Searching every day
Looking every way
Trying to make a connection
To find a piece of the action
Like a hungry poet
Who doesn't know
He is close to perfection
Choice is the question
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride

Police Helicopter Deployed To Catch 3 Men Violating Social Distancing Restrictions On Rooftop Party: “We can see you…The building is surrounded!” [VIDEO]
When citizens of free countries began to see leaked videos of Chinese citizens being chased down and surrounded by law enforcement officers wielding clubs and wearing hazmat suits, they were grateful to be living in a free country. But how free are we really? In Michigan, Democrat Governor Whitmer is threatening citizens with large fines or even arrest if they dare to travel to their private vacation homes to avoid living in coronavirus hotspots. In New York City, Communist Mayor deBlasio is asking citizens to snitch on each other by snapping photos of neighbors and turning them into law enforcement for violating social distancing restrictions.
The United States isn’t the only country ignoring the rights of citizens with draconian lockdown measures, stories coming out of Australia are equally frightening.

Don’t forget about Global Warming, warns UN
Global warming must be fought with “the same determination” as the coronavirus pandemic, the United Nations warned on Wednesday.
The new coronavirus (Covid-19) “may result in a temporary reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, but it is not a substitute for sustained climate action,” the World Meteorological Organisation said in a press release.
“Whilst Covid-19 has caused a severe international health and economic crisis, failure to tackle climate change may threaten human well-being, ecosystems and economies for centuries,” according to WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas. “We need to flatten both the pandemic and climate change curves,” he said.

Alarmists Struggle to Keep Climate Panic Alive as ‘Earth Day’ Turns 50
Earth Day 2020 has arrived to find environmental groups struggling to keep people focused on the alleged climate crisis now that the coronavirus pandemic has stolen their limelight.
“Climate change is a moral, religious and justice issue,” proclaims the official Earth Day website as the yearly commemoration celebrates its 50th birthday on April 22 in the absence of fanfare or large public gatherings.
Whereas in 1970 Earth Day focused on clean air, land, and water, it has gradually shifted its attention to global warming and carbon dioxide emissions as these topics have taken center stage among environmentalists.
The Paris Climate Agreement was signed by over 120 countries on Earth Day 2016, and the 27-page text conspicuously omitted any reference to the problem of pollution

Harvard refuses calls to return $8.6mn bailout money, despite sitting on endowment worth more than 100 COUNTRIES' GDP
Harvard University has refused a call from President Donald Trump to return millions in coronavirus bailout money, insisting it needs it for financial aid. Trump has threatened to “look at” Harvard’s fat $41-billion endowment.
The deep-pocketed Ivy League school stated on Tuesday that it would not return $8.6 million in ‘emergency’ funding allotted as part of last month’s $2.2 trillion CARES Act, despite pleas from several politicians, including Trump and some members of Congress. The generous bailout package showered cash on educational institutions of all stripes without regard for their existing financial reserves, only stipulating that at least half the money go to financial aid for students.

Coronavirus: China-Africa trade down 14 per cent in first quarter to US$41 billion
Closure of factories and ports as part of efforts to battle Covid-19 sees China’s imports fall 17.5 per cent in January-March period, while exports drop by 10.5 per cent, customs agency says
Slump comes as no surprise and figures should improve once China’s industrial sector gets back on its feet, ‘probably in the second half of the year’, analyst says
Trade between China and Africa plummeted in the first quarter of the year, as the coronavirus piled extra pressure on the world’s second-largest economy, which continues to struggle with the impact of a punishing and drawn-out tariff war with the United States.
Two-way trade in the January-March period dropped 14 per cent year on year to US$41.23 billion as the closure of Chinese factories and ports in January and February – as part of a nationwide effort to contain the spread of Covid-19 – damaged both exports and imports, according to official figures from China’s General Administration of Customs.
China’s imports from Africa, mostly raw materials for industry, such as oil and metals, fell by 17.5 per cent in the quarter to US$19.8 billion, while exports dropped 10.5 per cent to US$21.4 billion.

Elaine Chao and Her ‘China Family’
It seems that as of late many connections between the Chinese government and US officials are coming to light. Of course, as seen in a previous article, Joe Biden and son Hunter Biden seem to have deep ties to the authoritarian state. Another prominent figure is also coming under scrutiny lately. That is Elaine Chao (趙小蘭).
Chao is the current US Secretary of Transportation. From 2001 to 2009 she was the Secretary of Labor under the George W. Bush administration. Chao was born in Taipei, Taiwan. Her parents had fled China after the Chinese Civil War between the Nationalist KMT Party, 中國國民黨, one of the two major parties in active in Taiwan today, and the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP, 中國共產黨, the ruling party in China today.

Attorney Who Oversaw Hearings of Corrupt Chicago Cops Was Murdered Alongside His Lawyer Wife
Two prominent attorneys, husband and wife, were recently murdered in a wealthy suburb of Chicago. Now, local police are imploring the public for their help to move the case forward.
“Part of the investigative process is not only to examine the scene, but also to look beyond the incident for movements in the area that might offer clues that can help solve this heinous crime,” Oak Park Police Chief LaDon Reynolds said on Monday. “That’s why I am asking residents in the surrounding blocks to help by sharing any security video they may have recorded up to a week prior to the incident.”
On April 13, police discovered the bodies of 67-year-old Leslie Ann Jones and her 69-year-old husband Thomas E. Johnson–titular partners at the Chicago-based law firm of Johnson, Jones, Snelling, Gilbert & Davis. The couple had been repeatedly stabbed to death.

WATCH: Should FISA court be abolished amid FBI abuses?
The following is a transcript of an investigative report on Full Measure News. Click on the link at the end of the transcript to watch the video story.
The Justice Department recently announced it uncovered more problems with the integrity of FBI wiretaps on American citizens. That after serious abuses were exposed in the FBI’s wiretapping of Carter Page, a former Trump campaign volunteer. Amid the scandal, some Democrats and Republicans are pressing to eliminate the secretive court put in place decades ago to fix previous abuses by U.S. intel officials. Today, George Croner is defending the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or FISA court. He’s a FISA expert at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and was a lawyer at the National Security Agency.
Croner: FISA was an outgrowth of intelligence abuses unearthed during congressional hearings in the 1970s. In particular, a couple of programs that were that operated without any judicial supervision or involvement whatsoever.
Sharyl: Give me one line on each program and the name of it because I think that’s interesting.
