Self-described 'openly queer' press secretary marks Lesbian Visibility Week from the White House podium



White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre celebrated homosexuality on Tuesday as she was flanked by four women affiliated with the Showtime series "The L Word" and "The L Word: Generation Q."

"So this week is Lesbian Visibility Week, and as the first openly queer person" to serve as White House press secretary, "I see everyday how important visibility and representation are," Jean-Pierre declared while opening Tuesday's briefing.

"As a young queer woman of color I felt alone and sometimes invisible," she said. "Being able to see diverse narratives that reflect our lives is incredibly important," Pierre said. "This week is a testament to how far we've come and the work that remains to advance equality to all people."

"We're honored to have the opportunity to be here today standing beside the first out-lesbian press secretary in our history, who serves the most pro-LGBTQI president in our history," Ilene Chaiken, co-creator of "The L Word," said while delivering remarks after Jean-Pierre.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday officially announced his re-election bid, and Jean-Pierre has noted that if he wins re-election, Biden would serve the full term. "I can confirm that if re-elected, @POTUS would serve all 8 years," Jean-Pierre tweeted.

\u201cAs you know, we take following the law seriously. So I wanted to be sure that I didn't go into 2024 more than is appropriate under the law. But I can confirm that if re-elected, @POTUS would serve all 8 years.\u201d

Biden, who became the oldest president in history at the time of his 2021 inauguration, would be 86 years old by the end of a second term.

"Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours. That's why I'm running for reelection as President of the United States. Join us. Let's finish the job," Biden tweeted on Tuesday.

Twitter flags the CBC, Australian Broadcast Corporation, and other state broadcasters as 'government-funded media'



Twitter has gone farther to highlight the cozy linkages between various media outlets and the governments in their respective countries after recently labeling NPR and PBS as statist media outfits.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Radio New Zealand (RNZ), and the Australian Broadcast Corporation (ABC News), along with other media outlets, have been tagged on the platform as "Government-funded Media." Although initially flagged "government-funded," the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has since been rebranded as "Publicly-funded media."

Conservatives who have long criticized these media outfits for their apparent lack of distance from centralized power have lauded the decision, whereas some liberals have derided Twitter's efforts to increase transparency as an attack on democracy and the public trust.

\u201cNEW: Twitter media labels have been added in the following countries:\n\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6 Canada: CBC\n\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa Australia: ABC \n\ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddff New Zealand: Radio NZ\n\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 United Kingdom: BBC\nThe labels note that these outlets receive public or government funding. They now join the ranks of US media outlets CBS & NPR.\u201d
— TexasLindsay\u2122 (@TexasLindsay\u2122) 1681700926

Degrees of separation

According to Twitter's definitions, these labels "provide additional context for accounts heavily engaged in geopolitics and diplomacy."

Whereas a "state-affiliated media account" is defined as "outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution," a "government-funded media account" is "defined as outlets where the government provides some or all of the outlet’s funding and may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content."

Finally, for publicly funded media accounts, "Publicly-funded media refers to media organizations that receive funding from license fees, individual contributions, public financing, and commercial financing."

Canadian state media, 'government-funded'

Just as NPR and its devotees took issue with its new designation on Twitter, going so far as to quit the platform, the CBC lashed out in a statement obtained by the Toronto Star, itself a government-subsidized paper.

"Twitter’s own policy defines government-funded media as cases where the government 'may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content,' which is clearly not the case with CBC/Radio-Canada," said the statement. "CBC/Radio-Canada is publicly funded through a parliamentary appropriation that is voted upon by all Members of Parliament. Its editorial independence is protected in law in the Broadcasting Act."

Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson responded, tweeting, "A Twitter triumph for @JustinTrudeau and, indeed, all Canadians! @elonmusk has awarded @cbc the prestigious government-funded media designation! Our humble local broadcaster joins luminaries such as @NPR in receipt of this singular honor. Veritable shades of Pravda!"

Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, wrote, "CBC officially exposed as 'government-funded media.' Now people know that it is Trudeau propaganda, not news."

\u201cBREAKING: CBC officially exposed as \u201cgovernment-funded media\u201d.\n\nNow people know that it is Trudeau propaganda, not news. \n\nSign here to save $1 billion & defund the CBC: https://t.co/R8BvsAcR3O\u201d
— Pierre Poilievre (@Pierre Poilievre) 1681689197

Rachel Gilmore, a reporter for Global News — which also receives money from the Canadian government — denounced the move by Twitter and its celebration by Poilievre, writing, "This is beyond disturbing. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling a national Canadian news organization 'propaganda' and 'not news.' This is a craven attack on the truth, democracy."

