White House Flags Art Industry for Money Laundering While Permitting Hunter to Sell Art to Anonymous Buyers

The White House flagged money laundering in the art industry on Monday as a point of corruption while allowing Hunter Biden to sell his artwork to anonymous buyers for as much as $500,000.

The first report of its kind named the United States Strategy on Countering Corruption is geared towards exploring the ways and means “government officials abuse public power for private gain.”

Though the White House’s report specifically focused on the art industry as a “market” where financial crimes occur, it did not mention the Biden family’s involvement with corruption, such as Hunter’s art selling scheme to investors while his father is president.

Hunter has reportedly sold multiple pieces of art for at least $75,000 this fall to anonymous buyers, and the New York Times reported first lady Jill Biden has allegedly displayed Hunter’s artwork in the White House.

Country Prompts Nationwide Parent Outrage With Child Vaccination Mandate

Parents in South Korea have expressed “anger” in recent days against a looming federal mandate that will require children aged 12 to 17 years to provide proof of vaccination against the Chinese coronavirus to enter public spaces “frequented by students, including cram schools, internet cafes, and public study rooms” starting in February, Yonhap reported Monday.

South Korea’s federal government announced on December 3 it would expand an existing coronavirus “vaccine pass” system to include anyone above the age of 12, beginning in February. The edict requires school-age children and teenagers “to present a certificate of vaccination against COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] or a negative test result to be allowed into restaurants, cafes and other multi-use facilities frequented by students,” according to Yonhap.

The South Korean news agency noted on December 6 that many students and parents have “voiced fury” at the impending vaccine requirement since it was revealed on December 3. Those opposed to the order have denounced it via multiple online petitions as “discrimination against those not vaccinated” and “effective coercion for adolescents to get vaccinated.”

One online petition against the vaccine mandate “was filed on the website of Cheong Wa Dae,” or the office of the South Korean presidency, on Friday, according to Yonhap. The entreaty, led by a woman who identified herself as a mother of four children, garnered 74,000 endorsements within 72 hours of its posting.

African Reporter Shouts at Psaki, Accuses Her of Lying About Omicron Travel Restrictions

A White House correspondent accused press secretary Jen Psaki Thursday of lying about the justification for travel restrictions targeting eight countries in southern Africa due to the Omicron COVID-19 variant.

Simon Ateba of Today News Africa began shouting over Psaki as she tried to call on Voice of America’s Patsy Widakuswara, at one point telling the press secretary: “You are saying something that is false.”

“I just answered — Simon, I answered a question on this,” Psaki said as Ateba attempted to get his question in. . .

Ateba was not called on during the briefing and continued to make himself heard as Psaki exited the briefing room. He did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. . .

“There are zero cases of COVID — of Omicron in Zimbabwe, in Namibia, in Lesotho, in Mozambique,” Ateba asked. “What justifies imposing a travel ban on countries that have zero cases of the Omicron variant?” (Read more from “African Reporter Shouts at Psaki, Accuses Her of Lying About Omicron Travel Restrictions” HERE)

Report: School Shooter’s Neighbor Warned Authorities About Parents’ Neglect

A neighbor of accused Michigan high school shooter Ethan Crumbley says she warned authorities about his parents’ alleged neglect of him before last week’s slaughter, a new report reveals.

Kayla LeMieux, who lives near Ethan and his parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, said she alerted child-abuse authorities that the pair would leave their son — then 8 or 9 years old — home alone while they went out bar-hopping, according to a report in the Detroit Free Press.

“When they were gone, he would come knock on our door,” LeMieux, 28, told the outlet. “They didn’t leave him with a phone.”

LeMieux said she notified Child Protective Services but doesn’t know if they took action — noting that the alleged neglect continued.

“It was really when I finally started to say more, because I was just like, even after calling CPS, they were still doing it and even me saying something to them, they were still like, ‘Oh, he is fine,’ ” she said.

Critical Race Trove From School District Tells Students How to Use Witchcraft on People Who Say ‘All Lives Matter’

. . .Campbell Union High School District has promoted more than 100 “equity resources” to students and staff, including a document that taught students how to put a curse on those who say “all lives matter.” . . .

CUHSD also links to the Black Lives Matter Resource Guide, specifically their section labeled “high school,” which itself includes 45 different texts. Amid a wide variety of CRT inspired assignments is a document that includes writing prompts on police brutality and racist violence.

One section titled “Hex” tells the reader, “Hexing people is an important way to get out anger and frustration.” It becomes increasingly deranged, suggesting that those who say “all lives matter” or commit “microaggressions,” should be targeted. “Write your own hex poem, cursing that person,” it instructs.

When asked her thoughts on the document that instructed K-12 students to use witchcraft on political opponents, Branham teacher Meredith Allen told The Federalist she hasn’t read the documents her district recommends, so she “can’t comment,” but that she is generally “opposed to the ‘all lives matter’ message.”

