American Cities Ordered to Give Over $68 Million to Antifa, BLM Agitators After 2020 Riots Caused $2 Billion in Damage

Major cities across the country saw over $2 billion in damages in the wake of 2020’s Antifa and BLM George Floyd riots. Property was damaged, officers attacked, and at least 30 people lost their lives. In the years since, these same cities have paid out millions of dollars to the same people that participated in this unrest.

In September of 2020, it was revealed that over $2 billion in property damage claims arising from the riots were made over that summer, marking the costliest riots in US history. The Foundation for Economic Education suggested that this total was likely higher, as the $2 billion figure looked only at insured businesses, and 75 percent of businesses are under insured. Around 40 percent of small businesses have no insurance.

Biden Admin Abruptly Axes Alaska Oil and Gas Leases Backed by State Lawmakers, Native Americans

The Biden administration canceled several oil and gas leases issued in early 2021 to an Alaskan state economic development agency, it announced Wednesday.

The Department of the Interior (DOI) rescinded the seven 10-year leases — spanning 365,775 acres in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) — held by the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) and supported by a wide range of stakeholders, including lawmakers and Native Alaskans. The leases were issued by the Trump administration in one of its final actions.

“This latest action by the Department of the Interior against Alaska and Native Alaskans living inside ANWR shows arbitrary disregard for federal law, based on campaign trail rhetoric. Campaign promises are not enough to justify this agency action,” AIDEA Executive Director Randy Ruaro told Fox News Digital. “Under the law, Interior must present real facts and reasons that support this reversal in position.”

The claim from Musk, who himself is no stranger to online controversy, shines a light on a disturbing caveat in the world where platforms are ubiquitous for proliferating ideas and unmasks the potent influence of certain organizations like the ADL to push narrative control.

How the Biden Administration Used Inaccurate Data as a Way to Censor Americans Online

More revelations are coming to light as part of the “Facebook Files” detailing the mechanism of censorship pushed by the Biden administration around Covid vaccine hesitancy.

Knowing that the statistics supposedly proving that one group of people — the so-called “Disinformation Dozen” — was responsible for the majority of alleged anti-vaccine content, were hugely overblown was enough to dissuade either the White House or Facebook from carrying out censorship.

The latter did so under pressure from the former, internal documents now show. And behind it all was the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a foreign, UK-based self-styled misinformation crusader.

Lori Lightfoot Starts Her Harvard Tenure… Lecturing Students on How to ‘Run a City and Deal With the Media During a Crisis’

Lori Lightfoot is gearing up to start her new role as a Harvard lecturer — teaching a course on leadership despite her hugely controversial time as Chicago mayor.

The 61-year-old presided over four years dominated by soaring crime, war with teachers’ unions and police, and battles with the City Council.

Under her watch, crime overall rose by 42 percent and the city’s police complained about staff shortages and low morale: In May 2021, the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police issued a symbolic vote of no confidence against Lightfoot.

She was a lawyer before entering politics, and had an acrimonious relationship with the Chicago Teachers Union which saw an 11-day strike, and two actions during the height of the COVID pandemic.

Lightfoot clashed with the governor of Illinois, fellow Democrat J.B. Pritzker, and her relations with the media became so acrimonious she stopped holding press conferences all together: she stepped down on May 15 as the first mayor not to secure a second term in 40 years.

In June the Harvard Chan School of Public Health said Lightfoot was joining for a semester, and on Monday she told WBEZ she had started the job.

Loudoun County Officials Take ‘Lavish’ Ghana Trip on Taxpayers’ Dime, Sparking Outrage

A Board of Supervisors meeting in Loudoun County, Virginia, was upended Tuesday after several residents from the area showed up to voice their concerns about their taxpayer dollars being used by local leaders to fund a lavish trip to Ghana.

The uproar came after Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Chair Phyllis Randall, Vice Chair Koran Saines, and Supervisor Sylvia Glass used more than $60,000 in funds in June to fly to Ghana and sign a sister city agreement with the mayor of Tema, according to Fox 5.

The taxpayer dollars, according to the outlet, were used for “first-class flights, five-star hotel, and nice meals, among other luxurious expenses.”

