Xi Losing Control? Rivals Secretly Reach Out to Trump via Premier Li Qiang

" "DURING THE HU JINTAO ERA AND THE JIANG ZEMIN ERA, WE WERE SINCERE TO YOU. NEVER TRICKED YOU. NEVER PLAYED DIRTY WITH YOU. BUT XI AND WANG ARE RUTHLESS" - LUDE ON HU JINTAO FACTION
VIDEO: "Xi Losing Control? Rivals Secretly Reach Out to Trump via Premier Li Qiang"

Outside of a handful of Chinese Dissident- and anti-CCP YouTube accounts, the story about the ongoing power struggle within the Chinese Communist Party is being ignored by both the legacy media and the alternative media.

Last June, Lei’s Real Talk and other YouTube channels, like Behind the Great Firewall reported about an apparent purge of Xi Jinping loyalist generals, four of whom had “died suddenly”. In addition, key officials overseeing Hong Kong and Taiwan had been replaced.

Lei’s latest report claims that Xi Jinping has lost power and that the CCP elders, including Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao, and General Zhang Youxia are now in control.

She says that during the recent UN Assembly, Chinese Premier Li Qiang vanished for five hours and secretly flew to Washington to meet with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, carrying a message from these CCP elders for Donald Trump, the gist of which was:

1) Xi Jinping has lost power. The Party elders are the ones truly in control.

2) They want to return China to the reform and opening-up era, and they see good relations with the US as the top priority.

3) They sincerely want to welcome President Trump to visit China.

Lei says that this is the opposite of Xi Jinping’s current doctrine, according to his own recent speeches and according to former Inner Mongolia senior official, Du Wen, who fled China for Belgium in October 2023, after enduring lawfare that he claimed was actually targeting his former boss, Hu Chunhua, the man chosen to succeed Xi Jinping by the above CCP elders.

Du Wen claims to have obtained top-secret CCP documents that outline Xi Jinping’s doctrine, which is to unite with Russia and North Korea against the United States and the democratic world. After meeting with five Biden administration officials and US scholars in 2024, Du was surprised that they didn’t know this. I’m guessing he didn’t know that the Biden administration was the Xi Jinping adminstration.

Lei quotes Du as saying, “They still see China through an old Cold War lens, as just another revisionist power. They haven’t grasped Xi Jinping’s full strategic shift to create this anti-West alliance to take down the United States.” And that blind spot, Mr Du warns, “Distorts American policy and ripples out to Europe and the rest of the world.”

Lei claims that according to Xi Jinping’s own speeches, the world is now split. On one side, the US and the democracies. On the other, what Xi calls the “Anti-Western United Front”, led by himself, Putin, and Kim Jong-un and that in a speech to the Central Military Commission, he called it a “Life-and-death struggle”.

The three were photographed extensively during Beijing’s September 3rd military parade, where Xi Jinping appeared shoulder to shoulder with Russia’s Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un.



Two days later, on September 5th, Trump announced that his Department of Defense would be renamed the Department of War and since then, Trump also made an unexpected 180-degree shift on the Russia-Ukraine war. This was promptly followed by many Russian drone incursions into Estonian, Polish and Danish airspace.

What Lei reports about Du Wen reminds me of the September 2020 reports from Miles Guo associate and fellow Chinese dissident, Lude, who announced that the three Hunter Biden hard drives had been physically delivered to the US Department of Justice in 2019 by Bo Tiantian on behalf of three very high-level retired CCP officials, Jiang Zemin, Zeng Qinhong, Meng Jianzhu.

Besides the horrible videos of Hunter abusing 10-year-old girls and records of his corrupt financial deals with CCP officials, Lude said the drives contained data from the offshore bank accounts of Xi Jinping and Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan, They also contained information about Xi and Wang’s so-called ‘Architectural Art Project’, which he said is a wide-ranging plan to control not only 1.4 billion Chinese people but also the United Nations, the US President and all future US Presidents. One drive contained information about a virus and bio-weapons.

