WEF Speaker Says ‘A Lot of Jobs Will Disappear’ Due to ‘Just Transition’
One World Economic Forum (WEF) panelist had a moment of unprecedented clarity Wednesday in speaking the truth: a ‘just transition’ cannot happen when imposed on people.
Trade Union Official Veronica Nilsson told WEF members that when “changes are imposed on people,” the ‘just transition’ is bound to fail.
“To manage the energy transition … you have to [make] changes with people,” she said. “You need their buying … and acceptance of reforms.”
Nilsson, who serves as General Secretary of the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD (TUAC), told the audience to expect better outcomes when that becomes reality.

“You Need an F-16, Not an AR-15” — Biden Once Again Suggests US Govt Could Murder Gun-Owners
Authored by Michael Clements via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours)
President Joe Biden told a group of mayors that they would be instrumental in implementing his Second Amendment policies, including a ban on some types of semiautomatic rifles, so-called “assault weapons.”
President Biden welcomed a bipartisan group of mayors attending the U.S. Conference of Mayors Winter Meeting at the White House on Friday.
He told the mayors that the American Rescue Plan has spent $15 billion on infrastructure and public safety.
The president said much of that money went directly to cities to hire and equip police officers, institute violence intervention programs, and fund other crime prevention programs.

The Democratic Socialists of America are red all over — with a financial situation so dire that some leaders are demanding job cuts and the layoff of staffers just like a corporate America entity, The Post has learned.
The DSA — which has led protests against Israel over the Jewish State’s retaliatory response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack — is deep in a seven-figure hole and desperately in need of a way to stanch the red ink, members acknowledge.
“We will cut $500,000 from staff-related expenses. We will first ask for volunteers from both director-level and bargaining unit staff to have their position cut and receive severance,” according to a proposal advanced by members of DSA’s National Political Committee affiliated with its Marxist Bread and Roses caucus.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ended his presidential campaign on Sunday amid dour poll numbers in New Hampshire and South Carolina, marking a major shift in the primary field and the downfall of a politician once seen as former President Donald Trump’s chief rival.
Meanwhile, Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley are growing increasingly combative on the trail ahead of New Hampshire’s primary on Tuesday, where polls show Haley has her best chance at beating Trump.
As Trump defends his racially charged attacks on Haley based on her name, Haley has been going after Trump over his age and, she argues, his decline in mental stamina.

Mother Previously Convicted of Murder Accused of Killing Son, Stuffing Body Behind False Wall
A 66-year-old woman previously convicted of murder after driving around with a body in her trunk is now accused of killing her son and then hiding his body behind a false wall in a Mississippi home.
The Gulfport Police Department arrested Jerri Lynn Isreal for first-degree murder in the death of her 42-year-old son John Allen Gaither, the agency said Saturday in a press release. The investigation began Dec. 22 when officers received a call about a possible missing person at a home in the 2200 block of 16th Avenue. As detectives investigated further, they noticed several discrepancies in Isreal’s statements, according to the department.
“Throughout the course of the investigation, Isreal became increasingly uncooperative and changed her statements multiple times,” the press release said.
Police learned that Isreal was convicted of a 1993 murder in Palm Beach, Florida. Isreal killed a woman and drove around with her body in her trunk, the Palm Beach Post reported at the time.
With this information, investigators obtained a search warrant for Isreal’s home. On Thursday investigators found Gaither’s body in a wooden box that was placed behind a false wall in the home, the press release said. Cops did not release a cause of death nor did they reveal a motive behind the killing. Detectives took Isreal to the Harrison County Adult Detention Center where she is being held without bond.

Pennsylvania Gun Restrictions for Adults Under 21 Struck Down by Federal Court
Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours)
Pennsylvania’s ban on adults under 21 carrying guns in public violates the U.S. Constitution, a federal court ruled on Jan. 18.
The Constitution’s Second Amendment, which says that “the people” have the right to “keep and bear arms,” applies to all adults, a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit panel said in a split decision.
“The words ‘the people’ in the Second Amendment presumptively encompass all adult Americans, including 18— to-20-year-olds, and we are aware of no founding-era law that supports disarming people in that age group,” U.S. Circuit Judge Kent Jordan wrote for the majority.

