Tucker Carlson: What we're watching is a class war disguised as a race war

From the Tuesday broadcast of 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' on the FOX News Channel:

TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS: If you want to work for racial justice and you should want it, demand equal application of the law. If a law applies to one American, it must apply to all Americans. That is always true whether it is a federal perjury statute or the law against looting Macy's. Several demand special privileges are inherent and they corrupt society and crowed social trust. Giving people a pass because of who they are is not an act of compassion. It is the definition of injustice. It hurts everyone, including the people receiving the past.

If you let a kid walk away without charges from a drunk driving accident because his parents are rich, you are not helping the kid. Allowing poor kids to steal shoes from the Nike store because you believe they are oppressed does not help them either. If you raised your own children like that, you would screw them up forever. That does not mean they are not systemic injustices and society, there are.

The new prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is a convicted child sex offender, German police have revealed.

The 43-year-old man, who has not been named, is white with short blond hair, possibly fair, and about 6ft tall with a slim build at the time the toddler vanished on May 3 2007.

Christian Hoppe, from Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), told the country's ZDF television channel the suspect is serving a prison sentence for a sex crime and has two previous convictions for "sexual contact with girls".

People protesting over the death of George Floyd descended on the walled-off compound housing the US embassy in Mexico and proceeded to tag the streets and throw projectiles at the building.

Dozens gathered on the street on Friday outside the diplomatic building, which is located in Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City.

Videos show the protesters throwing stones and other projectiles at the building, which was protected by metal walls, installed to shield it from unrest as demonstrations turned violent.

All Tom Cotton has to do to get back in the NYTimes' good graces is call for the US military to bomb ANOTHER country's civilians

Republican senator Tom Cotton's controversial op-ed demanding US troops be deployed against American protesters would have been embraced by the New York Times if he'd just stuck to cheering on military actions abroad.

The Times has been consumed with angst over the backlash to the Arkansas senator's piece, which called for the military to be turned loose in US cities as an "overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers." Hundreds of the outlet's staffers have slammed management's decision to publish, insisting Cotton's words somehow put them in danger.

Yet the Paper of Record has a long, colorful history of publishing op-eds (and even news pieces) supporting the deployment of the US military against civilian populations. Sure, those populations generally live outside the US - maybe they're in Iraq, or Venezuela, or Iran - but the Times can almost always be relied upon to support the idea that the US military is a force for good, bringing sweetness and light (and, of course, democracy) wherever it goes.

Soaring unemployment is expected to push more than a million more Britons into poverty by Christmas and is already driving up homelessness, charities are warning.

Around 200,000 children are among those facing a new life below the pre-coronavirus poverty line unless ministers reform benefits, according to analysis by the Institute for Public Policy Research thinktank published on Wednesday.
almost 10% of the workforce - by the end of 2020

It has examined a Bank of England economic scenario that predicted that as a result of the lockdown measures unemployment could rise by 2 million to 3.3 million people - almost 10% of the workforce - by the end of 2020.

Comment: The unjustified and tyrannical lockdown accelerated deteriorating living standards for the many in the UK, and the full impact has yet to be seen:

1200 public health experts sign letter advocating mass gatherings because "white supremacy" is a bigger threat than COVID-19

1200 public health experts have signed an open letter asserting that Black Lives Matter mass gatherings should be encouraged because "white supremacy" is a bigger health threat than COVID-19.

Yes, really.

"White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19," states the letter, before adding, "Black people are twice as likely to be killed by police compared to white people, but the effects of racism are far more pervasive," (a claim which is completely misleading given that black people are far likelier to be involved in violent confrontations with police).

Entire Buffalo police tactical unit quit to back officers who were reprimanded for shoving man

buffalo police shove man
An entire tactical unit of a US police department has quit after two officers accused of brutality were placed on unpaid leave, reports local media.

In a video that went viral on Thursday, officers in the city of Buffalo, New York, were seen shoving an elderly man to the ground.

The 75-year-old was seriously injured, and taken to hospital.

All 57 officers in the riot squad have now reportedly resigned in protest at their two colleagues' suspension.

Comment: From what is seen in the video, it can't really be said that this was anything other than an accident. Mr. Gugino was not pushed hard and he clearly tripped. It seems the police officers were not intending to push him to the ground, so the idea that they should be fired seems rather unjustified. If one is going to put themselves in a position of confronting riot cops in a volatile environment, one really has to be prepared for the likelihood that one will be injured.

The professor, who authored a book defending white people from being shamed for racism, acknowledged that the timing of his tweets was "poor" as the country is embroiled in racially-charged protests unseen since the 1960s.

A professor at the University of Central Florida (UCF) is being investigated for a series of controversial statements about black people.

Charles Negy, an associate professor of psychology at the university, came under scrutiny following several tweets in which he condemned what he called black privilege and appeared to blame racism on African Americans.

Comment: Professors should have learned by now that truth is not allowed to be uttered in public. Negy should join is radicalized peers in academia and start practicing right-think before he gets cancelled.

Karl Friston: up to 80% not even susceptible to Covid-19

Karl Friston
Just one month ago, the idea that most people aren't susceptible to Covid-19 โ€” perhaps the overwhelming majority โ€” was considered dangerous denialism. It was startling when Nobel-prize-winning scientist Michael Levitt argued in UnHerd at the start of May that the growth curves of the disease were never truly exponential, suggesting that some sort of "prior immunity" must be kicking in very early.

Today, though, the presence of some level of prior resistance and immunity to Covid-19 is fast becoming accepted scientific fact. Results have just been published of a study suggesting that 40%-60% of people who have not been exposed to coronavirus have resistance at the T-cell level from other similar coronaviruses like the common cold.

Now, from the unlikely source of a prominent member of the "Independent SAGE committee", the group set up by Sir David King to challenge government scientific advice and accused by some of being populated with Left-wing activists, comes a claim that the true portion of people who are not even susceptible to Covid-19 may be as high as 80%.

Coronavirus Fact-Check #6: Does wearing a mask do anything?

mandatory masks
As of two days ago, Boris Johnson's government announced it will henceforth be illegal to use public transportation in the UK, without wearing a mask.

This goes along with many other governments - both local and national - which have enforced mandatory mask-wearing to one extent or another.

Leaving aside the question of whether such steps are necessary to combat a virus they openly admit is harmless to the vast majority of people - the question becomes: Do masks actually do anything to prevent the spread of this disease? Or respiratory diseases in general?

Well, some mask manufacturers don't seem to think so. Printing this warning on the side of the box:

mask warning
But, in case that's just a company seeking to prevent liability, maybe we should look at some proper scientific research on the subject. There's quite a bit of it.

Comment: As Dr. Fauci had said, they are "symbolic". What are they a symbol of? Most likely your submission to the psychopathic dictates of a control system that cares nothing about you, your family or humanity at large. A symbol of your belief in a lie and surrendering of your agency. See also:
