You're the one that's trying to make this about the source of information rather than what the information says?
Warren is a useful idiot here. McConnell has long tried to discredit her. Stop trying to make this about Warren.
She had to pretend to bring up concerns about elections security PRECISELY to make it seem ridiculous and give MCCONNNELL COVER TO DENY EVERY ATTEMPT TO MAKE ELECTIONS SAFER?

Not sure if Trump (or any Trump related person or company) was ever soliciting investment money FROM any Chinese person, group, or company. Big difference when people and companies are taking bids from Chinese companies to manufacture products. đ
The centerpiece of this campaign is a major new undertaking to rewrite holy scripture. Chinaâs state-run Xinhua News Agency said late last year that Politburo Standing Committee member Wang Yang had presided over a meeting of so-called scholars and âreligious people from the grassroots levelâ to discuss âmaking accurate and authoritative interpretations of classical doctrines to keep pace with the times.â
In the religion of ancient Babylon, Tiamat (Akkadian: đđžđŠđł DTI.AMAT or đđđ DTAM.TUM, Greek: ÎιΝΏĎĎΡ ThalĂĄttÄ) is a primordial goddess of the salt sea, mating with AbzĂť, the god of fresh water, to produce younger gods. She is the symbol of the chaos of primordial creation. She is referred to as a woman,and described as "the glistening one." It is suggested that there are two parts to the Tiamat mythos, the first in which Tiamat is a creator goddess, through a sacred marriage between salt and fresh water, peacefully creating the cosmos through successive generations. In the second Chaoskampf Tiamat is considered the monstrous embodiment of primordial chaos.
Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. 16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspringâthose who keep Godâs commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus. (Revelations 12: 15-17)
It is believed to be a borrowing from Middle Persian, and some have traced it further back to Sanskrit.

had put forth a bill calling for "replacing paperless electronic voting machines with hand-marked paper ballots and optical scanners, subjecting voting equipment vendors to rigorous cybersecurity standards
The old, tired truism âunintended consequencesâ applies to the above quote. Gore v Bush gave us HAVA and HAVA got rid of paper trails in many states (see here a study we did for The State of Maryland: DREs and No Paper Trail ). In the 21st century our proxies for government administration gave our adversaries a golden ticket đŤ and its citizenry additional outlays for new highly-vulnerable, electronic voting equipment (referred to DREs in the study).
Yeah, but the Dominion machines that Brian Kemp got installed in Georgia HAVE A PAPER TRAIL ... so obviously the sides have switched now. If you control the paper trail, you control the election.
It's soooo simple once you see it.
The Rothschild family businesses can trace their first contact with China to the 1830's. Our business was one of the first Western business institutions to re-establish relations after 1953.
Global Advisory provides impartial, expert advisory and execution services to large and mid-sized corporations, private equity, families and entrepreneurs. We have direct access to the Chinese and North Asian markets through our local Chinese bankers who are based on the ground in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong, and supported by a partnership in South Korea.
We command an in-depth knowledge of the region's economic development and the challenges facing its industries, and have developed an exceptional understanding of the local regulatory and market environment. Our team is skilled at bridging the cultural gaps that can exist between the managements of foreign and local companies, and are the leading adviser to Chinese companies investing in Europe.
Last year, Alexandre de Rothschild met with Ye Jianming, chairman of CEFC China Energy, with both sides agreeing to strengthen cooperation in sectors including energy, financial services, aviation, infrastructure construction, food and high-end property management.
WITH A FATHER who went to school with President Jiang Zemin and later worked for Tung Chee-hwa's family shipping company, the extensive Hong Kong and Chinese connections of United States President George W. Bush's Labour Secretary, Elaine Chao, are facing fresh scrutiny.
A recent issue of the centre-left The New Republic magazine has used Ms Chao's background, her fund-raising and relationship with husband Republican Senator Mitch McConnell in a bid to portray an American right-wing now too close to China in the wake of the recent Hainan Island spy-plane stand-off.
Central to the magazine's claims are Ms Chao's failure to disclose a seat on the board of a California company running a joint venture with a mainland state partner and Mr McConnell's shift from the Republican right to the more moderate pro-trade stance that has long pervaded the party's thinking on China
In several respects, the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington led to improvement in United-States-China relations. But what has been good for the U.S.-China relationship has not been as good for the United States and, specifically, the American interests at stake in the bilateral relationship.
Initial responses to the incidents ten years ago brought warmer U.S.-China relations. A âshockedâ Chinese President Jiang Zemin was quick to express sympathy for the United States and the families of the victims and to condemn âall violent activities by terrorism.â
Beijing supported Washingtonâs call for cooperation and responsive action, including the adoption of United Nations Security Council resolutions that condemned the attacks, called on all states to take measures to combat and prevent terrorist activities and organizations generally and al-Qaeda and the Taliban specifically, endorsed international efforts to oust the Afghan Taliban regime that had provided shelter and support for al-Qaeda, and demanded that Iraq cease obstructing UN-mandated inspections for weapons of mass destruction.
Sen. Mitch McConnell is one of the strongest supporters of free trade and closer ties with China. Some say his attitude is a result of his marriage to Elaine Chao. After all, Jiang Zemin, China's former Communist Party boss and dictator, is a close family friend of the senator's wife, and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao praised her father for building up China's industry. Jiang Zemin, the hard-liner who took power following the Tienanmen Square massacre, is notorious for his repression of religious minorities and Tibet.
It would be wrong because President Bill Clinton wasn't married to Elaine Chao when he asked Congress to treat Communist China as a "Most Favored Nation" and make it safe for corporations to move American factories there. Conservatives warned of China's threat to our national security, but McConnell ignored these concerns and voted to open the door to more investment in the communist country, as Clinton asked.

