Declassified! The Russia informant transcript the FBI didn’t want Americans to see

Four days before the FBI secured a surveillance warrant against him in fall 2016, Trump campaign adviser Carter Page repeatedly knocked down the key allegations at the heart of the Russia collusion investigation while talking to a government informant who was wearing a wire.

Page’s unwitting statements of innocence to informer Stefan Halper were never shared with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court before it approved four warrants authorizing a full year of surveillance of Page’s communications.

Poland Urges U.S. to Regulate Big Tech, ‘Every Citizen Must Be Protected’ from Censorship

Polish lawmaker Sebastian Kaleta said it was “disturbing” that “Christian or patriotic content” was increasingly being branded as “hate speech” by the Big Tech firms which dominate social media, and that the public discourse should not be controlled by “anonymous moderators”.

Angela Merkel’s successor blamed US for funding ISIS

JOE BIDEN looks tipped to battle it out with German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s successor who pushed a US-ISIS conspiracy theory.

…Mrs Merkel may not have much say in how the US-Germany relationship pans out, as she was last week replaced as leader of Germany’s Christian Democrats (CDU) by centrist Armin Laschet.

Many now note that while it is difficult to predict how Mr Laschet will engage with Mr Biden, looking back on the German politician’s previous rhetoric might offer some clue as to how their relationship will develop, and potentially collide.

…Mr Laschet, who was then MP for North Rhine-Westphalia, replied: “Yes, Mr Kerry, but You supported ISIS and Al Nusra against President Assad in Syria.

“And they are financed by Qatar and Saudi-Arabia.”

He added: “Assad was fighting against ISIS and Kerry tried to weaken Assad in this fight.”

Mr Laschet’s line has been described as a “conspiracy theory” which pushes an element of legitimacy onto the country’s President – who has been described as a dictator – Bashar al-Assad.

He went on to claim that many of the victims of the Syrian war were “killed by rebels and al Nusra terrorists”, and not overwhelmingly by Assad and his forces.

Suspected RCMP secrecy breach fallout upgraded to ‘severe’: newly released documents

OTTAWA — New documents show Canada’s cyberspy agency was so alarmed by the potential fallout from an alleged secrecy breach by a senior RCMP employee that it revised a damage assessment to “severe” from “high” in the days after his arrest.

Cameron Jay Ortis was taken into custody in September 2019 for allegedly revealing secrets to an unnamed recipient and planning to give additional classified information to an unspecified foreign entity.

GOLDSTEIN: Big spending hasn’t helped Indigenous Canadians, says new report

Billions of dollars in increased federal government spending has failed to improve the standard of living for Indigenous Canadians, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.

Despite a four-fold increase in spending between 1981 and 2016, the gap between Indigenous Canadians and other Canadians based on the Community Well-Being Index, which uses census data to measure income, employment, housing and formal education every five years, has barely budged in 35 years

Wuhan doctor: China authorities stopped me sounding alarm on Covid

Wuhan doctor: China authorities stopped me sounding alarm on Covid

A doctor from the Wuhan hospital hit hardest by the Covid-19 epidemic has said he and colleagues suspected the virus was highly transmissible in early January last year, weeks before Chinese authorities admitted it, but were prevented from warning anyone.

The doctor’s testimony – in a new BBC documentary on the 54 days between the first known case of coronavirus and the Wuhan lockdown – adds to mounting evidence of Beijing’s early attempts to cover up the virus outbreak, and intimidate healthworkers into staying quiet.

Six Questions About Masks Our Overlords Refuse to Answer

As the first few days of Joe Biden’s “100 days of mass mask-wearing” go by, I have no doubt you are seeing lots more mask-wearing than you did prior to January 20, right? Maybe you’re seeing people with two masks instead of the now-outdated one. Hopefully, you are seeing more masks in personal vehicles, in private homes, on hiking trails, in parks, and in all the other places and situations where people may have been lax before. Masks worn by joggers, gym-goers, and even children playing team sports should be the norm, probably forever. Universal, constant mask-wearing, after all, is the most effective way to curb the spread of the LITERAL PLAGUE, and that’s pretty much all you peasants need to know …

Schumer Says Impeachment Trial Is Necessary To Bring Healing

“Everyone wants to put this awful chapter in American history behind us. But sweeping it under the rug will not bring healing. The only way to bring healing is to actually have real accountability, which this trial affords,” Schumer said in a video The Hill tweeted.
