Are Recent Reports of COVID Surges an Attempt to Suppress In-Person Voting?

Back in March, the COVID mantra was, “15 days to slow the spread”, meaning flattening the curve. The purpose was to avoid overwhelming the medical system as no one really knew what we were up against with the Wuhan virus.

This allowed time for the system to adapt and recalibrate to this new illness. As the virus peaked in mid-April, the subsequent months should have been the normal course of a viral pandemic, some getting sick to varying degrees, others unfortunately dying, but eventually reaching herd immunity, itself a longstanding concept – suddenly controversial.

This has been the course of past flu seasons and other viral pandemics, but none lead to shutting down economies all over the world, causing incalculable financial and social devastation to cities, states, countries, and individuals. Just when we see a light at the end of the tunnel there is a reported surge in cases, often timed to political events.

The first surge was in mid-summer, as businesses were opening and the presidential campaigns began in earnest with nominating conventions. President Trump’s rallies energized his base and are a unique feature to his campaign, something Sleepy Joe Biden could in no way replicate. Conveniently the surge put a damper on Trump rallies.

The second surge is now, just weeks before the 2020 presidential election. The Atlantic, one of many left-wing mouthpieces for the Democrat party, framed it politically, “The Coronavirus surge that will define the next four years.” How exactly does a viral illness define a future presidential term? Easily, if this has never been about the virus but instead about the election.

One only needs to look back to January 15, the same day, coincidentally or not, when the first case of the Chinese flu arrived in the US, the US and China signed a phase 1 trade deal, and the day that House Democrats waddled over to the Senate in solemn fashion carrying articles of impeachment against the President. A confluence of likely related events all on the very same day. Subsequent moves by Trump have been portrayed under a political microscope following on the heels of that January day.

What if the latest surge is just another political move, an attempt to influence election, now a week away?

Dems Boost Libertarian in Kentucky in Hail Mary to Defeat McConnell

Dem donors are Libertarian candidate's biggest backers

A liberal PAC is spending more than $1 million to bolster Kentucky's Libertarian Party nominee in a last-ditch attempt to funnel votes away from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.).

Ditch Mitch Fund, an anti-McConnell PAC founded by national liberal operatives, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars from far-left donors to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), campaign-finance disclosures show. The money has helped the group spend more than $10 million on ads slamming McConnell and championing Democratic nominee Amy McGrath. But in the closing days of the campaign, Ditch Mitch Fund is instead spending big to sing the praises of Libertarian candidate Brad Barron.

The move is part of a larger liberal strategy to peel votes away from red-state Republicans by putting substantial funds behind little-known third-party candidates. One anti-McConnell super PAC—Fire Mitch Save America—has spent more than $250,000 on pro-Barron mailers in October. In South Carolina, Democratic Senate nominee Jaime Harrison, the state's Democratic Party, and an outside group aligned with Harrison have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on campaign materials that call Constitution Party candidate Bill Bledsoe "the only true conservative on the ballot."

Federal Election Commission filings show that Ditch Mitch Fund launched an affiliate PAC called True Kentucky Patriots on October 13. Just days later, the group pushed back on reports that it was pulling its TV ads in the race's final two weeks, instead saying it was "simply adjusting and moving around" the ad buys. True Kentucky Patriots went on to report more than $300,000 spent on TV, radio, and digital spots that call Barron "Kentucky's true conservative for U.S. Senate." According to ad-buying tracker Advertising Analytics, the total ad blitz is worth more than $1 million.

"Brad Barron is a farmer and businessman who will protect our liberties from Washington politicians," one True Kentucky Patriots TV ad states. "Sorry, Mitch, 36 years is too long. Vote your values and for freedom. Vote for conservative libertarian Brad Barron."

The ad campaign dwarfs Barron's own spending in the race. The third-party candidate has disbursed less than $17,000 as of June 30 and has failed to file the last two required FEC reports.

Hillary's 2016 Birthday Tweet Still Makes Us Laugh Four Years Later

Four years ago, I, like most Americans (and probably most people worldwide) was convinced that Hillary Clinton was headed for certain victory. Hillary Clinton was clearly convinced of it, too. And four years ago today, on her birthday, her Twitter account posted a tweet featuring a photo of Hillary as a child, with the comment: “Happy birthday to this future president.”

