A statement from Bishop Schneider:
The Catholic Faith in the voice of the perennial Magisterium, the sense of the faith of the faithful ( sensus fidelium ) as well as common sense clearly reject any civil union of two persons of the same sex, a union which has the aim that these persons seek sexual pleasure from each other. Even if persons living in such unions should not engage in mutual sexual pleasure — which in reality has been shown to be quite unrealistic — such unions represent a great scandal, a public recognition of sins of fornication against nature and a continuous proximate occasion of sin. Those who advocate same-sex civil unions are therefore also culpable of creating a kind of structure of sin, in this case of the juridical structure of habitual fornication against nature, since homosexual acts belong to sins which cry to heaven, as the Catechism of the Catholic Church says (see n. 1867). Those who advocate same-sex civil unions are ultimately unjust and even cruel against those persons who are living in these unions, because these persons will be confirmed in mortal sin, they will be solidified in their interior psychological dichotomy, since their reason tells them, that homosexual acts are against reason and against the explicit will of God, the Creator and Redeemer of men.

Pope Francis Covers for “Catholic” Joe Biden By Cliff Kincaid -October 22, 2020 Anti-communist Professor Renato Cristin commented in a recent interview that Pope Francis is the leader of the global left, a fact confirmed by Francis himself when he embraced so-called homosexual civil unions. The only question is whether Francis is a Marxist masquerading as a Catholic, or whether he has somehow in his own mind synthesized Christianity and Communism into a bizarre philosophy of “Christian communism.” Whatever the case, Francis has become a significant impediment to the restoration of the fundamental values of Judeo-Christian civilization. Cristin is the author of The Masters of Chaos, a philosophical book on the situation of Europe and the West, and provides a deep understanding of the mind-set of those seeking to impose socialism on the U.S. and the world. The United States is today “exposed to a risk it was not prepared for, namely the consolidation of a masked but clearly communist political movement,” he asserts. But how is this possible when a seemingly nice guy like Joe Biden has emerged as the leader of this movement? A similar question has to be asked about Pope Francis, a nice guy who smiles a lot and seems friendly with people. Cristin comments that “Catholic communism, which is in effect an oxymoron, has become a point of reference for many people throughout the West, forming one of the aspects of neo-communism in circulation today.” The difference is that Biden, who claims to be Catholic, has obvious mental deficiencies, having been a plagiarist who suffered through brain aneurysms, while Francis is in charge of his mental faculties and knows what he is doing. Hence, he knows his endorsement of homosexual civil unions is a direct contradiction of what the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith taught in 2003, with the authority of Saint John Paul II. It said that “Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions” and that “Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians.” As Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has explained, the Francis declaration in favor of homosexual civil unions is designed to purge traditional Catholics from the church and solidify his power. It also seems designed to provide cover for so-called Catholics looking to vote for the faux Catholic Biden, who approves homosexual marriages and actually married two men in a ceremony at one of his lavish homes. Can you imagine the sick spectacle of “You may kiss the bride,” as two “husbands” tie the knot? Biden, a Catholic, was there, as if he were the Justice of the Peace. Leaving aside Catholic or religious teaching, common sense and basic science demonstrate that two men can’t reproduce. It is DNA denial of the most basic form. A gay “union” or “marriage,” therefore, is a denial of biological reality. It represents the destruction of humanity. Yet, Biden's wife, Jill, tweeted, “Love is love!” This is the diabolical “gender agenda” that Catholic cable channel EWTN has exposed in a sensational new documentary. Titled, "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing II – The Gender Agenda," the film “examines the origins and depravity of the so-called Sexual Revolution, with its current emphasis on gender dysphoria and homosexuality…” The film also reveals how U.S. seminaries were infiltrated by communists, “who helped usher in the sex abuse crisis which has roiled the Catholic Church in modern times.” The mere fact that a documentary like this can still be aired in the United States is a sign of hope. Another hopeful sign is the nomination of pro-life and pro-family Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Of course, Biden betrays Catholic teaching on other issues as well, most notably preserving the right to life of the innocent unborn. For his part, Francis is a committed left-wing ideologue whose ascension to the papacy was itself strange, as Pope Benedict was forced out in what seemed like the kind of coup the American intelligence agencies attempted against President Trump. That makes Francis more dangerous than Biden, a pawn of the same global forces Francis is leading. The other controversial Francis dictate, criticizing the so-called separation of families at the U.S.