Nets Ignore Hunter Biden's Business Partner's Fraud Conviction

On Monday, a former business partner of Hunter Biden named Devon Archer has been sentenced to over a year in prison for his involvement in a scheme to defraud a Native American tribe of over $60 billion in bonds. Not surprisingly, all three evening newscasts completely ignored this news of the President’s son’s business partner going to federal prison.

While ignoring this report, ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News & NBC Nightly News did all have time to hyperventilate over global warming, while CBS also had additional time to report on a mail truck that crashed off a bridge and fell into a river. 

According to a report in the New York Post, Archer was sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison by Manhattan Judge Ronnie Abrams. “There’s no dispute about the harm caused to real people,” Judge Abrams said. In addition to jail time, Archer will have to pay back over $15 million in forfeiture as well as over $43 million in economic restitution. 

Prosecutors charged Archer and his co-defendants with buying $60 million worth of bonds from the Oglala Sioux Native American tribe, which is one of the poorest tribes in the United States. Instead of using them for an annuity, Archer used the bonds to “build a financial services mega-company.” 

Archer did not financially benefit from the scheme, according to Adams. 

While neither Biden had any role in the scheme, Archer does have a history of illegal activity. In 2018, Archer was convicted of conspiracy to commit securities fraud. 

This is not the first time the networks looked the other way when one of Hunter Biden's friends became engulfed in legal problems. Back in January, all three evening newscasts ignored Hunted Biden's close friend Karim Massimov being charged with treason in Kazakhstan during violent protests caused by a spike in gas prices in the region.

This likely wouldn't be the response if the story were about a business partner of one of former President Trump's adult children.

This latest example of the three networks covering for the Bidens was made possible by WeatherTech on ABC, Ensure on CBS, and Liberty Mutual on NBC. Their information is linked.

The diversity officer at the helm of the University of Maryland's anti-Semitism task force claimed in a Facebook post that Israel was engaged in an "ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine."

Jazmin Pichardo, the assistant director for diversity training and education for the university's Office of Diversity and Inclusion, shared a series of anti-Israel posts in May 2021. Two Jewish alumni who are part of the school's Jewish Identity Programming Advisory Committee confronted Pichardo over the posts after she was put at the helm of the committee, which is tasked with fighting anti-Jewish bias on campus.

US, Germany Continue To Allow Gas Transactions With Russia Despite SWIFT Ban

BY TYLER DURDEN

MONDAY, FEB 28, 2022 - 05:48 AM

As Russian banks closed down both ATMs and then, later, open market trading, to avoid or contain the fallout from the Russian incursion into Ukraine, it's becoming increasingly apparent that the West doesn't have the right tools to sanction Russia  - not that they could even if they did.

The problem, as we have said many times before,boils down to Russia's control over Europe's energy supplies. But even as a growing number of Russian oligarchs release messages claiming that their sympathies lie with the Ukrainians (not that any of them have actually committed to doing anything that might undermine the war effort), Russia's position remains unassailable.

And now, a German economy ministry official has confirmed that despite the sweeping sanctions Imposed on Russia, including the removal of it banks from the SWIFT system, that German companies will still be able to find ways to pay their energy bills to the Russians to keep the gas flowing.

The history of Russia's murder of Ukrainians by the millions

 Millions of Dead Ukrainians Suggest That Ignoring History Is Dangerous

In reading about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, I’ve come across sources that mention Russia’s economy, Putin’s historical revisionism, Zelenskyy’s background as an actor, Russian military tactics, oil pipelines, Finland’s military might, and the complex history between Russia and Ukraine. But I am amazed that there is one name that I have not seen mentioned anywhere: Lazar Kaganovich.

In a strange twist of fate, I am friends (not close friends, but friends) with Mr. Kaganovich’s grandson.  Sort of a long story.  I’ve considered writing about that.  But not today.  Regardless, as most of you know, Mr. Kaganovich was born to a Yiddish-speaking Jewish family in what is now Ukraine, became one of Joseph Stalin’s most trusted friends, and ended up being the leader of the Ukrainian genocide (the Holodomor famine) which killed 3-4 million Ukrainians under absolutely brutal conditions. He is remembered as one of Stalin’s most vicious henchmen.  Although my friend remembers him as a kind, doting grandfather.  Wow.  Anyway…

Ten years ago, I befriended a woman who moved to Tennessee from Ukraine with her junior high school daughter (who was in my daughter’s class – they became best friends).  I mentioned that I knew Kaganovich’s grandson, and my friend was shocked, but her daughter had no idea who he was.  She went to school in Ukraine until age 14, and had never heard of Kaganovich, who was responsible for the deaths of many in her family.  I wonder how many Ukrainians are unaware of this period of their history?  It was 90 years ago, so no one alive was there at the time.  But is it possible that no one remembers it at all?

