{ theepochtimes.com } ~ Most of the riots that racked the United States within the last few months were organized by two socialist organizations which have close ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), said Trevor Loudon, author, and filmmaker...who has been researching radical and terrorist groups and their covert influence on mainstream politics for more than 30 years. The Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) based out of Minneapolis, an openly pro-CCP organization, and Bay Area-based Liberation Road, with very close ties to the Chinese consulate there and the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA), are behind the recent riots, Loudon said in a recent interview on  Epoch Times’ Crossroads program. Liberation Road is “basically a Chinese directed movement,” Loudon said. It is a socialist organization, drawing from Marxist ideology, “with a clear focus on building the resistance to Trump,” its website said. Liberation Road whose people “burnt Ferguson, Missouri to the ground in 2014,” split from FRSO several years ago over the issue of whether to work with the Democratic Party “and it is the parent body of Black Lives Matter [BLM],” Loudon said. Alicia Garza, a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement is also the principal of the Black Future Labs project which is “a fiscally sponsored project of the Chinese Progressive Association,” the donation page of the Black Futures Labs stated. Some media denied the allegation about links of the Black Future Labs to the Chinese Communist regime because there are two organizations named “Chinese Progressive Association,” one in San Francisco and one in Boston. The Black Future Labs works with only the Chinese Progressive Association in San Francisco which is a different entity than its namesake in Boston, according to the New York Times. However, both organizations named Chinese Progressive Association (CPA) “are controlled by Liberation Road,” Loudon said. “Both of them are controlled by Maoist communists who have been a part of the same groups for 50 years now. They might be organizationally autonomous, but they are part of the same movement.” The CPA in Boston has very close ties and officially works for the Chinese Consulate in New York, Loudon said, but the Chinese Progressive Association in San Francisco is also very closely tied to the Chinese consulate there. They are “both front groups for the same communist organization” even though they are governed by separate boards, he added. In addition, Alicia Garza and two other BLM co-founders are “directly affiliated to Liberation Road,” Loudon said...  https://www.theepochtimes.com/china-ties-to-us-riots-exposed-by-trevor-loudon-2_3531626.html?utm_source=newsnoe&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking

by headlinewealth.com ~ The White House is boosting its offer in up-and-down COVID-19 aid talks Friday in hopes of an agreement before Election Day...even as President Donald Trump’s most powerful GOP ally in the Senate said Congress is unlikely to deliver relief by then. Trump on Friday took to Twitter to declare, “Covid Relief Negotiations are moving along. Go Big!” A top economic adviser said the Trump team is upping its offer in advance of a Friday conversation between Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Speaker scumbag/liar-Nancy Pelosi. A GOP aide familiar with the new offer said it is about $1.8 trillion, with a key state and local fiscal relief component moving from $250 billion to at least $300 billion. The White House says its most recent offer was about $1.6 trillion. The aide requested anonymity because the negotiations are private. scumbag/liar-Pelosi’s most recent public offer was about $2.2 trillion, though that included a business tax increase that Republicans won’t go for. But GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told an audience in Kentucky that he doesn’t see a deal coming together soon out of a “murky” situation in which the participants in the negotiations are elbowing for political advantage. “I’d like to see us rise above that like we did in March and April but I think it’s unlikely in the next three weeks,” McConnell said. He spoke after Trump apparently performed an about-face, empowering Mnuchin to resume negotiations with scumbag/liar-Pelosi, D-Calif., on a larger, comprehensive coronavirus relief package despite calling off the talks just days before. White House economic adviser Lawrence Kudlow told reporters Friday that “developments are positive” and that “the bid and the offer have narrowed” in advance of a telephone conversation later Friday between scumbag/liar-Pelosi and Mnuchin. McConnell remains a skeptic that a deal can come together — and he has issued private warnings that many Senate Republicans will oppose a deal in the range that scumbag/liar-Pelosi is seeking. “We do need another rescue package,” McConnell said. “But the proximity to the election and the differences about what is need at this particular juncture are pretty vast.” Later Friday, during an appearance in Tompkinsville, Kentucky, McConnell said: “I don’t know whether we’ll get another virus-relief package or not.” McConnell added that “the first item of priority of the Senate is the Supreme Court. We’ve got a stunningly outstanding nominee.” He later said: “We intend to put her on the Supreme Court in the next few weeks.” McConnell’s remarks capped a tumultuous week in which Trump and sent conflicting signals and made unworkable demands. On Tuesday, he ordered an end to the week long talks after being told that few Republicans in Congress would end up voting for a possible scumbag/liar-Pelosi-Mnuchin deal...  https://headlinewealth.com/white-house-ups-offer-in-virus-aid-before-talks-with-pelosi/?utm_medium=email

