The Yellow Vests don't exactly get a lot of coverage from the US media. But for some reason, WaPo has decided this week to carry the AP wire story on YV 15. This article is not very long and not very fact-based (although I did manage to find one new fact in the article: that there are five separate demonstrations in Paris).

Why is WaPo covering the YV's with hot-of-the-press (like an hour old) report? Maybe because the only other fact–and a second rate fact at that–is that Toulouse demonstrators "blocked access to an Amazon platform," whatever the heck that means. But, sorry folks, no details. As usual.

French yellow vest protesters seek momentum on 15th week

By Associated Press February 23 at 8:37 AM

PARIS — Yellow vest protesters took to the streets across France on Saturday for a 15th straight weekend of demonstrations, trying to re-energize supporters while tamping down on the violence and anti-Semitism in the movement’s ranks.

Hundreds gathered at the Arc de Triomphe monument in Paris for a march through well-off neighborhoods to protest government policies they see as favoring the rich. It was among many rallies and marches planned around Paris and in other cities.

Five separate demonstrations were organized in the French capital.

Support for the movement has ebbed in recent weeks as it has splintered and outbreaks of violence continue. Online announcements for Saturday’s marches appealed for peaceful action, and one of the weekend protests aimed to stand up against anti-Semitism.

Zombie rat CYBORGS controlled by the human MIND in ‘Frankenstein’ tests are steered through maze in bizarre experiments

By Hana Carter

23rd February 2019, 8:11 am

SCIENTISTS have created mind-controlled rats that can be directed through a maze by the power of human thought.

Researchers implanted micro-electrodes to the rat's brain and connected it to the brain of a human volunteer who was hooked up to a computer. Unbelievably, when the human 'manipulator' thought about moving their left arm, the rat turned left. The same with the right arm.

Blinking sent signals to the rat to move forward and after continuous research with six 'cyborg rats' the scientists were able to direct the rodents through incredibly complex mazes. Movement-related thoughts in the mind of the manipulator sent signals to the computer, which then translated those signals into instructions and sent them to the brain of the rat.

The team at Zhejiang University first started with just a few tubes and then moved on to something to intricate designs with tight turns and multiple levels.

Discover Magazine wrote: "The results showed that rat cyborgs could be smoothly and successfully navigated by the human mind to complete a navigation task in a complex maze,“Our experiments indicated that the cooperation through transmitting multidimensional information between two brains by computer-assisted brain-machine interfaces is promising."

Brain Machine Interfaces (BMI) already allow humans to control things with their minds, but this is the first time an animal has been controlled - creating a brain-to-brain interface.

In the future, the Zheijang researchers hope that “information flow will be made bidirectional and communicative between two human individuals."

Andrea Stocco, a brain researcher at the University of Washington said that the results of the rat cyborg study were "impressive but believable".

"The holy grail of BBI would be sharing rich content that cannot be better expressed in words, such as emotions and feelings,” he told the magazine. "We are still so far from that, but, of course, that would be the dream."

Thanks, only wish the stupid MSM press had boots-on-the-ground coverage instead of just these uniformly bad AP releases. WaPo picks it up only because an "Amazon platform" is blocked. Self-centered much?

I think you mean 1868 (I had to look it up). Figured 1789 adoption would have been extremely farsighted on the part of the Forefathers. Kek.

Indeed the question remains. Many questions have now arisen for the very first time in our history because so many politicians are ready to throw out or misapply so many provisions in the Constitution or Amendments.
