Americans Skip Millions of Payments in Aftermath of Government-Imposed Lockdowns
The worst is yet to come. Americans have skipped payments on more than 100 million student loans, auto loans, and other forms of debt in the aftermath of the government’s impoverishment of almost everyone.
This appears to be the beginning of the end of the central banking Ponzi scheme hoisted on the USSA over a century ago. Make no mistake, the elitists that are pulling the strings will do everything in their power to force us all to use a centralized digital global currency that they will have complete and total access to. It’s imperative that people wake up and never allow a centralized form of currency to infect a society again.

“Second Wave” Panic Explodes: Facemasks Become Signs of Those Living in Fear
The mainstream media, at the requests of the government, is busy making sure to shove the “fear” of a second wave of the coronavirus down the throats of the masses. As they insist we should all be panicked, some are, and you can see it in the symbol of the facemask.
James Corbett of The Corbet Report describes the face masks as a political statement. It has become a telltale sign that a person is buying the official narrative, even to their own detriment. The masks have been shown to do little if anything to protect from a virus that has been determined to be far less deadly than the flu in healthy individuals. SO why are so many strangling their own oxygen supply to comply?

Appeals Court Rejects California Law That Prevented IMDb Listing Actors’ Ages, Cites Free Speech
to remove the age of actors has been deemed unlawful by a federal appeals court. The purpose of the law was supposedly to fight age discrimination in Hollywood.
We’ve been following this free speech case for some time and have a copy of the decision for you here.
The legislation was passed in 2017 and lobbied for by the Screen Actors Guild. During the passing of the law, the legislature referenced a case of alleged age discrimination affecting actress Maggie Gyllenhaal. In an interview, Gyllenhaal explained how she was rejected for a role because a producer thought, at 37, she was too old to play a part of a romantic-interest to a 55-year old male character.

As each day goes on the rationale gets murkier.
But the Department of Justice shows it’s now willing will prosecute antifa for moving across state lines for rioting.

These European laws require social media platforms to remove “hate speech” within 24 hours and France’s hate speech laws were, on the same day of Wojcicki’s statement, deemed to be so “unnecessary, inappropriate, and disproportionate” that they were slapped down by its “supreme court”.

Germany’s Hate Speech Law Gets Stricter, Raises Privacy Concerns
Despite already having some of the strictest laws in the world surrounding “hate speech,” Germany is looking to tighten the leash further where it comes to social media. The new provision, when passed, will require online platforms to directly report to the federal police when any criminal activity is reported by users on these platforms.
Germany already established the Network Enforcement Act (known as NetzDG law) back in 2017, which requires social media platforms to monitor any hate speech content in under twenty hours. Else, hefty fines in the order of €50M may follow. (France tried to pass a similar law but it was struck down as being unconstitutional this week.)

Iranian Mediation Intensifies as Russia and Turkey Put Off Crucial Talks
by Nidal Kabalan
Iranian diplomacy sprinted into full gear hours after the recent announcement by Moscow and Ankara that bilateral talks to discuss developments and agreements regarding both Syria and Libya had been called off. The planned meeting was put off at the last minute with no official explanation as to why the decision was taken. No new date was announced for talks that were scheduled to take place in Istanbul on Sunday and Monday. The participation of Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as well as Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in the canceled meeting reflects its importance and the significance of the topics on its agenda.
In a brief statement by the on the same day talks were supposed to take place, the Turkish Foreign Ministry stated that “Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov decided to put off the talks during a phone call. “The two countries’ deputy ministers will continue contacts and talks in the period ahead. Minister-level talks will be held at a later date,” the Ministry’s statement added.
Renewed Tension Likely Behind Meeting Cancellation
Russia and Turkey have supported opposing sides in long-standing conflicts in Syria and Libya. On the eve of the suspended Istanbul ministerial-level meeting — which coincides with the expiry of the deadline given to pro-Turkish militias and other radical and terrorist groups operating in Idlib — for reopening of the strategic M4 highway from Aleppo to Latakia via Idlib, Syrian and Russian jets raided TIP (Turkmenistan Islamic Party) bases and convoys. Dozens of vehicles, rocket launchers, truck-mounted heavy machine guns and scores of mountain motorbikes donated by Turkey last year and frequently used by terrorists in attacking army positions and in assassinations were destroyed in the raids. Numerous terrorists were killed and injured as a result of both artillery and aerial bombardment on Saturday night.

