Virginia Mandates Slavery Lessons for Kindergarteners

Parents, educators take issue with new curriculum

Virginia kindergarten students will learn about institutional racism alongside the alphabet, according to a new curriculum created for the upcoming school year.

Loudoun County is adding "social justice" to the mission of teaching elementary school students reading, writing, and arithmetic. The Washington, D.C., suburb—the richest county in the country—has teamed up with the Southern Poverty Law Center's (SPLC) education arm Teaching Tolerance to develop its new curriculum. The proposed lesson plan will restructure history and social studies classes to emphasize slavery as fundamental to American society for students from kindergarten to the fifth grade.

"Sugarcoating or ignoring slavery until later grades makes students more upset by or even resistant to true stories about American history," the curriculum reads. "Long before we teach algebra, we teach its component parts. We should structure history instruction the same way."

Not every Loudoun County educator is on board with the administration's direction. A longtime elementary school teacher, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, said that the school system had always taught students about the reality of slavery—lessons that typically begin in the fourth grade. She said the administrative focus to push racial politics on students who do not yet know how to read is motivated by politics, rather than education.

"I teach lower grades in elementary school.… [Never before] did I have to teach about slavery," the teacher said. "Our standards were always [to] teach about famous Americans, George Washington, Martin Luther King Jr., people like that. But, it was all very general and the bigger picture, we highlighted their accomplishments."

The new Teaching Tolerance kindergarten curriculum requires teachers to explain social justice theories to five-year-olds. The Loudoun County elementary school teacher believes this curriculum will prove divisive for children who lack the maturity to deal with the subject.

"What they're really trying to do is divide people as early as they can, starting now with kindergarteners. They're really going to be inciting hate," the teacher said. "They're pointing out that there's ‘whiteness' and ‘blackness' and that's crazy. We never taught about that in school…. We learn about how to get along with one another and be kind and respect others. But now, with this new curriculum that they're adding, it's going to do the total opposite."

The curriculum was first introduced by the Virginia Department of Education's superintendent. When asked how the SPLC guidelines were funded and whether the guidelines were mandatory across the state, the state's education department deflected.

TikTok Hires Internet Police to Monitor American Users, Ex-Censor Says

Liu Lipeng, who worked as an online censor in China for a decade, said he was passed over for the job in 2018 after suggesting in the interview that TikTok shouldn’t overly censor content because Americans value freedom of speech.

He described TikTok’s parent company ByteDance Technology Co., the Beijing-based digital giant with a reported valuation of $100 billion as of May, as “the largest and most terrifying censorship machine” he has ever seen.

The former censor’s claims coincide with rising public concerns over TikTok’s ties with the Chinese regime, and comes as the Trump administration considers banning the app over national security risks. U.S. officials and experts have sounded the alarm that the app could be used to spy on and censor American users. The company has denied these claims.

Facebook Boycott: Disney Latest To Pull Ads In Backlash Against Platform’s Hate Speech Policies

Disney has become the latest company, and one of the largest, to cut its advertising spending on Facebook as part of the growing boycott against the social media platform. Numerous major companies – like Starbucks, Adidas, and Unilever – have pulled advertising dollars from the site due to its poor handling of hate speech and other controversial materials.

It is unclear when and for how long this advertising cut from Disney will go into effect. Ads from Disney subsidiaries like ABC and Freeform have already disappeared from the social network.

The move by Disney was first reported Saturday by the Wall Street Journal. Disney has not made any public comment on their plans.

Prior to this, the media giant had bought a significant amount of advertising on the platform for its new streaming service, Disney+. The Journal reports that Disney was in fact the biggest advertiser on Facebook in the first half of 2020, with around $210 million spent. In 2019, it was the second-biggest advertiser behind Home Depot.

“We know we have more work to do, and we’ll continue to work with civil rights groups … and other experts to develop even more tools, technology and policies to continue this fight,” Facebook said in a statement on the boycott.

Despite this claim from the company, organizers of the boycott have said that there is “no commitment to action” after they met with CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

The movement took shape earlier in July, organized by groups like the NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League. These civil rights activist groups have criticized Facebook’s continued inability to efficiently fight bigoted content and intentional misinformation.

