrian Hill and Sarah Gilbert, who retain an estimated 10% stake in the company. Another overlooked point is the plan to dramatically alter the current sales model for the vaccine following the initial wave of its administration, which would see profits soar, especially if the now obvious push to make COVID-19 vaccination an annual affair for the foreseeable future is made reality.

Yet, arguably most troubling of all is the direct link of the vaccine’s lead developers to the Wellcome Trust and, in the case of Adrian Hill, the Galton Institute, two groups with longstanding ties to the UK Eugenics movement. The latter organization, named for the “father of eugenics” Francis Galton, is the re-named UK Eugenics Society, a group notorious for its promotion of racist pseudoscience and efforts to “improve racial stock” by reducing the population of those deemed inferior for over a century.

The ties of Adrian Hill to the Galton Institute should raise obvious concerns given the push to make the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine he developed with Gilbert the vaccine of choice for the developing world, particularly countries in Latin America, South and Southeast Asia and Africa, the very areas where the Galton Institute’s past members have called for reducing population growth…

The issues raised by their decision to partner with manufacturers with dark histories of product safety issues are compounded by the adverse reactions reported in the Oxford-AstraZeneca trials as well as the ways in which those trials have been conducted. In September, AstraZeneca was forced to pause its experimental COVID-19 vaccine trial after a woman in the UK developed a “suspected serious reaction” that the New York Times reported was consistent with transverse myelitis. TM is a neurological disorder characterized by inflammation of the spinal cord, a major element of the central nervous system. It often results in weakness of the limbs, problems emptying the bladder, and paralysis. Patients can become severely disabled, and there is currently no effective cure.

South Wales Police’s Enforcement of Welsh Government Rules

EIGHT people were given warning or fines on the first day of new police powers according to South Wales Police.

On Tuesday, December 22, the force stopped 76 vehicles to check with compliance for the Alert Level 4 travel restrictions. The majority of these were able to prove compliance — meaning their journey was necessary. One person was issued with a fixed penalty notice while seven others were given warnings.

In the week running to December 20, 108 fixed penalty notices were handed out across the South Wales Police force area — with the majority in relation to illegal house parties and gatherings.

The Joys of Paris in Coronavirus Days

One remembers lazy afternoons spent discussing the fate of mankind and providing answers to non-existent existential questions, and warm evenings visiting exhibitions of structuralist paintings with no structure, rounding up all that at sunrise with a generous bowl of onion soup in the fruit and vegetable market in Les Halles.

Having nowhere to go and nothing interesting to do, being in Paris these days feels like being in Moscow in the 1960s when the only excitement was provided by rumors about the arrival of new supplies of potatoes or a one-day availability of hot chocolate in Cafe Pushkin.

The roots of this unbelievable population control, something even Lenin could not dream of, may be found in the culture of dirgisme (overall control) that assumes the governments know best even when they admit they don’t.

UK Government Contracts Firms to Make COVID “Freedom Passports”

With the COVID-19 vaccine being made available across several parts of the world, many nations are now vested in figuring out systems to validate the status of vaccination. What we now have is the UK government contracting two firms for developing COVID “freedom passports” that would be used to validate the state of vaccination — something that officials once said was a conspiracy theory.

Amidst public criticism and backlash against the notion of developing such “freedom passports,” the UK government declared that there were no such plans in place. But the reality seems to be something else altogether, as the two firms have been instructed by the government to indeed create such a passport by means of an app-based system that can link to digital passports and integrate QR codes as well.

Last Byzantine Greeks Facing Extinction in Islamist-Led Turkey

The Greeks who represent the last vestiges of Christian Byzantium and the Roman Empire are heading towards their final extinction in Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Turkey, with their numbers dwindling to a mere handful under his Islamist government.

What is now Turkey only began to be colonised in by the Turkic peoples in earnest from around 1071, after their Seljuk ancestors had arrived from Central Asia and vanquished the Greek-speaking Christian ruler Romanos IV Diogenes’s forces at the Battle of Manzikert.

‘We Will Squash Them’: The Persecution of Christians, November 2020

The following are among the abuses inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of November 2020:

The Slaughter of Christians

Indonesia: On Nov. 27, Islamic terrorists beheaded a Christian priest and killed three other Christians by slitting their throats in Lembantongoa village. During the raid, a Salvation Army church and six Christian homes were also torched. While acknowledging that an Islamic militant group was responsible, authorities claimed that the attack was not “religiously motivated.” One human rights researcher said that this “latest strike was a ‘clear escalation’ of violence against Christians.”

Apple is Still Censoring Its App Store for China

Apple continues to protect its precious business bond with China in a number of ways, according to a new analysis.

One of these ways is the removal of apps from its App Store that Chinese authorities don’t like and the number of these has reached over 3,000 to date.