China Develops Weapons to Fry US Electric Grid, Eyes High-Tech ‘Pearl Harbor’ Attack
With the help of stolen U.S. technology, China has developed at least three types of high-tech weapons to attack the electric grid and key technologies in a “surprise Pearl Harbor” assault that could send America into a deadly blackout, according to a new analysis.
According to the report from the independent EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, China has built a network of satellites, high-speed missiles, and “super-electromagnetic pulse” weapons that could melt down the U.S. electric network, fry critical communications, and stifle aircraft carrier groups.

Staff at Hong Kong Public Media Outlet RTHK Feeling Pressured to Self-Censor
Reporters at RTHK (Radio Television Hong Kong), a public broadcaster in Hong Kong, have been told to reduce the coverage of anti-Beijing protests and movements. The broadcaster is under immense pressure from Beijing and the Hong Kong government to self-censor to appease China.
The reporters were given the warning during an internal meeting. Although it’s a public broadcaster, RTHK is editorially independent. It was established more than nine decades ago when Britain had occupied the territory, and designed as a replica of the BBC. However, since British rule ended, RTHK has had to deal with the pressure of the city’s delicate political atmosphere.

80 Million Asylum Seekers and ‘Displaced Persons’ Worldwide, Highest Number Ever, Says UNHCR
A United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) report has revealed that 2019 saw nearly 80 million people ‘displaced’ worldwide, including 30 million asylum seekers and refugees, double the number since 2010.
The UN refugee agency’s report said that the number was also the highest ever recorded in its latest “Global Trends” paper. Of the 79.5 million displaced worldwide, 30 million are refugees or asylum seekers, and 45 million are “internally displaced”, meaning they had become refugees within their own countries’ borders.

Greece: Government Bans 22 Pro-Migrant NGOs for Failing to Comply With New Law
The Greek government has ordered 22 pro-migrant Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to halt their activities after they failed to properly register before the June 14 deadline. Registration was mandated by a new law that was passed in response to increasing violence perpetrated by illegal migrants.
There are currently 40 pro-migrant NGOs active in the camps throughout Greece, which has been on the front lines of the ongoing migrant crisis that began in 2015. Illegal migrants cross into Greece over land from Turkey or by sea across the Aegean. Greece is currently hosting upwards of 50,000 migrants, both on its islands in the Aegean and on its mainland.

FROM CNS NEWS: He once bought 1,500 shoe brushes for his employees to shine strangers’ shoes to exhibit their remorse for racism, Cathy said Sunday during a panel discussion at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia.
By shining shoes, white Americans can express shame, embarrassment, humility and contrition, Cathy said.
“Maybe, we need to give them a hug, too,” he added, providing a demonstration to Christian Rapper Lecrae:
“I invite folks just to put some words to action here and if we need to find somebody that needs to have their shoes shined, we need to just go right on over and shine their shoes.”
“Whether they got tennis shoes on or not — maybe they got sandals on — it really doesn’t matter. But, there’s a time in which we need to have some personal action here. Maybe we need to give them a hug, too.
“I bought about 1,500 of these [brushes] and I gave them to all our Chick-Fil-A operators and staff a number of years ago.”
“So, any expressions of a contrite heart, of a sense of humility, a sense of shame, a sense of embarrassment begat with an apologetic heart — I think that’s what our world needs to hear today.”

I am a programmer. I do not deal with digital painting, photo processing, video editing. I don’t really care for wide gamut or even proper color reproduction. I spend most of my days in a text browser, text editor and text terminal, looking at barely moving letters.
So I optimize my setup to showing really, really good letters. A good monitor is essential for that. Not nice to have. A MUST. And in “good” I mean, as good as you can get. These are my thoughts, based on my own experience, on what monitors work best for programming.

