Question: Is a company called Shanghai Qingpu Baoshun Craft connected with this forced labor prison? theguardian.com/world/2019/dec…
The prison is circled at left. The company is circled at right. Are company products made at the prison? (Thanks for a friend for this.)
If this New York-based company bought fabric products from the company circled at right in the previous post, would it be importing CCP forced prison products?
So if Elesoft Trade was founded on July 1, 2020 by Guo Wengui’s (Miles Guo’s) company manager Yanping Wang (Yvette Wang), would it be accurate to say that the Guo operation is importing forced prison labor-made products into the United States?

If Senate Republicans don't confirm Matt Gaetz as attorney general & Kash Patel as FBI director, President Trump should sign an executive order to dissolve the FBI by rescinding the July 26, 1908 order that the FBI calls its founding document. Image
The FBI cannot be reformed. We need better, more effective federal law enforcement and counterintelligence than the FBI provides - and one free of the taint of decades of abuses. Only Gaetz & Patel can do that. Here's how the process might look.
Grok, Perplexity, and ChatGPT can't find a law that established the FBI. When you ask ChatGPT for the law, it gives the 1908 attorney general memorandum, saying "the FBI was formed through an executive order rather than a specific law." Image

🧵 Destruction of federal records outside the confines of the Federal Records Act (FRA) is a crime.

That destruction is going on right now.

To report report unauthorized disposition, email UnauthorizedDisposition@nara.gov.

The FRA has not been enforced anywhere in the federal government over the last 16+ years. archives.gov/news/topics/fe…
2) Any federal employee altering or destroying a federal record, prior to meeting its appropriate National Archives & Records Administratin (NARA)-approved retention period, after November 5th should be caught and prosecuted for violating the Federal Records Act. Image
Each agency's Senior Agency Official for Records Management and Agency Records Officers must also be held legally responsible.

Trump47 should remove & replace failed NARA leadership and comprehensively reform the government's records management system.

4 years ago today: @Politico breaks false story of the 51 intelligence and national security former officials saying Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. politico.com/news/2020/10/1…Image
Most of them still won’t comment on what they did. nypost.com/2022/03/18/int…
NY Post contacted many of the Spies Who Lied to get a response. Here's the list, directly quoted from @nypost:

Mike Hayden, former CIA director, now analyst for CNN: Didn’t respond.

Jim Clapper, former director of national intelligence, now CNN pundit: “Yes, I stand by the statement made AT THE TIME, and would call attention to its 5th paragraph. I think sounding such a cautionary note AT THE TIME was appropriate.”

Leon Panetta, former CIA director and defense secretary, now runs a public policy institute at California State University: Declined comment.

John Brennan, former CIA director, now analyst for NBC and MSNBC: Didn’t respond.

Thomas Fingar, former National Intelligence Council chair, now teaches at Stanford University: Didn’t respond.

Doug Wise, former Defense Intelligence Agency deputy director, teaches at University of New Mexico: Didn’t respond.

Nick Rasmussen, former National Counterterrorism Center director, now executive director, Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism: Didn’t respond.

Russ Travers, former National Counterterrorism Center acting director: “The letter explicitly stated that we didn’t know if the emails were genuine, but that we were concerned about Russian disinformation efforts. I spent 25 years as a Soviet/Russian analyst. Given the context of what the Russians were doing at the time (and continue to do — Ukraine being just the latest example), I considered the cautionary warning to be prudent.”

Andy Liepman, former National Counterterrorism Center deputy director: “As far as I know I do [stand by the statement] but I’m kind of busy right now.”

John Moseman, former CIA chief of staff: Didn’t respond.

Larry Pfeiffer, former CIA chief of staff, now senior advisor to The Chertoff Group: Didn’t respond.

Jeremy Bash, former CIA chief of staff, now analyst for NBC and MSNBC: Didn’t respond.

Rodney Snyder, former CIA chief of staff: Didn’t respond.

Glenn Gerstell, former National Security Agency general counsel: Didn’t respond.

Kent Harrington, former national intelligence officer: Didn’t respond.