According to NBC 4, on Tuesday a 44-page agreement was filed in Manhattan federal court that creates a tiered system of response to protests and requires the department to deploy fewer officers to most public protests.

Soros-Backed Group Partners on ‘Abolition School’ to Train Activists to Eradicate Police, Prisons

A dark money group that has received millions of dollars from George and Alex Soros’s nonprofit network is partnering on a new “Abolition School” that trains activists to eliminate police and prisons.

The Community Resource Hub for Safety and Accountability joined forces with left-wing groups to aid the Philadelphia-based W.E.B Du Bois Movement School for Abolition & Reconstruction to prepare organizers against what they say is a capitalist society created from “overlapping forces of colonial dispossession and genocide, racialized chattel slavery, and violent patriarchal domination, whose extractive brutality toward humanity and nature alike is quickly rendering our planet uninhabitable.”

The school aims to familiarize activists with how to dismantle “oppressive” institutions they believe extensively contribute to their struggles.

Supreme Court Asked to Decide if Police Dog Committed an Illegal Search by Putting Paws on Car

Petitioners are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a case in which they claim a police K-9 officer violated the Constitution by jumping up and placing its paws on a vehicle during a traffic stop.

The case relates to Nero, a Belgian Malinois working as a police dog in Idaho. Nero uncovered meth residue and other drug paraphernalia during a search, but he also briefly jumped and placed his front paws onto the door of a car, which petitioners argue violated the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against “unreasonable searches.”

The driver of the car, Kirby Dorff, was ultimately convicted on charges of felony drug possession. The Idaho Supreme Court tossed out Dorff’s conviction in March, however, arguing that Nero’s pounce onto the door constituted a “warrantless search.”

Trump: Fauci Was Not ‘Big Player’ in My Administration, ‘Not Allowed’ to Fire Him

Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Dr. Anthony Fauci was not a “big player” in his administration and reiterated his position that he wasn’t “allowed” to fire the medical adviser.

“First of all, you’re not allowed,” Trump told Hugh Hewitt’s radio show when asked by the conservative host why he didn’t fire Fauci, the controversial head of Trump’s COVID-19 response team, which Hewitt called the “biggest knock” on Trump’s presidency.

“No, no, no, Dr. Fauci was there. First of all, he’s civil service, and you’re not allowed to fire him. But forget that because I don’t necessarily go by everything … but Dr. Fauci would tell me things, and I wouldn’t do them in many cases. But also, he wasn’t a big player in my administration. Dr. Fauci became a big player in the administration of Biden. He’s a very big player in Biden’s administration.”

Alarmists Predict ‘1 Billion’ Deaths From Climate Change This Century

Researchers from Canada and Australia have published a study predicting a remarkable one billion deaths from climate change over the next 100 years.

Citing a “scientific consensus,” the authors analyzed 180 studies on climate change and mortality, converging on a “1000-ton rule,” which means for every 1,000 tons of fossil fuel burned, a person dies.

The article, published in the journal Energies, contends that “a future person is killed every time humanity burns 1000 tons of fossil carbon,” based on a calculation that “burning a trillion tons of fossil carbon will cause 2°C of anthropogenic global warming (AGW), which in turn will cause roughly a billion future premature deaths spread over a period of very roughly one century.”

Victims of Mass Shooting Outside Ottawa Wedding Not Intended Target, Police Say

The two men killed and six others injured in the long weekend shooting outside a wedding reception in Ottawa’s south end were not the intended targets, Ottawa police say.

Investigators say the “targeted shooting” was focusing on “individuals believed to be attending” one of two weddings at the Infinity Convention Centre Saturday night, but some of the approximately 50 rounds fired struck innocent bystanders outside the facility.

Now, police are appealing with anyone with information about the deadly shooting or who may have been attending the events at the convention centre to come forward to speak with investigators.

Bardella, who will be 28 at the end of September, told the French newspaper Le Figaro that it was natural he would lead the party’s European Parliament election campaign saying, “The deadline of June 2024 is not only a European election, [but] the only opportunity for the French to sanction the government and prepare the post-Emmanuel Macron,” France24 reports.

