Navy Ship Names Could Fall Under Pentagon's New Diversity Review

The names of U.S. warships could face new scrutiny in coming months as the Pentagon moves forward with a military-wide effort to target racial bias and prejudice in the ranks.

A Defense Department-wide review to improve inclusion and diversity will likely not only look at military installation names, but those of Navy vessels too.

"While I cannot speak for these three groups of leaders who will provide recommendations to the [defense secretary], I would personally expect that at least one of these groups will make specific recommendations regarding the naming of bases and ships," Christopher Garver, a Pentagon spokesman, told Navy Times.

Lisa Lawrence, a Defense Department spokeswoman, said Wednesday that Defense Secretary Mark Esper is moving forward quickly, but deliberately, in setting up the groups that will examine military issues related to diversity.

Like Army installations named for Confederate leaders, the names of at least two Navy ships have been called into question in recent weeks as the country grapples with ongoing protests for an end to racism and police brutality.

Retired Lt. Cmdr. Reuben Keith Green recently laid out his case for renaming the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis in this month's U.S. Naval Institute's Proceedings magazine. Green acknowledged in his piece that the conversation over the carrier's name would be an uncomfortable one, and asked readers to conduct research on the longtime senator before dismissing his argument.

"Stennis's record championing white supremacy is long," Green wrote. "… Most sailors and Navy leaders have little idea of his background, but the Navy, as an institution, has a moral obligation to know. And, it should act."

Stennis opposed Black equality, spending his entire career as a Mississippi prosecutor, judge and state senator "attempting to ensure it did not happen," Green wrote.

The nationwide debate has also resurrected questions over why the Navy has a guided-missile cruiser named for the Battle of Chancellorsville, which the Confederacy won. When Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday announced on social media earlier this month that he directed his staff to craft an order that would ban the Confederate battle flag from all public spaces and work areas aboard Navy bases, ships, aircraft and submarines, one former sailor said renaming the Chancellorsville should be next.

"I never loved the fact that I was serving on a ship named after a Confederate-won battle," the sailor wrote. "What a strange message. Her crew has always deserved better."

India’s Hinduja Brothers Locked In Legal Battle Over Family’s $11 Billion Fortune

The four Hinduja brothers are Srichand, Gopichand, Prakash and Ashok

In 2018 Gopichand, Prakash and Ashok – tried wrest control of the Swiss-based Hinduja Bank

Srichand reportedly suffers from Lewy Body disease, a form of dementia

Members of one of India’s wealthiest families – the Hindujas – are locked in a legal battle that may determine the fate of the family’s $11 billion fortune.

At the crux of the dispute is a letter from 2014 – signed by the four Hinduja brothers – which declared that assets held by one brother will belong to all four siblings, and that each brother can appoint the others as their executors.

The four Hinduja brothers are Srichand, Gopichand, Prakash and Ashok.

However, now the eldest brother Srichand, the 84-year-old patriarch of the family, and his daughter, Vinoo, want the letter to be declared legally worthless. They have gone to court to England to sue the other three brothers.

On Tuesday, the judge in London ruled that in the summer of 2018 the three other brothers Gopichand, 80, Prakash, 75, and Ashok, 69, tried to use the 2014 letter to wrest control of the Swiss-based Hinduja Bank – an asset that was held solely in Srichand’s name.

Srichand and Vinoo want the court to rule that the letter cannot be used as a will or a legal document and should be revoked. Srichand also said the four brothers’ assets should be separated.

In response, the three other brothers said Srichand’s and Vinoo’s actions “go against our founder’s and family’s values,” especially the idea that “everything belongs to everyone and nothing belongs to anyone."

“We intend to defend the claim to uphold these dearly held family values," the three brothers added.

This other brothers have also objected to having Vinoo represent her father in the court proceedings.

They alleged that Vinoo “has her own separate financial interest in pursuing the proceedings,” and instead “an independent professional or the official solicitor” should represent Srichand.

