What matters to transnational progressives is not "government by the consent of the governed," but the elite consensus developed and refined in unelected judicial-administrative bureaucracies.

In reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, all European democracies have instituted large-scale emergency measures. But one nation in particular, Hungary, has been subjected to an unprecedented barrage of international criticism for its response to the crisis.

The Hungarians are charged with moving towards "dictatorship," bypassing the rule of law, suspending the parliament, and canceling elections. These accusations are false on all counts.

As long as UNIFIL serves Israel, the Hezbollah deterrence will remain

Every year, before renewing the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) mandate, voices are heard from Israel and the US administration asking to expand the term and duties of UNIFIL in order to serve Israel's goals. The US administration stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel in trying to achieve by other means what it could not accomplish through military confrontation. The aim is always to cripple Hezbollah and limit its social and military capabilities. Until this goal is achieved, the UNIFIL mandate is annually renewed until the time comes when Israel no longer needs these "peacekeeping forces" in Lebanon.

Sources within the "Axis of the Resistance" believe
"the presence of UNIFIL in the south of Lebanon will not change as long as it fits Israel's interests and objectives. Otherwise, its presence or absence makes no difference to Lebanon and in particular to the south of Lebanon's inhabitants. UNIFIL officers observe developments and report what they see without intervening or putting an end to daily Israeli violations of Lebanese territory by land, sea and air. When Israel opens the border gates and soldiers cross the borders violating Lebanon's sovereignty, UNIFIL forces are called upon only when Lebanese Army officers take combat positions facing the intruders. When Israel declares war on Lebanon, UNIFIL counts the tanks advancing, and its headquarters receives instructions from the Israeli army as to where they can or cannot be present. The Israeli army has even bombed UNIFIL positions, under the watchful but impotent eyes of the United Nations Security Council: Israel benefits from unlimited support from the US."

Tel Aviv has accused Tehran of targeting Israel in cyber attacks "on a daily basis", despite Iran denying the accusations and insisting that the country "does not engage in cyber warfare".

The Israeli "high-level security cabinet" has reportedly condemned an "Iranian cyber attack" on Tel Aviv's civil water infrastructure, according to the Times of Israel. The participants of the meeting were reportedly forced to sign confidentiality forms.

The alleged attack in question that reportedly took place in late April was described by one of Israeli officials as a "significant escalation" by Iran that "crossed a red line" as it targeted civil facilities. Officials note that the attack did little damage, despite minor problems reported in local councils.

Comment: Is this just another case of Israel accusing others of what it does all the time?

India is seeking to attract US businesses, including medical devices giant Abbott Laboratories, to relocate from China as US steps up efforts to blame Beijing for its role in the coronavirus pandemic.

The government in April reached out to more than 1,000 companies in the US and through overseas missions to offer incentives for manufacturers seeking to move out of China, according to Indian officials who asked not to be identified.

India is prioritising medical equipment suppliers, food processing units, textiles, leather and auto parts makers among more than 550 products covered in the discussions, they said.

Schiff's lies compared with transcripts blows Russiagate hoax wide open

This news this piece carries is so important that we include two videos with it. The Russiagate hoax was blown to bits on Friday, May 8th. V-E Day in the West might well be also called V-T day for the United States. Honestly, it ought to be V-T day for the world, and for Russia in particular, because now, more than ever, the folly of sanctions is obvious.

The release of the FBI transcripts reveals a plot by the very real Deep State to prevent President Trump from being elected, and further, to impair or destroy his presidency, once elected by picking off anyone close to him, in an effort to eventually drive him out of office by innuendo over fabricated Russian "connections."

The basic truth of the transcripts is that the very people that Adam Schiff, especially, insinuated as key witnesses TO the FACT of collusion actually stated very clearly - to a person! - that they had NO such evidence as the result of any interviews or interrogations conducted against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Trump admin rejects CDC's reopening guidelines citing religious, economic, liberty concerns as per Bill of Rights

The Trump administration is pushing back against the US Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) guidelines for lifting COVID-19 restrictions across the United States, arguing on multiple grounds including potential infringement on religious liberty.