Germany: Cologne Cathedral Has Cancelled Its Famous Spires

In a bid to be more ‘diverse,’ the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cologne has rebranded its logo: compared to the old design, the new one does not feature the famous spires of the Cologne Cathedral. In other words—as the German publication, Junge Freiheit put it—the archdiocese has cancelled its own cathedral.

Grain Wars: Solidarity Between Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania Over Grain Embargo May be Breaking Down

Poland’s agriculture minister, Robert Telus, has admitted that there are differences of view between the five countries neighboring Ukraine over the embargo on Ukrainian grain.

The five countries — Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary — were all in attendance at the informal summit of agriculture ministers in Cordoba, Spain. They have managed to agree that any EU list of products to be put under an embargo should be “flexible” so that imports can be added or deleted according to changing market conditions.

Hungary Demands Ukraine Remove OTP Bank From Sponsor List Before Discussing Weapon Deliveries

Hungary has taken a firm stance, refusing to engage in talks about supplying weapons to Ukraine until Ukraine removes OTP Bank from its list of international war sponsors. Péter Szijjartó, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, criticized this move, highlighting the contradiction of Hungary contributing Hungarian taxpayer funds for weapon deliveries to Ukraine while Ukraine brands OTP Bank as a war sponsor, which serves 3 million Hungarians. This announcement followed an informal meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Spain, according to About Hungary.

Left in Shock: After German Politician is Smeared as an Anti-Semite, His Free Voters’ Party Soars to 2nd Place in Bavarian Polls

German media has been dominated with nearly non-stop coverage of allegations that Bavarian Vice-Minister Hubert Aiwanger wrote an anti-Semitic pamphlet and made edgy, racist jokes when he was 17 years old — nearly 35 years ago. However, he has not only weathered the storm and stayed in power, but the first poll taken since the scandal broke shows his party has jumped to second place in the German state of Bavaria right before elections on Oct. 8.

According to the Insa survey, if elections were held now, the right-wing, populist Free Voters would secure 15 percent of the vote, an increase of 4 points over the July survey and the highest polling result the party ever recorded.

Multiple Climate Protests Upstage German Chancellor, Crashing World’s Largest Motor Industry Fair

A major car show biennial was opened by the German Chancellor on Tuesday, but his boosterism for national industry was upstaged first by the soaring presence of Asian-made electric cars, and then by the actions of eco-extremists accusing the industry of “greenwashing” their economic impact.

Three separate environmental campaign groups targeted a major trade fair in Germany, upstaging the arrival of the pirate-eyepatch-wearing German leader, who called the presence of the protesters “irritating”.

New Generation of Activists Fight Greenpeace’s Anti-Nuclear Stand

The environmental advocacy group, Greenpeace, is facing harsh criticism over its failure to embrace nuclear energy as a fossil fuel alternative.

A new generation of younger, green activists began a campaign to challenge the NGO’s legal decision to fight the European Commission’s decision to subsidise nuclear energy as a form of green fuel in April.

The world’s most formidable green campaigning group, Greenpeace, has taken a decades-long stance against nuclear energy on the grounds that it constitutes a risk to public safety. It has 15 EU-focused lobbyists active in Brussels which secured 135 high-level meetings with Commission officials last year alone.

Now, with the onset of an energy crisis and supposed climate breakdown, this dogma is being finally questioned. Teenage Swedish activist Ia Aanstoot, along with other European environmentalists, began a social media campaign to get Greenpeace to reverse its anti-nuclear position.

Poland Extraditing Ukrainian Men Who Left the Country to Avoid Military Conscription

Poland has initiated the extradition process of Ukrainian men who left the country through bribery. Poland and other EU countries may face an increased number of extradition requests for such men. Some of them have already been handed over to Polish authorities near the Dnieper River, according to Rzeczpospolita.

David Arahamia, the leader of the “Servant of the People” party, suggested that Ukrainian law enforcement agencies may demand the extradition of draft-age men who fled Ukraine, possibly to avoid conscription. President Zelensky has ordered a review of all medical certificates of incapacity issued after February 24, 2022, amid suspicions of forgery.