Thankfully, this tweet’s prediction turned out to be wrong. And I’m not just saying that because Hillary Clinton never became president, but because the tweet has been a source of laughter now for four years, the tweet still accumulates replies and retweets. Most of the ones occurring today are noting that Amy Coney Barrett is on the verge of being confirmed to the Supreme Court on Hillary’s birthday—which seems like poetic justice to me.

Kanye West: Abortion has killed more black lives in 2020 than total US COVID death count

'We are in genocide'

October 26, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – So, Kanye West — 2020 presidential candidate, rap artist, and (recently) self-described Christian — headed over to Texas for a conversation with Joe Rogan, and it was quite the ride. West talked about how he plans to create stadium churches; his brawls with the music industry executives; his (very American) path from hip hop to church and sort of back again; and his apparently very real political aspirations.

Despite accusations from the Left that Kanye West is running for president as the 2020 election cycle’s Jill Stein with an eye to screwing things up for Joe Biden, West dropped $3 million on his campaign last month alone. West assured Rogan that he is running to win—although he was pretty vague on the particulars. “It was something that God put in my heart back in 2015,” West told a surprisingly straight-faced and very secular Rogan. “A few days before the MTV Awards it hit me in the shower. When I first thought of it, I just started laughing to myself and all this joy came over my body, through my soul. I felt that energy. I felt that spirit.”

When Rogan suggested that he might want to take a shot at a governorship first like Ronald Reagan, West shrugged it off, clearly having none of it. “If it’s in God’s plan that part of my path is to be the governor then that’s fine, but my calling is to be the leader of the free world,” he replied resolutely. Trump’s team might be hoping that West voters act as a spoiler for Biden, but West clearly has his own plans.

West also referenced the comments he made about his daughter North at a rally in South Carolina back in July, where he cried onstage and admitted that he and his wife Kim Kardashian had considered aborting her. He had cried, he told Rogan, because he was “gut wrenched.” He noted that at the time they found out they were expecting North, he felt he was “too busy” to become a dad. (In July, he described the incident in raw terms, stating that he had suggested the abortion, but Kim refused: “I almost killed my daughter…My girlfriend called me screaming, crying. I’m a rapper. And she said I’m pregnant. She was crying.”)

“People saw this clip of me crying and some people didn’t know what I was crying about,” he told Rogan. “But I was crying about that there was a possible chance…that we—Kim and I—didn’t make the family that we have today. That’s my most family-friendly way to word that. The idea of [abortion] just tears me up inside, that I was part of a culture that promotes this kind of thing.”

He continued:

Microplastics in Groundwater (and our drinking water) Present Unknown Risk

Microplastics (plastics <5mm) and their negative health impacts have been studied in oceans, rivers, and even soils, and scientists are beginning to grapple with the myriad human health impacts their presence might have. One understudied, but critical, link in the cycle is groundwater, which is often a source of drinking water.

While microplastics in groundwater likely affect human health, only a handful of studies have examined the abundance and movement of microplastics in groundwater. This gap means the potential for adverse health effects remains largely unknown.

At the Geological Society of America’s 2020 Annual Meeting today at 1:30, Teresa Baraza Piazuelo, a Ph.D. candidate at Saint Louis University, will help fill that knowledge gap by presenting new research on groundwater microplastics in a karst aquifer. “There hasn’t been that much research looking at [micro]plastics and groundwater,” Baraza says. “It’s a very new topic. There’s been a boom of research on microplastics in the ocean, even in soils… but to fully understand something, you have to explore it in all its aspects.”

Microplastics pose multiple physical and chemical risks to the ecosystems where they’re present, and those risks are exacerbated by plastics’ longevity in natural environments. “Since they’re plastic, they’re very durable,” Baraza says, “which is why plastic is great. But it doesn’t degrade easily.” Microplastics’ ability to linger in their environments for decades or longer likely has cumulative detrimental effects on both the organisms and quality of the ecosystem. Their chemical threat stems largely from their ability to transport harmful compounds on their surfaces; when organisms at the base of the food chain ingest microplastics, they ingest the toxins, too. As larger organisms consume the smaller ones, the toxins can build up (a process called bioaccumulation), eventually resulting in responses like organ dysfunction, genetic mutation, or death. “Cave ecosystems are known for being super fragile to begin with,” she explains. “All the cave organisms — salamanders, blind fish — are sensitive, so any contaminants that are introduced could damage those ecosystems.”

Groundwater can stay in the same aquifer for tens to hundreds of years, or even longer. Combining that long residence time with plastics’ resistance to degradation means that those chemical effects could effectively build up in the water and in any organisms within it, increasing the likelihood of toxic bioaccumulation. Together, these could result in long-term contamination of water sources with poorly-understood health effects and ecosystem damage.

Beaumont PD: Prostitution sting/Anti-human trafficking operation leads to 21 arrests

Beaumont Police Department and Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, teamed up and ran a two-day, joint, anti-human trafficking operation targeting sex buyers.

The two-day operation led to the arrest of 21 males that solicited sexual relations from minors and adults. Additional charges are expected once the investigations are complete.

We would like to give a special “thank you” to Collective Liberty and McLennan County Sheriff’s Office for their help and technical assistance on this operation.

Human trafficking is modern day slavery. The exploitation of men, women, and children for forced labor or sex by a third party for profit or gain. A person doesn’t have to be transported across borders for trafficking to take place, it can occur anywhere.

Sex trafficking is fueled by the demand that these buyers provide. Without men who are willing to purchase sex, traffickers and pimps would not exploit victims, many of who are children, and force them into a life of prostitution. The purpose of this operation was to reduce demand and deter people from buying sex.

Bill Gates: Big Tech companies “doing more now” to address “wild stories” about vaccines

Gates questioned whether such stories would affect mask wearing and willingness to take the vaccine.

As the level of censorship on social media platforms continues to climb, investor and philanthropist Bill Gates has acknowledged that Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter are “doing more now” to stop the spread of what he describes as “wild stories” and conspiracies about the vaccine.

Gates made the comments during an interview with Yahoo Finance where he questioned whether “wild stories about the vaccine,” such as suggestions that the vaccine is “a conspiracy based on evil intent,” would impact mask wearing and willingness to the vaccine.

When asked about whether he or representatives of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation had been in touch with Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter to mitigate the spread of these “crazy stories” and “misinformation,” Gates said:

“I think those companies are doing more now to do that. This is kind of a wild phenomena. We’ve always had some wariness of vaccines, about vaccines but not this idea of connecting them to a plot, you know, like microchipping people to track them, or you know, things that you, you know, even in a fiction story wouldn’t be all that believable.”

Gates’ comments follow both Facebook and YouTube making sweeping changes that restrict criticism and opposition to vaccines over the last couple of months.

Facebook recently banned all ads that discourage vaccines and has been removing groups and pages that spread what it deems to be “vaccine misinformation” from its search recommendations.

YouTube has taken an even stricter approach and banned any videos that go against the World Health Organization’s “consensus” on a future coronavirus vaccine.

While both companies are aggressively clamping down on vaccine criticism and opposition, positive content about vaccines is welcomed and Facebook even amplifies messages from the WHO that tell people to get vaccinated.

In previous statements, Gates and his wife Melinda have alluded to the need for social media platforms to do more to censor what they deem to be misinformation with Bill calling for Big Tech to use “smart solutions” that slow the spread of misinformation and Melinda warning that these platforms are due a “reckoning” for failing to remove enough misinformation.

Gates has even gone as far as suggesting governments should ban end-to-end encryption in private messaging apps to tackle misinformation.

Biden Campaign Announces Live Event After Trump Suggests Joe ‘Waved a White Flag’ in Final Week of Race

President Donald Trump appeared to have smoked former Vice President Joe Biden out of his basement after he mocked his opponent for having “waved a white flag” while speaking with reporters in Pennsylvania on Monday.

The president spoke briefly to reporters after arriving in Pennsylvania at 10:53 a.m. on Monday morning for three campaign rallies in the state.

“He’s waved a white flag on life,” Trump replied when asked for his reaction to Biden’s accusation that the president had “waved the white flag” on fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

“He doesn’t leave his basement,” Trump continued. “This guy doesn’t leave his basement. He is a pathetic candidate, I will tell you that.”

At about an hour after the president’s comments, the Biden campaign broke the “lid” on in-person events to announce a local stop in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.

Biden only held three campaign events last week. On Sunday, October 18, Biden held a drive-in rally in North Carolina, and on Saturday he participated in two events in Pennsylvania.

He did not hold any events on Sunday, while President Trump traveled from Florida to North Carolina, to New Hampshire, to Maine, and back to Washington, DC, that day.

“I don’t know, there’s something going on,” Trump said at his rally in New Hampshire. “Somebody said it’s strategy, it’s not, because really, strategy would be coming out.”

Deutsche Bank Creating A Destructive Domino Effect That Will Result In Apocalyptic Economic Collapse!

