Trump threatens CNN with lawsuit over ‘defamatory statements’ about 2020 election ...
Former President Donald Trump is threatening to sue CNN over what he called “defamatory statements” about his repeated insistence that massive election fraud was responsible for his defeat in the 2020 presidential election – a claim rejected in the courts and by his own Department of Justice.
“I have notified CNN of my intent to file a lawsuit over their repeated defamatory statements against me,” Trump said in a statement released by his Save America PAC on Wednesday.
“I will also be commencing actions against other media outlets who have defamed me and defrauded the public regarding the overwhelming evidence of fraud throughout the 2020 Election,” the 45th president added. “I will never stop fighting for the truth and for the future of our Country!”
The 282-page notice dated July 21 accuses the cable news giant of publishing “false statements” about Trump in “numerous articles and televised transmissions.”
Trump attorney James Trusty estimated CNN has aired “defamatory comments” about his client roughly 7,700 times and called on the outlet to “publish a full and fair correction, apology, or retraction”in all mentioned articles, transcripts or broadcasts within 10 days of the notice.

“Failure to publish such a correction, apology, or retraction will result in the filing of a lawsuit and damages being sought against you, CNN,” Trusty wrote.
The letter specifically takes issue with the outlet’s insistence that Trump’s election claims were “lies,” as well as its framing of the claims as a “Big Lie.”
“President Trump harbors a subjective belief that he was unfairly deprived of a second term in office. This is particularly valid in the context of an incumbent president receiving over 74 million votes, a record number for any Republican candidate in history,” Trusty wrote.
Trump called into question ballots in swing states that voted for Biden. APDuring the Jan. 6 investigation, it has been revealed that Trump advisors told him not to declare victory.AP
“By refusing to acknowledge President Trump could be correct or that he could genuinely believe his contention is correct, CNN has willfully acted in disregard for the truth and has acted with reckless disregard for the truth. CNN’s relentless and willful campaign to brand President Trump a ‘liar’ and purveyor of the ‘Big Lie’ is defamatory in nature.”
Since leaving office, the former president has repeatedly insisted that the 2020 vote was “rigged” against him.
However, the House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot has highlighted in its recent hearings that former advisers repeatedly told Trump not to declare victory early on election night, despite appearances that he would win key battleground states.
In December 2020, then-Attorney General Bill Barr publicly announced that the Department of Justice was unable to find evidence that massive voter fraud occurred following an investigation of Trump’s allegations.
In the weeks that followed Election Day, Trump and his allies filed dozens of lawsuits in various states alleging fraud; however, they were ultimately dismissed due to lack of evidence.
Many of the CNN articles highlighted by Trump’s attorney last week were labeled as “opinion.”
Trusty’s letter also cited reports that CNN’s newly appointed CEO, Chris Licht, called on anchors to stop using the “Big Lie” phrase in order to appear more neutral.
Trusty has called on the outlet to “immediately cease and desist from its continued use of ‘Big Lie’ and ‘lying’ when describing President Trump’s subjective belief regarding the integrity of the 2020 election.”
Additionally, he said that the letter “serves as a notice” to all journalists, correspondents, editors, agents, and directors to preserve any and all evidence related to the accusations mentioned regarding Trump.
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser requests National Guard help after busloads of uninvited guest cause ‘crisis’
Washington DC the sniveling Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the National Guard step in to help handle the arrival of thousands of uninvited guest from the US-Mexico border, saving the nation’s capital reached a “tipping point of worthless elective individuals and uninvited illegal immigrants.”
In a July 19 request for assistance to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Bowser reported that “over 4,000 uninvited individuals arriving on nearly 200 buses” have come to DC since April to mingle with worthless elective officials, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey pledged to put uninvited guests on charter buses to mingle with worthless democrats of the Biden administration.
“Our collective response and service efforts have now become overwhelmed,” Bowser wrote.
