Spam locked up in some New York stores amid soaring thefts

SPAM theft

Inflation and crime have gotten so bad in Gotham that even cheap meat like Spam has to be locked up.

At Duane Reade's store in the Port Authority bus depot, the shelf-stable product — only $3.99 a can — is now being stocked in plastic, anti-theft cases.

"I've never seen that before!" one cashier laughed while using a magnet to remove a can of Spam from its cage.

The cashier was among the employees, tourists and store regulars stunned that the iconic blue-and-yellow cans are now being kept under lock-and-key — some even poking fun at the sight as "a sort of Jeff Koons homage," per one viral tweet.

Comment: This rise in crime is likely due to a convergence of issues, including soaring inflation, worsening poverty, and a police force that is overstretched, apathetic, corrupt, and hindered from doing its job; and this last point is particularly evident in those liberal cities where petty thefts are no longer consider worthy of a police investigation: Los Angeles cargo trains repeatedly looted, tracks littered with Amazon packages

To take back our culture we need to build our own media army

Hollywoke
I have been writing about the concept of decentralization since around 2006, well before the threat of the woke takeover and the culture war became obvious. The idea is a rather simple one (most ideas that work are simple):

If the corrupt system does not or will not provide what the public needs or wants then the public should provide those necessities for themselves. If they are successful then the system has two choices - It can fade away quietly as the decentralized economy takes over, or, it can try and STOP the public from building their own production using force. If the system uses force, then it exposes its true nature as authoritarian and it encourages rebellion. One way or another, the corrupt system will be eliminated.

We have already seen this with the alternative media over the past decade. When I started my first website (Neithercorp) 16 years ago, there were very few of us out there presenting the truth to the public and the mainstream media was still very much in control of the narrative. Today there is an endless array of alternative news websites and YouTube channels and the MSM is utterly dying (except maybe Fox News). Their audience numbers are crumbling while our audience numbers are rising. We are winning the news war because we offer something they don't - The facts.

As a "precautionary step" against possible retaliation from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Israeli troops closed off several main highways along the besieged Gaza Strip on 2 August, hours after the arrest of a senior leader.

Late on Monday, occupation troops arrested PIJ official Bassam al-Saadi during a raid in the Jenin refugee camp, north of the occupied West Bank.

During the raid, the Israeli soldiers also killed 17-year-old Derar Riyad al-Kafrini.

J6 defendant receives harshest sentence yet after son testifies against him at trial

A federal judge on Monday handed down the heaviest sentence yet to a defendant who was at the Capital riot — seven years to a Texas man who never entered the building.

A Washington, D.C., jury convicted Guy Reffitt, 49, of five felonies in March, including carrying a gun on U.S. Capitol grounds and threatening his children against reporting him to law enforcement. Reffitt was also convicted of two counts of civil disorder, and one count of obstruction of an official proceeding.

U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich declined a Department of Justice request to sentence Reffitt as a domestic terrorist, stating it would create an "unwarranted sentencing disparity," according to Politico. Treating Reffitt's crimes as terrorism would have substantially increased Reffitt's potential sentence; prosecutors had asked for a 15-year term.

Jack Posobiec burns Jon Stewart after uninformed 'meltdown' over Senate Veterans bill UPDATE: They're now working together to get the bill passed

jack posobiec jon stewart
When the Senate GOP declined to pass the PACT Act this week, comedian and pundit Jon Stewart blasted for what he termed voting against veterans. But as Human Events Daily's Jack Posobiec pointed out, the senators weren't voting against veterans, they were voting against a random $400 billion that had been snuck into the bill.

Posobiec took a look at the bill, which was passed in June, but then required to be put up for a revote after the House made a change to the legislation. The change in the bill up for a vote before the Senate, according to the Congressional Budget Office, was to the tune of $400 billion in completely unrelated spending.


Comment: UPDATE from the Post Millennial:
After Jack Posobiec called out comedian Jon Stewart for lying about a Senate bill meant to provide funding for veterans suffering the ill effects of burn pits, Posobiec and Stewart had a confrontation in Washington, DC.

While it began contentiously, the two men eventually came to terms. "Jon Stewart and I have decided to come to an agreement, have we not, Jon?" Posobiec asked.

"Yes sir," said Stewart, chagrined.

"I lost my temper a little bit, I felt like I was being trolled, and I realized the important thing is just got to get this done for these guys, and get them over the finish line to get them the health care they need," Stewart said.

"We're at 98 percent, let's get it over the 2 percent," Posobiec said.

The bill that is being stalled in the Senate over egregious extra spending pushed into the bill by Democrats is meant to give resources to veterans who suffered exposure to toxic chemicals in burn pits. "A burn pit is an area used for burning solid waste in open air without equipment," the bill states.

This practice was undertaken in Iraq, Southwest Asia, Afghanistan, and other locations across Asia and the Middle East.

Most of the Senate understands the importance of passing this act, and of getting veterans the health care they need. However, it has been held up in Congressional red-tape, essentially.

It was originally passed in June, but then was required to be put up for a revote after the House made a change to the legislation. The change in the bill up for a vote before the Senate, according to the Congressional Budget Office, was to the tune of $400 billion in completely unrelated spending.

Posobiec looked into these changes, and brought the receipts to Stewart on Twitter. This after Stewart freaked out at the GOP, saying that the GOP senators didn't care about vets.

...

When Posobiec spoke to Stewart in DC, Stewart had initially screamed in his face as well.

"These people have suffered for 15 years," the comedian told the Navy veteran, pointing in his face, and when Posobiec asked why Stewart was calling him names, Stewart said "because you're a fucking troll."

Posobiec pointed out that he was "for the bill," which he also noted was true for Republicans in Congress. The only reason the bill was voted down last week is because Democrats had added a substantial amount of discretionary spending that had nothing to do with veterans or their health issues.

Stewart, instead of engaging in any kind of dialogue, continued screaming. However, a short time after the initial, unhinged encounter, the two men were seen in a much more congenial circumstance.

Amber Heard's sister told boss actress did sever Johnny Depp's finger: unsealed court docs

Jennifer Howell depp heard trial

Amber Heard's sister told her employer that the "Aquaman" actress had "done it now" and cut off Johnny Depp's finger with a bottle, according to a deposition that came to light following the unsealing of more than 6,000 page of court documents over the weekend.

The newly unveiled legal filings detail efforts by Depp and Heard's attorneys to get certain claims and exhibits presented or excluded from their bombshell defamation trial in Fairfax, Virginia.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star testified in April that during a couple's quarrel in Australia in 2015, Heard hurled a bottle of vodka at him, which shattered and severed the tip of his finger.

Israel bans use of cash for 'large purchases' over 15,000 NIS ($4,360)

Shekel

A new law is set to take effect in Israel starting August 1 that will ban payments of large sums of money in cash and bank checks. The goal of the reform, according to a statement issued by Israel's Tax Authority, is to fight organized crime, money laundering and tax non-compliance.


Comment: The people making the most money off of that kind of criminality are often in cahoots with the establishment and the banks themselves, and the small fry criminals will find an alternative currency for transactions, so that justification doesn't hold water.

Under the new law, any payment to a business above 6,000 NIS ($1,700) must be made using alternative methods, such as a digital transfer or a debit card. Trading between private citizens who are not listed as business owners will be limited to 15,000 NIS ($4,360) in cash. This is another step in Israel's fight against the use of cash. Previously, cash up to the amount of 11,000 NIS ($3,200) could be used in business deals.

Mysterious deaths of 'well-connected' asylum-seeking Saudi sisters in Sydney

apartment
When they arrived in Sydney, Asra and Amaal made contact with a refugee agency. Pictured: Their Canterbury apartment block, where they were found dead in June
Two Saudi Arabian sisters made a report to building security about a suspicious man lurking outside their unit - just months before they were found dead in their bedrooms.

Asra Abdullah Alsehli, 24, and Amaal Abdullah Alsehli, 23, were found dead inside their apartment in Canterbury, in Sydney's city's south-west on June 7, five years after they fled their homeland with $5,000 in savings.

Police believe the women, who were found in separate beds and bedrooms, may have been dead for a month before officers discovered their decomposing bodies while conducting a welfare check.

There was no sign of forced entry, no clear signs of injury, and the cause of death remains undetermined although is being treated as suspicious.
