Former Facebook and Nike Diversity Manager Sentenced to Prison After Stealing $5 Million Meant for DEI Initiatives

 

by Cassandra MacDonald May. 18, 2024 9:40 pm290 Comments

A former Facebook and Nike “diversity manager” has been sentenced to prison after stealing $5 million earmarked for DEI initiatives.

Barbara Furlow-Smiles, 38, of Georgia, pleaded guilty to wire fraud in December for what the Justice Department called an “elaborate scheme involving fraudulent vendors, fictitious paperwork, and cash kickbacks.”

On Monday, Furlow-Smiles was sentenced to five years and three months in prison plus three years of supervised release. She has also been ordered to pay restitution of $4,981,783.58 to Facebook and $121,054.50 to Nike, for a total of $5,102,838.08.

“Furlow-Smiles shamelessly violated her position of trust as a DEI executive at Facebook to steal millions from the company utilizing a scheme involving fraudulent vendors, fake invoices, and cash kickbacks,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. “After being terminated from Facebook, she brazenly continued the fraud as a DEI leader at Nike, where she stole another six-figure sum from their diversity program. Her prison sentence reflects the consequences of her decision to orchestrate an intricate scheme to defraud two of her employers for personal profit.”

According to a press release from the Justice Department, “Furlow-Smiles served as Lead Strategist, Global Head of Employee Resource Groups and Diversity Engagement at Facebook, Inc., now known as Meta Platforms, Inc., doing business as Meta. From January 2017 to September 2021, she led Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs at Facebook and was responsible for developing and executing DEI initiatives, operations, and engagement programs. In her position, Furlow-Smiles had access to company credit cards. She also had the authority to submit purchase requisitions and approve invoices for authorized vendors of Facebook.”

“Furlow-Smiles used her position at Facebook to cheat and defraud the company. She caused Facebook to pay numerous individuals for goods and services that were never provided and then directed those individuals to kick back the fraudulent proceeds to her, often in cash. Her scheme operated in two ways,” the press release explained.

“First, Furlow-Smiles linked PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App accounts to her Facebook credit cards and used those accounts to pay friends, relatives, and other associates for goods and services that in truth were never provided to Facebook. To conceal the bogus charges, Furlow-Smiles submitted fraudulent expense reports, falsely claiming that her associates or their businesses had performed work on programs and events for Facebook, such as providing swag or marketing services, when in fact they had not done so.”

After receiving the money from Facebook, the individuals would return the majority of it to Furlow-Smiles.

“Second, Furlow-Smiles caused Facebook to onboard several vendors that were owned and operated by friends and associates who paid her kickbacks. Furlow-Smiles approved fraudulent invoices for these vendors. After Facebook paid the invoices, Furlow-Smiles directed the vendors to return a portion of the money they received to her.”

According to the DOJ, Furlow-Smiles stole over $4.9 million from Facebook and over $120,000 from Nike “based on fictitious charges and fraudulent invoices. She used the money to fund a luxury lifestyle in California, Georgia, and Oregon.”

 

The lady on the view called Islam a "cult".

Leftists Being Leftists: Far Left City Councilor of Youth, Children, and Family Forced to Step Down in Spain After He Was Caught Eating His Own Sh*t on Video

by Jim Hoft May. 16, 2024 7:30 am437 Comments

You just knew this was coming…

Far left councilor Daniel Gómez del Barrio stepped down from the Illescas city council after he posted photos and video of himself eating his own sh*t.

Daniel Gómez del Barrio is a member of the PSOE, the country’s main leftist party in Spain, whose leader is currently the Prime Minister.

Daniel was the councilor of Youth, Children, and Family on the city council.

The video of Daniel Gomez del Barrio eating sh*t was leaked online. The mayor fired him In April.

Daniel wanted described his desire to be a whore and used as a urinal.

The Publica reported:

A report from French news source FDS claimed that the politician was offering himself up for sexual use, and described himself as wanting to be “exposed, humiliated, degraded.” He also described his desire to “eat c*cks, be a whore, and be used as a urinal,” with El Diairo also claiming he referred to himself as a “sexual slave.”

According to ABC Spain, Gómez reported the leaking of the photographs and videos to the police, who began investigating the matter. He attended the February council meeting “with total normality,” where the leaks were only a “residual issue,” a source told ABC Spain. However, on March 22, more photographs of the councillor began to spread around the town during the traditional Palm Sunday celebrations, and “nothing else was talked about” by the residents of the small community.

Earlier this week a leftist Martin Neumaier, a candidate from the Free Democratic Party (FDP), a liberal party in Germany, was caught on video licking public urinals on video and singing the Nazi-era anthem while using an anal dildo.

 

 

 

Stop blaming police if your loved one gets injured in a police chase..... blame the person that caused the chase and refused to stop.

Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley: “I’m So Tired of White Men Failing Up” (VIDEO)

by Cristina Laila May. 15, 2024 2:45 pm202 Comments

Is she talking about Joe Biden?

Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley went on a racist rant against white men on the House floor on Wednesday.

The House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday held a hearing following a report that revealed widespread sexual misconduct and harassment at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg was in the hot seat on Wednesday as lawmakers grilled him on the toxic work environment at his agency.

Republican lawmakers called for Gruenberg to resign.

GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry blasted Gruenberg on Wednesday.

“You never have apologized in your written statements, in press reports…for your actions in this report. There is no apology for the people you have berated over the last 13 years at the agency or actually the last 20 years…Do you apologize to the people that you affected?” McHenry asked Gruenberg.

WATCH:

Squad member Ayanna Pressley went on a racist rant about white men as she ripped into Gruenberg.

“I am so tired of white men failing up. This lack of accountability is shameful, inadequate, and deeply unsatisfactory, and it is retraumatizing,” Ayanna Pressley said.

Imagine if a white congressman used the same racist statement against blacks.

WATCH:

 

Of course the debates are a trap... Come on everyone knows that.

9-Year-Old White Christian Child Savagely Beaten on Minnesota School Playground Because “She Wasn’t Muslim”

by Cristina Laila May. 13, 2024 1:40 pm348 Comments

A Minnesota mom told Alpha News that her 9-year-old daughter was savagely beaten on the playground because “she wasn’t Muslim.”

Shawna Larson said her 3 grader was savagely beaten by four other students at Hidden Valley Elementary on April 29 because of her “race and religion.”

The school principal approached Larson as she went to pick up her daughter from school and informed her about the attack.

“They came up to my vehicle and informed me that there was an incident at school that day. They wanted to make it very apparent that my daughter didn’t do anything to cause this, and they told me this was a calculated incident and that she had been attacked on the playground by four other students in her grade,” Larson told Alpha News’ Liz Collin.

“I ended up learning … this was due to her race and her religion because she wasn’t Muslim. So that was pretty jarring to hear,” the mother said.

According to school officials, the attack on Larson’s daughter was planned.

The child was covered in bruises and had a black eye after the Muslim students beat her.

“She told me she tried to get up and when she tried to get up and go for help the first time, and I believe it was the first time that they had gotten her on the ground, that she was trying to fight back and they had told her that if she hit them or she touched them, that they would hurt themselves and tell the teacher that she had hurt them. So, she just told me, ‘You know, so all I could do there is lay there, Mom,’” Larson said.

Larson said the school hasn’t taken any action against the four students who beat up her Christian daughter.

“My daughter hadn’t done anything to initiate this or create what had happened. This was just because of her race and her religion. So that was a big thing. Just the lack of action the school was taking, which I do understand to a point that the school has their own rules and their own laws that they have to follow. But the fact that because this was race and religion fueled, the fact that they were never suspended or expelled from school or redirected to distance learning instead of continuing to stay in the classroom, which two of them were in the same classroom as my daughter, is alarming, regardless of their age,” Larson said.

The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District remained defiant and told Alpha News that they “can’t share any private data about students, including specifics about student behavior or discipline.”

FREUDIAN SLIP: Dementia Joe Refers to Illegal Aliens as ‘Voters,’ Says Speaking Spanish is America’s ‘Future’

by Ben Kew May. 12, 2024 7:30 am21 Comments

Joe Biden has had another Freudian slip.

In an interview with a Spanish radio show, Biden described Hispanic illegal immigrants as “voters” before reverting back to the official script.

“It’s even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters, or Hispanic – Hispanic citizens, who want to become citizens,” Biden said.

He continued:

The Hispanic community is part of the future of America. Twenty-eight out of every 100 students in school speak Spanish, the idea that you’re gonna ignore that? That’s our future. One of the reasons that we’re growing so much is we have a significant influx of immigrants coming into our country, only reason our economy’s so good. We’re not a xenophobic nation. Other nations are, we’re not, that’s why our economy is the best in the world.

