/0 Comments/in , /by

Jacob Chansley, who is best known as the “QAnon Shaman” from the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, has been released from prison, according to his lawyer.

“For the record: Jake is out on schedule,” tweeted his lawyer, Bill Shipley, early Thursday morning.

The BOP website showed on Thursday that Chansley, a 35-year-old from Arizona, has been moved to a Residential Reentry Management office in Phoenix.

“I told him 16 months ago in our first conversation it would be Feb. or Mar. 2023,” Shipley added. “BOP [Federal Bureau of Prisons] math. I didn’t do anything extraordinary — this was always the schedule, I just understood it and could explain it to him. He was expecting 12 more mos.”

Chansley became a sort-of mascot of the U.S. Capitol breach, sticking out of the crowd with his appearance. He was shirtless, wore a horned helmet and face paint, and carried a spear with an American flag attached. (Read more from “‘Qanon Shaman’ Jacob Chansley Released From Prison” HERE)

Elon Musk’s Twitter Cracks Down On Conservatives Raising Alarm About ‘Trans Day Of Vengeance’ After Attack On Christian School

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Elon Musk’s Twitter has restricted accounts of prominent conservative politicians, journalists, and activists that are raising awareness about the fact that radical transgender activists called for a “Trans Day of Vengeance” ahead of the mass shooting at a Nashville Christian school, carried out by a woman who identified as transgender.

One of the suspended accounts included Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who reportedly tweeted an image of a poster advertising the upcoming “Trans Day of Vengeance” event, which is being hosted by the Trans Radical Activist Network.

“My Congressional account was suspended for 7 days for exposing Antifa, who are organizing a call for violence called ‘Trans Day of Vengeance,’” Greene said. “The day after the mass murder of children by a trans shooter.” . . .

Greene is not the only account suspended on Twitter due to raising awareness about what radical transgender activists are planning.

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Republican congressman, 80 pastors and their spouses delivered a soulful rendition of “Amazing Grace” in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda while on a tour.

Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., led a Christian history tour of the Capitol Tuesday night that was made up of 80 pastors and their spouses from 16 states, as well as several current and former lawmakers.

While in the Capitol Rotunda, the group belted out their praise for the Almighty above in a moving rendition of the classic Christian hymn that reverberated throughout the dome.

“I always enjoy taking friends and visitors through these hallowed halls, and it was a privilege to take this group of faith leaders on a special tour of the Capitol last night,” Johnson told Fox News Digital.

“They were greatly encouraged to see and be reminded of the religious and moral foundations of our country,” the Louisiana Republican continued. “In these times of great division, all Americans would do well to be reminded of those truths and that important heritage.” (Read more from “GOP Congressman, 80 Pastors Sing ‘Amazing Grace’ in Capitol Rotunda” HERE)

Elon Musk’s AI Warning Is ‘Unprecedented’ And Shows ‘Extraordinary’ Level Of Concern, Says Douglas Murray

/0 Comments/in , /by

In an open letter, tech experts and leaders in the industry called for a six-month pause on AI experiments, a move that Fox News contributor Douglas Murray believes shows a “deep concern” that is growing about the risks of artificial intelligence.

The letter, which was signed by Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, reads, in part: “AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society … and should be planned for and managed with commensurate care. … Unfortunately, this level of planning and management is not happening.”

Murray said on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday that the request for a moratorium is extraordinary and is a sign that experts are worried.

“The fact that there has now been this stressing that we could be in trouble. This is unprecedented,” Murray told host Brian Kilmeade.

He explained that concerns are stemming from the idea that the artificial intelligence technology is able to operate at a higher level than human intelligence. For example, Murray said ChatGPT is producing work that other technologies cannot detect as computer-generated.

Chinese Team Behind Extreme Animal Gene Experiment Says It May Lead To Super Soldiers Who Survive Nuclear Fallout

/0 Comments/in , /by

A team of military medical scientists in China says it has inserted a gene from the microscopic water bear into human embryonic stem cells and significantly increased these cells’ resistance to radiation.

They said success in this unprecedented experiment could lead to super-tough soldiers who could survive nuclear fallout.

The water bear, also known as tardigrade or moss piglet, is an eight-legged animal smaller than 1 millimetre long and the hardiest creature on Earth. Over years of scientific testing, it has survived -200 degrees Celsius, more than anour hour in boiling water and after flying in space. . .

The Chinese team said it had found a way to introduce this gene into human DNA using CRISPR/Cas9, a gene-editing tool now available in most bio-labs.

In their laboratory experiment, nearly 90 per cent of the human embryonic cells carrying the water bear gene survived a lethal exposure to X-ray radiation, according to the team led by professor Yue Wen with the radiation biotechnology laboratory at the Academy of Military Sciences, Beijing.

Saudi Arabia Set To Join Anti-West Bloc With China And Russia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Saudi Arabia is joining an anti-Western influence bloc formed by Russia and China, in a sign of Riyadh’s deepening ties with Beijing as the US pivots away from the Middle East.

The kingdom’s cabinet approved a plan to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) as a “dialogue partner”, a precursor to being granted full membership, SPA, the Saudis’ state news agency, announced on Wednesday.

Formed in 2001 by Russia, China and former Soviet states in Central Asia, the SCO is a political and security bloc of countries spanning much of Eurasia and has expanded to include India and Pakistan, with a view to challenging Western influence in the region.

Iran also signed documents for full membership last year.

The SCO holds an annual summit to discuss economic cooperation and mutual security, often focusing on terrorism, separatism and extremism, though divergent interests limit the group’s effectiveness. Member states are planning a “counter-terrorism exercise” in Russia this August, though the SCO is not a military alliance.

Joe Biden Asks Americans To Pressure Congress To Ban ‘Assault Weapons’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden urged Americans to figure out which members of Congress do not support an “assault weapons” ban and pressure them to do so in another push for gun control Tuesday.

“The majority of the American people think having assault weapons is bizarre, it’s a crazy idea,” he said, per the Hill.

Biden noted that he could not do any more on “assault weapons” via executive action, so he urged Americans to figure out where their representatives stand on the issue and pressure them.

He said, “Because I want you to know who isn’t doing it, who isn’t helping. Put pressure on them.”

Biden asserted there is “a moral price to pay for inaction.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Asks Americans To Pressure Congress To Ban ‘Assault Weapons’” HERE)