According to data from the Border Service, from February 24 of the previous year to August 31 of the current year, nearly 2.87 million Ukrainians between the ages of 18 and 60 entered Poland, while almost 2.8 million left. Among them, approximately 80,000 draft-age men arrived in Poland after February 24, 2022, and disappeared.

UK: Labour Party-Run Birmingham Council Declares Effective Bankruptcy

Local leftist officials have been blasted for mismanagement in Birmingham as the city council has declared that it is effectively bankrupt.

In the latest example of a Labour Party-run area running out of money, Birmingham City Council issued a spending freeze Section 114 notice, meaning that the local government of England’s second-largest city will only be able to dole out funds to maintain core services.

The decision was made after the council failed to settle a bill that it owed to settle equal pay claims following a lawsuit from 174 female council workers, who successfully sued the local government for failing to provide bonuses to traditionally female jobs such as cooks and cleaners while offering bonuses to jobs typically staffed by men such as gravediggers, trash collectors, and street cleaners.

US Ambassador Continues Anti-Government Campaign in Hungary After Government Minister Praises WWII-Era Leader

U.S. Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman reacted in a post on the social network X to the wreath-laying ceremony by pro-government politicians at the grave of interbellum leader Miklós Horthy, who was reburied just 30 years ago. He criticized the statement by Janos Lazar, the minister of construction and transport, that Horthy was an exceptional statesman, a true Hungarian patriot and a heroic soldier.

In the village of Kenderes, Horthy’s birthplace, Janos Lazar said that in 1919, Horthy saved the country from the fate that the Western powers had destined for Hungary.

The minister said that Horthy, who led the country after World War I all the way up until 1944, was an exceptional head of state, a true Hungarian patriot and a heroic soldier. Pressman, the U.S. ambassador in Budapest, reacted to the remarks.

Who Will Lead Poland? New Poll Shows Ruling Conservatives on Top, But No Chance of Ruling Without Right-Wing Confederation Party

If the elections in Poland were held last Sunday, the best result would be achieved by the Law and Justice (PiS) party, with 35.3 percent of the vote. The Civic Coalition (KO) would receive 27.5 percent, Confederation 10.6 percent, Third Way (PSL and Szymon Holownia’s Poland 2050) 10.2 percent, and the Left 9.4 percent. These are the results of the first post-summer poll by United Surveys for the Wirtualna Polska portal.

The ruling party’s ratings have increased by 0.8 percentage points since mid-August. KO has lost 3.7 points compared to the previous poll, marking the biggest decline among all parties. Confederation’s ratings increased by 2.8 points, Third Way recorded growth of 1.2 points, and the Left saw an increase of 2.3 points.

Seven percent of respondents are unsure who they want to vote for.

Nalyvaichenko stated, “We arrived at the regrettable conclusion that individuals must be eliminated.”

As reported by The Economist, this pertains to the SBU’s fifth counterintelligence division, which operated as a covert unit in response to Russian hostilities. This division is credited with the elimination of key pro-Russian figures in the Donbass region, including Givi, Motorola, and Alexander Zakharchenko.

Ukraine Pays Hefty Rewards to Russians Who Surrender Equipment

The defection of a Russian pilot with a Mi-8 military transport helicopter has revealed how much the Ukrainians pay for the functional Russian weapons that are handed over. Russian soldiers are promised $1 million for a plane, $500,000 for a helicopter, and $100,000 for a tank.

For Ukraine, such operations are quite profitable, even in a purely commercial sense. The cost of the same Mi-8 helicopter starts at $6 million. And as part of Operation Sinai, Ukraine not only received a new Russian helicopter with an armored cockpit, but also valuable data about the Russian Federation’s air force.

Vandals Busted Open Great Wall to Make ‘Shortcut, ‘ Creating ‘Irreversible Damage’

Engineers in China “irreparably” damaged the Great Wall of China while trying to find a “shortcut” for their business, according to local reports.

Hundreds of migrants are being hidden behind a black curtain at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, with families left sleeping on the floor for up to 10 days at a time.

This influx of asylum seekers is a result of Texas transporting hundreds of thousands of migrants to Democratic-led cities as a protest against federal border policies — causing many like Chicago to reach their housing limits.