-Mexico border, was designed to attack President Trump, when Viganò notes “the reality is that the President is confronting human trafficking and the trafficking of minors.” Viganò adds that “while conservative American bishops are forbidden from intervening in the political debate in support of President Trump, the Vatican allows itself to casually interfere in the elections in favor of his Democratic adversary, in union with the censorship by social and news media of the very serious accusations against the Biden family.” Those accusations now include reports of Hunter Biden’s laptop computer containing photos of an underage girl, perhaps a family member. Photos already released show the Biden son sleeping with a drug pipe. A Senate report had previously tied Hunter Biden to individuals engaged in human trafficking and prostitution. The documents acquired by the committee, it said, “shed light on a much broader array of questionable financial transactions involving Hunter Biden, other members of the Biden family, and their associations with foreign nationals. These foreign nationals have questionable backgrounds that have been identified as being consistent with a range of criminal activities, including but not limited to organized prostitution and/or human trafficking, money laundering, fraud, and embezzlement.” The report added, “Hunter Biden paid nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to be linked to an ‘Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.’” Whether proven true or not, it is not debatable that Joe Biden has taken leave of his senses, especially by abandoning his Catholic roots. He has serious family problems that need his immediate attention. He must answer to the reports of Hunter Biden using access to his father to make business deals with China and Ukraine. Hunter Biden, a former drug addict discharged from the Navy when he was caught using cocaine, may not understand everything he is doing. But you can bet that Pope Francis and Joe Biden’s handlers do. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc. www.usasurvival.org The Democrats’ Cynical Presidential Bait & Switch
By J.C. Hawkins - October 21, 2020 From The Forgotten Street As the Elite Traitor Media (ETM) continues maintaining its defenses around Joe Biden’s floundering presidential campaign, it’s supporting what may be the most cynical and underhanded political maneuver in presidential campaign history. Anyone with a semblance of integrity and honesty can see that Joe Biden is in no way physically or mentally fit to handle the rigors of the U.S. presidency. The folks on The Forgotten Street, Main Street USA, see Joe Biden as a feeble old man well past his prime. Those casting a vote for Joe Biden will in reality be voting to make Kamala Harris the true President of the United States. Democrats are cynically hiding that truth from the American public. Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave away the game when she began talking about a commission on the 25th Amendment. Some thought she meant that President Trump was in her sights, but he knew right away her real target was Biden. It’s clear the Democrat power structure is toeing The Deep State line and would move immediately to remove Joe Biden from the presidency shortly after he would take office in January 2021. What’s really hidden is whom Harris would name as her Vice President. That’s where it gets really interesting. After helping to stage the hidden coup against Joe Biden, will she be able to stave off her next–in-line? Both Biden and Harris are convenient Deep State dupes designed to pave the way for it to regain control of the levers of power and put the United States on the path to a globalist socialist government. The Biden campaign is relying on a massive blitz of television ads funded by a mammoth war chest of funding from Silicon Valley and Wall Street bigwigs who stand to gain the most from a globalist government. They don’t care one bit about Americans’ freedoms, upward mobility or individual liberty. What we’re witnessing is a classic “Bait and Switch” in which voters would be duped into voting for one candidate without really knowing who the real candidate might be. By foisting this fraud on the American public, the Democrat power structure reveals itself for the cynical, malevolent force it truly is. Meanwhile, the ETM are trying their best to bury the Hunter Biden laptop scandal that threatens to devour the Biden campaign and Biden Crime Dynasty. Democrats have opened their shopworn, tired playbook to cry “Russia, Russia, Russia” as a distraction, using chief stooge Adam Schiff as the lead actor in their pathetic effort. Moreover, the intelligence community coup plotters (Brennan, Clapper, Hayden et.al) have weighed in with a pompous letter as well. Rudy Giuliani is driving the effort to divulge the worst of the laptop’s contents, which apparently detail serious criminal activity ranging from bribery to child sex trafficking. Like the experienced prosecutor he is, he’s verified the contents and is letting the story drip out. By doing so, he’s giving the Bidens, Democrats and the ETM the opportunity to overreact, deny what can be readily confirmed, and get caught like rats when he springs the real trap. Joe Biden has gone into hiding in his basement bunker to avoid any questions about the matter prior to tomorrow’s final presidential debate. In the interim, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) is doing all it can to slant the format and discussion topics against President Trump in favor of Biden. NBC’s Kristen Welker is serving as moderator. She has a proven history of Democrat ties and hostility toward President Trump. Likely the CPD selected her in part because she is black. In that way, she’s insulated from criticism. How cynical can the CPD get? Those challenging her handling of the debate will get hit with the Race Card. Pretty cagey of the Deep Staters who run the CPD. Just two weeks out from the election, the pundits are all over the map. The truly clueless ones are those opining that President Trump may be able to pull off an “upset.” Upset??? They clearly have little or no knowledge of the history of presidential elections. A review of the ones in our lifetime demonstrate that despite the obvious damage done to President Trump’s chances by the China Virus, he has the following advantages:
Does that sound like anyone we know? Does “Ronald Reagan in 1984” ring a bell? The stiffs in today’s media simply have no point of reference when it comes to history. Their historical knowledge can’t fill a thimble. Finally, what’s truly working in President Trump’s favor are his strong running mate, Mike Pence, and the obvious contrast with what has to be the weakest presidential ticket in modern history. Biden/Harris are the Hindenburg coming in for a landing and the Titanic heading for the iceberg. The Deep State bid to fool Americans with its “Bait and Switch Ticket” simply isn’t going to work. Americans will not buy a presidential candidate with serious mental issues (dementia and encephalomalacia), or a vice presidential candidate who’s the most radical left-winger ever and a person of questionable integrity.
