Suspect caught illegally entering U.S. at least seven times since 2011 An illegal alien who was shot while attacking a U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agent in Texas is wanted for murder in Mexico and has a lengthy history of unlawful entries to the U.S., according to reports. On May 16, a Del Rio Sector USBP agent was assaulted by an illegal alien during an enforcement action in Quemado, a town on the Mexican border approximately 20 miles northwest of Eagle Pass, as InfoWars previously reported. Agents had been tracking a group of illegals who attempted to evade detection at the Rio Grande. While being taken into custody, one of the men resisted arrest and tried to grab a border agent’s firearm, at which time he was shot in the leg. The agent, who suffered a fractured rib during the scuffle, applied a tourniquet to the wounded man’s leg as they waited for medical responders, likely saving his life, authorities say.URGENT!

CIA's venture capital firm In-Q-Tel, along with 'former' intelligence community and CIA analysts were involved in massive effort in 2021-2022 to take over Twitter's content management system, according to bombshell report. While the CIA is strictly prohibited from spying on or running clandestine operations against American citizens on US soil, a bombshell new “Twitter Files” report reveals that a member of the Board of Trustees of InQtel – the CIA’s mission-driving venture capital firm, along with “former” intelligence community (IC) and CIA analysts, were involved in a massive effort in 2021-2022 to take over Twitter’s content management system, as Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag report over at Shellenberger’s Public (subscribers can check out the extensive 6,800 word report here). According to “thousands of pages of Twitter Files and documents,” these efforts were part of a broader strategy to manage how information is disseminated and consumed on social media under the guise of combating ‘misinformation’ and foreign propaganda efforts – as this complex of government-linked individuals and organizations has gone to great lengths to suggest that narrative control is a national security issue.

Jankowicz (aka ‘Scary Poppins’), previously tipped to lead the DHS’s now-aborted Disinformation Governance Board, has been a vocal advocate for more stringent regulation of online speech to counteract ‘rampant disinformation.’ Jim Baker, in his capacity as FBI General Counsel and later as Twitter’s Deputy General Counsel, advocated for and implemented policies that would restrict certain types of speech on the platform, including decisions that affected the visibility of politically sensitive content.URGENT!

Furthermore, companies like PayPal, Amazon Web Services, and GoDaddy were mentioned as part of a concerted effort to de-platform and financially de-incentivize individuals and organizations deemed threats by the IC. This approach represents a significant escalation in the use of corporate cooperation to achieve what might essentially be considered censorship under the guise of national security. Nina Jankowicz And The Alethea Group Remember Nina? A huge fan of Christopher Steele – architect of the infamous Clinton-funded Dossier which underpinned the Trump-Russia hoax, and who joined the chorus of disinformation agents that downplayed the Hunter Biden laptop bombshell, Jankowicz previously served as a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, and advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry as part of the Fulbright-Clinton Public Policy Fellowship. She also oversaw the Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute. Jankowicz compares the lack of regulation of speech on social media to the lack of government regulation of automobiles in the 1960s. She calls for a “cross-platform” and public-private approach, so whatever actions are taken are taken by Google, Facebook, and Twitter, simultaneously.Jankowicz points to Europe as the model for regulating speech. “Germany’s NetzDG law requires social media companies and other content hosts to remove ‘obviously illegal’ speech within twenty-four hours,” she says, “or face a fine of up to $50 million.”By contrast, in the US, she laments, “Congress has yet to pass a bill imposing even the most basic of regulations related to social media and election advertising.” -Public In a 2020 book, How to Lose the Information War: Russia, Fake News, and the Future of Conflict, Jankowicz praises a NATO cyber security expert for having created a “Center of Excellence,” a concept promoted by Renée Diresta of the Stanford Internet Observatory, in which she made the case for the (now failed) Disinformation Governance Board that Jankowicz would briefly head up. One year later, Jankowicz began working with ‘anti-disinformation’ consulting firm, Althea Group, staffed by “former” IC analysts. Althea notably came after ZeroHedge at one point, shopping a ‘dossier’ around which suggested we were allegedly contributing to “increased online panic” amid the monumental collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. The outlets they peddled said dossier to included Bloomberg – which elected to exclude ZeroHedge from their report following a brief email exchange. Eventually, one of their operatives dropped the dossier on Twitter, only to be mocked as a propagandist. You mean a financial newsblog published a number of stories about a significant bank failure?

