Minneapolis Sees New Wave of Protests After Release of Cop Involved in George Floyd Murder

It was in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where nationwide protests against police brutality and racism were again triggered, following the killing of a black man, George Floyd, by several white police officers in late May. Floyd was held to the ground for eight minutes and forty-six seconds while a policeman knelt on his neck as Floyd begged for air.

The release of the former police officer Derek Chauvin, who is primarily responsible for George Floyd's death, saw protesters again take to the streets in Minneapolis on Thursday.

Chauvin, who is charged with murder and manslaughter in the Floyd case, was released from Oak Park Heights prison on Wednesday, on $1 million bail. He is expected to arrive in court for a hearing in March 2021.

Chauvin - alongside his three colleagues - face charges after a video of him kneeling on Floyd's neck while the latter is held on the ground was posted online, prompting nationwide protests against brutality and racism by police. Several of the demonstrations saw a heavily militarized police response which resulted in violence and rioting, as well as looting, arson and casualties.

The other former officers at the scene - Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao - were released pending a trial after posting bail of $750,000 apiece, charged with aiding and abetting the killing.

Gov. Cuomo’s office: ‘We’ve been sued virtually every day’ over COVID-19 actions

Agudath Israel of America on Thursday filed a lawsuit in a federal court to prevent Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) from limiting how many people can gather in places of worship in certain parts of the state, The Yeshiva World reports.

The organization, which was founded in 1922 to serve the American Orthodox Jewish community, took the action after months of what it claims is Gov. Cuomo’s targeting and ostracizing of Jewish communities during the COVID-19 outbreak.

“We’ve been sued virtually every day for every action taken. We’re concentrating on reducing the virus in these hot spots and saving lives, period,” NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office.

Recent outbreaks in New York City have been mostly confined to certain areas of Queens and Brooklyn, which have been called “red zones.” Many Orthodox Jewish communities live in these red zones. For this reason, Gov. Cuomo earlier this week stated that he might ban large gatherings at houses of worship, which has been met by large Jewish protests and condemnation from Jewish political and religious leaders.

Gov. Cuomo’s office responded to SaraACarter.com and told this reporter: “We’ve been sued virtually every day for every action taken. We’re concentrating on reducing the virus in these hot spots and saving lives, period.”

The governor’s executive order comes consequentially as the Jewish community commemorates their high, holy days. In light of that, the lawsuit claims that the order is “depriving them of their religious worship and holiday observance.”

Furthermore, the lawsuit argues that the order is unconstitutional for discriminating against individuals practicing their religion while secular events comparable in size and social distancing are allowed. Additionally, they argue that, while the order targets all religions, because the restrictions apply to these “red zones” where many Jewish people live, it disproportionately targets them and their faith.

According to the Yeshiva World article, the fact that Orthodox Jews cannot drive on certain holidays essentially prevents them from attending services at synagogues outside the red zones.

Agudath Israel of America was not available for immediate comment. This story will be updated if and when a comment is received.

Stolen Mail, Including Election Ballots Found Discarded in Southern California

A citizen on Wednesday morning found stolen mail, including election ballots, discarded in two Southern California desert towns.

According to the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department, a citizen told them that they had found discarded incoming mail in Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms.

The mail was stolen from a cluster of mailboxes, according to authorities.

No arrests have been made and law enforcement officials believe the suspects were targeting mail for information to commit identity theft.

KESQ reported that the mail was returned back to the postmaster for re-delivery.

CBS Los Angeles reported:

A citizen told San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies with the Morongo Basin Station that they had found the discarded incoming mail, including voter ballots, in the 6500 block of Winters Road in Joshua Tree. More discarded mail was found in the 6500 block of Encelia Avenue in neighboring Twentynine Palms.

The recovered mail was apparently stolen from a cluster of mailboxes within the 56200 block of Reche Road in Landers, north of Joshua Tree, sheriff’s officials said. An investigation determined voter ballots were not being targeted, just incoming mail.

Vote-by-mail ballots are being sent out to homes this week, and the sheriff’s department is urging voters to monitor their mailboxes due to the upcoming election.