White House Looking to Block Funding for CDC, Testing in New Aid Bill

Staff at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have not been good soldiers in Donald Trump’s war on the coronavirus and the president now apparently wants to deny them more funding in the new coronavirus relief bill because they aren’t playing ball.

The president believes there’s plenty of money still left from the $2 trillion relief bill he signed in March. But the administration is looking to deny the CDC any increases for testing and contact tracing, leading some GOP aides in the Senate to despair.

The CDC continues to treat the coronavirus as a public health issue. It is not. It’s a political issue and not being sensitive to that singular fact is apparently going to cost the agency.

KTLA:

Some Senate Republicans are pushing for more money for Covid-19 contact tracing and testing, but the White House argues that there is sufficient funding still remaining from the March stimulus law, the source said.

The specifics of the bill are expected to be unveiled next week, so any discussions at this point are just preliminary — and the amount of funding to propose is a moving target even among GOP members, according to a GOP source. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has kept details of the bill closely held so far.

“You would have to try hard to come up with a more tone deaf position,” one GOP aide said, noting that in recent days, the hope had been that the Trump administration would take coronavirus more seriously in an effort to make it clear to the public and voters that they were managing the crisis.

It’s no secret that the president doesn’t like all this coronavirus testing. It’s showing that too many people are becoming infected. Contact tracing would help in local efforts to control an outbreak of the virus in a specific location. With adequate contact tracing, you wouldn’t have to shut down an entire state to slow the spread of the virus.

A positive test result for the coronavirus — if detected early enough — would keep the secondary infections down to a minimum as those infected would look to quarantine themselves. This means that there should be a lot more testing going on if we’re going to meaningfully slow the spread of the disease.

It just doesn’t make sense not to raise the level of spending for testing and contact tracing as we look to climb out of the hole we’re in.

Even if there is money left over from the last stimulus bill, much more is needed. As for funding the CDC, unless the administration wants to take responsibility for testing and contact tracing away from the agency and give it to some other agency, the CDC is the only game in town.

As for the bill itself, the two sides are already far apart.

The Hill:

While House Democrats passed a relief package at the end of May, McConnell has made it clear that the bill would go nowhere in the Republican-controlled Senate.

It doesn’t appear that the House Democrats and Senate Republicans are anywhere close to having an agreed upon package, and any friction between GOP senators and the White House would only widen the quagmire.

The amounts we’re talking about are minimal in a trillion-dollar aid package. But they could make the difference between victory and defeat for Trump who must show progress in ending the crisis as soon as possible.

How COVID-19 fatality reports are distorting the data on daily death rates

Health departments publish two fatality figures; the media pick the more frightening one.

Seven months into the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, state governments and media outlets continue to publicize confusing, misleading data on the spread of the disease here, perpetuating fears that deaths from the virus are skyrocketing on a daily basis even as those fatalities are generally distributed across a period of days, weeks or even months.

At issue is how state health departments publicize daily reports of fatalities within the state's borders. State health officials have for months been publishing two sets of mortality statistics: deaths that occurred on the publication date in question, and deaths that have only recently been catalogued from state backlogs.

The Arizona Department of Health Services publishes both of those figures on its coronavirus dashboard: On its "Summary" page, it lists the "number of new deaths reported today," while on its "Covid-19 Deaths" tab, the state lists the actual "deaths by date of death."

The distinction is a critical one: The state's "new deaths" every day do not actually reflect the number of coronavirus fatalities Arizona has logged in the past 24 hours, but rather the number of COVID-19 deaths it has identified from both new and older death certificates.

Health department spokeswoman Holly Poynter confirmed to Just the News on Friday that the state's "new deaths" figure is not drawn exclusively from the most recent 24-hour period of fatalities.

"While we had 91 new deaths reported today, the graph [on the dashboard] shows them by the actual date of death," she said on Friday. "Although those 91 were reported today, it doesn't mean today was the date of death. Those deaths may have occurred at any time on the graph but were simply reported today."

She added that the state's graph "gets updated every day with the new deaths by actual date of death." Poynter did not respond when asked if there was a way to see the date distribution from each day's new report of deaths.

The daily new death report often generates misleading sensationalist reports throughout the media. On July 7, for instance, the state recorded 117 "new deaths" on its dashboard. Calling that number a "record," CNN reported that Arizona that day reported "117 deaths from Covid-19 over the last 24 hours." Business Insider reported that Arizona recorded "its highest number of newly reported coronavirus deaths" on that day. News Break said the state on that date "recorded its highest single-day death toll."

