The future in Germany is lockdown after lockdown. After the COVID lockdown, Germany now moving to impose a climate lockdown, says German Editor in Chief.

Germany's Bild TV YouTube site here looks at the latest Socialist-Green government's initiatives to combat the country's deepening energy crisis.

The latest initiatives have been drawn up by Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Green Party). Among the new rules, according to BILD TV: Shops are no longer allowed to keep the entrances continuously open (in order to prevent energy from being wasted by excess heating or air conditioning).

In the video, BILD TV asks its Editor in Chief, Claus Strunz, what's behind the new regulation, commenting that essentially what we have is a government that is increasingly encroaching ever deeper into our private lives. "Something that nutty could only be conjured up by some crazy bureaucrats," Strunz comments. "That's precisely what we don't want: the government ruling the area of retail."

The Portland Stake Tabernacle congregation has been driven out by antifa riots and the breakdown of social order
Bishop Dave Noble said Mormons are fleeing Portland due to rioting and politics.

A nearly 100-year-old Portland, Oregon church has been abandoned and is currently up for sale due to "Mormon flight" from the area, as members of the Church of Latter-day Saints are fleeing because of the city's historic crime, homelessness, and collapse of social norms.

Bishop Dave Noble told the Willamette Week that attendees were scared away by rioting, politics, and are moving to Utah and Idaho. This "Mormon flight" has caused Oregon to lose 1.5 percent of its Mormon residents.

CNN is being gutted because leftist media is not as appealing as they fantasize

Brian Stelter, latest causality in CNN's woke purge
One thing about leftist culture that never ceases to amaze is their ability to take a failure and pretend that it was actually a success. This attitude is perhaps an extension of their penchant for propaganda - They lie so much about everything that they end up falling victim to their own disinformation. They tell their enemies they are winning even when they are losing, and then they actually start to believe it themselves.

It's a bit like the old rule for drug dealers - Everything falls apart when you start smoking the drugs you sell.

For CNN and outlets like them, the problem is that you can't run from reality forever. If no one wants to watch your content then you can't force them to do so. Leftists wish they could use force, but they can't, so instead they try to use gaslighting and shame. This has translated into the typical tactics we see today from the media, which include race baiting and accusations of bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, fascism, etc. These tactics really took center stage from 2016 onward and they haven't worked yet, but the political left continues to beat that dead horse in the hopes that it will one day win the Kentucky Derby.

MSNBC says US already in civil war; repeatedly calls GOP a "fascist" party

msnbc civil war
Remember, Fox News, OAN and Newsmax are the extremist propagandists though.

MSNBC host Tiffany Cross declared that the U.S. is already in a civil war, and blamed conservative news organisations for stoking violence, then in a subsequent broadcast brought on a guest who repeatedly claimed that the Republican Party is "fascist."

Cross made the comments while filling in for race baiter Joy Reid last week, stating "At this point, I do think we have to have serious conversations around preparing for actual violence. People keep saying a civil war is coming. I would say a civil war is here. And I don't mean to be hyperbolic."

Comment: Rather than warning about a coming civil war, MSNBC appears to be stoking it. By smearing conservatives as "fascist" and "extremist," and painting them as the enemy of democracy, they're only encouraging divisiveness. But whatever gets the clicks.

Despite sanctions Moscow says Russian Arctic shipping will thrive as it plans 153 new ice-class ships & 10 icebreakers

© Sovcomflot.ruRussia wants to build a big number of new ice-class ships, among them nuclear powered icebreakers.
The development plan that was adopted by the federal government on the 4th of August has grand ambitions for the Russian Arctic. Over the period until 2035, a total of 1,8 trillion rubles (€30,1 billion) is to be invested in 152 regional projects.


Comment: Clearly Russia does not believe the demonstrably false claims that the arctic will be 'free of ice' due to man-made global warming; it wouldn't risk such massive investments without good reason to think otherwise: Two icebreakers sent to rescue TWENTY ice-locked ships on Northern Sea Route in the Arctic


Among them is the building of 153 new ice-class ships, including ten icebreakers, twelve new seaports, twelve satellites, thirteen helicopters, several hospitals and search and rescue units.