Fox News managed to draw comment from the White House, who repeated the lie that illegal aliens do not vote in federal elections.

“Only American citizens can vote in federal elections,” a White House spokesperson said. “As fact checkers across the board have made clear, it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections.”

As extensively reported by The Gateway Pundit, the presence and participation of foreign citizens on U.S. voter rolls is one of the main methods of Democratic voter fraud.

Democrats and left-wing activists are overwhelmingly in favor of giving a pathway to citizenship to illegal migrants in the hope that they will reward them with political loyalty.

This is broadly the case, although recent elections and polling data indicates that Hispanic voters, particularly those who entered the country legally, are increasingly moving towards the Republican Party.

Postal Worked Robbed By Gunpoint in California in Broad Daylight (Video)

by Margaret Flavin May. 12, 2024 8:30 am14 Comments

Image: Video Screenshot

On Monday, a 63-year-old female mail carrier was robbed at gunpoint by two thugs while delivering mail in Dublin, California.

Surveillance video of the incident shows the carrier, who has worked for the U.S. Postal Service for 33 years,  delivering mail in a quiet residential neighborhood around 4:30 p.m. when suddenly a masked man emerges behind her.

A second masked individual follows closely behind.

Suddenly, a masked man comes up behind the mail carrier, followed by a second person who is also masked and the two masked men pull a gun.

KTVC reports:

“Somebody came up behind me and ‘boom,’ just hit me ,and put a gun to my head,” said the female postal carrier who asked not to be identified.”He said, ‘Give me your keys. You don’t want to die, do you?’ I go no, no, no. So I reached in, got my keys, and he goes, ‘Where’s your phone? You got two minutes’.”

The worker went to the mail truck to get her phone and handed it to the armed robber while fearing the worst.

She said,”On my god, I’m going to die.”

But the two men ran away after taking the keys to mailboxes and the truck, along with her cell phone.

She went to a neighbor for help in calling 911.

The USPS  is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

Ohio State Graduates Suffer Through ‘The Worst Commencement Address in the History of Commencement Addresses’

by Mike Landry, The Western Journal May. 9, 2024 9:30 am135 Comments

Having been a university professor, I’ve been to a lot of commencement ceremonies.

With our campus in a poor, semi-rural area, it was especially moving to see students who were not only the first in their family to get a college degree, but the first to have even graduated from high school.

Sometimes it was boring, but it never got old. It was routine for me, but for some graduates and their families, it was an event of a lifetime.

Which makes what happened with the speaker at The Ohio State University’s recent spring commencement especially grievous.

You see, Chris Pan thought it was all about only him. Perhaps he hoped to promote himself as a professional speaker or guru.

Worse, Pan wrote his speech while high on the psychedelic drug ayahuasca, according to The Columbus Dispatch. He reportedly said he also sought help from ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence.

It showed.

Beginning the university’s commencement address, Pan — an OSU graduate and Harvard MBA who worked for PepsiCo and Facebook before launching a jewelry business — noted the usual things about hard work, late-night studying, achievement and such.

Completing this poll entitles you to our news updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

He led students in applauding the support of their families in their accomplishments.

I’ve heard all this before — many times. It’s standard commencement fare, but meaningful for those graduating and their loved ones.

But then the crowd at Ohio State — and the rest of us via X — heard things that were novel.

No, not novel. Bizarre. And completely inappropriate.

Pan called on the crowd to stand and join with him in a song, complete with prepared lyrics projected on a screen.

And hand motions. Lots of hand motions. And breathing exercises — got to have breathing exercises at graduation.

Having, he said, properly gotten everyone in the right state of mind, Pan then gave the old parable about blind men perceiving different aspects of an elephant (trunk as a snake, side as a wall, tail as rope).

No problem with that to make a point.

Then Pan said (and imagine the uproar if he did this in a Christian context) “My goal today is to share new perspectives that will lead you to financial, emotional and spiritual freedom.”

He then talked about money and government policies. In promoting Bitcoin, he called on university President Walter Carter to be his assistant, and did a magic trick, changing quarters into Bitcoin.

Ba-da-BOOM.

Pan explained his self-therapy on emotional health through singing, and talked of spiritual aspects of making one’s soul grow.

As music began to play, he led the crowd in a meditation session/TED talk about a person they might admire and how one can change one’s life.

He then told the crowd he would make a free bracelet from his company available to each of them “as an apology for listening to me talk about Bitcoin,”) the Dispatch reported.