TikTok Relocating? Company In Talks For London HQ To Try And Distance Itself From Chinese Ownership

TikTok, the video-sharing app massively popular amongst young audiences, has reportedly been in talks to brings its headquarters to London. A source close to the situation told Reuters that TikTok has been holding talks with the British government in an attempt to distance itself from its Chinese owners. The move could potentially bring around 3,000 new jobs to the U.K.

Several locations are reportedly on the table for TikTok, but these other options are unknown, and the company has yet to make a final decision.

Reuters notes in its report that the company has recently been hiring extensively in California, suggesting a potential U.S. move. This option might make sense given TikTok's recent CEO hiring of Kevin Mayer, a former executive for Disney.

The source claims that discussions are ongoing despite a Sunday Times report that talks were broken off due to current conflicts between the U.K. and Chinese businesses. The British government recently moved to ban Huawei, a popular Chinese telecommunications company, from doing business in the U.K. and forced it to begin removing its technology from the country’s 5G network.

TikTok has come under heavy scrutiny in recent years due to concerns that the Chinese government may be collecting data from its users, posing a considerable security risk. While this is unconfirmed, the company has at certain points been caught deleting or censoring content critical of China and its government.

In response to these concerns, President Trump has considered imposing a ban on the platform. India banned it in June, and several government offices and private businesses have banned employees from downloading the app on the work or personal smartphones due to the privacy risk.

First released by ByteDance in 2016, TikTok has become among the most popular apps in the world, with an install base of around 800 million and availability in 75 languages. The app is noted for its considerable popularity with teenagers.

Antifa Rioters Break Into Portland Police Union and Set It on Fire as Mayor Hamstrings Federal Troops

On Saturday evening, two groups of antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters terrorized Portland, squaring off against police and federal troops. One group attacked the Portland Police Bureau’s North Precinct and the Portland Police Association (PPA) — the police union — while the other group targeted the federal courthouse and Justice Center, returning to set yet another bonfire at the ruins of the elk statue nearby. Antifa broke into the PPA and set it on fire. Before the violence began on this 51st day of unrest in Portland, Mayor Ted Wheeler (D-Portland) decided to hamstring federal troops, aiming to prevent local law enforcement from teaming up with them.

According to a police report, an angry crowd first marched to the Portland Police North Precinct at around 8:35 p.m., blocking the streets as they went. “Some people tampered with gates, broke patrol vehicle windows, and vandalized patrol vehicles. People taunted officers as they arrived to work,” the police reported. The crowd blocked streets around the precinct.

At around 9:27 p.m., the police directed people to leave to the west. The crowd walked to the PPA offices, arriving at about 10:31 p.m. The antifa rioters broke into the front doors while others blocked a nearby street with dumpsters that they lit on fire. “Many in the crowd wore helmets and carried clubs and shields.”

At about 10:45 p.m., antifa rioters broke into the PPA office and ignited a fire inside. When the police arrived, many of the rioters began to flee to the east. Portland Police declared a riot and urged the crowd to move east. As the crowd dispersed, police arrested several rioters and extinguished the fire.

The northern group of rioters had not finished their violence for the evening, however. Antifa regrouped and the police arrived to attempt to restore order. As police arrived, rioters threw rocks and launched paint-filled balloons at officers. According to the police report, the antifa rioters also shot gopher gassers at police — toxic gases designed to kill gophers and ground squirrels. This onslaught injured some police officers.

Finally, at around 11:30 p.m., officers broke up the crowd into small groups, and order was restored.

Meanwhile, another group of antifa rioters targeted the Justice Center and the federal courthouse. They tore down fences around Chapman Square Park and Lownsdale Square Park — where antifa had temporarily set up an “autonomous zone” last week. Police broke up that encampment and closed down the parks for repair.

Rioters also removed fencing around the federal courthouse and used to to barricade the doors. Others used fencing to block the doors of the Justice Center.

Chinese Ambassador Struggles To Explain Shocking Footage Of Handcuffed & Blindfolded Uighurs Loaded Onto Train

During a Sunday morning BBC news program, China’s ambassador to the UK Liu Xiaoming was in a rare segment asked point blank about viral footage which purports to show a terrifying scene from Xinjiang province of Muslim minority Uighurs being handcuffed and loaded onto train cars.

