[PJ] Well, what have we here? Just when we thought that First Crackhead Hunter Biden would escape any kind of justice with his sweetheart plea deal, Delaware Federal District Judge Maryellen Noreika came sweeping in like Superman to stand up for truth, justice, and the American way.
Okay, so I might be blowing things out of proportion a little with that characterization, but the fact that Judge Noreika rejected the plea deal means that Hunter Biden might actually see some accountability for his actions. True, he did plead not guilty to the tax charges, and the cards are stacked against Lady Justice when it comes to the Biden Crime Syndicate, but Wednesday’s developments do give us a glimmer of hope.
Judge Noreika might have made her way onto quite a few conservatives’ Christmas card lists — my friend and colleague Athena Thorne called her the "bravest judge ever" in a Slack chat — because she asked many of the questions that we’ve been asking about that unreal plea deal.
Athena reports that Noreika "questioned lawyers during the hearing about her many concerns: Why was the deal presented to her as a binding plea with global immunity, the terms of which she could not modify? Why was a tax plea linked to a firearms charge? What about FARA charges for Biden, who had clearly been acting as a foreign agent? Noreika asked if Hunter Biden was still under investigation and was told he was. She also noted that the diversion program deal was ’unusual,’ saying it included ’non-standard terms’ like ’broad immunity’ from other potential charges."

^Mercutio, my brother sent me a link to the tweet this morning. I expect that everything will be delayed and that Joe will wallpaper his family and himself in pardons on his way out the door. I would subpoena Hunter at this point to force the pardon early.

Seems like more than just the tax code has too many pages in it. That plea vs "diversion" business is arcane and clearly written in the first place to be gamed.

Under subpoena Hunter would plead the 5th, but you could read him the laundry list of all his crimes including his naked underage crack smoke. An infantile addict is not going to control his body language during the recitation of his sins. They might try executive privilege but Hunter is not an advisor to his father unless he hires him - boy howdy that would be a mistake. Executive privilege does not cover the pre-presidential bribes, regardless.
Next would be the stage I think of as The outrage of Whoppie. The strategy for this stage is to make the Hunter surrogate admit that they are supporting a trafficker.
There would then be a short intermission in the process that I would use the bring in Merrick Garland to get him on tape refusing to answer the same litany. You could do the same with Wray just for fun.
Next would be The Love of The Father stage where Joe does the pardon to stop the persecution of his beloved son.
The final stage is to subpoena the now squeaky clean fully pardoned Hunter who cannot plead the 5th. This stage puts Joe out the door.

[HOT AIR] I have written a couple times about the de-banking scandal in the UK, where Coutts Bank apparently has dropped thousands of customers for being politically incorrect.
This came to light because they took on a target too big to ignore: Nigel Farage, a GBN broadcaster and leader in the Brexit movement. He had been a member of the European Parliament and founded the UK Independence Party, which transformed into the Brexit Party.
In other words, Farage is a big deal in Britain. Lots of people love him, and lots of people hate him, including every single member of the establishment.
Britons, though, hated that Farage and other people with views unpopular to the establishment could simply be exiled from the modern economy based upon the whims of bank executives, so scandal erupted and the fallout is still raining down.
But as with so many bad ideas that originate in Europe, the US is a follower, and de-banking has come to the US. There have been attempts in recent years to move in this direction—famously the credit card companies tried to identify gun purchases for the government by flagging every single gun and ammo purchase, but they retreated some due to a backlash.
But the process moves forward. Chase is now quietly dropping customers for political reasons.
If you don’t know Mercola, he is a doctor on the fringe of natural medicine. I have been aware of him for a while, and without knowing much about him I have gathered that many think he is something of a crank.
Well, that describes quite a few people and is hardly a reason to make him a non-person. If you think he is a crank, say so. Don’t throw him out of the economy. There are no allegations of illegal or unethical activities, only wrongthink.
My guess is that there are already hundreds of Americans in this position, and as with Britain it will take some high-profile cancelations to garner attention. Mercola has a following, and it probably crosses party lines. But I am not sure whether his profile is sufficient to garner sufficient attention to prompt Congressional interest.
In the United States, the common thread among the victims seems to be COVID dissent. Being spreaders of "misinformation" is apparently the offense that will get you booted.
As expected, the social credit system is already here and gearing up.
Some tactics of foreign influence include leveraging misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation. Definitions for each are below.
Misinformation is false, but not created or shared with the intention of causing harm.
Disinformation is deliberately created to mislead, harm, or manipulate a person, social group, organization, or country.
Malinformation is based on fact, but used out of context to mislead, harm, or manipulate. An example of malinformation is editing a video to remove important context to harm or mislead.
Foreign actors use misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation campaigns to cause chaos, confusion, and division. These malign actors are seeking to interfere with and undermine our democratic institutions and national cohesiveness.