Currently, 433 migrants are seeking shelter at the airport, where black curtains are being used to conceal the worsening humanitarian situation.

Open Borders NGO Sea Watch Wants to Take Over ‘Patrol’ of Mediterranean From EU’s Frontex Border Agency

Although Frontex is tasked with protecting the EU’s borders, German NGO Sea Watch, which has taken part in controversial operations to ferry migrants to Europe, says it could do a better job than Frontex, arguing that it could help migrants reach Europe instead of trying to stop them.

Sea Watch and other migrant boat NGOs are a major concern for Italy, which has instituted new laws that hit these ships with sanctions for their activities encouraging illegal immigration. The NGO is now demanding the EU take action to force Italy into dropping the sanctions. However, in addition to its efforts to exert its influence on domestic Italian politics, Sea Watch is going a step further, arguing it should take on the role of patrolling the Mediterranean instead of Frontex, albeit with a different agenda regarding the record number of immigrants headed toward Europe.

    Recently, I talked to relatives living in Germany. They spoke of break-ins and crime in their neighborhood. They expect crime in other parts of the city, but now it’s moving into their area.

    It begins with break-ins and theft. Cars are no longer parked on the road because someone has began keying the paintwork as they walk past.

    They report of aggressive new neighbors, who cause noise and problems. And they report of people leaving the area because the police will not act.

    Even I was surprised by the latest escalation. An old lady, 80 years old walking her dog in the local woods was attacked by a Syrian migrant. She called the police. She filled out the police report and promptly received a police complaint.

    The German government pays the illegal Syrian’s lawyers to sue her. He claims she attacked him. She now refuses to leave the house without a BODY CAM.

    An 80 year old lady bought a Body Cam. And the police and politicians leave her to deal with this. Germany 2023.

    White men only have enemies.
    They have allies.
    However much they try to convince themselves otherwise.

    May no white man’s blood be spilled in this conflict.
    May the blood of those that betrayed themselves and everybody else run like rivers instead.

    • “9 out of every 10 white men”? I don’t think so; where’s your evidence?

    You can’t crush the resistance

    6/9-23

    By Lars Hedegaard / snaphanen.dk

    Criticism does not disappear. It goes underground.
    The EU will introduce draconian fines for platforms that publish incorrect information or opinions. These are claims that go against the “narrative” of the world’s rulers – that means “narretive” (stupid lie), whose purpose is to fool the simple-minded into believing their oppressors.

    The US Deep State and the camarilla in Brussels have grand plans to eliminate all criticism of their rule, but can they determine what people think in their silent minds? They can force us to pretend to believe them. They can even make us vote for them because we are stupid enough to believe their assurances. But this will prove to be a short-term strategy.

    If people are feeling bad, it is difficult to convince them that they are feeling good. If every time they step outside a door they can see with their own eyes that they are living in a foreign country, those in power will have a hard time explaining to them that everything is fine.

    The EU, the WEF, the OIC, the newspapers, TV and the heads of various digital platforms can make any criticism disappear with the snap of a finger. But it doesn’t. It just goes underground.

    And from the underground, we have to resort to the same methods as the Danish resistance movement did during the war: You organize yourself, you resist as best you can and above all: you create a pressure that neither Islam, PM Mette Frederiksen, Klaus Schwab nor the imams in Nørrebro can control.

    It is time to revive the duplicator that allowed the resistance movement to broadcast news from hand to hand.

    And when all duplicators are exposed by EU-Stasi, and the recipients of the banned writings are camped out, the resistance will not stop.

    It was not long ago they would be hung and quartered.

    Now they are celebrated if anything.

    “She must have been waycists or sumthin init bro”

    Non whites really are just hominids.
    There is nothing human about them, even with the best education, they are just mimics, and opportunist ones at that.

      • The Germans wiped out quite a few Russian folk? Lucky they survived at all? Probably decided by the mostly White Russian chaps.

        • You have continued to use multiple throwaway nics, a different one for each comment. This is the last time I’ll let them through. I’m putting you on notice that if you do not use a single, consistent nic for all your comments, I’ll delete them, regardless of what they say.

