    “UK’s NHS Scrubs Terrifying Ad Showing Santa Near Death From COVID-19

    “Someone thought this was a good idea. Guaranteed to scare the hell out of little ones if they watch it. “”

    “Here is the UK Daily Mail’s initial report, in which its intrepid reporter described the ad as…touching:

    It’s the stuff of nightmares for children, as Father Christmas is rushed into hospital and nursed back to health in an emotional new appeal advert from NHS Charities Together.

    The touching film, entitled The Gift, which celebrates NHS staff and volunteers, features a dramatic opening, with a very poorly Santa wheeled into a medical ward by paramedics and given oxygen.

    It appears to be touch and go, with machines beeping and staff in full PPE as they do their best to resuscitate the elderly gentleman.

    The NHS Charities Together removed the video from YouTube over the weekend:

    In a statement, NHS Charities Together apologized to kids who had seen the ad, but also said that it “isn’t aimed at children and hasn’t been shown on TV.” The charity said it had at first received positive feedback, but chatter on social media quickly turned sour.

    “We worked closely with the team behind the ad to make sure it was produced responsibly and it was cleared for use by the relevant regulatory authority. However, we are sorry to the parents of any young children who have been upset by watching the ad and to the young children themselves, they were not the intended audience for it,” the charity said in a statement on Saturday.”

    Maybe our intelligence agencies should spend more time doing their jobs and less time trying to overthrow the president. All this occurred under their watch.

    “For Pete’s Sake, How Many CCP Spies Are We Stuck With?”

    “By this point, most of you are likely familiar with Chinese Communist Party spy Cristine Fang, a.k.a. “Fang Fang” and her lengthy relationship with California Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell. The fact that someone on the Intelligence Committee had a spy in their midst for that long is disturbing enough. But some commentary this week from Miranda Devine at the New York Post paints an even more dreary picture. A recently leaked database containing the identities of nearly two million registered members of the CCP has turned up many names that work for or are closely affiliated with American corporations and educational institutions. Granted, it’s not a given that any or all of them are technically full-time spies working covertly, but given the nature of the CCP and the requirements for membership, there’s plenty of cause for alarm.

    Boeing, Qualcomm and Pfizer are just three US companies that have employed dozens of CCP members in their Chinese facilities, the database reveals.

    As well, three female employees of the US consulate in Shanghai have been identified in the list of 1.95 million party members that was leaked to an international group of legislators, the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, which includes Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ)…

    Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), a member of the Homeland Security Committee, said yesterday: “CCP agents have no place in US government facilities, and this report should serve as a much-needed wake-up call to Washington, DC, and corporate executives, who continue to welcome the Chinese government with open arms.

    As Devine points out, everyone who becomes a member of the CCP has to swear an oath which includes promises to “fight for communism throughout my life, be ready at all times to sacrifice my all for the party and the people, and never betray the party [and] guard party secrets, be loyal to the party.” And yet, executives from some of the companies employing these CCP members seem pretty passive about their employees. Most, but not all of the people identified from the database work at overseas locations of these companies. How hard would it be to take American technological secrets out the door at the end of the day?”

    Yeah, no need to spy. All they had to do was wait, Biden will just give it to them.

    “A forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems machines and software in Michigan showed that they were designed to create fraud and influence election results, a data firm said Monday.

    “We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results,” Russell Ramsland Jr., co-founder of Allied Security Operations Group, said in a preliminary report.

    “The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified,” he added.”

  6. A good article published recently in the Tennessee Star about Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, his connections to the Chinese, and the awarding of a contract to Dominion for use in Georgia.

    The Chinese embassy site in Houston mentioned in this article is important – the US Govt had it shut down because it was a hot bed for Chinese spying on the USA… so, why did Gov. Kemp go there in the first place?

    “Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church received $4.4M COVID-19 PPP loan”

    “Multimillionaire televangelist Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Texas netted $4.4 million in bailouts through the federal COVID-19 relief program, records show.

    The Houston megachurch, the largest in the nation with 52,000 weekly congregants, received the forgivable Paycheck Protection Program loan in late July, the Houston Business Journal reported on Sunday.

    The loan was the third highest in the Houston-area during all of July and August, the outlet noted, citing federal data.

    Lakewood’s PPP check went to 368 full- and part-time employees, its spokesman David Iloff told the Houston Business Journal.

    He said in-person services that were suspended from March 15 through Oct. 18, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, impacted “its ability to collect substantial donations during those services.”

    “Believing the shutdown would only last a few weeks, Lakewood did not initially apply for PPP assistance during the first half of the program,” Iloff said in a statement. “However, as the shutdown persisted month after month, given the economic uncertainty, Lakewood finally applied for the PPP loan and has been able to provide full salaries and benefits including health insurance coverage to all of its employees and their families.”

    He added, “It is important to note that, since 2004, Pastors Joel and Victoria Osteen have not received salaries from Lakewood Church, and the PPP funds do not provide any personal financial benefit to them, whatsoever.”

    Osteen — whose sermons are seen around the world — is worth an estimated $100 million. He took the helm of Lakewood Church following the death of his founding pastor dad John Osteen in 1999.”

  9. Tychichus, Roscuro posted this on the daily thread. I’m not sure if you even read over there, so you might not see it:

    “A [note] of caution: I have been noticing on comment boards on World magazine articles that a lot of people are linking to articles by the Epoch Times to support their assertions. A copy of the Epoch Times recently appeared in our mailbox, unsolicited. It is not a trustworthy publication. It is published by the Falun Gong, a cult that originated in China as part of the qiqong movement. The practices of the Falun Gong seek assimilation into the supreme nature of the universe. The Falun Gong has been persecuted by the Communist party in China, which has given it sympathy in the West, but it should not be mistaken for a benign or trustworthy organization simply because China has persecuted it. It is a cult whose false gospel preaches another way of salvation. When I was in the city, I encountered a group at a bus stop – the same location where I also have encountered Mormon missionaries – that was actively handing out ‘evangelical’ literature from the Falun Gong, so they are actively seeking to proselytize. The Epoch Times should be viewed with as much skepticism as The Watchtower publication of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.”
