NIAID Director Anthony Fauci on Sunday urged American leaders to keep schools open amid the coronavirus pandemic but anyone who relies on ABC, NBC or CBS’ evening newscasts for information would have no idea.

“We say it, not being facetiously or having a soundbite or anything, but you know: close the bars, keep the schools open, is what we really say,” Fauci told Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week.” “Obviously, you don’t have one size fits all, but as I’ve said in the past, and as you accurately quoted me – the default position should be as best as possible, within reason, to keep the children in school and get them back to school.”

Fauci noted that the spread of COVID-19 between children was “low,” especially compared to other areas. Earlier this month, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio ordered all public schools to move to total virtual learning, a move that drew a sharp backlash from parents across the city.

ABC’s “World News Tonight,” NBC’s “Nightly News” and “CBS Evening News” all ignored Fauci’s comments arguing that schools should remain open on Monday, according to the Media Research Center.

“While the broadcast networks spent Monday evening echoing Dr. Anthony Fauci’s complaints against fed up Americans spending Thanksgiving with their families, and CBS blasted Florida for keeping schools open, none of them shared his Sunday comments arguing that kids should remain in school and his admission that kids don’t spread the virus as much as they feared,” Media Research Center analyst Nicholas Fondacaro wrote.

Fondacaro said Fauci’s comments were a “revelation considering the fact that Fauci and other so-called experts pushed a policy that had harmed millions of American children for years to come” but the mainstream media didn’t care.

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe broke in on a live call to CNN staffers hosted by its president, Jeff Zucker, to inform the network chief that O’Keefe is set to release secret recordings of insider calls allegedly revealing efforts to taint news coverage in favor of a certain political party and its members.

In a video clip posted to social media, O’Keefe is seen cutting in on the phone call to ask for Zucker, who acknowledges and identifies himself.

“I’ve been listening to your CNN calls for basically two months, recording everything,” O’Keefe begins. “Just wanted to ask you some questions if you have a minute.”

O’Keefe proceeds to ask Zucker if he believes his network “is the most trusted name in news because I have to say from what I’ve been hearing on these phone calls, I don’t know about that.”

After a moment, Zucker responded, “Okay, thank you…for your comments. So everybody, in light of that, I think what we’ll do is we’ll, uh…uh…we’ll set up a new system and we’ll be back with you, and we’ll do the rest of the call a little bit later.”

O’Keefe then told Zucker that his group will be releasing the recordings later Tuesday, as the network chief bids everyone on the call good-bye and appears to hang up.

O’Keefe went on to explain his actions, noting that there were still people on the 9 a.m. EDT daily conference call line listening to him.

“We recorded for a while and we have clips of various producers talking, [Zucker] talking, describing their motives, describing their political philosophy, describing how they don’t cover certain things, certain political parties tell them to cover things a certain way,” O’Keefe continued.

He went on to indicate that an insider at CNN was responsible for providing O’Keefe and his group access to the calls, as he noted again that people were still on the call continuing to listen to him.

O’Keefe then jumped back on the call and told those listening “we think it’s important for the American people to know how you make the sausage, how you, to quote Noam Chomsky, ‘manufacture consent,’” a reference to a 1988 book he co-wrote with Edward S. Herman in which they contend the major media exist to “defend the economic, social, and political agendas” of privileged groups.

“Get ready,” O’Keefe goes on to tell viewers watching the livestream, adding that his organization will start releasing recordings at 7 p.m. EDT Tuesday.

In October, Project Veritas released undercover video of various CNN staffers making comments about Zucker and the network’s anti-Trump coverage.

“I haven’t listened to a 9 a.m. call in about 15 years,” Patrick Davis says. “Just…can’t listen to it. It’s all just a bunch of bulls**t. And I wish that wasn’t the case.”

Other CNN staffers made similar comments, including network chief Zucker, who admitted that he was the one responsible for the network’s non-stop coverage of President Donald Trump’s impeachment.

Other comments include:

— “I want to chase the facts, like the motto that CNN put out earlier this year, ‘the facts first,’ that’s what I want the news to be. That’s what it should be. That’s what it used to be.” – CNN staffer Cary Poarch

— “…I hate seeing what we were and what we could be and what we’ve become. It’s just awful…I mean, we could be so much better than what we are…And the buck stops with him (Zucker).” – Patrick Davis

— “We used to cover news. We used to go out and do stories…But Trump is more important.” – Senior Field Engineer Scott Garber

— “He (Zucker) basically said f**k all the other stories.” – Media Coordinator Nick Neville

— “And you learn it in journalism school, we’re supposed to be middle of the road, that’s our job. Now it’s just infotainment is all it’s become. There is no true media news outlet.” — Patrick Davis

“I want CNN and any other outlet to basically return to what they once were, where hey, we tune in to get our facts. We can make up our minds left, right, center, whatever. Cool, and we go on with our lives. I don’t want anyone to basically, you know, be spun into believing or programmed into believing one way or the other. That’s not what I’m about and that’s why I’m coming forward.” — Cary Poarch

Dominion Voting Systems has financial ties to the Chinese government, according to filings

An investigation into SEC filings has revealed that the firm which owns Dominion Voting Systems received $400 million dollars from a Swiss bank with close links to the Chinese government less than a month before the election.

The investigation centers on Staple Street Capital, which acquired Dominion Voting Systems in 2018.

Dominion Voting Systems operates voting machines in 28 states and has been accused by President Trump and his supporters of being involved in deleting millions of votes for Trump in addition to switching votes to Biden on election night.

“On Oct 8, 2020, Staple Street Capital filed SEC Form D offerings and sales amount of $400,000,000 with the Sales Compensation Recipient identified as UBS Securities,” states the investigation, which also notes that another payment of $200,000,000 was received in December 2014.

“UBS Securities is a Swiss investment bank which owns 24.99% of UBS Securities Co LTD, a Chinese Investment Bank. The remaining 75% of UBS Securities CO LTD is owned by the Chinese government,” states the report.

The overall owners of UBS Securities Co LTD are;

– Beijing Guoxiang (33%)
– UBS (24.99%)
– Guangdong Comm. Group [zh] (14.01%)
– China Guodian (14%)
– COFCO Group (14%)

Aside from UBS, the other four owners of UBS Securities are all Communist Chinese front groups.

Beijing Guoxiang is a state owned asset.

Guangdong Comm. Group 100% stakeholder is the Guangdong Provincial Government.

China Guodian is state owned enterprise administered for the SASAC for the state Council

COFCO Group is a state owned enterprise under the direct supervision of the SASAC.

SASAC The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) is a special commission of the People’s Republic of China, directly under the State Council.

The revelation that Dominion Voting Systems has financial ties to the Chinese government via UBS Securities will bolster claims by Trump supporters that foreign actors working on behalf of Communist China may have sought to meddle in the presidential election to help Joe Biden.

Other connections between Dominion Voting Systems and the Chinese government have also emerged in recent weeks, including the company’s Core Infrastructure Manager of Information Technology, Andy Huang, who previously worked for China Telecom, which is “wholly run by the Chinese government,” reported the National Pulse.
