TRANS MANDATE ON HOLD A U.S. District Court in Tennessee on Friday temporarily barred the Biden administration from enforcing a policy that would require every state to allow biological males to compete in female sports and use women’s and girls’ restrooms. In 2021 the Education Department said it would add “gender identity” to Title IX anti-discrimination rules. Attorneys general from 20 states responded by suing the Biden administration. Friday’s court decision ruled in favor of the attorneys general. READ

ANALYSIS: GREEN POLICIES STARVE PEOPLE From Sri Lanka to the Netherlands, progressive environmentalist policies have led to shortages, starvation, and civil unrest, writes Douglas Blair of the Daily Signal. Only seven months after the implementation of green policies in Sri Lanka, “the government was forced to revoke the program as crop yields plummeted and food prices skyrocketed. …Starving and unable to find relief, Sri Lankans began to rise up and revolt … thousands converged on the presidential residence and stormed the gates.” READ

House Democrats Pass Measure to Identify ‘Neo-Nazis’ in Military, Law Enforcement

https://www.winterwatch.net/2022/07/...w-enforcement/

July 18, 2022 Winter Watch Around the Web, Business, Culture, Politics, US News



THE EPOCH TIMES — House Democrats on July 13 voted to add an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the annual military spending bill, to identify “neo-Nazis” in the military and law enforcement.

The NDAA amendment was sponsored by Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) and instructs the FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Department of Defense (DOD) to publish a report analyzing “white supremacist and neo-Nazi activity” within military and law enforcement.

The amendment passed in a 218–208 vote where it faced unilateral opposition from Republicans.

“Such behavior, such extremism is a threat to us in all segments of society. There is no reason to believe that our military is any different,” Schneider said on the House floor late on the evening on July 13 in defense of the amendment.

“These are exceptions,” Schneider insisted. “They are rare, but we must do everything we can to identify them and to thwart them before risks become a reality.”

If the amendment is passed by the Senate, the FBI, DHS, and DOD would be required within 180 days to send Congress a report on the number of people discharged from either military service or law enforcement for “white supremacist” or “neo-Nazi” ideology. […]

__________
Dachsie comment:
The neo-NAZI people in the military can be easily identified because they are the people who create policies that make it almost impossible to receive an exemption from having to take the experiemental unapproved "COVID vaccine" to be able to stay on active duty in the military.

The democrats in the House themselves appear to have the same policies and philosophies and strategies as the totalitarian mandatory "vaxxers" in the military.

Now, the "House Democrats" are deciding who is a "neo-NAZI" by their own Neo-NAZI definition.

The Constitution forbids the USA from maintaining a standing Army for more than 2 years. The NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) allows Congress to maintain a perpetual Army by funding it every 2 years.

Dachsie comment:

Looks like the Biden Administration has caused another huge federal agency to go to wreck and ruin.
High level SSA administrator, Theresa Gruber, has demonstrated "behavioral anomalies" for several months. SSA Acting Commissioner, Dr. Dr. Kijakazi, has chosen to do nothing.
Conceivably many thousands of SS applicants for SS programs may have been treated unjustly and may now experiencing severe financial crisis because of not receiving a decision regarding their application or being denied SS program acceptance unjustly.

Employees are afraid to blow the whistle on Ms.Gruber because if she is not fired, she will fire those employees who blew the whistle on her.

Consequently, because this problem has gone on for several months, the general morale and functioning of the entire federal Social Security Administration* is in a state of devolving decay and rot.

From 2014 - 2021, Dr. Kijakazi served as an Institute fellow at the Urban Institute where she developed collaborative partnerships to expand and strengthen Urban’s rigorous research agenda, effectively communicate findings to diverse audiences, and recruit and retain a diverse research staff at all levels. Dr. Kijakazi also conducted research in the areas of economic security, structural racism, and the racial wealth gap.

Dr. Kijakazi holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the State University of New York, Binghamton, a Master of Social Work degree from Howard University, and a PhD in public policy from the George Washington University.

*Dr. Kilolo Kijakazi is the Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Dr. Kijakazi has only been employed by the SSA since 2021. Before that she was employed at the Urban Institute. I do not see what that is or where that is or what it does.
https://www.ssa.gov/agency/commissioner/

Biden fired the former Commissioner and brought in this replacement. Something looks seriously awry at the Social Security Administration and that affects all of us.

Top Social Security official keeps job after reports of being impaired at work

Excerpts from article

Image without a caption
By Lisa Rein
July 12, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. EDT



A top Social Security leader is often impaired at work, six witnesses told investigators. But months after the report was filed, no action has been taken, and the problems persist, witnesses say. (Jenny Kane/AP)

Her department manages half a million hearings and appeals a year for claimants seeking disability, retirement and survivor benefits, with more than 1,500 administrative law judges and staffers in 10 regions and close to 170 local hearing offices.

