“The story in this town is not about cats or dogs. It’s about mules. It’s a twin tragedy of migrant workers from Haiti exploited and locals from Springfield marginalized,” Nomani wrote in the Jewish Journal.

She said, “Just about every week since 2019, First Diversity Staffing Group Inc. has shuttled vulnerable Haitian migrants in unmarked white Ford and Chevy vans from Florida to Ohio, where they are allegedly exploited for cheap labor by companies like Dole Food Company Inc.,” adding, “It is a secretive and sinister operation that has gone unchecked for more than five years.”

Nomani revealed FBI anti-trafficking agents and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost are now investigating allegations of human trafficking in Springfield.

What began as my efforts to track down a rumor about animal cruelty has turned into an investigation that reveals a malignant system of labor exploitation involving a local businessman, George Ten, whom Haitians and local residents call “King George,” the chief executive at First Diversity Staffing Group Inc., a Springfield company that has been the tip of the spear in the alleged trafficking operation of Haitians to the town.

***

This is a story of unchecked greed and cruelty, committed not by the immigrants, but to the immigrants, with local residents of Springfield also a casualty.

Nomani provided an image of one of those vans owned by staffing companies that shuttles the migrants to factories.

The ex-WSJ journo said ‘George Ten’, the alleged mastermind behind this scheme, lives in a mansion in rural Ohio. She continued, “His nickname is “King George” because of his opulent lifestyle of luxury cars, cash handouts, and fast talk. For years, he has operated his reign of alleged exploitation.”

This is stunning, as Nomani noted:

One Haitian man I interviewed asked to be anonymous for fear of retaliation and recalled how he was picked up by a driver for one of Ten’s vans on a street corner near a Winn-Dixie grocery store in Immokalee, Florida. After the long journey to Springfield, he was dropped off at a rundown home on Rice Street, infested with cockroaches. He soon found work through First Diversity at Jefferson Industries Corporation, earning $12.50 an hour; he didn’t know how much George skimmed off his wages. The home he lived in had no working heat, and he bought an electric heater to survive the cold Ohio winter, the heater barely heating his room.

What essentially began as an unverified claim by Trump about migrants eating pets has led to the disturbing truth of alleged labor trafficking and modern-day slavery in Springfield. The Haitians, here legally, are being exploited by mega corporations…

In March, we previewed to readers…

She said her reporting on this would “blow your mind.”

What will also blow your mind is that this alleged labor trafficking network has possibly also surfaced in Charleroi, Pennsylvania.

We cited a resident of the town, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. In a video, the resident revealed the complex network of staffing vans in a town that is 50% Haitian. The vans shuttle migrants back and forth to several food packaging plants.

Here’s the full video:

What the Trump team is discovering – the story from Springfield and possibly even Charleroi, is not about cats and dogs. It’s about the federal government, and maybe even a shadowy network of NGOs, that dumped the migrants into small towns nationwide. This cheap and exploited labor benefits mega corporations but crushes native blue-collar workers.

At the end of the day, this is not ‘America First’ – terrible foreign policy by the radicals in the far-left Biden-Harris admin has sold out the blue-collar worker.

WSJ Editor-In-Chief Admits to Davos Elites: ‘We No Longer Own the News’ https://americanconservativemovement.com/wsj-editor-in-chief-admits-to-davos-elites-we-no-longer-own-the-news/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/wsj-editor-in-chief-admits-to-davos-elites-we-no-longer-own-the-news/#comments Sun, 21 Jan 2024 19:16:22 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=200568 (Zero Hedge)—Thanks to the internet and (shrinking) press freedoms, legacy media outlets no longer have a monopoly on information and narratives.

Case in point, during a WEF discussion at Davos entitled “Defending Truth,” Wall St. Journal EIC Emma Tucker lamented this loss of control over ‘the facts,’ as Modernity.news reports.

“I think there’s a very specific challenge for the legacy brands, like the New York Times and like the Wall Street Journal,” Tucker said, adding “If you go back really not that long ago, as I say, we owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well.

“If it said it in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, then that was a fact,” she continued, adding “Nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news and they’re much more questioning about what we’re saying.”

Watch:

Russia, Russia, Russia!

European Commission VP Věra Jourová also piped up during the same discussion, calling the rise of “disinformation” a “security threat,” and suggesting that “It was part of the Russian military doctrine that they will start information war, and we are in it now.”

Like when the Hillary Clinton campaign used a former (?) British spook’s Russian source to fabricate a hoax against Donald Trump, which was peddled through the Wall Street Journal and every single other legacy media outlet? That kind of information war? Or when 51 former US intelligence officials used disinformation to influence the 2020 election, suggesting the NY Post‘s Hunter Biden laptop bombshell was Russian meddling?

