Candace Owens Creates Family Drama w/ Rant about Satanic, Pedophile Jews Killing JFK

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Blexit founder Candace Owens’s increasingly unhinged remarks may have cost her a high-profile position as one of the Daily Wire’s leading commentators.

Now, her unbridled anti-Semitism may be creating tension within her own family, the New York Post reported.

Owens’s father-in-law, Lord Michael Farmer, distanced himself from the right-wing commentator by defending Israel in a lengthy, 14-post thread via X.

“In view of public comments from a high-profile member of my family, I want to put my own views on antisemitism and Israel’s current military campaign in Gaza on public record,” the British aristocrat wrote.

Farmer, a big-money donor to Conservative Party politicians in the United Kingdom, also serves as vice-chair trustee of the Council of Christians and Jews, an organization started in 1942.

He appeared specifically to rebuff comments from Owens that hinted at Holocaust denialism, in which she referred to the experiments of Nazi scientist Josef Mengele as “bizarre propaganda,” the Post reported.

“As a teenager, growing up in the wake of WW2, I became very aware of the cruelty meted out, before and during that conflict, against Jewish people—because they were Jewish,” Farmer said in his rebuttal. “I found it impossible to comprehend how humans could, intentionally, be as cruel as possible to others.”

Owens, a close friend of rapper Kanye West, has ratcheted up her anti-Jewish rhetoric since exiting the Daily Wire in March, following a high-profile feud with Ben Shapiro, the website’s staunchly Zionist co-founder and editor emeritas.

In a recent video, Owens garnered controversy by comparing modern-day Jews to Satanists and pedophiles.

She also complained about feeling the need to beef up her own security detail as a result of her outspoken criticism, before insinuating that there was a Jewish conspiracy behind the 1963 assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.

“Every person who speaks about Israel has to make a statement that they don’t want to get killed,” Owens claimed, according to Israel National News.

“… The way you get comfortable with it is, you’re like: ‘You know, they shot JFK in an open car, he was a sitting president, so my security doesn’t matter, if they want me they’re gonna get me,'” she added.

“That’s not a normal thought process to have,” she said. “We don’t have that about any other country in the world, except for the one that took over ours—and that’s the truth.”

Owens is not alone in voicing her suspicion that Israel’s intelligence service, Mossad, may have played a role in Kennedy’s assassination due to his opposition to Israel obtaining nuclear capabilities.

Among those supporting the theory is Oliver Stone, the Oscar-winning director of the 1991 movie JFK.

The star-studded movie public skepticism of JFK’s death back into the forefront—although it did not float the Mossad theory, instead suggesting it was anti-communist Cuban militants who hatched the assassination plot.

JFK’s own nephew, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has similarly endorsed the notion that the Camelot president’s foreign entanglements—including his efforts to de-escalate the growing tension in Vietnam—were the motive behind a CIA-led coup—although he, too, has stopped short of implicating Israel in the assassination.

In responding to his daughter-in-law’s diatribe—which comes amid the backdrop of Muslim-centered unrest in both the U.S. and the U.K.—Farmer spoke in defense of Israel, calling it a “rare example of a democracy in the Middle East.”

He further argued that Israel was justified in its recent military counterstrike against Hamas in Gaza following the stunning sneak attack on Oct. 7, 2023, which led to the brutal rape, abduction and/or murder of more than 1,400 Israelis.

“Israel has little option but to fight its enemy where it chooses to hide itself—in tunnels under key infrastructure and behind innocent civilians,” Farmer wrote.

 

Despite the apparent disagreement within the family, Owens released a statement dispelling the media’s speculation of a family feud.

“I so genuinely hate to take the wind out of the media’s sails, but I just returned from a two-week holiday with my father-in-law 72 hours ago,” she said in a statement to the New York Post.

She also denied that any serious philosophical disagreements would be consequential for her family’s integrity.

“While we have different perspectives on a variety of topics, we do not disagree on what it means to be a family,” Owens said.

Judge Merchan’s Daughter Reportedly Caught Concealing Work for Harris Campaign

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) On Aug. 1, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, opened an investigation into the daughter of Democrat Judge Juan Merchan—who’s set to sentence Donald Trump in the Manhattan campaign finance case on Sept. 18—over her past work for Vice President Kamala Harris.

