What made this unprecedented wasnāt that the pope was on trial, although it was unprecedented.Ā
The remarkable thing was that Pope Formosa had died seven months earlier, and it was his exhumed corpse that was in the courtroom.

Learn how Dersh is continuing to peddle the lie that he was merely "of counsel" to Kari Lake and therefore shouldn't be held responsible for the fact that her complaint was a grab-bag of lies wrapped in more lies.
Epidemiologists and national security agencies warned for years about the potential for a deadly pandemic, but in the end global surveillance and warning systems were not enough to avert the COVID-19 disaster. InĀ The COVID-19 Intelligence Failure: Why Warning Was Not EnoughĀ (Georgetown UP, 2023), Erik J. Dahl demonstrates that understanding how intelligence warnings work--and how they fail--shows why the years of predictions were not enough.
In the first in-depth analysis of the topic, Dahl examines the roles that both traditional intelligence services and medical intelligence and surveillance systems play in providing advance warning against public health threats--and how these systems must be improved for the future. For intelligence to effectively mitigate threats, specific, tactical-level warnings must be collected and shared in real time with receptive decision makers who will take appropriate action. Dahl shows how a combination of late and insufficient warnings about COVID-19, the Trump administration's political aversion to scientific advice, and decentralized public health systems all exacerbated the pandemic in the United States. Dahl's analysis draws parallels to other warning failures that preceded major catastrophes from Pearl Harbor to 9/11, placing current events in context.
The COVID-19 Intelligence FailureĀ is a wake-up call for the United States and the international community to improve their national security, medical, and public health intelligence systems and capabilities.

The Biden administration is using a Department of Homeland Security anti-terrorism grant program to target Americans with conservative and Christian beliefs. It's a shocking discovery that came to light in recent weeks thanks to the Media Research Center.
The Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program provided $352,000 to the PREVENTS-OH initiative at the University of Dayton. Included in the grant application was a chart, "The Pyramid of Far-Right Radicalization," which links well-known conservative organizations to neo-Nazis.
Dan Schneider, vice president of the Media Research Center's Free Speech America, MRC Business, and the external affairs division, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain what his organization discovered.
"They held a conference even before grant funding was provided, where they specifically used this chart and additional charts to train people on how to subvert organizations like The Heritage Foundation," Schneider said. "And this sounds like such a conspiracy theory. It sounds crazy that this is happening, but it really is."

The Daily Signal's Ken McIntyre previously covered the MRC report, "Biden Adminās Grants to Left-Wing Projects Aim to āDestroyā Conservatives, Watchdog Says." https://dailysign.al/42bzgj4