Save Us from the Perverts, Liars, and Globalists By Cliff Kincaid – October 20, 2020 I have had interactions with two prominent people in the news -- former Senator and current presidential candidate Joe Biden and C-SPAN’s Steve Scully. I never met another personality, anti-Trump commentator Jeffrey Toobin, but I covered the occasion when this CNN analyst and staff writer at The New Yorker was honored with an award by the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association. Personally, at least for a time, it appears he was out of the closet, so to speak, on Zoom. He was reportedly caught exposing his genitals on a Zoom call. He was suspended, not fired, and apologized to his wife, family, friends and co-workers. Scully was suspended, not fired, for lying about his social media account being hacked by anti-Trump content. There seems to be a pattern here. Is this the way Washington works? Biden, as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, refused to allow my testimony against a United Nations treaty, and Scully moderated a debate I had on his network about the International Criminal Court. I thought at the time that Biden was unfair in his proceedings, while Scully was a decent and fair guy, despite having worked for Biden. He almost got the chance to moderate a presidential debate. Not to pile on the disgraced Jeffrey Toobin, but a description of the gay awards ceremony for Toobin said that he had through “sharp analysis and keen insight” used his influence “to educate viewers about the legal rationale for fair and equal treatment of LGBT Americans and, in doing so, has helped create the political landscape that allowed recent LGBT court victories to be widely understood by the American public.” Translated into common sense language, this means that Toobin was pro-gay in his coverage and helped sell the public on the homosexual agenda. A noted plagiarist whose plagiarism has not stopped his campaign for higher office, Biden is openly devoted to the New World Order but that sinister goal has not received sufficient coverage. However, it is as shocking as run-of-the-mill perversion and lying by other Washington figures in the news. It’s no wonder many Americans have come to the conclusion that the Washington establishment is hopelessly corrupt. Before we get to the matter of Joe Biden’s globalism, it should be noted that the gay event in honor of Toobin was co-sponsored by Comcast/NBCUniversal and CBS News. This was important. It demonstrates that although reporters sometimes talk about one another as “rivals” in the media business, they are really on the same liberal team. Hence, we learn that Kristen Welker of NBC News, the “moderator” of Thursday’s presidential debate, once had her picture taken at a White House event with President Obama. She is proud of her bias. She was picked to moderate a debate anyway. Since Biden has run for president before, and was a long-time Delaware Senator who chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I covered his career over the years, which includes several incidents of plagiarism. Plagiarism involving a journalist is grounds for firing. For Biden, however, it reflects the judgment of others that he can recite whatever is put in front of him. That is someone worth using for other purposes. Hence, he is a puppet. The Biden plagiarism cases have been well-documented. Still, he was picked as Obama’s vice president and is now running for president. Who’s calling the shots? His recent astonishing comment about legally approving the idea of transgender 8-year-olds was bizarre but it helps illustrate the influence of those running him and his campaign. Those are the same LGBT activists who honored Toobin. Although these people comprise only one or two percent of the population, they have enormous influence. And they want to impose what a new EWTN film calls the “gender agenda” of destroying biological differences. It is Cultural Marxism. In foreign affairs, where President Trump has made significant changes in favor of an America-first policy, the stakes are also significant. Once considered the leading foreign policy “expert” of the Democratic Party, Biden put his name on a plan by Leslie Gelb of the Council on Foreign Relations to get U.S. troops out of Iraq. I covered this at the time. Biden called the plan, only three pages long, the “Biden-Gelb plan.” It was to turn Iraq over to the United Nations and the “international community” and divide the country up. Biden had been a big supporter of the disastrous U.S. invasion of Iraq. Biden’s knee-jerk response in support of the U.N. playing a larger role in world affairs was also reflected in his decision to push for Senate ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Negotiated under the auspices of the United Nations, it was written by advocates of world government. I put all of this in writing to Biden on behalf of my group America’s Survival. Perhaps that’s why he didn’t want me to testify against it. Back in 1992, Biden wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal (assuming that he actually wrote the article) under the headline, “How I Learned to Love the New World Order.” This can only be understood by taking into account a pamphlet entitled, "Toward a New World Order: The Future of NATO," written by billionaire George Soros. The Soros plan, which is similar to Biden’s, is to make NATO, once an anti-Communist alliance, into a military arm of the U.N. Soros figured that NATO could take on the military responsibilities of the New World Order until the U.N. was ready to do the job. Despite all of this being out in the open, the first result when you Google the term “New World Order” is that “The New World Order (NWO) in conspiracy theories is the