2) From @JordanSchachtel’s report: “misleading credentials:
Li-Meng Yan is not a board certified medical doctor.”
3) “her academic credentials appear to call into question her technical knowledge and level of access that is necessary to advance an empirical claim on this level.”
4) “Dr. Yan’s coauthors on the report are either not real people or pseudonyms. Dr. Yan co-authored her report with 3 PhDs identified as Shu Kang, Jie Guan, and Shanchang Hu. These individuals have no established history of publishing any work under their names.”
5) “The paper did not include the promised evidence that she claimed to possess showing that the virus was created in a lab and/or purposely released by the Chinese military. It simply offered a thesis arguing why that was the case.”
6) “Yan has been continuing to push the narrative, contrary to evidence, that COVID-19 is an incredibly lethal bioweapon that was created to kill Americans.”
(Pointing out Yan’s fallacy does not discount the fact that the CCP is to blame for policies that unleashed the pandemic.)

Fighting crime and defending against Communism start at home, with both parents, Hoover said.
"A child above all needs the firm moral backing of a conscientious mother and father and the love, understanding, and security that a good Christian home affords."

A new @ClaremontInst book recalls his "scrappy rise from penniless immigrant to MAGA guru."

Thomas Codevilla recounts how his dad grew up ready to fight the destroyers:

Terrorist groups and movements have their own family trees.
It isn't hard to track them.
Private experts are usually far ahead of national intelligence services.

h/t @realDianaWest. See comment below.
@realDianaWest We've dusted off an unpublished paper I wrote in 2002, marking the first anniversary of 9/11. The paper was a 25-year retrospective on Stefan Possony's "International Terrorism - The Communist Connection," published in 1977. centerforsecuritypolicy.org/wp-content/upl…
@realDianaWest The point of publishing it now is to show, historically, that private analysts can be years ahead of the intelligence community in documenting the linkage of terrorist networks and movements.
It's going to take a lot of private expertise to face the terror threats of today.
🧵 The Trump administration really knows what it's doing to smash violent anarchist and Marxist radicals and to go after their intellectual and financial sponsors.
National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 shows a comprehensive, legally based vision and action plan. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
"This political violence is not a series of isolated incidents and does not emerge organically. Instead, it is a culmination of sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation, radicalization, threats, and violence designed to silence opposing speech, limit political activity, change or direct policy outcomes, and prevent the functioning of a democratic society."
"A new law enforcement strategy that investigates all participants in these criminal and terroristic conspiracies — including the organized structures, networks, entities, organizations, funding sources, and predicate actions behind them — is required."
🧵 The most solid brief yet on the extremist networks in Utah. Law enforcement in other states can learn from this report. So can federal authorities. By my colleague @morganwirthlin at @securefreedom.
Direct action: "In accordance with the concept of “diversity of tactics,” individuals are expected to participate in activities that they are comfortable with and align with their values and priorities, while at the same time refusing to judge, criticize, or even notify authorities about the criminal or violent activities of others."
In horizontal networks, "All participants can act and react instantly without waiting for orders – yet with a clear idea of what to expect from one another,” according to CrimethInc, an anarchist and antifascist site."
The "antifascists" view everything they don't like as fascist.