Lude explained thre reason why Zemin, Zeng and Meng had gave these hard drives to US officials was:

“In short, to protect themselves. To tell all of the Americans who have been collaborating with the CCP, ‘Look at Xi and Wang. We know all of your dirty secrets. Which means you should blame Xi and Wang. During the Hu Jintao era, and the Jiang Zemin era, we were sincere to you. Never tricked you. Never played dirty with you. But Xi and Wang are ruthless.'”

Bo Tiantian, aka Bao Jiaqi aka Hunter Biden’s “flirty secretary” who delivered the hard drives is the illegitimate daughter of disgraced CCP luminary, Bo Xilai, who had competed with Xi Jinping for the leadership of Communist China but was defeated.

Lude said Corrupt pro-Biden DOJ officials kept the Hunter Biden hard drives under wraps but others were eventually able to deliver these to Donald Trump sometime in 2020.

In short, the the CCP is not a monolith. Several high-level CCP members have defected in recent years and its possibly that its factions are warring each other within the US Government.

TRANSCRIPT

Lei: The UN has been all over the news lately. Alongside Trump, China’s Premier Li Qiang also flew into New York for the assembly. And just before the session where President Trump was set to speak, US Secret Service busted a dangerous network.

300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards [an additional 200,000 have since been discovered] spread across five sites in New York. That system could have crippled the city’s cell phone communications. So far, no group has been officially named.

But let’s be honest, who else has the technology, the money, the manpower, and the motive? My bet, the CCP.

Li Qiang was in the US for the UN assembly. It’s his first trip to the US as the Premier.

But here’s the strange part: While in New York, he mysteriously disappeared from the public. Now, you have to understand, when it comes to a Chinese Premier abroad, his schedule is mapped-out to the minute by the Foreign Ministry and the Chinese Embassy. Even the US Secret Service has to know his whereabouts for his security.

His disappearance was said to have surprised people. So where did he go? What happened in those missing hours? Leaks suggest that the Premier wasn’t just sightseeing. He was secretly reaching out to officials from the Trump administration, carrying a message from the CCP’s party elders. He was hoping to see people close to Trump, but it said that they were unavailable, due to the last-minute nature of this request.

It said that he met the Commerce Secretary in the end. Well, that’s Howard Lutnick. And the message he delivered? Actually, there are not just one message, but three. So here are the three messages that he supposedly delivered:

First: Xi Jinping has lost power, the party elders are the ones truly in control. Message number two: they want to return China to the reform and opening up era and they see good relations with the US as the top priority. And message number three: is that they sincerely want to welcome President Trump to visit China.

Now, this message certainly didn’t come from Xi Jinping. They came from the elders, including Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao, and General Zhang Youxia.

They’re said to have personally tasked Li Qiang with this mission. In fact, this was the real purpose of his trip. So originally, Xi Jinping didn’t even want Li Qiang to come.

He wanted to send Vice Premier He Lifeng instead, because Vice Premier He has been talking with the Americans in the trade talks, so it will be a good fit. But the elders insisted that only Li Qiang had the standing to deliver this message, so that’s why he came.

Here’s where the trail gets interesting: The meeting most likely took place in Washington, DC Flight records, or the system that tracks flights, that platform backed up this claim, that the meeting actually took place in Washington, DC.

His plane, which was a chartered plane, touched down in New York on September 22nd at 4:28PM, but two hours later, at 6:32PM, it took off again. By 7:16PM, it was on the ground in DC. Yet according to Li’s official itinerary, he had no events scheduled in DC. So the missing five-hour window, it may have been spent carrying out the most important and the most secret mission of his US trip.

So, I cannot verify this, but do I believe it? I should tell you that I cannot dismiss.

In the past two weeks, the world has grown increasingly dangerous. Russia suddenly launched drone incursions into Poland. Three Russian fighter jets entered Estonian airspace before being intercepted by NATO and just yesterday, four Russian aircraft approached Alaska’s air defense identification zone, forcing the US. and Canada to scramble multiple fighter jets to intercept them.