However, the judge in the case, Justice Mrs Falk, validated Vinoo as her father’s litigation representative in court, agreeing that the elderly Srichand “does not have the capacity to conduct these proceedings due to age-related disease.”

Srichand reportedly suffers from Lewy Body disease, a form of dementia.

Prepare for Fearful Masses: Toilet Paper Panic Buying Returns As People Fall For “Second Wave”

The mainstream media continues to do its job well. The mass panic among the public is rising yet again in the aftermath of the fake “second wave” being perpetrated by the mainstream media at the commands of their handlers in the government.

We have been warning that there would be another wave of this scamdemic, real or not, in order to keep the public dumbed down in a panicked state of fear. People are much easier to control if they are terrified, and it seems like many are falling for the scam once again. As the MSM continues to report on a rise in cases and new outbreaks and “clusters” of the coronavirus, the panic buying of toilet paper has returned to places such as Australia.

According to a report by The Guardian, Victoria has reintroduced limits on purchases in supermarkets and has called in the military as a spike in Covid-19 cases over the past week has placed renewed pressure on testing facilities, and sparked a rush on supermarkets for supplies.

A Victorian government spokeswoman confirmed state officials had asked the commonwealth to provide more than 300 Australian Defence Force troops. Of those, a small amount will be delegated to quarantine hotels. Defense support is already being used at quarantine hotels in New South Wales. So far, Victoria has relied on police to ensure returned travelers remain in mandatory isolation for 14 days. –The Guardian

It sure looks like this is build up to martial law. Bringing in the troops (yes, this is Australia) to “help” with an outbreak is absolutely ludicrous, especially considering the whole thing is a scam to help bring in the New World Order.

Agenda 21 Requires Martial Law

Coronavirus Panic & Fear: The Greatest Mainstream Media Hoax In History

Fears about further virus spread and renewed lockdowns has prompted a renewed round of panic-buying, prompting Woolworths to once again impose purchase limits in Victoria previously implemented across Australia early in the pandemic. –The Guardian

The media chooses words such a “panic” and “fear” on purpose because that’s the state they want your mind in. It’s difficult, but we all need to rise above this panic. We’ve made preparations, so there’s no reason to be afraid. Double, and triple check your preps and make sure you’ve got what you need. I noticed the cost of Quick Clot has already gone up. If you need some, now is the time to stock up.

Air Force Takes First Step to Buy Maternity Flight Suits

The U.S. Air Force has taken the first step in seeking new female maternity flight suits.

In a request for information solicitation posted on the government's acquisition and awards website, the service's Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is asking companies to identify themselves if they have the means to make the garments.

While the Air Force is not requesting ideas or proposals at this time, the RFI could lead to a contract award in the future, according to the solicitation. The service does not currently have a formal maternity flight suit.

Vendors wishing to be considered must be capable of producing "400 flight suits to be delivered within 6 months of contract award," the RFI states.

Qualified vendors also must meet certain criteria in the suit's development and distribution: The suits need to be flame resistant and can be one- or two-piece. The company ought to have the ability to ship flight suits directly to pilots and crew members within one week of placing orders, it said.

Fabrics will also be assessed on moisture wicking, fast drying, breathability, stretchiness, stability and health toxicity, among other factors, AFLCMC said. Colors must match the current Air Force sage green, and Army and Air Force tan/coyote brown patterns, it said.

Responses are due by July 6.

Last year, the Air Force announced it had begun allowing some female pilots to stay in the cockpit longer while pregnant without need of a medical waiver.

The change applied to remotely piloted aircrew, missile operations duty crews and certain fully qualified pilot positions without additional restrictions put on their time in service, the Air Force said last September.

Previously, all female Air Force pilots were removed from flight duty after they confirmed their pregnancy, according to spokeswoman Capt. Carrie Volpe. That included drone pilots who work in operations facilities on the ground.

Women would have to file extensive paperwork for a waiver just to be allowed duty time between weeks 1 and 34 of pregnancy, Volpe said at the time.