While the footage, which appears to have been secretly caught via drone, appears to be a year old or more, it resurfaced in recent weeks, gaining millions of views and reigniting allegations of Uighur people being mass shipped to communist 'reeducation' camps and sprawling detention centers.

During the tenses Andrew Marr Show segment, Liu described Xinjiang simply as “the most beautiful place.”

Showing the shocking footage which many observers said echoes Jews being mass loaded onto cattle cars during the Holocaust to be taken to their deaths, Marr pressed the Chinese ambassador with:

“Can I ask you why people are kneeling, blindfolded and shaven, and being led to trains in modern China? What is going on there?”

To which Liu replied: “I do not know where you get this video tape. Sometimes you have a transfer of prisoners, in any country.” And Liu then questioned the authenticity and location of the video: “I do not know, where did you get this video clip?”

Marr then said Western intelligence agencies and Australian experts have backed or 'verified' the clip, though this remains uncertain, to which the ambassador said tersely:

“The so-called ‘western intelligence’ keep making false accusations against China.”

He added: “They say ’one million Uighur has been persecuted, do you know how many population Xinjiang has? Forty years ago it was four or five million, now it is 11m people.”

FBI Secretly Using Major Global Travel Company as Worldwide Surveillance Tool

Sabre holds vast amounts of data on an incalculable number of individuals, and this trove could so easily be abused, particularly given the FBI has reportedly frequently used the controversial All Writs Act, to force private companies, such as Apple, to hand over private information.

It’s been revealed the US Federal Bureau of Investigation has been using information collected and stored by Sabre, the world’s largest travel data holder, to conduct widespread and extensive surveillance the world over, with company staff instructed by Bureau agents to “actively spy” on targets, even while they’re in the midst of travelling.

Forbes reports that in December 2019, the FBI asked Sabre for “real time” weekly surveillance of Indian fugitive Deepanshu Kher for a period of six months, providing agents with “travel orders, transactions or reservations” for Kher, who was eventually caught in January this year and placed under house arrest.

The order is reportedly one of at least four where Sabre agreed to provide such traveller information. In 2015, the FBI was hunting Aleksei Yurievich Burkov, whom investigators suspected was running Cardplanet, a US$20 million online marketplace for buying and selling stolen credit card data. Burkov was eventually extradited from Israel in November 2019 and pleaded guilty to charges of fraud, identity theft, computer intrusion, wire fraud and money laundering in January.

Sabre originally made headlines after it helped US authorities retrace the paths of the 9/11 hijackers after their attack. However, its ongoing relationship with security services, and willingness to watch suspects and known criminals upon request, without the knowledge or consent of the individual(s) in question, were hitherto unknown – and raise significant privacy concerns.

This to His List of Mistakes– Dr. Fauci Praises New York’s Response to COVID-19 — THE WORST IN THE WORLD!

It’s hard to believe but America’s top Infectious Disease Doctor Anthony Fauci has been wrong on the coronavirus pandemic — Almost every step of the way!

The Gateway Pundit previously reported a list of 15 errors, contradictory statements and dangerous gaffes by NIAID Director Dr. Tony Fauci.

On Friday Dr. Fauci praised New York state’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Via FOX News:

Many parts of the United States didn’t do enough to combat the coronavirus — but New York state did, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday.

“We’ve got to do the things that are very clear that we need to do to turn this around,” Fauci told PBS NewsHour. “Remember, we can do it. We know that when you do it properly, you bring down those cases. We’ve done it. We’ve done it in New York.”

“New York got hit worse than any place in the world. And they did it correctly by doing the things that you’re talking about,” added Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — and a member of the White House coronavirus task force.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier New York state and Governor Cuomo had THE WORST Coronavirus death ratio in the world — higher than any state (except New Jersey) and higher than ANY COUNTRY!

The mortality rate in New York is significantly higher than any country in the world.

According to the Worldometer:

New York State has 1,668 deaths per one million residents.

