[EpochTimes] More than 3,000 fake COVID-19 vaccination cards from China have been seized by federal agents in Memphis, Tennessee, en route to other cities in the United States.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) caught a shipment from Shenzhen, China, to New Orleans that contained 51 blank counterfeit vaccination cards, CBP said in an Aug. 13 statement.
"It was the 15th such shipment of the night," the statement reads.
The FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... stated on March 30 that buying, selling, or using counterfeit COVID-19 vaccination cards is a crime, and violators will face a fine and up to five years in prison.
White House coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... response coordinator Jeff Zients also said on Aug. 13 that it’s "a crime" to falsify COVID-19 vaccination cards, amid new restrictions set by several major cities.
After New York City announced that it would mandate vaccine passports at certain businesses starting next month and as a growing number of colleges and universities across the country are requiring vaccination for students to attend in-person classes, there has been a surge in the fraudulent documents.
FAKE CARDS
"This fiscal year to date, Memphis has made 121 seizures totaling 3,017 of these vaccination cards," the CBP statement reads. "They are always from China."
The shipments were all described as "Paper Greeting Cards/Use For-Greeting Card" or "PAPER PAPER CARD."
"The cards have blanks for the recipient’s name and birthdate, the vaccine maker, lot number, and date and place the shot was given, as well as the Centers for Disease Control [and Prevention] (CDC) logo in the upper right corner," the statement reads.
But CBP officers knew the cards were fake because "it was imported by a non-CDC or medical entity, and this was not the first time they had seen this shipper."
Why go to the Black market?
The US Media has provided the world with 100's to full color hi-res digital photos of both sides and even samples of the data used on the cards.
Heck Wisc. about 4+ months ago, posted clean printable imagines of C-19 VAX cards on its State-Gov site.
So anyone with a photo quality Color printer could use Wally World store bought 80 lbs bond paper. Print up Fake ID's, good enough to get past Stores and restaurants.
But remember the state and most likely the Fed's are tracking actual VAX'd taken card holders.

So, lessee. What percentage of the illegal drugs does USGOV successfully interdict? What percentage of fake luxury items? What percentage of substandard Chinese-made aviation hardware? Going on that, how many of these fake cards are now in circulation? They're not like credit cards or drivers licenses with holograms. Pretty much any print shop could make em. Hell, you could probably make them yourself with a laser printer that can handle medium card stock.

And, as I have asked before, how long before I, carrying a legitimate vaxx card that I was issued when I did get vaccinated, am arrested for 'possession of a falsified document" because it would be so damn easy you just about have to believe that was the plan all along?

If there isn't a law, how can this be against the law?
"it was imported by a non-CDC or medical entity, and this was not the first time they had seen this shipper."
Get'chr fake cards only from approved sources. I'm just sure getting your $100 bill at the McDonald's Jab and Drive Thru is immaculate in its records.

I have been flummoxxed trying to find the crime of possessing a document regarding vax status, not used as a form of identification for any other purpose. As I understand it, the crime associated with fake Vaxx cards is the illegal use of an official government seal, nothing to do with your vax status. SO a subtle altering of the seal on the fake card should render that moot, thereby being defense against arrest. Anyone who is actually a lawyer have an opinion?
[NYPOST] At least 16 people were maimed in a series of shootings across the Big Apple in about a two-hour span on Sunday night — including eight struck in one incident on the grounds of a Brooklyn public housing complex, authorities said.
The bloodshed began minutes before 11 p.m. Sunday when three men were struck by gunfire on Westgate Street near 140th Avenue in Springfield Gardens, according to cops.
A 20-year-old man was shot in the right shoulder, a 23-year-old man in the left leg and a 27-year-old man shot in the lower back, police said. All three were taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in stable, pH balanced condition.
About 40 minutes later, another man, 32, was shot on Nostrand Avenue near Park Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, cops said.
He is also listed in stable, pH balanced condition.
Then around 12:15 a.m. Monday, a 20-year-old man was shot in the face during a traffic dispute on 101st Avenue near 90th Street in Ozone Park, Queens, police said.
He was taken to the Kings County Hospital Center, also with non-life-threatening injuries.
Back in Bedford-Stuyvesant, eight people — five women and three men — were shot on Dekalb Avenue near Marcus Garvey Boulevard, on the grounds of NYCHA’s Roosevelt Houses, around 12:30 a.m., according to sources.
"We have a large group of people gathered in front of 927 DeKalb listening to music," NYPD Deputy Chief John Chell said during an early-morning presser. "We have approximately two shooters that come off of Pulaski Street, and fire into this crowd."
A 22-year-old woman was grazed in the nose, two women, 21 and 19, shot in the thigh, an 18-year-old woman struck in the shoulder, another 18-year-old woman hit in the stomach, two men, 23 and 27, shot in the shoulder, and an 18-year-old man blasted in the right hip, authorities said.
All were taken to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
An officer from the 81st Precinct was down the block when he heard the shots, Chell said. Numerous 911 callers reported the gunfire, he said.
Three more people — including a 16-year-old boy — were shot at about 12:40 a.m. inside a Mercedes-Benz at Schenck Avenue and Atlantic Avenue in Cypress Hills, cops said.
The 16-year-old, who was shot in the head, is listed at death's door, cops said.
The two other victims, an 18-year-old man blasted in the arm and a 19-year-old woman struck in the leg, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The victims were taken to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, cops said.
No arrests were immediately reported in the shootings.
"Listen, anytime there’s a shooting, it’s a red flag," Chell told news hounds of the string of shootings. "Whether these are connected, we don’t believe so, but that remains to be seen also. And, you know, we’ll be working through that to see if there’s any connections."

