Seattle: 200 protesters try to protest at police chief’s home – neighbors use own vehicles to block the crowd

SEATTLE, WA- On Saturday night, Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best’s residence in Snohomish County was targeted by a large group of aggressive protesters. The next day, she implored City Council-members in a letter to stand up for what is right.

In the letter, she said:

“My neighbors were concerned by such a large group, but they were successful in ensuring the crowd was not able to trespass or engage in other illegal behavior in the area, despite repeated attempts to do so.”

“Before this devolves into the new way of doing business by mob rule here in Seattle and across the nation, elected officials like you must forcefully call for the end of these tactics.”

Mises Institute: The ‘Great Reset’ Calls For Technocracy

A German professor currently teaching in Brazil has independently confirmed TN’s long-held assessment that the “Great Reset” is being staged “with the intent of creating a global technocracy.” This is a critical, must read article for all TN readers. ⁃ TN Editor

The lockdown in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the implementation of long-held plans to establish a so-called new world order. Under the auspices of the World Economic Forum (WEF), global policymakers are advocating for a “Great Reset” with the intent of creating a global technocracy. It is not by coincidence that on October 18, 2019, in New York City the WEF participated in “Event 201” at the “high-level” pandemic exercise organized by the John Hopkins Center for Health Security.

This coming technocracy involves close cooperation between the heads of the digital industry and of governments. With programs such as guaranteed minimum income and healthcare for all, the new kind of governance combines strict societal control with the promise of comprehensive social justice.

The truth, however, is that this new world order of digital tyranny comes with a comprehensive social credit system. The People’s Republic of China is the pioneer of this method of surveillance and control of individuals, corporations, and sociopolitical entities.

Illinois lawmaker proposes ban on history classes: They ‘lead to a racist society’

A black Democratic state representative from Illinois wants to ban the teaching of history in the state because it “leads to white privilege and a racist society.”

As reported by NBC Chicago, Rep. LaShawn Ford gave out a news release before a Sunday gathering of politicians and educators which asked the Illinois Board of Education and school districts to “immediately remove history curriculum and books that ‘unfairly communicate’ history ‘until a suitable alternative is developed.'”

In place of history, Ford suggests more focus on civics and “ensuring students understand democratic processes.”

Ford also is sponsoring a bill which would mandate elementary schools teach about the civil rights movement.

Statement of Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers on the Public Release of the Department’s Findings with Respect to the 29 FISA Applications that Were the Subject of the March 2020 OIG Preliminary Report

Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers stated:

“The Department of Justice has completed its review of the 29 FISA applications that were the subject of preliminary findings by the DOJ Inspector General (OIG) in March 2020. We are pleased that our review of these applications concluded that all contained sufficient basis for probable cause and uncovered only two material errors, neither of which invalidated the authorizations granted by the FISA Court. These findings, together with the more than 40 corrective actions undertaken by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Division, should instill confidence in the FBI’s use of FISA authorities. We would like to express our appreciation to the OIG for their focus on the Department’s use of its national security authority. We remain committed to improving the FISA process to ensure that we use these tools consistent with the law and our obligations to the FISA Court. The ability to surveil and to investigate using FISA authorities remains critical to confronting current national security threats, including election interference, Chinese espionage and terrorism.”

U.S. To Increase Cooperation With Russia In Counterterrorism

In an oped printed in The Washington Post yesterday, U.S. National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien declared the U.S. and the Russian Federation would look in the coming month to increase cooperation in counterterrorism. Some cooperation has continued in recent years despite Western sanctions against Moscow, with each side providing tips regarding possible terror attacks in the other country, allowing security forces to intervene.

“Another area of potential cooperation with Russia is counterterrorism. Both Russia and the United States have had their homelands attacked by violent extremists. U.S. officials will likely engage with their Russian intelligence and law enforcement counterparts on such matters in the coming months,” Robert O’Brien said, reported Russian state news agency TASS.

NBA, Major League Baseball ratings crash after players, coaches refs, kneel to Black Lives Matter, disrespect anthem-flag

The social justice communist were so happy. Both Major League Baseball and NBA re-debuted their season with record ratings. The left, media, etc were all convince that the public’s craving of professional sport was too hard for normal, middle-class Americans to deal with, so disrespecting the flag, anthem and kneeling to Black Lives Matter during the opening game of both the NBA and Major League Baseball wasn’t such a good idea.

NBA, Major League Baseball ratings crash after players, coaches refs, kneel to Black Lives Matter, disrespect anthem-flag

Then something happened. The ratings absolutely crashed from record levels to below average levels during a normal season. People were fed up and pissed off with these millionaire “professional athletes” who make millions of dollars a year to play a kids game. Then the ratings crashed.

Suddenly in baseball, the BLM logo behind the picture’s mound went away and now they don’t even televise th national anthem anymore.. Gee, wonder way.

MLB really fell off after opening day. In general, both leagues aren't getting the audience one might expect from a nation that's been deprived of entertainment for months https://t.co/GazeoR9SNB

Millions Worth of PPP Loans Went to Chinese-Owned Companies, Report Finds

Hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars went to Chinese companies from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) that was designed to help small businesses survive during the pandemic, according to a new report.

A review of public PPP loan data by consultancy firm Horizon Advisory found that $192 million to $419 million in loans were given to more than 125 Chinese-owned or -invested companies operating in the United States. Many of the loans were substantial, with at least 32 Chinese-owned firms receiving over $1 million under the program, totaling between $85 million and $180 million, it found.

The recipients ranged from Chinese state-owned enterprises, companies that supported Beijing’s military development program, firms identified by the United States as national security threats, and media outlets controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the report said. Many were based in critical industries such as aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor manufacturing, it added. These are sectors that the CCP has slated for aggressive development to achieve global dominance, with the goal of supplanting competitors in the United States and other countries.

New York and California’s attorneys general are joining forces with the Federal Trade Commission in its antitrust investigation of Amazon, according to Bloomberg’s Spencer Soper.

Though the FTC and California’s probes were previously disclosed, New York’s involvement and the inter-agency cooperation have not been reported. Under the agreement, California, New York, and the FTC will share findings and interview witnesses.

Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google are all under antitrust scrutiny by various government agencies. The chief executives of each company testified on marketplace dominance in tech during a Congressional hearing last week.