Denmark, meanwhile, was hit with drone incursions twice in just one week. First, Copenhagen’s main airport was forced to shut down, then on the night of the 24th, at least four other airports in both northern and southern Denmark, along with a key airbase, were simultaneously swarmed with unidentified drones, knocking parts of the country’s aviation network offline. The Danish government called it “A carefully planned hybrid attack.”

At the same time, Chinese Coast Guard vessels made incursions near Japanese waters.

Now back in Pyongyang, on September 14, North Korea’s diplomatic mission to the UN declared that its “Status as a nuclear-armed state” is irreversible. Kim’s sister, the formidable Kim Yo-jong, also issued strong warnings against the US, South Korea, Japan, Freedom Edge joint drills, threatening “negative consequences”.

So, do you notice a pattern here? All of these developments came after Beijing’s September 3rd military parade, where Xi Jinping appeared shoulder to shoulder with Russia’s Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un.

The sight of these three dictators in the same frame crystallized what Xi called the “Two Camps”. In the past, US rivalry with China was mostly economic or technological, but today, it has solidified into a full-scale geopolitical confrontation.

And this camp, the one that you see on the screen, did not exist in Trump’s first term. Now, it’s real. And of the three, Russia, China, and North Korea, it’s China that leads. It’s very clear. Xi Jinping is the one directly confronting the United States and the democratic world.

On September 5th, just two days after the parade, Trump announced that his Department of Defense would be renamed the Department of War. Since then, we’ve seen unprecedented developments, including Trump’s 180-degree shift on the Russia-Ukraine war.

In fact, uniting with Russia and North Korea to struggle against the United States and the democratic world is exactly the CCP’s strategy. Mr Du Wen, the former official in Mongolia working for Hu Chunhua, who now lives in exile in Europe, he claims to have obtained top-secret CCP documents that outline Xi Jinping’s doctrine, what he calls “Two Camps, One Struggle”. He made the revelation, I think, two days ago, but I’m not sure the date of such document.

According to Xi Jinping’s own speeches, the world is now split. On one side, the US and the democracies. On the other, what Xi calls the “Anti-Western United Front”, led by himself, Putin, and Kim Jong-un.

And Xi Jinping doesn’t even hide it. In a speech to the Central Military Commission, he called it a “Life-and-death struggle”. Those were his exact words.

Now, the timing of the speech is unknown. I do not think it’s recent. I think this speech and this strategy was drafted before his sudden illness at the Third Party Plenum.

So, Mr Du Wen said that the US still misreads China. In 2024, he met with five Biden administration officials and several US scholars. What he found was striking, he said, “They still see China through an old Cold War lens, as just another revisionist power. They haven’t grasped Xi Jinping’s full strategic shift to create this anti-West alliance to take down the United States. And that blind spot, Mr Du warns, distorts American policy and ripples out to Europe and the rest of the world.”

Alright, so let’s get back to the message that Premier Li Qian delivered. Is it believable? I think it is, because the party elders desperately need to get in touch with the Trump administration about the next step, because they could feel the sinking ship. "

Shocker: Soros-Backed Tides Foundation Funding Wikipedia - Saturday, Oct 04, 2025

X user DataRepublican, also known as Jennica Pounds, who leads DOGE-adjacent efforts in an open-source capacity, has delved deeper into the dark-money-funded NGO world. Her latest target: George Soros and one of the largest soft-power projects of the 1990s, called the Muskie Fellowship program.

But the focus here is not the Muskie Fellowship program, but rather her question: "This is straight off the Federal Register. Now ask yourself why Wikipedia doesn't mention the Soros Foundation."

She added, "And fun fact -- Soros had further grants for these graduates of the Muskie fellowship program. Hard to interpret this as something other than using our taxpayer funds to educate his minions."

The day has finally come! The world's tallest bridge opens to traffic in China's Guizhou today!

The bridge took only 3 years from construction start to opening. It's another testament to China's extraordinary speed!

625m above the river and over "the Earth’s crack," the bridge shortens travel time between the mountainsides from 2 hours to 2 minutes.

Why Guizhou? As China's only province without plains, the country uses over 32,000 bridges to connect the mountain-isolated areas into a high-speed network.