2 Men Arrested in Relation to Demonstration at Toronto Eaton Centre Last December
Toronto police have arrested two men in connection to an incident last December between a demonstrator and another person during a pro-Palestinian protest in front of fashion retailer Zara.
Just before 5 p.m. on Dec. 17, 2023, police were in the area of the Eaton Centre for a demonstration when two men entered the mall and blocked the entrance to the fashion store, preventing employees from closing the doors.
Both men then allegedly began pushing security and tried to gain entry into the store. Police reportedly attempted to remove the protestors from the area, when one of the men pushed an officer and the other man used an umbrella to strike an officer.
Demonstrators reportedly banged on the store shutters and yelled at store employees and officers, and one man then made a verbal threat toward an individual in the mall.

No Need for WEF ‘Conspiracy Theories’ at Davos — Reporting the Truth is Shocking Enough
On last night’s episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra wrapped up Rebel News’ journalistic mission to Davos, Switzerland to report on the annual gathering of oligarchs at the World Economic Forum (WEF), where they discussed how to “rebuild the trust” of everyday people.
The WEF is a for-profit organization cooked up by a man by the name of Klaus Shwab. Ezra said that Schwab fits the caricature of a supervillain so closely that it seems unreal:
His father was a Nazi industrialist, a factory manager who went to Germany to help Hitler’s war effort. He went to Germany to run a factory and Klaus Schwab himself obviously learned from his father. Klaus Schwab was affiliated with the CIA. Like, if you were to write this script, a Hollywood agent would say it’s too on the nose. You can’t have a supervillain-looking guy with a German accent who dresses sometimes like a space alien whose father was a Nazi. No one will believe you. It’s just too far.

UK: Tommy Robinson is Back in a London Court — and I’m Going There to Report the Truth
It’s been a while since I’ve covered Tommy’s legal battles. But this is unusual — I was right there, just a few feet away, when Tommy was arrested. It was a couple of months ago at the London march in support of Britain’s Jews.
I showed up to that march a bit early and went into a coffee shop to stay warm. And there was Tommy Robinson! He had come early, too, to do the same thing I was doing — to report on the march fairly (as opposed to the BBC, which supports Hamas).
I had a good catch-up with Tommy, since I hadn’t seen him in years. It wasn’t just me who was happy to see Tommy. Everyone around us (who were also there for the pro-Jewish march) were also thrilled to have Tommy’s support.
None of the people I saw were upset that Tommy was at the march. The opposite — Britain’s Jews were grateful for his support and excited to see him. He certainly hadn’t done anything wrong. But one of the organizers of the march, Gideon Falter is a far-left Jew, who put his partisan politics above the non-partisan goals of the event. He asked police to arrest Tommy. And, to their discredit, they did.

IDF Finds Gaza Tunnel Where 20 Hostages, Including 5-Year-Old, Were Held in ‘Inhuman Conditions’
IDF troops uncovered a tunnel system in southern Gaza where about 20 Israeli hostages were held “in harsh and inhumane conditions” — including a five-year-old who drew hopeful pictures while in captivity.
Chilling footage uploaded Saturday shows off a vast tunnel spanning more than half a mile below the home of a Hamas commander in Khan Younis, southern Gaza’s largest city where the war has seen the most intense fighting, according to the IDF.
Past several booby traps, explosives and other obstacles laid out by Hamas, the IDF said it found DNA evidence in the tunnels, coupled with testimony from former hostages, that proved the underground system housed as many as 20 Israelis, including Emilia Aloni, 5.

Israel Approves Plan to Transfer Gaza Tax Funds to Norway
Palestinian Authority official Hussein al-Sheikh says ‘any deductions from our financial rights’ would be rejected.
Taxes collected by Israel and bound for Gaza will be held in Norway, instead of being sent to the Palestinian Authority (PA), which exercises limited self-rule in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, according to a plan approved by Israeli officials.
“The frozen funds will not be transferred to the Palestinian Authority, but will remain in the hands of a third country,” said a statement released on Sunday by the Israeli prime minister’s office.
“The money or its consideration will not be transferred under any circumstances, except with the approval of the Minister of Finance of Israel, not even through a third party,” it said.
In line with a deal reached in the 1990s, Israel collects tax on behalf of the Palestinians and makes monthly transfers to the PA pending the approval of the Ministry of Finance.
While the PA was ousted from the strip in 2007, many of its public sector employees in the enclave kept their jobs and continued to be paid with transferred tax revenues.
But nearly a month after the October 7 attack — when Hamas fighters launched an unprecedented assault into southern Israel killing at least 1,139 people, according to an Al Jazeera tally based on Israeli statistics, and taking about 240 captives — Israeli authorities decided to withhold funds earmarked for the Gaza Strip.

