Godless BLM Protest Mob Targets NY Church – Attacks Christians on Church Steps, Including Mother with Baby, Shouts Down Pastor Screaming “Black Lives Matter” During Sermon

We’re now witnessing the next wave of the destruction and breakdown of US society–

Christian churches are the latest target by the godless left.

This is very disturbing.

The mob targeted a Catholic prayer rally and beat several Catholics in St. Louis a week ago.

This past weekend the mob targeted a Troy, New York Church.

The BLM mob attacked Christians on the steps of the church and interrupted the sermon screaming profanities.

The BLM mob was screaming “We’re not here for violence!” as they dragged parishioners from the church steps!

The violent mob then went inside and screamed “Black Lives Matter!” during the sermon.

The BLM mob screamed at a young mother carrying a baby and walking with two young children into the church.

It appears the BLM mob has been targeting the church for several weeks now after they raffled a rifle.

Twitter Joins Facebook, Telegram In Denying User Data To Hong Kong Police

Update (1220ET): Twitter has joined Facebook and Telegram in standing up to the CCP, and running the risk of incurring the wrath of Beijing.

While corporate advertisers cut ties with Facebook over CEO Mark Zuckerberg's refusal to kowtow to American SJWs urging the company to step up its policing of 'hate speech' and conservative political thought, Facebook is suspending its processing of all requests from Hong Kong law enforcement for information made in accordance with the new National Security law recently enacted by Beijing.

Whatsapp and Facebook are "pausing" all such reviews “pending further assessment of the impact of the National Security Law, including formal human rights due diligence and consultations with human rights experts," a WhatsApp spokeswoman told the WSJ.

In the week since President Xi signed the law into effect, protesters who took to HK's streets in defiance are already being arrested and prosecuted under the law, which makes carrying pro-democracy or pro-independence 'signage', including the Hong Kong independence flag, a fixture at Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests last year.

While politicians, including many Republicans, have spoken out, American companies have been mostly silent on Hong Kong, probably fearing retaliation from the Chinese elite, who control access to the lucrative Chinese market. Facebook is the first social media company to implement such a brazen policy.

Reports emerged in WSJ earlier this morning that Facebook-owned Whatsapp, which is extremely popular in Hong Kong, would stop processing the requests. Facebook soon confirmed that the policy would be implemented company wide.

Facebook isn't the only company taking such an inhospitable stance toward Beijing's demands. Telegram, another popular messaging app, that, like Whatsapp, uses end-to-end encryption, is also refusing the process the nat sec law requests.

Minnesota Doctor who Revealed Hospitals Get Paid More for COVID-19 Patients Is Now Being Investigated by the State

In early April Senator Dr. Scott Jensen from Minnesota went on The Ingraham Angle to discuss how the CDC is encouraging American doctors to over-count coronavirus deaths across the US.

The document is here.

https://www.scribd.com/document/455607875/US-HHS-Document-to-Doctors-on-How-to-Certify-COVID-19-Deaths-including-Related-Deaths#from_embed

This was after Dr. Scott Jensen, a Minnesota physician and Republican state senator, told a local station he received a 7-page document coaching him to fill out death certificates with a COVID-19 diagnosis without a lab test to confirm the patient actually had the virus.

Dr. Jensen also disclosed that hospitals are paid more if they list patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis.

And hospitals get paid THREE TIMES AS MUCH if the patient then goes on a ventilator.

Senator Dr. Scott Jensen: Right now Medicare is determining that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get $39,000, three times as much. Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do.

China & India pull troops away, set up ‘buffer zone’ in Himalayas weeks after bloody border clash

China and India have moved their soldiers away from the site of a deadly June skirmish along the disputed border in the Himalayas, reports say. The news comes a day after senior officials agreed to expedite mutual disengagement.

Chinese soldiers have moved their tents and other structures away from the site of the bloody melee in the Galwan River valley that took place last month, Indian media reported, citing official sources. Indian troops are said to have pulled back as well, and a buffer zone was set up between the soldiers from both sides.

Indian military sources told AFP that that the disengagement of the Chinese troops began in accordance with the agreement reached during talks between high-ranking army officials from both countries.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi discussed the situation along the border with Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval over the phone on Sunday. They agreed to ensure the mutual disengagement of troops along the de facto border as soon as possible.

The neighbors have a longstanding border dispute in the Himalayas, and tensions occasionally lead to standoffs and skirmishes in the area, where both countries maintain a network of outposts.

The heightened situation began escalating in May and culminated in a dramatic June 15 melee, during which 20 Indian soldiers were killed. Beijing acknowledged that there were casualties on both sides but stopped short of releasing any numbers.

