Herschel Walker claims China is helping fund BLM which then donates to Democrats
He noted that Black Lives Matter’s founders said they were trained by Marxists

Former NFL Player Herschel Walker on Monday claimed that money from China is supposedly funding the Black Lives Matter organization and that money is then donated to the Democratic Party.

The claims from Walker came in a video he posted on Twitter, writing in the caption that the 2020 presidential election was the most important in history, not just for the President of the United States “but for all branches of Gov’t.”

“I just saw the Democratic Party raise a lot of money and a lot of it came from ActBlue,” Walker says in the video, referring to the online fundraising payment professor that facilitates donations to Democratic and left-leaning organizations.

Walker then notes that Black Lives Matter – which was founded by people “trained from Marxists – “gave a lot of money to ActBlue.”

“I reckon you can support whatever party you want to support. If the Democratic Party wants to be associated with Marxists, that’s fine,” Walker says.

“But then I also saw that BLM had a subsidiary company that was partnered with a company from China that was giving them money. So, the money goes from China, to the subsidiary, to BLM, to the Democratic Party,” Walker says, adding: “Why does it seem like I’m the only that’s coming up with this? Just think about it.”

ActBlue is an online payment processor used by many groups affiliated with the Democratic Party. WinRed, launched last year, is an equivalent processing company for the Republican Party.

It wasn’t immediately clear what BLM “subsidiary” Walker was referring to. But his comments come less than a week after an article from The Daily Signal, the blog of the Heritage Foundation, titled: “The BLM Co-Founder and Pro-Communist China Group Are Partnering Up. Here’s Why.”

The piece purported to show a link between an organization started by BLM co-founder Alicia Garza, and a non-profit with ties to Beijing. A day later, The New York Times reported that the article conflated two nonprofits with the same name and made incorrect claims about BLM’s ties to the Chinese government.

Well...

That explains why ActBlue can't account for why half (or more) of contributions come from people who are unemployed, or do not otherwise indicate their place of employment.

This, in contrast to the Republican counterpart; WinRed, which sees only 6% of donations from people claiming to be unemployed.

It is illegal to make political contributions, totaling more than $200, without indicating your employment status. ie: you must state your employer.

Many people suspect that this is a way of circumventing limits on political donations and masking their true origins... this means that anyone can donate to a political group, such as foreign governments and corporate interests, or simply a private citizen who wants to contribute anonymously more than they are allowed too.

Money has been pouring into the bank accounts of the Democratic party from who the fuck knows where, because the DNC isn't checking receipts.

Ren Zhiqiang - who called Chinese president a 'clown' - jailed for 18 years | World news | The Guardian

China has sentenced an influential former property executive and critic of President Xi Jinping to 18 years in prison for corruption.

Ren Zhiqiang, the former chairman of Huayuan, a state-owned real estate group, was also fined 4.2m yuan, Beijing No. 2 Intermediate Court said on its website on Tuesday.

The court verdict said the 69-year-old “voluntarily and truthfully confessed all his crimes”, and would not appeal the court’s decision.

Rights campaigners accuse Xi and the Communist party of using corruption charges as a way to silence dissent.

Ren, an influential critic of the Chinese Communist party who suggested president Xi Jinping was a “clown” over his handling of the coronavirus outbreak, was put under investigation in April for “serious violations of discipline and the law”.

The retired property executive went missing in March after writing a critical essay about the outbreak. At the time, Ren’s friends told Reuters they had not been able to contact him, and they were “extremely anxious”.

His essay took aim at a speech Xi made on 23 February, and said it revealed a “crisis of governance” in the party. While it did not mention Xi by name, Ren reportedly wrote that he saw “not an emperor standing there exhibiting his ‘new clothes’, but a clown stripped naked who insisted on continuing being emperor”.

“The reality shown by this epidemic is that the party defends its own interests, the government officials defend their own interests, and the monarch only defends the status and interests of the core,” a translated version of the essay said.

In 2016, Ren was put on probation for a year as punishment for his public criticism of government policy. His social media accounts, which had tens of millions of followers, were shut down.

Beijing has stepped up its crackdown on civil society since Xi took power in 2012, tightening restrictions on freedom of speech and detaining hundreds of activists and lawyers.

Berlin (CNN)Pfizer and BioNTech are confident they can have a vaccine against the novel coronavirus ready for regulatory approval by the middle of October or early November, BioNTech CEO and co-founder Ugur Sahin told CNN Tuesday.

"It has an excellent profile and I consider this vaccine ... near perfect, and which has a near perfect profile," Sahin said in an exclusive interview with CNN.

US drug giant Pfizer and German firm BioNTech say they plan to provide 100 million doses of their vaccine candidate, BNT162, by the end of the year, and up to 1.3 billion doses in 2021.

In July, the US Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Defense announced a $1.95 billion agreement with Pfizer to produce 100 million doses of a Covid-19 vaccine. The deal also allows the US government to acquire an additional 500 million doses.

Sahin told CNN he believes that approval for emergency use will be granted quickly by regulatory authorities, adding that the company's "understanding of the mode of action, in combination with the safety data coming in from the running trial" meant that they have "a lot of confidence" in it.
"Yes, we believe that we have a safe product and we believe that we will be able to show efficacy," he said.

Sahin claims antibody responses in both young adults and the elderly have proven to be strong so far, with minimal side-effects.

"We don't see frequent fever. So only a minor proportion of participants in this trial have fever," Sahin said. "We see also much lower symptoms like headache or like feeling tired. And the symptoms that are observed with such vaccines are temporary, they are usually observed for one or two days and then are gone."

But while BioNTech and Pfizer say approval could happen by mid-October, federal officials have told CNN they believe this is an optimistic timeline.
"I don't know any scientist involved in this effort who thinks we will be getting shots into arms any time before Election Day," an official who is familiar with Operation Warp Speed, the federal government's effort to develop coronavirus vaccines, previously told CNN.

Meanwhile, Moncef Slaoui, the chief adviser to Operation Warp Speed, told NPR last week that it is "extremely unlikely, but not impossible" that a Covid-19 vaccine could be authorized for emergency use by the US Food and Drug Administration before the end of October.

President Trump, however, has vouched for a quicker timeline, in August saying he was "optimistic" a vaccine would be ready by November 3.

"[It's] going to be done in a very short period of time -- could even have it during the month of October," the President said at a press briefing Monday. "We'll have the vaccine soon, maybe before a special date. You know what date I'm talking about."

Sahin told CNN he believes that approval for emergency use will be granted quickly by regulatory authorities.

Still, BioNTech and Pfizer were two of nine biopharmaceutical companies to sign an unusual pledge to uphold "high ethical standards," suggesting they won't seek premature government approval for Covid-19 vaccine.

This pledge, released on Tuesday, states: "We, the undersigned biopharmaceutical companies, want to make clear our on-going commitment to developing and testing potential vaccines for COVID-19 in accordance with high ethical standards and sound scientific principles."

Sahin told CNN the companies will quickly get regulatory approval for their vaccine once the candidate is submitted, adding: "I believe, given that we have addressed the full package which is required for vaccine development including scientific studies, pre-clinical studies, safety tolerability testing and efficacy testing, there should not be too much time between emergency use authorization and full approval."

Pfizer and BioNTech's vaccine is one of 34 in clinical trials around the world, according to the World Health Organization.