Not sure I'd call Mercola a crank. Definitely an outlier and one of the first to blow the whistle on the Covid Scam. So he's made enemies. He was pretty respected in the alt health world for years, though I have the feeling that a need to market over research is driving his business more than I like.

[FreePress] David Volodzko criticized Lenin in ’The Seattle Times.’ Now he is without a job. A story of profound intolerance in our country’s most "tolerant" city.
I was just fired from my job at The Seattle Times after defending Hitler. The only problem is, I never defended Hitler. In fact, my family was hunted by the Nazis; my grandfather was a Nazi killer who later almost died in a concentration camp; and some of my best journalistic work has been exposing neo-Nazi lies. But if you want to hear a story about the intolerance in our country’s "most tolerant" city and the erosion of civil discourse in American life, read on.
I began my career as a university lecturer of English and logic. Then, drawn by the need to tell stories of structural oppression, I switched to journalism. I have been a journalist for the past 15 years and have spent almost all of my adult life in Asia—four years in Japan, six in South Korea, three in China, one year traveling Southeast Asia, and two in Nepal and India, where for a short period I was homeless in Mumbai. But that’s another story. My work has largely focused on East Asian politics and culture—everything from sexism in South Korea to the terrifying rise of Nazi chic in Mongolia. I wrote about North Korean refugees and Europe’s racist opposition to the Syrian refugee crisis. While living in Israel, I wrote about Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier who was held by Hamas for five years until he was released in a prisoner exchange in 2011.

They completely turned around what Gutfeld said. He was responding to Jessica Tarlov's assertion that Jews in concentration camps learned skills just like slaves did. What he said was the Jews didn't learn skills, they skilled people survived because they already had the skills. If you didn't have a skill useful to the Nazis you died. That's what he said.

