Multiple Ukraine Officials Removed or
Resigned as Widespread Corruption and
Embarrassing Financial Graft Discovered

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 1/25/2023 1:35:18 PM

While Volodymyr Zelenskyy was on tour banging his tin cup for NATO donations, apparently his top government officials were skimming the books and building an extravagant life on the backs of the U.S. taxpayers. (snip) the wife of Zelenskyy went Christmas shopping in Paris and spent over €40,000 in a few hours on ritzy Avenue Montaigne. Where did people think she got that money? In an effort to stop the embarrassing revelations of internal corruption from weakening support for the inbound flows of cash from corrupt U.S. officials, the government of Zelenskyy has begun getting rid of the officials who were stealing the war money.

Comments:

When will the handout to Zelensky & Co end?

OK,.... let's talk about the corruption of Madam Zelensky while we're at it (and likely Zelensky himself). I support a free and independent Ukraine all right, having visited the country before Putin's invasion, but the corruption there makes support difficult.

As vice president, Biden publicly bragged that he told the Ukranians that unless they fired the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, on whose board Hunter was collecting $80,000 per month, the U.S. would withhold $1 billion in promised aid. Democrats did not see this as a problem. What infuriated them was that President Trump had called Zelensky to find out more about that, for which phone call Trump was impeached. Would Democrats first ignore, then deny, then explain, and finally defend Biden if his son was actually compensated by Burisma and China for sending them the documents he found sprinkled around Biden's home and garage? Do Democrats even now deny the actions of Algier Hiss, defend Jane Fonda, and celebrate Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl?

That will teach them. When you take graft, be sure the higher ups get their cut. Reminds me of a story a Mexican national told me many years ago. If you're a Mexican official on the take, you need to know where to go in the US to deposit that loot. If you're on the low end, you go to a bank in the Rio Grande Valley. McAllen, Brownsville, Laredo. Next tier, San Antonio, Houston, Phoenix. Mid level: Dallas, Denver Top Level: Los Angeles, Chicago, New York. That way, you don't bump into the guys the next level up when you're at the bank making your deposits.

Zelensky has stolen plenty of it for himself. Allegedly he has a fantastic estate purchased in his parent's name in Switzerland. I suspect he has multiple bank accounts for himself as well. You want more munitions Zelensky? Buy them yourself. You have plenty of OUR money.

Oklahoma Judge: Sperm-Donor Baby Belongs
With Mother And Father, Not Mom’s Lesbian Ex
14 replies
Posted by earlybird 2/17/2023 2:13:12 PM Post Reply
An Oklahoma judge ruled on Thursday that a baby created for a lesbian couple using purchased sperm belongs with his biological mother and father, not his mom’s female ex. Kris Williams argued that because she helped raise the toddler with her now ex-wife Rebekah Wilson and since she is listed on his birth certificate, she deserves full parental rights. Oklahoma County District Judge Lynne McGuire rejected that claim and said that Oklahoma law detailing parentage trumps the state’s legalization of same-sex marriage. “[The act] does not take into account same-sex marriage, and there is no presumption that the wife of the mother is automatically presumed the parent of a child born during

A 1,000 percent increase in syphilis among newborns as reported by a Mississippi medical director concerns a Texas physician who was involved in the effort to get the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data released by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Because of what he’s read in that data, Dr. Richard Bartlett, a Texas physician of 30 years, told The Epoch Times that he questions whether the outbreak of syphilis and 2021’s surge of hepatitis are potentially related to evidence from a new study suggesting that “extended vaccination with [receptor binding domain] boosters overturned the protective immune memories by promoting adaptive immune tolerance.” In other words, prolonged boosters could be harming

When Ohio Senator JD Vance was briefing the press earlier today, he was asked about East Palestine residents being required to sign indemnity waivers, releasing Norfolk Southern Railway from legal liability, as a requirement of having their water/air tests conducted on their property. Senator Vance said he talked to a resident about it, then reviewed the contract and confirmed the indemnity demand. Vance then immediately called Norfolk Southern Railroad officials and asked them about it. According to Vance, the response from Norfolk Southern Railway was that the liability waiver was accidentally presented. WATCH (@24:54 Prompted):

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday canceled scheduled arguments in a case in which Republicans sought to keep in place a policy introduced under former President Donald Trump that has let American officials quickly expel hundreds of thousands of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. The policy, known as Title 42, (snip) a measure tied to a public health emergency. The justices removed it from their argument calendar after the Justice Department told them on Feb. 7 the case would become moot because Title 42 will expire in light of an announcement by President Joe Biden's administration that the recognition of a COVID-19 public health emergency will end effective May 11.

