Will Jones, TCW Defending Freedom:  Covid vaccines raise risk of severe heart inflammation up to 120-fold, says study

COVID vaccination increases the risk of severe heart inflammation up to 120-fold, a major study from Scandinavia published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has found.

The study looked at more than 23million patient records covering the over-12 populations of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden from the start of the vaccine rollout in December 2020 to October 5 2021.

For young males aged 16-24 years within 28 days of a second dose the study found severe myocarditis (requiring inpatient hospital admission) around five times more common after Pfizer and 14 times more common after Moderna. This corresponded to six events per 100,000 people after Pfizer and 18 events per 100,000 after Moderna. A second dose of Moderna given after a first dose of Pfizer came with even higher risk: a 36-fold increased risk, corresponding to 27 events per 100,000 people. The Moderna vaccine has three times the dose of mRNA of the Pfizer vaccine, which the authors suggest lies behind the increased risk.

[...]

The authors conclude the risks ‘should be balanced against the benefits of protecting against severe Covid-19 disease’. However, given the extremely low risk of Covid to healthy young males and the considerably elevated risk of severe myocarditis following vaccination – plus the risks associated with other adverse effects, short and long term – it’s hard to see how it could be worth it, or why these vaccines have not already been withdrawn for younger age groups.

Mark Wauck:  Disinformation Governance Board: An Idea Whose Time Has Come?

[I]n a global world economy, it becomes increasingly difficult to separate foreign and domestic policy. Thus we see the push to bind the US to foreign treaties and agreements without going through the treaty ratification process as envisioned in the Constitution. Many of those agreements have an effect on domestic policy that should normally be decided by Congress. This is all in line with the aims of the New World Order, the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) goal for Global Corporatism/Fascism (cf., for example, Doc Malone: WEF: A Trade Organization on Steroids).

Preeminently, the Senate’s authority over war making has been preempted by the Rules-Based Order, as we see increasingly (Where The War Is At, 4/28/22). US officials, in coordination with foreign powers in the Anglosphere, are openly making public statements that, in any real world understanding, amount to declarations of war against major world powers, such as Russia and China. But war of this sort is something that can’t be done by stealth, as in our GWOT. Thus, the need to shape America’s information environment—to preempt narratives that conflict with the government narrative. Which happens to be the Deep State/Neocon narrative. Thus, the Disinformation Governance Board is an idea whose time has come for America. The public announcement actually specifies “Russia” as a focus for disinforming the American public and the head of the disinformation board checks all the usual Neocon boxes—even “advising” Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry—so it all fits in with the war effort of the Rules-Based Order.

Among other accounts, PJMedia’s stands out:

Politico is reporting:

DHS is standing up a new Disinformation Governance Board to coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia. Nina Jankowicz will head the board as executive director. She previously was a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry as part of the Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship and oversaw Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute. (h/t Daniel Lippman)

Why would a DHS program focus solely on “irregular migration and Russia”? … are these just the most politically dangerous narratives for the Left to lose control over?

Reuters:  Twitter set to accept Musk's $43 billion offer

NEW YORK, April 25 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) is poised to agree a sale to Elon Musk for around $43 billion in cash, the price the CEO of Tesla has called his "best and final" offer for the social media company, people familiar with the matter said.

Twitter may announce the $54.20-per-share deal later on Monday once its board has met to recommend the transaction to Twitter shareholders, the sources said, adding it was still possible the deal could collapse at the last minute.

Musk, the world's richest person according to Forbes, is negotiating to buy Twitter in a personal capacity and Tesla (TSLA.O) is not involved in the deal.

Twitter has not been able to secure so far a 'go-shop' provision under its agreement with Musk that would allow it to solicit other bids once the deal is signed, the sources said. Still, Twitter would be allowed to accept an offer from another party by paying Musk a break-up fee, the sources added.

The sources requested anonymity because the matter is confidential. Twitter and Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Twitter shares were up 4.5% in pre-market trading in New York at $51.15.

Last month the Federal Election Commission fined Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee for falsely reporting certain campaign expenditures.  The campaign and the DNC paid over $1 million to the law firm Perkins Coie.  Perkins Coie used the funds to pay Fusion GPS for the now thoroughly discredited Steele Dossier.

The money was reported on FEC forms as “legal advice and services,” but the Steele Dossier offered no legal advice.  Instead, it made a variety of claims intended to show that Donald Trump was somehow under the control of Vladimir Putin.  The Clinton campaign and the DNC paid the fines.

And that may come back to haunt them.

Margot Cleveland:  Letter: No, Hillary Clinton Can’t Try To Hide 2016 Oppo Research From The Special Counsel

Foundation counsel Dan Backer added that while the memorandum is not yet public, the special counsel’s office would likely be able to obtain it directly from the FEC. That memorandum also will provide Durham’s team further details on the FEC’s investigation and fact-finding that may be useful to the special counsel in the Sussmann litigation, noted the letter.

In Friday’s letter, Backer also highlighted Hillary for America and the DNC’s commitment in their settlement agreement with the FEC to “not further contest the Commission’s finding of probable cause to believe” that the political organizations had “falsely reported their payments through Perkins Coie to Fusion GPS as being for legal services.” In contrast, in the Sussmann case, Hillary for America and the DNC “are nevertheless asserting materials generated by Fusion GPS and provided to Perkins Coie are protected by attorney-client privilege and work-product doctrine,” the letter stressed.  (Bold added)

“The Government should not permit HFA and the DNC to adopt conflicting positions in different proceedings, depending on the federal agency against which they are litigating,” the foundation’s letter concluded, suggesting the trial court may find those breaches of the settlement agreement “material in ruling on any privilege claims.”