[Regnum] The third term of Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the head of the party and state, which began last fall, looked like his triumph from the very beginning. The opposition has been purged, the degree of control over the political elite is undeniable, big capital has also been brought under control, and Beijing's influence in the foreign arena is greater than ever under the Communist rule. Unlike previous years, when among the leaders of the highest bodies of the party and state there were many those who went to Xi Jinping “by inheritance”, as a result of complex inter-factional agreements, this time a team of loyal associates. It would seem that in the personnel issue, to which Xi Jinping pays special attention, there will be no punctures. However, as the events of the last month showed, something did not go according to plan.
[Don Surber] Maryellen Noreika put in 25 years at Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell in Wilmington, Delaware, specializing in patent law. The things that bore most people to tears are where the money is, aren’t they? The medium is the message, but the tedium is the jackpot.
She sought and received a nomination to the federal bench in 2017 from both Biden-approved Democrat senators in her state. Trump nominated her and she easily won a Republican-run Senate’s confirmation on a voice vote.
Judge Noreika did what was expected of her. In March, she tossed John Paul Mac Isaac’s defamation case against CNN, Politico, and Hunter Biden. Isaac was the computer repairman who had taken Hunter’s laptop to the FBI, which promptly refused to investigate.
So naturally when she got Hunter’s criminal case for failing to pay taxes on his bribes and a gun felony, people assumed the fix was in. The Biden administration offered a sweetheart plea deal with Hunter and the Biden-approved judge would simply rubber-stamp.
Yesterday, she didn’t. She said she needed more time to review the deal that we mere mortals would never dream of receiving if we failed to pay $100,000 a year in taxes.
It is a temporary setback, sure. The two sides will patch the holes in their agreement and resubmit it next month.
Nevertheless, Judge Noreika became the first person in Robert Hunter Biden’s life to tell him no. Since childhood, when he got in trouble, his father the senator (and later vice president and now president) would use his position to bail him out.
For example, Biden used his VP gig to get sonny in the Navy Reserves despite being too old. And when sonny was caught doing cocaine, he was allowed to resign his commission instead of going to jail.
But the judge is not playing that game — for now.
From Planet NYT, there was this New York Times report: "A deal for Hunter Biden to plead guilty to a pair of misdemeanor tax charges while avoiding prosecution on a gun charge hit a last-minute snag, with the judge in the case unexpectedly putting off her decision.
"The federal judge overseeing the case, Maryellen Noreika, deferred her decision on approving the deal between Mr. Biden and federal prosecutors on Wednesday afternoon — the latest twist in a politically charged case that seemed to have been sewn up just hours earlier."
So much for the press holding the powerful in Washington accountable.
AP’s spin made my head hurt. I seldom take aspirin. I was ready to swallow a bottle after reading this from AP: "The collapsed proceedings were a surprising development in the yearslong investigation, and a resolution that had been carefully negotiated over several weeks and included a lengthy back-and-forth between Justice Department prosecutors and Biden’s attorneys.
"The plea deal was meant to clear the air for Hunter Biden and avert a trial that would have generated weeks or months of distracting headlines. But the politics remain as messy as ever, with Republicans insisting he got a sweetheart deal and the Justice Department pressing ahead on investigations into Trump, the GOP’s 2024 presidential primary front-runner."
So AP is whining about headlines distracting from its planned wall-to-wall coverage of Biden’s persecution of Trump.
The deal the Biden administration gave Hunter is off for now.
Politico reported, "After pressing both sides for details about the plea deal, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika adjourned the hearing so that the two sides could refine and clarify the agreement — under which Biden had planned to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax offenses and likely avoid punishment on a felony gun charge.
"At the end of the tumultuous three-hour hearing, Biden instead wound up pleading not guilty to all three charges, and the judge postponed further proceedings, likely for a month or more.
"The proposed deal between Biden and the Justice Department — the outline of which was announced last month — isn’t dead. But prosecutors and Biden’s lawyers will now have to satisfy Noreika’s concerns about technical aspects of the deal and her own role in enforcing a so-called pretrial diversion agreement, under which Biden would avoid prison time on the gun charge if he remains drug-free for two years and doesn’t break any other laws.
"If Noreika ultimately approves the deal, Biden will be able to withdraw the not guilty pleas he entered on Wednesday. He would then replace them with guilty pleas on the tax charges, and DOJ would defer prosecution on the gun charge."
That cold water Politico threw should keep you cool this afternoon when it hits 90 outside. The deal is delayed, not dead. Still, it is refreshing to hear someone tell this coke-addled ne’er-do-well no.
And there is some hope that she may stick to her guns next month when the two sides — and technically there are two sides — work out a new agreement not to treat Hunter like the common criminal and agent for Ukraine and Red China.
ABC reported, "The three-hour hearing featured several turbulent interludes. Noreika’s line of questioning about the possible immunity agreement exposed fissures between the two parties, and the discussion culminated in prosecutors threatening to bring charges under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
"That prompted Chris Clark, an attorney for Biden, to say: ’As far as I'm concerned, the plea agreement is null and void’ — stirring the courtroom into audible gasps.
"After a brief recess, the parties moved past those disagreements. Clark acquiesced to the government's position that any immunity of Hunter Biden would only include tax, firearm, and drug-related conduct investigated by the government.
"For the next 30 minutes, the parties fell into a pattern of negotiation, consulting in the middle of the courtroom with opposing counsel, retreating to their corners to discuss, and repeating.
"At one point, a visibly frazzled Clark approached prosecutors with arms stretched wide, threatening to ’rip it up’ and looking to U.S. Attorney David Weiss, another Trump appointee. ’Does anyone want to talk about this?’ Clark said."
Answer: Yes, every single person who has been prosecuted for far less than bribery, tax evasion, and gun charges would love to talk to Clark, his client and his client’s daddy about this.
The judge made it possible to stop Hunter from escaping justice once again. And for that, I am grateful.