In response to Jordan’s probe, a business partner for Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, said their firm, Authentic Campaigns Inc., was being “targeted by a baseless right-wing conspiracy theory that suggests our company is somehow involved in the Donald Trump fraud trial in New York.” The business partner, Mike Nellis—an organizer for “White Dudes for Harris”—further denied that Authentic has done business with Harris since at least before Jan. 1, 2023.

However, conservative media personality Laura Loomer has revealed information suggesting that Merchan and Nellis have indeed provided services for the Harris campaign via another corporate entity, Avalanche Acquisitions LLC.

Loomer has reported inaccuracies in the past—such as when she falsely said Orlando neo-Nazi Kent “Boneface” McLellan was a CIA asset—but her info on this matter appears to be solid. She posted receipts showing that Merchan and Nellis are both officers for Avalanche, and that Avalanche has provided services for the Biden Victory Fund, which is now reportedly the Harris Victory Fund.

“Why are you and Loren Merchan using the same office for Authentic Campaigns and Avalanche Acquisitions while you’re still working for the Kamala Harris and Joe Biden?” Loomer asked Monday in a Tweet directed at Nellis, saying that she’s sending her findings to the Judiciary Committee.

Nellis didn’t respond to Loomer’s tweet, and Loren Merchan didn’t immediately respond to a Headline USA email inquiry about the matter.

Loomer tweeted again later Monday night, this time revealing footage of Nellis at Loren’s wedding.

Loomer said the wedding footage is evidence that Nellis lied when he said he never had communication with Judge Merchan. But this appears to be a typical Loomer embellishment, as Nellis said in his response to Jordan that he never spoke to Judge Merchan about the Trump prosecution.

Slowing Official Sector Gold Purchases – a New Level or a Temporary Dip?

(Money Metals News Service) Significantly higher purchases from the official sector at times provided essential support to gold prices over 2022-23 when aggressive interest rate hikes undermined professional investor interest in gold.

After hitting an all-time high of 1,082t in 2022, net purchases by the official sector remained exceptionally strong in 2023, exceeding 1,000t for the second year in a row. For both years, central banks made up for over 20% of annual gold demand, compared to roughly 10% during the 2010s.

While the official sector has remained a major bullion buyer so far this year, the pace of acquisitions has slowed in recent months. In Q2.24, Metals Focus estimated that net official sector purchases totaled 183t, down by 39% from Q1.24 (300t). Notwithstanding this slowdown, Q2 activity in absolute terms was still elevated by historical standards (44% higher than the quarterly average over 2010-19). Indeed, with significantly higher volumes in Q1, net purchases exceed 480t in H1.24, making it the highest-ever H1 figure and the third-highest half-yearly figure (after H2.22 and H2.23) in our data series starting from 2010.

Looking at countries that have reported purchases from 2024 to date, this was dominated by countries that had been active buyers in previous years. Among these, Turkey (+44t) and India (+38t) were the top bullion buyers in H1.24, the only two countries that had reported significantly higher y/y net increase this year. For the rest of declared activity, such as China (+29t) and Poland (+19t), a slower pace of gold additions was the norm.

To some extent, this slowdown could have been related to gold’s remarkable price gains from March onwards. Even though reserve managers tends to be less affected by gold price fluctuations, record prices and the speed of the rally may have impacted decisions on how much to buy in the short-term. Moreover, even with slower buying (or no changes in gold holdings), rising gold prices still lifted the yellow metal’s share of international reserves for most countries in H1.24. This also helps explain why official sector activity has slowed in recent months.

As was the case in 2022-23, de-dollarisation has remained the principal driver behind central banks’ interest in gold so far this year. In large part, this has reflected elevated geopolitical tensions in the last couple of years, particularly after the US arguably decided to ‘weaponise’ the dollar via sanctions against Russia. Despite limited use in transactions, gold is generally viewed as a safe asset which can be stored on home soil and so insulated from sanctions or seizure.