New Rocket Attack Targeted U.S. Embassy In Iraq’s Baghdad

On July 19, a new rocket attack targeted the U.S. embassy in the Iraqi capital, Bagdad, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

A source in the Iraqi Interior Ministry told the Chinese agency that three “Katyusha” rockets landed near the embassy, in Bagdad’s Green Zone, a fortified area that hosts government buildings and foreign missions.

“There were no immediate reports on casualties,” Xinhua quoted the source as saying.

In the last few months, a series of attacks targeted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Baghdad and American troops in a number of Iraqi bases.

Recently, the U.S. military deployed a C-RAM [Counter-rocket, artillery and mortar] system to protect the Green Zone. It remains unclear if the system was able to intercept any of the rockets which targeted the U.S. embassy today.

Newly formed Iraqi Shiite armed group, such as Usbat al-Tha’ireen, threatened to target the U.S. embassy in Baghdadi on several occasions. One of these groups could be responsible for the new attack.

The U.S. military usually responds to any attack that result in casualties. Today’s attack didn’t result in any losses, thus no escalation is expected.

Turkey’s Poisonous Hand Of Friendship

While the situation in Libya continues to escalate and the parties are preparing for a decisive battle for Sirte, Turkey, which actively supports forces of the Government of National Accord (GNA), is negotiating with its strategic partners. On July 10, National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar went on an official visit to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. During the visit, Akar checked the work of the diplomatic mission, had dinner with representatives of national minorities, namely Crimean Tatars and Meskhetian Turks, with Ukrainian businessmen and the head of the Special Monitoring Mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Taking into account the high tension of the situation in Libya, the defense minister’s dinner in Kiev was of great importance for the Turkish side.

According to Ukrainian Minister of Defense Andrei Taran, during the talks with Akar, they discussed ways to deepen cooperation in the defense sphere.

“The cooperation of defense companies of Ukraine and Turkey is of particular. The reached agreements will strengthen the defense potential of Ukraine. The potential and maneuverability of the Ukrainian army will significantly increase, what will contribute to the protection of peace in the region,” Taran said.

It cannot be excluded that one of the goals of the visit was to demonstrate to Kiev that Turkey favors provocative actions against Russia. Instability in the East of Ukraine or new provocations in Crimea are in Turkey’s interest at the moment. They allow to weak Russia’s position in the negotiation process on Libya at the very moment when GNA fores, supported by Turkey, are actively preparing for military action on the territory of their country.

In recent days, Kiev has become noticeably more active and has been pursuing a policy of discrediting Russia in all possible directions.

In the East of Ukraine the most recent incident happened on July 14 when 2 Ukrainian fighters died and another one received injures in a failed attempt to enter the territory controlled by self-defense forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic near the village of Zaitsevo. The sabotage and reconnaissance unit tried to attack positions of DPR forces but blew up on landmines in the area.

The Ukrainian side announced that one of the dead soldiers was a military medic, Mikola Ilin, who turned out to be a citizen of Estonia. His death was captured on video.

Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Dmitry Kuleba, called the murder of a medic an act of barbarism.

“I want to make it very clear that from a legal point of view, this murder has signs of a war crime, and from a moral point of view, it is nothing else but an act of barbarism,” Kuleba said.

He stressed that the diplomats will try to make the incident public.

“I will personally raise this issue. The response will be as tough as possible. We will attract all our partners. This situation will be made public,” the foreign minister said.

The death of Ilin led to the desired result, which was required by the Ukrainian authorities. The case was widely publicized. The accusations were immediately joined by the US Embassy, which previously rarely commented on the deaths of Ukrainian soldiers in the Donbass.

The European Union called the murder of a military medic a violation of the Minsk agreements, the agreements of the Normandy summit and international law.

Member of European Parliament, Michael Galer, blamed the Kremlin for the incident in eastern Ukraine on Twitter.

Where Do We Draw the Line? At Wearing Masks or Taking Vaccines?

You don't have to be a rocket scientist

to see that we are headed to

a Chinese Communist-style

social credit system based

on receiving a COVID vaccination.

We need to reject the mask now.

This is a test. If we accept masks, they'll

know we will accept mandatory vaccines.

We need to start organizations in every state and province to offer moral, legal and financial support to courageous people willing to say, "the emperor has no clothes." This is for real folks. It's happening and it won't go away unless we act.

A friend in Ottawa tells me that gas stations are fined if a customer drives up to the pump not wearing a mask.