[BEE] WASHINGTON, D.C. — The media and general public were collectively unsure how to respond today, as a visiting "alien commander" from space held a press conference to ask the people of Earth to provide his planet with $40 billion in foreign aid, though witnesses said the being bore more than a passing resemblance to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wearing an alien mask from Spirit Halloween.
"Please, you must help our country — er, I mean our planet," the extra-terrestrial leader said in what sounded like a thick Ukrainian accent. "We are engaged in a noble struggle against evil invaders from Ru — from the Nargad Galaxy. Please, we need every dollar you can spare."
The appearance of the alien commander came on the heels of congressional hearings on Capitol Hill about evidence of UFOs and the existence of extraterrestrial life. The creature arrived unannounced and scheduled a press briefing to address the media. "I know the Americans will help us," he said. "The United States has helped — er, will help us so greatly by sending all taxpayer money to us. It is most appreciated. Thank you."
When asked why the flesh-colored skin tone of his arms did not match his green, alien head, the commander quickly ended the press conference and scurried away to hop into a black SUV with a Ukrainian flag on the license plate.
At publishing time, President Joe Biden had already pledged $40 billion to the commander, with an additional $80 million to follow next month.
[BabylonBee] WILMINGTON, DE — A strange cocaine-like substance discovered at a federal court Wednesday definitely did not belong to Hunter Biden despite it being found on his courtroom chair. The Secret Service detail charged with protecting the president's son says the illegal-like substance was probably left by "a tour group or something."
"Courtrooms have tours, right? From kids on a field trip, maybe? I bet it was one of them," said Special Agent Phil Quench.
Hunter, who appeared in court to plead not guilty to charges he was guilty of, has emphatically denied possessing the illicit substance. "I don't do drugs," Hunter said before excusing himself to use the restroom for the fifth time that morning. "Stay in school, kids!"
Secret Service agents performed a preliminary investigation before opening the courtroom to local authorities with strict instructions to not look into the matter further. "The powder-like substance came from somewhere, but we'll probably never know who left it. So don't bother," Agent Quench said.
"I'd hate for something to happen to you."
At publishing time, a blow-like substance had left a trail leading directly from the courthouse to Hunter Biden's home. The Secret Service posited it was probably planted by Russians.

[AMERICANTHINKER] I'm not a religious person, but I had the luck to sing Mozart's Requiem Mass in a community chorus, and I suppose I fell in love with it. The Western choral tradition is unbelievably wonderful, which is why Japan has its own dedicated choral society just to sing the choral movement of Beethoven's Ninth. If you hadn't noticed, "Western culture" is now global, not because other cultures have been coerced into adopting what the left calls "imperialism," but because humans can't be stopped from loving what they love. European music of the last five centuries is loved all over the web, and it's a willing love and admiration, not a Politburo command.
So now I read that the current Pope, who calls himself Francis, is dead set on dumping the Latin Mass.
Well, who cares?
I'm not religious.
But I'm outraged by this Pope's disregard of Mozart, Beethoven, and Rachmaninoff, to name only a few.
I don't know why I take this personally, but I do.
In the last century it was the atheist totalitarians who massacred the priests and the devout laity by the millions, Jews, Christians, and Moslems (as in China today). But weirdly enough, in Soviet-era Moscow, the Ministry of Culture kept running fabulous performances of sacred works that even the most malignant ideologues had to admire. They were called "uncultured" if they didn't come to see the heights of Russian and European culture -- which is maybe 90 percent religious in inspiration.
It's tough, but it's true. The Communist elites in Moscow lived a double life (as Russians have always done), the life of politically correct obedience, and the secret life of the heart. Like many Catholics do today.
I don't have a vote in the Catholic world, but I secretly believe that Pope Francis ...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess... is the Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. SOld, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?... of the Church.
My total guess as an outsider is that Francis has two big problems with the Latin Mass.
One is that the Mass is in Latin, which people love without knowing why, just as devout Jews love Biblical Hebrew and Moslems love Classical Arabic.
The second problem from the Pope's point of view is that the Mass is a worship ceremony with very ancient roots, going back to the Hebrew scriptures and the Christian New Testament, but before that to even more ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian beliefs. Which had even older roots in human cultures emerging, not just 6,000 years ago, but hundreds of thousands of years, as we can tell from sacred gravesites from the early Stone Age onward.
So - Pope Francis is trying to erase and "modernize" human nature, as if he has learned nothing from a century of Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and all the idealistic destroyers who ended up being buried themselves, while their ancient traditions sprang back to life, like prairie grass after a rainstorm.
We buried Khrushchev and not the other way around. Pope Francis apparently did not notice that, but we can.
So, I'm placing my bets on Mozart and his endless creativity, which he believed to be a gift from God. Almost every great composer in Western history composed some final work as a last personal gift, but also as a last prayer for redemption.
Take that, Pope Francis. The Latin mass was around for most of the Roman Church's history. There wasn't any secret to it. Missals came printed in two columns, the Latin on the left, the local language on the right. If you could read, you could understand. If you went to church on Sunday in New York, you heard the same mass that was being conducted in Rome, Saigon, Oslo, or Goa.There was also continuity; you were participating in the same mass your parents had, your grandparents, your great grandparents and so on.

