HMM: Former Mitt Romney Adviser Sits on Board of Ukrainian Gas Company That Employed Hunter Biden - Big League Politics

https://ift.tt/2m3yRRU Yesterday, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) piled on President Donald Trump after rough transcripts were released of his July conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trending: Shepard Smith Ordered to Stand Down After Feud with Tucker Carlson Romney is clearly more concerned with Trump’s innocuous diplomatic conversation than the potentially criminal actions of former Vice President Joe Biden, who bragged publicly about abusing his authority to get a prosecutor fired who was allegedly investigating a Ukrainian gas company employing his son. Perhaps Romney doesn’t want to talk about Biden’s abhorrent behavior because of his inner circle’s ties to the same scandal. The American Thinker discovered the connections between a top adviser to Mitt Romney’s failed 2012 Presidential campaign and Burisma, the aforementioned Ukrainian firm that once paid Hunter Biden $50k a month for no apparent reason other than cronyism: Mitt Romney’s national security advisor in

DoorDash hack leaks data of 4.9 million customers, restaurants

https://ift.tt/2nhu9Qx Meal delivery service DoorDash said on Thursday a data breach may have led to information related to 4.9 million customers, delivery executives and restaurants being leaked. The data was accessed by a third-party service provider on May 4, the company said on a blog post. The last four digits of payment cards for some consumers and the last four digits of the bank account numbers for some delivery executives and restaurants may have been leaked. The data may have also included profile information such as names, emails, delivery addresses, phone numbers, as well as the driver’s license numbers of nearly 100,000 delivery executives. The San Francisco-based company got to know of the breach earlier this month and said it was investigating the incident. Users who had joined after April 5, 2018, were not affected, DoorDash said.

The Fed Is Offering $100 Billion a Day in Emergency Loans to Unnamed Banks and Congress Is Not Curious Enough to Hold a Hearing

https://ift.tt/2nEpbO8 The Federal Reserve Bank of New York first initiated its emergency overnight loans to Wall Street this year on Tuesday, September 17, starting off at the rate of $75 billion daily. It then increased its loans by adding, in addition to the $75 billion daily, 14-day term loans in the amount of $30 billion to be offered three times this past week. But after the demand for the first 14-day loan was more than double the $30 billion offered, the New York Fed boosted the next term loans to $60 billion and increased its overnight loans to $100 billion. What will next week bring? When Wall Street can get super cheap loans from the Fed in the tens of billions of dollars with no questions asked by Congress, it will continue upping its demands until the Fed is once again secretly shelling out trillions of dollars while Congress willfully remains in the dark – in other words, a replay of the 2007-2010 financial crisis. The New York Fed is only allowed to engage in these repo

Whistle-blower tells police that Prince Andrew was a visitor to Jeffrey Epstein's Paris apartment

Top Secret Military-Grade Surveillance Drones Might Be Coming To Your Neighborhood

https://ift.tt/2XAZYEM During this already insane era of dystopian paranoia we live in, let me add one more thing for everyone to worry about: the Gorgon Stare. “What’s a Gorgon Stare?” you might ask. SEE ALSO: Why AI Deepfakes Should Scare the Living Bejeezus Out of You The Gorgon Stare is the eye-in-the-sky, a military surveillance drone built by the Pentagon, that can simultaneously track 1,000 moving targets. It’s the cute nickname for a type of wide-area motion imagery (WAMI) technology, that allows a camera, which has had its power greatly expanded, to be attached to a drone—and can then watch and record a massive area. To break it down further, what WAMI does is expand the camera aperture, so an entire city can be watched at once. What it’s really good at is zooming in on particular parts of the imagery on the ground—with a decent amount of detail—while still being able to record everything else. Top that with lots of resolution. For example, an iPhone has roughly 12 million pix

Lifetime Movie of Oxenberg Omitted Some Key Points – Misrepresented Some Others

https://ift.tt/2mINTgm As soon as Keith Raniere was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and a bunch of other charges, it became inevitable that there would be a slew of books, movies and podcasts about him and his sex-slaver cult. Keith Raniere sitting inside a Mexican police vehicle on March 26, 2018. It is our last known photograph of the Vanguard. Treasure it. That’s because the underlying story had all the elements that make for a good story: SEX Hollywood actresses, SEX, money, SEX, dead and missing women, SEX, a cult – and, oh yeah, SEX. And that’s exactly what’s happened. ***** Escaping the NXIVM Cult So far, only one film has been released – Escaping the NXIVM Cult – a made-for-television docudrama that first appeared on the Lifetime network on Saturday, September 21st. It was re-broadcast last night – and for those of you who still haven’t seen it, you’ll get another chance at 12:00 Noon on Saturday, October 5th. Those who have seen the film have generally been impressed

