/0 Comments/in , /by

As the Biden Administration is slow to respond to a severe shortage of baby formula in the United States, stores throughout Mexico are fully stocked especially with the high-demand Enfamil brand.

Breitbart Texas dispatched local reporters to document the availability of baby formula in various Mexican cities, including several along the U.S. border.

In the city of Piedras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass, Texas, the Soriana Supermarket is fully stocked for infant nutrition items. . .

In the border city of Matamoros, just south of Brownsville, Texas, a Walmart supermarket and also fully stocked. . .

In the capital of the border state of Tamaulipas, Ciudad Victoria, a Soriana Supermarket presented a similar scene. (Read more from “Mexico’s Shelves Are Stocked With Baby Formula Amid U.S. Shortage” HERE)

Joke of a President: Foreign Diplomats at D.C. Summit Caught on Video Laughing at Biden

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two Vietnamese officials were caught on video mocking U.S. President Joe Biden during the weekend summit meeting between the United States and the Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Washingon, D.C.

The video reportedly became a viral sensation before it was removed from the U.S. State Department’s YouTube channel.

Radio Free Asia (RFA) described the incident on Monday:

According to a series of tweets about the incident by Southeast Asia analyst Nguyen Phuong Linh, the video shows the Vietnamese delegation laughing that U.S. President Joe Biden told Prime Minister Chinh that he could “not trust Russia.” Chinh also describes the meeting with Biden as “straightforward and fair and that Vietnam isn’t afraid of anyone,” after which the Vietnamese ambassador to the U.S., Nguyen Quoc Dzung, said they “put [Biden] into checkmate.”

Minister of Public Security To Lam is also seen praising the former deputy national security adviser during the Trump administration, Matthew Pottinger, for being young and smart and having a wife who was born in Vietnam.

Audio Leaked of Chinese Military Meeting Discussing the Invasion of Taiwan and Defeat of Regional US Forces

/1 Comment/in , /by

A Secret recording of a Chinese military meeting planning the invasion of Taiwan and the defeat of regional U.S. forces has reportedly been uncovered.

(This information comes from a trusted source. Any new information will be provided when available.)

In the past week, in response to the instruction of the “Central Military Commission of the State Council” in Beijing on “transitioning to a war time system,” a meeting took place involving senior officers of the People Liberation Army’s Guangdong Military Region of the Southern Command and the principal officers in Guangdong Province administration and the regional Chinese Communist Party committee.

Those participating in the meeting included: Major General Zhou He, Commander of the Guangdong Military Region; Major General Huang Shan-chun, Member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Political Commissar of the Provincial Military Region; Li Xi, Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee; Wang Wei-zhong, Deputy Secretary of Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Governor of Guangdong Province; Zhang Hu, Member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Executive Vice Governor of the Provincial Government; and Wang Zhi-zhong, Deputy Governor of the Guangdong Provincial Government and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Provincial Public Security Department.

The audio and meeting photo were provided by Lude Media.

The meeting focused on three areas:

1. Building a military-civilian joint mobilization command and control system

2. Establishing wartime procedures

3. Preparing for wartime command and control

The main military objectives are to “smash Taiwan independence” and to ensure victory in “a decisive battle in the South China Sea.”

“It is necessary to coordinate the two directions of the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, the two areas of maritime and land protection, the two traditional and new forces, the two kinds of resources in the province and overseas, and the focus on cohesive resources to ensure the direction of the Taiwan Strait.

Guangdong Province alone has been ordered to mobilize massive resources for an invasion of Taiwan.

1. 1,358 units of various types with a total of 140,000 personnel; 953 ships; 1,653 unmanned aircraft; 20 airport terminals; 6 shipyards; 14 emergency mobilization centers; grain and oil depots, hospital blood bank, etc.

2. 15,500 military experts of various disciplines.

3. 64 10,000-ton ro-ro ships, 38 aircraft, 588 trains, and 19 civil facilities such as airport docks.”

China intends to apply the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic towards mobilization and control of its population to meet wartime objectives.

“Convert the experience and practice of the prevention and control of the new corona epidemic in previous years into measures for social prevention and control during wartime, to ensure that the people’s production and life are orderly, the overall social situation is stable, and to create a favorable environment and conditions for a strategic victory.”