Amateurs. Sixteen shot is a warm spring day in Chicago.

Atlantic Tropical Season has been filled with lots of named storms (three are currently active) but relatively weak ones. TS Fred fits that profile - some areas will get a lot of rain, almost no storm surge, almost no wind damage.

[All Africa] Human rights groups have warmly welcomed the official clarification made by The Gambia ... The Gambia is actually surrounded by The Senegal on all sides but its west coast. It has a population of about 1.7 million. The difference between the two is that in colonial days Senegal was ruled by La Belle France and The Gambia (so-called because there's only one of it, unlike Guinea, of which there are the Republic of Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, New Guinea, the English coin in circulation between 1663 and 1813, and Guyana, which sounds like it should be another one) was ruled by Britain... government elucidating that the administration of President Adama Barrow is not in any way involving or participating in the former Gambian dictator's returning to the country.
They described the formal announcement as "calming and reassuring".
Labelling the report of Yahya Jammeh's return as "totally false", The Gambia government also said that it is not part of the so-called "Malabu Declaration".
Already, Human Rights Watch has outlined that "Yahya Jammeh's 22-year rule was marked by "widespread abuses including forced disappearance, extra judicial killings and arbitrary detention", thus the campaign to bring "Yahya Jammeh to justice without further delay" is now gathering momentum.
Document seen by The Point "On the purported return of the ex-Gambian dictator" revealed: "It is the duty of the Gambian government to promote and protect all human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... ... to avoid the source of conflict especially during an election year... respect fundamental rights of Yahya Jammeh's victims by prosecuting him and his associates... regardless of any political, economic and cultural issues".
It disclosed further: "For the interest of peace and security in the country... as well as reassuring the diplomatic and donor community, the official announcement by the government of The Gambia is an important transition from tyranny to democracy".
Rights groups also noted that it is "significant and highly valued" for the Government of The Gambia to "take a clear stance and set the records straight" regarding the matter.
They described the Malabu Protocol as a "scam".
Consequently, right groups pointed out that the government's announcement that the so-called Protocol "only exist in the minds of rumour mongers and not in its diplomatic files is "truly reassuring."
Furthermore, TRIAL International also equally maintained that "Yahya Jammeh should never enjoy impunity from international law"; and therefore, the government's clarification on the matter is of "great significance."
Right groups said that "human rights are inherent to all human beings including Gambians, and are guaranteed by law; thus, the formal announcement is commendable.

[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] A young Chinese woman says she was held for eight days at a Chinese-run secret detention facility in Dubai along with at least two Uighurs, in what may be the first evidence that China is operating a so-called "black site" beyond its borders.The woman, Wu Huan, 26, was on the run to avoid extradition back to China because her fiancé was considered a Chinese dissident. Wu told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named she was kidnapped from a hotel in Dubai and detained by Chinese officials at a villa converted into a jail, where she saw or heard two other prisoners, both Uighurs.
She was questioned and threatened and forced to sign legal documents incriminating her fiancé Wang Jingyu, 19, for harassing her, she said. She was finally released on June 8 and is now seeking asylum in the Netherlands.
While "black sites" are common in China, Wu’s account is the only testimony known to experts that Beijing has set one up in another country. Such a site would reflect how China is increasingly using its international clout to detain or bring back citizens it wants from overseas, whether they are dissidents, corruption suspects, or ethnic minorities such as the Uighurs.