House Dems Move To Block All New Construction At Military Bases With Confederate Names

Congressional Democrats have just upped the ante in the debate over ten US military bases named after Confederate generals and a colonel.

"A House spending bill for military construction would block funding for projects at bases named after Confederate leaders unless the properties are in the process of being renamed," The Hill reports.

Prior George Floyd death protests and unrest across the nation, and the ongoing Black Lives Matter demonstrations, have brought the issue front and center, where discussions are said to be continuing among top Pentagon brass and in Congress, though the Trump administration has opposed the renaming of such iconic bases as Fort Bragg or For Hood, the latter for example named after Confederate General John Bell Hood.

The Hill describes further that bases named after historic Confederate leaders would see all construction funds halted:

The fiscal year 2021 appropriations bill for military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs would prohibit funding from going to military construction projects “located on a military installation bearing the name of a confederate officer, except in the case that a process to replace such names has been initiated,” according to draft text released by the House Appropriations Committee.

But President Trump has vowed to veto any defense spending bill that requires the bases to be renamed.

New Evidence Confirms China Lied – Current Coronavirus is Not New and Was Identified Back in 2014

Yet another stunning revelation about the true origin of COVID-19 – China Lied People Died!

Guest post by Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D.

In 2013, Zheng-Li Shi, the “bat woman,” and her team from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were asked to investigate the virus profile of a mine shaft in Yunnan Province after six miners contracted pneumonia with symptoms similar to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). [We were the first to report on Dr. Shi back in April.]

After sampling the mine shaft for a year, the researchers identified a diverse group of bat coronaviruses, one of which was designated RaBtCoV/4991 (GenBank KP876546) and partially sequenced as a 440-base pair fragment targeting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene (RdRp).

Despite being unique enough to be considered a new strain and associated with a human SARS-like outbreak as a Potential Pandemic Pathogen, thereafter, RaBtCoV/4991 disappeared from the scientific literature.

That is, until 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an intensive search for the origin of the coronavirus responsible, SARS-CoV-2.

In the February 3, 2020 Nature article, scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, led by Zheng-Li Shi, stated that the coronavirus RaTG13, isolated from bats in Yunnan Province, China, showed a 96.2% sequence identity with SARS-CoV-2 and, therefore, “RaTG13 is the closest relative” forming a distinct lineage from other coronaviruses and supporting China’s claim that SARS-CoV-2 is naturally-occurring.

A month later, on March 17, 2020, the article “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,” widely-cited by scientists and the media, supported the conclusion that RaTG13 is SARS-CoV-2’s closest relative, which likely “jumped” from animals to humans in the Wuhan Seafood Market.

It is important to note that, Ian Lipkin, one of the authors of “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,” the article supporting China’s claim that SARS-CoV-2 is naturally occurring, received a medal from the Chinese government in January, 2020.

It did not take long for doubts to appear about the validity of the RaTG13 argument or even its existence . We have now learned that RaTG13 existed only on paper. RaTG13 and RaBtCoV/4991 are the same virus.

The entire RaTG13 genome was first uploaded to the National Institutes of Health GenBank on January 27, 2020 and updated on March 24, 2020. In those filings, there is no mention of RaBtCoV/4991.

Yet, in a Chinese virus database, dated March 7, 2020 in the source code, RaTG13 and RaBtCoV/4991 are listed as being the same virus. It means that China knew early on that RaTG13 was not a unique coronavirus, but merely a duplicate of RaBtCoV/4991 and kept that important fact secret.

China has long implied that RaTG13 was only discovered in 2020 after the onset of the pandemic via a search of its coronavirus database.

That claim was echoed by Peter Daszak, President of the EcoHealth Alliance and long-time collaborator of the Wuhan Institute of Virology:

Treasury Releases Partial List Of Small Businesses That Took PPP Loans

A list of all companies which took PPP loans of $150,000 and above was disclosed on Monday by the Treasury Department and the Small Business Administration, after Democratic lawmakers demanded greater transparency surrounding the Paycheck Protection Program, according to CNBC.

The disclosure comes after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin initially suggested in June that PPP borrowers might remain anonymous.

Those loans represent nearly three-fourths of total loan dollars approved, but a far smaller proportion of the number of actual loans. About 87% of the loans were for less than $150,000, according to the SBA.

The SBA released other details about the program Monday, including:

It has approved 4.9 million loans for a total of more than $521 billion.

The program has about $132 billion in funding left over

The average loan is $107,000.