Deutsche Bank, the second most prominent bank in Europe, the greatest bank in Germany, one of the ten largest banks by assets in the whole world and, evidently, the leading authority for derivatives trading, is caught up in a huge chaos. The International Monetary Fund was the first to warn about it being the biggest net contributor to systemic risks for the global financial system, undoubtedly, the bank’s situation is decisive for the world’s economy. The banking system simply cannot allow Deutsche Bank to fall, otherwise, it will drag along the whole financial system with it, creating a destructive domino effect that will result in a catastrophic economic collapse.

However, recent developments don’t seem favorable for its reputation. In fact, many now believe that the end is near for the bank, and its downfall may be closer than imagined. That’s why today, we decided to expose the many layers of Deutsche Bank’s inevitable decay and how its meltdown will likely resonate in our already severely disrupted economy. So stay with us, and please don’t forget to give this video a thumbs up, share it with friends, and subscribe to our channel to keep updated with future videos.

When it comes to banking issues a simple rule can be applied: The louder some authority shouts on the media reassuring everything is just fine, surely, the bigger the trouble really is. So when government officials are repeatedly insisting that nothing is going on and things will be handled smoothly, we have confirmation of their despair. Just by the fact that they bother to say anything at all, we can already ascertain that there’s something much more dangerous hiding behind the covers. And by the end of this video, you’ll understand that’s the case.

Deutsche Bank could be a contrarian’s dream. But it’s not because something is cheap – in exact numbers: down 84% – that it will necessarily be a good purchase. Falling share prices is a major red flag for a company, especially when the company is the institution that ties several other institutions together. It could be an alert sign for many looming problems, but the most visible one is that a stock market crash is right on the horizon.

So one can ask “what is going wrong with Deutsche Bank?” – and, well, basically everything. Starting with the foundations in which its system was created. For a while now, the bank is facing hardships to adapt to a changed competitive situation where its business model and cost structure are no longer sustainable. Needless to say that tightened regulations have made the banking industry a bureaucracy horror show.

Just as many bankrupt businesses trying to stay afloat, the German giant announced that it will lay off over 18,000 employees, which configures nearly one-fifth of its global workforce. The bank also disclosed to have plans to pursue a vast restructuring on its functioning, which will include shutting down its global equities trading business. Such measures may help to delay Deutsche Bank’s inexorable march into oblivion, but not for long. And when the weight becomes too heavy to bear, it will trigger a massive collapse taking down a whole lot of others with it at the same time.

The newsletter Wall Street On Parade noted that the bank has 49 trillion dollars in exposure to derivatives as of the end of last year, meaning it is in the same group as the U.S. titans JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs, which registered $48 trillion, $47 trillion and $42 trillion, respectively. And even though the bank’s actual credit risk is significantly lower than the national value of its derivatives contracts, there is still a scandalous amount of exposure that can be very well illustrated when we consider the state of Deutsche Bank’s balance sheet.

Furthermore, there are many other aggravating issues at stake for Deutsche Bank right now. According to the Financial Times, the German institution is coping with a shocking number of regulatory actions and lawsuits – 7,000 to be more precise. And you can imagine when such an important piece at the European’s shaky financial system is risking to fall and spark a disastrous domino effect, investor confidence can disappear from the charts in a matter of hours. Once it’s gone, there will be no way back other than a huge bailout. But considering the track record of the bank, it doesn’t seem like a feasible option, particularly because its situation will act as an explosive destroying everything in sight in the stock market.

Deutsche Bank is a house of pyramid scheme cards!

'Vigilantes' arrest alleged child sex predator in Perth park

Two vigilantes have made an extraordinary citizens' arrest on an alleged child sex predator at a suburban Perth park.

Police say the men, aged in their 30s, posed as a 14-year-old boy on dating app Grindr to lure the 61-year-old.

Detectives allege they exchanged sexually explicit messages with the 61-year-old and arranged to meet him at Creyk Park in Kelmscott, in Perth's south-east, at 10am last Thursday.

When the man arrived the pair called Triple Zero and held him there until police attended.

Officers then searched the man's phone and allegedly located the sexually explicit messages before raiding his home and seizing further electronic devices.

Armadale detectives said they did not encourage this type of behaviour from civilians, but did commend the vigilantes for not hurting the man.

Russ Alan Portelli, 61, was refused bail and will front court again next month charged with using electronic communication with intent to procure a person, under the age of 16 years, to engage in sexual activity.
