Big Tech Companies Helped Fund Far-Right Groups Pushing for Texas Abortion BanSeptember 9, 2021
Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast/Getty Corporate backlash to the Texas abortion ban has so far been narrow and targeted, but one notably quiet sector has plenty of room—and money—to work with: Big Tech.
A review of public disclosures from Facebook, Google, and Amazon shows the tech giants have for years funded some of the most influential conservative political organizations and dark money groups responsible for the war on abortion rights. Those groups include The Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute, the Committee for Justice, and the Republican Attorneys General Association.
When The Daily Beast asked this week whether these donations would continue, the companies—all of which have a strong presence in Texas—all ignored our questions.

You Don’t Know John MulaneySeptember 9, 2021
Sylvain Gaboury/Getty It’s funny that people were worried about John Mulaney’s sobriety after he appeared on Late Night last year, the comedian said upon his return to the NBC show Tuesday night. “I had been under the influence the day before—and the day after, I was probably under the influence,” he told Seth Meyers. “But on the show… at your insistence, I was more sober than not.”
After that old episode aired, the comedian remembers just how many people online seemed to think something was wrong with him. “And I was sitting at home going, ‘Indeed, something is.’”
There’s little mystery to why Mulaney would choose Meyers to conduct his first interview after seeking treatment for a relapse with alcohol and cocaine last fall. The two have worked together on a number of projects since their days on Saturday Night Live, and Meyers’ wholesome vibe in many ways mirrors the non-threatening persona that endeared Mulaney to so many in the first place. For nearly 20 minutes, the pair discussed the intervention Meyers and other 40-something-year-old comedians staged, Mulaney’s relationship with Olivia Munn (whom the comedian confirmed is pregnant), and what it’s been like to navigate the past year as a freshly sober person still learning to use their shaky “Bambi legs.”

Greg Abbott Takes the Lead in the GOP’s Race to the BottomSeptember 9, 2021
Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast / Photos Getty Now that Donald Trump has been banned from Twitter, reduced to crashing the occasional Mar-a-Lago wedding and delivering color commentary on stunt boxing matches along with the occasional Fox News hit, there are a host of thirsty governors and senators competing for attention—all of them happy to kill their constituents if that’s what it takes to be the new face of the zombie Republican party.
For a while, it looked like Florida’s Ron DeSantis, busy banning masking mandates and vaccine passports even as the Delta variant slams his state, was the future of cruel and crazy. Here was a governor willing to blow up the cruise ship industry his state counts on to appease his anti-vaxxer base and extract some liberal tears in the process. He’s been selling “Don’t Fauci my Florida” as the death count in the Sunshine state nears 350 people a day.
But it’s Texas’s Greg Abbott who’s pulled ahead of the likes of DeSantis and North Dakota’s Kristi Noem, who keeps cheering on mass spreader events in her state, in the race to the bottom.

When Your Favorite Songs Were Banned in the Wake of 9/11September 9, 2021
Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast / Photo Getty The 20th anniversary of the tragic events of Sept. 11 has coincided with the supposed end of America’s longest war and haphazard withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, raising fresh questions of how we got here in the first place.
In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, there was no clear guidebook on how to move forward. The entire country had just witnessed an unfathomable tragedy unfold as New York City’s Twin Towers fell to the ground.
The political machine quickly whirled into action, and with a freshly traumatized nation looking for healing and unity, was able to push through bills and acts that expanded government powers, including the Patriot Act and the Authorization for the Use of Military Force.

Biden Ended the War, But Guantanamo Bay Is Still OpenSeptember 9, 2021
John Moore/Getty Even though President Joe Biden has finally extracted the United States from the forever war in Afghanistan, another uncomfortable legacy remains: the dozens of detainees at Guantanamo Bay.
In the coming days, attorneys told The Daily Beast that they plan to file motions in court arguing that the U.S. can no longer back up its reasons for detaining certain inmates now that President Biden has declared the war is over.
“He is supposedly being detained as an enemy combatant based on the war in Afghanistan,” said Mark Denbeaux, an attorney for Zayn al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn, the first person the CIA tortured as part of its torture program. “Now that that war is over… detaining him as an enemy combatant is over.”