That's right, both the customer and the gas station receive a fine, the latter presumably for serving someone without a mask. This is the future folks, except it is happening now: No participation in society without compliance.

It's time to stop this creeping Communism by defying the bullshit mask law en masse.

The relief cheques and bailouts, the promise of recovery are all designed to stifle dissent. The bottom line is that this nonsense is the new normal and the sooner we resist it, the better.

Bill Gates:

"Eventually, what we'll have to have is certificates of who's a recovered person, who's a vaccinated person, because you don't want people moving around the world, where you have some countries that won't have a control sadly."

What kind of "certificates"?

What he actually has in mind may be revealed in a report of this past December that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was funding research at MIT in the development of a "Tattoo ID", to be injected with vaccinations and available for anonymous detection. In time, the failure to have the appropriate identifying tattoo for any given year, and for any given virus officially declared dangerous, would most certainly be used to control individual freedom of movement. This should trigger every thinking person's attention, particularly as it is reported that Gates refused to have his own children vaccinated.

Schiff: After Trump Is Gone We Will Continue to Investigate and ‘Expose What He Did’

Saturday, during an interview with Jon Lovett on “Crooked Media,” House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said investigations into President Donald Trump would continue after he leaves office.

Schiff said, “After the election, after he’s gone, then I think we have to continue to expose what he did in office because, of course, the administration has stonewalled us in every way it can. They have stonewalled every subpoena, every request for information. There is a lot more evidence of the president’s wrongdoing that is being withheld and will be withheld as long as he is in office.”

On the court battles over Congress’ subpoenas of Trump’s financial records, Schiff said, We are going to pursue them now. They may well be able to stonewall them up and through the fall. Frankly, for me, the issue is less about getting the records before November, it’s about getting them while the country is at risk. We don’t know why this president is so beholden to Vladimir Putin. Is it just his affinity for dictators? Is it just his administration for Putin? Is it his insecurity? Or is it his financial interests in Russia or with Russian oligarchs? This is why the withholding of these financial records id dangerous because we don’t know if this president is compromised.”

He added, “So we are going to persist with that litigation. We hope that we get it this year. If we don’t, we will continue until we do.”

Portland Mayor Wheeler: Feds Scooping Protesters Off the Street ‘Completely Unconstitutional’

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler (D) called accusations federal police to remove protesters in his city “completely unconstitutional.”

Wheeler said, “The president has a complete misunderstanding of cause and effect. What’s happening here is we have dozens if not hundreds of federal troops descending upon our city. What they’re doing is they are sharply escalating the situation. Their presence here is actually leading to more violence and more vandalism. And it’s not helping the situation at all. They’re not wanted here. We haven’t asked them here. In fact, we want them to leave.”

Host Jake Tapper asked, “The ACLU filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration Friday night as did your state attorney general. She accused federal agents of a, quote, ‘escalation of fear in violence.’ Do you think the Trump administration is breaking the law in your city?”

Wheeler said, “I absolutely do. The tactics that the Trump administration is using on the streets of Portland are abhorrent. People are being literally scooped off the street into unmarked vans, rental cars, apparently. They are being denied probable cause. And they are denied due process. They don’t even know who’s pulling them into the vans. The people aren’t identifying themselves. And as far as I can see, this is completely unconstitutional.”

Bette Midler Declares ‘Donald Trump Is a Murderer’

Director Rob Reiner says President Donald Trump “is Murder Americans.” Pop icon Cher says the president “kills Americans without thought.” You can add leftist actress Bette Midler to the growing list of leftist Hollywood luminaries calling the president a cold blooded killer.

” #DonaldJTrump is a murderer. Stupid, callous uncaring; all in all the biggest catastrophe to ever befall our poor nation. I can’t stop crying,” Bette Midler said on Twitter over the weekend.

Midler’s screed links to a 4,600-word, five-person byline New York Times hit piece titled “Inside Trump’s Failure: The Rush to Abandon Leadership Role on the Virus.” The nearly 5,000-word Times article mentions New York Governor Andrew Cuomo once and New Jersey once, even though those two states’ roughly 47,000 COVID-19 deaths account for about a third of the 142,000 coronavirus deaths in the United States.