Another section labeled “A World With No Police” cites police and military as “systems or institutions that … contribute to oppression.” It asks “What would the world be like without them?” before telling the reader to write a poem discussing “a world without these institutions.” (Read more from “Critical Race Trove From School District Tells Students How to Use Witchcraft on People Who Say ‘All Lives Matter’” HERE)

COVID Authoritarianism Skyrockets as Media Drums up Omicron Panic

COVID-19 authoritarianism is skyrocketing around the world as the corporate media drums up panic about the Omicron variant of the virus.

In Greece, individuals 60 years old and over will be required to get the COVID-19 jab by Jan. 16, 2022, or risk a 100 euro fine. . .

The mandate comes shortly after the nation banned anyone who did not receive the shot from public “indoor spaces” regardless of whether they test negative.

In other areas of Europe such as Northern Ireland, members of the Alliance party called for political censorship against groups advocating against vaccine passports. Councilor Danny Donnelly and Member of the Legislative Assembly Stewart Dickson complained that the organization Big Brother Watch and other groups protesting a looming legislative vote on vaccine passes are “putting lives at risk,” and demanded the digital advertisements featuring the group’s message be turned off “ASAP.”

In Canada, any travelers older than 12 years old must show proof of full vaccination to take any form of public transportation including domestic and international flights as well as trains. (Read more from “COVID Authoritarianism Skyrockets as Media Drums up Omicron Panic” HERE)

White House Announces Diplomatic Boycott of Beijing Olympics

The White House has announced a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Olympics, saying the U.S. will not send any government officials to the Chinese capital for the Winter Games.

“The Biden administration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic games given [China’s] ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang and other human rights abuses,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Monday.

“The athletes on team USA have our full support, we will be behind them 100 percent as we cheer them on from home. We will not be contributing to the fan fare of the games. U.S. diplomatic or official representation would treat these games as business as usual in the face of the PRC’s egregious human rights abuses and atrocities in Xinjiang and we simply can’t do that.”

Last month, President Biden said a diplomatic boycott was “something we are considering.” At that time, the White House said Biden had “serious concerns” about issues in China, including human rights abuses. (Read more from “White House Announces Diplomatic Boycott of Beijing Olympics” HERE)

Trump’s New Social Media Venture Is Under Investigation

Former President Donald Trump’s new social media company is under investigation from the federal government.

Trump revealed in October that he would take Trump Media & Technology Group and TRUTH Social, his new social media platform, public through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger. However, according to CNBC, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is requesting information “regarding stock trading and communications with Trump’s firm before the deal was announced.”

CNBC reported:

The investigations by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority were disclosed in an 8-K filing with the SEC by Digital World Acquisition Corp., the special purpose acquisition company on track to merge with Trump Media & Technology Group…

The filing comes just two days after Trump Media & Technology Group and DWAC said the SPAC had reached agreements to obtain $1 billion in committed capital from a “diverse group of institutional investors” to be received when the merger is consummated. The identities of those investors in that so-called PIPE, or private investment in public equity, were not publicly disclosed.

Restaurant Refuses Service to 3 On-Duty Police Officers

A co-owner of a San Francisco restaurant defended refusing service to three uniformed police officers following backlash over the move, calling her establishment a “safe space.”

The on-duty officers were seated at the restaurant Friday but were soon asked to leave because staff became “uncomfortable with the presence of their multiple weapons,” according to an Instagram post from the restaurant, called Hilda and Jesse.

Amid public outrage, the co-owner of the North Beach eatery, Rachel Sillcocks, defended the move in an interview Saturday with KGO-TV in San Francisco

“It’s not about the fact that we are anti-police,” she said. “It is about the fact that we do not allow weapons in our restaurant. We were uncomfortable, and we asked them to leave. It has nothing to do that they were officers. It has everything to do that they were carrying guns.” . . .

In an Instagram post Saturday reacting to the criticism, Sillcocks emphasized her restaurant is “a safe space.” (Read more from “Restaurant Refuses Service to 3 On-Duty Police Officers” HERE)

Woman Recounts Harrowing Experience Trapped in COVID Quarantine Camp

Hayley Hodgson, a 26-year-old Australian woman, recounted her two-week confinement in a COVID-19 quarantine camp in an interview with UnHerd published Thursday.

“You feel like you’re in prison. You feel like you’ve done something wrong, it’s inhumane what they’re doing,” Hodgson said in an interview with UnHerd. “You are so small, they just overpower you.” . . .

“Police officers blocked my driveway,” she said. “I walked out and I said, ‘what’s going on, are you guys testing me for COVID? What’s happening?’ They said, ‘no, you’re getting taken away. And you have no choice. You’re going to Howard Springs.’”

Hodgson said the officers told her that they had received orders from “higher up” to take her to the facility and that she was not permitted to “self-isolate” at home. . .

“They don’t come and say anything, they don’t check up, they don’t do anything. You get delivered your meals once a day. And you are just left,” she said. (Read more from “Woman Recounts Harrowing Experience Trapped in COVID Quarantine Camp” HERE)