Pan finally moved to what might be considered a traditional commencement speech, with admonitions on learning forgiveness, compassion, resilience and tolerance.

He hearkened back to the elephant parable to talk about how tolerance allows people to hold multiple perspectives, especially in gatherings among those of different cultures, and how inner peace results in world peace.

Usual commencement topics.

But then, back to the music (Pan drank from a coffee cup with the price tag still on it), more on breathing, and an encouragement to learn from others with different perspectives.

Overall, Pan provided some appropriate statements about perspective and harmony.

Despite Pan’s talents and creativity, there are some ways of presenting material that don’t fit at something like commencement. Especially if they come from being high and from using artificial intelligence.

Earlier versions of his speech posted online talked of the current conflict in the Middle East and called for him to remove his shirt. Thankfully, he did neither.

And perhaps Pan’s motive for his little production was contained in his statement that he would be willing to be your teaching assistant for life.

Followed, of course, by a slide of his contact information and website.

Meaning, it seems like Pan’s little show was really about him.

And of it, Kevin McMahon of Townhall posted on X: “The worst commencement address in the history of commencement addresses.”

“Scarf Lady” Dr. Deborah Birx Now Says Thousands of Americans Could Be Vaccine Injured by the COVID Shot (VIDEO)

by Jim Hᴏft May. 9, 2024 10:30 am3 Comments

Credit: News Nation

Dr. Deborah Birx, the former White House coronavirus response coordinator who destroyed the country along with Dr. Anthony Fauci, suggested that thousands of Americans could be suffering from vaccine-related injuries due to the experimental COVID-19 shots.

 

Cuomo opened the discussion with Birx by addressing AstraZeneca’s withdrawal of its COVID-19 vaccine from the U.S. market.

“Doc, AstraZeneca made a headline today, pulling the vaccine. They say it’s because the demand curve isn’t there anymore. Others suggest it’s due to the inferiority of their product. What’s your take?”

“They were very effective for what they were supposed to be used for, which was preventing severe disease and hospitalization or deaths. That’s what the vaccines were studied to do in this country, and that’s what they did,” Birx answered.

This is a blatant lie. The COVID-19 vaccines were initially presented to the public as a way to provide immunity and stop the spread of the virus. However, as vaccinated individuals continued to contract COVID-19, it became apparent that the vaccines weren’t producing immunity as expected.

In September 2021, almost a year after Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approval, the CDC altered its definition of vaccines and vaccination.

At the time the Covid-19 vaccines were developed and studied, the definition of vaccines was clear. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a vaccine was defined as “a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.” Vaccination was defined as “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.”

 

Rather than admit the Covid vaccine is not working as advertised, CDC took a page out of Orwell’s 1984 and opted for new spin language.

The new definition of a vaccine is “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”

Note the subtle but important change. Instead of “PRODUCING IMMUNITY” the new definition moves the goal posts and states that their pseudo vaccine “STIMULATES THE BODY’S IMMUNE RESPONSE.”

When Cuomo questioned whether there was reluctance to acknowledge vaccine injuries due to fear of damaging public trust, Birx responded, “That’s why we need all the people to come forward that have had reactions because I’m not sure all of them have been reported. Do I think it’s millions? No. Could it be thousands? Yes.”

“You and I both remember what happened during HIV. Hiv had a lot of misinformation, a lot of confusion, and it’s like we didn’t learn from that,” Birx added.

Dr. Birx seems to overlook the actions of her colleague, Dr. Anthony Fauci, during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.

At that time, Dr. Fauci made public claims that suggested children could contract AIDS through casual contact, a statement that significantly heightened public fear and stigma towards the gay community and those suffering from the disease. Moreover, Dr. Fauci has been accused of withholding effective treatments from AIDS patients as thousands died, focusing instead on the pursuit of a vaccine that never materialized.

Disgraced Ex-CNN Anchor Chris Cuomo Now Admits to Taking Ivermectin Daily — Refuses to Apologize for Shaming People Who Didn’t Take the Experimental Shot

by Jim Hᴏft May. 8, 2024 2:20 pm170 Comments

Credit: PBD/Youtube

In a recent episode of the PBD Podcast, hosted by Patrick Bet-David (PBD) along with co-hosts Adam Sosnick, Tom Ellsworth, and Vincent Oshana, former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo made admissions about his health regimen and stance on the COVID-19 vaccines.

The episode saw Cuomo confront his past criticisms of vaccine skeptics as he now embraces a treatment he once scorned.