Israel Has Only Killed 20-30% of Hamas Terrorists, US Intelligence Says
Israel is falling short of its goal to quickly eradicate Hamas as it has only killed 20% to 30% of the terrorists’ estimated 30,000 militants, according to US intelligence.
More than three months into the war that’s devastated Gaza, Hamas retains the majority of its fighting force with enough munitions to continue firing at Israel and IDF soldiers for months, officials told the Wall Street Journal.
The estimate comes amid IDF claims that about 9,000 Hamas terrorists have been killed since the start of the war, including about 1,000 during the Oct. 7 massacre that killed more than 1,200 Israelis.

At Least 27 Dead After Ukraine Shells Market in Russian-Occupied City, Moscow Officials Claim
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Moscow-installed officials said Ukrainian shelling killed at least 27 people and wounded 25 on Sunday at a market on the outskirts of Donetsk, a Russian-occupied city in the eastern part of the country.
Among the injured in the suburb of Tekstilshchik were two children, said Denis Pushilin, the local leader.
Ukrainian officials in Kyiv did not comment on the incident, and the claims could not be independently verified by The Associated Press. Both sides have increasingly relied on longer-range attacks this winter amid largely unchanged positions on the 1,500-kilometer (930-mile) front line in the nearly 2-year-old war.

Officials Say Shelling at Market in Russian-Occupied Ukraine Kills at Least 25
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — At least 25 people were killed Sunday by shelling at a market on the outskirts of the city of Donetsk in Russian-occupied Ukraine, local officials reported.
A further 20 people were injured in the strike on the suburb of Tekstilshchik, including two children, said Denis Pushilin, head of the Russian-installed authorities in Donetsk. He said that the shells had been fired by the Ukrainian military.
Kyiv has not commented on the event and the claims could not be independently verified by The Associated Press.
Pushilin said that the area had been hit by 155 mm caliber and 152 mm caliber artillery, and that the shells had been fired from the direction of Kurakhove and Krasnohorivka to the west. He also confirmed that emergency services continued to work at the scene.
In a statement, Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the strike, which it blamed on Ukraine, as a “terrorist attack.”

Russia Suspends Operations at Fuel Export Terminal After Suspected Ukrainian Drone Attack
Jan 21 (Reuters) — Russian energy company Novatek said on Sunday it had been forced to suspend some operations at a huge Baltic Sea fuel export terminal due to a fire started by what Ukrainian media said was a drone attack.
The giant Ust-Luga complex, located on the Gulf of Finland about 170 km (110 miles) west of St. Petersburg, is used to ship oil and gas products to international markets. It processes stable gas condensate — a type of light oil — into light and heavy naphtha, kerosene and diesel to be shipped by sea.
It was not clear how long the disruption would last, how many tankers would have to idle outside the port, and what the knock-on effect would be on international energy markets.
The Interfax-Ukraine news agency, citing unnamed sources, said the fire was the result of a special operation carried out by Ukraine’s security services.
“The Ust-Luga Oil terminal in the Leningrad region is an important facility for the enemy. Fuel is refined there, which, among other things, is also supplied to Russian troops,” it cited one source as saying.
“A successful attack on such a terminal not only causes economic damage to the enemy, depriving the occupiers of the opportunity to earn money to wage war in Ukraine, but also significantly complicates the logistics of fuel for the Russian military.”
Reuters could not confirm that the fire resulted from a Ukrainian drone attack.