The CBC admits on its website that it received over $1 billion in operating funding, $109 million in capital funding, and $4 million in working capital from the Trudeau government this year alone.

Despite 100% of the population funding the CBC, as of 2020, less than 4% of the population tuned in, reported the Globe and Mail.

While its viewership appears to be ever shrinking, the Liberal government has repeatedly promised to boost the state broadcaster's funding. For instance, in the 2015 election, the Trudeau Liberals promised to throw an addition $150 million in taxpayer funds to the CBC, extra to its $1.1 billion in base government funding, reported the Toronto Sun.

In addition to its leadership openly badmouthing and waging lawfare against conservatives, the CBC, promised support by leftist politicians, reportedly undercuts private media outlets and competition, in part by distorting the ad market. Additionally, the CBC, like the Liberal government, has been accused of utilizing government funding to advance identitarian and other woke programming.

Poilievre is actively campaigning to get the CBC defunded. An Angus Reid poll conducted in March 2022 found that there is strong support among Canadian conservatives for cutting the CBC loose.

Although not the full measure he seeks, Poilievre nevertheless pressed Twitter in an April 11 letter to "apply the Government-funded Media label to the CBC's various news-related accounts, including @CBC, @CBCNews, and @CBCAlerts."

At the time of publication, the primary CBC account had been flagged as government-funded, but @CBCNews and @CBCAlerts accounts have yet to be tagged.

Jeffrey Dvorkin, a former managing editor at CBC Radio and vice president of news and information at NPR, told the Toronto Star, "Public broadcasting is under increasing criticism and attack these days because the very idea that there may be some connection to government funding is seen by some people, especially on the conservative side of things, as a bad thing."

Australian state media, 'government-funded'

After getting the "government-funded" branding on Twitter, the ABC pushed for the "publicly-funded" tag that the BBC ultimately secured. It has yet to seen any change in its status.

The Australian state broadcaster wrote on Twitter, "FYI: The ABC is a publicly funded broadcaster, governed by the ABC Charter which is enshrined in legislation. For more than 90 years the ABC has always been and remains an independent media organisation, free from political and commercial interests."

Unlike NPR, the ABC indicated it would continue posting to its Twitter account after receiving the label.

A spokesman for the state media outfit told Crikey, "The ABC doesn’t currently have any plans to shut down all its Twitter accounts. ... We’re liaising with Twitter regarding changes to account verification and labels."

Some critics have suggested that ABC News' favorable coverage of the Australian government's quarantine camps, COVID protocols, and clampdowns on lockdown protesters was indicative of government ties stronger than the organization lets on.

\u201cThank you @elonmusk for labeling @abcnews a government-funded media group.\n\nHere is an Australia throwback when they were rolling out quarantine camps.\n\n https://t.co/J3codnr3ur\u201d

New Zealand state media, 'government-funded'

RNZ, which reportedly receives nearly $50 million a year from the government, has threatened to leave the platform over its new label.

Megan Whelan, head of content for the state broadcaster, said in a Twitter statement Sunday, "RNZ’s editorial independence is enshrined in our charter and editorial policy. Twitter’s own policy defines government-funded media as cases where the government 'may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content', which does not apply to RNZ."

"Not only is our editorial independence protected by the law, we guard it vigorously. Over the next few days, we will be considering our options," continued the statement. "Including talking to Twitter to have the label removed or revised, or as other public media around the world have done, leave the platform," continued the statement.

British state media, 'government-funded'

Although the BBC persuaded Twitter to change its designation from "government-funded media" to "publicly-funded media," the British government has highlighted that it has directly funded counter-information campaigns at the BBC.

For instance, on March 24, 2022, the British government stated that the "BBC gets emergency funding to fight Russian disinformation" to the tune of £4.1 million. The purpose of this funding, which was extra to the so-called public funding raised by the mandatory license fees imposed upon the British citizenry, was "to help it increase trusted and independent content to counter disinformation about the war in Ukraine."

The BBC contended last week that it was "independent," and Musk, in turn, said that the state media broadcaster was one of the "least biased" outlets.

Canada's top intelligence agency: Chinese communist regime worked to help Justin Trudeau win 2021 election, calling his liberals 'the only party that the PRC can support'



Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has previously noted his admiration for China's "basic dictatorship." According to Canada's top spy agency, that admiration may go both ways.