Similarly, under the old policy, fully qualified pilots who flew dual-seat, non-ejection aircraft –

Pelosi Spreads Dangerous Misinformation, Claims President Trump Urging People to “Inject Lysol and Drink Bleach”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday spread dangerous misinformation and claimed President Trump is urging people to “inject Lysol and drink bleach.”

President Trump in April during a presser was referring to discussions of testing ultraviolet light on patients and possibly using the light inside the body. “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it [the virus] out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning, cause you see it gets in the lungs.”

So Pelosi once again twisted President Trump’s words and took him out of context.

“Trump and Republicans still don’t have a plan – unless you count trying to destroy our health care in the courts while urging us to inject Lysol and drink bleach.” Pelosi’s team tweeted on Wednesday in response to the Trump Administration’s efforts in the courts to dismantle Obamacare.

This isn’t the first time Pelosi has spread this lie amid the Coronavirus panic.

“The president is asking people to inject Lysol into their lungs and Mitch was saying that states should go bankrupt. It’s a clear, visible within 24 hours of how the Republicans reject science and reject governance,” Pelosi said back in April.

While they are mocking Trump for suggesting light therapy, bio-tech firm Aytu BioScience announced they are partnering with the FDA and Cedars-Sinai on a UV light treatment to kill the coronavirus in intubated patients.

Where are Twitter’s fact-checkers to red-flag Pelosi’s dangerous tweet?

Trump suggests Obama, Biden, Comey should apologizes to Flynn after court says end his case

The president has long held the case against Flynn was bias

President Trump is suggesting that former President Obama and others in his administration apologize to former national security adviser Michael Flynn after a federal appeals court on Wednesday ordered the presiding judge to effectively end the case.

Flynn had reached a deal with a federal prosecutor in which he pleaded guilty to making false statements in connection with a now-discredited FBI probe into whether the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

However, Flynn attempted to vacate his plea earlier this year after the release of declassified documents showed the FBI agents had broken protocol in interviewing him about conversations with the U.S. ambassador to Russia.

“Is James Comey and his band of Dirty Cops going to apologize to General Michael Flynn (and many others) for what they have done to ruin his life? What about Robert Mueller and his Angry Democrat Cronies - Are they going to say, SO SORRY? And what about Obama & Biden?,” Trump tweeted Wednesday.

Attorney General William Barr asked the presiding judge, Emmett Sullivan, to end the Justice Department case. Sullivan instead asked a retired judge to review the case before making a decision on Barr's request. Sullivan prior to Wednesday's court ruling had scheduled a July hearing as the next step in the matter.

Newborn triplets positive to COVID-19 despite parents not being infected

Mexican health authorities are trying to understand how a set of newborn triplets became infected with the coronavirus even though neither one of their parents tested positive for the virus.

Health authorities called the case "unheard of".

The triplets, a girl and two boys, were tested four hours after being born last week in the central state of San Luis Potosi, health authorities said.

Initially, health authorities said the mother was believed to be an asymptomatic carrier of the virus.

But her tests later showed that neither she nor the father were infected.

"The parents' results are negative, which catches our attention," said Monica Rangel, secretary of health for the state.

"We specifically requested since yesterday… that a group of experts investigates the case."

Pentagon Produces List Of 20 Chinese Firms 'Backed By China's Military

Since last year the Department of Defense and other federal agencies have had a ban in effect on Chinese made surveillance cameras and tech believed tied to the Chinese government, with the The National Defense Authorization Act of the past two years including amendments and language ensuring federal agencies are prevented from purchasing surveillance cameras which Beijing could use for spying.

With major firms like Huawei, Dahua, Hikvision, and others already under US military and intelligence scrutiny and spotlight for China potentially using them for 'Trojan Horse' type surveillance activity in the US, the Pentagon is about to release a bombshell which will no doubt further escalate tensions between Beijing and the White House.

Reuters reports the Pentagon has cleared for public release its list of companies it deems owned or controlled by China's military.