Billionaire Stakeholders Abandoned EU Stocks Ahead Of Today's 'Hawkish' ECB MeetingSeptember 9, 2021Billionaire Stakeholders Abandoned EU Stocks Ahead Of Today's 'Hawkish' ECB MeetingTyler Durden Thu, 09/09/2021 - 04:15
Today's much-anticipated ECB meeting has all eyes & ears ready with both hands and feet to 'sell, sell, sell' or 'buy, buy, buy' on the 'news' that Lagarde and her lackeys will shift to a more hawkish (well, less infinitely dovish) stance.
However, while mom-and-pop 'bagholder' may not be hanging on every word as they watch their investment portfolios soar to records, insiders' expectations that policy makers may begin paring back pandemic stimulus measures have prompted huge sales by stakeholders across European markets.
As EU stocks have rallied in recent weeks, stake sales (where a company selling its equity holding in a particular company to another company) have soared.
Specifically, shareholders have sold $7.7 billion worth of stakes in European companies over the past seven days, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Tuesday was particularly busy, with at least eight offerings in European companies led by a marquee $2.7 billion deal from EQT AB’s partners.
For a sense of the exuberance, Bloomberg reports that EQT’s stock was trading at nearly six times its initial public offering price set in September 2019, prompting the private equity firm’s partners to seek partial release of a lockup agreement a year early to unload billions of dollars in shares onto the market Tuesday night.
Managers are playing down the deluge of selling:
“See the recent deal spree more as regular profit taking as part of a strong run in markets, than a sign markets have topped,” said Shaunak Mazumder, a global equities fund manager at Legal & General Investment Management.
Semmingly able to see this insider sell-fest as bullish:
“It’s an attractive market to buy into for investors, as equity indexes continue to be strong,” said Stefan Weiner, head of equity capital markets for Northern Europe at JPMorgan Chase & Co.
But, notably this massive stake sale has occurred in the few days of September and August and September have seen stocks start to stumble from their seemingly unstoppable surge off March 2020 lows...
Of course, judging from the machinations among various Fed members over 'taper' timing anxiety, we suspect The ECB will be unable (more likely unwilling) to live up to the hawkish expectations that have set in and will offer the usual 'on this hand, on the other hand' double-speak to avoid any market turbulence (despite zee Germans anxiety over roaring inflation).

Sweden Announces It Will Remove Most Remaining COVID-19 RestrictionsSeptember 9, 2021Sweden Announces It Will Remove Most Remaining COVID-19 RestrictionsTyler Durden Thu, 09/09/2021 - 03:30
By Jack Phillips of Epoch Times
Sweden announced it will remove most of its remaining COVID-19 restrictions starting this month, according to a news release on Tuesday.
An announcement from the Swedish government said that restrictions on public venues such as restaurants, theaters, and stadiums will be removed on Sept. 29.
As most adults are vaccinated, Sweden has started to ease some restrictions during a summer lull in the pandemic. Deaths from COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, have remained low in the country in recent weeks.
Vaccine passports, which are being rolled out in several U.S. cities, France, Italy, Switzerland, Israel, and in other areas, might be mandated in the future for “major public gatherings,” according to the government. Exceptions will be made for children below the age of 16 and for individuals who should not be vaccinated for medical reasons.
“The proposal means that any participation restrictions that may be needed for public gatherings and public events with 15,000 or more participants should not apply if the system of vaccination certificates is used,” said the statement. “This means that the organizer shall not be obliged to limit the number of participants in premises and delimited areas or spaces that the organizer has at its disposal if there are restrictions regarding this.”
Recommendations on “working from home will be removed and a gradual return to the workplace can begin,” the government said. “Those who have symptoms should continue to stay at home and test themselves, and employers should then facilitate homework.”
A few days before, the government announced it would bar travelers from Israel, which has one of the highest COVID-19 vaccination rates in the world, from entering Sweden due to a surge in cases in the country. Sweden also banned the entry of citizens from the United States, Kosovo, Lebanon, Montenegro, and North Macedonia.
According to a news release from the Swedish government, the travel ban affecting Israel, the United States, and the other countries was implemented on Sept. 6.
The sharp increases in virus infections are the reason why Israel and the other countries were removed from the travel ban exemption, said Interior Minister Mikael Damberg.
Even though Israel is one of the most vaccinated countries against COVID-19, cases have persistently risen. The small nation’s seven-day average for COVID-19 infections on Monday was over 1,000 per one million people, which is double the rate of numbers seen in the United States and the United Kingdom, says Oxford University’s Our World in Data.
Last month, officials in Israel said that around 60 percent of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in a recent outbreak are fully vaccinated. The most commonly used vaccine in Israel is the two-shot one made by Pfizer-BioNTech, which uses mRNA technology