The military-political commissar has been ordered to use Chinese assets, both domestic and international, and the political influencers that the Chinese Communist Party has cultivated in the West to support its coming war in Asia.

“Huang (Shan Chun) political commissar (major general, Guangdong Military Region): overseas mobilization, decisive victory against Taiwan. Overseas Chinese, state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, cooperation with the Belt and Road institutions, covering the army with the people, supporting the army with the people, high-end chip machinery, special materials, oil, grain and minerals and other bulk strategic materials, crack the wartime US-West alliance, and protect the military. ‘All resources in the world are for my use’, foreign aid and domestic aid.”

While the Biden regime simultaneously destroys the American economy, risks nuclear war by sending billions of dollars to protect Ukraine’s borders rather than our own, and while the U.S. military undermines its own readiness through Woke policies and useless vaccine mandates, China prepares for victory.

I bet the politically-contaminated U.S. intelligence agencies have no clue about China’s war plans because they are too busy waging their own war on patriotic, law-abiding Americans.

Captive Russian Troops Claim Commanders Kill Their Own Wounded Soldiers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Captured Russian soldiers have accused their commanders of killing their own wounded troops rather than recovering them from the battlefield and sending them for treatment.

In a harrowing account to Ukrainian journalist Volodymyr Zolkin, the young intelligence soldiers described how one lieutenant colonel asked a wounded comrade if he could walk, the Mirror reported.

When the badly injured soldier replied that he could not, the high-ranking officer reportedly shot him – as well as several others — dead.

Another soldier told Zolkin, who has reported about Russian prisoners for Open Media Ukraine, that officers have “finished off their wounded.”

When the journalist asked him to elaborate, the soldier answered: “Just like that … a wounded soldier is lying on the ground, and a battalion commander shoots him dead from a gun,” according to the outlet.

In First, Russian Military Said to Fire S-300 Missiles at Israeli Jets Over Syria

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian forces opened fire on Israeli jets with advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles as they allegedly attacked targets in northwestern Syria last week, Channel 13 news reported Monday, in what could signal a significant shift in Moscow’s attitude to Israel.

According to the unsourced report, the incident occurred on Friday as the Israeli air force bombed several targets near the city of Masyaf in northwestern Syria.

On Friday night at least five people were killed and seven others were hurt in the alleged airstrike, Syria’s state news agency said. Other media in the country said six were killed, all crew members of a Pantsir air defense system who attempted to take down the Israeli missiles.

The report said the Syrian military fired off dozens of anti-aircraft missiles which have been largely ineffective at halting the hundreds of Israeli strikes on Syria in recent years.

However, this time the S-300 batteries also opened fire as the jets were departing the area and ultimately did not present a real threat to the IAF fighters, the report said, noting that Syria’s S-300 batteries are operated by the Russian military and cannot fire without their approval.

Xi Jinping to Step Down, Rumors Suggest, Amid Harsh China COVID Lockdowns

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rumors circulating in China and among overseas Chinese social media are claiming Chinese President Xi Jinping, under fire for draconian COVID-19 lockdowns in Shanghai and elsewhere, will step down from power.

The rumors followed a meeting last week of the Party Politburo Standing Committee, the collective leadership group that rules China. They were traced in part to a Chinese-language YouTube video May 4 by Canadian-based blogger appearing under the persona “Lao Deng.” Details of the video quickly spread to social media outlets in China but were quickly censored.

The blogger, citing what he said was a senior Chinese Communist Party (CCP) security source, said a “coup” was launched against Mr. Xi at the meeting of senior party leaders in Beijing. According to blog, Mr. Xi was forced to step aside but will stay in place until a major party meeting later this year.

In his place, current Premier Li Keqiang will take over daily management of the party and government.

The video included the headline “Shocking Coup: Xi Jinping Has Stepped Down; Li Keqiang is the New Master.” (Read more from “Xi Jinping to Step Down, Rumors Suggest, Amid Harsh China COVID Lockdowns” HERE)

UN: There Is ‘Credible’ Information Ukrainian Forces Are Torturing Russian POWs

/0 Comments/in , /by

There is “credible” information that Russian prisoners of war have been mistreated by Ukrainian forces since the beginning of the Russian invasion in February, a United Nations official said.