However, the giant, a rare US tech firm that is allowed access to the vast mainland China market and manufacturing resources, wants to qualify its cooperation with the Beijing authorities as limited only to compliance with the law of the land.

Almost Half of Swedish Coronavirus ICU Patients Are Migrants

Nearly half of those in intensive care units (ICU) due to complications from the Wuhan coronavirus across Sweden are from migrant backgrounds.

A total of 46 per cent of those in ICUs in Sweden are from migrant backgrounds according to a report. Given that Sweden’s foreign-born population is around one-fifth of the total number of residents of the country, the figures suggest that migrants are serious over-represented in coronavirus statistics.

World Economic Forum Proposes App That Gives “Legal ID” To Over 1 Billion People

There’s nothing the likes of the World Economic Forum (WEF) like less than people who are not properly “cataloged” inside the system — and one obvious and easy way to do that is to have them open a bank account.

That pulls in, thanks to the now pretty much a global exchange of banking information, a wealth of personal data, especially if these people want to get a loan — which appears as the “carrot” at the end of this “stick” write up that was published on the WEF website.

Anyone strapped for cash and not minding entering the indentured servitude to legacy fiat money financial institutions, must first make themselves fully visible to their future creditors and “owners.” Another use for having an internationally recognized ID is if you plan on becoming a refugee, or an asylum seeker in another country, and the report touches on that.

    Taqiyya tactics finally understood? Protection of the constitution warn against Islamists in sheep’s clothing

    A creeping Islamisation of Germany is always vehemently denied, after all, Islam, with its numerous mosques and muezzin reputation, belongs to Germany, which is why those in charge of politics consistently devote themselves to the greatest danger to the country – right-wing extremism, which threatens the internal security of the colorful republic could.

    Although any criticism of the peaceful religion is prevented or even punished, security authorities are busy registering and monitoring Islamists, the number of whom is growing significantly. Now the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Cologne is warning of “legalistic Islamists” who act inconspicuously, act in conformity with the law, in order to secretly want to establish a state of God according to the rules of Sharia.

    Domestic Intelligence Service warns against Islamists in sheep’s clothing

    They act inconspicuously, conform to the law and have a mission: “Legalist Islamists” secretly want to establish a state of God according to the rules of Sharia. In order to expose their tricks, constitutional protection officials have to look very carefully.

    Half of them are now German politicians.

    • i think you may have mistranslated the last part, ‘legalist scene’ is what it says which doesnt just mean politicians but more often lawyers

  3. “….. a group notorious for its promotion of racist pseudoscience and efforts to “improve racial stock” by reducing the population of those deemed inferior for over a century.”

    What about those deemed inferior for less than a century, for just 90 years, for example?

    Oh, whatever has happened to my mother tongue? Writing isn’t taught anymore?

    I could go on.

  4. Warners ‘target’ where his RV was parked next to was the massive AT&T reinforced NSA bunker style data center building that has no entrances or signs that would identify it to any pedestrian on the outside. The explosion blew sections of the exterior facade of the building revealing another wall behind it. This is labeled as the Bellsouth, AT&T building and next to it to the south is the Sungard financial systems who is also colocated in those two buildings also has Chinese Commmunist Connections to Solarwinds, Thoma Bravo. You could postulate these groups were involved in the massive Dominion Election Equipment voter fraud and the recent massive nationwide cyberattack. Warner’s ‘stunt’ may have meant to draw national attention to these facilities and the companies associated with their use.

    Another sinister element for your perusal is the trapezoidal (order of the trapezoid) AT&T building to the south that faces directly at the AT&T, Bellsouth data center. Note the architectural geomancy of the AT&T building is a form of MOLECH, a demonic Canaanite entity that demanded child-blood sacrifice. Usually shown in this form with two horns. An effigy at Bohemian Grove of an owl that is called Moloch where the sacrifice of care (child sacrifice) is performed. Another example would be the Salesforce Tower (Chase,J.P. Morgan) in Indianapolis, IN at the south end of the very sinister, occultic laden American Legion Park. Perhaps his real motive will remain unknown as the motives for building such huge, evil geomantic towers over everyone of our cities. Or the motive, the real purpose behind the huge bunkers that house and operate the huge NSA information gathering apparatus that spies and collects data on everyone, and also facilitates the rigging of elections everywhere.

  5. The migrants attacked the inhabitants of a Greek village, first stealing their weapons.

    …. However, local authorities and residents believe that illegal immigrants received some training, since their actions had all the characteristics of a special military operation (detection of weapons behind enemy lines, kidnapping and flight), after all, many of them are Islamists. past wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan ”.

    Video confiscated from the attackers, filmed by them prior to their visit to the village.

    It is noteworthy that the migrants timed their action to the celebration of Christmas.
