Microsoft Exec Says China Leads the World in Pandemic Response
A Microsoft executive last week announced the company is expanding its operations in China, which he said is leading the world in pandemic response.
Microsoft China president Joe Bao called China the "most dynamic and innovative place" in the world in a speech at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai. Microsoft also announced it would be doubling its cloud capacity and launching a new data center in the country. Speaking to Shanghai Daily, Bao said, "Every country in the world is looking to China as a role model for how to emerge from a pandemic today." He also suggested that Microsoft's Chinese operations are increasingly important to the company, noting that "we really think that we have an opportunity to grow faster [in China] than Microsoft in the rest of the world."
Microsoft regularly complies with the Chinese Communist Party to maintain access to the country's lucrative market. Last month, the company overhauled its LinkedIn product to satisfy government demands. In September, Microsoft president Brad Smith personally met with top Chinese officials to discuss deepening the company's relationship with China.
Microsoft has completely revamped LinkedIn in China to comply with regulators, starting an identical platform that removes users' ability to post their opinions. LinkedIn regularly censors users, including journalists, for discussing topics the Chinese Communist Party considers sensitive, like Taiwan or Tiananmen Square. LinkedIn also censored a British national on his regular account after he criticized the Chinese government.
Microsoft's close ties with the regime have not stopped Chinese hackers from repeatedly breaching the company's systems and stealing sensitive data from millions of American citizens. On Monday, Microsoft said a Chinese hacking group was attacking its systems. The same group was behind the SolarWinds hack, which accessed sensitive federal information from multiple government departments. Microsoft's top scientist reported to Congress earlier this year that "China's domestic use of AI is a chilling precedent for anyone around the world who cherishes individual liberty."
Two days after a major breach of Microsoft systems by Chinese hackers in March, Microsoft announced it would expand its cloud computing services in China...
Soros’s Secret Network Used Ukraine to Cover for Hillary, Hunter, and Target Donald Trump.
The Soros Circle: AntAC
In 2014, Soros’s International Renaissance Foundation (IRF) and its grantees were active supporters in the creation of the Anti-Corruption Action Centre (AntAC) of Ukraine, a powerful NGO. Through the end of 2018, 17 percent of AntAC’s funding was coming from Soros’s group.
AntAC is run by Daria Kaleniuk, an American-educated lawyer. White House logs show Kaleniuk visited on December 9, 2015, reportedly meeting with Eric Ciaramella, the CIA employee many suspect is the anonymous whistleblower that sparked Trump’s first impeachment, the source of which was a faultless phone call with Ukraine’s president.
AntAC was responsible for creating the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), a law enforcement group separate from the prosecutor general’s office that was tasked with handling the biggest corruption cases. It has investigatory powers but cannot indict suspects. Only when it passes its findings to prosecutors does a subject of its inquiry become part of a criminal case. The agency was established in 2014 at the behest of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after its predecessor, the National Anti-Corruption Committee, was deemed a failure. Western governments funded NABU, which also enjoyed the backing of the FBI. Like all the Orwellian names of groups Soros had a part in, NABU acts independently in name only.
With the Obama DOJ’s launch of the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, aimed at battling large-scale public corruption in foreign states, the State Department, DOJ, and FBI began outsourcing some of their own work to AntAC.
In February 2015, Viktor Shokin was appointed prosecutor general of Ukraine, and was soon scrutinized for helping the owner of the energy company Burisma. Shokin had helped owner Mykola Zlochevsky regain control of $23 million that was frozen by British authorities. Burisma was made famous by Hunter Biden’s involvement in the company, and Zlochevsky was the one who struck the deal to appoint Hunter to the company’s board of directors in 2014 at a reported salary of $83,333 per month.
AntAC’s stance on Shokin was made clear; it tweeted on December 2015 that “One of the major goals of #AntAC for 2016 is to force #Shokin to resign.”
Shokin attempted to begin a probe into Burisma that “included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden.”
This never materialized because Joe Biden (then Vice President) threatened to withhold a $1 billion loan to Ukraine unless Skokin was removed as prosecutor general. Biden even bragged about it on video to the Council on Foreign Relations in 2018, stating that when he attended a meeting with Ukraine’s president and prime minister, he said, “‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”
Biden insisted the U.S. wanted Shokin removed over corruption concerns shared by the European Union. But in tapes released by Ukrainian lawmaker Andrii Derkach, Biden and Poroshenko reveal that the Ukrainian president admitted to doing Biden’s bidding. The quid pro quo is proven.
In another recording from March 22, 2016, the two allegedly discussed who would be appointed prosecutor general of Ukraine, and then who would be their eventual replacement. Former prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko was mentioned. The White House issued a press release confirming the...“Despite the fact that (Shokin) didn’t have any corruption charges, we don’t have any information about him doing something wrong, I especially asked him…to resign.”

