Amazon's French warehouses have been restricted to shipping essential goods only until a safety assessment can be conducted, after unions demanded the megacorporation adopt better employee protection measures.

The judicial court of Nanterre has ordered Amazon to limit its warehouse activities to "reception, preparation and shipment of food products, hygienic products, and medical products" within 24 hours, union counsel Judith Krivine told reporters on Tuesday. The company must submit to a professional risk assessment in conjunction with employee representatives before it can resume normal operations.

If the e-commerce behemoth violates the order, it could be slapped with a penalty of €1 million ($1.1 million) per day of delay, or per violation. The Union Syndicale Solidaires, representing Amazon warehouse workers, took Amazon to court last week after their demands for better employee protection allegedly went unheeded.

The International Monetary Fund in a revised outlook for 2020 said Tuesday it expects the global economy to shrink by 3 percent due to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

The IMF said such a sharp decline would be "much worse" than declines seen during the financial crisis a decade ago. For 2021, it forecasts a near 6 percent rebound helped along by government stimulus policies.

The revised outlook is titled "The Great Lockdown."

"The COVID-19 pandemic is inflicting high and rising human costs worldwide, and the necessary protection measures are severely impacting economic activity," the revised outlook states.

Comment: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has warned that the coronavirus pandemic will cost global airlines $314 billion in revenue, as flights are down 80% compared to January. Investor Mark Mobius believes the US has to open up soon, otherwise the collateral damage will be "incredible." Meanwhile, gold prices are soaring. Futures are nearing $1,800/ounce, with experts saying that could reach $2,000/ounce in the near future. On the other hand, Mark Yusko of Morgan Creek Capital believes that the actions of the Fed in just printing more and more money has "turned the dollar into toilet paper."

As media warns of WARRING CANNIBAL RATS in US cities, (human) food production quietly crashes from Covid-19 closures

Rats living in major US cities are resorting to war and cannibalism to survive the coronavirus lockdown, a rodent expert has told the media. But as closures hamper food production, humans may also find themselves in trouble.

While rats feeding off residential waste in places like New York City and Los Angeles are doing just fine, those relying on restaurants - shuttered due to Covid-19 quarantines - are suddenly facing starvation, urban rodentologist Bobby Corrigan told NBC News on Monday.

"It's just like we've seen in the history of mankind, where people try to take over lands and they come in with militaries and armies and fight to the death, literally, for who's going to conquer that land. And that's what happens with rats," he said. "A new 'army' of rats come in, and whichever army has the strongest rats is going to conquer that area."

Documents found by FOIA request reveal Feds are excited to create a mass surveillance network

surveillance state
A FOIA request by the Electronic Privacy Information Center revealed how excited the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI) is about using CCTV cameras to create a national surveillance network.

An NSCAI presentation titled "Chinese Tech Landscape Overview" discusses China's facial recognition CCTV camera network in glowing terms.
"When we talk about data resources, really the largest data source is the government.'"
The presentation discusses how the Chinese government profits from encouraging companies to use facial recognition on visitors and employees.
"Now that these companies are operating at scale they are building a host of other services (e.g. facial recognition for office buildings, augmented reality)"
In America things are not all that different.

In the United States, the Feds encourage private companies like Clearview AI, Amazon Ring and Flock Safety to use facial recognition and automatic license plate readers to identify everyone.

Bernie Sanders' key surrogates refuse to endorse Joe Biden as supporters lament senator's switching sides

Bernie Sanders' endorsement of Joe Biden hasn't gone over well with the socialist senator's supporters, who see their candidate's capitulation as a betrayal of his values.

Sanders made a surprise appearance in a livestream with Biden on Monday, to give his full endorsement to a candidate he'd once described as an architect of "disastrous" trade policies, a stooge for credit card companies, and part of "the establishment that is working frantically to try and defeat us."

"We've got to make Trump a one-term president and we need you in the White House," Sanders said to Biden on Monday, before calling on his supporters to back the former vice president.

Sorry trans activists, a sex-change op is NOT more essential than treating Covid-19

Covid-19 has infected two million people and so far has killed 120,000. Half of humanity is under some form of social lockdown. And unemployment is exploding. But the biggest victims are trans people unable to have a sex change.

Or at least, that's what they want you to think.

Throughout the world, non-essential surgeries have been postponed to free up vital equipment in hospitals, and to diminish foot traffic within their halls. Inarguably a smart move, given there's a highly infectious virus wreaking havoc within all sectors of society. Although, to the perpetually offended and self-victimized LGBT community and their sympathizers, this is just yet another thing for them to take umbrage over.

Is Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer the worst governor in America?

One word keeps recurring in online discussions of Michigan Gov. 's latest orders to fight the state's raging COVID-19 outbreak: "insanity." Last week, the first-term Democrat issued an order extending the state's stay-at-home policy, which had been set to expire April 15, until May 1. Michigan has the third-highest number of coronavirus cases of any state in America, and certainly strong measures are required to get the pandemic under control. But the devil is in the details, and Whitmer's new order instantly provoked a firestorm of outrage.

Among the complaints was that Whitmer had prohibited sale of seeds and other garden supplies at a time when vegetable gardens need to be planted. Executive Order 2020-42 is titled, "Temporary requirement to suspend activities that are not necessary to sustain or protect life," and it is quite specific about which activities are and are "not necessary." Stores with "more than 50,000 square feet" (e.g., Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot) are ordered to close areas of the store "by cordoning them off, placing signs in aisles, posting prominent signs, removing goods from shelves, or other appropriate means" that sell carpet or flooring, furniture, and "garden centers and plant nurseries." So if grandma went to Walmart for groceries and hoped to pick up some tomato plants or cucumber seeds while she was there — sorry, grandma! You could get a thousand-dollar fine and 90 days in jail for disobeying Whitmer's orders.

Attention

Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer's over-the-top, scientifically unfounded coronavirus restrictions are ravaging her state

whitmer
Michigan residents are speaking out over Governor Whitman’s decision to make what she deems “non essential” items no longer available at big retailers such as Walmart.
Back in Michigan, my parents have a few acres of land, a pond that looks more like a swamp, and a garden that sits behind a barn. The garden isn't very big, and it isn't very fruitful, either. But this will be the first year it yields nothing at all because it is no longer considered "essential," according to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's latest executive order.

Michigan has been one of the states hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. Whitmer rightly issued a shelter-in-place order last month in an effort to flatten the curve, asking nonessential businesses to close temporarily. But Michiganders are now reaching the point where they need some sort of reassurance that the economic hit this health crisis has delivered will not be permanent. Instead, Whitmer has abruptly handed them even tighter restrictions that defy common sense and undermine what little public support mandatory isolation continues to enjoy.

Whitmer's new restrictions are arbitrary and confusing and thus wantonly applied. Stores are being ordered to "close areas of the store that are dedicated to carpeting, flooring, furniture, garden centers, plant nurseries, or paint," the order states. A friend of mine went to test this out, first at Lowe's, then at Walmart. At Lowe's, he was prevented from buying a can of paint, but he was allowed to purchase caulk. At Walmart, he was not allowed to buy a couch, but he could buy a brand new, flat-screen television. At both stores, home gardening supplies were completely off-limits.

Bill Gates pulls disgraced ad featuring creepy 'spirit-cooking' witch Abramovic

Disgraced former CEO of Microsoft Bill Gates, recently exposed as a close collaborator of Epstein who did not kill himself, and owner of tremendous stock of that criminal computer-virus producing enterprise, has apparently 'turned-tail and run' - walking back an ad featuring the documented pizza-gate-connected anti-Serbian witch, Marina Abramovic.

After journalism like Fort Russ News, and a patriotic community of netizens, exposed this 'double-down' attempt on the part of these pedophile globalists led in part by Clinton accomplice, Bill Gates, we have witnessed instead, their own realization of embarrassment.

We reported on the story when it broke < — — You'll note the video has been made 'private'. Yes, we know why!

Comment: The original Fort Russ report:
Facing what may well be a prosecution by US authorities, and having been exposed by thinking people of conscience for what they are, Bill Gates and his human-trafficking Deep State buddies have doubled down - facing a silent majority who are onto their occult ritual-cannibalist, rape-torture-kill, pedophile antics.

Marina Abramovic is one of the chief witches of the Clinton cabal and the Deep State. That Bill Gates is doing this is the absolute troll move, and it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out. She's known for being a fake artist who sold her soul to the devil to be famous as an artist, despite having no artistic ability whatsoever. Despite having sacrificed numerous human beings to Satan, she's still a very bad artist. This means she is a very bad negotiator, and has terrible self-esteem.

If you want to understand the foundation of her error, of what she fails to understand in the human experience and part of what led her astray, it is at around 1:26

Let me say that readers new to Fort Russ News may think this tone and vocabulary is the standard norm for us. It has not been. Maybe we may even seem like a conspiracy website promoting outlandish claims. This is neither our intention, nor in fact the case. While FRN was created and largely staffed in its history by Americans, an Aussie, and a Kiwi and a Serb - we were named in supporting documents submitted to the House Intel Committee regarding the Mueller Investigation on Russian interference in the US election, as if we had no right to influence other Americans on the criminal insanity of Hillary Clinton.

The reality is that things have changed tremendously in recent months, and we are at a loss for words if we refuse to call a spade a spade. When we say 'pedophile' we mean people who rape children. When we say 'cannibal', we mean people who eat human flesh, when we say 'ritualistic', we mean that this is done within the context of a quasi-religious type 'mass' or ceremony. When we say 'witch' we mean a priestess involved in all of this. When we say 'RTK', we literally mean 'rape, torture, kill'. When we say human trafficking, we mean the kidnapping of children and vulnerable people, often women and girls, to be sexually exploited and worse.

We are tired of using euphemisms or beating around the bush. From now own, we're going to be straight forward about this.

To Ms Abramovic - you've gone down the wrong path, and you think you've cozied up to those in power, thereby assuring your legacy. Know this - history doesn't work that way, and just like you're a bad negotiator, you've got a terrible understanding of which way the wind is blowing. And what's worse? You think what matters is how you'll be regarded by those alive after you die. While you will most certainly by remembered by humanity as a talentless hack and serial killer, it's your eternal soul you should be chiefly concerned with.

Are we being libelous? She's a public figure, and given what we know and what material she has put out in the public herself, we believe a reasonable person could come to this opinion.
Abramovic's twisted "art" installations are very much in favor in some of the darkest quarters of Washington.

Chris Cuomo sick of CNN gig: 'ridiculous' content, 'not worth my time'

chris cuomo
CNN host Chris Cuomo went on a tirade against his own job Monday, revealing he no longer enjoys what he does "professionally" and admitting to "trafficking in things that I think are ridiculous."

Cuomo went on the surprising rant during the Monday edition of his SiriusXM radio program.

"I don't want to spend my time doing things that I don't think are valuable enough to me personally," Cuomo said. "I don't value indulging irrationality, hyper-partisanship."

"I don't like what I do professionally," he added. "I don't think it's worth my time."

Cuomo, who has been in self-quarantine since contracting the Chinese coronavirus, then lamented "talking to Democrats about things that I don't really believe they mean" and "talking to Republicans about them parroting things they feel they have to say."