Don Hepburn, former national security executive, now president of Boanerges Solutions LLC: “My position has not changed any. I believe the Russians made a huge effort to alter the course of the election . . . The Russians are masters of blending truth and fiction and making something feel incredibly real when it’s not. Nothing I have seen really changes my opinion. I can’t tell you what part is real and what part is fake, but the thesis still stands for me, that it was a media influence hit job.”

Timothy D. Kilbourn, former dean of CIA’s Kent School of Intelligence Analysis: Didn’t respond.

Ron Marks, former CIA officer: Didn’t respond.

Jonna Hiestand Mendez, former CIA technical operations officer, now on board of the International Spy Museum: “I don’t have any comment. I would need a little more information.”

Emile Nakhleh, former director of CIA’s Political Islam Strategic Analysis Program, now at University of New Mexico: “I have not seen any information since then that would alter the decision behind signing the letter. That’s all I can go into. The whole issue was highly politicized and I don’t want to deal with that. I still stand by that letter.”

Gerald A. O’Shea, former CIA senior operations officer: Didn’t respond.

Nick Shapiro, former CIA deputy chief of staff and senior adviser to the director: Didn’t respond.

John Sipher, former CIA senior operations officer [and former advisory board member of @ProjectLincoln, which was co-founded by a registered agent of Russia]: Declined to comment.

Stephen Slick, former National Security Council senior director for intelligence programs:
Didn’t respond.

Rep. Higgins: “Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6?”

FBI Director Wray: “I have to be very careful about what I say.”

He did not say “no.”

Wray then re-worded the question and denied it.
After Wray does not answer, @RepClayHiggins said, “It should be a ‘no.’ Can you not tell the American people, ‘No, we did not have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6?’”

One year has past since Higgins last put the simple “yes” or “no” question to FBI Director Wray.

“Still don’t have a definitive answer from you,” Higgins says. “We can’t get a straight answer.”
Wray then re-worded Rep. Higgins’ question to say something Higgins never said, and covered himself by denying his own invented question.

Wray: “If you are asking whether the violence at the Capitol on January 6 was part of domestic violence operation orchestrated by FBI sources and/or agents, the answer is emphatically not. No. Not violence orchestrated by FBI sources or agents.”

Of course, that was not Higgins’ question. Higgins didn’t ask about violence. Wray made up his own straw-man question so he could knock it down.

🧵In 2005, the bipartisan Commission on Election Reform, co-chaired by Jimmy Carter and James A. Baker III, expressed concerns about electronic voting systems.

Since then, the Carter Center & Baker Institute scrubbed their websites of the report. 👉
web.archive.org/web/2005092212…
2) Carter-Baker report, pp. 25-27: Voting machines lack transparency.

“Voting machines must … be transparent. They must allow for recounts and for audits, and thereby giver voters confidence in the accuracy of the vote tallies.”

“The accessibility and accuracy of DREs [direct recording electronic machines], however, are offset by a lack of transparency, which has raised concerns about security and verifiability. In most of the DREs used in 2004, voters could not check that their ballot was recorded correctly. Some DREs had no capacity for an independent recount.”Image
3) Carter-Baker report, p. 27 says there are no standards of transparency for voting machines (and, by implication, software):

"The standards for voting systems ... should assure ... transparency in all voting machines. Because these standards usually guide the decisions of voting machine manufacturers, the manufacturers should be encouraged to build machines in the future that are both accessible and transparent ….”Image

In a 62-page ruling, a federal magistrate judge agrees with @dominionvoting and sacks attorney Stefanie Lambert from defending @PatrickByrne from Dominion.

Case 1:21-cv-02131-CJN-MAU.

The judge is with the squeaky-clean US District Court for the District of Columbia.

What is in the emails being produced in discovery that Dominion wants to keep secret?Image
@dominionvoting @PatrickByrne Download the 62-page PDF of the court decision siding with Dominion to sack Patrick Byrne's attorney, Stefanie Lambert.

I have posted this on my Academia account in the public interest so that people may download it for free. I am not party to this case. academia.edu/122888005/DOMI…
Image
What is in those Dominion emails that is so damning that the company is pulling out all the stops to prevent their disclosure?

Could it have to do with @Smartmatic? Could it be related to election fraud? Did someone at Dominion commit a crime? What do you have to say, @dominionvoting?Image
