Questions Surround Canadian Shipment of Deadly Viruses to China

Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory shipped Ebola and Henipah viruses to Beijing on March 31, raising suspicions from experts in biochemical warfare, who say they think China may use the pathogens to develop offensive biological agents. 

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) report that the incident has not introduced any known risk to public health, according to the Winnipeg Free Press. 

The same lab is the focus of an ongoing investigation by the RCMP. The inquiry began following the recent dismissal of the head of the National Microbiology Laboratory’s (NML) Vaccine Development and Antiviral Therapies section in the Special Pathogens Program, virologist Xiangguo Qiu. Qiu, her colleague and husband Keding Cheng, and a number of her international students lost security clearance to their lab on July 5.  

In 2018, Govenor General Julie Payette presented Qiu with an innovation award for her helping to lead the development of the Ebola vaccine ZMapp, according to the Winnipeg Free Press. There are no reports as to whether she was involved in the March shipment.

Ebola and Henipah viruses—classified as Category A and C bioterrorism agents by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, respectively—pose a threat to national security because of their potential to be easily disseminated, cause high morbidity and mortality rates, and deliver lasting blows to public health. They are also categorized as Risk Group 4 pathogens, meaning they can only be handled in a lab with the highest level of biosafety control, according to CBC News.

YouTube censors Dr. Ron Paul’s Liberty Report after video questioning Bill Gates

Former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul has been censored by YouTube again, this time for posting an episode of his political talk show titled “What’s in it for Bill Gates – Does He Want To Rule The World?” which YouTube deemed to be “medical misinformation.”

In the episode, Dr. Paul and his co-host Daniel McAdams, Executive Director of The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, discussed recent coronavirus statistics that had been released, the negative economic impacts of lockdowns, the way governors and police forces have used the coronavirus to exert power, the media’s coronavirus fear mongering, and speculated on Bill Gates’ motives amid the pandemic.

Specifically, they noted that Gates has “all the money he could possibly need,” stated that Gates has “a demonstrated history and track record of believing very strongly that the world is overpopulated and that we need population control,” and referenced news reports of Gates-backed vaccines causing polio outbreaks in Africa.

REVEALED: FedEx killer was a ‘Brony’ obsessed with My Little Pony and bought two rifles after his shotgun was seized under Red Flag Law ‘because he never had a competency hearing’

The gunman who killed eight at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis was a ‘Brony’ obsessed with the children’s cartoon My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, who was allowed to legally purchase rifles despite having his own shotgun seized.

Brandon Scott Hole, 19, never had a competency hearing after police seized his gun over suicide concerns last year under Indiana’s ‘red flag’ gun law, records show. 

If a judge had found him dangerous or incompetent at the hearing, Hole would have been barred from buying another gun. If not, his shotgun would have been returned to him under state law. 

Public records show his gun was seized last March 3, after his mother called the authorities over concerns Hole had said he wanted to commit ‘suicide by cop’. However, the nation then went into lockdown as the coronavirus pandemic gripped the globe, closing courts, which may explain why he never received a hearing. 

Meanwhile, investigators continued to seek a motive in the massacre as Hole’s bizarre final Facebook post offered little insight on what drove him to the shooting.

FedEx gunman was previously questioned by FBI over mother’s concerns he might commit ‘suicide by cop’

The 19-year-old former FedEx employee suspected of killing eight and wounding five people during a rampage at an Indianapolis warehouse was questioned by the FBI last year after his mother claimed he had suicidal ideas.

Police responded to the massive FedEx facility southwest of the Indianapolis international airport late on Thursday. They found multiple casualties and the suspect dead, of what they said was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

He was identified by the media – but not yet by the authorities – as Brandon Scott Hole, who worked at that FedEx facility but was fired last year.

Paul Keenan, FBI’s special agent in charge at the Indianapolis office, confirmed on Friday that the suspect had been interviewed by the Bureau’s agents in April 2020.

“In March 2020, the suspect’s mother contacted law enforcement to report he might try to commit ‘suicide by cop’. The suspect was placed on an immediate detention mental health temporary hold by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. A shotgun was seized at his residence,” Keenan said in a statement.

What Was The Vatican Searching For When They Built Secret Tunnel Under Jerusalem Church?

The Vatican has constructed a secret underground tunnel in Jerusalem that has infuriated a local preservation group who claim the tunnel resides in a sensitive area that may contain antiquities and other artifacts.  

The Regavim Movement, a research-based think tank and lobbying group dedicated to preserving Israel’s national lands and resources, recently filed a petition with the Jerusalem District Court, demanding the city take action against the illegal underground tunnel. 

According to the petition submitted to the Jerusalem District Court, the Regavim Movement alleges the church concealed the existence of the 100-meter long tunnel that infringes on public property in an area allegedly known for archaeological remains.

Boulder Shooting Suspect Ahmad Al-Issa Was On FBI’s Radar Prior To Shooting Spree

Today the FBI revealed that, as seems to happen in virtually every terrorist attack or mass shooting, the FBI was aware of Boulder, Colorado shooting suspect Ahmad Al-Issa prior to yesterday’s deadly shooting.

According to The New York Times, “The suspect’s identity was known to the F.B.I. because he was linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau, according to law enforcement officials.”

National File has confirmed that Al-Issa is  a devout Muslim who believes in conspiracies, including that “racist Islamophobic people” are hacking into his phone, and that there was more than one shooter involved in the tragic Christchurch Mosque Shooting in New Zealand. On his now-scrubbed Facebook page, Al-Issa also frequently read and shared negative news about President Donald Trump, written by mainstream publications including The Washington Post, The Intercept, and PBS.

Oregon Authorities Investigating Another Series of Mysterious Cattle Mutilations

Authorities in Oregon are investigating yet another series of mysterious cattle mutilations that have been plaguing the state for the last few years in what might best be described as a slowly unfolding flap. The latest development came to light earlier this month when the Crook County Sheriff’s Office issued a press release wherein they announced to the public that they were in the process of investigating “multiple suspicious cattle deaths” which occurred on “very rural ranch land as well as public BLM land.”

Although the bulletin was lacking in details such as where and when the incidents had specifically occurred, it did provide one rather tantalizing insight, indicating that “the cause of these cattle deaths were not natural.” Sergeant Mitch Madden of the Sheriff’s Office subsequently provided a bit more information to a local TV station, telling them that they were investigating three cases as well as a possible fourth event and that, in each instance, “certain body parts were removed from the cows.”

Treasure Hunters Press FBI for Answers on Suspicious Pennsylvania Dig

In the latest twist in a rather contentious legal battle between a father-and-son treasure hunting team and the federal government, emails obtained by the duo seemingly strengthen their argument that the FBI secretly recovered a long-lost horde of Civil War gold and are hiding the discovery from the public. The strange saga began back in March of 2018 when federal agents unexpectedly descended upon a Pennsylvania state forest to excavate a spot where Dennis and Kem Parada believe that a legendary bevy of gold bars had been buried after they went missing in the summer of 1863.

Given the specificity of where the FBI was digging, it was widely assumed that they were looking for the lost treasure, but the federal government only said at the time that they were investigating a “cultural heritage site.” Claiming to have been promised access to the site as the excavation unfolded, the Paradas later expressed misgivings about the whole affair because authorities kept them from observing the project and, once it was completed, told them that nothing was found at the spot. Since that time, the treasure hunters have been on a different kind of quest: a litigious search for proof that the federal government is not being honest about the dig and that, in fact, they had recovered the lost gold.