All of this will allow Russia to transport up to 100 million tons of goods per year by 2025 and 200 million tons by 2030, the federal Ministry of the Far East and Arctic informs.

The Los Angeles Public Health Department is facing growing criticism over its decision to offer free COVID-19 testing for animals, despite there being no positive cases reported among animals in the area.

LA Public Health announced the initiative on Aug. 20 and said it has received funding from the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor COVID-19 in animals in Los Angeles County.

"This project will help us to learn more about COVID-19 from a One Health perspective, meaning that we can learn more about the significance of COVID-19 in human, animal, and environmental relationships," the public health body said.

Comment: That they're being mocked on social media seems appropriate. They're basically spending taxpayer money to see if people's pets have the flu.

Speaker of the senate criticized 'preaching about religion' in the post-Roe era.

A black Christian female will not serve on the University of Houston student government's judicial branch this year after she quoted the Bible while interviewing for a position.

Mya Little (pictured) opened a speech at an interview session over the summer with a Bible quote, according to The Cougar, the campus newspaper. Little had applied to be an associate justice on the SGA Supreme Court.

Comment: It would seem anti-Christian sentiments are now acceptable form of discrimination at all levels of society. It's to the point where officials don't even try to hide their blatant bigotry.

The Big Apple could be on the hook for more than $300 million per year to provide shelter space in hotels for newly arrived migrants, a Post analysis shows.

City officials have either rented or announced plans to secure roughly 5,800 hotel rooms over the last month in response to the influx from the southern border, which quickly overwhelmed the already-strained homeless shelter system.

One of the largest operations is planned for the ROW NYC hotel on 8th Avenue in Midtown, where officials are looking to rent as many as 600 rooms and provide intake and other services for the recent arrivals.

3 Arkansas officers suspended after video of violent arrest emerges

arkansas police suspended
© FacebookThree officers on the Arkansas police force have been suspended after brutally beating a suspect they were detaining.
Three cops in Arkansas were suspended after a video emerged that showed them brutally beating a detainee.

In the TikTok video posted on Twitter, one officer holds the man down to the ground as another repeatedly and relentlessly punches the man's head and a third forcibly nails him with his knee multiple times in a row.

At one point, the officer punching the man in the head lifts the man's head up from the ground and slams it back down into the cement sidewalk as the man tries to protect his head with his hands, the video shows.

Comment: Federal officials are now investigating. From NBC News:
State police and federal officials launched investigations into the use of force against a man by Arkansas law enforcement officers that was captured on viral video, officials said Monday.
...

The deputies and the officer involved were identified as Crawford County Sheriff's Deputies Zack King and Levi White and Mulberry Police Officer Thell Riddle, the sheriff's office revealed Monday.

At a news conference Monday, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said the officers' conduct was "reprehensible."

"First of all, that is reprehensible conduct in which a suspect is beat in that fashion," he said. "We don't have all of the details, and certainly that suspect had a history of concern that was legitimate for the officers, but that response was not consistent with the training that they receive as certified officers with the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy."

Hutchinson said that, in addition to a probe by Arkansas State Police, the U.S. Justice Department is also investigating.
...

The sheriff's department said that the suspect was cooperative at first but that the men ultimately ended up in a physical confrontation.

Damante said at a news conference Monday that the suspect, who wasn't known to police, as he was from another state, became violent when officers were about to take him into custody. He said his officers' account of the incident matched what the viral video showed.

Damante said his officers "admitted that they had to use force to subdue him."

He said there is dashcam video of the interaction from the Mulberry officer's vehicle, which was handed to state police.

"The dashcam does bring to light other things that happened there, that initiated, that wasn't caught on the citizen's camera," Damante said about the video.

The sheriff's deputies didn't have body cameras. Damante said he is trying to get body and dash cameras for the department.
...

He said that the FBI is expected to speak with state police Monday and that an internal investigation within the sheriff's office is underway.

The state investigators are focusing solely on the use of force at the store, and they will forward their conclusion, including possible recommended charges, to local prosecutors.

A detailed list of charges for which the suspect was booked, according to state police, includes: second-degree battery, resisting arrest, refusal to submit, possessing an instrument of crime, criminal trespass, criminal mischief, terroristic threatening and second-degree assault.