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Biden, CIA broke multiple laws

https://ift.tt/2m3mULU Let’s recap the Ukraine situation, shall we? Former Vice President Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion of U.S. aid (paid by taxpayers) from Ukraine in order to get a prosecutor off his son’s back. (If you can’t see the crime there, I can’t help you.) President Trump, who has the broad foreign policy powers enumerated in the U.S. Constitution, mentioned this malfeasance in a polite leaked conversation with Ukraine’s new president. The propaganda media and leftist elites are now screaming for the impeachment of President Trump due to this information being brought to Rep. Adam Schiff’s attention not by a whistleblower, but, according to The New York Times, a CIA plant in the White House. Yes, that’s the same CIA that cannot legally spy in the United States on another citizen, especially the president. So there’s another crime. Thus, this Ukraine “whistleblower” brouhaha is just another day of the president exposing the truth and crimes of members of the for

NYPD cop arrested on sex charges involving 12-year-old girl

https://ift.tt/2nGzSzJ A New York City police detective who monitored sex offenders was arrested Friday on sex-abuse charges involving a 12-year-old girl. Detective Juan Jimenez, 37, allegedly groped and tried to kiss his daughter’s friend inside his Brooklyn apartment building, the New York Post reported, citing police. According to court documents, Jimenez grabbed the child by the waist and "attempted to kiss (the girl) about the mouth and grabbed (her) buttocks with (her) hands." The girl reported the alleged incident and officials launched an investigation, police said. An NYPD officer was arrested Friday on sex charges involving a young girl. (NYPD) NYPD OFFICER, ‘A GREAT COP, DEDICATED TO KEEPING THIS CITY SAFE,’ KILLED DURING SHOOTOUT IN THE BRONX, POLICE CHIEF SAYS Jimenez, a 13-year veteran of the NYPD, faced two counts charges of sex abuse, forcible touching and acting in a matter injurious to a child.

Adam Schiff (with Nancy Pelosi) Used Ukrainian Arms Dealer Igor Pasternak to Host and Fundraise for Schiff’s Congressional Election

https://ift.tt/2oqFuyF Running for Congress? Short on cash or donations? No need to worry. Now, you too can finance your entire campaign through Ukrainian arms dealers. Igor, for example, will even host the fundraising events in his $2+ million Washington DC brownstone (just one of several such houses he owns in the US). Igor will even provide the catering and valet parking free of charge. Image 1: Igor Pasternak’s luxury home in DC where in 2013 Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi used Igor Pasternak to host and fundraise for Schiff’s congressional election And the best part is that you never have to worry about paying him back for any of these favors, because it’s all absolutely free, no strings attached. After all, everyone knows that Ukrainian arms dealers float the election campaign of congressional candidates like Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and Loretta Sanchez, because they are just so cuddly and lovable. If you don’t buy any of this, then the following Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and Al

CIA Reveals Name of Former Spy in JFK Files—And He's Still Alive

https://ift.tt/2Va933z In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Paris beckoned African-American intellectuals hoping to escape the racism and conformity of American life. Chief among them: Richard Wright, the acclaimed author of Native Son and Black Boy, who arrived in 1947. He was soon joined by Chester Himes, an ex-convict who mastered hard-boiled detective fiction; James Baldwin, the precocious essayist; and Richard Gibson, an editor at the Agence France-Presse. These men became friends, colleagues and, soon, bitter rivals. Their relationship appeared to unravel over France's war to keep its colony in Algeria. Gibson pressured Wright to publicly criticize the French government, angering the acclaimed author. Wright dramatized their falling-out in a roman à clef he called Island of Hallucination, which was never published, even after his death in 1960. In 2005, Gibson published a memoir in a scholarly journal recounting the political machinations his former friend had dramatized, telli

John Solomon: I Have a Trove of 400+ Documents From the US State Department and the Ukraine Government Proving That Joe Biden's/The DNC Media's Cover Story Is a Complete Lie

https://ift.tt/2ndZLXz Julie Kelly digested Solomon's report: John Solomon reporting tonight he has 400+ pages of docs that will prove the Ukrainian probe into Hunter Biden was ongoing when Joe Biden called for the firing of Shokin and that the new prosecutor disputed his predecessor was somehow corrupt. Below, Solomon talks about this cache of documents. He says the media is easily spun by Biden's people on this issue because they, get this, haven't bothered doing the most minimal work of actually reading the primary documents available to them. Gee that doesn't sound like the hard-workin', always readin', never-tweetin' media I know. artisinal 'ette provides this recap, if you can't watch the video: Solomon says Biden is now fair game. He states that Biden says he did not fire the prosecutor over his son, but because that prosecutor was corrupt. Solomon says he obtained over 450 pages of documents from inside Hunter Biden's legal team, from ins