Investigation ‘Ongoing’ After House of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Burns Down



Police are investigating a fire that burned down the home of South Carolina Circuit Court judge Diane Goodstein, who had reportedly received death threats for weeks related to her work.

“At this time, there is no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set,” South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) Chief Mark Keel told TIME in a statement on Monday, noting that the investigation into the house fire on Edisto Beach is “active and ongoing.”

“I urge our citizens, elected officials, and members of the press to exercise good judgement and not share information that has not been verified,” Keel said.

The fire began at around 11:30 a.m. E.T. on Saturday, sources told local news outlet FITSNews. Goodstein was reportedly not at home at the time of the fire, but at least three members of her family, including her husband, former Democratic state senator Arnold Goodstein, and their son, have been hospitalized with serious injuries.

According to the St. Paul’s Fire District, which responded to the scene, the occupants had to be rescued via kayak.

South Carolina Chief Justice John Kittredge told FITSNews on Saturday that the fire appeared to have been caused by an “explosion.” Keel, however, said on Monday that “SLED Agents have preliminarily found there is no evidence to support a pre-fire explosion.”

Keel included no other details.

The 69-year-old judge had received death threats in the weeks leading up to the fire, multiple sources told FITSNews. Last month, Goodstein temporarily blocked the state’s election commission from releasing its voter files to the Department of Justice, a decision that was openly criticized by Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon and later reversed by the state Supreme Court. The DOJ had sought the information, including names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, and social security numbers, of over three million registered voters as part of President Donald Trump’s March executive order restricting non-citizens from registering to vote. (Non-citizens are already not allowed to vote in federal and state elections.)

The Trump Administration has sought to drastically reshape the election system in the name of election integrity by requesting, and in some cases suing, states for voter registration data to compile a comprehensive centralized database. The Administration has sought data from more than 30 states and has considered pursuing criminal investigations into state election officials. Critics have argued that the Administration’s efforts are an attempt at disenfranchising voters from marginalized communities and overstepping states’ constitutional authority to control election procedures.

The Administration has also increasingly vilified the judiciary, blasting judges that rule against it as “U.S.A-hating” insurrectionists. Hours before the fire at Goodstein’s house, Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller accused U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut of “legal insurrection” for granting a restraining order that blocks Trump’s deployment of the Oregon National Guard in Portland. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said in a post from his office that Miller’s accusation “for ruling on a case isn’t just reckless. It’s authoritarian propaganda, plain and simple.” (Miller has previously accused Democrats of using incendiary language to “mark people” for political violence.)

Before Keel clarified that preliminary investigation has not revealed an intentional cause of the fire, some Democratic lawmakers pointed to the fact it comes weeks after Goodstein’s high-profile ruling.

“Trump, [Miller] and MAGA-world have been doxxing and threatening judges who rule against Trump, including Judge Goodstein,” New York Rep. Daniel Goldman, who acted as the lead counsel in the first impeachment of Trump, posted on X. “Today, someone committed arson on the Judge’s home, severely injuring her husband and son. Will Trump speak out against the extreme right that did this??”

In response, Miller called Goldman “Deeply warped and vile.”

Arizona Rep. Yassamin Ansari posted on X, “We need a full investigation, but it’s undeniable that this rhetoric is dangerous & it makes violence feel permissible,” referring to a post by Miller suggesting that “far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general” have shielded “leftwing terrorism.”

In apparent response to a post by a staffer for Newsom’s office that said Dhillon had “publicly targeted” Goodstein weeks before the fire, Dhillon posted, “Threats against me are referred to the US Marshals. There have been several tonight. We will tolerate no such threats by woke idiots … Govern yourselves accordingly. FAFO.”

The heated, politicized response to the fire has become more common as political violence across the country has risen, sharpening the divide between the U.S. left and right. Last month, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed in an assassination that the Trump Administration blamed on the left’s rhetoric. Democratic Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in June, while Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s residence was targeted in an arson attack in April. And a number of judges who have ruled against Trump have received attacks and threats from his supporters.