The Chinese spy balloon had maneuvering capability and had similarities to the Google balloon project Loon, which utilized AI analytics in its operations, according to Col. (Ret.) John Mills, an author and former director of cybersecurity policy, strategy, and international affairs at the Department of Defense. “What’s very interesting is in 2012, I was at Google and Google briefed me on Project Loon, their balloon project. And they use their advanced AI and analytics to raise and lower the balloon and they could maintain the position of a balloon by raising and lowering it. And they could also maneuver it,” Mills said in an interview recorded on Feb. 9

A series of condescending and cringe-inducing tweets sent out by Joe Biden’s Acting Ambassador for Afghanistan has spurred a reaction of shock, disgust and ridicule among critics. Karen Decker is the “charge d’affaires” for the U.S. Mission to Afghanistan, which is based in Doha, Qatar. As the top-ranked U.S. diplomat assigned to Afghanistan, she has recently seen fit to lecture the Taliban-controlled Afghan people about Black History Month. On Feb. 12, Decker flippantly described Abraham Lincoln—who is largely considered America’s greatest president—as someone who “did some stuff,” before gushing about the NAACP, “grassroots activism” and “black voices.”

New medical diagnosis codes for COVID-19 immunization status have been added in the United States. One code is for being “unvaccinated for COVID-19.” That code “may be assigned when the patient has not received at least one dose of any COVID-19 vaccine,” the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which implemented the new codes in 2022, states in a document outlining the codes. Another code is for being partially vaccinated or having received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine but not having received enough doses to meet the CDC’s definition of fully vaccinated. The goal of the codes is “to track people who are not immunized or only partially

For much of 2017 through 2021, Americans suffered the “bombshell” and “walls are closing” mythologies first of Russian collusion, then of supposedly vast Russian social media investments to sabotage the election. From there we moved on to the Alfa Bank (snip) the supposed Putin bounties on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan that Trump was said to have ignored and, of course, the idea that Hunter’s laptop was just “Russian disinformation.” These were journalistic sins of commission, warping the news cycle to advance ideological agendas and win elections. There emerged, however, other real landmines of omission—things the media deliberately ignores, but have the potential to go off and blow up a presidency.

Two years ago today, Feb. 17, Rush Limbaugh passed away. It is undeniable that he left a gaping hole that no one else can fill; he invented a new kind of conservative media, and he certainly did it best. Rush Limbaugh had a genius for talk radio, and part of that genius was that many people who never even met him felt that when he died, they lost a friend. But I think the best way to remember Limbaugh is by letting him speak for himself, so I want to share a few of the most memorable quotes from the “Mayor of Realville,”

On February 9, New Jersey Italian restaurant Nettie’s House of Spaghetti, despite having a name that makes it sound like a children’s restaurant, issued a statement across its social media accounts that beginning in early March, they would no longer allow children under 10 to dine at the restaurant. The announcement made headlines and points to the perennial debate over whether banning kids under a certain age from eating at restaurants is reasonable. This debate is, of course, not new. There will always be a steady stream of new children coming to restaurants with their parents, and some of those children will act in accordance with their developmental tendencies.

President Joe Biden signed an executive order Thursday aimed at rooting out systemic racism from the federal government and doing more to achieve racial equity. The order, made in the middle of Black History month, extends an order Biden made on his first day in office requiring federal agencies to investigate inequities within their departments and to proactively address shortcomings. That is now an annual requirement. The aim is to deliver “equitable outcomes” for all Americans, including underserved communities, through government policies, programs, and services.

Rupert Murdoch and Fox News hosts expressed disbelief in former President Donald Trump’s false election fraud claims, according to evidence released from Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox Corp and its cable-TV networks. In court papers filed Thursday, text messages and testimony from depositions show that Fox executives and TV personalities were skeptical about claims that the election between the victorious Joe Biden, a Democrat, and Trump, a Republican, was rigged. The release follows months of discovery and depositions that have remained private until Thursday, when the companies filed court papers before a Delaware judge laying out each of their cases and unveiling recently gathered evidence.

The announcement by President Trump with his intent to visit East Palestine next Wednesday, followed moments later by a reversal announcement from FEMA stating they will now offer support to East Palestine, do not seem coincidental.

I think she’s been really courageous and has moved with swiftness to conduct this investigation.” He continued, “When a prosecutor talks about charging decisions, I tend to infer from that suggests someone will be charged.
