A Record 52% of Millennials Now Live With Their Parents, Highest Since Great Depression
Wall Street and the Trump administration have been in no rush to acknowledge the deep economic scarring from the virus-induced downturn that is set to prolong the recovery well into 2021. Readers, by now, understand the probabilities of a “V-shaped” recovery for the real economy for the remainder of 2020 are quickly fading.
Stories of permanent job loss and the collapse of small businesses are gaining traction in the mainstream press in Sept. as the stock market rolls over. Another dose of economic reality could stun Americans as the total number of young adults living at home has just surpassed levels not seen since the 1930s Great Depression.

“Bipartisan” Washington Insiders Reveal Their Plan for Chaos if Trump Wins the Election
A group of “bipartisan” neoconservative Republicans and establishment Democrats have been “simulating” multiple catastrophic scenarios for the 2020 election, including a simulation where a clear victory by the incumbent provokes “unprecedented” measures, which the Biden campaign could take to foil a new Trump inauguration.
A group of Democratic Party insiders and former Obama and Clinton era officials as well as a cadre of “Never Trump” neoconservative Republicans have spent the past few months conducting simulations and “war games” regarding different 2020 election “doomsday” scenarios…
Of course, some TIP members, including its co-founder Rosa Brooks — a former advisor to the Obama era Pentagon and currently a fellow at the “New America” think tank, have their preference for “what the military would do in this situation.” For instance, Brooks, writing less than 2 weeks after Trump´s inauguration in 2017, argued in Foreign Policythat “a military coup, or at least a refusal by military leaders to obey certain orders” was one of four possibilities for removing Trump from office prior to the 2020 election.

Who would stand to benefit the most from the imposition of martial law in the United States? I would argue that one need look no further than the battle within Washington power factions over the future of AI, which has been deemed of critical importance to national security by the public sector, the private sector and prominent think tanks. The Schmidt-led NSCAI and other bodies determining the country´s AI policy plan to implement a series of policies that will be deeply resisted by most Americans — from the elimination of individual car ownership to the elimination of cash as well as the imposition of an Orwellian surveillance system, among other things.
All of these agendas have advanced under the guise of combatting coronavirus, but their advance can only continue to use that justification for so long. For groups like the NSCAI, Americans must welcome these AI-driven advances or else, even if it means Americans face losing their jobs or their civil liberties. Otherwise, these groups and their billionaire backers argue, the U.S. will be “left out” and “left behind” when it comes time to set the new global standards for AI technology, as the U.S. will then be left in the dust by China´s growing AI industry, which is fed by its own implementation of these technologies.
By keeping Americans angry and distracted by the partisan divide through pre-planned election chaos, a “New America” waits in the wings — one that is coming regardless of what happens on election day. That is, of course, unless Americans quickly wake up to the ruse…

12-Year-Old Kid Suspended, Visited by Police, After Teacher Reports Toy Gun Seen During Online Class

I´ve written several articles reviewing Bill Gates´ control of global health, technology and food policy agendas. Financial influence is, of course, at the heart of this power and not-entirely-obscure influence.
By injecting millions of dollars into various industries, companies and organizations, many of which further strengthen the connections by interlinking and doing business with each other, Gates has risen to become one of the most influential individuals in the world.
While he has faced public backlash a number of times in his career, especially when he was CEO of Microsoft in the ‘90s, he´s become increasingly insulated from negative reviews, thanks to the fact that he also funds journalism and major media corporations.

Greenwald Exposes Journalism’s New Propaganda Tool: Using “Confirmed” To Mean Its Opposite
How could MSNBC purport to confirm a false story from CNN? Shortly after, CBS News also purported to have “confirmed” the same false story: that Trump, Jr. received advanced access to the WikiLeaks documents. It´s one thing for a news outlet to make a mistake in reporting by, for instance, mis-reporting the date of an email and thus getting the story completely wrong. But how is it possible that multiple other outlets could “confirm” the same false report?
It´s possible because news outlets have completely distorted the term “confirmation” beyond all recognition. Indeed, they now use it to mean the exact opposite of what it actually means, thereby draping themselves in journalistic glory they have not earned and, worse, deceiving the public into believing that an unproven assertion has, in fact, been proven. With this disinformation method, they are doing the exact opposite of what journalism, at its core, is supposed to do: separate fact from speculation.
CNN ultimately blamed its anonymous sources for this error, but refused to out them by insisting that it was a somehow a good faith mistake rather than deliberate disinformation (how did multiple “good faith” sources all “accidentally misread” an email date in the same way? CNN, in the spirit of news outlets refusing to provide the accountability and transparency for themselves that they demand from others, refuses to this very day to address that question).
But what is clear is that the “confirmation” which both MSNBC and CBS claimed it had obtained for the story was anything but: all that happened was that the same sources which anonymously whispered these unverified, false claims to CNN then went and repeated the same unverified, false claims to other outlets, which then claimed that they “independently confirmed” the story even though they had done nothing of the sort.