{ breitbart.com } ~ President Donald Trump on Wednesday described his illness with COVID-19 as a “blessing in disguise” because of his treatment with the experimental drug Regeneron...“I think this was a blessing from God that I caught it. This is a blessing in disguise,” Trump said in a video posted to social media. The president said that when he went to Walter Reed Hospital, he asked his doctors about taking Regeneron’s drug to treat COVID-19. The company provided the drug to Trump in response to a compassionate use request from his doctors. The drug is an antibody cocktail called REGN-COV2. The drug has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration although it is in a phase three trial that began in July. “I went in, I wasn’t feeling so hot, and within a very short period of time then they gave me Regeneron … I think this was the key … It was like unbelievable, I felt good immediately,” Trump said. “To me, it wasn’t therapeutic, it just made me better,” he continued. “I call that a cure.” The president also promoted a similar antibody drug under development by Eli Lilly and Company seeking approval from the Federal Drug Administration. “That’s what I want for everybody, I want everybody to be given the same treatment as your president, because I feel great,” he said. Trump said he wanted to make the drug available for the rest of Americans and also make it free. “If you’re in the hospital, and you’re feeling really bad, I think we’re going to work it so that you’re going get them, and you’re going to get them free,” he said. “Especially if you’re a senior, we’re going to get you in there quick.” Trump admitted that the COVID-19 vaccine would not be developed before the election, despite his best efforts to get it done. “I think we should have it before the election, but politics gets involved and that’s ok. They want to play their games, it’s going to be right after the election,” he said.  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/10/07/donald-trump-catching-covid-19-a-blessing-in-disguise-because-of-regeneron/

by washingtonexaminer.com ~If there is a silver lining to the pandemic that has killed more than a million people and crashed the global economy, it's that people around the world are finally waking up to China's evil...A new Pew Research Center poll found that thanks to its dishonest and reckless handling of the coronavirus, opinions toward China have taken a hit around the world this year. Conducted via phone between June 10 and Aug. 13, the poll surveyed more than 14,000 adults in 14 countries and found double-digit increases in the number of people viewing China unfavorably. According to Pew, 81% of Australians, 74% of Britons, 73% of Americans, and 71% of Germans now view China poorly. This news is not going down well in Beijing, which is responding with typical arrogance to the results. The Chinese Communist Party's primary Western-focused propagandist declared, "We don’t want bad relations with Western countries, nor will we exchange our national interests for their goodwill. Their goodwill is not so valuable." Though the coronavirus obviously was a major factor in China's growing unpopularity, it would be a mistake to blame this poll solely on the virus. It's true that Beijing mishandled it and even concealed the early outbreak in the city of Wuhan. We are confident that as more comes to light on what Beijing knew about the virus and when it knew it, China's reputation will take an even heavier hit. But China's deteriorating reputation reflects its much broader disdain for the international community and its norms. Evidence for this disdain is varied and overwhelming. Beijing demands, for example, that foreign businesses sacrifice their secrets in exchange for access to its 1.4 billion-person market; steals more than $100 billion a year of intellectual property; introduces tariffs on foreign goods simply to retaliate against nations that have drawn attention to its shabby human rights record; stole most of the South China Sea and works to sever India from its northern territory; bullies poorer nations, many in Africa, by offering investment only in return for political deference and cronyism. Oh, also, Beijing exploited the early shortages during the pandemic to sell billions of dollars worth of flawed personal protective equipment. Seeping through all of this activity is the Chinese Communist Party's arrogance. It believes or behaves as though it believes that it can do no wrong. Where politicians or peoples complain about being treated unfairly, Beijing accuses them of deception or injustice. Foreign ministries the world over have become accustomed to Beijing's "wolf warrior" diplomats taking to Twitter to launch fake news attacks against them. This rudeness is the rule when it comes to China's contact with the world. Even the normally stoic diplomacy of Queen Elizabeth II has been tested here. Following a 2015 state visit by Xi Jinping to Britain, the queen was heard telling a police officer that the Chinese delegation was "very rude" and that it was "bad luck" she had been responsible for their security during the trip. The simple truth is that the more the world sees of Communist China, the more it comes to dislike. For all its promises of investment and mutual benefit, people are realizing that China's truest offer is one only of arrogant hegemony. Unless and until Xi's regime starts showing the rest of the world the respect it deserves, China's reputation will decline yet further. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/chinas-reputation-takes-a-well-deserved-global-hit?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief%20-%20YouTube%20_10/09/2020&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

