Attorney General Merrick Garland says the Justice Department’s investigation into the Capitol riot is the “most urgent” in DOJ history, more than a year after the U.S. Capitol Building was stormed on Jan. 6, 2021.

The claim by President Joe Biden's chief law enforcement officer comes as Republicans have said the Biden DOJ has not put the same effort into prosecutions tied to the violent riots of 2020 as the storming of the Capitol and have criticized the department for its decision to shutter the China Initiative despite a growing threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party.

"This is the most urgent investigation in the history of the Justice Department. It is the most resource-intensive. We have thrown 70 prosecutors from the District of Columbia and another 70 around the country,” Garland said of the Capitol riot in an NPR interview on Thursday. “Every FBI office, almost every U.S. attorney's office in the country is working on this matter. We've issued thousands of subpoenas, seized and examined thousands of electronic devices, examined terabytes of data, thousands of hours of videos. People are working every day, 24/7, and are fully aware of how important this is.”

Garland added: “This had to do with the interference with the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to another. And it doesn't get more important than that."

The attorney general's claim that the Capitol riot inquiry is the most urgent in DOJ history is notable. The Justice Department was established in 1870 to enforce the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments after the Civil War. It famously sought to stop Nazi saboteurs during World War Two, established a Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List, enforces civil rights laws, and is tasked with stopping cartels and other criminal organizations.

The DOJ and FBI were deeply involved in investigating the 9/11 attacks and are responsible for preventing and prosecuting terrorist attacks. The department deals with foreign espionage cases, prosecutes assassination efforts, and goes after violent crime. John Durham’s special counsel criminal investigation is scrutinizing the origins and conduct of the Trump-Russia investigation.

FBI Director Christopher Wray claimed in January that the FBI is working just as hard to punish participants in the 2020 riots as those involved in the Capitol riot.

Garland said in January “there is no higher priority” at DOJ than prosecuting the Capitol riot cases. He compared the deadly Oklahoma City bombing of 1995 to the Capitol riot in June. The attorney general indicated in May the DOJ was prioritizing prosecutions related to the...

The world is heading into a global food crisis thanks to the war in Ukraine, according to the head of one major Agri organisation.

Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine is going to have a ‘catastrophic’ effect on the world’s supply of food, the head of one of the world’s leading fertiliser companies.

Both Russia and Ukraine account for a significant portion of the global grain supply, with both nations also having significant roles within the supply of fertiliser, as well as its raw materials.

However, with trade grinding to a halt as a result of the latest stage in the ongoing conflict, the head of one major fertiliser company is sounding off alarm bells.

“Half the world’s population gets food as a result of fertilisers… and if that’s removed from the field for some crops, [the yield] will drop by 50%,” Svein Tore Holsether, who heads up agri company Yara International, told the BBC.

“For me, it’s not whether we are moving into a global food crisis – it’s how large the crisis will be,” he went on to say.

Holsether emphasised that there was already significant supply difficulties before the start of the current conflict, with the BBC noting that the increased cost of gas prices was already resulting in a steep rise in the cost of fertiliser.

The Yara International boss also is reported to have pointed out that around a quarter of key nutrients used in food production come from Russia, with sanctions now looking likely to further constrain in supply.

“At the same time we’re doing whatever we can do at the moment to also find additional sources,” he emphasised. “But with such short timelines it’s limited.”

Unintended consequences: European farmers, who depend to a great extent on Ukrainian and Russian grain to feed their animals, will "suffer" as a result of war, sanctions cutting supply https://t.co/U9wyutmO7A

Svein Tore Holsether is not the only person putting forward a bleak picture of future food security, however.

Michael Scannell — a senior figure in the EU’s Agriculture Department — has said that the knock-on effects of the war in Ukraine will be “painful” for Europe’s Agri-Food sector, with a lot of the bloc’s fertiliser and animal feed being sourced from either Russia or Ukraine.

However, the EU bureaucrat was convinced that the European bloc would be able to get through the crisis.

“The consequences of this Russian aggression will have a major impact on our agri-food sector, and it will be painful, but, we have to suffer that pain,” Scannell said, noting that “Ukrainians are paying with their lives, not in Euros”, and so the cost did not seem so steep for the EU within that context.

Local politicians within the EU appear to have also grown increasingly concerned regarding the possibility of future shortages.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has said his country must stay out of the conflict in Ukraine, noting the country’s reliance on Russian imports, while his government’s agriculture minister has emphasised that the country’s food supply must be protected.

“We condemn the war, especially that it is here in our neighborhood; we say no to violence, we stand together with our allies, and all this is important, but the most important thing is that Hungary should stay out of this war conflict,” Orbán is reported as saying.

Ireland also appears to be on a war footing in regards to the crisis, with the country’s minister of agriculture confirming that he will be asking farmers to increase grain production in the hopes of combatting supply shortages, mirroring government policy implemented within the country during the Second World War.

However, the Irish Farmers’ Association has warned officials against taking top-down measures without consulting farmers first.