Google directly funding censorship orgs https://t.co/DNfWjUowYR— zerohedge (@zerohedge) April 9, 2024 Another Alethea Group operative until July 2021 was former CIA analyst, Cindy Otis, who wrote a book called “True or False: A CIA Analyst’s Guide to Spotting Fake News” – in which she thanks Pieter “Mudge” Zatko – a notorious hacker who was hired by Twitter to “tackle everything from engineering missteps to misinformation,” Reuters wrote at the time. According to Jankowicz, “My full time employment with Alethea began September 13, 2021. Ms. Otis left Alethea prior to that period. To my knowledge, she has not been employed with Alethea since that time.” “My work with Alethea Group as a consultant (summer 2021) was narrowly focused on my subject matter expertise related to Russia,” she continued. “I conducted Russian language translation and provided cultural analysis. When I joined Alethea as an employee (fall 2021) my work was entirely focused on public products: Changes to Alethea’s website, editing public reports, liaising with media, etc.” Is Nina lying? According to Shellenberger et. al, “that claim contradicts Alethea’s Statement of Work contract with Twitter, which lists her as “Technical Research Director” for work relating to Twitter’s management of misinformation during the 2020 election, and specifically a “retrospective analysis of how then President Trump or other key figures may have violated Twitters [sic] policies, or otherwise leveraged the platform in a way that may have contributed to key events…” Alethea Group founder, Lisa Kaplan, told us that Jankowicz “was never given the title Technical Research Director, that is a reference to a labor category for a contract.” Added Kaplan, “We respect client confidentiality and do not discuss relationships with our customers. In reviewing Nina’s timesheets she did provide support to one client that I cannot disclose, however I can confirm that while she was employed as the Director for External Affairs, Nina never conducted work at Alethea on behalf of Twitter.”When shown the Statement of Work listing her as “Supplier Personnel,”  Jankowicz said, “I have never seen this document before. A statement of work is generally a speculative document that informs clients of potential staffing and work plans. They are usually crafted to allow contractors a degree of flexibility in implementation by listing staff even if they are not assigned to a particular project in case they might do future work for that project. I assume this is what happened in this case.”In fact, the Statement of Work between Alethea and Twitter was a formal contract between the two firms, signed by Alethea’s Founder and CEO and Twitter’s Senior Director and Associate General Counsel, and the contract specifies, “Any changes to the above listed Personnel must be approved by Twitter in writing.” There is no record in the Twitter Files of any change to the project’s personnel. -Public Jankowicz defended herself, telling Public: “Ms. Otis and I were friends and colleagues prior to my short stint there and remain friends and colleagues. Yes, I knew Ms. Otis had worked — emphasis on the past tense — at the CIA. That does not constitute a ‘relationship’ with the intelligence community.“ Peiter “Mudge” Zatko (Getty Images) Following a phishing attack on Twitter employees in July of 2020 which resulted in Joe Biden’s account tweeting “I am giving back to the community.

Ted “provides counsel to the U.S. intelligence community, serves on the Board of Trustees at InQTel [the CIA’s mission-driven venture capital firm] and was recently named as a board member of the CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee.” Is this the same Alethea whose board member Ted Schlein "provides counsel to the US intelligence community" and serves on the Board of CIA's Venture Capital firm InQTel?https://t.co/JbmnsW3F9jhttps://t.co/DVUip7QEWs https://t.co/hW1qUH4IK1— zerohedge (@zerohedge) March 17, 2023 In 2022, IQT published a report describing its “Disinformation Workshop,” which recommended several activities similar to those Alethea has offered, including “Track the confluence of bad narratives.” Schlein can neither confirm nor deny… According to the Wall Street Journal, a full one-third of IQT investments were secret as of 2016. The Journal also reported that Schlein had at least one connection to a firm in which IQT invested, and that was over seven years ago.“I do not know Zatko, Jankowicz or Otis. Lisa is the CEO of Alethea and I serve on her board of directors,” Schlein told us.