by revolver.news ~ From the failed Chris Wallace/scumbag drumbling lips liar-Biden tag-team attempt against Trump, to biased moderator Susan Page’s shrill interruptions of Vice President Pence...to the Presidential Debate Commission’s ridiculous and politically motivated effort to force a “virtual debate” on scumbag drumbling lipos liar-Biden’s behalf, patriotic Americans have caught on to the fact that there is something deeply unfair about the presidential debates. This clear bias has justifiably led many observers to wonder what is wrong with the Presidential Debate Commission. Just yesterday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany called out the Commission directly: Kayleigh’s characterization of the Commission is of course correct. However, its corruption and bias goes beyond the simple fact that it’s in the tank for scumbag drumbling lips liar-Joe Biden. The nominally Republican Chairman of Presidential Debate Commission, Frank Fahrenkopf, is both a co-founder and current board member of the International Republican Institute (IRI), a top “Color Revolution” propaganda outfit. The IRI was run by Never Trump neoconservative rino-John McCain for decades. It is closely linked to the thoroughly discredited Steele Dossier at the center of the Russia Hoax. At first glance, it might appear as though Fahrenkopf’s Republican Party membership, combined with his board membership at the International Republican Institute, lends him, and by extension the Debate Commission, some semblance of balance. The Debate Commission’s board has a Republican Co-Chair and a Democrat co-Chair, creating the appearance of fairness and bipartisanship. Nothing could be further from the truth. Bipartisanship in the Trump era all too often means that the corrupt establishment elements of both parties join arms to undermine Trump and his agenda. A Debate Commission consisting of rino-John McCain and scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton would be technically bipartisan, but it would not be balanced when it comes to Trump and his supporters. Globalist Republicans and globalist Democrats have far more in common with each other than they do with Trump. Our choice of rino-John McCain in this example was not arbitrary. As it turns out, the late Senator rino-John McCain served as the Chairman of the Board of the International Republican Institute for 25 years...  https://www.revolver.news/2020/10/rigged-presidential-debate-commission-frank-fahrenkopf-color-revolution/

{ foxnews.com } ~ C-SPAN host Steve Scully believes his Twitter account was hacked, the network announced in a statement Friday...in the aftermath of a tweet sent from his account to former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci that raised questions of impartiality.  Scully "did not originate the tweet," C-SPAN claimed, adding that the Commission on Presidential Debates was investigating the incident "with the help of authorities," who were unidentified. Scully himself did not immediately comment. Scully had been selected to host the second presidential debate, although the status of all future 2020 debates has been unclear. The now-deleted tweet, sent Thursday night, read: "@Scaramucci should I respond to trump." Frank Fahrenkopf, a co-chairman of the commission, first made the hacking claim to Fox News Radio's  "The Brian Kilmeade Show" Friday morning. "Steve is a man of great integrity, okay?" Fahrenkopf said. "I don't know this question about whether he tweeted something out or not, I do know, and you'll probably pick up on it in a minute, that he was hacked... Apparently, there's something now that's been on television and the radio saying that he talked to Scaramucci... He was hacked. It didn't happen." Scully, who was set to moderate a town hall debate on Oct. 15 –­­ now crumbling after President Trump withdrew from the now-virtual event –­­ sparked confusion and fury among critics, with many concluding the moderator meant to send such a message to Trump's foe privately. Scaramucci, in response, seemed to offer him advice on how to deal with the president. "Ignore. He is having a hard enough time. Some more bad stuff about to go down."...  https://www.foxnews.com/media/steve-scully-twitter-hack-claim-debate-commission-scaramucci