[BLOOMBERG] President Nicolás Maduro ...Commie el presidente para la vida of Venezuela, successor to Hugo Chavez. Nick is his country's attempt at producing a Muammar Qadaffy, except that even though his country's sitting on an enormous puddle of oil, he can't manage to get it out of the ground. Unlike Qadaffy and Hugo Chavez, he's not dead yet... said negotiations with the opposition to break a five-year political impasse in Venezuela ...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south... "got off to a good start," and that he will also propose direct talks with the U.S.
Maduro said discussing sanctions directly with the U.S. government is a pivotal issue he wants addressed in order to advance negotiations with the country’s opposition, which started in Mexico last week.
"The lifting of sanctions is central to us: it’s either that or nothing," Maduro said, speaking at a presser.
Maduro’s request is not included in the five-point memorandum of understanding signed last week to end years of political stalemate and help the nation to recover economically, which includes respect for political rights and the Constitution, an electoral timetable and guarantees, and an end to both state violence and sanctions.
Maduro said the Mexico talks over the weekend were "successful" so far. But in line with public events in the past, where he has demanded the normalization of diplomatic ties with the U.S., he said his delegation will request "direct" talks with the Joe Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know... at the negotiations mediated by Norway, which will resume Sept. 3-6.
Maduro hopes that such face-to-face talks will allow diplomatic representatives of both countries to return to their posts, and that partial agreements can be reached soon before the process ends, which could take months.
So far the White House has been reluctant to engage with the authoritarian leader.

[DefenceBlog] A prototype of the newest Russian IL-112V military light transport aircraft crashed during a flight in Kubinka outside Moscow.
The incident occurred during a training flight at the Kubinka air base. The cause of the crash is unknown.
Eyewitnesses report that the plane caught fire shortly before the crash.
All three crew members on board were killed when the Il-112V went down on Aug. 17. More at the link including a video of the last seconds of the flight
[ForeignBrief] A notable agenda item is deliberation on inserting additional national laws into Annex III of Hong Kong Basic Law. This allows for the possibility of adding China’s recent Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, which permits retaliatory measures by Beijing against anti-China sanctions. In China’s increasingly tit for tat foreign relations, applying the law would open the door for a measures to be taken against Western critics of Beijing’s crackdown on Hong Kong.
Expect the Standing Committee to propose including the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law in Annex III. Beijing has used the pandemic to further control the territory and remains unlikely to relent. Doing so increases Chinese leverage to respond to Western critics, but elevates aggression reserved for Hong Kong to the international level. The law will be unlikely to deter sanctions related to Hong Kong but would move the city closer to a breaking point in the long-term.
The love of my life and wife is from Taiwan. This post about an announcement by the Peoples Republic China shows me that Biden and the Democrats are happily sending her family - my in-laws - to hell. It was once nice to be a citizen of America but the demoncrat coup has turned it into hell. May an afterlife exist and all Demoncrats go to HELL.

3dc - My favorite actress is a Taiwan woman Lin Li-hui better known by her stage name as Shu Qi. She is one of the most badass martial arts actresses and a film of hers has won the best international film awards at the Caine Film Festival. Taiwan cinema is much better than Hollywood these days in my opinion.
My favorite singer is Russian, Natalia Tsarikova (Наталья Царикова) an accomplished Opera Singer but loves to tune up US Pop music.
The love of my life is a amazing Brazilian Amazon Beauty (because she grew up along the Amazon in the rain forests of Brazil).

Shu Qi is Taiwanese? I'm a fan too. Loved her in this Jackie Chan film, where he was wooing her. Also was in Transporter playing a damsel. Her lips... oh my!

Abandoning Taiwan to focus on more important areas is a common result in wargames when the participates are confronted with multiple crises at once.
Let's not ignore a lot of Taiwanese want reunification with the mainland. The KMT weren't exactly nice people. They ran a police state for decades.
#12
The power and money in Taiwan is probably finishing its exit plans. I would not be surprised if they handed Taiwan over to the PRC from their Swiss embassy in the near future. They have to know they cannot stand up to the PRC without confidence in massive US backing, which cannot be there anymore.

Maybe they plan on building a rocket-pad on the roof (like a heli-pad but more flame resistant). If Elon Musk can land a rocket on a boat, he can land a rocket on a building.
