Suffer, little children: School closings, child abuse, and the COVID19 coup's war on democracy

mother child mask covid
I've been an angry man since the age of sixteen. That was when I read Lloyd deMause's newly-published The History of Childhood, an inquest into the realities of growing up that minced no words about society's ingrained habit of victimizing children to serve the implacable ends of adults.

As I absorbed deMause's relentless account of the cruelty inflicted on children in the world's most "advanced" civilizations, I swore an angry oath to myself that I would never acquiesce in the deliberate harm of little kids, no matter how respectable their abusers might claim to be.

So I'm not going to pull any punches about the systematic child abuse being orchestrated, as I write, by a phalanx of America's most "respectable" politicians, pundits and self-styled educators.

Best of the Web: Fabricating a pandemic - Who could organize it and why

world economic forum
It is difficult not to notice something contrived in the currently announced "pandemic" of the Novel Covid-19 virus. Media coverage of this event has all the hallmarks of a coordinated hysterical campaign, namely:
  • the use of emotions instead of numbers and logic (for example videos showing allegedly overflowing hospitals and morgues, which can easily be staged or occur due to a natural situation unrelated to Covid-19)
  • the refusal to even mention the most obvious counter-arguments (for example, the media will never compare the number of deaths caused by flu in recent years with Covid-19 deaths)
  • and the complete censorship of all opinions that disagree with the mainstream media narrative, even those that come from recognised experts.
We have witnessed the publication of numerous fake stories, like the CNN report about bodies being left on the streets in Ecuador which was later debunked. We have frequently seen hysterical headlines that are not supported in any way by the contents of the article.

Finally, the national, as well as the local coverage, is always vague, never saying who exactly is ill or what they've got, or whether they are at home or in a hospital, and they never say how they treat the disease. Vagueness in media is a sure sign of lying.

Out of any proportion to reality, the mass media continues to drone on ominously that this is the New Normal, and that we might as well get used to it, that the world will never be as it was before the coronavirus. This is nothing more and nothing less than classic psychological warfare.

Why would a viral outbreak require "psy-ops", that is, unless something larger was afoot?

Osama bin Laden's niece says only Trump can prevent another 9/11

Another 9/11-style attack may be just around the corner if Joe Biden is elected president, warns Noor bin Ladin, the niece of Sept. 11 terror mastermind Osama bin Laden.

"ISIS proliferated under the Obama/Biden administration, leading to them coming to Europe. Trump has shown he protects America and us by extension from foreign threats by obliterating terrorists at the root and before they get a chance to strike," bin Ladin, 33, told The Post in her first-ever interview.

Bin Ladin (whose branch of the family has always spelled their name differently than her infamous uncle) lives in Switzerland but said she considers herself "an American at heart." A full size US flag hung in her childhood room at age 12 and her dream vacation is an RV trip across America.

The stunning, Swiss-born bin Ladin says she is all in for Trump in 2020, calling the election the most important in a generation.

"I have been a supporter of President Trump since he announced he was running in the early days in 2015. I have watched from afar and I admire this man's resolve," she said. "He must be reelected ... It's vital for the future of not only America, but western civilization as a whole."

"You look at all the terrorist attacks that have happened in Europe over the past 19 years. They have completely shaken us to the core ... [Radical Islam] has completely infiltrated our society," bin Ladin continued. "In the US it's very worrying that the left has aligned itself completely with the people who share that ideology."

New drone footage captured by RT's video agency Ruptly reveals the devastation at ground zero in Beirut's port in detail, one month after the massive explosion which shook the Lebanese capital.

The video shows the port, where the now-infamous warehouse full of improperly stored explosives used to sit. The whole area was essentially flattened by the blast. No building was left standing, apart from massive grain silos that managed to withstand the explosion and even shielded part of the city.

Social media giants ban users for expressing their views, but they're totally OK with people smugglers using their platforms

Facebook, YouTube and other companies seem so desperate to appear pro-refugee that they're allowing those who exploit them to use their platforms to facilitate illegal migration. This is both misguided and dangerous.

Social media companies are failing to censor, suspend, or ban hundreds of accounts that are linked to people trafficking.

According to Britain's National Crime Agency (NCA) nearly 500 of the more than 1,200 accounts they reported to Facebook, YouTube, and other sites because they were found to be aiding illegal migration are still up and running. The NCA's director of threat leadership, Rob Jones, recently told MPs, "We were very certain when we made these referrals that there was a problem with those accounts. To see that level of attrition, with not all those accounts being closed, is challenging for us."

He added that people smuggling into Britain was "flourishing," thanks to Silicon Valley companies' encrypted services providing a "really good, dynamic, agile way for people to move migrants between them, and for groups to communicate." These revelations come following a record-breaking day for English Channel crossings, which saw 409 people enter Britain illegally via small boats launched from France.

Put simply, people smuggling is a very real and serious problem, illegal under both national and international law, and serves only to enrich vile and violent criminal gangs with tentacles reaching right across the globe. Moreover, it's exploitative and immoral. Why would Silicon Valley want to play a part in enabling this despicable trade to continue?

Police forces across the country are dealing with thousands of potential violations of quarantine rules involving holidaymakers who may not be self-isolating after trips abroad, the Guardian can reveal.

The requests for "further action" have been raised by Border Force officials and public health authorities, who have been tasked with ensuring that people returning from abroad are abiding by regulations designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

The details emerged as leading scientists warned that the UK is fast approaching a pivotal moment. With another surge in the number of positive cases recorded on Friday, they urged people to keep following the rules or risk the return of widespread lockdown across the UK.


Comment: Positive cases that are mostly asymptomatic and will likely confer immunity.


Comment: The unjustified encroachment of the authorities into our lives is increasing by the day and it's no wonder that people around the planet are beginning to speak out:

'The notion that US debt can ever be paid back is ridiculous', analyst says

money dollars
In June, US Department of the Treasury data revealed that America's national debt had exceeded $26 trillion for the first time in the nation's history, as the country continues to grapple with the economic fallout from the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The Wall Street Journal has cited the US Congressional Budget Office (CBO) as saying that the country's federal debt has already reached its highest level since World War II and is currently equal to the size of the nation's economy.

CBO suggested that the debt may exceed 100 percent of US gross domestic product (GDP) in the next fiscal year which kicks off on 1 October, due to a hefty financial response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Joseph Gagnon, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and a former visiting associate director of the Division of Monetary Affairs at the US Federal Reserve Board, said that the pandemic has led to a situation when "there is a large increase in government debt in most countries this year".

"Tax revenues fall as businesses close or shrink and the government spends more to subsidise workers and firms. In the US, the Trump tax cut of 2018 already increased the deficit somewhat before the pandemic struck", Gagnon noted.