Theresa Gruber, a deputy commissioner overseeing around 9,000 employees and a $1.2 billion budget in the hearings and appeals operation, displayed “significant anomalies” at work over the course of at least a year, including slurred speech in which she “appeared intoxicated,” leaving meetings without notice, slouching in her chair and aggressive behavior, witnesses told investigators.

The report concluded by referring its findings to the agency “for any administrative action deemed warranted” and asking for a written response explaining “the final disposition or administrative action to be taken.” The report said the inspector general’s office took “no position” on “the imposition of administrative actions” against Gruber.

The investigation was not released publicly.

Inspectors general have varying practices on disclosing reports on senior leaders as they seek a balance between protecting staff privacy and exposing harmful conduct. If a leader can’t perform their job, it violates one of the key principles of the federal merit system to “manage employees efficiently and effectively.” The more senior the leader, the less privacy they tend to be afforded, said several inspectors general who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

In cases where an employee displays conduct that affects their ability to work, it is standard practice at federal agencies for managers to ask their personnel departments to do an internal review, then recommend that the employee take medical leave to address the issue, particularly in cases of drug or alcohol abuse, according to experts on federal government operations and written policies.

Ennis’s office gave Kijakazi 60 days to respond in writing to its report on Gruber. For reasons that are unclear, the inspector general did not complete its investigation to produce a full report.

A spokeswoman for Ennis declined in an email to “confirm or deny” the report. The spokeswoman, who refused to be named, wrote that Social Security “is solely responsible for any personnel actions” stemming from an investigation of an agency employee. Asked why Gruber was not interviewed, the spokeswoman wrote that the office “does not disclose techniques and procedures related to its law enforcement investigations.”

Investigations conducted by the inspector general are “not public documents,” the spokeswoman wrote, a policy at odds with major watchdog offices in the federal government.

Alice Crites contributed to this report.

...
“The leadership of Social Security is clearly protecting one of their own,” Nick Schwellenbach, a senior investigator for the Project on Government Oversight, which monitors the work of federal inspectors general and advocates for reforms to the system, said after The Post described the allegations to him. “If you’re just sweeping the problem under the rug, that’s the kind of thing that kills public confidence in federal agencies.”

Observe closely what the Russians are saying about the USA and that they are saying that they have irrefutable proof of their assertions.

�� The next story may possibly be the most significant news I’ve ever reported, and I don’t think I’m exaggerating. The news is that Deputy Chairwoman of the Russian State Duma (congress) Irina Yarovaya gave an update yesterday on Russia’s official investigation into US Biolabs in Ukraine.
What the Russians are saying isn’t pretty. And they claim to have a mountain of evidence. So far, the U.S. has not deigned to respond to any of the deadly serious allegations.
Remember that back in May, the Russians presented evidence to the U.N. Security Council arguing that the U.S. had been performing illegal bioweapons development — AND TESTING — in Ukraine, including accusing the last three Democrat administrations of working with George Soros, Bill Gates, and big pharma to break treaties, develop illegal weapons technology, release bioweapons into Ukraine, test the weapons on soldiers and mental patients, and — most significantly — infect the Russian people and crops.
Specifically, the Russians identified a surprising list of key individuals and groups alleged to have masterminded the conspiracy:
• The *Democratic National Party*
• *Barack Obama*
• *Hilary Clinton*
• *Joe Biden*
• *George Soros*
I am not making that up. That’s what the Russians are saying. A remarkable diagram shows all the alleged players that goes far beyond those named above, and includes Pfizer, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and others.