In New York, according to the New York Post: “DOH figures on Tuesday showed 6,312 nursing-home deaths, slightly more than 25 percent of the state’s total 24,994 coronavirus fatalities.” Gov. Cuomo has been under fire for issuing an order in March requiring all nursing homes to accept residents who tested positive for COVID-19. The move is widely considered the cause of thousands of patient and staff deaths at nursing home and longterm care fatalities across the state.

In New Jersey, NJ.com reports: “About 43% of New Jersey’s COVID-19 deaths have been either residents or staff members of nursing homes and other long-term care centers. There have been 6,815 confirmed deaths at those facilities.”

Rob Reiner, Cher, Bette Midler and the rest of the Hollywood left have been conspicuously silent about how two Democratic-run states’ handling of coronavirus pandemic has resulted in deaths that account for a third of the countries coronavirus fatalities.

The Call for “Social Distancing” Pursues Hidden Goals

Citizens worldwide are still being urged to avoid direct contact with other people in order to protect themselves from infection with the corona virus, even though this virus does not pose any particular danger and “social distancing” has not been proven to be an effective protection. The relationship with the conspecifics is as important for us humans as the air we breathe. The restriction of social contacts is therefore an attack on human nature and leads to serious consequential damage for young and old: feelings of loneliness, depression, addictive behavior, stress, hopelessness and suicidal thoughts increase dramatically. In older people, serious physical illnesses are added as a result of lack of family contact and lack of exercise. Their premature demise is not collateral damage for the global elite, but is intended. We also have to worry about the youth.

As an educational scientist and psychologist, I have long been pointing out to parents and educators that a large part of the young generation, despite countless virtual contacts with peers, is isolated and lives in its own “Facebook world”. Renowned brain researchers and psychiatrists are also sounding the alarm. Since the adult generation often does not seek or have access to this world of their children, many of them are left to themselves and no longer in exchange with their parents and the adult world. They prefer to hang on the drip of the Internet giants and internalize their view of man and the world.

More and more parents are complaining that they have difficulties in getting into a relationship with their children, that they don’t let their children tell them anything and even turn away from them. Enlightened psychologists and educators know that this development has been consciously driven forward by interested parties for years. For the isolated human being, isolated from his conspecifics, whose family and communal roots have been cut off, is for global rat catchers and their governments an easy prey. It can be better controlled, manipulated and instrumentalized for violent excesses and wars.

In difficult times like the present, the lonely and isolated young person lacks the maintaining family and friendship ties and thus loses courage and orientation. The new virtual “friends” and companions are also followers or even part of the global rat catchers. This development has followed a hidden agenda for decades. All parents, educators and those interested in the common good must know this.

Recently, French bestselling author Michel Houellebecq also commented on this topic: He does not believe in a better world after Corona. On the contrary, he sees a tendency to accelerate isolation and alienation. In a letter to the radio station “France Inter” he writes:

“We will not wake up in a new world after the containment; it will be the same, only a little worse… (…) For some years now, all technological developments, whether small (video on demand, contactless payment) or large (teleworking, internet shopping, social networks), have resulted in the reduction of material and especially human contacts (as the main objective?).(1)

He believes that the pandemic is a great pretext for this serious trend.

Trump says he’d get ‘50 YEARS FOR TREASON’ for what Obama & Biden did as he launches full-on attack on his rival

US President Donald Trump has unleashed a fresh offensive on Joe Biden, suggesting his presidential rival should be punished for “spying” and “treason,” and needs to be subjected to a cognitive ability exam.

Trump went on the warpath on Sunday, with Joe Biden the target of his rage. In a scathing tweet, he accused Biden of being “totally controlled” by the “radical left,” referring to the leaders of Portland, where Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters have battered and burned the city’s Justice Center for more than 50 days.

Trump then resurrected a long-standing gripe with the Barack Obama administration, which was in power when the FBI launched a surveillance operation on his presidential campaign in 2016. Recently declassified documents revealed that this operation involved a number of White House officials, among them then-Vice President Joe Biden.

“So we catch Obama & Biden, not to even mention the rest of their crew, SPYING on my campaign, AND NOTHING HAPPENS?” Trump tweeted. “I hope not! If it were the other way around, 50 years for treason. NEVER FORGET!!!!”