The CDC's interim guidance document covers a range of areas, including schools, mass transit, restaurants, and more, with suggestions such as moving toward disposable utensils and closing bus or subway routes. Its section for "communities of faith" is currently blank, with a note stating that it will be added later in consultation with the White House, Health and Human Services' Office for Civil Rights, and Office of Management and Budget's Office of Information & Regulatory Affairs.

The New York Times reports:
"But White House and other administration officials rejected the recommendations over concerns that they were overly prescriptive, infringed on religious rights and risked further damaging an economy that Mr. Trump was banking on to recover quickly."
The religious recommendations currently under consideration include encouraging facemasks inside churches, and considering "suspending use of a choir or musical ensemble" and "temporarily limiting the sharing of frequently touched objects," such as prayer books or collection baskets.

Not once but 3 times, Biden was reportedly involved with the Russia collusion hoax

President Donald Trump hinted that Barack Obama and Joe Biden could soon be implicated for their alleged roles in the controversial Russia collusion investigation.

During an appearance Friday on Fox & Friends when discussing Obama's role in the Russia probe, Trump said:
"There's more to come from what I understand, and they're going to be far greater than what you've seen so far, and what you've seen so far is incredible, especially as it relates to President Obama.

"I believe he and Biden...Sleepy Joe was involved in this also, very much, and other people around President Obama were totally involved."
Below, in no particular order, are three publicly known connections between Biden and the Russia probe. The associations could become problematic for the presumptive Democratic nominee as evidence continues to mount pointing to possible wrongdoing during the course of the Russia collusion case.

Three members of the White House coronavirus taskforce have placed themselves in self-quarantine after contact with someone who tested positive for Covid-19. It comes as the British prime minister, Boris Johnson, prepares to unveil his "roadmap" to a new normality in a national broadcast and global infections pass four million.

Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, Stephen Hahn, are all expected to work remotely due to potential exposure to Covid-19.

Fauci's institute said that he has tested negative for Covid-19 and will continue to be tested regularly. It added that he is considered at relatively low risk based on the degree of his exposure, and that he would be taking appropriate precautions to mitigate the risk to personal contacts while still carrying out his duties. While he will stay at home and telework, Fauci will go to the White House if called and take every precaution, the institute said.

Netanyahu's nightmare scenario to MKs: If it reinfects, the virus could 'end humanity'!

At the height of Israel's battle against COVID-19 last month, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned several Knesset members from his Likud party that if reports from overseas of patients who had recovered from the virus again testing positive for it were accurate, humanity could be wiped out, a TV report claimed on Friday night.

"There are reports from overseas about reinfection," Channel 12 news said the unnamed Likud MKs recalled Netanyahu saying. "If this is true," the prime minister reportedly went on, "the significance could be the end of humanity." Others with whom the prime minister spoke to, the TV report said, do not remember him using that precise phrase, but say he warned that the pandemic could lead to "scenarios of global anarchy."

The extraordinary quotes were part of a report on the warnings reportedly delivered by Netanyahu and Israel's Health Ministry Director-General Moshe Bar Siman-Tov to cabinet ministers and others handling the crisis in recent weeks. Imposing stringent lockdown policies since March, Israel has kept its death toll down to 245, and 11,000 of its 16,400 cases have recovered. In the last few days, it has been gradually easing many restrictions.

Comment: Is Netanyahu's concern of failing immunity a valid one, given immunities are gained naturally in the exposure process? Or perhaps planting fear better serves to 'immunize governments' from public blame for extending lockdowns and Draconian measures.

'Radical Transformation': Supreme Court unanimously overrules the Ninth Circuit for 'abuse of discretion'

In an unanimous opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg excoriated the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for "an abuse of discretion" when it brought in third parties to argue the case and ruled on that basis. That approach "drastically" changed the judicial norms of having the parties present arguments. The Ninth Circuit opinion was written by A. Wallace Tashima who ruled with Marsha S. Berzon, and Andrew D. Hurwitz. Hurwitz was brought into the case after Judge Stephen Reinhardt died.

The case involves the conviction of Evelyn Sineneng-Smith for violating a federal law related to encouraging illegal immigration. The Ninth Circuit reversed but not before the court named three amici and invited them to brief and argue the issues. The third added amici were the Federal Defender Organizations of the Ninth Circuit, the Immigrant Defense Project[,] and the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild."