My favorite poem by Alexander Chizhevsky
И вновь, и вновь взошли на Солнце пятна,
И омрачились трезвые умы,
И пал престол, и были неотвратны
Голодный мор и ужасы чумы.
И вал морской вскипел от колебаний,
И норд сверкал, и двигались смерчи,
И родились на ниве состязаний
Фанатики, герои, палачи.
И жизни лик подернулся гримасой:
Метался компас – буйствовал народ,
А над землей и над людскою массой
Свершало Солнце свой законный ход.
And again and again the spots rose in the Sun,
And sober minds were clouded,
And the throne fell, and were irrevocable
Famine and the horrors of the plague.
And the sea shaft boiled from vibrations,
And the North glittered, and the tornadoes moved,
And were born in the field of competition
Fanatics, heroes, executioners.
And the face of life was distorted by a grimace:
The compass was tossing and the people were running amok,
And above the earth and above the mass of people
The Sun was making its legal move.
Why the German NGO sea whatch does not take the illegals into a safe German port since Merkel loves so much all these afroasian “elit” who comes uninvited to Europe?
For a 3d time Germany harms Europe.Enough!
Spot on! Before Covid-19 infection scares, Mad Merkel & the EU turned a blind eye to the thousands of migrants left stranded on Greek islands. Lesvos residents initially were praised by the UN & Time magazine for their “welcoming accommodations” in 2015. But after five, brutally long years of political lies, continuous NGO rescue ships & refugee camp expansions, the Greek citizens finally said “enough is enough”! No more arrivals! And they voted in a more conservative government. Greek Islanders (citizens) began burning recreation centers & makeshift schools set up in their villages for migrants by the NGOs. Rescue ships were met with throngs of angry residents blocking arrivals. Migrant evacuations off the Greek islands took place in 2020 because the *optics* of increased Covid-19 infections would make the EU look bad. Same thing happened with early release of prisoners in the U.S. And providing RV’s & travel trailers for the homeless in California after decades of political inertia in major cities like LA, Oakland, & San Francisco.
Stay strong Greece! Keep turning away the NGO ships. Don’t even allow them to dock in your ports! Let the NGOs take any newly arrived, economic migrants back to their home countries! Let’s see how “tolerant” Merkel & the EU become when their coveted ports & waterways are infiltrated with NGO rescue boats & more hungry mouths to feed.
Greece said back in the day, before the migration crisis blew up in early 2015, that it would unleash a migrant tide on Europe in retaliation for Northern Europeans running out of patience with their rampant spending.
I have little sympathy for the Greeks.
You who have little sympathy for us you should know that this horrible woman has her hand deep in my country’s politics and she is planning to replace the natives with afroasian scum.Do you know what this is called ccording to UN?It is called Genocide.Back in 2015 it was a stupid politician who unfortunately did not do what he said.As for the Germans who burned down 1700 villages and every Greek family has a victim of the German brutality(I have my granny and my uncle)they cannot forget the battle of Crete. If they come again they will suffer more. We Greeks do not care about anybody’s sympathy European or not.Whoever tries to harm us we are ready to smash their face.
Also Merkel helps Turkey against us with all her might.
Barbarians help each other usually.
yes , true, you do not care about anybody’s sympathy, not even of your own folks.That is why the tax collection system is so “efficient” in Greece. The French call this attitude ” je m’ en foutisme” ,I couldn’t care less.
” If they come again”…. why would they? And how does Merkel help the Turks against Greece? I do not know greek media, but I know that smoking thevwrongbstuff harms the brain.
It was in 1966 that the Maoist Cultural Revolution sought the destruction and total annihilation of what was called the ‘Four Olds’. Those 4 olds being the Chinese cultural old ideas, Chinese cultural old customs, Chinese cultural old culture and Chinese cultural old habits marked for annihilation by Maoist ‘Red Guards’ and in many cases those people associated with them were also eliminated. Such as the older Chinese people, their wisdom, experience and knowledge was removed and replaced by Maoist thought.
This is exactly what we’ve been watching happen here in America. Nursing homes intentionally infected to ‘eliminate’ the older generation. A virus that seems to have been engineered to target older people in any population it infects. The destruction of words via Big Tech censorship pogroms. The destruction of historic cultural statues, churches, synagogues associated with Western Culture. Can anyone see the parallels here? Anyone at all?
Today in America we are witnessing the disciples of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Red Guards in ANTIFA, BLM and every other Leftist organization to include their bought and paid for mainstream media outlets, a veritable Fifth Column of insurgent forces conducting war against the American People’s Constitutional Republic. Many are expecting that when America is sufficiently weakened it will be then attacked by the conventional military forces of at least the CCP and one or two of its’ cohort nations such as the Islamic Republic of Iran. I wish people would wake up to what’s happening and see the bigger picture but then that would require others to help spread the truth.
The public schools and universities have been brainwashing the youth for generations. Most are so dumbed down that they will be cheering if and when our Republic collapses.