Concerns about the long-term sustainability of US debt have also gained increasing attention this year. Regardless of the results of the upcoming US election, the scope for meaningful cuts in the US budget deficit seems unlikely in the years to come. The scope for a shift to other key currencies, such as the euro and yen, is limited, due to poor economic prospects and worsening sovereign debt issues. Given gold’s remarkable price performance, it is perhaps unsurprising that some central banks decided to lift their exposure to the yellow metal.

On top of healthy purchases, an absence of significant disposals also helps keep net buying from central banks elevated. In fact, gross official sector sales in H1.24 were down by two-thirds y/y, though this

compared with a high base in H1.23 when sales were boosted by a temporary (and extraordinary) injection of gold liquidity by the Turkish central bank into the local market ahead of the presidential election. Almost all official sector disposals during 2024-to-date came from countries that had been major bullion buyers over the last decade or so. Instead of “buy and passively hold,” some countries (such as the Philippines and several countries in the CIS) adopted a more active management strategy, by maintaining gold’s share around a certain target. With a rise in gold prices in recent months, it is perhaps unsurprising that these aforementioned countries cut their gold holdings, albeit by a limited amount.

Going forward, these favorable factors are expected to remain relevant for the foreseeable future, which should continue to justify lifting gold reserves. If anything, the upcoming 2024 US presidential election may result in additional geopolitical instability, particularly if the Republicans win the presidency. Of course, the impact of rising prices cannot be ignored. Metals Focus retains the view that gold will post new all-time highs later this year. This in turn may restrain the scale of official sector purchases, as some reserve managers may view current prices as being too high as an entry point.

On balance, therefore, we expect a slightly slower pace of net purchases in H2.24, with the 2024 total likely to be around 800t on a net basis. Even with a slowdown, the projected 2024 total is some 300t or 57% above the annual average for the 2010s. More importantly, it is worth remembering that the gold market has remained in a structural surplus in recent years. Such buoyant purchases from the official sector have to some degree helped to alleviate the burden on investors who have absorbed excessive supplies in the gold market.

Biden is Sending Arms to Saudi Arabia Despite Country Refusing to Pay Debt

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Saudi Arabia is reportedly refusing to pay the U.S. at least $15 million for refueling its warplanes, but the Biden regime is sending the country more armaments regardless of the unpaid debt.

The Intercept first revealed the Saudi’s delinquency last week, reporting that the country owes $15 million from a remaining balance of a $300 million bill for aerial refueling missions from its war on Yemen.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a longtime critic of the Saudis, reacted to the reporting this week, calling the situation a “national disgrace.”

“Yemen’s children will grow up knowing Saudi Arabia’s brutal war that caused so much slaughter and starvation was made possible with American support. Now, the billionaire crown prince apparently will not reimburse America’s taxpayers for refueling his warplanes,” Paul told The Intercept.

“Saudi Arabia’s delinquency, and our government’s arrogant lack of transparency, further demonstrates that America’s servility to this autocratic regime is a national disgrace.”

News of the Saudi’s delinquency comes as civil court proceedings reveal that the country may have sponsored the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America. But despite the fact that the Saudis may have been responsible for killing thousands of Americans, the Biden administration apparently needs the regime as it prepares for a possible war with Iran.

Along with the Saudis, the Biden administration has begun backing al-Qaeda in Yemen to counter the Houthis, which have been opposing Israel. A January investigation from BBC showed that members of the terrorist organization now hold official positions within the Saudi- and U.S.-backed government of Yemen.

One of the al-Qaeda members now backed by Biden is reportedly Nasser al-Shiba, a suspect in the attack on the US warship USS Cole, which killed 17 American sailors in October 2000. “Multiple sources told us that he is now the commander of one of the STC military units,” BBC said.

The Middle East conflict has expanded to include at least 16 countries: Israel, Iran, the U.S., the UK, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Djibouti and Lebanon.

$1 Million Gold Bars for the First Time Ever!

(Mike Maharrey, Money Metals News Service) For the first time ever, a 400-ounce bar of gold is worth $1 million. No wonder so many central banks and investors are piling up the yellow metal.

We hit the $1 million gold bar milestone on Friday when the price of gold topped $2,500 for the first time.

The price of gold is up about 22 percent on the year and has set several new records along the way. 