Cop Arrested for Robbing Over a Dozen People — Dept Knew About It, Let Him Keep Job

Philadelphia, PA — An officer with the Philadelphia Police Department was accused of robbing and assaulting a group of 15 people nearly three years ago and he was not fired until this month. The department did not move to fire him until he was formally charged, even though police were informed of the incident shortly after it happened — over three years ago.

On December 17th, 2017, 40-year-old Philadelphia police officer Officer Luis Miranda and two of his relatives robbed a group of people who had gathered outside of a local business to gamble.

After robbing the 15 individuals outside, Miranda and the other men robbed the business that the group was standing in front of.

Miranda was charged with robbery, conspiracy, aggravated assault, and terroristic threats, according to the District Attorney’s Office. He also faces other charges that are entirely unrelated to the robbery, including using police resources for criminal purposes and two drug offenses.

Miranda’s two accomplices, Gregorio Esquilin and his son Juan Luis Esquilin, were also arrested and facing charges related to the robbery as well.

Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw recognized the charges against Miranda in a statement after the arrest.

“The charges against Officer Miranda are disturbing and allege behavior that is in stark contrast to everything that society expects of its police officers. Still, we must not allow the actions of a few to tarnish the reputations of the overwhelming majority of PPD officers that discharge their duties with honor and integrity. It is more obvious than ever that police officers have to repair community trust in order to effectively do their jobs. For that to begin, we must prove that we (are) determined to identify and remove bad actors from within our ranks,” Outlaw said.

“While it is disheartening when those charged with upholding the law choose to break it, I am grateful for all of those who worked to bring these allegations to light,” she added.

Police were notified of his involvement in the crimes shortly after they took place, but police decided to allow him to keep his job for years. He was removed from street duty as the Internal Affairs Division conducted an investigation, but was still employed and collecting a paycheck from the department. It is not clear why the internal investigation took nearly three years to process.

Against US' Will? UK Continues to Use Equipment of Another Chinese Firm Despite Ditching Huawei

In 2017 Sepura, which produces digital mobile radio products, was bought by Chinese company Hytera, in which Beijing government has 2 percent stake. Hytera has been banned by the United States over concerns that its equipment may be used for surveillance.

The United Kingdom continues to use equipment produced by the Sepura company, including radios used by police officers, in particular, during protection of members of the royal family, the British media have reported. Systems and applications are used by British ambulance and fire services in airports, despite the fact that Sepura’s owner, Hytera, was blacklisted by the White House, which claims that its equipment may be used by Chinese authorities for espionage and surveillance, a claim which Hytera and Beijing deny.

Following the media reports, officials and experts urged the government of UK PM Boris Johnson to conduct a review of Sepura and its devices.

"If there is any question whatsoever that equipment provided to our police and Armed Forces would compromise their security in any way, this demands urgent investigation and necessary action. Our American allies are unlikely to have banned this firm without good cause", said Matthew Henderson, Asia studies director at the Henry Jackson Society, a foreign policy think-tank.

UK Former Foreign Secretary Sir Malcom Rifkind went further, saying that Downing Street must review all Chinese companies that could affect the country’s national security.

"China has changed a lot in the last few months, so we need to have fresh look. The government should treat it as a serious responsibility. They have to look at a particular company, revisit it and see whether you come to the same judgment as last time", said Rifkind.

In 2017, Sepura won a $94 million contract to supply 32,000 radios for the London Metropolitan police. The deal was reviewed by government agencies due to the company’s ownership and was given a green light by UK Business Secretary Greg Clark, with Hytera agreeing to random checks from the UK Home Office, the Ministry of Defence and the country’s intelligence agency GCHQ.

Hytera is among hi-tech companies, including Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Dahua, Hikvision, that the Trump administration has blocked from selling their products to government agencies, like the FBI. Hytera told the Mail on Sunday, however, that it has sold its kits to US federal agencies via its US division, PowerTrunk, because of a deal the latter signed with the Department of Homeland Security two years ago.

The development comes as this week the United Kingdom banned Chinese company Huawei from developing the UK 5G network. The decision followed months of deliberations and the UK government initially allowing the telecom giant to participate. Following months of pressure from the Trump administration, which warned Downing Street that doing business with Huawei may cost Britain its trade agreement with Washington, something London needs following Brexit, the government of Boris Johnson announced that it would not buy the Chinese company’s equipment for its 5G network.