hypothesis of a secretly emerging totalitarian world government.” This is how Google, the target of an anti-trust lawsuit, controls “news.” There’s not much “secret” about all of this when Biden is openly writing about strengthening “institutions of collective security.” You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to detect the hidden hand of George Soros in Biden’s foreign policy views. Regarding the unfolding Biden scandal, the evidence indicates that Hunter was making money off “Pop” and the “Big Guy” -- Joe Biden -- was getting some. But in terms of foreign affairs generally, billionaire George Soros appears to be the controller. Soros had financially supported Barack Hussein Obama, Biden and other Democrats on the Foreign Relations Committee. As a result, Biden was the strongest supporter of the United Nations in the entire Congress. He openly supports a New World Order, as articulated by George Soros, with NATO serving as front-line troops until the U.N. is strong enough to play the role of “global peacekeeper.” By the way, Toobin and Scully may soon return to work, and Biden hopes to be elected president of the United States, where he will do the bidding of George Soros.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on Jeffrey Toobin's fate:
CNN and the New Yorker need to let Jeffrey Toobin go. They should not have perverts on their payroll. Both of these media outlets have been highly critical of sexual offenses committed by priests—this is especially true of CNN—so they should now invoke the "zero tolerance" stance adopted by the Catholic Church. If a priest had done what Toobin has done, he would be removed. It is time CNN and the New Yorker were held to the same standard. Toobin should be terminated. The initial news stories on Toobin, the long-time legal analyst for CNN and writer for the New Yorker, said he was caught showing his penis to participants on a Zoom call; the employees were from the magazine and WNYC. The latest news stories reportthat he was engaged in more than indecent exposure: the Harvard Law graduate was caught masturbating during the Zoom meeting. Toobin has not denied what happened, saying only that he thought he was off-camera and could not be seen. Are there Enough Christians to Save America?
By Cliff Kincaid – October 19, 2020 Deaths from the China virus number more than 1 million worldwide. Deaths from abortion worldwide number 1 billion. Interestingly, the China virus problem has been used in many states to shut down churches and keep abortion clinics open as “essential businesses.” In effect, the China virus serves as a cover for mass murder and Christian persecution. In response, a movement called “Let Us Worship” is calling for civil disobedience against governmental authorities in the United States suppressing Christian gatherings. It is led by Christian activist Sean Feucht, who says “I burn to see abortion and Roe v. Wade overturned,” and quotes Mother Teresa as saying, “Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want.” In regard to abortion, which has claimed 63 million lives in America since Roe v. Wade, the comparison with the China virus is made not to minimize the suffering and lives lost by one evil or another. Rather, the comparison is designed to highlight how the threat of the China virus has diverted our attention from what Thomas W. Jacobson, Executive Director of the Global Life Campaign, has called “the greatest genocide in history.” “Many Christian leaders are reluctant to talk about abortion,” he says, “but it is the number one cause of death in the United States and worldwide.” “It is a great tragedy that more than 1 million people have died worldwide this year from the coronavirus pandemic,” Jacobson says. “It is also a great tragedy that about 1 million babies are aborted by choice every month (and this only includes the reported ones).” He adds, “Look at the massive global efforts every nation is undertaking to protect our lives – the lives of the born. Should we not undertake an equally great effort to protect babies in the womb and end abortion?” Taking a religious view, he says, “Covid-19 is a global plague like those recorded or prophesied in the Bible. This year is 2020, the 100th anniversary of the first government authorizing abortion [the Russian communist regime], and more than 1 billion babies have been sacrificed in one century. I do not know for certain, but if Covid-19 is the beginning of God’s judgments for the slaughter of innocent babies, then either this pandemic or additional plagues or catastrophes may continue, one after another, until we humble ourselves, repent of our sins, and stop murdering babies.” The Global Life Campaign is trying to provide copies of its Abortion Worldwide Report: 1 Century, 100 Nations, 1 Billion Babies, to “leaders and people of influence in the United States.” These include 130 church denomination headquarters, 40 selected clergy and churches, 60 Christian leaders and ministries, 45 Christian colleges and universities, and 55 pro-life/family organizations. It is sad that an effort has to be undertaken to provide this report to religious leaders and churches. But Jacobson cites the case of two Baptist denominations, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and the American Baptist Church USA (ABC). He notes, “The SBC stands firmly for the sanctity of human life and against abortion. But the ABC thinks abortion can be ‘morally acceptable.’” Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris is a member of the ABC. Presidential candidate Joe Biden claims to be a Catholic. His review of 14 church denominations found the following:
But the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court gives him hope. “Based on her faith, character, integrity and commitment to the original intent of the Framers of the United States Constitution, President Donald Trump made an exceptionally wise choice in nominating Amy Coney Barrett as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court,” he says. “By her life, family, instruction, legal career and judicial decisions, she represents the most honorable aspects of our nation.” Former Trump Campaign Deputy Chairman Rick Gates says Trump’s appointment of Barrett has galvanized voters on both sides of the political aisle. But he goes on to say, “The current Trump Administration is going to be assessed on its handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the state of the economy.” But how many of those voters know about the death toll from abortion and the differences between the two major political parties on the issue? How many know that abortion has taken far more lives than the China virus? What’s more, how many understand that China leads the world in the number of abortions – and that the number from that communist nation alone is now more than 401 million? Some observers say that if Trump emphasizes his pro-life stand, contrasting that with the Biden/Harris ticket, he could turn the tide. There are more than 80 million Catholics in the U.S. and Barrett is one of them. All he has to do is quote Bishop Rick Stika of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Knoxville, Tennessee, who says that “abortion is the preeminent issue for the Catholic Church” and that Democratic candidate Joe Biden “supports ending the Hyde Amendment [limiting federal funding of abortion], is against parental choice for education, and wishes to make abortion the law of the land.” Putting the issue in direct and stark terms, he added, “If a person supports or promotes abortion, it is no different than supporting slavery. It is the ultimate abuse against human dignity and the human rights of the baby. It is the ultimate act of child abuse.” A similar message has come from Father Ed Meeks of Christ the King Catholic Church, who says America is “staring into the abyss” on November 3 and that “Catholic” Joe Biden betrays Catholic teachings on the sanctity of life and marriage. In a new video, “The Silence That Kills,” an Operation Rescue video calls for protests against Catholic Bishops that do not denounce Joe Biden by name. Non-Catholics are also speaking out. Black Baptist Minister E.W. Jackson Sr., founder of the S.T.A.N.D. Foundation, sponsors regular conference calls with experts on election issues to bypass Big Tech censorship and bring the truth to millions of Christians. He asks, “Will Christians vote in large enough numbers to counteract ‘ballot harvesting,’ mail-in balloting and other practices that make vote fraud easier?” At the March for Life in Washington earlier this year, President Trump said, “They are coming after me because I am fighting for you.” He was the first sitting president to appear at the massive pro-life event.
TRUMP CAMPAIGN LETTER TO COMMISSION ON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES
October 19, 2020 The Commission on Presidential Debates Attn: Co-Chairs Frank Fahrenkopf, Jr., Dorothy S. Ridings, Kenneth Wollack; Executive Director Janet H. Brown P.O. Box 58247 Washington, D.C. 20037 Bill Stepien Campaign Manager Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. 725 5th Avenue New York, NY 10022 Dear Members of the Commission: We write with great concern over the announced topics for what was always billed as the “Foreign Policy Debate” in the series of events agreed to by both the Trump campaign and Biden campaign many months ago. The topics announced by moderator Kristen Welker (Fighting COVID-19, American Families, Race in America, Climate Change, National Security, and Leadership) are serious and worthy of discussion, but only a few of them even touch on foreign policy. Indeed, almost all of them were discussed at length during the first debate won by President Trump over moderator Chris Wallace and candidate Joe Biden. As is the long-standing custom, and as had been promised by the Commission on Presidential Debates, we had expected that foreign policy would be the central focus of the October 22 debate. We urge you to recalibrate the topics and return to subjects which had already been confirmed. We understand that Joe Biden is desperate to avoid conversations about his own foreign policy record, especially since President Trump has secured historic peace agreements among Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. We recall that Biden’s former Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, maintains that Biden has been “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” Biden has supported endless wars and given aid and comfort to our adversaries, including Iran, which was delivered pallets loaded with mountains of cash just as four Americans were released from captivity in Tehran. Biden also has advanced the interests of China over his 47 years as a Washington politician, putting their concerns ahead of those of America workers. New information recently revealed indicates that Biden himself was mentioned as a financial beneficiary of a deal arranged by his son Hunter and a communist Chinese-related energy company. If a major party candidate for President of the United States is compromised by the Communist Party of China, this is something Americans deserve to hear about, but it is not surprising the Biden would want to avoid it. It is completely irresponsible for the Commission to alter the focus of this final debate just days before the event, solely to insulate Biden from his own history. Sadly, this is not the first time the Commission has ceded to the wishes of the Biden campaign. Despite the