Chief Judge for the District of Rhode Island Jack McConnell told NPR in August that his court has received more than 400 threatening voicemails, including several credible death threats. McConnell had issued a ruling blocking Trump’s freeze on federal aid earlier this year. Judges told NPR that they have received unsolicited anonymous pizza deliveries, a tactic known as “pizza doxxing” that implies that the sender knows the judges’ addresses.

A White House spokesperson told NPR that attacks on public officials have “no place in our society,” noting the President’s own experience with assassination attempts last year.

“I’m hearing everywhere that judges are worried about their own safety. There are people who are inflamed by the incendiary comments of our president and members of Congress about judges. Public officials have legitimized attacks on judges with whom they disagree,” Nancy Gertner, a former judge and current professor of practice at Harvard, told the Guardian in May.

That month, Richard Durbin, top Democrat on the Senate judiciary committee, penned a letter to Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel requesting an investigation into “pizza doxxing” incidents against at least a dozen judges.

“Threats against judges are threats against constitutional government. Everyone should be taking this seriously,” New York Judge Richard Sullivan, a Trump first-term appointee, told the Associated Press in March.

Critics say anti-judiciary rhetoric fuels threats

Less than a year into his second presidential term, Trump has asserted an expansive view of his executive powers. As of October, Trump has issued over 300 orders, proclamations, and memoranda, many of which have resulted in thorny and protracted legal battles. Between May 1 and June 23, federal district courts blocked Trump’s actions with temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions around 94% of the time, according to data analyzed by Adam Bonica, an associate professor of political science at Stanford University, while the Supreme Court reversed those orders in close to 94% of its cases. Critics have said that the sheer amount of litigation, some of which has been brought or appealed by the Trump Administration, could overwhelm the judiciary.

“What President Trump has done, perhaps more than other presidents, has been to not only bring the test cases and force the courts to deal with these issues, but to do it in a shock and awe strategy, which puts additional stress on the courts,” Steven Richman, Chair of the IBA Bar Issues Commission, told podcast Global Insight, speaking in a personal capacity. “Test cases are one thing, but as in any litigation involving parties and lawyers on both sides, the facts and positions taken must satisfy rules of professional ethics in terms of not being frivolous.”

Others have said the bigger threat comes from Trump officials attacking judges that rule against the Administration. Trump and his allies have also sought to portray the judiciary and their decisions as politicized and “judicial overreach.”

Hours before the fire at Goodstein’s house, Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller accused U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut of “legal insurrection” for granting a restraining order that blocks Trump’s deployment of the Oregon National Guard in Portland. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said in a post from his office that Miller’s accusation “for ruling on a case isn’t just reckless. It’s authoritarian propaganda, plain and simple.” (Miller has previously accused Democrats of using incendiary language to “mark people” for political violence.)

Trump has called specific judges who have pushed back on his executive orders “radical left lunatic” and “troublemaker and agitator.” In May, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the panel of judges that ruled against Trump’s sweeping tariffs “activist judges.” In a post that month, Miller said, “We are living under a judicial tyranny.”

Miller posted on X in March, “Under the precedents now being established by radical rogue judges, a district court in Hawaii could enjoin troop movements in Iraq. Judges have no authority to administer the executive branch. Or to nullify the results of a national election.”

“Another day, another judge unilaterally deciding policy for the whole country. This time to benefit foreign gang members,” Republican Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, posted in March after a Washington judge temporarily barred Trump from carrying out mass deportations. “If the Supreme Court or Congress doesn’t fix, we’re headed towards a constitutional crisis.”

In April, Attorney General Pam Bondi called the swathe of lawsuits filed against White House actions a “constitutional crisis.”

“President Trump’s executive authority has been undermined since the first hours of his presidency by an endless barrage of injunctions designed to halt his agenda,” she said in June.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson asserted congressional authority over U.S. courts, and appeared in March to threaten to disempower district courts if it came down to it. “We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court,” Johnson said. “We have power of funding over the courts and all these other things. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.”

