CHINA - China has quietly taken over a staggering 115 British firms in the past ten years, a bombshell new study has revealed. More than a third of the companies involved in a new scheme by Xi Jinping were identified as British companies in key industries. British companies in aviation, energy, defence and data, have all been acquired under Xi’s ‘Made in China 2025’ goal. In their report, the Henry Jackson Society said: “The Government must make sure that it urgently reviews all of these prior acquisitions to ascertain the full extent of how compromised the UK might be by foreign corporate ownership.” The UK Government has put forward the National Security and Investment Bill in the Commons this week. Under this, the Government has the power to scrutinise and intervene in business transactions. Once passed, the legislation will create an added protection for British companies within 17 sectors, including defence and energy.

USA - Even Jerome Powell is admitting that the boom years are over. For months, I have been trying to explain to my readers that the debt-fueled “prosperity” that we were enjoying prior to the COVID pandemic won’t be coming back, and initially I received quite a bit of criticism for saying that. But that criticism has subsided, because at this point pretty much everyone can see the truth. Despite stimulus package after stimulus package, and despite unprecedented intervention by the Federal Reserve, we continue to be mired in the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

SOUTH AMERICA - The world watched as California and the Amazon went up in flames this year, but the largest tropical wetland on earth has been ablaze for months, largely unnoticed by the outside world. South America's Pantanal region has been hit by the worst wildfires in decades. The blazes have already consumed about 28% of the vast floodplain that stretches across parts of Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. They are still not completely under control. The fires have destroyed unique habitats and wrecked the livelihoods of many of the Pantanal's diverse indigenous communities. But their damaging impact reaches far beyond the region.

USA - US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said the COVID-19 pandemic had led to "previously unimaginable" curbs on individual liberty, singling out restrictions on religious events. The justice, who is seen as a conservative, told a meeting of the Federalist Society late on Thursday he was not underplaying the severity of the crisis or criticizing any officials for their response. But he added: "We have never before seen restrictions as severe, extensive and prolonged as those experienced for most of 2020."

USA - President Trump just received a big victory from a judge in Pennsylvania. The ruling will throw out THOUSANDS of votes that came into the PA voting precincts with no voter identification. This does not take into account the even BIGGER case he will ultimately present to the Supreme Court, over the illegal voting rule changes in PA, but this ruling will certainly help his case against the state of Pennsylvania in the Supreme Court. Believe it or not, you would think such news would be FRONT PAGE as it is the FIRST of MANY anticipated favorable rulings Trump will receive on voter fraud and voter irregularities he claims stole the election from him in the hours and days following 8pm on November 3. Maybe I am on top of this so much that I am catching news as soon as it is released, but I had a very difficult time finding ANY video coverage of this important ruling on the news feeds, showing once again the absolute media bias against presenting anything positive for our President, Donald Trump.

INDIA - The Magh Mela, the annual Hindu pilgrimage to Prayagraj, India, usually attracts around 10 million people. Hindus regard Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad) as a place of great cosmic significance. Three holy rivers are said to converge there: the Ganges and the Yamuna, as well as a third, mythical river called the Saraswati. Pilgrims come to bathe in the sacred waters and cleanse themselves of their sins, hoping to achieve moksha — liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Even during the pandemic, many believers will feel drawn to attend. Officials announced last month that it will go ahead as planned this winter — despite the country’s high number of new COVID-19 cases. Governments and religious leaders around the world have struggled over how to handle major faith observances and rituals this year. Christians limited celebrations of Easter and Jews, of the High Holidays. As few as 1,000 Muslims attended the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, rather than the usual two million.

USA - Never in history have so many media and Deep State powers allied together to terrorize, defraud, and even destroy individuals, property, businesses and the American economy. In four years, we have witnessed five attempts to overthrow the presidency: Russiagate, Shampeachment, Plandemic, widespread public rioting and looting, and open, shameless ballot-rigging and election manipulation in dozens of states.

USA - No matter how the presidential election ends, one of President Donald Trump’s myriad achievements stands above all others: he has exposed the unprecedented degree of rot and corruption that pervades the American system. More specifically, Trump has exposed the ruling class: the bipartisan political establishment and its adjuncts in Big Tech, the corporate media, Big Business and Woke Capital, the academy, and across the commanding heights of American society.

USA - Chairman of the US Federal Election Commission Trey Trainor believes voter fraud is taking place in states still counting ballots and that the 2020 US Presidential Elections is illegitimate. During a Friday appearance on Newsmax TV’s “National Report,” Trainor said locations not granting observers access to watch the ballot counting process COULD be involved in voter fraud. “I do believe that there is voter fraud taking place in these places,” he said. “Otherwise they would allow the observers to go in.”

USA - The November 3rd election was the “most secure in American history” and “there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The statement follows numerous claims of supposed election fraud by President Donald Trump and his allies. “While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too,” the statement continues.

USA - “Trumpism without Trump” is what America needs in four years, said conservative author Ann Coulter during a lecture at the University of Texas at Austin on Thursday night hosted by the university’s Young Conservatives of Texas. In a wide-ranging speech that reached far beyond the event’s proposed topic of immigration, the political commentator explained to a socially-distanced crowd of 97 people why she believes the 2020 US presidential election has produced “the best of all possible outcomes” for conservatives. “The reason I’m very happy that [President] Trump lost – and lost narrowly – is that a second term of Trump would have killed us,” Coulter said. “What we want, and what I think we can get in four years, is Trumpism without Trump,” she said. Coulter defined “Trumpism” as America taking care of its own people first.

USA - Acting US Defense Secretary Christopher Miller is apparently preparing to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, saying the conflict "isn't over," but adding that "all wars must end." “This is the critical phase in which we transition our efforts from a leadership to supporting role,” Miller said on Friday in a letter to all Department of Defense employees. “We are not a people of perpetual war. It is the antithesis of everything for which we stand and for which our ancestors fought. All wars must end.” Trump is challenging the election results in court, based on allegations of fraud by voters and election officials, but he also appears to be acting with increased urgency to fulfill his 2016 campaign promise of ending the war in Afghanistan, which has now dragged on for 19 years – making it the longest in the history of the US.

USA - Despite campaign-trail overtures to progressives, a Joe Biden presidency seems to spell a return to normalcy in the most time-honored American way: by placing the military-industrial complex in charge of the country’s defense. Joe Biden’s campaign message focused almost entirely on Donald Trump, and on Biden’s supposed ability to “unify” a polarized electorate and “restore the soul of America.” Since he claimed victory last week, Biden’s prospective administration has begun to take shape, and the reality behind the rhetoric has started to emerge. On matters of defense, restoring America’s “soul” apparently means placing weapons manufacturers back in charge of the Pentagon. Biden announced his Department of Defense landing team on Tuesday. Of these 23 policy experts, one third have taken funding from arms manufacturers, according to a report published this week by Antiwar.com.

USA - Based on Reports By Auditors, IT Specialists, Data Analysts, and Statisticians – The Number of Illegitimate Votes Identified In Four Swing States Are Enough to Overturn Election. In a little over a week, groups of volunteer IT specialists, Data Analysts, Auditors and more, have uncovered enough potential fraud to overturn the 2020 Election.

USA - President Trump, facing the prospect of leaving the White House in defeat in just 70 days, is harnessing the power of the federal government to resist the results of an election that he lost, something that no sitting president has done in American history. In the latest sign of defiance, the president’s senior cabinet secretary fueled concerns on Tuesday that Mr. Trump would resist handing over power to President-elect Joseph R Biden Jr after legal challenges to the vote. “There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.