[Liberty] It sounds like bad science fiction, but it is rapidly becoming reality. Some of the most powerful people on the planet think they are going to "upgrade" human beings.
It sounds like bad science fiction, but it is rapidly becoming reality. Some of the most powerful people on the planet think they are going to "upgrade" human beings — or at least some human beings — through genetic engineering and technological schemes such as "brain implants." Yes, really. In fact, they are publicly touting alleged benefits, supposedly including eternal life, and even evolving into "gods."
If that all sounds crazy or even diabolical — good, it should, because it is. And yet, the technologies to make some of these nightmarish visions possible are progressing so fast it would make your brain spin. In some cases, the tech already exists. Meanwhile, children around the world are being prepared to embrace it through public schools and "entertainment."
World Economic Forum chief Klaus Schwab, the global frontman for the so-called "Great Reset," has been celebrating it all for years as part of what he calls the "Fourth Industrial Revolution." In his book on the subject and in speeches, Schwab outlined a plan to merge people with computer technologies, brain implants, and even to genetically "improve" them.
"Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies will not stop at becoming part of the physical world around us — they will become part of us," Schwab writes in his book Shaping the Future of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a narrative that he has been peddling for almost a decade in speeches, articles, essays, and books. "Indeed, some of us already feel that our smartphones have become an extension of ourselves."
A foundational documents of our time, cybernetics pioneer Norbert Wiener on Communication, Control, and the Morality of Our Machines.
Only a few books stand as landmarks in social and scientific upheaval. Norbert Wiener's classic is one in that small company. Founder of the science of cybernetics—the study of the relationship between computers and the human nervous system... His book examines the implications of cybernetics for education, law, language, science, technology, as he anticipates the enormous impact—in effect, a third industrial revolution—that the computer has had on our lives.

May I direct your attention to the video game Syndicate.
Gameplay for the original Syndicate games involved ordering a team of four cyborg agents around gritty cyberpunk-themed cities, in pursuit of mission goals, such as assassinating executives of a rival syndicate, rescuing captured allies, "persuading" civilians and scientists to join the corporation/church, demolishing buildings, or killing enemy agents. Unlike some games, which either punish the player for civilian deaths or reward them for violent actions committed, Syndicate remains indifferent. The player must collect funds to finance the research and development of new weaponry and cyborg upgrades, such as by taxing conquered territories (in the original game) or robbing banks (in Syndicate Wars).
And now the Persuadatron is no long Sci-Fi, it seems.

[Regnum] In the Syrian city of Jaraman, not far from Damascus, on Sunday night there were armed clashes between various groups of the population. The suburb, home to hundreds of thousands of residents, is located east of the capital Damascus and is directly adjacent to the East Ghouta region. The number of its inhabitants has increased many times in recent years. A significant part of the population of Jaramana are Syrian Druze (a special ethno-confessional community), including those who migrated from the province of Al-Suwayda, as well as Palestinian and Iraqi refugees, most of whom were born or raised in Syria, as well as other Syrians, including displaced persons from occupied Syrian Golan.

I can smell the fakes:
Author writes in Cyrillic but is graduate of University of Florida, and is a Davis United World College (UWC) Scholar.
Guy uses thousands of words to describe the partition of Syria, and a main arc of the "The situation is close to disaster" is to conclude: THE COUNTRY NEEDS REFORM.
No mention of the Persians, Turks, Jiahadis/Moslem Brotherhood, Americans, and Russians that are all jockeying for positions in Syria. Never mind that. Country needs reform, as the author states,
"The problems that led to the revolutionary situation in 2011 were never resolved during the war."
Nope. Muslim Brotherhood Jiahadis still have a stronghold in Hama. Decades of jiahadi unrest. They were bombed by Assad's father in 1982, and the most recent civil war basically conflagrated in Hama 2012.
