Apple Allows Chinese Communist Party Access to User Data in the Middle Kingdom

According to a damning report from The New York Times, Apple has undermined the privacy of its customers’ data in China by granting the Chinese Communist Party access. The company has also deleted tens of thousands of apps from its app store in China, specifically censoring a major critic of the Communist Party. The Times also claimed that Apple skirted U.S. law by moving Chinese customers’ data to China.

Apple has long sermonized about the importance of data privacy.

“Privacy means peace of mind, it means security, and it means you are in the driver’s seat when it comes to your own data,” Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering, said in a press release in January 2021. “Our goal is to create technology that keeps people’s information safe and protected. We believe privacy is a fundamental human right, and our teams work every day to embed it in everything we make.”

Yet, according to The New York Times, Apple has violated the privacy of its Chinese customers and enabled the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance state efforts.

In response to a 2017 Chinese law, Apple agreed to move its Chinese customers’ data to China and onto computers owned and run by a Chinese government-owned company. According to the Times, “Chinese government workers physically control and operate the data center.”

Apple agreed to store the digital keys that unlock the data in those data centers, and the company abandoned the encryption technology it uses in other data centers because China banned it.

Security experts and Apple engineers told the Times that Apple’s concessions “would make it nearly impossible for the company to stop Chinese authorities from gaining access to the emails, photos, contacts, calendars and location data of Apple’s Chinese customers.”

Biden rides fuel-guzzling limo while trumpeting electric cars, climate change agenda

President Biden will be riding in the fossil fuel-guzzling armored limousine known as the Beast when he arrives Tuesday at a Ford Motor Co. electric vehicle plant to showcase his zero-emissions agenda.

The 20,000-pound Beast, a bulked-up Cadillac, is powered by a diesel engine that is estimated to get less than 10 mpg.

Diesel automobiles boast lower carbon dioxide emissions than gasoline-powered vehicles. However, diesel cars can promote more global warming because they can emit 25 to 400 times more soot per mile, according to a Stanford University report.

Mr. Biden was traveling to Detroit aboard Air Force One and would then motor roughly 12 miles in the Beast to Ford’s Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan.

He is slated to get a preview of the new electric Ford F150 pickup truck, which weighs about 15,000 pounds less than the Beast.

Biden called ‘enemy of the unborn’ for his radical abortion support

‘Has flaunted the Church’s teachings for the last 40 years. How dare he even present himself?’

President Joe Biden has drawn criticism for receiving Communion at Mass as a politician who promotes policies explicitly opposed to Catholic teaching.

Traditional Catholic scholars warn that the president is causing great scandal by receiving Holy Communion, while progressive theologians protest that Church teaching is open to interpretation and say that abortion should not be a litmus test for Communion.

The president has spoken about his Catholicism through his entire political career, referring to his faith as a source of solace during turbulent times in his life. Biden exhibits many outward signs of his Catholicism: he frequently goes to mass, has met with Pope Francis, mentions praying the rosary and visits the cemetery where his family members are buried.

Yet as soon as he became president, Biden immediately took action to fund and promote abortion — which the Catholic Church condemns as a “crime against human life.”

Biden’s public stances on abortion previously prompted a priest to deny him Holy Communion during a 2019 Mass.

“Sadly, this past Sunday, I had to refuse Holy Communion to former Vice President Joe Biden,” Father Robert E. Morey told the Morning News. “Holy Communion signifies we are one with God, each other and the Church. Our actions should reflect that. Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching.”

The former Vice President later refused to discuss the incident, saying, “that’s my personal life.”

The Catholic Church teaches that Catholics may not receive Holy Communion if they are “conscious of a grave sin.” Catholics who have committed any grave sins must make a good confession before they can receive, according to the Church.

Covid vaccines worsen disease upon exposure, and trial participants are not being warned by doctors or researchers

Patients who participated in Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccine” clinical trials were not told that the injections could worsen disease upon exposure to challenge or circulating viruses, a new study has found.

Researchers from New York University (NYU) and Tulane University looked at available published literature to see whether or not the risks associated with Chinese Virus injection were properly disclosed to patients. They were not, it turns out, and many patients ended up learning the hard way through serious illness or death.

Both preclinical and clinical evidence exists to suggest that Wuhan Flu shots can, in fact, worsen disease upon exposure to the virus and to other viruses within the coronavirus family. These include the common cold, which many are unaware is a type of coronavirus.

Just like how flu shots have been shown to increase coronavirus infection risk, Chinese Virus vaccines damage the immune system, causing it to overreact to viral exposure and potentially induce a deadly cytokine storm.

This is a serious risk, and one that both clinical trial participants and everyday people who are lining up to get injected at the local pharmacy are simply not being told about, the new study suggests.

Wuhan Flu shots, we now know, were designed in such a way as to elicit neutralizing antibodies that end up sensitizing vaccine recipients to more severe disease. In other words, getting injected actually worsens one’s risk of developing a serious infection later on down the road.

Amazon Reportedly in Talks to Purchase MGM Studios

American company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, abbreviated as MGM, is one of the world’s oldest movie studios, with a history spanning about a century. It is behind, among many other iconic films, the Rocky and Creed franchises, along with the James Bond franchise.

Amazon is “weeks into” negotiations to purchase Metro Goldwyn Mayer for about $9 billion, according to a Monday report by Variety.

