JOJO BIDEN'S CHINESE PAYMASTERS OPERATING IN BIDEN'S OPEN BORDERS - Geoff Lewis: With TikTok, China Controlling One of the Most Powerful Algorithms Influencing the U.S.

 

Geoff Lewis: With TikTok, China Controlling One of the Most Powerful Algorithms Influencing the U.S.

Bedrock Capital founder Geoff Lewis said Thursday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that the United States was letting China control one of the most powerful algorithms influencing the country by not banning TikTok.

Lewis said, “I would love for there to be a TikTok ban. I think back to August 202o when President Trump executive order to ban TikTok.”

He continued, “I support a TikTok ban or divestment. I think we have a very significant, somewhat narrow issue where we basically have a foreign government controlling one of the most powerful algorithms influencing the U.S. here. I worry the practicalities of the divestment, the six-month period of this proposed bill offers up, there’s a possibility the design might be designed to fail. If it fails its chief objective I worry about the knock-on effects for freedom of speech on society here. Yes I’m in favor of banning TikTok, yes, obviously. Anyone who’s not in favor of TikTok might themselves be a foreign adversary or a foreign agent.”

Lewis added, “It’s clear that Chinese social control, CCP control, social media company, having this much influence, this much access to the data, on like, 150 plus Americans is really dangerous. We have been talking about doing something about this for years. We should have done four years ago.”

Noem: China’s ‘Number One

Desire’ Is to Destroy America —

‘We Should Be Alarmed’ by Their

 \]Influence

During an appearance on Fox News Channel, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) discussed the threat posed by TikTok and Chinese land ownership.

Noem said China’s objective was to “destroy” the United States, noting their presence not only in Big Tech but in land ownership around the country, as well.

Comments as follows:

NOEM: Well, first of all, Sean, that tweet and that TikTok message that was left at the senator’s voicemail is exactly the kind of actions you can expect when TikTok is involved. So, that is owned by the Chinese communist party. Their number one desire is to destroy America. So that is why we should be alarmed at the amount of influence that they have in this country.

They unleashed a pandemic and a virus on the world at the exact same time they released TikTok to make it proliferate and go out there and influence our youth and people to make them think that threats like that are funny. So that is absolutely insanity that those kinds of things were happening and that TikTok was doing that, but that’s what we can expect from China.

This marks my 30th year that I have been working on policy, egg policy. I’m a lifelong farmer and rancher. I’ve watched China come in and buy up our fertilizer companies, they bought up our crop care companies like our chemical companies. They bought our — stole our genetics, they’ve bought up our processing facilities, now they’re coming after our land.

And when they do that, Sean, they will control our food supply. And the country that can’t feed ourselves, we are no longer in control of our destiny. So if we think a pandemic was scary, imagine what happens when they control our food.

We’re only three meals away from a crisis in this country. People will break down and panic if they can’t put food on the table and there’s nothing at the grocery store for their families.

So wake up, America. China’s not just doing one thing, they’re doing different things, and they’re spying on our military installations, building up their military, manipulating their currency, stealing our intellectual property. We had spies in South Dakota this summer. They were spies that came into our state, that wanted to tour our facilities and steal our genetics and acted like they were good actors and just days later the State Department called us and said, did you meet with these people because they were spies and they were there to steal all of your information and your company’s private information.

And if you did meet with them, then we need to debrief you and thankfully we had refused all their meetings. But that’s what they’re doing, and it’s from every angle, and they’re crossing the southern border on purpose because their government is sending them here to spy on us. So I’m — I’m alarmed that the American people haven’t woken up to this yet.

I mean, be a little inconvenienced and give up TikTok for God’s sake. I mean, they literally are using it to change our minds and to manipulate our thoughts and our ideals and our values. And our country is too important for that.