Ukraine Must Cede Territory to Russia for Peace Deal, Slovakian Prime Minister Fico Declares
Ukraine must be willing to cede some of its territory to Russia for a peace deal, Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Saturday.
Ahead of a scheduled meeting between recently installed Prime Minister Robert Fico and his Ukrainian counterpart Denys Shmyhal on Wednesday, the left-wing populist Slovak leader ruffled feathers in Kyiv by suggesting that any peace solution will likely require some territorial concessions to Russia.
“There has to be some kind of compromise, which will be very painful for both sides. And what are they waiting for? That the Russians will leave Crimea, Donbas and Luhansk? It’s unrealistic,” Fico said according to the Slovak news outlet Aktuality.

85 Chinese Research Groups Listed by Feds as Potential Threat to National Security
The Canadian government has publicly named 85 Chinese research institutions that they believe “may pose” a threat to national security and potentially sensitive research on Tuesday.
The list of research institutions also includes 12 Iranian and six Russian organizations, which the Canadian government believes have ties to “military, national defence or state security entities.”
The list is part of an effort to keep Canadian research and development secured from theft and espionage, particularly in sectors like advanced weaponry, quantum science and aerospace.

On Saturday morning, Biden shuffled into a media scrum on the South Lawn to offer a few remarks before heading to Camp David for a weekend vacation after his Carribean vacation.
8,000 miles away voters in the Republic of China, also known as Taiwan, had just elected President ‘William’ Lai who had promised to preserve the nation’s independence from its greedy Communist superpower neighbor.
“Mr. President, do you have a reaction to the Taiwan election?” a reporter asked.
“We do not support independence,” Biden mumbled.
He did not congratulate Taiwan’s new president-elect because that would offend China.
In December, Chinese Communist dictator Xi Jinping told Biden at a San Francisco summit that the ChiComs were preparing to take Taiwan, but did not have an exact timetable yet. During the summit, China demanded that Biden issue a statement in favor of “peaceful reunification” and against the continuation of Taiwanese independence from the Communist dictatorship.
Biden has given Xi half of what he wanted. The other half is being decided behind the scenes.
Taiwan is waiting on a backlog of $19 billion in weapons from sales mostly made during the Trump administration. Those weapons can make the difference between a Chinese invasion and peace. But the Biden administration has continued delaying the delivery of those weapons.
In 2019, the Trump administration approved a $2.2 billion sale of M1A2 tanks. Those tanks were supposed to have been delivered in 2022, but the Biden administration instead diverted them to Ukraine. Unlike Taiwan, Ukraine wasn’t paying for the tanks, but went to the front of the line anyway because the Biden administration saw it as a bigger priority than taking on China.
After being denied the right to buy F-22 and F-35 jets, Taiwan was allowed to buy $8 billion worth of F-16 jets. Those were supposed to be delivered in 2023, they’ve since slipped to 2024. The jets, inadequate as they are, are crucial at a time when Communist China has been conducting non-stop penetrations into the Republic of China’s airspace to wear down its aircraft.
A $2 billion deal for 400 Harpoon anti ship missiles, some of the most crucial defensive weapons the Republic of China needs, was signed in 2020 with delivery scheduled for 2029.
The weapons orders were supposed to deter a Chinese Communist invasion, but the delays have instead made it more likely. Xi’s warning to Biden reflects the window before weapons deliveries are likely to occur and the outcome of the upcoming American presidential election.
Beijing is most likely to strike when Taiwan and America are at their most vulnerable…

Ten Killed in Sudan Landmine Explosion: Medical Source
A landmine has killed 10 civilians on a bus in northern Sudan, a medical source said Sunday, in what appeared to be the first such incident during the country’s war.
The conflict pitting the regular army against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) erupted in April, and has led to thousands of people being killed and millions displaced.
A medical source at a hospital in Shendi city in River Nile state, who requested anonymity, told AFP that “10 civilians were killed as a result of a mine explosion on a bus” on Saturday.
The vehicle was transporting the passengers from eastern Al-Jazira state to Shendi, 180 kilometres (112 miles) from Khartoum, when the blast happened, the source said.
It is believed to be the first landmine blast to have occurred during the war between Sudan’s rival generals, army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.