The evidence suggests that Russia is not the only country willing to break international norms during war, as the U.N. reports that Ukrainian forces have subjected Russians under their watch to treatment that violates international law, Matilda Bogner, head of the U.N. Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, said Tuesday.

“We have received credible information of torture, ill-treatment and incommunicado detention by Ukrainian Armed Forces against prisoners of war from Russian armed forces and affiliated armed groups,” Bogner said. “We continue to see the publication of videos, which show inhumane treatment, including prisoners from both sides being coerced to make statements, apologies and confessions, and other forms of humiliation.”

The mistreatment from both sides is considered a violation of international humanitarian law, as the U.N. continues to investigate and document egregious violations since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.

“Ukraine and Russia must promptly and effectively investigate all allegations of torture and ill-treatment of prisoners of war. They must also effectively control and instruct their forces to stop any further violations from occurring,” Bogner said.

Eyes Wide Shut: NIH Director Confirms Agency Hid Early COVID Genes at Request of Chinese Scientists

/0 Comments/in , /by

National Institutes of Health acting director Lawrence Tabak confirmed to lawmakers Wednesday that US health officials concealed early genomic sequences of COVID-19 at the request of Chinese scientists — but insisted the data remains on file.

Tabak told a House Appropriations subcommittee that the NIH “eliminated from public view” the data from the pandemic epicenter in Wuhan, China, before adding that researchers can still access it via an archaic “tape drive.”

Vanity Fair recently reported that the information was hidden in response to a request from Chinese scientists, despite potentially resolving whether the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology or passed naturally from animals to humans.

Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) asked Tabek to explain why US officials would comply with such a request.

“There’s no question that the communication that we had about the sequence archive — Sequence Read Archive — could have been improved. I freely admit that,” Tabek said. “If I may, the archive never deleted the sequence, it just did not make it available for interrogation.” (Read more from “Eyes Wide Shut: NIH Director Confirms Agency Hid Early COVID Genes at Request of Chinese Scientists” HERE)

Putin Seen With Blotches on Cheeks After Skipping Beloved Ice Hockey Game

/0 Comments/in , /by

Questions about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s health continued to swirl Wednesday as he missed his beloved annual ice hockey game – appearing instead on a video sporting mysterious marks on his face.

Putin pulled out of the Night Hockey League game in which he had been “expected” to compete and sent a video message while at Sochi, the Black Sea resort where the match was scheduled to take place, East2West News reported.

Adding to speculation about the strongman’s health were dark blotches on his cheeks that may have been masked by makeup.

“I wish you good luck in your ice battles and all the best,” Putin said in his message. “And as they say, ‘May the best win.’”

A Moscow source told the news outlet that the amateur game “was always a firm date in his [Putin’s] diary,” added that “something must be wrong for him to be a no-show.” (Read more from “Putin Seen With Blotches on Cheeks After Skipping Beloved Ice Hockey Game” HERE)

Iran Looking to Attack US for ‘Revenge’ Over Soleimani Assassination

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iran is attempting to inflict “revenge” against the United States over the assassination of Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, according to the director of national intelligence.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who served in then-President Donald Trump’s Cabinet when Soleimani was killed, has been a target of Iran, his successor Antony Blinken told Congress last month. Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence, attributed Iran’s efforts against current and former U.S. officials as an attempt to avenge Soleimani’s January 2020 death in Iraq, where he was killed in an American strike.

“A fair amount of their motivation in this scenario we assess to be in relation to Soleimani as part of their sort of efforts for revenge, and is a particularly challenging area, I think, to deter them from action in this space,” she said, noting that she could go into further detail in a classified setting.

Pompeo isn’t the only former Trump official to be in Iran’s crosshairs. Former national security adviser John Bolton has also been the target of supposed assassination plots, among others. A Feb. 14 State Department report to Congress revealed that it costs the Diplomatic Security Service $2 million per month to protect Pompeo.

While U.S. officials face threats from Iran, the Biden administration is seeking to reenter an agreement similar to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which intends to cap Iran’s nuclear activity in exchange for a rollback of international sanctions and was later abandoned by the Trump administration.