“Non-Binary” Assistant Professor Calls For ‘Stigma’ of Pedophilia to be ‘Delegitimized’
A “non-binary” associate professor at Old Dominion University has called for the “stigma” of pedophilia to be ‘delegitimized’.
Yes, really.
The Prostasia Foundation, a registered 503c which has called for child-like sex dolls to be legalized, posted an interview with Allyn Walker, a female-to-male transgender, who outlined her views on “minor attraction.”
Walker, an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, is the author of a book called ‘A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity’.
In the interview, Walker insists that the term “minor attracted people” should be used in preference to ‘pedophile’ because pedophiles’ feelings might be hurt otherwise.
She also highlights how, “MAP advocacy groups like B4U-Act have advocated for use of the term, and they’ve advocated for it primarily because it’s less stigmatizing than other terms like pedophile.”
“4W has previously covered the group B4U-Act, which was founded by convicted multi-child rapist Michael Melsheimer for the explicit purposes of normalizing pedophilia and distracting from prevention efforts,” writes Anna Slatz. “In Melsheimer’s own words, he wanted to ensure B4U-Act was never associated with the “prevention of offending.”
During the interview, Walker suggested that pedophilia is merely another form of...
Federal Appeals Court Reaffirms Stay on Biden’s Vaccine Mandate
A three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reaffirmed its stay on President Joe Biden’s workplace vaccine mandate on Friday.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a rule that would require businesses with at least 100 employees to mandate coronavirus vaccinations or implement frequent testing.
Friday’s decision comes after the Fifth Circuit issued a stay on the OSHA rule last Saturday.
On Monday, the U.S. Justice Department requested the appeals court lift the stay, arguing it would “likely cost dozens or even hundreds of lives per day.”
In its decision, the court ordered OSHA to “take no steps to implement or enforce the Mandate until further court order.”
At least 26 states initiated legal challenges against the mandate. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton celebrated the court’s decision online.
Paxton tweeted:
Citing Texas’s ‘compelling argument[s],’ the 5th Circuit has stayed OSHA’s unconstitutional and illegal private-business vaccine mandateWE WON! Litigation will continue, but this is a massive victory for #Texas and for FREEDOM from Biden’s tyranny and lawlessness.
The circuit court panel further wrote:
The Mandate is a one-size-fits-all sledgehammer that makes hardly any attempt to account for differences in workplaces (and workers) that have more than a little bearing on workers’ varying degrees of susceptibility to the supposedly ‘grave danger’ the Mandate purports to address.The case is...

Satan Loves to Slice Salami
Apparently, the term salami tactics - also known as the salami-slice strategy - was coined in the late 1940s by one of Satan's most beloved little helpers, Hungarian communist dictator Mátyás Rákosi who boasted of dividing and, eventually, destroying non-communist political parties in Hungary by "slicing them off like pieces of salami." According to Infogalactic, Rákosi employed the tactic in the following manner:
By portraying his opponents as fascists (or at the very least fascist sympathizers), he was able to get the opposition to slice off its right wing, then its centrists, then the more courageous left wingers, until only those fellow travelers willing to collaborate with the Communists remained in power.
Tell a child not to go in the water and he’ll sit on the bank and submerge his bare feet; he is not yet ‘in’ the water. Acquiesce, and he’ll stand up; no more of him is in the water than before. Think it over, and he’ll start wading, not going any deeper; take a moment to decide whether this is different and he’ll go a little deeper, arguing that since he goes back and forth it all averages out. Pretty soon we are calling to him not to swim out of sight, wondering whatever happened to all our discipline.
I like Schelling's example because it illustrates the "baby-step" process inherent in salami tactics - just one small slice . . . okay, just one more . . . I think I need two slices this time . . . okay, two more . . . don't complain - you still have the salami! . . . I'm going to need three slices this time around, I'm afraid . . .
And so on until all of the sudden the salami is gone. This is referred to more commonly as "salami slicing" which Infogalactic defines as:
. . . a series of many small actions, often performed by clandestine means, that as an accumulated whole produces a much larger action or result that would be difficult or unlawful to perform all at once. The term is typically used pejoratively. Although salami slicing is often used to carry out illegal activities, it is only a strategy for gaining an advantage over time by accumulating it in small increments, so it can be used in perfectly legal ways as well.
The bulk of the fake birdemic response measures implemented since 2020 have been a masterclass in salami slicing. It's just two weeks . . . it's just a mask . . . it's just a peck . . . etc. I suspect most have seen the memes, so I won't elaborate further.
I mention salami slicing and salami tactics in this post because my employers - both of them - have begun using these methods against me in a manipulative effort to get me to accept the peck as a condition of...

The 'Squad' Joins the China Appeasement Caucus
The 'Squad' of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, and Rep. Cori Bush, already full-time members of the Hamas caucus, expanded their horizons by joining the Communist China appeasement caucus.