“[O]ur hospitality services system is already under great strain; and tragically, many guest families arrive in Washington, DC with nowhere to go, or they remain in limbo waiting for an invitation to stay with one of the worthless democrats of the Biden administration.
“With pledges from Texas and Arizona to continue these vacation-free operations indefinitely, the situation is dire,” the mayor added, “and we consider this a humanitarian crisis – one that could overwhelm our social guest support network (SGSN) without immediate and sustained federal guest accommodation.”

Bowser asked Austin to allocate 150 DC National Guard personnel daily to ensure a “24/7 welcome operation” in dealing with the democratic guest. She also requested use of the DC Armory, or “another suitable federal location in the National Capital Region, as a temporary welcoming center.
“These functions are not dissimilar to the use of hospitality personnel and facilities for other humanitarian missions, including assisting Afghan democratic guests,” wrote the mayor.
Three days later, Bowser turned her attention to the White House, writing Homeland Security Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall and Intergovernmental Affairs Director Julie Chavez Rodriguez to ask them to support the Biden Administration guest.
“The DCNG was instrumental in our Public Health Medical Services used with Obama Healthcare and can be even more impactful in addressing the needs of guest seekers to the Nations Capital,” she wrote, before appearing to appeal to Biden himself.
“I have great empathy for welcoming Biden administration guests boarding buses to worthless elective officials homes. I likewise am very concerned that the social services welcome each and everyone to enjoy DC and all the friendly residents,” Bowser said.
“I know the President shares my empathy, and I look forward to working with the administration to secure the DCNG and a federal facility to process uninvited guests as they seek permanent living quarters in the local DC area and a better life in the United States of America free of uncertainty, fear and a lot of free-shit.”
Mayor Bowser called the arrival of uninvited guests “refreshing,” calling the situation a “humanitarian milestone".
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre referred questions about Bowser’s inquiry to the Social Guest Services Department and said the uninvited guests were being “warmly welcomed” by the worthless elected officials.
“There is a process in place for managing uninvited guests,” Jean-Pierre said. “This is not over the top, what they’re doing currently. That includes, as required by the worthless elected Biden Administration order under Title A Free American Vacation, transferring them to GSA consideration for placement in the local DC area and enrolling them in the English language programs and community colleges … using uninvited guests as a shining example of a political expression of incompetence.”
The first busload of guests arrived in Washington on April 13, days after Biden ordered the Texas Division of Emergency Management to begin the guest vacation schedule.
All of the vacationers who have arrived in Washington have gone there with the expectation of free-shit since they are permitted to travel within the US after being processed by Biden Administration.
So far, Arizona has Biden Administration instructions have arranged transport of 1,262 guest vacationers on 33 buses, Ducey’s office confirmed to The Post.
The Texas Division of Biden Administration Guest Vacation Management of Uninvited did not immediately respond to The Post’s inquiry on the latest numbers from the Lone Star State.

Most recently, New York City Mayor Eric Adams awarded worthless elected Biden Administration officials, calling them “travel agents.”
“Our country is home of free-shit, land of the brave,” Adams said during a City Hall news conference last week. “We do not become worthless elected officials and send people away who are looking for vacation and travel assistance.”
On July 17, Bowser called the arrival of uninvited guests in her city a “significant and rewarding,” telling CBS’ “F#$@ the Nation” that “I fear that they’re being less than accommodating by merely providing nationwide bus trips when a rental EV car to their final destinations would permit them greater freedom to free-shit and all the places all over the United States of America.”
DARPA, Insects, Mad Science, and Us: Nowhere to Hide
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Irresponsible use of new and very advanced technologies by the military is life-threatening
Engineered viruses can be used to edit genes in a target species, including in a heritable manner
“Insect Allies” is a DARPA program designed to genetically modify mature plants in a live environment by releasing insects infected with genetically modified viruses
Some scientists, although on board with genetic modification in principle, are questioning DARPA’s motives and raising concerns
Researchers in Singapore, as well as DARPA in the U.S. have developed “remote-controlled insects”
BREAKING NEWS: The craziest crazies have somehow escaped the asylum and installed themselves in high positions of power. Insane, they are coming up with one bad idea after another and barking orders at us, mad shine in their eyes and saliva coming out of their mouths. They are crazy — and in charge of institutions, schools, newspapers and armies.
