PBS Hosts Neo-Nazi Ukraine Mayor, Blurs Image of ‘Hitler Accomplice’ Behind Him.

America’s Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) has published and promoted an interview with a renowed Neo-Nazi Ukrainian mayor, without disclosing the politician’s allegiances to World War II German leader Adolf Hitler and Ukraine’s own Nazi sympathizer Stepan Bandera.

The interview comes just days after PBS published an article downplaying the links between Neo-Nazi politicians and Ukraine’s current political situation.

On Thursday, March 4th, PBS hosted Mayor Artem Semenikhin of Konotop in the country’s North East.

Semenikhin described the Russian military as “cockroaches” before going on to thank the United States for supplying his people with weapons.

“My weapon is American, and I feel like our occupiers will be pleased that we are killing them with American weapons,” he concluded.

But Semenikhin is scarcely the liberty-minded freedom fighter PBS would have him seem. In 2015 the Jerusalem Post reported:

Two months after local elections were held across Ukraine, residents of the small northern city of Konotop are expressing shock and dismay over the behavior of newly chosen Mayor Artem Semenikhin of the neo-Nazi Svoboda party.

According to reports, Semenikhin drives around in a car bearing the number 14/88, a numerological reference to the phrases “we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” and “Heil Hitler”; replaced the picture of President Petro Poroshenko in his office with a portrait of Ukrainian national leader and Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera; and refused to fly the city’s official flag at the opening meeting of the city council because he objected to the star of David emblazoned on it. The flag also features a Muslim crescent and a cross.

In fact, during the PBS interview Semenikhin posed with a Bandera portrait behind him, albeit blurred out by the network in their attempts to obscure their work with Ukrainian Neo-Nazis.

Pizza Hut Pushes Anti-Racism Training For Teachers, Talks Of America’s ‘History Of Police Brutality And Systemic Racism’

Pizza Hut, through its Pizza Hut Foundation, is presenting training pamphlets for teachers that make statements such as “Racism exists within and beyond schools and communities of learning,” “The myth of a racial hierarchy remains a dominant part of America’s culture,” and “Acts of violence against Black communities are often identified on social media by the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter.”

In a pamphlet titled, “Empowering Educators: A Guidebook on Race and Racism,” it states, “The Empowering Educators Guidebook provides support for educators seeking to increase their personal awareness of race and racism, as well as direction on how to ground learning environments through inclusive curriculum and diverse, affirming literature.”

The pamphlet refers to America’s history of systemic racism as it talks about the death of George Floyd: “Floyd’s murder, along with other acts of violence against Black men and women leading up to and after his death, spurred global protests as America continues to reckon with its history of police brutality and systemic racism.”

It continues by arguing, “Many antiracist experts note that racism in America is not perpetuated by ‘bad’ people. Rather, racism is maintained by laws, policies, and normalized practices that are upheld consciously and unconsciously by those who knowingly or unknowingly benefit from them,” adding, “Although many people don’t engage in individual acts of racism, they still benefit from racist policies, practices, and social norms.”

It champions the “reality” of intersectionality, writing, “A person who is Black and female, for example, experiences discrimination and disadvantage differently than a person who is White and female. This concept of intersectionality was coined in 1989 by Dr. Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw. She describes how a person’s social identities such as race, class, and gender coincide to create overlapping systems of disadvantage. When developing your awareness, it is important to acknowledge this reality for students, families, and colleagues.”

Quoting the author of “Anti-Bias Education For Young Children and Ourselves,” the pamphlet states, “Children as young as three-years-old begin to show evidence of societal messages affecting how they feel about themselves or their group identity—this is the beginning of internalized superiority or internalized oppression.”

In a section titled, “Microaggresions,” the pamphlet states, “Microassaults are overt attacks intended to communicate discriminatory or biased feelings about a person or group,” followed by this example: “An educator calls on all White students before calling on any BIPOC students. (Underlying message: I don’t see you as equal to White students.)”

Then this: “Microinsults often come across as compliments, but they convey insensitivity or rudeness that demeans a person’s identity,” with the example, “‘You are so articulate.’ (Underlying message: It is unusual for someone of your race to be intelligent.)”

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky: “Nobody” Predicted Jabs’ Waning Immunity

“Nobody” predicted that covid shots would have waning immunity, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told Washington University School of Medicine on Thursday.

Transcript via Alex Berenson:

I can tell you where I was when the CNN feed came that it was 95 percent effective, the vaccine. So many of us wanted to be hopeful, so many of us wanted to say, okay, this is our ticket out, right, now we’re done. So I think we had perhaps too little caution and too much optimism for some good things that came our way. I really do. I think all of us wanted this to be done.

Nobody said waning, when when you know, oh this vaccine’s going to work. Oh well, maybe it’ll work – (laughs) it’ll wear off.

Nobody said what if the next variant doesn’t, it doesn’t, it’s not as potent against the next variant.

There’s a whole lot to unpack here.

1. Walensky has no understanding of respiratory viruses or the long history of failed attempts to make vaccines for cold viruses like rhinovirus, RSV and coronavirus.

2. She refuses to admit her own wrongdoings or take any responsibility and instead passes her failures off onto “all of us” because “we” had “perhaps too little caution and too much optimism.”

3. Rather than acknowledge the skeptics who predicted these rushed covid “vaccines” wouldn’t work as promised, she just acts like they don’t exist.

4. She’s finally admitting the “miracle” vaccines she relentlessly shilled no longer work.

5. She heard the news of the vax being “95% effective” from CNN and (6.) she actually believed it.

Biden-Backing Democrat Mayor Charged With Child Porn Possession.

Aformer Oregon Mayor who donated to Joe Biden’s campaign and collaborated with the Obama administration has been arrested on child pornography charges.

Dennis Doyle, 73, served as the Mayor of Beaverton, Oregon from 2008 until 2021, and during his time in office, allegedly “knowingly and unlawfully possessed digital material containing child pornography.”

The Department of Justice notes that the pornographic content Doyle possessed between November 2014 and December 2015 included “images defying minors under twelve.”

Doyle, who also served as a Beaverton city councilor for 14 years before becoming mayor, was a vocal proponent of combatting climate change through pursuing “green” development polices.

In an interview with Inside Climate News, Doyle reveals he was “pretty active” in environmental activism in the ‘60s while explaining his decision to join the Obama administration’s Better Buildings Challenge.

How government over-classification may hide UFO videos and harm our security

Remember those videos taken by U.S. military pilots showing unidentified objects flying at incredible speeds and executing impossible maneuvers? They’ve appeared widely in various media since 2017, but soon — if DOD gets its way — you may not be able to watch them, thanks to a move to classify all such videos and other materials relating to UFOs, officially known as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). 

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Avril Haines recently acknowledged that excessive government classification undermines U.S. national security. As she wrote in January in a letter to U.S. senators, “It is my view that deficiencies in the current classification system undermine our national security, as well as critical democratic objectives, by impeding our ability to share information in a timely manner.”

She also acknowledged that excessive classification damages the public’s faith in government and “reduces the Intelligence Community’s capacity to effectively support senior policymaker decision-making.”

The DNI’s testimony followed that of senior military officers who have complained to Congress regarding excessive classification.

This is, in fact, a problem familiar to anyone who has worked extensively with classified U.S. government information. 

The DNI’s concerns are particularly timely and important. As I used to remind my security and counterintelligence colleagues in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, we did not win the Cold War because we were better at protecting information; we won the Cold War because we were much better at moving and sharing information, especially in the private marketplace, where the resulting efficiencies and innovation enabled us to consistently outpace and outperform the Soviet Union.