          • Germans are nationalist underneath the surface, it won’t take much to put them back in uniform and start marching again. The greens on the other hand are communist, and they will be dealt with sooner or later.

    “With this law, the Danish government becomes both an ally and a servant of the Iranian and Taliban regimes.”

    By Lars Hedegaard / snaphanen.dk

    As editor-in-chief of the satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo, Gérard Biard knows first-hand the cost of criticizing Islam. Despite this – or perhaps precisely because he has experienced the misfortune that Muhammad’s ideology represents for humanity – he strongly opposes the proposed blasphemy law, which is to become part of the 12 chapters of the criminal code dealing with crimes against state security.

    In a commentary in Altinget (September 4) – which I take the liberty of quoting in full because of its importance – Gérard Biard writes briefly that “with this law, the Danish government becomes both an ally and a servant of the Iranian regime and the Taliban”. “This decision”, he writes, “will have serious consequences, as it legitimizes the concept of blasphemy and opens the door to all forms of censorship.

    “It contrasts with 200 years of struggle by European intellectuals, artists and political leaders to separate public life from religions and their doctrines in order to liberate the individual’s freedom of thought and expression.

    Denmark’s Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard (S), describes the burning of the Koran as “fundamentally despicable and unsympathetic”.

    This view, based on subjective perceptions (despicable and unsympathetic), paves the way for the whole spectrum of censorship.

    Now what law will the Danish authorities adopt when other groups of individuals demand a ban on statements they find “despicable and unsympathetic”?

    In reality, this special law is intended to avoid the fundamental question behind the book burnings: why do people feel the need to publicly burn religious texts such as the Koran?

    The Danish government is cowardly
    The Danish government is showing great cowardice by pretending not to understand the significance of these acts.

    When people burn the Qur’an, it can be for bad reasons, but it can also be for good reasons: to protest against totalitarian regimes in countries like Iran and Afghanistan, where this religious book is used to terrorize entire populations and to crush any resistance. Iranian women who refuse to wear the veil are guilty of blasphemy. Afghan women are persecuted by the Taliban simply because they want to go to school.

    By adopting this law, the Danish government becomes complicit in these tyrannical, murderous regimes whose power is based solely on total submission to the Koran.

    With the adoption of this law, the Danish Government becomes both an ally and a servant of the Iranian and Taliban regimes.

    In a democracy, the people are the only legitimate power.

    In a democracy, all forms of power can be challenged, mocked and ridiculed through public debate.

    With this law, the Danish government agrees to share its legitimacy with God and his self-appointed representatives.

    This law calls into question the very cornerstone of our modern democracies.”

    So much for Gérard Biard.

    For other critics, he noted that if the blasphemy law is adopted – as it now seems – we will never get rid of it, because the strongmen of Islam will consider it a declaration of war against the prophet and therefore encourage all the world’s Muslims – including in Denmark – to wage holy war. And a government and parliament that were too afraid to put foreign barbarians on their doorstep when Rasmus Paludan burned a Koran and Firoozeh Bazrafkan used a grater will have a nervous breakdown and promise penance and recovery the next time the longbeards wave the crooked sabre.

    In the House of Islam, which Denmark has officially entered with the Koran, it is customary to hang homosexuals from cranes or throw them from tall buildings, and stubborn women who refuse to wear a Mohammedan uniform are beaten to death – after being raped.

    Islam therefore needs strong protection from criticism, because what if it came out what Muhammad’s plans were all about?

    To the delight of the bloodthirsty hosts in Muhammadania, Denmark can boast Mette Frederiksen, Lars Løkke and Peter Hummelgaard, who are always ready by the phone to take new orders from Tehran or an imam from Nørrebro.

    And for this service they will be remembered by generations to come.

    “The thousand-year-old genocide of Armenians at the hands of Turkic peoples has reached a new level. Several watchdog organizations — including the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Genocide Watch, and the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention — are accusing Azerbaijan of committing genocide against the 120,000 Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh. …”

  7. “Germans are nationalist underneath the surface, it won’t take much to put them back in uniform and start marching again. The greens on the other hand are communist, and they will be dealt with sooner or later.”

    Ditto that.
