Harvard University Professor and Two Chinese Nationals Charged in Three Separate China Related Cases

The Department of Justice announced today that the Chair of Harvard University’s Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department and two Chinese nationals have been charged in connection with aiding the People’s Republic of China.

Dr. Charles Lieber, 60, Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University, was arrested this morning and charged by criminal complaint with one count of making a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statement. Lieber will appear this afternoon before Magistrate Judge Marianne B. Bowler in federal court in Boston, Massachusetts.

Yanqing Ye, 29, a Chinese national, was charged in an indictment today with one count each of visa fraud, making false statements, acting as an agent of a foreign government and conspiracy. Ye is currently in China.

Zaosong Zheng, 30, a Chinese national, was arrested on Dec. 10, 2019, at Boston’s Logan International Airport and charged by criminal complaint with attempting to smuggle 21 vials of biological research to China. On Jan. 21, 2020, Zheng was indicted on one count of smuggling goods from the United States and one count of making false, fictitious or fraudulent statements. He has been detained since Dec. 30, 2019.

...


Yanqing Ye

According to the indictment, Ye is a Lieutenant of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the armed forces of the People’s Republic of China and member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). On her J-1 visa application, Ye falsely identified herself as a “student” and lied about her ongoing military service at the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), a top military academy directed by the CCP. It is further alleged that while studying at Boston University’s (BU) Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biomedical Engineering from October 2017 to April 2019, Ye continued to work as a PLA Lieutenant completing numerous assignments from PLA officers such as conducting research, assessing U.S. military websites and sending U.S. documents and information to China.

how does one abuse an inalienable right?

If that was true then Parler, Gab, Rumble, Truth Social would all be bankrupt, dead platforms...

Joe. Does your channel refuse to air this ad?


A local television station has refused to air a controversial political ad produced by a conservative group that features security footage of a brazen daylight robbery on Chicago’s North Side.

Using video recorded by a doorbell camera and first reported by CWBChicago, the new 30-second and 15-second political spots produced by the People Who Play By The Rules PAC feature audio of the robbery victim’s scream and conclude with an image of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot while asking the viewer, “How much worse does it have to get?”

I have no idea. I don't really watch the on-air signal unless something is wrong. If you happen to know who the distributor for the ad is, then I could check the traffic log.

The only source I found to support this was from patch.com, who I'd never heard of before.

I had to do a little digging, because my initial reaction was "There's no way this could be true." Because radio & TV stations actually don't have much freedom to pick and choose which political ads they will air and which ones they won't. But this specific ad actually isn't from any campaign, it's from a PAC based out of Florida. So TV stations do have some leeway in choosing whether or not to run it.

I can't help but think that this is a feature, not a bug. Otherwise isn't the rule trying to keep your customer alive?

Making the mortgage just doesn't seem as important. What's the next logical step....become complacent sheep? Getting revenge because it just doesn't matter anyway?

People still believe Trump is a bleach-drinking Russian asset who peed on someone to steal the election. You think they'll care about this?


Weird, no mention of heart attacks?

The study was reviewing 700K+ children.


Based on this data, parents should be hosting covid parties for their children. But I'm sure the CDC will just vote to have children boosted every 5-weeks.

This seems unlikely, as normalizing such behavior would take away one of the tools which government, and its cadre of loyal sycophants, have spent the past two years refining and improving. It would also negatively affect the business models of certain pharmaceutical companies which wield considerable political influence. These things cannot be allowed to happen.


EDIT: recognizing that you are drawing an analogy between COVID-19 and chicken pox, it bears remembering that while people of our age simply experienced chicken pox as an ordinary part of growing up, vaccination against chicken pox has been routine in the US since the mid 1990s. This has directly contributed to a radical reduction in the mortality rate of chicken pox, from more than 0.00375% in the 1980s to a paltry 0.002% today. And the only negative side-effect of this has been a more-than-doubling in the occurrence of shingles and postherpetic neuralgia in adults who did not experience chicken pox in their youth.

Fortunately, vaccines against shingles are now available.

This also seems unlikely, at least in the near-term.

Annual immunizations are fairly commonplace, and parents* have willingly complied with such recommendations.

* = other than those who believe in crystals and essential oils

Suddenly introducing a recommendation that a certain vaccine be administered every five weeks would fall well outside the zone of what most adults would easily rationalize.

I feel like maybe you're deliberately saying things which are not the same as the things you actually believe, possibly as an attempt at satire.

Proudly doing my part tonight to help maintain the illusion of representative democracy:




Governor Pritzker (D) at left, State Sen. Darren Bailey (R) right.

No, I do not know why Sen. Bailey was wearing literally the exact same tie as Gov. Pritzker.

But I do find it amusing that, despite all of the extra security we had on-premises (Chicago PD, private thugs, and the entourages of both candidates), wearing a wireless intercom headset and looking like you have a purpose still gets you right past every single beady-eyed muscle without so much as a glance at your credentials. Which I kept in my pocket the whole time, purely as a test.