Serious Problem Identified: Chinese ‘Infection’ Of U.S. Power Grid
China and “probably one or two other” countries can shut down the U.S. power grid through a cyberattack. This disturbing revelation was made by Admiral Michael Rogers, former head of the National Security Agency, to Congress — in November 2014.
China has also become the world´s leading supplier of transformers — the “spine” of electricity grids — according to a 2014 U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) report. This also presents significant challenges to U.S. grid security.
For economic and security reasons, the United States should no longer purchase transformers and other electric grid equipment manufactured in China. It is important to end relationships that U.S. utilities have directly with Chinese businesses and multi-national companies manufacturing transformers in China.
These actions are envisioned under a May 1 Executive Order President Trump issued on protecting the bulk-power grid. Chinese power equipment provided to the U.S. can be embedded with software and hardware to remotely commit mischief from Beijing, enhancing its ability to commit cyberattacks.
Such items will not be easy to find. Large power transformers are huge, and weigh between 100 and 400 tons.

The Idea That You Can be Diagnosed With Racism and it is a Public Health Crisis Has No Merit at All

Massachusetts senator and failed presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has, along with two congresswomen, introduced a bill to declare racism ‘a public health crisis.´ Much of the bill seems to be oriented around the idea that it is attempting to provide more healthcare to minority communities that have been disproportionately affected by Covid-19.
There is a completely separate debate on whether or not the government has any business dealing with health care, but some of the goals of this bill make it very obvious that this is not the primary concern driving this.

In June, four armed Swedish police officers seized and confiscated the entire stock of the book Det här är en svensk tiger (“This is a Swedish Tiger“), written by Swedish author and standup comedian, Aron Flam. The book tells the story of how Sweden’s claim of neutrality during World War II covered up a reality of Swedish collaboration with the Nazi war effort and the profits that the Social Democratic government made from the war.
The title of the book is a play on the words of a 1941 wartime poster of a tiger drawn in the blue and yellow colors of the Swedish flag with the title “En svensk tiger” (“A Swedish Tiger”) and made by Swedish illustrator Bertil Almqvist. The word “tiger” in Swedish means tiger, but it also means to keep silent. The original poster was part of a Swedish government campaign to warn Swedes to keep silent, presumably not to rattle Sweden’s wartime relationship with Nazi Germany.

Julian Assange was re-arrested in a UK court’s cells Monday to be hit with new hacking charges — just moments before losing his bid to delay an extradition hearing trying to get him to face espionage charges in the US.
The 49-year-old WikiLeaks founder, clean-shaven and wearing a suit, was re-arrested in the cells of London’s top criminal court early Monday while awaiting his appearance to try to fight extradition, Sky News reported.
The fresh arrest means he now formally faces the new indictment announced in June that broadens “the scope of the conspiracy” that could see him sentenced to 175 years in prison if convicted.
The wider-reaching indictment accuses him of recruiting a 17-year-old hacker as well as working with shady online groups like Anonymous and LulzSec.