But the Administration has also gone beyond verbally criticizing the courts. The Justice Department in Trump’s second term has moved to prosecute several of his perceived enemies and judges that have pushed back on his political agenda. In April, Hannah Dugan, a Wisconsin judge, was arrested for allegedly aiding an undocumented immigrant to leave a courthouse. In July, the DOJ filed a misconduct complaint against James Boasberg, chief judge of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., over alleged comments Boasberg made at a meeting of judges in March. In a social media post, Trump called for Boasberg, without naming him, to be impeached: “This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges' I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!”

The Administration has disregarded court orders, including plowing ahead with deporting 238 Venezuelans to an El Salvador prison in March after Boasberg blocked the deportations. A Washington Post examination of 165 lawsuits in which judges ruled against the Trump Administration found “widespread noncompliance with America’s legal system” by the Administration. The White House is accused of “defying or frustrating court oversight” in nearly 35% of those cases. Nonprofit media outlet Truthout reported in June that the Trump Administration also appeared to have defied a federal court order allowing transgender people to update gender markers on their passports.

“Lawyers are a regulated profession,” Dana Gold of the Government Accountability Project in Washington, D.C., told Global Insight. “The Department of Justice is inherently the bastion where the rules of professional conduct play a meta role because they are supposed to be serving justice.”

“If the Department of Justice is willing to bend, to basically break its own rules of professional conduct, it’s a red line being crossed,” she added.

More than 150 ex-federal and state judges in May signed a letter to Bondi and Patel rebuking the Administration’s attacks on the judiciary, as critics have said that the Trump Administration’s rhetoric fuels broader threats against judges.

“What we need is our political leaders from the top down to stop fanning these flames, to stop using irresponsible rhetoric, to stop referring to judges as corrupt and biased and monsters that hate America,” Esther Salas, a federal judge in New Jersey whose son was killed in 2020 by an attorney pretending to be delivering pizza, told NPR.

Alliance Of Indigenous Nations International Tribunal Issues ORDER: "mRNA nanoparticle injections, are in fact biological and technological weapons of mass destruction"!

"Shout out to Lisa Miron, AKA Lawyer Lisa on Substack and author of World On Mute, for coming up with this idea and acting in her capacity as an activist in pursuing this initiative before the tribunal, the courage of the injured complainants, prosecutors, and the tribunal for taking such extraordinary action in defense of mankind.

A screen shot and downloadable pdf of this extraordinary declaration and ORDER are below.

After reviewing hundreds of pages of evidence from my current case, including scientific papers and legal briefs filed in the Florida court system, as well other scientific papers, the Alliance of Indigenous Nations (A.I.N.) International Tribunal, issued a declaration and ORDER declaring the MRNA nanoparticle injections biological and technological weapons of mass destruction.

The Alliance of Indigenous Nations (A.I.N.) International Tribunal is the first governing body and judicial authority in the world to issue an ORDER declaring MRNA nanoparticle injections biological and technological weapons of mass destruction.

In addition to legal briefs and scientific studies, the Alliance of Indigenous Nations (A.I.N.) reviewed affidavits filed in my current case in the Florida court system from Ana Mihalcea, M.D., PhD; Rima Laibow, M.D.; Karen Kingston; Andrew Zywiec, M.D.; Marivic Villa, M.D., and Avery Brinkley, M.D.. Dr. Ben Marble, M.D., and Dr. Paul Alexander, PhD.; and the late Francis Boyle, J.D., PhD, the law professor that wrote the U.S. domestic implementation legislation of the Biological Weapons Convention, called the Biological Weapons and Antiterrorism Act of 1989. Dr. Boyle publicly stated the COVID 19 injections were bioweapons in late 2020, before they were even deployed.

The declaration and ORDER include quotes from and or cites affidavits from Dr. Francis Boyle, J.D, PhD; Dr. Ana Mihalcea, M.D., PhD; Dr. Andrew Zywiec, M.D.,; Dr. Paul Alexander, PhD; and Dr. Rima Laibow, M.D. It also cites the work of Dr. James Thorp, M.D.; Dr. David J. Speicher; Dr. Jessica Rose; and Dr. Kevin McKernan; and cites a recent paper by Dr. Andrew Zywiec, et. al., stating that the ‘vaccine’ violated the Biological Weapons Convention.