In lurid sidelight to Epstein scandal, Alan Dershowitz asks judge to dismiss defamation case

https://ift.tt/2mqJWfE The first salvos in a federal court case pitting two of the nations most powerful lawyers against each other were heard Tuesday in New York, as noted constitutional law scholar Alan Dershowitz argued that his Twitter attacks against a woman accusing him of sexual abuse are protected free speech. The defamation case promises to provide lurid new details about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking, including whether other powerful men were involved in procuring young women from Epstein for sex. Among the names thrown out at the hearing Tuesday was Leslie Wexner, owner of Victoria’s Secret. Dershowitz said he will be called as a witness should the case go to trial. Dershowitz, 81, is being sued for defamation by Virginia Giuffre, who alleges that, when she was underage, she was repeatedly directed by Epstein to have sex with Dershowitz. Dershowitz has aggressively defended himself, attacking her on Twitter and in other media for years. A professor emeritus at Harvard Un

Private security firm spied on Julian Assange for CIA, reports claim

https://ift.tt/2nFOVtp A Spanish private security company hired to protect the Ecuadorian embassy in London when Julian Assange lived there spied on the WikiLeaks founder for the US intelligence service, it has been claimed. A report in Spanish newspaper El Pais said the company, UC Global SL, allegedly handed over audio and video to the CIA of meetings Assange held with his lawyers. The company is being investigated over the claims by Spain’s High Court, the Audiencia Nacional, said the report. Assange filed a criminal complaint himself, in which he accused the company of violating his privacy and the secrecy of his client-attorney privileges. El Pais said UC Global SL had failed to respond to requests for comment on the claims. Julian Assange entered the Ecuadorian embassy in 2012 (Dominic Lipinski/PA) In April, Assange was dragged out of the embassy after being handed over to the British authorities by Ecuador. He took refuge there in 2012 while on bail and facing extradition to Swe

Cops raid 'killer exorcism cult' hideout led by 'female Buddha' in mountains

https://ift.tt/2nch5Ms Cops have raided dangerous "exorcism" cult led by a "female Buddha" in a secret mountain hideout in Taiwan. Taiwan’s Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) said 19 followers were rescued from the cult’s headquarters based in a monastery, in the island’s central landlocked county of Nantou in August. Reports say followers of "Zhonghua Rixing Yishang" – or "China Daily Virtue", were prohibited from leaving or speaking without permission and one was reportedly killed in a sick ritual. The death of Taiwanese national Ms Fang, 20, in mainland China sparked police investigations across the Taiwan Strait leading to the raid.

Solomon: These once-secret memos cast doubt on Joe Biden's Ukraine story | TheHill

https://ift.tt/2lTXeS5 Former Vice President Joe Biden, now a 2020 Democratic presidential contender, has locked into a specific story about the controversy in Ukraine. He insists that, in spring 2016, he strong-armed Ukraine to fire its chief prosecutor solely because Biden believed that official was corrupt and inept, not because the Ukrainian was investigating a natural gas company, Burisma Holdings, that hired Biden's son, Hunter, into a lucrative job. There’s just one problem. Hundreds of pages of never-released memos and documents — many from inside the American team helping Burisma to stave off its legal troubles — conflict with Biden’s narrative. And they raise the troubling prospect that U.S. officials may have painted a false picture in Ukraine that helped ease Burisma’s legal troubles and stop prosecutors’ plans to interview Hunter Biden during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. For instance, Burisma’s American legal representatives met with Ukrainian officials just da

Nunes says Dems enlisted 'media mouthpieces' to gin up 'fake' impeachment grounds

https://ift.tt/2mSpV1U California Rep. Devin Nunes said on Thursday that Democrats enlisted the mainstream media to gin up a “fake story” to get President Trump impeached. “I want to congratulate the Democrats on the rollout of their latest information warfare operation against the president, and their extraordinary ability once again to enlist the mainstream media in their campaign,” Nunes, the Intelligence committee ranking member, said in a fiery opening statement during Thursday's hearing with the director of national intelligence. The hearing was called to discuss the whistleblower complaint that touched off the latest impeachment push. INTEL CHIEF MAGUIRE DEFENDS HANDLING OF TRUMP CALL COMPLAINT, CALLS ISSUE ‘UNPRECEDENTED’ “This operation began with media reports -- from the prime instigators of the Russian collusion hoax -- that a whistleblower is claiming President Trump made a nefarious ‘promise’ to a foreign leader,” Nunes continued. “The released transcript of the call

High Times for Hunter Biden: Returns Rental Car, Forgets Cocaine Pipe

https://ift.tt/2ltyyzy Breitbart News reports that Hunter Biden, son of Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden, dropped off his rental car at a Prescott, Arizona location in October 2016 and left some of his possessions behind, which included a cocaine pipe. According to Breitbart: Instead of returning the car keys to the drop box where after-hours returns are supposed to go, the car was returned—according to the police report—with the keys left in the gas tank compartment of the vehicle. Also found inside the vehicle, per the police report, were two drivers’ licenses both bearing Hunter Biden’s legal name Robert Biden, as well as “some credit cards with the same name,” “a secret service business card,” and an “Attorney General’s badge” all contained inside a wallet that Hertz rental employees discovered—along with a pipe that Hertz employees thought and police later confirmed was used to smoke illicit drugs, as well as “a white powdery substance in the arm rest of the vehicle.”