Disinformation is a very powerful tool,” Jourová continued, adding that “In the EU we are focusing on improving of the system where the people will get the facts right. We don’t speak about opinions. We are not correcting anyone’s opinions or language. This is about the facts.”

Whatever.

More:

As we highlighted earlier in the week, Jourová has spent her Davos time meeting the heads of the likes of YouTube and Meta and ensuring they “play by the rules,” while her boss, Ursula von der Leyen called for overarching globalist control over the flow of all information in the digital age. –Modernity.news

Energy Department Caught Massively Cheating to Boost Electric Vehicle Efficiency Data and Corporate Media Is Ignoring It https://americanconservativemovement.com/energy-department-caught-massively-cheating-to-boost-electric-vehicle-efficiency-data-and-corporate-media-is-ignoring-it/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/energy-department-caught-massively-cheating-to-boost-electric-vehicle-efficiency-data-and-corporate-media-is-ignoring-it/#comments Wed, 17 Jan 2024 11:37:30 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=200427 (Substack)—Corporate cheating scandals are always big news. They often result in huge fines and can lead to class-action lawsuits when giant companies flub data to keep the public in the dark. But the latest automotive data cheating scandal is getting zero attention. Why? Because it’s not the companies but the U.S. Department of Energy that is doing the cheating.

The reason, of course, is because they are desperate to push their so-called “green” agenda to fight so-called “climate change” so they intentionally manipulated fuel efficiency data so consumers wouldn’t realize how awful electric vehicles really are.

As WSJ noted, this isn’t a minor adjustment. The federal government allows EV companies to multiply their reported efficient by nearly 700% [Emphasis Added]:

It’s hard to think of a worse environmental scandal in recent years than Volkswagen’s 2015 diesel-emissions cheating. The German automaker was rightly pursued by regulators, enforcement agencies and class-action lawyers.

The scandal ended up costing Volkswagen an estimated $33 billion in fines and financial settlements—and revealed that diesel-emissions cheating was endemic. In 2020 Daimler AG made a $1.5 billion settlement over emissions cheating in Mercedes-Benz diesel vehicles. (One of us helped secure that settlement.) Last year engine maker Cummins agreed to pay $1.7 billion to settle claims that it skirted diesel-emissions standards.

In all of these cases, regulators punished carmakers that had cut corners and misled the public. But when it comes to electric cars, the government has a cheating scandal of its own. That scandal, grabbing far fewer headlines, is buried deep in the Federal Register—on page 36,987 of volume 65.

When carmakers test gasoline-powered vehicles for compliance with the Transportation Department’s fuel-efficiency rules, they must use real values measured in a laboratory. By contrast, under an Energy Department rule, carmakers can arbitrarily multiply the efficiency of electric cars by 6.67. This means that although a 2022 Tesla Model Y tests at the equivalent of about 65 miles per gallon in a laboratory (roughly the same as a hybrid), it is counted as having an absurdly high compliance value of 430 mpg. That number has no basis in reality or law.

For exaggerating electric-car efficiency, the government rewards carmakers with compliance credits they can trade for cash. Economists estimate these credits could be worth billions: a vast cross-subsidy invented by bureaucrats and paid for by every person who buys a new gasoline-powered car.

Until recently, this subsidy was a Washington secret. Carmakers and regulators liked it that way. Regulators could announce what sounded like stringent targets, and carmakers would nod along, knowing they could comply by making electric cars with arbitrarily boosted compliance values. Consumers would unknowingly foot the bill.

The secret is out. After environmental groups pointed out the illegality of this charade, the Energy Department proposed eliminating the 6.67 multiplier for electric cars, recognizing that the number “lacks legal support” and has “no basis.”

Carmakers have panicked and asked the Biden administration to delay any return to legal or engineering reality. That is understandable. Without the multiplier, the Transportation Department’s proposed rules are completely unattainable. But workable rules don’t require government-created cheat codes. Carmakers should confront that problem head on.

This is a bombshell story and WSJ is among the few in corporate media covering it. The rest that did take note made sure to bury the story as far back as possible. Between government, corporate media, activists, and the Globalist Elite Cabal, they will do anything they can to make people believe electric vehicles aren’t nearly as disastrous as they currently are.

The Biden-Harris Regime Knew the Submersible Imploded Sunday but Milked the Story to Coverup Their Scandals https://americanconservativemovement.com/the-biden-harris-regime-knew-the-submersible-imploded-sunday-but-milked-the-story-to-coverup-their-scandals/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/the-biden-harris-regime-knew-the-submersible-imploded-sunday-but-milked-the-story-to-coverup-their-scandals/#comments Fri, 23 Jun 2023 01:37:42 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=193864 Much of the world has been glued to their news sources for information about the submersible that went missing Sunday. It was confirmed Thursday that the tour vehicle that took the wealthy to see the sunken RMS Titanic imploded after debris was found.