This extraordinary declaration and ORDER comes in the wake of the World Council for Health Florida chapter declaring the MRNA nanoparticle injections to be biological and technological weapons of mass destruction. Previously county Republican Parties across the U.S. as well as the Idaho and Arizona GOPs declared MRNA nanoparticle injections to be biological and technological weapons of mass destruction.

The Indigenous Nations (A.I.N.) International Tribunal stated:

“This Tribunal finds and hereby declares that the COVID-19 injections, mRNA injections, or mRNA nanoparticle injections, are in fact biological and technological weapons of mass destruction.

This Tribunal finds and hereby declares that the ‘COVID-19 nanoparticle injections’ or ‘mRNA nanoparticle injections’ or ‘COVID-19 injections‘ meet the criteria of biological weapons and weapons of mass destruction according to the Biological Weapons Anti Terrorism Act, of 1989 18 USC § 175; Weapons and Firearms § 790.166 Fla. Stat. (2023), Canada‘s Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention Implementation Act, 2004, and the International Biological Weapons Convention. This Order and Declaration is intended to have immediate worldwide effect.”

The Indigenous Nations (A.I.N.) International Tribunal has nation to nation status recognized by the Canadian government. The Indigenous Nations (A.I.N.) International Tribunal is the first governing body and judicial authority in the world to issue an ORDER declaring the MRNA nanoparticle injections biological and technological weapons of mass destruction.

It is unclear what the international legal ramifications of this ORDER will be. The ORDER also states:

“As such colonial systems have only served to perpetuate the injustice of what can only be seen as a planned and executed murder and depopulation of mankind around the world. The lack of justice in colonial systems must be seen as by design and to further the application and deployment of bioweapons on the public. We ask the original peoples and rest of mankind to stand together to give this decision and declaration the force of morality and justice- which is the basis of any system of law. There can be no architecture of law that is a permissive grant to deploy bioweapons on mankind. We find there is a consequential degeneracy in the intrinsic value of mankind by those who have and continue to promulgate the application of weapons of mass destruction on humanity. The COVID-19 injections, mRNA injections, or mRNA nanoparticle injections, are weapons. Biological weapons. Cellular weapons. Poisonous weapons. Genetic weapons. Nanotechnology. Intergenerational weapons. Technological weapons.”

"Reports are emerging from Beijing claiming that Xi Jinping may have suffered a sudden stroke earlier today. The alleged incident has triggered emergency medical activity in the capital, with sources describing Xi’s condition as serious. Meanwhile, Premier Li Qiang has reportedly been ordered to cut short his visit to North Korea—a move widely seen as a key indicator of how grave the situation might be.

The report comes from three separate sources, including former CCP insider Du Wen, one of whom alleged that a formal transition of power has already begun. At the same time, South Korea confirmed today that Trump is unlikely to attend the APEC Summit, reinforcing earlier claims that the long-anticipated Xi–Trump meeting in South Korea will not take place.

Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to Democracy Activist María Corina Machado

Not even brokering a historic cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas that ended more than two years of war was enough for President Trump to secure the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.

Early Friday, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy."

"Machado is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize first and foremost for her efforts to advance democracy in Venezuela. But democracy is also in retreat internationally. Democracy – understood as the right to freely express one's opinion, to cast one's vote and to be represented in elective government – is the foundation of peace both within countries and between countries," Norwegian Nobel Committee wrote in a statement, adding that Machado "meets all three criteria stated in Alfred Nobel's will for the selection of a Peace Prize laureate."



Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chairman of the Nobel Peace Committee, was asked by reporters about international pressure to award the prize to President Trump for his historic Israel-Hamas peace deal. He noted that "in the long history" of the Nobel Peace Prize, the committee has seen many different campaigns and "media tension," adding that it receives letters and emails each year from people around the world expressing "what, for them, leads to peace."

Frydnes concluded, "We base our decision only on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel."

(... if he'd had the courage and principle to cut off all weapons and funding to both Ukraine and Israel, then maybe he'd have stood a chance)