According to the breaking report:

The Trump administration has determined that top Chinese firms, including telecoms equipment giant Huawei Technologies and video surveillance company Hikvision, are owned or controlled by the Chinese military, laying the groundwork for new U.S. financial sanctions, according to a document seen by Reuters on Wednesday.

In total the list is said to include 20 companies under the aegis of China's PLA:

The list of 20 companies that Washington alleges are backed by the People’s Liberation Army also includes China Mobile Communications Group and China Telecommunications Corp as well as aircraft manufacturer Aviation Industry Corp of China. A U.S. defense official speaking on condition of anonymity confirmed the authenticity of the document and said it had been sent to Congress.

Axios later in the day Wednesday obtained the list and published it:

What's more is that it's seen as paving the way for further US sanctions and financial restrictions aimed at disrupting the companies ability to do business in the United States and in the West more broadly.

Cops bust man in the act of painting 'slave owner' on George Washington statue in Manhattan park in broad daylight

Not just Confederate statues any more

As protests and riots have expanded across the country, so have the targets of demonstrators' ire.

First, rioters went after police-related items, especially precincts and cop cars.

Then their attention turned to Confederate flags and statues, as well as memorials to Christopher Columbus.

Now their list of unacceptable structures includes those dedicated to abolitionists, Founding Fathers, generals who defeated the Confederate South, and emancipators — and even a famous progressive president.

The most recent example reportedly occurred in Manhattan's Union Square Park where police say they busted a 37-year-old man Wednesday in the act of defacing the park's statue of George Washington in broad daylight, the New York Post reported.

According to the cops, the suspect was caught just shortly before noon writing "slave owner" on the statue and had bottles of paint, cans of spray paint, and multiple brushes.

The suspect, Richard Maye, the Post said, has been charged with "two counts of making graffiti, criminal mischief and other misdemeanor graffiti charges." According to the paper, Maye did not respond to requests for comment.

Efforts to to deface or tear down statues dedicated to American figures has grown exponentially over the last few weeks — often without apparent regard for the subject of the memorial.

For example, rioters in Washington, D.C., went after the Emancipation Memorial of Abraham Lincoln on Tuesday night and threatened to pull the "motherf***er" down on Thursday night. The memorial, which shows former President Lincoln and a free slave, was built in 1876 and paid for entirely by freed slaves who wanted to honor the man who signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Frederick Douglass, a former slave and friend of Lincoln, gave the keynote speech at the memorial's dedication.

The State: The Deadliest Virus

The deadliest virus is the institutionalized coercion which lies in the very DNA of the state and may even initially permit a government to deny the outbreak of a pandemic. Evidence has been suppressed, and heroic scientists and doctors have been harassed and silenced simply because they were the first to realize and expose the gravity of the problem. As a result, weeks and months have been lost, at an enormous cost: hundreds of thousands of people have died due to the worldwide spread of an epidemic which, in the beginning, the shamefully manipulated official statistics made appear less dangerous than it actually was.

The deadliest virus is the existence of cumbersome bureaucracies and supranational organizations, which did not manage or wish to monitor in situ the reality of the situation, but instead endorsed the information received, while offering constant support and even praising—and thus becoming accessories to—all the coercive policies and measures adopted.

The deadliest virus is the notion that the state can guarantee our public health and universal welfare, when economic science has demonstrated the theoretical impossibility of the central planner’s giving a coherent and coordinating quality to the coercive commands it issues in its attempt to achieve its pompous objectives. This impossibility is due to the huge volume of information and knowledge which such a task would require and which the planning agency lacks. It is also, and primarily, due to the fact that the institutional coercion typical of the agency impacts the social body of human beings, who alone are capable of coordinating themselves (and do so spontaneously) and creating wealth. Such coercion prevents the emergence of precisely the firsthand knowledge the state needs to bring about coordination with its commands. This theorem is known as the impossibility of economic calculation under socialism. Mises and Hayek discovered the theorem in the 1920s, and the events of world history cannot be understood without it.