obvious fact that millions of Americans began casting votes early this year, the Commission steadfastly refused to move the debate schedule earlier or add another event, simply because the Biden campaign objected. In this example, the Commission hid behind Biden’s unwillingness to be flexible with the schedule but has not hesitated to act unilaterally in other cases. As the most egregious example, the abrupt decision to switch the scheduled second debate on October 15 in Miami to a virtual setting was done without consultation with our campaign at all. Though the supposed reason for the change was public safety because of the coronavirus, the decision was made well before President Trump’s medical condition became apparent and well before the President was medically cleared as having tested negative for the virus. Proof of the illogic of the Commission’s decision is the fact that this action resulted in both Biden and President Trump holding their own, separate in-person events on the same night. If the Commission’s action was intended to prevent one in-person event, creating two such events as a result revealed the pointlessness of the decision. The Commission’s pro-Biden antics have turned the entire debate season into a fiasco and it is little wonder why the public has lost faith in its objectivity. The moderator for the first debate styled himself as a third combatant on stage, with almost all of his venom directed at President Trump. The moderator of the second debate, which was cancelled, revealed his anti-Trump bias by accidentally tweeting what was intended to be a direct message to a well-known Trump critic, and then lying that his Twitter account had been “hacked.” Incredibly, the Commission has yet to retract its public statement of support for the moderator’s bogus hacking cover story, which resulted in the moderator’s indefinite suspension from his place of employment. Finally, the moderator of the third debate now has decided to pursue topics almost wholly unrelated to the purpose of the event, which was to be focused on foreign policy. It is our understanding from media reports that you will soon be holding an internal meeting to discuss other possible rule changes, such as granting an unnamed person the ability to shut off a candidate’s microphone. It is completely unacceptable for anyone to wield such power, and a decision to proceed with that change amounts to turning further editorial control of the debate over to the Commission which has already demonstrated its partiality to Biden. This is reminiscent of the first debate in 2016, when the President’s microphone was oscillated, and it is not acceptable. For the good of campaign integrity, and for the benefit of the American people, we urge you to rethink and reissue a set of topics for the October 22 debate, with an emphasis on foreign policy. This is what the campaigns had agreed to and it has been the tradition in past campaigns. We await your immediate reply to these concerns. We further advise you that there is no reason to consult with the Biden campaign before replying because we all know what they think. Sincerely, Bill Stepien Donald J. Trump for President campaign manager Editor's note: The FBI refers to "Google, Cisco, Facebook, and Twitter" as "our private sector partners," in going after Russian hackers, when those Big Tech companies are censoring the American people.
FULL STATEMENT: Washington, D.C. FBI National Press Office (202) 324-3691 October 19, 2020 FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich’s Remarks at Press Conference Announcing Cyber-Related Indictment of Six Russian Intelligence Officers FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich delivered the following remarks during a press conference in Washington, D.C., with other Department of Justice officials announcing charges against six members of the GRU—Russia’s military intelligence agency—in connection with the worldwide deployment of destructive malware and other disruptive actions. (Remarks as delivered) Good afternoon. We’re here to turn a spotlight on the numerous, destructive cyber attacks which are perpetrated by the GRU—which as you heard is Russia’s military intelligence agency. This activity went well beyond traditional intelligence collection. The GRU targeted the global energy sector, international political groups, hospitals, and even the Olympics. Time and again, Russia has made it clear they will not abide by accepted norms, and instead, they intend to continue their destructive and destabilizing cyber behavior. Of course, this threat is not new. We’ve been fighting the cyber threat for years now, addressing hack after hack, as our adversaries continue to escalate their crimes and use their capabilities not just to gather intelligence, but also to disrupt, degrade, and destroy. We investigate one major hack, only to uncover another one. We are particularly concerned when nation-state adversaries target our critical infrastructure and our intellectual property, both here at home and abroad. These actors we’re talking about today are alleged to have developed and deployed the NotPetya destructive malware, which wreaked havoc across the entire globe. NotPetya is considered one of the most destructive cyber attacks ever. Victims included a hospital in Pennsylvania, as you heard already. The cyber attack crippled that hospital’s operations. I'll not repeat what the U.S. attorney went through earlier, but in the end, as he mentioned, that included more than $2 million in damages to a hospital in the state of Pennsylvania. The indictment also alleges this group was responsible for the Olympic Destroyer malware, which knocked the official 2018 Winter Olympics website offline and prohibited attendees from even being