Granted, Ukraine’s oppression under Soviet rule from WWII to 1991 was no picnic, either.  And perhaps it is the combination of these two events which is motivating Ukraine’s spirited defense of their homeland against Russian invaders.  They appear to have a much more clear understanding of what Russia represents than, say, President Biden.  And honestly, they should.

While we seem to be minimizing the evil of Russian leadership, that in itself may be proof of just how consistently evil they are.  For example:

Imagine if 70 years ago, Germany had killed millions of Jews (which, of course, they did).  And then imagine that Germany invaded Israel today.  Can you imagine the press coverage?  Every Western news channel would run endless loops of Hitler speeches and Jews in concentration camps.  As they should.

But yet, here we are, with Russia invading Ukraine.  Again.  And there has been little to no discussion of Ukrainian suffering under Soviet occupation from 1956-1991, and no mention whatsoever of the butcher of the Holodomor, Lazar Kaganovich.  There are no screaming headlines of the evil of Putin, comparing him to Kaganovich (as the media would have compared Germany’s invasion of Israel to the Nazis).

No – It’s Russia.  I mean, c’mon.  This is just what they do, right?

Perhaps the media doesn’t bring up Kaganovich because they don’t have to.  The vicious tactics of Russia aren’t excused, exactly.  They’re just presumed.  After all, it’s Russia that we’re talking about here, right?  Perhaps.  But I really don’t think so.

I would feel better if we paid more attention to history.  Instead of reading story after story about how Putin feels about his progress in Ukraine this afternoon, perhaps we should be looking at this invasion as just a small part of a big picture.  This isn’t a shocking aberration.  It’s just another brick in the wall.

Putin may be unpredictable.  But Russia is not.  They even cheat in figure skating, for Pete’s sake.  Even when everybody knows they’re cheating, and they’ve already been suspended.  They lie, and they cheat.  After all, it’s Russia we’re talking about here, right?  Even Jimmy Carter figured this out.  Eventually.

But because so many in our media and our ruling class share Russia’s affinity for socialism, bureaucratic power, and other centralized control systems, they are hesitant to criticize Russia too harshly.  When your beliefs don’t make any sense, then hypocrisy becomes a cardinal sin.  Dissenting viewpoints become heresy when you know you’re on shaky ethical ground.  So criticism of Russia must be done gently.

Focus on the omelets, not the eggs.  Call Putin unpredictable.  But don’t call Russia a dangerous, dishonest, oppressive, imperialist power based on centralized control systems.  That just wouldn’t do.

This is just an understandable disagreement between some white dudes in Europe.  This is not evidence of the horrors of government power that American Democrats covet so openly.  Heavens no.  Golly, that Putin guy is so unpredictable.

Right.

Let’s fund Russia’s military by buying petroleum from them!  Great idea!  That way, we can pretend to believe in climate change, with no consequences!  Awesome!  Why not?  Russia’s just some other country, like Sweden or whatever, right?  What’s the worst that could happen?  Don’t listen to all those dead Ukrainians.  There’s fund-raising to do!

Understanding history can make seemingly complex decisions become more straightforward.

Many tyrants have openly acknowledged that you can’t control a country’s future without first controlling its history.  Islamists seek to control countries by destroying any ancient artifacts which don’t fit with Islam.  Putin just gave a speech claiming that his Russian ‘peacekeeping forces’ were merely attempting to free Ukraine from Nazi control (Ukraine’s Prime Minister is Jewish).  American leftists have been tearing down statues and renaming schools on a wholesale level.  All for the same reason.

You can’t control a country’s future without controlling its history.

And people wonder why those who love freedom are so upset about the historical revisionism of the left.  We should remember history.  Even the bad parts of it.

Especially the bad parts of it.

Our lives may depend on it.  Many, many, many other lives may depend on it, too.  Just ask a dead Ukrainian.

Democratic Socialists blame US imperialism for Russian invasion of Ukraine

The

Socialists of America blamed US and NATO “imperialist expansion” for helping trigger the Russian invasion of Ukraine — provoking criticism from local political leaders.

“DSA reaffirms our call for the US to withdraw from NATO and to end the imperialist expansionism that set the stage for this conflict,” the DSA said in a statement.

“While the failures of neoliberal order are clear to everyone, the ruling class is trying to build a new world, through a dystopic transition grounded in militarism, imperialism, and war. Socialists have a duty to build an alternative.”

The socialist group continued that “much of the next ten years are coming into view through this attack” and closed by saying, “no war but
class war.”

Doctors sue California for threatening to punish them for not facilitating assisted suicide

Key constituents only supported 2016 legislation because of its "true conscious objection and opt out." Amended law, approved last fall, infringes on freedom of religion and speech, lawsuit claims.

California doctors who object to assisted suicide are fighting an amended state law that implicates them in their patients' intentional deaths.

