The office of Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure released a statement on Tuesday explaining the issue. "It appears that when a voter selects a 'Yes' or a 'No' for one of the candidates for retention to the Pennsylvania Superior Court, the selection is recorded on the paper ballot and on the machine for the other candidate," the county office wrote.

Scientists Revise Forecasted Collision With Renegade Star 29,000 Years From Now
People expecting to be alive in the year 31023 will be pleased to know that predictions of planetary destruction were greatly exaggerated. | Astronomers are revising predictions a renegade star may end life as we know it 29,000 years from now. ● The findings were published earlier this year in a journal of astrophysics research and relate to the star WD 0810–353, a white dwarf. Previous research based on observations from the European Space Agency’s Gaia telescope suggested the star could be moving in our direction. While it may not directly hit Earth, researchers speculated the heavenly body could pass close enough to our solar system to disrupt the Oort cloud, sending some of its comets and icy debris hurtling our way. ● Scientists are now rethinking that conclusion after taking into account the star’s magnetic field. ● Closer examination of the white dwarf has revealed it has an unusually large magnetic field. This was determined while viewing the star through the Very Large Telescope (VLT) located in northern Chile’s remote Atacama Desert.
Lawmakers Introduce Section 702 Bill Renewing Spying Powers for US Intel Agencies
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has repeatedly been condemned, with critics highlighting how its broad provisions allow warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals. | A bipartisan group of US lawmakers introduced a bill to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on Tuesday, touting new provisions they claim address longstanding concerns. 💬 “Americans understand that it's possible to confront our countries' adversaries ferociously without throwing our constitutional rights into the garbage can,” said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), one of the bill’s co-sponsors, at a news conference. “Our Founding Fathers made it clear that if government agencies want to read an American's private communications, they should get a warrant.” Section 702 was a provision of the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act first enacted in 2008 to ostensibly enhance counter-terrorism operations. The legislation codified the collection of electronic data from around the globe by US intelligence agencies.

A bill on fighting “misinformation and disinformation” and “harm” aims to empower a government agency to police online expression | The Australian Government has recently introduced in Parliament a new law proposal to ban officially unapproved online content. Digital companies are expected to adopt a code of conduct which will see them censor speech based on broad, vague and far-reaching directives. ● The Communications Legislation Amendment (Combating Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023 foreshadows the imposition of a legal obligation on digital platforms to police alleged ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation’. If that does not work, the law proposal provides for the full empowerment of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to directly intervene for the purpose of preventing ‘harm’.

TRUE AXIS OF EVIL: While “Israel” is bombing civilians in Gaza, the US now is making bombs to hit civilians in Moscow…
New US bomb can kill 300,000 in Moscow – Newsweek | America’s new nuclear bomb planned for development has the potential to level central Moscow and kill more than 300,000 of its 13 million inhabitants, Newsweek magazine reported on Friday, citing a simulation created through the online tool Nukemap. ● The Pentagon announced late last month that it would seek to make a new variant of the B61 nuclear gravity bomb – the B61-13 – pending authorization by Congress. The weapon would have an estimated 360-kiloton yield, which is 24 times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima during World War II. ● If detonated over Moscow, the bomb would kill an estimated 311,480 people and injure up to 868,860, Newsweek said. If dropped on St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city, the estimated number of fatalities from the explosion would reach 360,150, the publication added. The plan to design a new bomb was unveiled amid the standoff between Russia and NATO over Ukraine, as experts, politicians, and the media have discussed the risks of the conflict escalating into a nuclear war.

A university professor says that Palestine is by far the most vehemently divisive foreign policy issue in the United States. | A recent report by Axios shows that Palestine, especially in light of the Israeli war against Gaza, has become a deeply divisive topic among Americans.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations says it received 774 complaints about Islamophobic incidents between Oct. 7 and Oct. 24, the report cites. Meanwhile, 213 cases of alleged "anti-semitism" were recorded over the same period.