able to gain their event tickets. These actors conducted these brazen attacks from the safety of their own country, but that does not mean that we should not and will not pursue them and hold them accountable. Whether you’re a cyber criminal turning profit from hacking or a Russian military intelligence officer who's intent on taking down infrastructure, these attacks will not be tolerated. We will continue to work in tandem with our partners to impose risks and consequences on these actors however we can—whether it’s through indictments or other means. In this case, we brought the investigative resources and expertise of three different field offices, as you heard earlier—the Pittsburgh Field Office of the FBI, the Atlanta Field Office of the FBI, and Oklahoma City Field Office of the FBI. We brought them all together to attribute these attacks to the GRU. We also want to thank this nation’s tech giants, including Google, Cisco, Facebook, and Twitter, for all stepping up and helping us with this investigation. This is more common that we work hand in hand with our private sector partners today than ever before. We’re going to continue to work together with our partners both at home and abroad, in law enforcement and in the private sector, to stop brazen cyber crime and hold these people accountable. One thing I do want to take time to do is to thank the FBI agents and analysts and those employees that worked very diligently on this investigation. I also want to take the time to thank all the assistant United States attorneys, and from a Headquarters perspective, the Department of Justice here, and the FBI Headquarters Cyber Division personnel who worked very tirelessly on this investigation. These investigations, as I've mentioned before, they are arduous, and they take diligence and they take tenacity to get them over the finish line. We're not yet there, but we are to the point of indictment. And that's why we're here today. The cyber threat continues to be daunting, but when we bring the right people, the right tools, and the right authorities, our adversaries, we believe, are no match to what we can accomplish together.

UPDATE: EWTN’s new film, “A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing II – The Gender Agenda,” examines the origins and depravity of the so-called Sexual Revolution, with its current emphasis on gender dysphoria and homosexuality, and explains how the battle over marriage and family will be won. The film airs Saturday, Oct. 17. The Oct. 17 airing will be preceded at 8:30 p.m. ET by the original “A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” documentary, which explores the rise of Marxism in the U.S. The following was written in reference to the first "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing." -- The EWTN Catholic cable channel, which reaches tens of millions of people in the U.S., has been running a blockbuster film, “A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing,” examining how Marxists have subverted the church from within by recruiting clergy into revolutionary socialist activities that divide people and cause conflict. The film is described as “a lens into America’s cultural Marxism euphemistically called ‘progressivism.’” While the film is spiritual and moral in its basic orientation, filmmakers Richard and Stephen Payne discussed with EWTN host Father Mitch Pacwa, a former community organizer featured in the film, how this insidious form of community organizing, led by Saul Alinsky, was embraced not only by Barack Obama but also Hillary Clinton. Like Obama, Mrs. Clinton was a disciple of Alinsky. She wrote a thesis at Wellesley College on his revolutionary strategies. As many Catholics get educated—perhaps for the first time—about the subversion in the church and its link to liberal politicians, the Donald J. Trump campaign has announced the creation of a new group to provide advisory support to the candidate on issues and policies important to Catholics. Interestingly, one of the members of this new group is Lisa Bourne, a journalist with LifeSiteNews. Bourne has written such articles as “How billionaire George Soros is trying to hijack the Catholic Church for his progressive agenda,” and “Is the $91 million Obama refugee grant to the USCCB [United States Conference of Catholic Bishops] tied to bishops’ silence on Hillary?” The latter article questions whether or not the millions of federal dollars going to the Catholic bureaucracy is a reason for the bishops’ virtual silence on Hillary Clinton’s “atrocious record on life and family.” With the release of the new film “A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing,” the tide may be turning in favor of the conservative Catholics angry about the internal takeover of their church. The film is the work of a Roman Catholic production company, Arcadia Films, and is getting national attention from local Catholic groups such as Voice of Catholics Advocating Life. The film can be downloaded and watched on a personal computer or such platforms as Apple TV, Roku and Chromecast. But what will the Catholic hierarchy do? This is a money changers moment for the Catholic Church. Will they remain true to the teachings of their church and chase the bureaucrats, progressives, and hedge fund operators from the church? Or will they stay silent and continue counting the money from the progressive state and its financial sponsors? Are the Wheels Coming Off Joe Biden’s “No Malarkey Bus?” By J.C. Hawkins - October 17, 2020 From The Forgotten Street This week may be the one we look back on and say, “That’s when the Biden campaign crashed and burned.” It’s bad enough when a candidate has a so-called “October Surprise” to handle. For Joe Biden, he has a growing number