THE MUSLIM CULT OF DEATH IN AMERICA - Michigan Imam: We Muslims Will Yet ‘Slaughter’ the Jews ‘Like Sheep’

 

Michigan Imam: We Muslims Will Yet ‘Slaughter’ the Jews ‘Like Sheep’

Muslims will yet “slaughter” the Jews “like sheep” when the opportunity arises, according to a Michigan Islamic cleric who appealed to Allah, seeking to become “soldiers” for Islam in any form desired, including death.

In a sermon at the Islamic Center of Warren, Michigan, in January, Imam Abdou Zindani warned of the fate of Jews everywhere, pointing to a Palestinian businessman who told a Jewish New Yorker what Muslims have in store for the Jews. 

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, Jewish man,” he said. “One day will come, and we will slaughter you like a sheep and the stone and the tree will work… undercover for us, [saying:] ‘Hey Muslim, come, there is somebody hiding here, get up and kill him.’”

The Sheikh was apparently referencing a grisly passage in the Islamic text, known as the Hadith, that reads as follows: “Judgement Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews. The Jews will hide behind the stones and the trees, and the stones and the trees will say, oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew hiding behind me — come and kill him.” The same excerpt is cited in the Hamas terror group’s charter.

He later made an emotional appeal to Allah, begging that Muslims be made his “soldiers.” 

“Every way you want us to be — with the tank, with the eye, with the money, with the hand, make us soldiers for Islam,” he said. “Make us die the way you want us to die.”

The clip, which was originally streamed live on the mosque’s YouTube channel, has gone viral in recent days, with many expressing outrage over the radical rhetoric being espoused on American soil.

“They are here. Islamists are in the US. They are preaching Islamic supremacy, terrorism and the destruction of our culture,” warned one X user. “Is the FBI on the job? Do you care about uncontrolled, illegal immigration? How long will people wait?” 

“It’s getting late,” he added.

“Sort of says something that Democrats are tripping over themselves to capture these votes, doesn’t it?” asked another user.

“This is the constituency that Biden is trying to placate with his Gaza policy,” one user remarked.

“When they come for you, remind them that you were one of the ‘good Jews’ who protested for Palestine. Maybe they’ll kill you more quickly,” another quipped.

Dear American Jews, This is exactly what the radical Islamists said to us Jews of Iran in 1979 when Khoemeni came to power — and they did begin executing prominent Jews in Iran. Why do you think we all left Iran?” wrote another user, adding, “WAKE UP and stop this genocidal evil before it’s too late!”

The Michigan-based Zindani, who spoke at the 2023 interfaith Thanksgiving service by Detroit’s InterFaith Leadership Council, is a preacher at the Islamic Center of Warren, Michigan — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with all contributions tax deductible.

The matter comes as Arab American voters in various states have expressed intent to “punish” President Joe Biden in elections due to his stance on Israel and the Gaza conflict.

In Michigan, where the president’s loss would likely doom his reelection campaign, more than 100,000 Democrats chose “uncommitted” over Biden in the primary, indicating significant dissatisfaction within his own party.

Muslims Make up Nearly Fifth of All Prisoners in Britain, Govt Figures Show

Muslims make up nearly a fifth of all prisoners in England and Wales as of September of last year, with 15,594 inmates belonging to the Islamic faith, government data has revealed.

While Muslims only make up around 6.5 per cent of the British population overall, they account for around 18 per cent of the prison population according to data from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), The Telegraph reports.

In comparison, Christians made up the largest religious group in prisons at 45 per cent, however, according to the 2021 Census, Christians represented 46 per cent of the population of England and Wales, meaning that as a group, people who profess to be Christian are incarcerated broadly proportionately.

Meanwhile, those who were not affiliated with any religious group comprised 31 per cent of the prison population, compared to 37 per cent of the population as a whole.

The Ministry of Justice figures also revealed that white people made up a disproportionate number of Muslim inmates, with 19.9 per cent of Islamic prisoners, or 3,096, being recorded as white. This is compared to white people making up just 7.8 per cent of the Muslim community in the UK.