Vote in person if you want your vote to count.

A New Jersey mail carrier was arrested and charged for dumping mail, including election ballots, the US Attorney’s office in the District of New Jersey announced Wednesday.

Earlier this week, Virginia election officials put out a statement warning the public that ballots may have been stolen when 6 mailboxes were broken into over the weekend.

Putin invites Azerbaijani & Armenian FMs to FRIDAY talks in Moscow, urges to halt hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said the top diplomats of Armenia and Azerbaijan were invited to take part in peace talks in Moscow on Friday so that a “humanitarian” ceasefire may be agreed in disputed Nagorno-Karabakh.

Putin called on all sides of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh to suspend hostilities “for humanitarian reasons” to allow for a prisoner swap and an exchange of bodies of those killed in the skirmishes, the Kremlin said Thursday. The Russian president previously described the ongoing military face-off in the contested region as a “tragedy.”

The foreign ministers of both Armenia and Azerbaijan were invited to participate in “consultations” to further an armistice on Friday, October 9, and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will act as a mediator.

The invitation came after Putin held several rounds of calls with both Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev.

In addition to its attempt to make the warring parties sit down for talks, Russia is involved in mediation efforts as part of the OSCE Minsk Group, tasked with ending the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. On Thursday, the group, which lists Russia, the US, and France as its co-chairs, convened in the Swiss city of Geneva. Moscow is set to host its next meeting on October 12, according to French Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Yves Le Drian.

The decades-old dispute between over Nagorno-Karabakh - an Armenian-populated enclave inside what is internationally recognised as Azerbaijan - flared up on September 27, with Azerbaijan and Armenia pointing finger at each other as the instigator behind the new bout of heavy fighting. There have been casualties, including among civilians, reported on both sides.

Dozens arrested as France busts major child porn network, including men suspected of sexually assaulting kids on camera

French police have arrested 61 people allegedly involved in a vast child pornography network. Some of the suspects are believed to have filmed their sexual assault of minors, investigators said.

The major sting was announced by Eric Berot, head of one of the divisions within France’s sub-directorate for battling organized crime, on Thursday. The arrests were made this week during a large operation that spanned 30 of France’s regions.

So far, 61 suspects have been detained. Several suspects had been working in positions that facilitated access to children – they include teachers, religious leaders and even city hall officials.

“These arrests include everyone – all trades, all social classes, from merchants to managers, from white collar to blue collar, of all ages, from 28 to 75 years old, from all family situations, single people, those in a couple, with or without children,” Berot stated.

At least 13 of those arrested have a previous criminal record and were on the national sex offender register. The suspects are predominantly male, with only one woman, suspected of watching the illicit videos alongside her partner, among those taken into custody. The demand for child pornography in France has grown amid the anti-coronavirus lockdown, Berot noted.

The arrests came after a months-long investigation into a large group that produced and distributed child porn online through peer-to-peer networks. The police have seized a large quantity of computers, and hard and USB drives, as well as other electronic devices. Investigators are still digging through the data, Berot said.

At least three of the suspects are believed to have been personally involved in raping minors on camera. One of the suspects, said to be a computer scientist, has admitted to having regularly assaulted his own 14-year-old daughter since she was nine, Berot revealed. Officers discovered an enormous cache of more than 110,000 illicit images and some 2,000 child pornography videos on his computer.

European Parliament President Sassoli self-isolating after member of his staff tests positive for Covid-19

The president of the European Parliament, David Sassoli, announced on Thursday he would self-isolate after contact with a Covid-19 infected person.

“I was recently in contact with a member of my staff who today tested positive for Covid-19,” Sassoli tweeted. “In accordance with the rules, I’ll be self-isolating for the required period to carry out the necessary checks.”

The EU Parliament head said he feels fine and has “no symptoms.”

Sassoli has already put himself into quarantine once – back in March, after spending a weekend in Italy, where the government had placed the entire country under lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus infections. The parliament chief said at the time that he planned to work from his home in Brussels “as a precaution” in compliance with the health protocol.

He is not the only EU leader who had to self-isolate lately. European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday she was self-isolating after attending a state council meeting in Portugal where a participant later tested positive for Covid-19.