Of course, you don’t have to have $1 million to buy a gold bar. A 400-ounce bar is quite heavy and isn’t the standard except in some markets such as Europe. In the U.S.  kilo bars and 100-ounce bars are more common. But even a 100-ounce bar is nothing to sneeze at, costing a quarter-million dollars with gold at $2,500 an ounce.

Consumers can buy gold in much smaller sizes, including 1-ounce, 5-ounce, and 10-ounce bars.

It’s not so much that gold is getting more expensive. The dollar is getting weaker. The greenback hit a 7-month low on Monday as markets anticipate the Federal Reserve’s pivot to easier monetary policy. In effect, this means more inflation. 

In fact, the central bank already loosened monetary policy when it quietly announced that it would begin to taper balance sheet reduction in June. 

The balance sheet serves as a direct pipeline to the money supply. When the Fed buys assets – primarily U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities – it does so with money created out of thin air. Those assets go on the balance sheet and the new money gets injected into the economy.

This expansion of the money supply is, by definition, inflation, and as the dollar depreciates, gold gets more expensive in dollar terms.

As the Fed cuts rates and eventually ends balance sheet reduction, the pace of inflation will increase, meaning a more rapid depreciation of the dollar.

As economist Daniel Lacalle explained, “Gold protects many investors against the erosion of the currency’s purchasing power, i.e., inflation, without the extreme volatility of Bitcoin. If the market discounts further monetary expansion to cover the accumulated deficits, it is normal for the investor to seek protection with gold, which has centuries of history as an alternative to fiduciary money and offers a low-volatility hedge against currency debasement.”

This explains why so many central banks are adding gold to their reserves. 

Central banks globally added a net 483 tons of gold through the first six months of the year,  5 percent above the record of 460 tons in H1 2023.

Central banks typically hold dollars in the form of U.S. Treasuries. The market price of government bonds has fallen 7 percent between 2019 and 2024. As a result, many central banks face latent losses from a slump in the value of their assets. One way to offset this dollar depreciation is to buy gold. 

This is exactly what’s happening. The share of dollars making up global reserves has dropped by 14 percent since the turn of the century.

There is no reason to think this trend is going to reverse any time soon. In fact, de-dollarization seems more likely to accelerate than slow down. That means gold will likely set more milestones in the months and years ahead.

Import Tax Cut Boosts Indian Gold Demand

(Mike Maharrey, Money Metals News Service) As expected, India’s recent gold import tax cut lowered prices and spurred demand for the yellow metal.

India ranks as the world’s second-largest gold consumer behind China.

Late last month, the Indian government cut taxes on gold and silver imports by more than half, lowering duties from 15 percent to 6 percent. 

The domestic gold price fell 6 percent month-on-month after the lower duty went into effect, even as the dollar price of gold increased.

Despite the falling price, gold is still up around 10 percent on the year in rupee terms. 

The World Gold Council called the falling price “a shot in the arm” for Indian gold demand. 

“Anecdotal reports suggest that there has been strong buying interest from jewelry retailers as well as consumers since the duty reduction. At the recently concluded India International Jewellery Show,  manufacturers noted that there has been a substantial increase in order bookings from retailers, who are preparing for the festive and wedding season running through December. In some cases, these orders have reached levels not seen in several years. Additionally, the trend of bar and coin buying remains strong, supported by consumers as well as jewelers who are capitalizing on supportive gold prices to stock up for future manufacturing.”

World Gold Council analysts said that the lower import taxes could boost gold jewelry, bar, and coin demand by 50 tons or more in the second half of 2024.

In another sign of increasing demand, domestic gold prices shifted from a discount to a premium over international prices. Gold had been trading at a discount for five straight months. 

There was also a notable surge in inflows of gold into Indian-based ETFs. According to data compiled by the Association of Mutual Funds (AMFI), net ETF gold inflows for July were the highest since February 2020 and 84 percent higher month-on-month.

Gold imports into India were stable in July, totaling $3.1 billion. Between April and July, imports averaged $3.2 billion, with volumes ranging between 43 and 47 tons.