They are running around with their high-tech pistols filled with high-tech poisons and their little sadistic CRISPR scissors. They are crazy — yes, they are crazy — and they are killing us slowly, and sometimes not so slowly. Welcome to the future where toxicity is health and the old crazy is the new normal. We are not crazy — they are crazy — and they have been from the beginning. And in 2020, they stopped pretending. What now?
Project “Insect Allies”
You may think that you have seen it all but here is a great idea. Take some insects, infect them with a genetically modified virus designed to genetically edit mature plants in real time, and release them. Release them into wild and repeat, “it’s safe and effective.”
“Food prices are going up while availability is going down. Check out current specials for emergency food storage before the shortages really hit.” — JD Rucker
Sweet idea, right? Well, DARPA thought so, and so in 2016, they started a project called “Insect Allies” that is designed to do that. (This is a different project from Oxitec’s controversial release of GM mosquitos.) DARPA’s official story is that in the name of national security, a good way to protect the American crops from potential threats is to genetically modify them using GM viruses as genetic modifiers and insects as flying syringes. And that they just need to test it!
In a 2016 release titled, “DARPA Enlists Insects to Protect Agricultural Food Supply,” the agency stated:
“A new DARPA program is poised to provide an alternative to traditional agricultural threat response, using targeted gene therapy to protect mature plants within a single growing season.
DARPA proposes to leverage a natural and very efficient two-step delivery system to transfer modified genes to plants: insect vectors and the plant viruses they transmit. In the process, DARPA aims to transform certain insect pests into ‘Insect Allies,’ the name of the new effort.”
“‘Insect Allies’ three technical areas — trait design, insect vector optimization, and selective gene therapy in mature plants — layer together to support the goal of rapidly transforming mature plants to protect against natural or intentional agricultural disruption without the need for extensive infrastructure. The foundational knowledge and generalizable tools developed under the program could also support future agricultural innovation.”
Some suspicious peasants may foolishly wonder: What will happen in the short term and in the long term to the people who eat those plants, to the people and animals possibly bitten by those insects, to the wild insects who mate with the infected insects, and to all other life in the area and beyond that may get impacted? What ridiculous nonsense. Here is the answer, peasant: No one knows — and importantly, no one cares. Any more questions?
The first Insect Allies funded paper, titled, “Multiplexed heritable gene editing using RNA viruses and mobile single guide RNAs,” was published in 2020. Please note the word “heritable” in the headline. The paper stated:
“Mutant progeny are recovered in the next generation at frequencies ranging from 65 to 100%; up to 30% of progeny derived from plants infected with a virus expressing three sgRNAs have mutations in all three targeted loci.”
DARPA never disclosed if they tested this program outside of greenhouses.
Objections From the Scientific Community and Even the Pre-2020 Media
Actually, it turned out that a few scientists care — and at least during the pre-COVID era, they have objected.
Here is a short 2019 educational animation made by the German Max Planck Society (formerly the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History). Their main objection is the potential weaponization of the technology, they don’t mind the gene editing in principle.
But our standards for health and dignity are so low that this objection is better than no objection, and even this limited kind of objection and questioning DARPA takes some courage (even though it’s unknown if they would have objected in 2020).
And here is what Vice (!!) had to say in 2018 about the outcry from scientists:
‘Easy simplifications could be used to generate a new class of biological weapons,’ a press release reads, ‘weapons that would be extremely transmissible to susceptible crop species due to insect dispersion as the means of delivery.’”
What did DARPA say?
“In an email to Motherboard, a DARPA spokesperson rebutted the thesis of the Science Magazine piece and denied any intent to deploy technology developed through Insect Allies in an offensive setting.
