Buffalo Mass Murderer Shared Plans for Shooting with, “Retired Federal Agent”
May 28th, 2022Via: The Buffalo News:
Law enforcement officers are investigating whether a retired federal agent had about 30 minutes advance notice of a white supremacist’s plans to murder Black people at a Buffalo supermarket, two law enforcement officials told The Buffalo News.
Authorities believe the former agent – believed to be from Texas – was one of at least six individuals who regularly communicated with accused gunman Payton Gendron in an online chat room where racist hatred was discussed, the two officials said.
The two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation stated these individuals were invited by Gendron to read about his mass shooting plans and the target location about 30 minutes before Gendron killed 10 people at Tops Markets on Jefferson Avenue on May 14.
…
Federal authorities are investigating if the retired agent provided information to Gendron before he went on his shooting spree, the two law enforcement officials told The News.
In addition to law enforcement sources, two other individuals with knowledge of the mass shooting investigation have also confirmed that federal authorities are looking into the former agent’s relationship to the shooter.

Ukraine: English Speaking Fighters Engage Russian BTR
May 27th, 2022I hear British and American accents. Besides the anti-armor rockets, they are armed with FN SCAR rifles with optics. The Ukraine International Legion forces I’ve seen are typically equipped with (far less expensive) AK-type rifles without optics.
Who are these people? Is this some sort of mercenary group?

Russia Deploys 50-Year-Old T-62 Tanks To Ukraine
May 26th, 2022Via: The Warzone:
Numerous Cold-War era Russian T-62 tanks have been photographed at Melitopol railway station in southeastern Ukraine near the current front lines of the three-month-old conflict in the country. Whether the tanks will be used by Russian forces or turned over to local separatist groups is currently unclear, but their presence can only raise questions about Russia’s depleting armor reserves after months of significant losses.
Twitter Paying $150 Million in Settlement Over Using Phone Numbers for Targeted Ads
May 26th, 2022Via: Cnet:
Twitter is paying a $150 million penalty as part of a settlement over the US Federal Trade Commission’s allegations that it used account security data like phone numbers and email addresses to target advertising at users.
The company had told users their phone numbers and emails would be used to protect their accounts with two-factor authentication, but then also used them for advertising purposes between 2014 and 2019, the FTC said Wednesday.
Chinese Scientists Develop Plan to Destroy Starlink Satellites
May 26th, 2022Via: Newsweek:
A team of Chinese researchers has reportedly published a study calling for anti-satellite capabilities that could disable Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites if deemed necessary.
The study was led by Ren Yuanzhen, a researcher with the Beijing Institute of Tracking and Telecommunications, and co-authored by scientists within China’s defense industry according to the South China Morning Post, which has seen the publication.
The study is said to call for “a combination of soft and hard kill methods” that could be used to stop some Starlink satellites from working.
…
While Starlink has commercial users it has also been put to military use, pushing data across the U.S. Army network at a faster rate than previously capable.
This military capability, plus the fact that SpaceX has launched more than 2,650 satellites into space in just a few years and aims to launch thousands more, has led to concerns among countries with which the U.S. has political tensions.
Earlier this month, Dmitry Rogozin, head of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency, apparently sent a threat to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk after Starlink technology was supplied to Ukraine and used to help Ukrainian forces against Russia in the countries’ ongoing war.
According to an English translation posted by Musk, Rogozin said that Musk was involved in supplying Ukraine with “military communication equipment” and that he would “be held accountable like an adult.”

Hillary Clinton Behind Russia-Trump Collusion Narrative
May 25th, 2022I guess she’ll be off to jail then? *snort*
Via: Wall Street Journal:
The Russia-Trump collusion narrative of 2016 and beyond was a dirty trick for the ages, and now we know it came from the top—candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. That was the testimony Friday by 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook in federal court, and while this news is hardly a surprise, it’s still bracing to find her fingerprints on the political weapon.
Mr. Mook testified as a witness in special counsel John Durham’s trial of Michael Sussmann, the lawyer accused of lying to the FBI. In September 2016, Mr. Sussmann took claims of a secret Trump connection to Russia’s Alfa Bank to the FBI and said he wasn’t acting on behalf of any client. Prosecutors say he was working for the Clinton campaign.
…
In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news. The campaign also delivered the claims to the FBI, giving journalists another excuse to portray the accusations as serious and perhaps true.
Most of the press will ignore this news, but the Russia-Trump narrative that Mrs. Clinton sanctioned did enormous harm to the country. It disgraced the FBI, humiliated the press, and sent the country on a three-year investigation to nowhere. Vladimir Putin never came close to doing as much disinformation damage.
Expert Calls CDC Advisory Panel a ‘Kangaroo Court’ Saying Approval of COVID Boosters for Kids Is a ‘Slap in the Face of Science’
May 24th, 2022Via: Daily Mail:
One of the nation’s leading public health experts has slammed the CDC’s top advisory panel over its approval of Covid booster shots for children as young as five years old – just as leading jab manufacturer Pfizer reveals plans to submit an application to give the shots to babies as young as six-months this week.
Dr Marty Makary, a public health expert from Johns Hopkins University, told DailyMaill.com that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is a ‘kangaroo court’ full of nothing but like-minded individuals pushing what he describes as ‘low value care’.
He also said that they never have seen a vaccine they would not approve, and that others who had previously gone against the pro-jab dogma had been forced off of the panel.