“It would be very unwise of the Government to make any decisions on this before engaging fully with...

As much as they accuse the right of suffering from a groundless list of phobias, leftist institutions are the ones promoting mental illness.

In response to Iowa’s recent legislation banning males from participating on female sports teams, a March 3 article at CNN accused Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds of using “transphobic language to justify the need for the ban.” After Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s order rightly labeling the genital mutilation of minors as “child abuse” and urging such abuse to be reported, a Feb. 26 op-ed in the Los Angeles Times described the move as a “toxic cocktail of ‘what about the children?’ hand-wringing, unregenerate transphobia and MAGA-friendly demonizing of medical expertise.”

MSNBC talking head Joy Reid brought far-left Democrats on her show on Feb. 22 to call homophobic and transphobic Florida’s bill banning public schools from teaching “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” to kindergarteners through 3rd-graders.

It’s a common tactic from those on the left: accuse their political and ideological opponents of suffering from various phobias or disorders, whether it be homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, xenophobia, or “Asian phobia.” It’s a clever rhetorical move: if your opponent’s opinions are not motivated by reason and argument, but irrational fear, then you don’t need to acknowledge or refute those opinions.

Conflict Avoidance

In this game, the problem isn’t the argument, but the person, who is caricatured as bigoted, racist, or sexist. And if your interlocutor is that irredeemably evil, the solution isn’t to debate such a person, but to ridicule and silence him.

Of course, this is not arguing in good faith. It is instead one of the oldest logical fallacies in the book: the ad hominem, in which one party seeks to delegitimize the other (and his position) by attacking him. But there’s also a deep irony that this tactic is so frequently employed by leftists, for it is many left-wing policies that promote and engender various psychological maladies.

Consider for example the way our academic institutions have groomed younger generations to view themselves as so weak and vulnerable that even encountering an alternative opinion is viewed as a threat to their emotional well-being. The slogan that “words are violence” has migrated far beyond college campuses into corporate media and the way many on the left understand debate. Students at institutions of higher education from...

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), without much fanfare, announced last month that samples obtained through PCR nasal swab tests have been sent to labs for genomic sequencing.

With an unassuming Tweet, the CDC stated:

“Remember that #COVID19 nose swab test you took? What happened to the swab? If it was processed with a PCR test, there’s a 10% chance that it ended up in a lab for genomic sequencing analysis.”

What does that mean? Some individuals responded to that admission.

“Well, this is a concerning development. Was the intent provided upfront in a disclosure? I would not have agreed to releasing my DNA!” one Twitter user wrote.

Another Tweet states, “Sounds illegal to me!” while another Tweeted: “Translation… We now own your DNA Do you trust us?”

The Gateway Pundit, reporting on this admission, did note the CDC’s response was to say the genomic sequencing analysis is used to detect new strains of COVID-19 so they can perpetuate fear of the common cold. Well, maybe they didn’t admit to the fear portion, but let’s be honest.

Mac Slavo wrote: “We all knew this scamdemic was multifaceted from the beginning. The nefarious actions of the ruling class are still playing out, and it’s doubtful that this will be the worst revelation in the coming months. It also begs the question: what about the Chinese anal swabs?”

Of course, let’s not shed too many tears for those Americans subjected to the anal swabs. After all, most of them were U.S. diplomats who are part of the ruling class.

This is just one of the many, many reasons to never ever take one of these fraudulent PCR tests that have driven the casedemic. As previously reported, these tests are useless and contain poisons, and they have the potential to be used as a way to secretly “vaccinate” people.

That admission that the tests could be used to “vaccinate” came from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) which developed a micro-device called “theragrippers.”

Patrick Smith, writing for JHU, stated these “theragrippers” can be put into the human body through Q-tips.

“Inspired by a parasitic worm that digs its sharp teeth into its host’s intestines, Johns Hopkins researchers have designed tiny, star-shaped microdevices that can latch onto intestinal mucosa and release drugs into the body,” Smith wrote. “A theragripper is about the size of a speck of dust. This swab contains dozens of the tiny devices.”

The tests have been used to subjugate people and strip them of their humanity. It’s one of the many tools used over the last two years.

Evita Duffy, writing for the student-run University of Chicago publication The Chicago Thinker, detailed the subjugation occurring on college campuses.

“Since COVID-19 emerged, American colleges have subjected students to the most strict, unscientific, and unethical mandates in the country,” Duffy wrote. “Piling on top of tyrannical federal, state, and local mandates, campus rules have not only been foolish, but destructive.”

She added: “Without even controlling for comorbidities, the survival rate for Americans under 65 who have contracted COVID since February 2020 is 99.87 percent. Yet my school and virtually all other American universities have used COVID to wield frightening control over their students.”

Duffy provided the top 7 absurdities of the past two years including the removal of bodily autonomy, denial of education paid for, subjugation through masks, the inability to exercise without subjugation, the forceful mental submission, the increased surveillance state and the requirement to submit to...