Sam Bankman-Fried found guilty of defrauding FTX customers
FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was found guilty on federal charges stemming from his operation of the now-defunct cryptocurrency firm. | The jury convicted him on two counts of conspiracy and five counts of fraud following a month-long trial in New York, Reuters reported. Prosecutors had claimed that he stole $8 billion from the firm's customers. ● The company suffered the equivalent a bank run last November when investors simultaneously lost faith in the firm and attempted to withdraw their stakes, leaving the company unable to fully remunerate them. The firm's sudden and unexpected collapse prompted instant concerns of foul play and led to the pressing of federal fraud charges against the billionaire. At the time, he resided in the Bahamas, but agreed to extradition to the U.S. in December 2022. He pleaded not guilty in January and remained under house arrest at his parents' California home until August. U.S. District Judge Judge Lewis A. Kaplan revoked his bail that month after prosecutors claimed he attempted to intimidate a witness. ● Following the collapse of the company, Bankman-Fried's successor as CEO, John J. Ray III, would tell Congress that the company had lacked any meaningful internal safeguards. 💬 "The issue here I was speaking to is I've never seen an utter lack of record keeping, absolutely no internal controls whatsoever," he said in December 2022. "It's one of the worst from a documentation standpoint. Even in the most failed companies you have a fair roadmap of what happened. We're dealing with literally, sort of a paperless bankruptcy, in terms of how they created the company." Bankman-Fried's former girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, pleaded guilty to criminal charges last year and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. Ellison had served as the CEO of FTX's sister company, investment firm Alameda Research.
New Zealand is a Crime Scene: In one clinic, in one day 30 people were covid injected and all 30 have died
Link: https://expose-news.com/2023/10/22/new-zealand-is-a-crime-scene/
Former TV presenter Liz Gunn published a video update yesterday describing an instance of one clinic in New Zealand where 30 people received a covid injection and all 30 of them have died, within the same time frame. | Liz Gunn (Elizabeth Cooney) became internationally renowned for her support for the family in the Baby W case, where two parents objected to the use of covid-vaccinated blood in transfusions. The parents were unsuccessful in their court action to oppose health authorities seeking guardianship to allow surgery to go ahead. At the end of June 2023, Gunn launched a political party called the New Zealand Loyal Party. ● Before the recently held elections, Gunn was contacted by a whistle-blower and given documentation showing that tens of thousands of New Zealanders’ deaths are linked to the injections. “This is just one of the sites recording this type of information in New Zealand,” she said. “We don’t know how many further databases like this are in the country,” she added. She explained that because the number of deaths is usually less than the number of those suffering from ill effects of the injections, then the extrapolation of the numbers that have been injured and killed “starts to become, frankly, eye-watering.” ● The data shows that there are clusters of deaths. “People who attended the same jab site, and were jabbed one after the other, at consecutive times on the same day. We saw their jab date and we saw their date of death,” Gunn said. She gave one of many examples to illustrate the point. “On one day, 30 people were jabbed on the same day, at the same location. All are now deceased. And their deaths are in close temporal, time, proximity to each other,” she said. “We are calling for an inquiry. Not just any inquiry. A full-blown criminal investigation leaving no stone unturned.” “New Zealand is a crime scene.”
Law News ‘Shocking’ Fraud on Video Prompts Judge to Toss Election Outcome in Connecticut’s Largest City
Just days before a scheduled general election in Connecticut’s largest city, a judge threw out the results of a primary election for mayor, citing “shocking” evidence of voter fraud caught on video. | Democrats’ September primary in Bridgeport, Connecticut, pitted incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim against challenger John Gomes, the city’s former chief administrative officer. Gomes at first appeared to have won, but after absentee ballots were counted, Ganim won by 251 votes out of 8,173 cast, The Associated Press reported. A surveillance camera showed individuals stuffing multiple absentee ballots into a ballot dropbox at night. Lawyers for the city of Bridgeport argued that it didn’t prove illegal voting took place. ● However, Connecticut Superior Court Judge William Clark disagreed. “The videos are shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties,” Clark wrote in his ruling Wednesday. The judge added that “to disregard the significant mishandling of ballots by partisans that were caught on video flouting the provisions of Connecticut law” would “endorse this blatant practice of ballot harvesting.”