Did Joe Biden know the submersible had been lost hours after the tragedy? Did his regime withhold the information to cover up for various bombshells pertaining to his son’s transgressions, not to mention his own impeachment?

Jack Posobiec thinks so:

The WSJ is reporting the US Navy detected the Titan implosion on Sunday but Biden held the news until today’s whistleblower testimony on Hunter. The entire thing was a distraction op.

They let everyone think those people were alive!

Hunter Biden has had multiple stories haunt him this week, but the top story for most corporate media outlets has been the OceanGate crisis, which has now become the OceanGate tragedy. The Biden stories were known by the White House ahead of time. Did they time out the release of the truth to distract from their own foibles?

According to WSJ:

A top secret military acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard what the U.S. Navy suspected was the Titan submersible implosion hours after the submersible began its voyage, officials involved in the search said.

The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications, according to a U.S. defense official. Shortly after the submersible’s disappearance Sunday, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday and reported its findings to the Coast Guard commander on site, U.S. defense officials said.

Let’s be crystal clear. The fact that they’re revealing this information now tells us they withheld the information for a reason, and that reason was almost certainly to keep the submersible in the news through most of this week.

Here’s How It Went Down

You can call this a theory if you’d like because technically speaking it is, but I’d bet good money that I’m right about what has happened over the past five days.

Someone at the WSJ received a leak about the implosion being heard. They contacted the Pentagon for confirmation and sought a secondary source. They were commanded to bury the story until further notice because the White House needed the crisis to stay a crisis before a properly timed tragedy announcement was made.

We know this for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, there is zero reason to leak the information to the WSJ today. It’s a top secret program whose presence reveals important defense capabilities to our enemies. Now they know we can hear a small submersible’s implosion in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean at great depths. That’s information you don’t want leaked under normal circumstances.

That tells us the WSJ had procured the information before — likely Monday at the latest. With their hands tied, the Pentagon made a deal that the information could be posted but only after WSJ was cleared to do so. Today’s multiple Biden revelations triggered the discovery of the debris and subsequent news about our top secret capabilities.

The second reason we know this is how it went down is the ludicrous notion that officials heard “knocking.” This information served one purpose and one purpose only: To keep people hoping for a miracle and glued to their news sources for more information, completely ignoring the various scandals the White House wanted covered up.

Had reports of knocking not been released, everyone would have assumed the worst by Monday or Tuesday. But a glimmer of hope and chance of a miracle made the story even more compelling through Wednesday. By Thursday, all of the negative Biden bombshells had dropped unnoticed, so a version of the truth was released. The WSJ was granted permission to reveal their top secret information, which was reluctantly promised by the Pentagon in exchange for being reluctantly delayed by the WSJ.

This is who we’re dealing with, folks. We have a current administration with no shame, no boundaries, and nothing but desperate coverups keeping them going every day.

Instead of Dropping the Baseless Case Against Trump, Merrick Garland Opts for Pointless Special Counsel https://americanconservativemovement.com/instead-of-dropping-the-baseless-case-against-trump-merrick-garland-opts-for-pointless-special-counsel/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/instead-of-dropping-the-baseless-case-against-trump-merrick-garland-opts-for-pointless-special-counsel/#comments Fri, 18 Nov 2022 20:22:20 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=185105 Since the jackboots in the FBI were sent to raid Melania Trump’s underwear drawer at Mar-a-Lago, corporate media and Joe Biden’s Department of Injustice have done everything they can to justify the invasion on a former president. They’ve failed miserably and it seemed logical for Attorney General Merrick Garland to drop the case and issue an apology. With the midterm elections over, it would have made sense since doing so would not do political damage to the Democrats.

Unfortunately, Garland and his handlers have decided to double down and appoint a special counsel. According to WSJ:

Attorney General Merrick Garland will appoint a special counsel to determine whether former President Donald Trump should face charges stemming from Justice Department probes, according to a person familiar with the matter.

A formal announcement, which is expected by Friday afternoon, would come three days after Mr. Trump announced another bid for the presidency and would mark the naming of the third independent prosecutor in five years to examine issues involving Mr. Trump. The exact scope of the special counsel’s remit and who it would be couldn’t be determined.

The move reflects the sensitivity of Mr. Garland overseeing any investigation into Mr. Trump now that he is a declared presidential candidate. President Biden, who has said he intends to run for re-election in 2024, nominated Mr. Garland to head the Justice Department in part for the former judge’s promise to insulate the agency from political influence.

Some legal experts have anticipated such an appointment. Regulations governing special counsels provide for the attorney general to name an outsider if he determines that the investigation or prosecution presents a conflict of interest for the department and recusals of certain officials wouldn’t be enough to overcome the concerns.

As I noted in a segment on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, this is all about picking the wrong option, and that should concern us. What do they expect to accomplish? What charges are they going to “trump up” against Donald Trump?

Here’s my take:
