Polish President Andrzej Duda accused on Saturday the LGBT movement of advancing ideas that are more harmful than communism and said he agreed with another conservative politician who stated that "LGBT is not people, it's an ideology."

Duda's remarks came from the small southwestern town of Brzeg as he was holding a rally for his presidential re-election.

Gay rights is emerging as a key campaign theme in the presidential election as the race grows close between Duda, backed by the nationalist conservative ruling party Law and Justice, and Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, who has called for tolerance for gay and lesbian people.

Comment: Notably there are a number of similarities between the two ideologies, from the active destruction of the family to the subversion of reality:

Atlanta police chief steps down after police shooting of Rayshard Brooks at Wendy's drive-thru - UPDATES: New footage emerges, rioters burn down Wendy's

The Atlanta police chief stepped down Saturday hours after the death of a 27-year-old Black man who was shot by an officer while fleeing during a struggle at a Wendy's drive-thru late Friday night, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Rayshard Brooks had been asleep in his car in a Wendy's drive-thru, causing other customers to drive around the car, the Bureau of Investigation said. Police were dispatched to the Wendy's around 10:30 p.m., and conducted a sobriety test on Brooks, who failed the test, according to the officials.

"During the arrest, the male subject resisted and a struggle ensued," the Bureau of Investigation said. "The officer deployed a Taser. Witnesses report that during the struggle the male subject grabbed and was in possession of the Taser. It has also been reported that the male subject was shot by an officer in the struggle over the Taser."

Comment: If only there were a way to examine evidence and law to determine what should be done.

UPDATES: Sunday 14th June @ 12:00 CET
Meanwhile, newly-release surveillance footage of the incident appears to back claims by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation that Brooks grabbed a taser from an officer and aimed it back at police chasing him, at which point he was shot.

"These new videos indicate that during a physical struggle with officers, Brooks obtained one of the officer's Tasers and began to flee from the scene," the GBI said.

"Officers pursued Brooks on foot and during the chase, Brooks turned and pointed the Taser at the officer. The officer fired his weapon, striking Brooks."

The fatal police-involved shooting triggered a new wave of protests in Atlanta, with activists accusing officers of racism and extrajudicial execution of yet another 'unarmed black man' in the wake of ongoing nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd.


Atlanta protesters TORCH Wendy's restaurant where Rayshard Brooks was killed by cops


A massive crowd of protesters shut down I-75/85 at University Avenue, marching towards the parking lot of the fast food restaurant where the Friday shooting took place.


Apparently holding Wendy's partially responsible for the fatal incident, protesters torched the drive-through, which is located "dangerously close" to a gas station.







Another video from a surveillance camera released by authorities showed that while Brooks was indeed shot while attempting to flee - he wasn't unarmed and was aiming a taser he snatched from an officer back at his pursuers.

Who's to blame? These three scientists are at the heart of the Surgisphere COVID-19 scandal

Three unlikely collaborators are at the heart of the fast-moving COVID-19 research scandal, which led to retractions last week by The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), and the withdrawal of an online preprint, after the trove of patient data they all relied on was challenged. The three physician-scientists never were at the same institution nor had they ever before written together, but they are the only authors in common on the disputed papers, and the other co-authors all have ties to at least one of them. Their partnership, which seized a high-impact role during a global public health crisis, has now ended disastrously.

The first author for both retracted papers was cardiac surgeon Mandeep Mehra, an eminent Harvard University professor who works at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and is known internationally for cardiovascular medicine and heart transplants. He provided the kind of gravitas that can fast-track papers to leading journals. In a statement provided by BWH, Mehra said he had met another of the trio, cardiac surgeon Amit Patel, in "academic and medical circles," and that Patel had introduced him to Sapan Desai, a vascular surgeon and founder of Surgisphere, the tiny company that supplied the data. Journal disclosures, however, also indicate Mehra received compensation from Triple-Gene, a gene therapy company Patel co-founded to develop cardiovascular treatments.

Desai publicly aspired to combine big data and artificial intelligence (AI) in ways that he said can replace randomized controlled clinical trials. For a brief moment, it seemed that Surgisphere's enticing data set, said to include nearly 100,000 detailed patient records from about 700 hospitals on six continents, would settle questions about the possible benefits of various drugs — including the controversial antimalarial hydroxychloroquine — for COVID-19 patients.

"We mean literally abolish the police": Activists reject spin on movement's call to defund the police

The New York Times has run an opinion column by Mariame Kaba denouncing efforts by Democratic leaders and the media to try to spin the call for defunding the police as just a reallocation of funds and a new set of priorities and a new structure for policing. Kaba wrote "Yes, we mean literally abolish the police." That opinion piece follows a warning by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., that Democrats and others trying to "repackage" the push to "Defund the Police" Notably, while the New York Times apologized for publishing an opinion piece by a ranking U.S. Senator on the use of federal troops to quell rioting, it has now problem with publishing a column calling for the abolishment of police. As discussed earlier, this is a movement that is moving rapidly to the left and repackaging is now considered counter-revolutionary.

Kaba states what people in the streets has been saying (including rallies chanting "no more cops") even as some in the media has mocked those who claimed that "defund the police" could actually mean defunding the police or that "dismantle the police" could actually means dismantling the police. Indeed, recently Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender told CNN's Alisyn Camerota that people who are concerned about their personal safety after defunding police are simply speaking "from a place of privilege."

Kaba rejects "liberal reforms" from congressional Democrats and Joe Biden including calls for cracking down on police misconduct or ordering reforms: "Enough. We can't reform the police. The only way to diminish police violence is to reduce contact between the public and the police." She states that police have always been a "force of violence against black people" dating back to slavery. At a minimum, Kaba wants police cut "in half" because "fewer police officers equals fewer opportunities for them to brutalize and kill people." For this reason, Kaba explains "We don't want to just close police departments. We want to make them obsolete."

The powers that be are ecstatic that the left believes the biggest problem right now are statues of dead white men

In the US and the EU both, we've witnessed the biggest monetary heist in history. We're sailing into a depression that central banks have set up for us over the past two decades. And we're doing so in the worst possible condition thanks to the Draconian, harebrained and unnecessary lockdowns that the politicians imposed on us.

Several of Empire's wars and occupations continue in Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, and Syria. Tension is being needlessly cultivated with China and Russia, and the entire architecture of nuclear arms control is just about done being thrown in that trash bin of history.

Simultaneously the people of Venezuela, Iran, Cuba and North Korea continue to have their livelihoods needlessly strangulated as a form of Imperial collective punishment.

In the midst of all this, the left has graduated from protesting cops (which is a good thing, albeit not nearly as urgent as protesting the hunger blockade on Yemen) to protesting statues of dead white people.

Yeah. The number one priority for hundreds of thousands of indignant lefties right now are statues. Statues. Lumps of bronze shaped to resemble historical figures.

Colorado bill would require "re-education" classes for parents who refuse Coronavirus vaccine

vaccine injection
Radicals just passed a bill through a committee in Colorado (20-14) to reduce available exemptions on vaccinations for school-age children. This bill offers "online education modules" for parents who want a different vaccination schedule than what the state demands. Submitting a "certificate of completion" from the re-education classes is one way to receive the state-sanctioned vaccine exemption.

In addition, the bill forces all doctors and medical staff to give vaccinations with no exemptions, even if they are in a situation where they believe it would not be in that child's best interest. The bill's current version, however, does not list any sanctions or punishments for medical staff that refuse.

The bill requires schools to publicly report what percentage of their students are vaccinated or exempted and gives schools explicit goals to reach — goals stipulating that five percent or less of students are to be exempt.

Currently, New York, California, Mississippi, West Virginia, and Maine deny all vaccine exemptions based on religious belief. Legislators in Illinois are also pushing a bill to eliminate all religious exemptions.

As community calls for justice, Palmdale officials vow full investigation into Robert Fuller's death

Friends of Robert Fuller shared images of him on Twitter.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says the initial results of a coroner's investigation indicate a 24-year-old man likely hanged himself in a Palmdale park this week. But scant details about the case — and the symbolism of a young Black man dying by hanging in the Antelope Valley — have some speculating that Robert Fuller was the victim of a hate crime.

A passerby walking near city hall around 4 a.m. Wednesday saw Fuller's body hanging from a tree in an area called Poncitlan Square and called 911, said Lt. Brandon Dean with the Palmdale sheriff's station. Homicide detectives responded, as did the coroner's office.

"From initial investigation of the scene and everything we've recovered, all signs right now lead us to believe this was a suicide," Dean told us Friday. "Without going into too much detail, it doesn't appear there was any sign of a fight or struggle."

Comment: The death of Robert Fuller is tragic. However, considering Fuller wouldn't be the first person to have hung themselves since the start of the corona madness and also considering that there were no physical signs of struggle, the facts thus far point to a suicide and not a racist hate crime cover up. But that hasn't stopped speculation from those who see hate crimes everywhere:

Tennessee Gov. Lee says Nashville autonomous zone won't 'be tolerated'

Nashville autonomous zone
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee issued a warning to demonstrators looking to set up an autonomous zone in front of the state Capitol Friday, saying that "lawlessness, autonomous zones, and violence will not be tolerated."

According to a local news outlet, a large group of demonstrators protesting the death of George Floyd in police custody and racial injustice in the U.S., reportedly intended to set up an autonomous zone in front of the Capitol in solidarity with the demonstrations in Seattle.

The Seattle occupation, which has taken over several blocks in the Capitol Hill neighborhood declaring itself an autonomous zone, is reportedly a demonstration of a society without law enforcement - the demonstration comes amid nationwide protests calling to "defund the police."

Seattle's East Precinct was cleared Monday, after protesters clashed with police officers following days of demonstrations.

In March, more than 15 medium-sized missiles hit the Taji base. Three soldiers died and 12 more were injured as a result of the attack.

A rocket has hit Iraq's Taji military base which hosts the US-led coalition forces, according to Al-Arabiya TV channel.

No injuries or damage have so far been reported.

Last time the Taji military base came under attack was in March when three soldiers were killed and 12 more injured after 15 medium-sized missiles hit the base.

Following the attack, the US carried out precise attacks on five munition depots owned by the Shiite 'Kataib Hezbollah' network in Iraq. Six people were killed in US airstrikes targeting several facilities in Iraq, including an airport in Kerbala which was under construction, Iraqi security service said.

Comment: The majority of Iraq wants the U.S. out of the country. The U.S. knows it. Trump seemingly wants to leave, but his "advisers" won't let him. Expect more of the same before the U.S. finally leaves - if it ever does.
