I am here on the 102nd floor of one World Trade Center for the “First anniversary Celebration of the New Federal State of China, Guo Wengui/Miles Kwok’s and Steve Bannon’s anti CCP org. Themes: China created Covid in a lab; China hacked voting machines to rig the election.
Mike Lindell is confident the Supreme Court will rule 9-0 by August to “pull this election down.” Trump “is gonna be back in by the end of August,” Lindell says.
Giuliani confers with Bannon and Lindell.
Bannon, in black tie attire, asks Lindell if the election hacking Lindell just “proved” China did was “an act of war.” It was, Lindell says. Then Bannon leads a “take down the CCP” chant.
Dr. Yang Li-Meng, who argues China created Covid as a bioweapon, thanking supporters. She also said: “No vaccine has worked. We need a safe vaccine and the vaccine cannot overcome biowarfare.” Vaccine skepticism is also a theme here.
Giuliani says the pandemic should be called the “Fauci pandemic.”
Giuliani calls other people, Cuomo,
Whither, Newspm, authoritarians here.
The theme of Rudy’s speech is that the CCP is behind Covid, Black Lives Matter and many other things he thinks are bad. “This is a Chinese Party conspiracy to erode and destroy their only real rival in the world.”
Peter Navarro is live on video, still attacking Dr. Fauci. Says Fuaci had committed unspecified “crimes.”

Remember when Trump abruptly caved to Erdogan and said it was fine for Turkey to invade Syria? Seems a bit forgotten, maybe because Trump pressing DOJ not to charge a Turkish bank for helping Iran evade US sanctions was more corrupt. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
This is from a series we have on somewhat overlooked Trump misdeeds. I also wrote about how Trump very much did try to prosecute Hillary and other political foes while in office. So we should believe his pledges to use DOJ to target critics if he wins. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
I updated my story about Ya Li, or "Mulan," the high-level Guo Wengui assistant who testified against him last week, to note that Li, at Guo's behest, played a role in disseminating sexually explicit from Hunter Biden's laptop. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
This is the effort led by Bannon in which Guo operatives, including Li, spread Hunter Biden dick pics and sex videos. At Guo's behest, some of his followers also falsely claimed the laptop included images of Hunter having sex with underage Chinese girls. motherjones.com/politics/2022/…
Guo and an underling named Wang Dinggang, known as "Lude," used real material to push false claims that Hunter had sex with minors and that China used the material to blackmail JOE Biden. That was a fairly successful bid to spread false rumors by mixing them with legit material.
Here’s a long mag story I wrote explaining Guo’s movement. I think it broke ground outlining how his supposed anti-CCP stance and various kooky conspiracy theories led to his allegedly defrauding his backers, ie how Guo monetized “Take down the CCP.” motherjones.com/politics/2022/…
Trump aide Jason Miller, when he was Gettr CEO, said Guo didn’t run it. Audio messages we got belied that. motherjones.com/politics/2022/…
People may recall the mysterious fire that started in the luxury penthouse of Chinese fugitive mogul and Bannon patron Guo Wengui last year hours after his arrest for fraud. Today, just before his trial starts, feds revealed new evidence about the fire. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
Feds describe how an unnamed person who lives with Guo (they don't say if it's his wife) got permission to go into a bedroom just after Guo's arrest. FDNY/ATF investigation, previously undisclosed, found the fire started in a closet "next to" the bedroom. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
Prosecutors also cite Guo's many calls, in the months before his arrest, for a "flame revolution." He literally called for arson, albeit against, seemingly, the CCP. I reported on this last year. motherjones.com/politics/2023/…
Yvette Wang, the former chief of staff for Miles Guo and his codefendant in a sweeping fraud case, is changing her plea to guilty ahead of their trial, scheduled to start in three weeks.
New legal problem for Bannon as feds call him a "co-conspirator" in a massive federal fraud case. (Not the one he's already indicted in.) motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
Buried in a recent government filing ahead of Guo Wengui's upcoming fraud trial, is this bad news for Bannon. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
Despite the "co-conspirator" label, Bannon, who already faces fraud charges in NY and a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress waiting on his appeal, is probably not gonna be indicted soon in the Guo case. Feds are naming him to get evidence included at next month's trial.
