The 'New Soros': Marlow Media Expose Reveals Immense Secret Power of Tech Heiress Laurene Powell Jobs
[Breitbart] Laurene Powell Jobs, whom Vox describes as “one of the world’s most important philanthropists,” is the widow of Apple founder and billionaire computer guru Steve Jobs. She has become a secret superpower behind a vast network of left-wing media outlets, organizations, and politicians. Forbes lists Jobs as one of the ten richest women on earth, with a net worth of around $16 billion, mostly from her family stakes in two of the world’s biggest companies: Apple and Disney.

I investigated Jobs’ growing influence in my new book, Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruptions, which exposes the hidden connections between the establishment media and the activist left.

If there’s a well-known persona comparable to Laurene Powell Jobs, it’s Hungarian billionaire George Soros. Soros is branded a “philanthropist,” but he also functions as a one-man piggy bank for the globalist far-left. Much like Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the main vehicle for Jobs’ influence is Emerson Collective (EC), the philanthropic outfit she founded and leads. The Emerson Collective, according to Forbes, is “a hybrid philanthropic and investing limited liability company.” That’s a pretty murky description, which appears to allow them to engage in business and charity without ever being terribly explicit about which is which. I’m not sure which of the two categories it falls under, but EC also happens to own the Atlantic.

#1  The question what keeps bothering me "Don't these people understand that their properties/status maintained by Pax Americana? Under Pax Sinica their properties will simply be confiscated."

#2  They can point to Prince Sihanouk. He moved to China and wrung his hands through the whole rule of the Khmer Rouge (which was bankrolled by China) about how he couldn't do anything because of the Rogue Terrorists then moved back and resumed his status and property (although not as ruler, just as owner) and talked about how the KR were really backed by America... So there's some countries where the whole thing worked.

Fifth Column
Do you support Isra Hirsi’s call for a communist insurrection and revolution in the United States?
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Isra Hirsi is the 18 year old daughter of Somali-American Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and her first/third husband. Ms Hirsi has been an activist since the age of twelve, and in 2019 co-founded the American arm of the global climate change youth movement, which she cleverly calls the U.S. Youth Climate Strike. For this she has won a number of awards and was named to the Forbes and BET people to watch under-40 lists, which no doubt helped her get into the college of her choice, and possibly some scholarships — necessary after her mother paid millions to her mom’s new white husband’s consulting company. The young lady might play at being a communist, but the money that supports her comes from very capitalist pockets — much like Karl Marx’s situation, in fact.

Arizona secretary of state threatens to decertify equipment examined by 2020 election auditors
[Washington Examiner] Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs told officials in Maricopa County that she would consider decertifying election equipment subpoenaed as part of the Senate-commissioned 2020 election audit if the county moves to reuse the equipment in future elections.

Hobbs, a Democrat, wrote in a Thursday letter to members of the county’s Board of Supervisors that she has "grave concerns" over the integrity of voting systems that Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based firm which has been conducting the audit on behalf of the Republican-led Arizona Senate, has been examining.

"If the County intends to re-deploy the subpoenaed equipment, over which the County lost custody and control, for use in future Arizona elections, please notify my Office as soon as possible ... so that we may properly consider decertification proceedings pursuant to A.R.S. § 16-442 as to the subpoenaed equipment," Hobbs wrote.

#2  She's implying the Auditors have "potentially" screwed up the equipment. Nobody that wants transparency would fight the audit so hard

#3  It's the vendor that needs to be decertified on a planetary basis.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 05/21/2021 8:26 Comments || Top||

#4  In a warped way, it's kind of impressive the extraordinary lengths the Dems are going to in order to stop the audit, muck it up as best they can and / or make it a complete three-ring circus.

Former FBI director Louis Freeh gave $100,000 to a private trust for Joe Biden's grandchildren
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] DailyMail.com can reveal former FBI director Louis Freeh gave $100,000 to a private trust for Joe The Big Guy Biden
    ...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run....
    's grandchildren

  • Freeh spoke with the then-Vice President in 2016 'to explore with him some future work options', emails from Hunter's laptop reveal

  • The bombshell communications from July 2016 raise the question: Was Joe Biden discussing future private business deals while still in office

  • In an email marked 'confidential and privileged', Freeh wrote to Hunter that he 'would be delighted to do future work with you'

  • Emails show that at the time Freeh was working for three men who were later found to be corrupt foreign criminals.

  • Freeh was not involved in their corruption offenses or implicated in the charges against them

  • Freeh, who served as FBI director under Bill Clinton and George Bush, ran a consultancy firm with highly controversial clients

  • His clients included the now-jailed Malaysian prime minister who stole billions of dollars from his country and a Romanian real estate tycoon convicted of bribery

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren's husband taken into custody amid 'criminal investigation'
[NYPOST] Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren’s husband is in jug after state troopers executed a search warrant at her home.

Warren’s husband, Timothy Granison, was the subject of the criminal investigation, and was detained by law enforcement, according to the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Troopers executed a search warrant at the Democrat’s house as part of an "ongoing criminal investigation," New York State Police said in a brief blurb.

Judge Blocks Biden Administration From Doling Out Grants Based on Race, Gender
[Epoch Times] A federal judge in Texas this week blocked the Biden administration from prioritizing grants in a COVID-19 restaurant relief program by their race or gender.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor, a George W. Bush nominee, said he believes plaintiff Philip Greer, a cafe owner, is likely to succeed in his lawsuit against the Small Business Association (SBA) as he granted a request for a temporary restraining order (TRO).

The Federal Government job is to ensure an EQUAL Playing field, not set up 2 or 3 playing fields based on Color or Race and show preference to 1 over the other for Vote Buying.

The Socialist Democrat Party has surpassed its own stupidity. Given over 65% of its voters are White, and the SD's are trying shame the core of its voters into accepting their Socialist Agenda.

People of the same color feel the same way and have the same beliefs
Chicago is 29 percent black, 33 percent non-Hispanic white, 18 percent white Hispanic, 9 percent other Hispanic, and 7 percent Asian. Since differences between white Hispanic and non-Hispanic are artificial, that makes a white population of 51 percent. Add in Asian, which performs whiter than white (and is hated by the black segment, as we've seen lately) and you've got a solid 58 percent. Heronner da Mare sez people of the same color share the same beliefs -- I don't think you're allowed to argue that point, not even among folk of identical hue -- that means Chi should be solidly white.

I once spent a week in the Caymans, an experience I highly recommend. The population is 20 percent white, 20 percent black, and 40 percent mixed, the remainder made up of expats who don't count, regardless of color. The Caymans has no history of slavery. Its tradition is fishing and (arrr!) pirates. Cayman Islanders of all flavors, from what I saw, like each other a lot more than Americans like each other.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Why Lebanon is headed for more fragility
[ARABNEWS] The Middle East is a region where one can never say that things cannot get worse, simply because they always can and will.

As the region was already overloaded with dangerous geopolitical files and disastrous humanitarian conditions, things indeed got worse and the international community’s attention has now shifted again and focused mainly on the terrible situation in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
This spells bad news for Leb
