Philly Mayor's Ban On Large Events "Does Not Apply" To Protests Or "Demonstrations"
Philadelphia Democratic Mayor James Kenney says his city-wide ban on large events and gatherings through February 2021 does not apply to protests.
"The city's office of special events will not accept, review, process or approve applications, issue permits or enter into agreements for special events or public gatherings of 50 people or more on public property through the end of February. The moratorium will apply to special events and public gatherings, including but not limited to festivals, parades, concerts, carnivals, fairs and flea markets," Kenney said during a coronavirus video update on Tuesday.
"In addition, permit applications for residential block permits will not be accepted until further notice. The timeline when such activities may resume will be communicated as soon as possible. To be clear, this hold on large public events does not, does not apply to demonstrations and First Amendment protected activities," he added.
ust the News reached out to the mayor's office to learn whether the city will issue formal permits for protests or demonstrations on municipal property during the large-event ban. The office did not respond before publication.
There have been many Black Lives Matter protests taking place in cities across the U.S. during the pandemic since the May 25 death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police. Some demonstrations have resulted in destructive protests marked by looting, vandalism and removal of statues from public grounds.
According to local media reports, Kenney recently waived "all protest-related code violations that were issued over the last month of protests in Philadelphia against systemic racial injustice."
“My decision to waive these violations is not a statement on the validity of the individual citations,” Kenney said in a statement.
“Rather, it is a recognition of the core concerns that caused thousands to demonstrate on the streets of Philadelphia. In waiving these notices, I recognize that those issues are vitally important, that the pain of those marching is very real, and that their message – Black lives matter – needs to be heard every day until systemic racism is fully eradicated from this city and nation.”

China Rocked By "Unprecedented" Surge In Bank Runs
At first, it was an unthinkable taboo - after all with a banking system that's twice as large as that of the US, the last thing Beijing wanted (or could afford) was doubts that the people's trillions in savings were safe as the alternative was not just a collapse of the financial sector but a breach of China's capital controls firewall as tens of millions scrambled to move their savings abroad, in the process obliterating the yuan. Then, starting in early 2019 after several banks quietly failed or were not so quietly nationalized…
… most notably the inner-Mongolia-based Baoshang Bank which was seized in the first state takeover since 1998, domestic confidence in China's banking system was suddenly - and perhaps irreparably - shaken, leading to scattered scenes such as these as depositor runs hammered several Chinese banks , forcing Beijing to unleash unprecedented damage control (and internet censorship) to keep the illusion that all is well.
Fast forward to today, when a confluence of the adverse trends that emerged in 2018 and 2019, coupled with the historic economic slowdown in China's economy, and accelerated by social media-fueled rumors about collapsing banks have sparked what Bloomberg called an "unprecedented" surge of bank runs, forcing regulators and even the police to step in to calm depositors.
According to Bloomberg, in just the past few weeks, worried savers have descended on three banks to withdraw funds amid rumors of cash shortages that were later dismissed as false.
Over the weekend customers rushed to a bank in the northern Hebei province to take out money, prompting local regulators to publicly vouch for the soundness of its lenders as the police halted the run.
Indeed, as Bloomberg adds, "after several bailouts and the first bank seizure in more than two decades last year, the coronavirus outbreak and its economic fallout have exacerbated an already shaky situation in the world’s largest banking system" leading to a sharp erosion of confidence in the $43 trillion banking system among the nation’s more than 1 billion account holders, threatening a cornerstone of China’s rise into an economic powerhouse.
"The perception Chinese savers had of banks being risk free is changing even though in nearly all recent cases their deposits have been protected," said China International Capital Corp analyst Zhang Shuaishuai.
"Once a rumor like this spreads, it brings immediate liquidity risk to a bank."
There is probably a reason for why these "rumors" have led to such a dramatic response: they merely bring to the surface whatever most already know, namely that behind its sterling facade, China's banking system is rotten to the core, with lies upon lies about trillions in non-performing loans…

CDC Reports that the China Coronavirus Mortality “Is Currently Below Pandemic Threshold”
The CDC now is reporting that the China coronavirus mortality is below a pandemic threshold. Will Democrats be celebrating this? Will the MSM report it?
The CDC is currently reporting on their website that the China coronavirus is no longer a pandemic – the mortality rate has fallen below the pandemic threshold:
Of course the Deep State CDC adds a caveat that this “will likely change as more death certificates are processed, particularly for recent weeks”.
It’s long past time to put this whole pandemic panic in check.