We're supposed to believe the stunning rise in rates of ADHD diagnosis is simply a result of better detection methods and growing awareness Every now and then, when I think back on my school days, distant memory though they may be, I ask myself, “What would I have been diagnosed with if I had been at school today?” It’s not an idle question. School life for my mates and me was blissfully untroubled by diagnoses of any sort. None of us had depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD or anything you’d find in a medical textbook or a TikTok PSA. Of course, the full range of human experience was on display during those years. We skipped lessons and scrapped and chased girls and did our best to pay attention to anybody except the teachers, but none of us was ever taken to a doctor because our parents or teachers thought we needed to be medicated. Which isn’t to say that there wasn’t some pretty worrying behaviour on display. For example, there was a boy who had such bad anxiety about his final exams—he was due to go to Oxford—that his parents had to take away the lightbulbs in his bedroom to prevent him from revising through the night. So he got a flashlight…Save 40% on Ultimate Fish Oil today and improve your supplement routine & experience the world-renowned powerhouse formula! I suppose you could class that as pretty bad anxiety, but he got through it, in the end, without medication, and went off to the dreaming spires of Oxford. Actually, now I think about it, there was a boy who joined later on, when I was about sixteen, who apparently did have an autism diagnosis. He really was like the Rain Man—not that any of us had seen that film, of course. When this chap wasn’t demonstrating his mathematical or IT wizardry, he was jamming his fingers in his ears and singing at the top of his lungs or windmilling punches through the changing rooms after sports practice. But as far as we were concerned, he was just a weird kid: somebody who might help you with your maths homework in exchange for a couple of slices of toast from the canteen, but not somebody you’d otherwise associate with. One kid in a thousand. How things have changed today. A new study that I reported on earlier today shows that one in nine American children have now received a diagnosis of ADHD. That’s seven million children. What’s more, approximately a million more children aged 3-17 received a diagnosis in 2022 than in 2016. The rate of diagnosis is increasing—drastically. The results of the new study were taken from analysis of the 2022 National Survey of Children’s Health. They show that the estimated prevalence of ADHD is significantly higher in the US than in other countries. According to the study authors, increased awareness of the condition is probably the cause of the increase in diagnoses. That means there’s no reason to worry. We’re just discovering kids who have the condition but wouldn’t have been picked up five or ten or twenty years ago. “Public awareness of ADHD has changed over time. ADHD was historically described as an externalizing disorder with a focus on easily observable hyperactive-impulsive symptoms, and was thought to primarily affect boys,” the authors say. “With increased awareness of symptoms related to attention regulation, ADHD has been increasingly recognized in girls, adolescents, and adults. Moreover, ADHD has previously been diagnosed at lower rates among children in some racial and ethnic minority groups. With increased awareness, such gaps in diagnoses have been narrowing or closing.” The authors also say that the pandemic is likely to have brought the condition into focus—which would explain the massive jump in diagnoses in 2022 as compared to 2016—because parents were forced to have their children at home and manage their education themselves. It was only then, the thinking goes, that parents realised their children had problems concentrating and motivating themselves while mummy and daddy work remotely from the room next door. Forgive me, but I’m not convinced. For one thing, the conditions and stresses of the pandemic were unique and we can’t assume that any behaviour displayed by children during that unprecedented period of, well, mass psychological warfare was typical. Of course young children, locked up in their homes, isolated from their friends, told they’re at risk not just of catching a deadly virus but spreading it to their loved ones and maybe killing them—none of which they could ever have hoped to understand—are going to act up. And most children, especially boys, don’t want to be in a classroom in the first place, let alone on the end of a six-hour Zoom call with their female teacher—whom they probably hate, with good reason—when the comforts of home are all around them. If children suddenly appeared incapable of learning during the pandemic, it wasn’t because they had lost their minds: it was because the world around them had. But even without the extraordinary events of the pandemic, which we know were a disaster for children’s mental and physical health across the board, it’s clear that the rise in rates of diagnosis of ADHD and other similar conditions is not “normal.” There is no reason to believe, as the new study’s authors want us to, that we’re simply diagnosing more people because diagnostic procedures and public awareness have improved. I realise that this is a complex problem. I don’t think there’s a single explanation for the shocking rise in mental-health conditions among young people, or indeed for the rise of any form of ill health in the Developed World. But one place we could—and should—look is food. American children between the ages of two and five now get 58% of their daily calories from ultra-processed food. The only place where young children eat worse is the UK, where a full two-thirds of calories for toddlers come from processed food. This garbage, which some food scientists believe shouldn’t even be classified as food but instead as a “food-like substance,” has been linked to every single one of the prevailing diseases of modernity, from diabetes and obesity, to cancer and Alzheimer’s. Barely a week passes without some new study warning us of the terrible effects of consuming even small quantities of processed food. One study I like to quote shows that lab rats fed processed food for just four weeks lose their memory and stop displaying “anticipatory fear” in response to danger cues, such as the scent of a cat. Simply put, these foods are toxic to whatever animal has the misfortune to eat them. Studies are now substantiating a clear link between processed-food consumption and autism and ADHD, mainly through disturbance of the gut microbiome, the vital ecosystem of microorganisms that populates our guts. Exactly how vital you can judge from the fact that experts now call the gut and its microbes “the second brain.” The microbes in our gut don’t just help digest our food: they regulate our hormones, including testosterone, and they release neurotransmitters that directly affect our moods and thought processes. If you disturb the gut microbiome, you’re in for trouble, brain and body. And that’s exactly what processed foods, with their myriad additives and novel ingredients, do. Common colorings and anti-caking agents, for example, are extremely toxic to beneficial bacteria. Studies show that children with disturbed gut microbiomes are more likely to display the symptoms of autism and ADHD. A large-scale study of 16,000 children in Sweden, for example, showed that disturbances to gut flora early in life are linked to later onset of both conditions. Another study shows that overgrowth of a common fungus in the gut, Candida albicans, again as a result of gut dysbiosis, may be implicated in ADHD. Like I say, this is just one potential factor, but given the quantities of processed food children now eat, I’m prepared to say it’s likely to be an important one. There are probably a wealth of other factors contributing to this mess, not least of all the process of diagnosis, which isn’t anywhere near as objective as your average physician would like you to believe. Another recent study suggested that the youngest children in a school year are 80% more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, probably because, being the youngest, they have a much harder time keeping up than the oldest, and so their failure to learn is interpreted as a condition. This is a pattern that’s visible in diagnosis of a wide variety of conditions among children, including depression, anxiety, psychosis and even insomnia. In response to RFK Jr.’s presidential announcement last year and the challenge of an explicitly health-focused campaign, Donald Trump announced that, if he wins the election, he will launch a presidential commission into chronic diseases, to investigate precisely why so many Americans are now so sick. Such an investigation is now long overdue, and whether it will ever materialise remains anybody’s guess, but we owe it to ourselves, and most of all to our children, to get to the bottom of the problem, one way or another. This is not normal. The Silent Weather War On Humanity