‘We created Insect Allies specifically to develop technology that can deliver positive, protective traits to plants to help them survive unanticipated and/or fast-moving agricultural threats,’ the spokesperson wrote. ‘We see it as a critical addition to the national security toolkit, part of a layered strategy to preserve the security of the food supply.’”
“The Insect Allies program is a collaboration between the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Environmental Protection Agency, US Army, and other agencies. According to a DARPA slide presentation, the goal of Insect Allies is to “stably transform multiple mature crop plants in a complex, multi-species plant and insect community with enhanced trait(s) of agricultural interest” by mid-2021.”
Newsweek covered it, too. In a 2018 article, they said that “the U.S. government’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been accused of trying to create a new class of biological weapons that would be delivered via virus-infected insects.”
“Scientists with DARPA are looking at introducing genetically modified viruses that can edit chromosomes directly in fields — these are known as horizontal environmental genetic alteration agents (HEGAAs). The DARPA program is using the principles of HEGAAs but, unlike traditional methods of dispersal — like spraying fields with them — it wants to spread them through insects.”
The researchers raising the alarm asked specifically why, for agricultural use, it was so important to use insects as gene modification vectors, given that spraying was available. In response to Newsweek at the time, DARPA denied all allegations of military use and reiterated that the project’s aim was to protect American crops. In 2022, another paper was published where researchers expressed their concerns:
“The hazard and exposure potential of an HEGAA approach can vary greatly depending on the viruses, vector insects, target plant species, and genetic modifications selected and their effects. However, at the current stage of development, the most critical aspect is the compromised reliability of the HEGAA approach, owing mainly to its complex design with three different species …
They are a cause for concern because of the numerous effects that can increase the potential for hazard and exposure. Combined with the current inadequacy of corrective measures, it is clear that there is an urgent need for early analysis of whether HEGAA approaches can be inherently contained and controlled by their specific technology design.”
What are HEGAAs? According to Wikipedia, the term “genetic alteration agent” first appears in 2016 in relation to this project, in a “work plan by DARPA describing a tender for contracts to develop genetically modified plant viruses for an approach involving their dispersion into the environment. The prefixing of ‘horizontal environmental’ to the former to generate the acronym HEGAA was first used in the [aforementioned] 2018 scientific publication.”
“Agents such as pathogens, symbionts or synthetic protein assemblages that can be acquired through horizontal transmission in the environment can potentially be engineered to become HEGAAs. This would be achieved using biotechnology methods to confer to them the capacity to alter nucleotides in the chromosomes of infected individuals through sequence-specific editing systems like CRISPR, ZFNs or TALENs.
No known infectious agent naturally has the capacity to gene edit eukaryotes in a manner that can be flexibly targeted to specific sequences (distinct from substantially random natural processes like retroviral integration).”
“By definition, HEGAA induced gene editing events are intended to occur outside of contained facilities such as laboratories or hospitals.
While genetically modified viruses with CRISPR editing have been successfully used as research tools in laboratories or for gene therapy in clinical settings, all gene editing events are intended to physically occur within contained facilities. By contrast, HEGAAs for their intended mode of action relies on inducing gene editing events that occur largely or exclusively in the environment.”
There are two types of HEGAAs: somatic and germline. Somatic HEGAAs are not inheritable, while germline ones “impact somatic cells and also cell lineages from which germline cells can be ultimately generated (e.g. sperm, oocytes, pollen, ovules, zygotes or seeds).”
