The Target of the Chaos Is Trump—and You!
The Target of the Chaos Is Trump—and You! Video of The Target of the Chaos Is Trump—and You! The antidote to the demoralization of the American people, hit by an economic collapse and a pandemic, is a "future-oriented policy", exemplified by the space launch last Saturday. Instead, the City of London/Wall Street networks behind the repeated efforts to remove President Trump—especially to stop his efforts to cooperate with Russia's Putin—are using the chaos of the riots in the cities to divert your attention away from the solution presented in LPAC's new program for productive jobs... more »

NY Mayor de Blasio Refuses to Call National Guard After Looting and Cop Beatings
Over 700 looters were arrested, but more than 400 were immediately released without bail.

Pallets of Bricks Delivered to Numerous US Cities – Evidence of Pre-Riot Organization!
In cities around the US, pallets of bricks have been delivered to riot locations. There is no construction in these areas, so it is logical to conclude that they are being provided for rioters to break windows. This is further proof of a well funded organized operation. These are not mere "protesters".

*Veronica Shleina* *Society, * In China, where the pandemic hit first, media reports are already suggesting a spike in divorce filings. The coronavirus pandemic has put new pressures on relationships and many are feeling the strain. With families locked in houses, schools closed and job losses on the horizon, it’s perhaps inevitable that this unusual time will cause many people to re-evaluate or end their relationships.

Why Deepening Financial Stress Will Make the Coronavirus Harder to Contain
*David Salkever* *Coronavirus, Americas* Those feeling the most financial stress are much less likely to seek medical care if they experience coronavirus symptoms. Preventing deaths from COVID-19 depends on people who get it seeking treatment – which also allows authorities to track down whom they came in contact with to reduce spread. But, as the economic pain and joblessness caused by the statewide lockdowns continue to grow, more Americans are experiencing severe strains on their personal finances. This threatens our ability to contain the pandemic because those feeling the m... more »
How the Postal Service Helped Stamp American Identity
*Amy Werbel* *History, Americas* The postal service delivers a common bond that has helped shape American society for more than 250 years. Americans overwhelmingly support a federal bailout for the cash-starved United States Postal Service. They view the USPS as a vital civic institution – one that despite a crisis brought on by massive debts and falling revenue continues to reliably deliver medicine, communications and absentee ballots that allow Americans to vote safely during the coronavirus pandemic. Equally important, the postal service delivers a common bond that has helpe... more »
How TikTok Became Political
*Penny CS Andrews* *Politics, United Kingdom* Political activists adapt existing TikTok memes and trends. TikTok, the viral video sharing platform, has been one of the biggest hits of lockdown. Content that originated on the app, like nurses dancing in UK hospitals, has jumped to mainstream TV coverage. TikTok even put its first ad on UK television, made in isolation. TikTok’s user base has grown rapidly over the lockdown period, with 315 million downloads in the first quarter of 2020. It is not difficult to see why it has found its lockdown niche: the infinite scroll of content ... more »
Tech giants, fake news media in PANIC over Trump’s targeting of Sec. 230;
This item gives you a good grasp of just how big the censorship fight has become. All of this is in order to protect the products of lucritive protocols, often peddling twisted science. Most commonly, they offer their product however useful ,but also systematically attack altetrnatives with twisted science as well. This obviously avoids regulatory scrutiny. Now thousands of independent rersearchers, many of whom are just as skilled in the science can challenge them on the public stage and science fraud can be exposed to real court actions. Remember that no one escapes the meta... more »
In 1979, China Was Crushed in a War with Vietnam. What Happened Next Is Shocking.
The initial incursion by China in 1979 was roughly handled by the Vietnamese army and soon ended with thousands of cadsulties. I had actually thought that was largely it. Turns out that hte PLA continiued incusions at the bridage and division level for over ten more years. It is clear that the incentive was to actually train their own troops. Like having an unwilling sparring partner. All this means that the PLA does have a cadre of battle hardened NCOs from that era and obviously a much improved training doctrine. I now strongly suspect that they are trying to trigger a borde... more »
Who were worse, the English colonizers or the Spanish colonizers?
A lot of useful information in this item on topics i have discussed long ago. I do think that the population of the americas before contact or at least at it maxima perhaps centuries earlier was a high fraction of 100,000,000. The post contact population collapse was severe, but also seriously underestimates the impact of slaving operations in the first century after contact and before English settlement during the seventeenth century. Throw in the then steady influx of Irish 'slaves' and we have a growing gene pool intermarrying with native women. All this led to much larger g... more »
George Floyd’s autopsy
The narritive regarding floyd's death was been muddied. This item sets it all straight. By itself it was unfortunate and there is plenty of bad training in evidence which also does not help. What is particularly disturbing is the contrived insurection immediately launched by the so called radical left. One wonders how they were so prescient. Or could this have been all contrived? what is certainly contrived is the faux rioting with agitators imported to the scene. All this will trigger the final resolution of the Antifa operation. The Cop did kill the man and failed to pro... more »
Should We Really Have Shut Down a Week Earlier?
By Ian Ayres, Yair Listokin, Robert Schonberger, and Zachary Shelley Sacrifice lives or sacrifice the economy? Since Covid-19 reared its ugly head in the US, policymakers have confronted this grisly dilemma. A blockbuster study drives the point home. If we had shut the economy down just one week earlier this March, 36,000 lives would have been saved. Does this research indicate that we should have sacrificed the economy down one week earlier? The researchers certainly think so, emphasizing “the importance of early intervention and aggressive response.” The Trump administration’s def... more »

George Floyd and Ian Tomlinson — A tale of two police killings
In spite of the hysteria generated over the killings of black Americans, as pointed out here recently the police kill more whites than blacks, far more.

Here as […] More The post George Floyd and Ian Tomlinson — A tale of two police killings appeared first on The Duran.

Coronavirus: Why the Death Tolls in New York and San Francisco Are So Different

Life-and-Death Effects of Racism in the U.S. Go Far Beyond Police Shootings
*Shervin Assari* *Health, America* Discrimination and racism are root causes of depression, anxiety, substance use and suicide, as well as poor physical health. High-profile police shootings and deaths of black men in custody – or even while out jogging – bring cries of racism across the country. The May 25 death of George Floyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis and the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick, Georgia on Feb. 23, 2020 by a white father and son have resulted in outrage and protests in cities across the U.S. But, as a public health researcher who studi... more »

"The Post-Covid Economy Will Be Very Different From the Pre-Pandemic Bubble Economy"
*"The Post-Covid Economy Will Be Very Different * *From the Pre-Pandemic Bubble Economy"* by Charles Hugh Smith "Unstable, unsustainable systems can lull observers into a comfy complacency as instability increases beneath a thin veneer of apparent stability. That's the systemic story of the past 20 years: all the extremes that were needed to maintain the veneer of stability have increased the instability building beneath the complacent confidence. But sadly for the status quo, all bubbles pop, all extremes revert to the mean and all that is unsustainable implodes as apparently line... more »