The following are among the abuses and murders inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of December 2023.
Christmas Slaughters
Nigeria: Beginning on Christmas Eve and into Christmas Day, Muslim terrorists massacred nearly 200 Christians. Well-armed Muslim Fulani tribesmen hacked, stabbed, riddled with bullets and burned alive Christians, many of whom were in the process of celebrating Christmas. According to one report:
“At least 25 communities across three Local Government Areas [in Plateau State] were targeted. Survivors recounted militia men attacking in large numbers, indiscriminately killing and destroying homes, vehicles, farmlands and other properties. About 37 individuals, primarily women, children and the disabled, were burned to death in their homes. Eight churches and parsonages were also destroyed…”
More than 300 Christians were left seriously wounded; 29,350 people displaced, and countless homes and churches—in just one village, 221 homes—torched during the jihadist raids. “My house was burnt,” said Naomi, a local whose four family members were murdered, “and I mourned on Christmas day.”

Legault Says Quebec is Nearing ‘Breaking Point’ Over Influx of Refugees
Québec is becoming increasingly agitated by Canada’s influx of refugees as the province nears a “breaking point.” Premier François Legault penned a letter Wednesday to express his frustrations with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to The Canadian Press.
“We are very close to the breaking point due to the excessive number of asylum seekers arriving in Québec month after month,” he wrote. “The situation has become unsustainable.”
Nearly 60,000 asylum seekers came to Québec last year, said Legault, with more migrants seeking asylum last September than any month since at least 2017. The premier told Ottawa last February that its resources were “thinly stretched” and could not accommodate more foreigners seeking asylum.

Every patriotic movement will be called Nazi or racist.
We can shrug this off, because we know that we are neither Nazis nor racists.
We also know that we will welcome everyone who wants to join us, to contribute to the well-being of society and defend the rule of law. Their origin and skin color are completely irrelevant.
Unfortunately, the supporters of this view have not been able to break through the wall of lies with which those in power have for decades tried to marginalize Danes.
The Danes have for many years united to show that they are neither supporters of Adolf Hitler nor the Ku Klux Klan, when the paper Politiken and Danmark’s Radio have accused them of being so.
It is high time for people to stand up and ask what these media and their financial and political supporters really have in mind when they slander and criminalize their own population.
One might also wish that some men would stand up and ask why taxpayers should be forced to pay for propagandists and ideologues who wish us no good, but instead work to make us a stubborn minority in our own country.
Has anyone heard of such men?
so if Trump is elected president there will be Soros losers.
and just what does a global ID have to do with environmental safeguarding?