They are suing California officials, including Attorney General Rob Bonta, Department of Public Health Director Tomas Aragon, and Medical Board members to block SB 380, which made it easier for patients to commit suicide under the End of Life Options Act that took effect in 2016.

The original law issued a broad exemption for healthcare providers, granting them a liability shield for "refusing to inform" patients about their right to physician-assisted suicide and "not referring" patients to physicians who will assist in their suicides.

The amended law removed it, leaving providers vulnerable to "civil, criminal, administrative, disciplinary, employment, credentialing, professional discipline, contractual liability, or medical staff action, sanction, or penalty or other liability."

Conscientious objectors are suffering irreparable harm to their free exercise of religion and speech, the suit claims, seeking an injunction and declaration that the law is unconstitutional under any application. California is infringing on their "right not to speak the State's message on the subject of assisted suicide."

The Alliance Defending Freedom is representing the Christian Medical and Dental Associations, which claims 90% of its 16,000 members would quit medicine rather than be subject to such laws, and its member Dr. Leslee Cochrane, executive director of the nonprofit Hospice of the Valleys, who said he'd either quit or leave California.

Signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom last fall, SB 380 claims that "participating" in assisted suicide is "voluntary" but narrowly defines the former, depriving physicians of legal protection for refusal to take steps that authorize intentional killing.

They must document a patient's request to die in that individual's medical record, which satisfies the first of two required "oral requests" for a patient to obtain a prescription for lethal drugs. Physicians also must transfer those records to a second physician upon the patient's request.

Participating also excludes "[d]iagnosing whether a patient has a terminal disease, informing the patient of the medical prognosis, or determining whether a patient has the capacity to make decisions," and informing a patient about assisted suicide options.

This language concerned two legislative committees reviewing the bill. 

The Senate Health Committee's analysis noted the California Medical Association only supported the 2016 legislation because of its "true conscious objection and opt out" provision. The California Hospital Association flatly said it would oppose SB 380 with the narrow definition of "participating."

The Senate Judiciary Committee's analysis said the bill raises "constitutional questions with respect to freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion," given that physicians face "exposure to liability" for not "affirmatively facilitating" a patient's rights under the law.

The Assembly Judiciary Committee (AJC) analysis a few months later left out that concern, possibly because the bill had been amended by then. The lawsuit claims the revision did not change the exceptions to "participating" but organized them differently.

Continuing a pattern going back to assisted suicide legislation in the 1990s, advocates for disabled people opposed the California bill. 

Disability Rights California objected to shortening the 15-day waiting period under the original law to 48 hours and removal of the "final attestation" by the patient. The latter "puts patient autonomy at risk, opening the door to abuse by greedy heirs or abusive caregivers," argued the DRC.

The Senate floor analysis, the last hurdle before passage, records comments from the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, which says its community is "full of individuals who have been misdiagnosed as terminally ill." 

The bill removes protections such as more and better-trained medical professionals to "judge a patient's prognosis and assess their decision-making capacity," and it includes "extraordinarily little monitoring, data, and investigation of abuse," even less so than similar laws in Oregon and Washington, the group said.

Terminally ill patients "can have very dramatic changes in disposition once their pain is controlled," according to the lawsuit, citing individual plaintiff Cochrane's hospice experience.

Referring to the shortened waiting period, he said patients in severe pain can suffer "mental, emotional, and spiritual exhaustion" for more than two days at a time that "leaves them vulnerable to being easily manipulated by family members" against their own wishes. This happened to at least one patient with "questionable mental capacity," Cochrane said.

The California League of United Latin American Citizens called the legislation a threat to Latinos because it worsens racial inequality in healthcare. This is "just an opportunity for commodity-based, profit-driven health systems to cop out of care by providing the ever-cheap 'option to die,'" according to its comments recorded in the Senate floor analysis.

The California law finds no support in the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision nationalizing abortion rights, which cited an American Medical Association (AMA) resolution against compelling doctors to perform acts that violate their "good medical judgment" or "personally-held moral principles," the suit says.

Two decades later, the high court unanimously rejected physician-assisted suicide as a "fundamental right" bcause it is "fundamentally incompatible with the physician's role as healer." The suit notes that the AMA's 2017 statement on assisted suicide, its most recent, goes even further, saying the practice is "difficult or impossible to control" and poses "serious societal risks."

The Affordable Care Act also prohibits states and federally funded healthcare providers from discriminating against individuals and entities that refuse to provide any product or service "furnished for the purpose" of even indirectly causing "the death of any individual," the suit says.

Yet the amended law treats physicians participating in assisted suicide more favorably than those who refuse, as the former cannot be subject to "a complaint or report of unprofessional or dishonest conduct" solely on the basis of their decision to help patients kill themselves, the lawsuit says.