The deal is reportedly being orchestrated by a senior VP of Amazon Studios and Prime Video, Mike Hopkins, who is in direct contact with MGM board chairman Kevin Ulrich.

Amazon Unbound perfectly charts Jeff Bezos’ journey from bookselling nerd to untamable egomaniac whose mission is to save mankind

A new book explains how the world’s richest man is pursuing wild interplanetary plans funded by an army of Chinese online sellers, sponsored adverts and Hollywood movies. It’ll make you want to cancel your Prime subscription.

When megabucks gazillionaire Jeff Bezos began including helicopter pads in the building plans for Amazon’s ever-expanding property empire, it was a sure sign that the man who turned bookselling into the biggest business on the planet had broken free of his moorings.

Bug-eyed Bezos was smitten with the new woman in his life, TV host Lauren Sanchez, a newly-qualified helicopter pilot, so it meant plans for a second Amazon headquarters in Long Island City – a decision later reversed – and even the massive luxury yacht being built for the couple under close guard in Rotterdam just simply must have space to land a helicopter.

Of course the game was up instantly, as author Brad Stone notes in the freshly-published Amazon Unbound, because while the business giant had untold reach across the internet, provided cloud services worth billions and produced hit Hollywood movies, there were no helicopters within his company. After all, what sort of frugal, down-to-earth, man-of-the-people uses a helicopter for that commute to work?

But Bezos was no longer that man, despite what the huge staff of Amazon’s PR department might wish anyone to believe. And it’s not the TV star girlfriend, the newly-pumped biceps or the wish to soar above the choking traffic of the poor people below that signalled Jeff Bezos had arrived on a different plain.

As Gas Shortage Hits America, Gov. Whitmer Wants to Shut Down Pipeline Transporting 540,000 Barrels of Petroleum

Has Gov. Gretchen Whitmer finally and completely lost her mind?

As Americans in states along the eastern seaboard waited in long lines to fill up their gas tanks last week, the Democrat from Michigan saw fit to renew her calls to shut down the Enbridge pipeline that pumps 540,000 barrels of oil and other petroleum products through a section of the Great Lakes.

In an Op-Ed published Friday by The Washington Post, the governor wrote, “Oil and water don’t mix — especially when the latter involves the Great Lakes, the repository of more than 20 percent of the world’s fresh water. And yet for nearly 70 years, an oil company has pumped crude oil through the Straits of Mackinac, where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron connect and where Michigan’s upper and lower peninsulas come closest.

“The two aging, 4.5-mile sections of underwater pipeline are a ticking time bomb. I’m taking every action I can to shut them down, to protect two Great Lakes and the jobs that depend on them.”

Whitmer then reminded readers of the disastrous BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in April 2010, which was followed three months later by the rupture of “an Enbridge pipeline in Michigan, Line 6B.” That incident sent “hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil gushing into a creek feeding the Kalamazoo River, near Marshall, Mich,” she wrote. “It was one of the largest inland oil spills in U.S. history.”

Watch: Israeli Precision Bombing Pounds Gaza Terror Tunnels

The Israeli military unleashed another heavy wave of airstrikes late Monday into Tuesday morning across the Gaza Strip, demolishing a host of terrorist tunnels and the homes of nine Hamas commanders. Sixty-two fighter jets dropped 110 “guided armaments” on 65 targets in the retaliatory strikes.

The precision aerial bombing destroyed the five-story building housing the Hamas-run Religious Affairs Ministry, a building Israel said housed the main operations center of Hamas’ internal security forces.

Rand Paul wins: Dr. Fauci admits he wore a mask for show to avoid sending ‘mixed signals’

President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, on Tuesday confirmed what Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told him two months ago about mask-wearing being unnecessary for Americans vaccinated against COVID-19.

Fauci appeared on ABC’s”Good Morning America” to discuss the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new mask recommendations, reiterating that the CDC says it’s safe for vaccinated people to stop wearing face coverings. He explained that the science has “evolved” over the last few weeks to show that vaccinated people are protected from infection and that the risk of them spreading the virus to someone else is “extremely low, very very low.”

When asked by host George Stephanopoulos how his personal mask-wearing habits have changed, Fauci responded that he feels more comfortable being seen in public indoors without a mask. Though he was vaccinated in December, Fauci said he had continued to wear a mask to avoid sending “mixed signals” to the American people by not wearing a mask.

Michigan attorney claims ‘explosive’ evidence found in Antrim County 2020 election fraud case

“Explosive” information suggests the 2020 election in Antrim County, Michigan, was ripe for fraud, according to a local attorney involved in a lawsuit over the contest more than six months after it took place.

Matthew DePerno and his client, Antrim County resident William Bailey, held an event with supporters on Monday, one day before Antrim County Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer is expected to decide whether to dismiss the case in which Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has intervened and defended the integrity of the election.

The attorney insisted that forensic images, which follow a judge-approved forensic audit of the Antrim County election results, voting machines, and software in December, asserted there were multiple ways there could have been issues with ballot tabulation and called on state legislators to conduct a statewide audit of the election.

“It’s nearly impossible to uncover fraud unless you have an actual audit of the ballots,” DePerno said after claiming his team determined they had the capability to flip votes. DePerno said his team made new discoveries as recently as this weekend.