Turkey, Iran & Pakistan Rapidly Bolster Border Security To Halt Afghan Refugee WaveSeptember 9, 2021Turkey, Iran & Pakistan Rapidly Bolster Border Security To Halt Afghan Refugee WaveTyler Durden Thu, 09/09/2021 - 02:45
Regional countries near Afghanistan are busy bolstering their border security and sending troops to halt an expected explosion of Afghan refugees across their territories seeking to escape new Taliban rule.
Turkey, for example, is rapidly expanding its three meter high wall it began constructing in 2017 along its over 330-mile long border with Iran, including adding razor wires, ditches, and thermal cameras along with additional troop presence. This after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan assessed last month as US troops were on their way out of Kabul that Turkey is "facing an increasingly intensifying Afghan migration wave coming via Iran."
Border wall in Turkey, file image. Nikkei reports that by all indicators, regional governments are doing everything possible to keep the Afghan waves out: "Governments from Islamabad to Ankara and Tehran have bolstered border restrictions in anticipation of hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the new regime in Kabul," the report says.
Historically, fleeing Afghans' first stop en route to the West has been neighboring Iran, which shares a 570+ mile border with Afghanistan; however, the typically porous border was closed to all Afghans starting Aug.18 as it was clear the security situation inside the war-torn country was unraveling amid the US exit. Further some Iranian newspapers have reported that Iranian authorities are actively sending Afghans back to their country.
And further, "Pakistan's army claims to have sealed all irregular crossings from Afghanistan, though domestic media have reported increased human trafficking across the border," Nikkei writes. "Reluctance or refusal to allow in large numbers of refugees is widespread. In some cases -- Turkey again a prime example -- allowing such an inflow can create a serious domestic political backlash."
Turkey is expected to feel the shock first of the beginning refugee wave coming out of Afghanistan, given it's already long been for years a jumping-off point for Afghans making the arduous trip to Europe. The past decade alone has seen some 600,000 Afghans settle in Turkey - all the while a mass wave of Syrian refugees exited there as well, many which are still along Turkey's southern border (over 3 million).
Via Nikkei Nikkei also documents some offers from other regional countries to accept a meager number of refugees, unlikely to blunt the problem given the millions that are looking to get out:
Some countries in the region with interests in Afghanistan have offered limited, and short-term, help. The United Arab Emirates has agreed to temporarily host 5,000 evacuated nationals who will go to third countries, following a request from the U.S. The UAE, along with Qatar and Saudi Arabia, have called for peace and political stability in Afghanistan.
Another country that's been involved in rebuilding Afghanistan over the past two decades is India, which hosts more than 15,000 Afghan refugees from long ago. As of March 2021, a total of 41,315 refugees and asylum-seekers were registered with the UNHCR India, with Afghans making up the second-largest subgroup, at 37%, behind those from Myanmar, at 54%.
All of this serves to highlight that the current climate of proclamations of international sympathy and support for the plight of Afghans is not resulting in any level of changed policies at borders on the ground, but is just stopping at mere rhetoric.