This comes in contrast to 35 per cent (5,489) of Muslim prisoners being recorded as being “Asian or Asian British” and 27 per cent (4,212) were recorded as “Black or Black British”, while the remainder were either unrecorded or were of mixed background.

The strikingly high percentage of white Muslims within the prison population has been attributed by some as a result of conversions out of fear, with Muslims representing a powerful force within many British prisons.

Former Prison Governor Ian Acheson, who conducted a review of Islamist extremism in prisons for the MoJ, said: “There’s strong evidence that people convert as a pragmatic response to who controls power and space in our prisons.

“This seems to be the case in high-security prisons, in particular, where safety is at a premium and there are also large numbers of violent young men entering custody searching for meaning and belonging. So Islam in this case has gang characteristics”.

Acheson said that while authentic conversions could not be ruled out, he said it was important for frontline prison staff to not act out of fear of being accused of racism or direct intimidation tactics by prison gangs.

Another review into Islam in prisons, by government advisor Colin Bloom found last year that “failure to identify as a Muslim meant that at best the new prisoner would be denied ‘protection’ from the dominant Muslim gang on that wing, or at worst the new prisoner would be subjected to violence and intimidation from that same gang”.

A Ministry of Justice spokesman denied that the disproportionate white Muslim population was a result of forced conversions, saying: “Attributing these figures to the influence of Muslim gangs would be misleading and based on wholly anecdotal evidence. Forced religious conversions are not tolerated in prisons.”

Far-Left Activist Shaun King Converts to Islam as Ramadan Starts: ‘My Heart Is with My Dearest Friends in Gaza’

Left-wing activist and former Black Lives Matter lobbyist Shaun King chose the first night of Ramadan to publicly reveal his embrace of Islam, with supporters exclaiming “Allahu Akbar” at the news.

On his Telegram account, King shared a video of himself and his wife reciting the Shahada, the Islamic creed that “there is only God and that Muhammad is his final messenger.” The caption on the video contained a message that he will be fasting in solidarity with “my dearest friends in Gaza”:

Good evening everyone in America and good morning to the rest of the world.

My wife and I just got home from evening prayers at our home mosque in Dallas, Texas.

Together, we took Shahada and converted to Islam to start off Ramadan. It was a beautiful, powerful, meaningful day for us that we will never forget.

I will be praying for you and I ask that you please continue praying for us.

We will begin fasting in the morning with over 1 billion Muslims around the world.

My heart is with my dearest friends in Gaza and I’m proud that we were able to provide meals tonight to thousands and thousands of families from the North to the South in Gaza and will do so every day of Ramadan.

I will be sharing much more with you tomorrow.

Love you all,

Shaun

The founder and director of the Legacy Institute Hasib Noor posted on X/Twitter: “One of the best news I’ve heard for Ramadan is BROTHER @shaunking accepted Islam. What an amazing man. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY Allahu Akbar!”

Others were quick to follow in applauding his conversion.

King self-identifies as black and was previously a Christian pastor. His career has long been plagued by allegations of financial misconduct, with major fundraising efforts failing to produce promised results. That pattern and a string of deceptive media hoaxes have made his name a punchline, ostracized from the Black Lives Matter movement.

Recently, he has worked to debunk reports of Hamas raping women in Israel during the October 7 Nir Oz terror attack.

In 2020 he sparked controversy when he declared all statues of Jesus that portray him as a “white European” should be torn down because they are “a form of white supremacy,” as Breitbart News reported.

“Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down,” wrote King, a then self-described black man whose family says he is white.

“They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been. In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went? EGYPT! Not Denmark. Tear them down.”

Since 2015, King has claimed the Christian celebrations of Christmas and Easter are “tools of white supremacy.”

He was ejected from the Black Lives Matter movement by its leaders in December 2015 over questions about the “integrity” of activist fundraising.