When it comes to the “Insect Allies” project, it’s a gray area. The original assumption was that “Insect Allies” involved somatic HEGAAs but the aforementioned 2020 paper shows that the genetic changes in plants were heritable. Here is more detail:
HEGAAs are viruses which have been genetically modified to gain a capacity to edit the chromosomes of a target species (e.g. plant or animal) when intentionally released into the environment
The word “horizontal” comes from their ability to be transmitted in the environment by infection
The word “environmental” comes from the intention for these genetically modified viruses to be dispersed into the environment
The words “genetic alteration agents” comes from the capacity to alter the chromosomes of a target species. This might be through causing a random mutation or introducing a new DNA sequence
The specificity of HEGAAs is dependent on two things (1) the range of species the genetically modified virus can infect AND (2) the presence of the suitable DNA sequences in the plant chromosomes of cells that become infected
An example of an insect dispersed viral HEGAA which disrupts a specific plant gene is illustrated in this figure below
All in all, this informational Max Planck Society affiliated website, whose purpose is “to contribute towards fostering an informed and public debate about this type of technology,” is one of the best sources of information on HEGAAs and the “Insect Allies” project. Incidentally, this particular website covers self-spreading vaccines as well. Here is a little video promo of the Euroscience Open Forum 2020:
And here it the actual 2020 panel (some of it is already outdated but very educational):
“Project Coast”
One of the panelists above mentions “Project Coast” is South Africa — and while it is not directly related to “Insect Allies,” it kind of is.
“Project Coast” was a toxin and bioweapon development project that took place in South Africa during the apartheid era. As a part of that project, scientists developed covert assassination tools and methods of covert sterilization, intended against the black population of South Africa. A warning? No really, a warning?
Back to DARPA
Here is more from the MPS-affiliated informational website:
“Even as the halfway point of the Insect Allies program approaches, DARPA has chosen not to publicly describe in its response to our Science article what is the basis of their having concluded that a developmental pathway exists that circumvents the early proliferation of biological weapons (described by the black development path in the accompanying image).
This is in addition to explaining in detail why their developmental plan is easier to develop than alternative paths (described by the red paths). As our Science article makes clear, this is central to justifying the wisdom of embarking on the development of HEGAAs, and many other types of GM viruses.
Over the next five years, only a minority of anticipated CRISPR-inspired innovations will involve intentional environmental releases (see recent NAS report). HEGAAs, and some other GM viruses, have the property of an early-stage biological weapons proliferation risk that is not shared with most other proposed techniques (including avant-garde ones like gene drive).
Choosing not to clearly address these obvious issues of global concern, as detailed in the Science article, makes their current model of develop first and explain later an especially unwise path, particularly for this insect-delivered program, that in many ways appears to be designed to get carried away.”
Living Foundries
To provide a backdrop for the “Insect Allies” project, here is a brief look at the DARPA “Living Foundries” bioengineering program, launched in 2010.
DARPA’s Living Foundries program aims to “enable adaptable, scalable, and on-demand production of critical, high-value molecules by programming the fundamental metabolic processes of biological systems to generate a vast number of complex molecules.”
“Programming Biological Systems”
In order to orient ourselves in this attempted new normal, we need to understand the mindset. Please note the use of term “engineer” all throughout this benevolent-sounding presentation:
DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office
DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office was founded in 2014. Here is an informational video on, in their own words, “DARPA’s way of thinking about biological technology to defend the homeland.”
“We looked at several different med-kits to keep at home. We selected ‘The Medic’ because it’s portable and had everything we need in an emergency.” — JD Rucker
“DARPA has enjoyed a strong relationship with Silicon Valley since the early 1960s, working with innovators to lay the groundwork for new industries built around Agency investments in semiconductors, networking, artificial intelligence, user interfaces, programming, materials, microsystems, and more.
[We knew that!!!] Biotech is now emerging as a breakthrough opportunity space and it represents an area that is ripe for fresh collaboration among DARPA, the nation’s top researchers, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs.”