Earlier this year, Kerry visited China and returned bearing a warning from his old masters that unless the United States dropped President Trump’s sanctions on the Communist regime over its slave labor, and on China’s military hackers stealing our technology, there would be no deals on global warming. The Xi regime also demanded that America allow its Confucius Institute front groups to conduct infiltration on American campuses, ban pro-democracy protests outside its consulates, and allow it to repress Hong Kong, and conquer Taiwan without any interference.
After his latest treasonous expedition, Kerry became the loudest voice of appeasement even in an administration that was already appeasing the Taliban, Iran, Russia, and China. The Communist regime aided Kerry by undermining other administration envoys, keeping up the pressure from the outside even as Hanoi John and his allies applied pressure from the inside.
Last month it was reported that Congressional allies were circulating a letter urging “U.S. collaboration with China” and insisting that, “There is no conceivable way to address the climate crisis without substantially strengthening communication and collaboration between our nations.” In a treasonous Freudian slip, they couldn’t stop calling it what it was, “collaboration”.
Who would possibly sign a letter like that? Even most Democrats wouldn’t “collaborate”.
But the Squad was thrilled to collaborate. So were the usual mix of House radical leftists like Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Ted Lieu, Rep. Katie Porter, Rep. Andy Levin, Rep. Chuy Garcia, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, among others who were happy to cross the streams from collaborating with Islamic terrorists to signing the Communist China collaboration letter.
As soon as the China collaboration letter was issued, the Quincy Institute, a project of George Soros, cheered the move which neatly aligned with its campaign warning against any confrontation with the Communist regime while claiming that the true threat is the climate.
At times the collaboration letter of the China appeasement caucus reads like it came out of Beijing, particularly when it states, “we hope that you will be able to work with China to fulfill the important commitments previously laid out”. While paying lip service to the "Chinese Communist Party’s numerous problematic and widely condemned...

COP26 climate change summit sets unexpected ecological record
A report commissioned for the UK government has shown that the COP26 meeting held in Glasgow has been twice as polluting as the previous climate summit, COP25, which was staged in Madrid.
The carbon footprint for the UN COP26 is expected to reach the equivalent of 102,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide, according to an initial assessment report for the UK government. The figure is roughly equivalent to the amount of C02 emitted by 10,000 British households annually.
The document, compiled by sustainability consultant Arup, notes that some 60% of the emissions are related to international air travel of some 39,000 delegates who have taken part in the environmental crisis talks. Other major sources of pollution are cited as accommodation for the delegates, ferrying of guests to and from the summit, and venue catering.
The report authors add that COP26 is the largest summit held in the UK to date and the figures on carbon emission will provide an important measure to inform wider activities within the Carbon Management Plan.
The last UN climate change summit in Madrid welcomed some 27,000 people and produced some 51,101 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Data suggest the COP summits have been gradually getting more polluting, with the 2009 COP15 in Copenhagen producing around 26,000.
The British government has said it will undertake projects within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to offset emissions.
A number of critics have bemoaned the use of gas-guzzling luxury vehicles to ferry delegates back and forth to the conference venue. Others have labelled world leaders hypocritical for flying to Glasgow for...
The Federally Funded Takedown of Natural Immunity
CDC head Rochelle Walensky recently said that “education” is needed to better inform unvaccinated Americans of their ignorance. That would include the unvaccinated who already have immunity, and who certainly aren’t ignorant of it. They are painfully aware of it, having suffered to get it, and regularly consult with their doctors and read information regarding their immunity and best healthcare choices. For most of us in that category, we choose not to get vaccinated because we have antibodies, typically in higher levels and longer lasting than the vaccinated. Many of our physicians strongly advise against vaccination because it could be hazardous in light of our previous infection, not to mention wholly unnecessary anyway.
In a recent column, I questioned what such “education” by Walensky’s CDC would look like, especially given the federal government’s nationalization of COVID healthcare policy with a shockingly myopic one-size-fits-all response of 100% vaccination, including for those with natural/herd immunity.
Well, now we see another disturbing manifestation of what this CDC “education” looks like.
The CDC recently released a study contending that COVID artificial immunity is superior to natural immunity, which on its face obviously goes against common sense and science. Given that COVID has become politicized, the liberal media that walks in lockstep with the governing Democrats immediately touted the study and turned it against conservatives. An egregious piece by Yahoo News did just that, weaponizing the study against Ron DeSantis, Dennis Prager, and conservative talk-radio in particular. It was a crass display of partisan political reporting rather than neutral science reporting. But given the politicization of vaxxing and masking, it was no surprise. This one study will become holy writ to anti-science vaxxers in the liberal media. In fact, given the study’s conclusion, liberals can now finally start talking about natural immunity — but only to argue against it.
The study was first flagged for me by a reader (Jeff) with a subject head, “Do you believe this study? I don’t.” The study’s astonishing claim of five times greater immunity among artificial recipients immediately strikes one as unbelievable. One might imagine a number, say, 1.2 times greater (if that). But five times? Impossible. In fact, on its face, the study’s conclusion is obviously unsupportable in...