Although Von der Leyen canceled a scheduled trip to Greece, she said she would leave quarantine on Tuesday, despite the EU recommendation of 14 days of self-isolation following suspected contact with a positive case. The commission head, who has twice tested negative for the virus, has instead followed Belgium’s rules, which have been softened compared to EU guidelines.

EU Council President Charles Michel also postponed a scheduled EU summit in September, after contact with a member of his security team who later tested positive for the coronavirus.

There’s a ‘reasonably good chance’ experimental Regeneron antibody therapy worked for Trump, Fauci says

An experimental antibody therapy by Regeneron Inc has likely helped US President Donald Trump fight coronavirus and “made him much better,” the country’s top infectious diseases expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has said.

The treatment, which has been touted by the president as an ultimate cure for coronavirus, might actually have worked, Fauci told MSNBC on Thursday.

“There is a reasonably good chance that, in fact, it made him much better,” Fauci said. While Trump “certainly looks good and apparently feels good”, a “reversal” in his condition is still possible, Fauci warned.

“One of the issues that we all have to be aware of, and his physicians are aware of this, is that the history of Covid-19 is that you could look and feel like you’re doing reasonably well and, after a couple of days, you could have a downturn – namely, a reversal,” he said.

On Wednesday, Trump lauded the antibody treatment as the “key” to his recovery and an ultimate “cure,” insisting that its effect turned out to be “unbelievable.”

“I felt good immediately. I felt as good three days ago as I do now,” Trump stated. He also said he approved emergency use of the antibody cocktail for hospitals, and even promised it would be free for patients when distributed.

The Regeneron antibody drug is still undergoing clinical trials and is not widely available to the general public. Trump was given the treatment thanks to a “compassion use” request from his doctors, which allows patients to gain access to experimental drugs if their condition is life-threatening.

The company said it had experienced a surge in “compassion use” requests since Trump was administered the medicine, and Regeneron’s stock enjoyed a sharp rise on receiving the presidential praise.

That Little Green Dot: Your iPhone Camera Is Spying On You

Apple has rolled out with a new privacy protection feature on its iPhone, specifically with the new iOS 14 update, which many will welcome and consider crucial in the post Edward Snowden era, as well as the explosion of cases of unwanted corporate spying and tracking individuals for creepy product placement and data collection purposes.

The Apple update will make a little green dot appear anytime an app actively uses the iPhone's camera, Apple recently indicated in a statement. And further a similar orange dot will appear anytime the microphone is activated.

“An indicator appears at the top of your screen whenever an app is using your microphone or camera,” Apple said. “And in Control Center, you can see if an app has used them recently.”

“Privacy is a fundamental human right and at the core of everything we do,” Apple explained, acknowledging the growing controversy and public outcry over apps that 'spy' on users without their known it, for example apps that gear adds based on the iPhone user's vicinity to a particular store.

"That’s why with iOS 14, we’re giving you more control over the data you share and more transparency into how it’s used," Apple said previously during the update rollout.

Rigged? Billionaire Wealth Surges As Working-Poor Struggle

The virus pandemic has exposed the rigged economic system we all knew about, where mega-corporations and their billionaire owners, a small group of elites, were handed trillions of dollars of stimulus money by their respective central banks and governments.

Stimulus money was then plowed into financial markets, driving up stock and other asset prices from the depths of the crash in mid-March, which helped push total billionaire wealth to new record highs.

The "Riding the storm" study, published on Wednesday by UBS and PwC, found that between April and July of this year, global billionaire wealth soared to $10.2 trillion, up from $8 trillion at the beginning of April. This increase reflected a 27.5% surge in total billionaire wealth over the three months.

The flawed economic system has been exposed for the world to see. The result, well, it's a "K-shaped" recovery, outlines how wealthy elites greatly benefited from stimulus but left the working-poor and small businesses with no recovery. The "K" recovery is the result of socialism and central planning. The coming blowback of such a reckless policy by governments and central banks enriching billionaires will continue to widen the wealth gap that results in continued social unrest.
