FBI informant who lied about Biden 'bribes' pleads guilty

A former informant has pleaded guilty to lying to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about a fake bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Alexander Smirnov, 44, also admitted tax evasion after not reporting more than $2m (£1.58m) in income.

His claims became the basis of an impeachment investigation in Congress which centred around the false claims that the Bidens made millions in bribes from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.

But Smirnov admitted he made the story up, and pleaded guilty in Los Angeles on Monday as part of an agreement with prosecutors.

Disappearing Genocide: BBC ‘Balance’ Between Perpetrator Israel And Palestinian Victims After Damning Amnesty Report

Media Lens

(...) By contrast, last week’s devastating Amnesty International report stating that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, detailed in a carefully-documented 296-page report, received only token ‘mainstream’ media coverage. (...)

In a sane world, such a powerful indictment by the world’s most prestigious human rights organisation would receive intensive, widespread and continuing news coverage and commentary. (...)

In the real world, when they covered the report at all, ‘mainstream’ news reports gave ample room to Israel’s crazed denunciations of Amnesty as a ‘deplorable and fanatical organisation’ that had issued a report that was ‘entirely false and based on lies’. (...)

Israeli Holocaust Scholar Says This IS Genocide
Finally, consider the recent powerful statement by Amos Goldberg, an Israeli Professor of Holocaust Studies at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem:

‘For nearly 30 years I have researched and taught the Holocaust, genocide and state violence.

‘And I want to tell whoever is willing to listen that what’s happening now in Gaza is a genocide.’ (...)

Buried Out Of Sight: Deliberate Israeli Targeting Of Palestinian Children Becomes ‘Local News’ On The BBC

Media Lens

(...)The horrific testimony of a British surgeon who had operated on children in Gaza targeted by Israeli drones after Israeli bombing attacks– something that happened ‘day after day after day’ – has been largely blanked. (...)

.

‘Drones would come down and pick off civilians, children. This is not an occasional thing. This was day after day after day operating on children who would say, “I was lying on the ground after a bomb dropped and this quadcopter [a small, remotely-piloted helicopter drone] came down and hovered over me and shot me”.’

Prof Mamode told MPs he saw children with sniper injuries to the head. He also noted that the pellets fired by most drones were more destructive than bullets which would go straight through a victim’s body. Instead, the pellets would bounce around inside bodies, creating much more extensive damage. (...)

Israeli forces ‘systematically target healthcare facilities’. (...)

So freaking sick of these propaganda and protection of Israelis, even when they are outside their country and commit crime

Do they have a special protective status that prevents media to call them for who they are?

Any other team's supporters shouted such disgusting racist chants and attacked the host nation before and after a match would have been subject to punishment and sanctions by UEFA and FIFA.

But these assholes are excemt from the norms.

Jimi Hendrix is pulled off the air on Lulu's show in 1969

After a blistering performance of Voodoo Chile, on the Happening for Lulu show in January 1969, The Jimi Hendrix Experience stop midway through a half-hearted attempt at their first hit Hey Joe. The trio break into Cream's Sunshine of Your Love, in tribute to the recently disbanded group, until producers bring the song to a premature end.

According to the memoir of bassist Noel Redding, Lulu had been due to join Hendrix on stage to sing the final lines of Hey Joe, but the band wasn't too keen on the idea. The stunt (according to rock and roll legend) earned The Jimi Hendrix Experience a ban from performing on BBC television. Hendrix died the following year on 18th September 1970.

הדיסוננס בשיאו בין הפרספטיבה של המערב על #ישראל #לבנון ןה- #מלחמה לבין הפרספקטיבה בארץ. על פי וויי-נט:

בכל רחבי המזרח-התיכון מביטים בהשתאות ובסיפוק בנפילתו של ארכי אויב שאחראי לרצח של ישראלים, אמריקנים, דרוזים, נוצרים לבנונים ובעיקר מוסלמים סונים. כך, להצלחות צה”ל והמוסד יש משמעות אזורית עמוקה: הן יכולות להיות הפתח לניצחון ישראלי ולשינוי פני האזור

ולהבדיל, פה (בריטניה) מדברים על אזרחים לבנונים מסכנים, סכנה למלחמה אזורית, ואיך ש#חזבאללה עדיין אויב חזק, כך שאין סיכוי להתקפת קרקע קצרה ומוצלחת מישראל. אבל ה- #BBC וכו' לא מזכירים את זה שיש שמחים ב#סוריה, כי חזבאללה הרג יותר סורים (סונים) משהרגו מכל קבוצה אחרת.

US accuses Russia of 2024 election interference

RT boss Margarita Simonyan was one of 10 people sanctioned for alleged attempts to harm "public trust in our institutions".

Attorney General Merrick Garland accused state broadcaster RT, formerly Russia Today, of paying a Tennessee firm $10m to "create and distribute content to US audiences with hidden Russian government messaging".

"Three things are certain in life: death, taxes and RT's interference in the US elections."