“Europeans Will Succumb To Islam”
– Former Top German Spy Issues New Warning
December 5, 2023 3 minutes read’
https://youtu.be/Egmab4O_Cio?si=uBSlTKKDmbJjFe4T
***
Germany’s former top domestic spy chief, Hans-Georg Maaßen, said in a new interview that Europe is facing an unprecedented crisis due to mass immigration, that Islam is well poised to conquer Europe, and that Germany and Austria could do much to stop the crisis but are choosing not to.
“A completely different culture is approaching us. We are not at all prepared for this, as we’re incapable of resolving conflicts even by means of violence, like family clans do from the Arab states. These people resolve conflicts by violence, whereas people in Central Europe think that this can only be done through the courts,” said Maaßen, who served as president of the Office of the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) from 2012 until 2018, said in his interview with FPÖ TV.
“The Europeans will succumb to Islam. On the one hand, because they are unable to even see this conflict coming, and on the other, because they are incapable of resolving conflicts in a similar fashion,” he said, stating that “the end result will be the gradual destruction of our European cultures.”
Maaßen described Europeans as living without a vision or mission, whereas other competing cultures have a clear idea of what they are and what their objectives are.
“We don’t know where we want to go. What should Germany or Austria look like in 2030? We are living only in the moment, and therefore we are losing out to others who have a religion or ideology, who know where they want to go. We lack a mission,” he continued. “Mostly Muslims come to us with a completely different awareness of culture, religion and family. In secular Europe, religion and family — if they are still important at all — are a matter for the individual, but in these cultures it is a matter for the clan.”
Population replacement by design
Maaßen said that European politicians are actively allowing mass immigration because, according to him, “our politicians want a different population. The political left follows the course of the anti-German ideology. The more heterogeneous a population, the less able it is to articulate itself and have a democratic say. The more politics accepts immigrants from other countries as they see fit and grants them citizenship, the more politics selects the people of the state and influences the election results. These migrants then vote differently than the locals.”
Maaßen said during the interview that countries like Germany and Austria have the tools necessary to stop immigration, but they are making a conscious choice not to.
“Germany and Austria could start rejecting people at the borders from one day to the next — due to the third country regulation,” the former spy chief stated. “Furthermore, the state could deport or ensure voluntary departure for “hundreds of thousands of foreigners who do not want to integrate and who could commit crimes and continue to depend on social benefits from the state.”
One of the major sticking points for Western governments is that third nations have refused to take back foreign nationals, but Maaßen said there are a host of tools for dealing with these recalcitrant nations.
“It should also be possible to persuade third countries to take back their own nationals after deportation orders. If they don’t do it, you could ‘freeze their assets,’ prevent (their citizens) from traveling to Europe and other things. You have to persuade these states to behave in accordance with international law,” he said.
Maaßen doubts that Germany’s politicians are planning to take any serious measures against illegal immigration despite the growing risks, especially from violent cultures.
“Why aren’t migrants simply turned back at the borders?” asks Maaßen. He points to the latest “migration summit” in Germany, where he said he saw “showcase politics” or “dummy politics,” where the main points that were raised were more money for asylum seekers and faster asylum procedures. However, nobody asked the most crucial question: “Why are we letting these people into Germany and Europe in the first place?”
“Why don’t we force countries like Italy and Greece to finally do what they are supposed to do according to the European treaties, namely sensible border protection? Why do we let these people come to us, feed them and spend billions on them, while many locals, poor pensioners with a 920 euro pension after a full working life, have to collect bottles?”
As Remix News has previously reported, millions of German seniors are living in poverty, and increasingly, they are being removed from their own homes to make way for the record influx of migrants coming into the country.
“The Europeans will succumb to Islam. On the one hand, because they are unable to even see this conflict coming, and on the other, because they are incapable of resolving conflicts in a similar fashion,” he said, stating that “the end result will be the gradual destruction of our European cultures.”
Ugh. Just figured that out, huh?

Re: “George Soros’ son Alex warned attendees at the World Economic Forum in Davos that allowing the election of Donald Trump will destroy the public’s trust in democracy.”
If the status quo and the near-term future are what the plutocrats at the WEF call “democracy,” one dreads to think what they consider dictatorship.
The techno-tyranny they propose to create makes a mockery of the very word “democracy”…
“Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the World Economic Forum that a global digital ID system is necessary to meet the UN’s sustainable development goals.”
For years, decades in fact, critics of the U.N. have warned that the organization was working against the interests of the United States (and many people elsewhere besides) and should be shut down as a danger to the public. Those warnings were ignored or dismissed as conspiracy theories. Yet here we are, and the worst forecasts of those skeptics have come to pass.
“In other news, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced that he is ending his presidential campaign, and endorsed Donald Trump.”
Mr. DeSantis may view this as a set-back, but it may be a blessing in disguise, because he can best-serve the cause in his present position as governor of Florida.
…they call dictatorship – a “democracy” 🙂
IMHO they clearly follow the inversion technique today more than ever, as good satanists they are, they do it not to draw attention to their evil plans.
The jabs are not “safe and effective” but “dangerous and ineffective”
Diversity is not “strength” – but “weakness”
and the current regime is not a “liberal democracy” but a “Byzantine bureaucracy”.

One of the first obligations of citizenship is the defense of the nation. In other words the “right” to be drafted. Next Zelensky will be announcing that anyone with a Ukrainian flag in their X heading will be automatically enrolled as citizens. That should flesh out the conscription rolls nicely. Nothing like a couple of months on the Donbas front to mellow an AWFL out.
Don’t worry. The EU and DC would never agree to extradition of draft dodgers (wink, wink); after all Operation Keelhaul is just a reactionary myth.

Increasingly, it’s become clear that whilst AMERICAN CITIZENS continue to pay ever-increasing “chunks” of their income to the government, the government’s willingly FAILING to uphold their part of the contract (i.e., knowingly and willfully permitting an invasion that causes harm to AMERICAN CITIZENS).