The Globe and Mail reported that secret and top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents have exposed how the genocidal Chinese regime conducted an interference operation throughout the 2021 election cycle in Canada, which saw Trudeau's Liberal Party hold onto power. Trudeau's government went on to declare martial law, freeze peaceful protesters' bank accounts, and exercise some other qualities its leader may have admired in other governments.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has accused Trudeau of ignoring the interference because it managed to benefit his scandal-plagued party.

What are the details?

According to the Globe and Mail, CSIS found that an "orchestrated machine" was operating in Canada with two aims: "to ensure that a minority Liberal government was returned in 2021, and that certain Conservative candidates identified by China were defeated."

The leadership of the Chinese Communist Party was "pressuring its consulates to create strategies to leverage politically [active] Chinese community members and associations within Canadian society," said the report.

TheBlaze previously reported that CCP agents have been conducting extralegal and clandestine policing operations in Canada to intimidate and hunt down persons wanted by Beijing. Safeguard Defenders, a European pan-Asian human rights NGO, revealed that at least three communist police stations were operating in Toronto alone. Those observed by the CSIS appear to be of a higher caliber and scope.

The CSIS documents indicated that Chinese agents were politically weaponized against conservatives and put to work making sure that Trudeau was reelected, albeit with a relatively impotent minority government.

One consular official at an unnamed Chinese diplomatic mission in Canada claimed ahead of the election that China liked "it when the parties in Parliament are fighting with each other, whereas if there is a majority, the party in power can easily implement policies that do not favour the PRC."

While the Liberal Party may have been superficially critical of China, the official suggested that Trudeau's cadre was still preferable to the Conservative Party.

To ensure Trudeau could carry on with his "sunny ways," CCP forces "employed disinformation campaigns and proxies connected to Chinese-Canadian organizations" in populous areas such as the Greater Toronto Area and Vancouver, in an effort to pit Chinese immigrant communities against Conservatives and to support the Trudeau Liberals.

When pitting immigrants against Trudeau's opposition, Chinese operatives claimed that Conservatives were too critical of China and might endeavor to follow former President Donald Trump's lead and take measures to prevent Beijing's agents from stealing intellectual property, spying, and other such international improprieties.

The consular official underscored that "the Liberal Party of Canada is becoming the only party that the PRC can support."

Extra to smearing the Conservatives on behalf of Trudeau's party — and, by extension, a regime running open concentration camps — Chinese agents reportedly employed various tactics to boost Liberals, such as "undeclared cash donations to political campaigns or having business owners hire international Chinese students and 'assign them to volunteer in electoral campaigns on a full-time basis.'"

Those who shelled out money for CCP-designated candidates not only benefitted from tax credits from Trudeau's federal government, but were returned "the difference between the original donation and the government's refund" by CCP forces.

The CSIS noted that China's former consul general in Vancouver, Tong Xialing, was among the operatives adamant that the Liberal Party win the 2021 election.

After allegedly doing the CCP's bidding, Tong, formerly China's ambassador to Brunei, returned to China in 2022.

Charles Burton, a former diplomat in Canada’s Beijing embassy and a senior fellow with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, said "The fact that her posting extended for an unusually long period of five years suggests that the Chinese Communist Party felt that her job performance was furthering China's agenda in the Vancouver area very well," reported the Bowen Island Undercurrent.

In addition to helping the CCP and the Trudeau Liberals beat the Conservatives, Tong sought to downplay the possibility that COVID-19 originated in China, demanding that the Province newspaper apologize for using the words "China virus." Tong was also instrumental in getting badly needed personal protective equipment out of Canada and in China at the outset of the pandemic.

Burton noted in August 2022 that Tong had been "exceptionally effective" in advancing China's United Front Work Department foreign influence program, which the Australian Strategic Policy Institute reportedly recognized not only as the "exportation of the CCP's political system," but a calculated means to undermine social cohesion, increase racial acrimony, and facilitate CCP crimes against foreign nations.

While effective, Tong was merely a cog in a vast and comprehensive "machine" geared toward weakening Canada and cementing Trudeau's grasp on power.

This campaign was not limited to 2021, however.

According to the report, members of the Canadian parliament are now looking into allegations that Beijing similarly worked to elect 11 mostly Liberal candidates in 2019.

An unredacted 2020 national security document revealed that the CCP utilized so-called community groups to covertly move money from Chinese officials to Canadian members of an election interference network, reported Global News.