of them to deflect. For a guy who toured Iowa during the primary season in his “No Malarkey Bus” Joe now responds with a ton of malarkey. His antics are going over like a lead balloon with everyday Americans on The Forgotten Street, Main Street USA. We’re believe it’s sheer lunacy to think 8-year olds can make a decision and choice about their gender identification. Some of them can’t even dress themselves or decide what to eat. But, the candidate chosen by The Deep State thinks they can. Of course, the worst is what The New York Post revealed about Hunter Biden’s laptop content. It goes into serious detail about outright corruption, revealing how Joe Biden helped his son get lucrative business deals in the Ukraine and Red China. Joe denies being involved. He lies about whether or not he met with Hunter’s possible business partners. Given readily available video proving Vice President Biden leveraged aid for The Ukraine into getting a federal prosecutor there fired for looking into Hunter’s involvement with the Burisma energy concern, it takes serious chutzpah to try to cover up any involvement. The worst is yet to come. The laptop contents reveal the depths of Hunter’s drug use and general depravity. Reports have surfaced that Hunter may have something that will act as a neutron bomb on the whole Biden corruption scandal: child pornography on his hard drive. Rudy Giuliani has thoroughly looked into the matter and hinted that seriously disturbing, embarrassing revelations about illegal activities are on the horizon. People will do well to remember Giuliani’s work as a federal prosecutor and how he brought down the Mob. Now he may bring down The Biden Crime Family. Of course, Deep State media lackeys like Chris Wallace are attacking Giuliani, claiming he’s not a “reliable source.” That’s the typical Democrat smear: besmirch the source. Wallace wouldn’t know a “reliable source” if one bit him in the butt. As long as the source bashes President Trump, that’s good enough for Wallace and his sorry ilk. Beyond that “surprise” is news that both the campaigns of Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris have been hit with exposure to individuals with the China Virus. This news forced Harris off the campaign trail, unless she was simply making up an excuse to hide from having to answer questions about the Hunter Biden mess. Remember, Biden has touted his “national plan” to confront the COVID pandemic. How can he and Harris be trusted to protect the country if they can’t keep their own campaigns virus-free? For all their showy use of masks, it’s readily apparent they didn’t do the job. The other problem hanging out there is the fact the campaign and The Elite Traitor Media have been covering up Joe Biden’s real health condition. As revealed on The Forgotten Street in an October 7 column, Joe Biden is suffering from a common ailment that affects people who’ve undergone a serious brain surgery called a craniotomy. Biden underwent two such operations in 1988. He most likely has “encephalomalacia,” which is a medical term for brain damage. Damage to the frontal lobe of the brain causes people to have trouble controlling what they say or how they might behave in certain social situations. That being the case, it’s worth considering that Biden has had serious issues with so-called “gaffes” and his conduct around women and young girls well before he started exhibiting any signs of dementia. The good news for Biden is that few media outlets have the courage to investigate this revelation. We’ve contacted a wide range of very prominent conservative news organizations and websites (20+) to inform them of this possibility. It’s worth noting the October 7 column was not intended as a “hit piece” on Joe Biden. In fact, it’s empathetic in recognizing he has little control over his condition. He shouldn’t be mocked or ridiculed for what he says and does, especially if he can’t help it. Without naming names, which include some of the absolute leading websites, only one has responded: Cliff Kincaid’s America’s Survival, but that comes as no surprise. Cliff is one of the few honest journalists who’s completely fearless when it comes to tackling the most serious political and social issues. His website is an absolute “must read” for penetrating insight into the issues of the day. The reluctance of the others to dig into the issue leads me to a disturbing conclusion: Are some of them truly conservative, or are they merely disinformation sites designed to pay lip service to make conservatives think they might have a voice? The Deep State has a far reach. Look how alleged conservative publications like The National Review and The Weekly Standard carry “Never Trump” water. They were co-opted well before Donald Trump appeared on the scene and populated with neo-con warmongers. In contacting these various organizations, we’ve had to jump over a number of hurdles because they make it very difficult to provide possible news tips. Those publications and websites that are open to news tips do very little in terms of follow-up. When I was a newspaper reporter, I was open to news tips. I never discounted people offering them. I kept an open mind, gave them the opportunity to present their information, and if I decided it was not worth pursuing, I provided the courtesy of explaining why. The fact is, I got a number of great stories simply because I kept an open mind and made it clear I was approachable. Far too many media today have an agenda and a narrative they want to sell. They don’t care about the truth. They simply fear running afoul of The Deep State. We don’t! The Deep State must be eradicated! Thank God there is still one newspaper left in America that functions like it’s supposed to: The New York Post. |