Indians have historically had an affinity for gold. Indian households own an estimated 25,000 tons of gold, and that likely understates the amount given the large black market in the country. Gold is deeply interwoven into the country’s marriage ceremonies and cultural rituals. Indians have long valued the yellow metal as a store of wealth, especially in poorer rural regions. Around two-thirds of India’s gold demand comes from beyond the urban centers, where large numbers of people operate outside the tax system.

Gold isn’t considered a luxury in India. Even poor Indians buy gold. According to a 2018 ICE 360 survey, one in every two households in India had purchased gold within the last five years. Overall, 87 percent of Indian households own some gold. Even households at the lowest income levels in India hold some of the yellow metal. According to the survey, more than 75 percent of families in the bottom 10 percent of income managed to buy some gold.

The yellow metal was a lifeline for Indians buffeted by the economic storm caused by the government’s response to COVID-19. After the Indian government locked down the country, banks tightened credit to mitigate the default risk. Unable to secure traditional loans, Indians used gold to secure financing. As Indians endured a second wave of lockdowns, many Indians resorted to selling gold outright to make ends meet.

House Dems Forced to Use Fake Names at Chicago Hotels amid Fears of Leftist Violence

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) House Democrats are being told to check into hotels under fake names to avoid being detected by up to 100,000 pro-Hamas protesters in Chicago, where the Democratic National Convention began on Aug. 19, 2024.

Axios reported that security officials of the Democratic Party are concerned that the far-left protesters could attack members of Congress.

The protests were planned before Kamala Harris was appointed the Democratic presidential nominee after the leftist establishment organized a coup to pressure Joe Biden to drop out of the race.

The news source reported that congressional security officials are advising House Democrats attending the Democratic National Convention next week “not to book hotel rooms under [their] own names or engage with protesters if confronted.”

“The guidance comes as some Democratic lawmakers are fearful about their safety after being rattled by a series of disruptive pro-Palestinian protests since the Israel-Hamas war started last year,” Axios reported.

An anonymous lawmaker told the news source that some hotels “have been getting random calls asking for people.”

The official guidance from the House sergeant-at-arms to Democratic representatives at the convention is to duck and cover, try not to engage the confronting protesters and report to Capitol Police.

Other anonymous lawmakers said they are concerned about their safety since they are told to avoid some city areas.

“The protesters aren’t staying in a designated protest site… and there are people who are going to go and really try to cause trouble,” one of the lawmakers said.

The Democrats who decided to attend the DNC were also given a welcome package that emphasized that the Secret Service is in charge of convention security and “has been coordinating with all levels of law enforcement agencies,” including the Capitol Police and the Chicago Police Department, providing “over 400 hours of training to officers specifically for this event.”

Some Democrats, however, may not be satisfied by that reassurance, considering that the Secret Service was responsible for protecting Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pa.

Menendez Eyes Biden Pardon—Is Hunter Next in Line?

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Disgraced Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., may soon be graced by a pardon from outgoing President Joe Biden, the New York Post reported on Monday.

Menendez is set to resign from the Senate on Tuesday and is actively negotiating a pardon, sources told the outlet.

The negotiations are reportedly tied to rumors of his third-party Senate bid as part of a broader deal.

“He’s likely trying to get a pardon or a reduction in his sentence,” a New Jersey political operative told the outlet.

Menendez was convicted of public corruption on July 16. A jury found him guilty of accepting bribes from two businessmen in exchange for supporting policies favorable to the Egyptian government. 

The senator announced his resignation in July, likely under pressure from his Democratic colleagues. Sources suggest that Menendez’s decision to resign may have been influenced by potential negotiations for a favorable outcome. 

“Bob Menendez doesn’t do things without getting something back, and at this point I would think he would want to get out of the way to spare his kids the embarrassment, and maybe even help his wife,” the source alleged. 

Menendez is set to be sentenced on Oct. 29 and faces a maximum sentence of 222 years in federal prison. 

Thomas Anderson, director of the Last Government Watchdog, a transparency and accountability group, said that Menendez’s last-ditch is to clinch a presidential pardon “by dropping out of a race he should have never been a part of.” 

Political analyst Hank Sheinkopf predicted that Menendez might not receive a pardon and could be used as a “poster boy for corruption in the Democratic Party.” 

He added, “It’s not the way he wanted the story for him to go. If it were to happen, it would happen after the November 5 election.” 