Companies reported that the funding supported more than 51 million jobs. But the businesses reported the total when they applied for loans, and it is unclear how many of those employees stayed on payroll. -CNBC

Companies participating in the program who maintain most of their payroll throughout the duration of the loan may convert the funds to a grant. In June, Congress passed a bill which lower the bar for converting the loans - reducing the amount a company must spend on payroll, while giving recipients a longer period of time to use the funds.

On Saturday, President Trump signed a temporary extension of PPP into law, moving the application deadline from Aug. 8 to June 30 - a move which both chambers of Congress voted to approve last week.

Miami-Dade mayor says BLM protests 'absolutely' had 'a lot to do with' the recent coronavirus spike

'Obviously the protests had a lot to do with it'

The Republican mayor of Miami-Dade County, Florida, said Sunday that Black Lives Matter protests were definitely a "contributing factor" in the recent surge of coronavirus cases in the county.

Speaking with CBS' "Face the Nation," Mayor Carlos Giménez said, "Obviously the protests had a lot to do with it."

"We had thousands of young people together outside, a lot of them not wearing masks, and we know that when you do that and you are talking, and you are chanting, et cetera, that really spreads the virus," he said. "So absolutely the protests had something to do with it."

“The protests certainly had a lot to do with it,” @MayorGimenez says of #covid spikes surrounding recent #BLM prote… https://t.co/WcADX9tblU

— Face The Nation (@Face The Nation)1593960873.0

The mayor did note, however, that the protests were likely not the only contributing factor, saying that residents who "let their guard down" also had something to do with the spike.

"So it's all of the above," he said. "I'm not saying it's just [protesting], but it was a contributing factor."

Miami-Dade County reported single-day highs of 2,418 new cases and 12 deaths on Saturday. On Sunday, the totals dropped only slightly with 2,282 new cases and 5 deaths reported, according to the Miami Herald. As of Sunday, Miami-Dade's total pandemic counts are 47,011 cases and 1,043 deaths.

The county's uptick is reflective of the state of Florida as a whole, which surpassed 200,000 total cases following the influx of new cases reported over the weekend. Several states across the country have experienced similar surges.

In the interview, Giménez suggested that the rapid rise of younger people testing positive for the virus and being hospitalized in the county in mid-June indicated that increased socializing and protests were responsible for the surge.

Many have suggested that the mass protests against racial injustice which erupted across the country following George Floyd's death in late May would lead to the further spread of the virus and have been suspicious of a recent study which concluded there was "no evidence" that such was the case.

After all, America's top infectious diseases expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, warned in early June that mass protests were "a perfect set-up for the spread of the virus."

Yet despite enforcing strict lockdowns on businesses and churches in the early stages of the pandemic, state and local leaders did comparatively little to stop mass protests in the name of public health. In some cases, public health experts and state and local leaders openly supported the protests in the face of health risks.

South Florida Underreported Coronavirus Cases Drive Down Death Rate, CDC Data Suggests

The actual number of coronavirus cases in South Florida as of April 10 was 11 times higher than initially reported, a recent U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study that tested for antibodies revealed.

That revelation suggests more people have contracted the virus without dying, which means the infection (or true) fatality rate (IFR) may be lower than initially believed.

CDC’s findings, last updated on June 26, drove the number of coronavirus cases in South Florida as of April 10 up from over 10,500 to an estimated 117,400.

That means the IFR, which takes into account asymptomatic cases, was lower than earlier projections, standing at less than one percent (0.19 – 0.6) as of the end of April, down from at least two percent before the CDC study.

The CDC study covered the South Florida counties of Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Martin.

Breitbart News relied on COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) confirmed cases and death figures for those countries provided by the Johns Hopkins University tracker.

Using the new CDC and Johns Hopkins data, Breitbart News calculated that South Florida’s death rate was no more than 0.6 as of May 1, down over 80 percent from an estimated 3.6 before the antibodies study.

That mortality rate is between three and eight times lower than the earlier estimates — of two to four percent — that prompted the lockdowns

The 0.6 IFR takes into account the three-week lag, a conservative estimate, between the identification of a COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) infection and when the infected dies.

When taking the data at face value, without accounting for the time it takes for an individual to progress from being diagnosed to dying, Breitbart News determined the death rate was even lower — 0.19 percent.

In comparison, the flu’s death rate in the United State is 0.1 percent on average. Not all fatality rate estimates account for the estimated time between infection and death.

The 0.19 percent mortality rate (without accounting for the lag between infection and death), as of April 10, is down about 90 percent from about two percent before the CDC study.

According to the CDC data, the coronavirus mortality rate could be higher than the average flu, at least in South Florida.

While the number of coronavirus cases (excluding mild and asymptomatic infections) has significantly risen in Florida in recent weeks, the number of deaths has remained fairly stable, lower than the peak in May.