King later received a scholarship from Oprah Winfrey to attend Morehouse College, a historically black school, and then denied lying about his race when he applied for the grant.


Global Female Genital Mutilation Cases Soar to 230+ Million

Cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) top 230 million worldwide and show no sign of slowing down, UNICEF said in a report released Friday, citing a dramatic increase of 15 percent since 2016 with most cases being reported in Africa.

FGM can include partial or total removal of the clitoris as well as the labia minora, and suturing of the vaginal opening to narrow it, in the incorrect belief the cut can control women’s sexuality and make them more likely to be obedient to religious and social restrictions.

The practice has been known to cause fatal bleeding or infections, and can also have long-term consequences such as fertility problems, childbirth complications, stillbirth and painful sexual intercourse, AFP reports.

“It is indeed bad news. This is a huge number, a number that is bigger than ever before,” said Claudia Coppa, lead author of the report released to coincide with International Women’s Day.

The AFP report sets out Africa is home to the most number of FGM cases with more than 144 million, ahead of Asia (80 million) and the Middle East (six million), according to the survey of 31 countries where the practice is common.

“We’re also seeing a worrying trend that more girls are subjected to the practice at younger ages, many before their fifth birthday,” UNICEF chief Catherine Russell said in a statement.

“That further reduces the window to intervene. We need to strengthen the efforts of ending this harmful practice.”

The report also showed that four in every 10 survivors live in conflict-torn countries with high population growth rates, claiming political instability disrupts efforts prevent the practice and provide support to victims.

“Ethiopia, Nigeria and Sudan account for the largest numbers of girls and women who have undergone female genital mutilation in conflict-affected countries,” the report said.

FGM is usually carried out on young girls between infancy and the age of 15, most commonly before puberty starts.

In 2012 the U.N. passed a resolution to ban it but for the most part the globalist organization has been ignored.

 IRANIAN WOMAN WHIPPED 74 TIMES FOR REFUSING TO WEAR HIJAB

Iranian woman whipped 74 times for refusing to wear hijabNGSDENY ALLACCEPT ALL

Roya Heshmati, 33, was told she was being punished because she had violated public morals

An Iranian woman received 74 lashes for refusing to wear the hijab, defying the strict dress code even as she was taken to be whipped.

Roya Heshmati, 33, was charged with “encouraging permissiveness” after appearing unveiled on several occasions in the capital, Tehran.

“Her penalty of 74 strokes of the lash was carried out in accordance with the law and with sharia,” and “for violating public morals,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website said late on Saturday.

Ms Heshmati was also reportedly ordered to pay a fine of 12 million rials (£225).

“The convicted … encouraged permissiveness [by appearing] disgracefully in busy public places in Tehran,” Mizan reported.

All women in Iran have been required by law to cover their neck and head since shortly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Whippings for breaching the dress code are uncommon, although officials have increasingly cracked down on those defying the rules after the practice surged during anti-government protests that began in late 2022.

The mass demonstrations were triggered by the September 2022 death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd arrested for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women.

During the protests, female demonstrators cast off their headscarves or even burned them.

Other women also increasingly began to flout the dress code, leading to the crackdown.

Ms Heshmati was identified as being of Kurdish origins by Hengaw, a Kurdish-focused rights group.

“As the lashes struck my body, I whispered, ‘In the name of woman, in the name of life, dawn will come,’” BBC Persian quoted her as saying, adding she had refused to cover her hair even as she was transported to be flogged.

She was arrested in April “for publishing a photo on social media without wearing a headscarf”, her lawyer Maziar Tatai told the reformist Shargh daily.

Ms Heshmati was also charged with “not wearing the Muslim veil in public”, he added.

Officials have installed surveillance cameras in public places to monitor violations of the hijab law and have shut businesses that breached the rules.

Iran’s parliament has also discussed a bill that would toughen penalties for those breaching the dress code.