Menendez will be replaced by George Samir Helm, a former chief of staff to Gov. Phil Murphy.

With Biden not seeking re-election, speculation continues to grow about who else might receive a presidential pardon, with critics predicting at the possibility of Hunter Biden being next in line. 

Feds Rejoice Over George Santos’s Guilty Plea

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Federal prosecutors clinched a major victory on Monday after disgraced former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y. entered a guilty plea over several crimes, putting an end to one of the most infamous careers in recent American politics.

Santos pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges after he was busted for stealing campaign funds for personal use.

He represented New York’s Third Congressional District from January to December 2023, when the House expelled him.

During his time in Congress, Santos earned a 100% conservative rating from Heritage Action, the PAC of the Heritage Foundation. His ouster diminished the already slim Republican majority, further empowering Democrats.

As part of his plea deal, Santos agreed to pay $373,749.97 in restitution and $205,002.97 in forfeiture, according to a DOJ press statement. Santos faces a minimum of two years in federal prison. 

An emotional Santos addressed reporters outside the Manhattan courthouse after entering the guilty plea.

“This plea is not just an admission of guilt. It’s an acknowledgment that I need to be held accountable like any other American that breaks the law,” Santos said, through tears. 

U.S. Attorney Breon Peace for the Eastern District of New York remarked that Monday seemed to be the first time Santos has been truthful about what transpired with his campaign finances. 

“By pleading guilty, Mr. Santos has acknowledged that he repeatedly defrauded federal and state government institutions as well as his own family, supporters and constituents,” he wrote in a press release.

He added, “His flagrant and disgraceful conduct has been exposed and will be punished. Mr. Santos’s conviction demonstrates this Office’s enduring commitment to rooting out corruption and grift by public officials.”

Santos’s guilty plea came after his campaign treasurer, Nancy Marks, pleaded guilty to similar charges on Oct. 5, 2023.

Santos and Marks, according to prosecutors, executed a fraudulent scheme to obtain money for the campaign by submitting highly inflated reports to the Federal Election Commission. This scheme allowed them to inflate their finances to mislead the FEC, the national party and its supporters.

Walz Praises Communist China in Unearthed Article

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The unearthed article revealed that Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz had been brainwashing high school students in the 1990s about how “wonderful” communism in China is because “everyone shares” and gets free food and housing.

“It means that everyone is the same and everyone shares. The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing,” he said during a lesson on China’s communist system in November 1991.

The Washington Free Beacon discovered Walz’s remarks in a 1991 article by the Alliance Times-Herald. The article focused on his work on student exchange programs in China. Walz was teaching social studies at a Nebraska high school at the time.

Walz previously compared socialism to “another person’s neighborliness,” traveled multiple times to China, brought “gifts” from communists who lived there, led trips to China for American high school students that were sponsored by the dictatorial regime, married his wife on the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre and spent their honeymoon in China.

His former student, who went on a trip to China with him in 1995, confirmed to Alpha News that Walz is a communist who “adores” China and is a “Moast to the core.”

“It was almost a daily revelation of how much he adores the communist regime. There was no doubt he was a true believer. I’ve been trying to tell people this for 30 years. Nobody wanted to listen,” the former student, who identified himself only as “Shad,” said.

“Shad” also remembered how Walz was always buying multiple copies of the Little Red Book, the book of quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong, the Chinese dictator who ruled the country and killed tens of millions of people from 1949 until he died in 1976.

“At night, we’d go out, we’d walk the street fairs. We’d be buying souvenirs, and Tim was always buying the Little Red Book. He said he gave them as gifts … I saw him buy at least a dozen on the trip. It would be like [being] in Germany and buying copies of Mein Kampf,” he said.

“Shad” then said Walz’s communist beliefs reflect the policies he pushed in the United States, such as pro-abortion laws, anti-free speech initiatives and the encouragement of “snitching” on those who decided not to follow the authoritarian COVID-19 mandates.

“He’s a Maoist to the core and should not be underestimated… People need to have their eyes wide open. The snitch hotline in Minnesota is straight out of CCP. Tim Walz is a very bright guy. None of this by accident,” he added.