Great way to get people herded into a safe corralled comfort zone đ¤
China is a top source for imports and our third-largest export market, we welcome thousands of Chinese visitors every year to the peach state. And weâre constantly helping to develop new opportunities for Chinese companies.â
The video is from Georgiaâs Department of Economic Development, and what Kemp says in it is a promise that dates back a decade. In 2010, when he was still Georgiaâs secretary of state, Kemp met with the ambassador of the Chinese consulate in Houston. He said with Georgia facing an economic downturn, âHe is ready to spare no efforts to promote the economic and trade cooperation between Georgia and China.â
Gov. Brian Kemp has selected Trump Administration official and former Georgia executive Jannine Miller to serve as state planning director at the Georgia Department of Transportation.
Miller currently is senior advisor to U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.
The Council on Foreign Relations is the Rothschildâs invisible ministry of war.
Speaking to seminarians in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI blasted âthe power of Evil in finance and in the media, two major powers which in themselves are good, but can be so abused as to become often the contrary of the real intentions.â
âSurely we need information,â Ratzinger said, âbut the power of appearance, an appearance that replaces reality itself, becomes more and more powerful, and man does not see reality any more.â At the end, âthe virtual world becomes truer and stronger.â Instead, âwe want no appearance, but truth, and this gives us real freedom.
It is called the Sacred Chao. I appoint you Keepers of It. Therein you will find anything you like. Speak of Me as Discord, to show contrast to the pentagon. Tell constricted mankind that there are no rules, unless they choose to invent rules. Keep close the words of Syadasti: 'TIS AN ILL WIND THAT BLOWS NO MINDS. And remember that there is no tyranny in the State of Confusion. For further information, consult your pineal gland.
With our concept-making apparatus called "the brain" we look at reality through the ideas-about-reality which our cultures give us. The ideas-about-reality are mistakenly labeled "reality" and unenlightened people are forever perplexed by the fact that other people, especially other cultures, see "reality" differently.
It is only the ideas-about-reality which differ. Real (capital-T) True reality is a level deeper than is the level of concept. We look at the world through windows on which have been drawn grids (concepts). Different philosophies use different grids. A culture is a group of people with rather similar grids. Through a window we view chaos, and relate it to the points on our grid, and thereby understand it. The order is in the grid.
Jim Garrison later claimed that Thornley and Lee Harvey Oswald were involved together in covert CIA operations. He also argued that Thornley had impersonated Oswald between the years 1961 and 1963. In his book On the Trail of the Assassins (1988) Garrison insists that Thornley was friends with another possible conspirator, Johnny Roselli.
In 1992 Thornley appeared on a television programme, A Current Affair. He confessed that he had been part of a conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy. However, he did not give the names of his fellow conspirators.
In 1978, a copy of a work from Kerry Thornley titled "THE PRINCIPIA Discordia or HOW THE WEST WAS LOST" was placed in the HSCA JFK collections as document 010857
Ms. Chao and Mr. McConnell married in 1993, but her campaign donations, along with those of her parents, sisters and brothers-in-law, began flowing years before the wedding. The first $10,000 came in June 1989. In the 30 years since, 13 members of the extended Chao family have given a total of more than $1 million to Mr. McConnellâs campaigns and to political action committees tied to him. In 2008, James Chao gave the couple a gift of as much as $25 million, vaulting Mr. McConnell into the ranks of the richest senators.
Where is she now?

Warren was sounding the alarms in 2019 about threats to our election systems.
Why didn't anyone listen?