The Russians accused the top Democrats of facilitating the illegal research for military purposes in league with big pharma, which was brought in whenever there were tests or leaks, to develop lucrative treatments for the new diseases. In return, argued the Russians, big pharma funneled massive campaign contributions back to Democrats, making a sinister and demonic viral feedback loop.
U.S. corporate media — which furiously leapt on the made-up Russiagate story and for weeks breathlessly reported unsubstantiated allegations against Brett Kavenaugh — completely ignored the Russians’ incredibly serious accusations, fully discounting them as “Russian misinformation” to the point it wasn’t even worth mentioning. The Biden Administration even tried to setup a “disinformation governance board” run by a former Zelensky aid, in an apparent effort to screw an even tighter lid onto the news.
Last week, the Russians announced they intend to release a comprehensive report about the U.S. biolabs program soon — before the midterms — and yesterday, as I said, Chairwoman Yarovaya gave a status update to the Russian Duma, or legislature.
�� Yarovaya began her comments yesterday as follows:
“As evidence today, the parliamentary commission may already present the facts that bio laboratories supervised by the Pentagon on the territory of Ukraine did not meet safety criteria. In the current mode of their activity, they posed and pose a colossal threat for citizens of Ukraine and for the whole world.
The facility was not only insecure. Despite the fact that they were working with dangerous viruses and pathogens, there was also a leak. It is quite likely that this explains the growth of epidemics in Ukraine.
But most likely, those who created these laboratories were interested in ensuring [they] were not adequately protected, not only for corruption, but also in order to carry out a live experiment; in this way, to monitor what the reaction from the population would be, what the mortality rate would be, what the consequences would be.”
In other words, the Russians are saying the U.S. has been INTENTIONALLY negligent. The idea would be that the U.S. could deliberately leak pathogens and then hide behind the excuse it was just an accident, because everybody knows the labs are so shoddy. Like when your kids manically swings his arms around acting crazy and then “accidentally” punches his younger brother in the nose. Sorry not sorry!
The Russians’ theory sounds bonkers until you consider Wuhan. Starting in 2018, the State Department published a series of reports about how the biolab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was so insecure and poorly-run. And then nothing whatever was done about it. Then the covid virus “accidentally” leaked and broke the world. So those State Department reports were retrospectively super helpful, in diverting suspicion that the virus was purposefully leaked.
It was just an accident.
The Russians also alleged that the U.S. culprits are hiding behind “animal research;” further concealing their guilt by genetically grafting human infection capabilities onto existing animal viruses, so they can claim natural origins for the newly-developed bugs. Like with covid. Or monkeypox.
If true, it would explain all the “veterinary reasearch” biolabs the U.S. has been building in all these third-world countries that lack oversight or effective supervision and what regulators there are, will — well — look the other way under the right circumstances. And probably pretty cheaply.
Yarovaya said the result of all this intentional negligence has been “unforeseen situations all over the world.” She fingered the U.S. for the novel monkeypox outbreak. “Everything related to coronavirus, monkey pox, should be searched in the test tubes of American laboratories,” she said.
By a totally random coincidence, the very same Wuhan Institute of Virology where covid was developed was also experimenting with monkeypox:
So.
�� Because the Russians are naming specific individuals, it is starting to look like the Russians plan to launch a Nuremberg-style international criminal complaint along the lines that so many Americans have been wishing for. It also looks like the Chinese are siding with the Russians. The Chinese have good reasons to side with the Russians.
A 2017 article published in the Journal of Health Security is titled, “Taiwan’s Public Health National Laboratory System: Success in Influenza Diagnosis and Surveillance.” It includes some interesting statistics.



Taiwan has about the same population as the State of Florida. But for some reason, the article reported that the country has “1,251 microbiological laboratories in a tiered system that addresses medical, agricultural, food, and environmental needs.” That seems like a lot of biolabs; it would be the equivalent of 18 biolabs in every county in Florida.
According to the article, Taiwan has “a national BSL-4 laboratory in northern Taiwan affiliated with the National Defense Medical Center.” In other words, it’s military. It also has 31 “national labs,” which “serve as reference centers for the fields of virology, bacteriology, parasitology, mycology, and vector biology.”
Vector biology is the study of carriers, like ticks and mosquitos, that can transmit infectious diseases to humans.
The Russian allegations, and the justification they create for the invasion of Ukraine, also create a neat justification for a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
In her most recent Substack letter, doctor Naomi Wolfe — who has led the effort to crowdsource the Pfizer document dump review — claims to have discovered information showing that Pfizer is partly owned by the Chinese Communist Party, or at least that the CCP owns a major manufacturer of the mRNA drug.
Wolfe says her project has convinced her that we are already at war and just don’t realize it yet. Facing the Beast - Outspoken with Dr Naomi Wolf.
�� All these allegations — completely ignored by corporate media — are incredibly serious. The Russians are accusing the U.S. of a biological weapons of mass destruction attack. It has long been the official policy of the U.S. that a bioweapons attack is equivalent to a nuclear attack, and would justify a nuclear response.
It doesn’t matter whether they’re right. The Russians appear to believe they are legally justified in retaliating against the U.S. using weapons of mass destruction. And they’re building the case using a lot of shady stuff that the U.S. and its deep-state corporate allies have been up to.
It sure would be a good time for the U.S. government to speak up and get totally transparent about the legitimate purpose behind all these labs. Assuming there IS a legitimate purpose.
But perpetrators, whoever they are, would almost certainly risk nuclear war to protect their secrets if only half of what the Russians are saying is true. So, wittingly or not, we are all involved in a deadly game of nuclear chicken.
And our driver is Joe Biden.
In any event, it is looking even more likely that Naomi Wolfe is right, that the Third World War already started over two years ago in January 2020, with covid. We all thought WW3 would be fought with global thermonuclear war. But that style of warfare is simply too expensive, so warfare has obviously evolved, or mutated. This World War’s arsenal actually appears to be constructed out of biological weapons — and their mandated therapeutics.