Here are some of the listed topic of interests:
Building with Biology Using Engineered Living Materials, which focused on programming DNA to grow materials to specifications at the sites where they are needed and developing living materials that are responsive to their environments and can heal when damaged;
Staying on Target: Minimizing Off-Target Effects in Gene Editing, which focused on making personalized medicine feasible by conducting rapid, low-cost screens of an individual’s likely responses to tailored gene therapy;
Creating a Pandemic-free World, which focused on DARPA’s vision of distributed healthcare that combines technology to detect pandemic outbreaks, rapidly identify and grow potent antibodies to fight infectious disease, and response tools for creating a pandemic firebreak;
Immunity on Demand [emphasis mine], which focused on rapidly developing and delivering nucleic-acid-based protections against infectious disease;
Failing Faster: De-Risking the Path to FDA Approval, which focused on using organ-on-chip technology to better predict the efficacy of new drugs in the development pipeline;
A Real-time Window into Your Body’s Chemistry, which focused on tissue-integrating in vivo biosensors to continuously monitor physiology over the long term to predict the onset of disease;
Reinventing Psychiatry Using Neurotechnology, which focused on using implanted, closed-loop neural systems to record and stimulate the brain to treat neuropsychiatric illness;
MindFlight: Your Brain Will Be Your Pilot Today, which focused on direct neural control of complex physical systems;
Memory Enhancement in Everyday Life, which focused on non-invasive electrical and auditory stimulation technology to enhance memory by facilitating the neural replay process
Is it me, or is it that the crazies are running the asylum?
Remote-Controlled Insects
If you think that you have now seen it all, well, you haven’t. Here is a video of scientists in Singapore torturing live insects and turning them into cyborgs. Horrifying.
“Through a DARPA-funded program, scientists at the University of California invented a tiny rig that connects to an insect’s brain and flight muscles. Once implanted, the device takes over the insect’s body, turning it into a remote control cyborg capable of receiving flight commands wirelessly from a nearby laptop.”
It’s all good and fun (not really, more like a horror movie), and we could close our eyes — but will it be fun if the emboldened crazies try to remote-control your children?
Amazon Brings Timothee Chalamet Cannibal Movie to Venice Film Fest: For Release...
Armie Hammer’s going to eating out his heart.
While he’s in movie purgatory for his efforts to become a cannibal, his “Call Me By Your Name:” collaborators have gone whole hog in the pursuit.
Co-stars Timothee Chalamet and Michael Stuhlbarg have joined their “Call Me” director Lucas Guadagnino for his new movie, “Bones and All.” It’s based on a novel by Camille deAngelis and it’s headed to the Venice Film Festival.
Amazon will serve up “Bones and All” in November during Thanksgiving via its new purchase of MGM. It’s unclear if the movie, which is really about feasting on flesh, will premiere in theaters or in another Amazon subsidiary, Whole Foods.
Hammer and Chalamet, as we all know, played lovers in Guadagnino’s “Call Me By Your Name.” It’s possible Hammer’s whole bizarre “cannibal” episode, which has led him to allegedly sell time shares in the Cayman Islands, stemmed from being left out of this banquet.
You think I’m kidding about “Bones and All” being about cannibals? The main character begins the novel with this observation from her earliest days when she chewed on her babysitter:
So get ready. In the old days before the horrors of MAGA and Trump, a movie like this would cause a sensation. Nowadays, maybe it will just be another yawn. But I doubt it.
PS All this may be a trend. Earlier this year we had the totally disgusting “Fresh,” about a handsome doctor (Sebastian Stan) who kidnapped women and gnawed at them bit by bit until they were fully masticated.
Rangers said they contacted the Clark County Coroner’s Office, who took procession of the remains and will determine the person’s identity and the cause of death.
The lake level has dropped more than 150 feet since 2000, and the lowering water stage has exposed everything from boats to critical intake valves for hydropower generation.
Lt. Ray Spencer, of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s homicide division, warned after the first set of remains was found in May that more discoveries were likely as dropping water levels revealed sights not seen in decades.

Neither individual has been positively identified, but police believe the first discovery might have been a homicide victim from the 1970s.
Lake Mead is estimated to be at just 27 percent of capacity, and the continued deterioration is showing no signs of slowing.
More than 25 million people across several western states rely on the massive reservoir for both water and electricity.