The deadliest virus is the dependency and complicity shown toward the state by countless scientists, experts, and intellectuals. When authorities are drunk with power, this symbiosis leaves a manipulated civil society unarmed and defenseless. For instance, the Spanish government itself urged citizens to take part in mass demonstrations of hundreds of thousands of people while the virus was already spreading exponentially. Then, just four days later, the decision was announced to declare a state of alarm and coercively confine the entire population to their homes.

Trump Jr. Says Explosive Docs Show 'Joe Biden Got Caught Red-Handed Setting Up Gen. Flynn'

Explosive documents just released in the court case against General Michael Flynn show that it was Joe Biden who suggested they set up the three star general to get him fired or worse from the Trump Administration.

The latest jaw dropping documents, reportedly part of the case, show a hand written note by notorious former FBI investigator Peter Strzok whose meeting notes from January 4, 2017 showed three explosive points:

1. Joe Biden suggested the Obama Administration get Flynn on the pretext of the Logan Act

2. Former President Obama ordered that “the right people” be put on the case of General Flynn

3. Former FBI Chief Jim Comey said Flynn’s discussions with the Russian Ambassador “appear legit.”

The next day, on January 5th, President Obama, Biden, former National Security Adviser Susan Rice clued-in Acting Attorney General Sally Yates to the plan.

‘Joe Biden Caught Red Handed’

Donald Trump, Jr. blasted on Twitter that the Strzok note showed Biden was “caught red-handed.”

BREAKING: @JoeBiden caught red-handed setting up @GenFlynn. He suggested using the Logan Act.

Comey said Flynn’s calls with Kislyak “appear legit.”

Biden & Obama tried subverting democracy/peaceful transition of power to destroy him & compromise the Trump admin!

‘Very Troubling’

Former Acting Director of National Intelligence and former Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell says the note said more than that. He said that the documents also show that Susan Rice’s odd cover-your-ass email to herself in the last hours of the Obama Administration were phony.

This is very troubling. The Susan Rice email to herself clearly didn’t give an accurate portrayal of the meeting. The “right people” is fundamentally different than “by the book”.

Imagine that, the investigation into Flynn’s “legit” discussions with Russian Ambassador Kislyak that was part of the Russia! Russia! Russia! scam is also a scam by the Obama Administration.

And Joe Biden helped plan the fraud.

This election just keeps getting more interesting all the time.

President of Kosovo Hashim Thaci indicted on war crime charges related to country's war of independence

Kosovo's President Hashim Thaci has been indicted on war crimes charges, including murder, along with nine other former separatist fighters.

The charges were laid by a court investigating crimes during and after Kosovo's 1998-99 independence war with Serbia.

A statement from the special prosecutor of the Kosovo Specialist Chamber issued on Wednesday (local time) alleged that Mr Thaci and the other suspects "are criminally responsible for nearly 100 murders" of political opponents and Kosovar Albanian, Serb and Roma victims.

The Chamber was set up in The Hague in 2015 to examine the events that took place.

The indictment is "the result of a lengthy investigation and reflects the SPO's (Special Prosecutor's Office) determination that it can prove all of the charges beyond a reasonable doubt," an SPO statement said.

Specific details of the alleged crimes were withheld.

The SPO said "others" had also been indicted including Kadri Veseli, a former speaker of Kosovo's Parliament.

Both men are former top commanders in the KLA and have previously denied involvement in any war crimes during the late 1990s conflict.

Duo alleged to have run a 'secret campaign' to avoid justice

It was also alleged that Mr Thaci and Mr Veseli "carried out a secret campaign to overturn the law that created the court" and that they did so "in an attempt to ensure that they do not face justice".

There was no immediate response from Mr Thaci.

However later on Wednesday his office confirmed he cancelled a trip to the White House for a planned first round of US-mediated talks with Serbia on normalising relations — among conditions the European Union has set for either country to join the bloc.