The document underscored that such operations were "likely to be more persistent and pervasive in future elections."

To the victor goes the indifference

Trudeau claimed in November that he had no knowledge of China funding federal candidates during the 2019 and 2021 elections, and he dodged questions about whether he was ever informed of efforts by the genocidal regime to meddle in Canadian politics, reported the Globe and Mail.

Trudeau's government set up a task force to monitor security and intelligence threats to elections, which similarly failed to acknowledge or issue public warnings about foreign interference.

Concerning the most recent revelations, the leftist prime minister — narrowly cleared last week for declaring martial law in early 2022 to bring an end to a peaceful anti-vaccine mandate protest — downplayed Beijing's meddling and corresponding efforts to help him as "not a new phenomenon" and as "something that countries around the world have been grappling with for a long time."

Former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole, whose party won the popular vote in the 2021 election, but failed to secure enough seats in parliament, noted that his party lost at least eight seats owing to Chinese election interference.

Tom Kmiec, a member of parliament, asked, "Did the prime minister turn a blind eye to foreign interference because he stood to gain from it politically?"

Current Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre claimed Friday that "Justin Trudeau knew about this interference, and he covered it up because he benefited from it. ... He's perfectly happy to let a foreign, authoritarian government interfere in our elections as long as they're helping him."

\u201cThis explains a lot today.\u201d
— Pierre Poilievre (@Pierre Poilievre) 1676657672

Canadian state media — which Poilievre has both implied is a propaganda outfit for the Trudeau Liberals and promised to defund — parroted Trudeau's suggestion that the Chinese interference did not ultimately change the outcome of the election.

"Canada has some of the best and most robust elections in the world, and all Canadians can have total confidence that the outcomes of the 2019 and 2021 elections were determined by Canadians, and Canadians alone, at the voting booth," said Trudeau.

A CSIS spokesman told Canadian state media, "Although Canada's electoral system is strong, foreign interference can erode trust and threaten the integrity of our democratic institutions, political system, fundamental rights and freedoms, and ultimately, our sovereignty."

The agency's findings have reportedly been shared among senior government officials, as well as Canada's Five Eyes intelligence allies, including the United States.

The Montreal Gazette reported that David Mulroney, Canada's former ambassador to China, recently told a parliamentary committee that the nation must be ready and willing to kick out Chinese diplomats involved in interference or harassment.

A "failure to do so only encourages increasingly brazen meddling," added Mulroney.

Horowitz: The media misses the lesson of Africa and COVID in plain sight



There is nowhere for the priests of Covidstan to run or hide from the failure of their prized injections. Cases in Europe are worse than ever, and America has now racked up more deaths than in 2020, when zero vaccines existed. But reality can hit these people in the face and they will still never admit that all of the human interventions failed.

As Europe battles its fifth wave and even East Asian countries begin to face serious waves of the virus, the AP wrote an article last week claiming that something "mysterious" is going on in much of continental Africa, as these African nations appear to have dodged the pandemic.

But there is something "mysterious" going on in Africa that is puzzling scientists, said Wafaa El-Sadr, chair of global health at Columbia University. "Africa doesn't have the vaccines and the resources to fight COVID-19 that they have in Europe and the U.S., but somehow they seem to be doing better," she said.
Fewer than 6% of people in Africa are vaccinated. For months, the WHO has described Africa as "one of the least affected regions in the world" in its weekly pandemic reports.

No kidding! Contrast that with Europe, where cases are now worse than at any time in the U.S., despite nearly every adult vaccinated in many continental European countries.

2 months into vaccine passports and with ~90% of adults at least partially vaccinated, cases in The Netherlands are up 942% and they\u2019re going back to lockdowns.\n\nIt\u2019s amazing the consistency with which governments will double down on failure to avoid acknowledging realitypic.twitter.com/8XA8cK9vuQ
— IM (@IM) 1637526866

Perhaps the Africans don't have enough money to pay for the rope to hang themselves with leaky vaccines, counterproductive lockdowns, and failed therapeutics like remdesivir. They can't afford to spend $3,000 per dose to have people's kidneys fail and instead are using cheap anti-malaria and anti-parasitic drugs.

Yes, it's true that Africans are younger and the countries' data is less reliable, but that cannot account for the fact that COVID deaths have been nearly nonexistent in many of these countries. Those explanations offered by the AP simply cannot bridge the gap.