Resistence and Rebellion in the UK — Where Are the Men?
On Saturday 29, August 2020 a demonstration was held in Trafalgar Square against the mandates which have been made by the UK Government under Covid 19 and the vote now being made for a 2-year extension of their powers. Organized by Piers Corbyn, brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, the demonstration was entitled ‘Unite for Freedom´. The event attracted thousands of supporters from across the UK.Speakers included world class doctors and nurses, including Professor Dolores Cahil, Dr Andrew Kaufman, Dr Adil Senator, Dr Scott Jenson, Dr Sherri Tenpenny, Dr Eric Nepute, Dr Mikael Norway, Kate Shemirani, and DrKevin Corbet, and many others. It was very encouraging to hear respected doctors, questioning the statistics which have been recorded in relation to Covid deaths.
However, the most rousing and inspirational speech was perhaps delivered by David Icke who has a large underground following in the UK. He emphasised we are dealing with a virus of Fascism. Labelled a conspiracy theorist for many years, he has, however, painstakingly and relentlessly warned people around the world of a group of elitists, that are evil by nature, and who are purposefully orchestrating events around the globe in order to create a One World Order, with total control over every human being. He has provided excellent research and evidence to support the claims and has a metaphysical view on the human states of reality and freedom. In his speech, he mockingly gave credit to Covid 19 for being the perfect alibi for every loss of freedom which we have recently endured.

British citizens concerned for their health decided to get themselves tested — only to be met with a mandatory consent form to share their personal information with TransUnion — not from a scamming or phishing website, but from the UK government’s own website.

UK: BBC Reporters Aren’t Exactly Happy They’re Now Ordered to be Politically Impartial Online
BBC contributors are concerned about the newly-announced restrictions on their use of Twitter and other social media platforms. The BBC announced the new rules in an effort to be more impartial as, like with many other news outlets, presenters and reporters are increasingly growing partisan and it’s becoming too easy to guess which political party they support.
On Thursday, the new Director-General Tim Davie announced several rules aimed at impartiality. He said, “If you want to be an opinionated columnist or a partisan campaigner on social media then that is a valid choice, but you should not be working at the BBC.”

UK: Farage: Conservative Govt Not ‘Conservative’, ‘Bowed Down Before Woke Agenda’
Nigel Farage has questioned whether the Conservative Party is “conservative” at all, following its failure to handle the English Channel migrant crisis and for having “bowed” to the “woke agenda” during months of protests by the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement.
Brexit Watch’s Jonathan Saxty spoke to the veteran Eurosceptic on Sunday, asking him whether he still had faith in the Conservative government, which Britons elected into power in December 2019 with an 80-seat majority — the largest Conservative government since Margaret Thatcher was re-elected in 1987.

UK: Machine Learning Algorithm Scoops Up 50 New Exoplanets
Advances in technology are having a profound impact on astronomy and astrophysics. At one end, we have advanced hardware like adaptive optics, coronographs, and spectrometers that allow for more light to be gathered from the cosmos. At the other end, we have improved software and machine learning algorithms that are allowing for the data to be analyzed and mined for valuable nuggets of information.
One area of research where this is proving to be invaluable is in the hunt for exoplanets and the search for life. At the University of Warwick, technicians recently developed an algorithm that was able to confirm the existence of 50 new exoplanets. When used to sort through archival data, this algorithm was able to sort through a sample of candidates and determine which were actual planets and which were false positives.

DOJ: Elected Public Servants Are Above the Law
We know illegal aliens have been voting in our elections for decades. It´s underway right now with mail in ballots, ballot harvesting and soon early voting using electronic and counting machines easy to rig.
The U.S. Department of Justice has done nothing to stop aiding, harboring and freeing illegals by non-elected bureaucrats and elected public officials — for decades. Below is my snail mail letter to Attorney General William Barr.
All of this could have been stopped decades ago by Congress. Instead, both parties have turned a blind eye to the strongest anti-illegal alien bill ever written — despite snail mail letters by many of us to them over the past six years; I´ve never received a single reply. Yet, Americans continue to re-elect the same failures back to Congress election after election.

Canadian Political Candidate Roland Michaud Dropped by His Party Over Transgender Bathroom Meme
Canada’s Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick has dropped Roland Michaud, the party’s candidate for Victoria-La Vallée, after online complaints about a transgender bathroom meme that he posted in December 2018 and several other memes dating back to 2015.
The transgender bathroom meme referenced Target’s 2016 announcement that it would allow “transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity” and the concerns of critics that this policy would make it easier for men to follow girls into bathrooms.

Trans activists are threatening a women’s rights group For Women Scotland (FWS).
FWS has gone to court to prohibit the government from making changes to the Gender Representation on Public Board Act. The group says that the Scottish Government should be stopped from redefining “women.”

The threats, according to the leaders of FWS, come from specific trans activists’ groups, the Record reports.