That again suggests more people are contracting COVID-19 without succumbing to it.

However, as explained before, there is a lag between infection and deaths, so the fatalities could increase in the next three weeks.

Florida, the third most populous state in America, has become one of the hardest-hit by COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.

This report only focused on the IFR, which tends to be lower than the crude (or case) fatality ratio that excludes people with no symptoms and only focuses on the reported number of confirmed coronavirus cases.

Health experts believe the IFR is a more accurate representation of the real mortality rate.

Besides South Florida, the CDC antibodies study covered other U.S. regions.

Supreme Court: States Can Punish ‘Faithless Electors’; Unanimous Decision

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that states may punish “faithless electors” — those members of the Electoral College who refuse to cast their ballots for the candidate whom the majority of voters in the state have chosen.

As Breitbart News recounted in May, the issue arose in earnest after the 2016 election, when opponents of President-elect Donald Trump attempted to convince enough electors to change sides or cast their ballots for other candidates to prevent Trump from actually taking office:

Chiafalo v. Washington … [is] a case involving three presidential electors in the State of Washington who were fined $1,000 after casting their Electoral College votes for Colin Powell rather than Hillary Clinton.

The electors challenged their fine and were represented by Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig — who ran for president himself in 2016, and tried to recruit electors to defect rather than voting for Donald Trump after the 2016 vote.

…

Lessig agreed that the states can ask electors to pledge to vote for a certain candidate, but cannot fine them for doing so, arguing that presidential elections are a federal function.

The arguments on both sides took an originalist form, as the two sides argued about the original intent of the Framers in setting up the Electoral College.

Justice Elena Kagan, writing for the Court, concluded:

Article II and the Twelfth Amendment give States broad power over electors, and give electors themselves no rights. Early in our history, States decided to tie electors to the presidential choices of others, whether legislatures or citizens. Except that legislatures no longer play a role, that practice has continued for more than 200 years. Among the devices States have long used to achieve their object are pledge laws, designed to impress on electors their role as agents of others. A State follows in the same tradition if, like Washington, it chooses to sanction an elec- tor for breaching his promise. Then too, the State instructs its electors that they have no ground for reversing the vote of millions of its citizens. That direction accords with the Constitution—as well as with the trust of a Nation that here, We the People rule.

Justice Clarence Thomas issued a concurring opinion in which he said the basis of the Court’s decision should not have been Article II, but the Tenth Amendment, which reserves all powers and right to the states not expressly given to the federal government — including the power to patrol electors.

FARRELL: Benghazi Terror Attacks Led To Crossfire Hurricane

In the last week, Judicial Watch released eighty new pages of documents relating to the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. government facilities in Benghazi, Libya, in which Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed. The new release shows top Obama White House officials scrambling to “evolve” their false claims that the attack began “spontaneously” in response to an anti-Muslim YouTube video. This was part of a coordinated campaign to “reinforce” President Obama and to portray the Benghazi consulate terrorist attack as being “rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy.”

The Benghazi lie was pushed heavily by then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice, who was dispatched to five Sunday morning political talk shows to peddle the YouTube video falsehood. Meanwhile, then-Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, then-NSC spokesman Tommy Vietor, and then-Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan were joking about how clever they had sold their damage control to a credulous press corps.

An official whose name is redacted writes, “Everyone know [sic] Susan was using not just [Intelligence Community] approved guidance, but IC created.” Rhodes jokes to Sullivan and the redacted officials, “At least you’re only a liar. Could be worse – we’re liars and also allegedly leakers.” “We’re only lying footsoldiers,” Sullivan replies. “You’re lying masterminds. That’s cooler.”

“I prefer that we go by henchmen,” a redacted official riffs. “Has more of a Marvel comic sinisterness to it.” He then jokes about the need for a cable TV show called “The Biggest Liar” where the contestants wear polygraphs under questioning. “It could be worse,” Rhodes writes, “You could be a career bureaucrat whose greatest thrill in life is leaking half-truths, self-justifications and outright lies to the likes of Eli Lake, Kim Dozier, and whoever picks up the phone at Fox News.” They also discuss long-term plans for releasing an “evolving assessment” of the attack “which happens to be true (unlike just about everything else we’ve seen reported on Benghazi.)”

The level of smug arrogance revealed in these emails is beyond anything we have yet seem from the remarkably condescending Obama team. It is also important to note the complete emotional detachment from the tragedy that took place, the deaths of four Americans at the hands of terrorists, and the pain and grief suffered by their families. Not only were these swamp dwellers lying about what happened, they were inordinately proud of themselves for getting away with it.