Curiously, the AP posits that perhaps "past infection with parasitic diseases" as well as exposure to malaria might make people in these countries more immune to the virus. "On Friday, researchers working in Uganda said they found COVID-19 patients with high rates of exposure to malaria were less likely to suffer severe disease or death than people with little history of the disease."

Gee, why would that be? What about the pathophysiology of those diseases would make people immune to a virus? After all, we have been lectured by those so vociferously against hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin that there can't possibly be cross-relation between the immune response to a parasitic infection and the response to a viral infection.

Could it possibly be the fact that those countries happen to constantly treat themselves with drugs like ... the one that begins with the I and the one that begins with the H?

Since 1987, Merck has been funneling several hundred million doses of ivermectin per year through the Mectizan Donation Program, which includes all of the central African countries. How are the Mectizan countries doing?

And these are the countries @Merck donates Mectizan (=Ivermectin for Human use) to. Do the math.pic.twitter.com/35lAB65tq0
— Mira Moerma (@Mira Moerma) 1630477067

Now, obviously, there are multiple factors involved in the success of these countries, likely including their lack of international travel. However, it is laughable for the media to entertain parasitic infections as a contributing factor without mentioning the two drugs being used to treat COVID that are commonly used in those countries to treat parasitic infections. What is also clear is that the vaccines simply play no role in determining the trajectory of this pandemic — at least not a positive one.

In another part of the world, there is also mounting evidence that ivermectin has helped accelerate a decline in cases. While the Far East has not incurred much death from the virus, those countries have been hit by the recent Delta wave since the summer. Japan was experiencing its sharpest peak of the pandemic, but appears to have enjoyed a steeper and quicker decline since August than any other Asian country.

While it's hard to prove causation at this point, it's also hard to overlook the fact that on Aug. 13, Dr. Haruo Ozaki, chairman of the Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association, spoke favorably of the drug at a press conference.

"In Africa, if we compare countries distributing ivermectin once a year with countries which do not give ivermectin ... I mean, they don't give ivermectin to prevent COVID, but to prevent parasitic diseases ... but anyway, if we look at COVID numbers in countries that give ivermectin, the number of cases is 134.4 per 100,000, and the number of deaths is 2.2 in 100,000."

"Now, African countries which do not distribute ivermectin: 950.6 cases per 100,000 and 29.3 deaths per 100,000," Ozaki added.

"I believe the difference is clear."

A week later, Ozaki told the Yomiuri Shimbun, which is the largest circulating newspaper in the world, that he had recommended the use of the drug to the Japan Olympic Committee during the Olympics.

Ironically, Japan is the birthplace of ivermectin. In the 1970s, Dr. Satoshi Omura, a Japanese biochemist, discovered the bacteria specimen in the soil that led to the development of ivermectin, along with Dr. William Campbell, a Merck scientist. The two of them won the Nobel Prize for physiology in 2015 for this discovery.

Although ivermectin is not officially recommended by the Japanese government, it is one of the only countries where doctors and citizens have gotten a positive vibe from their government on its use.

Then, of course, there is Uttar Pradesh, the largest state in India, which has crushed its curve to the point that the virus is not just in low circulation, but essentially eradicated since June.

Typically, even when a COVID wave subsides, there is a persisting minimum baseline of cases and deaths, especially after 2-3 months. In Uttar Pradesh, on the other hand, the numbers are remarkable and have held up for a year. Obviously, a lot of the decline was likely due to built-up immunity, but it doesn't account for the fact that the cases didn't just decline to a low level, but essentially flatlined for months. Remember, this is an Indian state with a population of 240 million people. We are seeing similar trends in other Indian states that used ivermectin. The drug is so cheap and available in India that many Americans are buying ivermectin from Indian vendors oversees. (See Juan Chamie's Substack for a compelling district-by-district analysis of Uttar Pradesh's epidemiological curve.)

It is simply unheard of in any other country that experienced a large wave to then go for six straight months with essentially no cases. And again, when cases were eradicated, these Indian states had a very low vaccination rate. Almost nobody was vaccinated in the spring, and even at the end of October, just 15% were fully vaccinated in Uttar Pradesh. A similar trend has played out in Chiapas, Mexico.

No, none of this alone shows empirically that ivermectin itself is a magic pill, but what it does show is that if we are willing to pour billions of dollars and coercion into an ineffective and dangerous injection, why wouldn't we spend a fraction of those funds researching cheap, safe repurposed drugs?