During the discussion, Bet-David showed a resurfaced clip from 2021 in which Cuomo criticized Rep. Byron Donalds for his decision not to get vaccinated against COVID-19. In the clip, Cuomo chastised Donalds for allegedly neglecting public health responsibilities, stating:

“Everybody should know that about you, Byron Donalds. You are not telling people to get vaccinated. You are not pushing it. You are not saying it’s the right choice. You’re saying you’re not doing it, and your family is not doing it, and you’re leaving out of the equation that you can make other people sick as if that doesn’t matter. Okay?”

In response, Donalds defended his position, asserting that vaccination is a personal choice and he should not be berated for making that decision.

“If you want to be protected from these variants and the original strain, please go get vaccinated. What about protect other people? I promote you to do that,” Donalds emphasized. “But if there are Americans like myself who choose not to, please don’t berate me for doing that. That is a personal choice I have made with my own health care.”

“I did talk to a couple of doctors that I know about it. I told them. “I already had it, and I’m 42. What do you think?” They said, “Yeah, you’re fine. If that’s what you want to do, go ahead and do it.” They didn’t come and say, “No, you have to do it because of everybody else.” Because if other people want to be protected, they have access to vaccines. Go get the vaccine. I would never tell anybody not to get vaccinated. I do totally support it if that’s what somebody chooses to do,” Donalds added.

Despite Donalds’ rationale, Cuomo remained firm in his criticism, suggesting Donalds’ stance was “dumb as a proxy for being bold.”

Fast forward to the PBD Podcast interview, Cuomo reflected on how his views have evolved since then, admitting that he now regularly takes ivermectin. He acknowledged that the medical community had unfairly dismissed the drug.

“I am taking a… What do they call it? Like a regular dose, whatever. They’re trying to build up of ivermectin. Ivermectin was a boogie man early on in COVID.”

Cuomo went on to express frustration over the misinformation surrounding ivermectin and the failure to provide accurate information to the public. He criticized government officials for stifling open dialogue.

“We were given bad information about Ivermectin. The real question is, why? Everyone’s going to say, ‘Joe Rogan was right.’ But that’s not what matters. What matters is the entire clinical community knew that Ivermectin couldn’t hurt you. They knew it. I know they knew it. How do I know? Because now I’m doing nothing but talking to these clinicians who, at the time, were overwhelmed by COVID, and they weren’t saying anything. Not that they were hiding anything, but it’s cheap, it’s not owned by anybody, and it’s used as an anti-microbial, antiviral in all of these different ways. It has been for a long time.”

Ironically, Cuomo was one of those spreading misinformation about Ivermectin during the pandemic.

WATCH:

When confronted with his past criticism of those who refused the vaccine, Cuomo refused to apologize, insisting that he was only relaying the best practices provided by government officials at the time:

“Apology? Of course not. Byron Donalds comes on my show. I believe as a leader at that time, you had a duty to be thorough in what you were putting out there as opposed to just playing politics. This was never as simple as vaccine good, vaccine bad. Politics made it that.”

Flashback, here’s a video of Chris Cuomo calling millions of unvaccinated Americans the “biggest enemy in America.”

WATCH:

Chris Cuomo won’t even apologize for labeling unvaccinated Americans were “our biggest enemy in America” when he was 100% in the wrong.

It’s safe to say the things he’s saying now, so he’s saying them — and expecting plaudits for bravery.

Nope.pic.twitter.com/C0PohbsnuT

— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) May 8, 2024

His ego is way to big for him to apologize. Cuomo further defended his past positions, maintaining that the vaccine significantly reduced hospitalizations and serious COVID-19 cases.

“The data is overwhelming that when the vaccine entered our population, the people going into the hospital with very serious or eventually terminal cases was reduced,” he said. “Now, at what cost and why? We don’t know.”

Despite his admissions and evolving views, Cuomo remained resolute in not fully aligning with those who questioned the COVID-19 vaccine’s efficacy from the beginning. Instead, he placed the blame on government and political leaders for the misinformation and lack of transparency that has fueled public distrust.

“My concern is that the unknowns are now more dangerous than the knowns,” Cuomo noted, urging further investigation into adverse vaccine effects.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the disgraced former CNN anchor disclosed for the first time that he has been suffering from side effects he attributes to the COVID-19 vaccine.

While Cuomo did not specify the exact nature of his symptoms, he expressed concern about ongoing abnormalities in his health.
