Bols-of-STEEL: As tyranny takes over under cover of Covid-19, Brazil's president urges citizens to arm themselves

Comment: The following MSM report of what he said is - of course - skewed towards depicting Bolsonaro as a lunatic. But he's actually one of the few sane leaders on Earth; he called this scamdemic correctly at the start, and he is now calling for Brazilians to arm themselves as a preventative measure against other politicians and technocrats using Covid-19 to implement tyrannical schemes...

Brazilians got a shocking look Friday at an expletive-laced meeting between President Jair Bolsonaro and his cabinet when a Supreme Court judge released a video at the center of an investigation targeting the far-right leader.

The April 22 cabinet meeting is under scrutiny by prosecutors probing allegations by former justice minister Sergio Moro that Bolsonaro tried to interfere in federal police investigations.

But it could prove just as damaging to Bolsonaro's 18-month-old government for other sordid details it contains.

They include the president using profanity to insult governors, the education minister calling to throw Supreme Court justices in jail and the environment minister urging the government to legalize mining and farming in the Amazon rainforest while the world is distracted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Warning: The below video contains inappropriate language

Comment: Apparently 2 hours of footage was 'released' (leaked, really, by his political opponents of course). It wasn't all 'ranting' - at one calmer point, Bolsonaro complained that he has struggled to govern because he doesn't know "where our boat is heading."

Leaders are caught between a rock and a hard place. While we few who see what's going on want to see leaders call out this BS for what it is, most of them - unlike Bolsonaro - are for now humoring the panicked herd rather than trying to 'snap them out of the spell'.

Ultimately, however, most of them will snap out of it, and then Bolsonaro's stance - assuming he in the meantime survives political battles against domestic rivals and from 'the international consortium' running this Corona World Order - will pay off for him.

Big Brother benefits: Covid accelerates transition to cashless society - but does it mean more safety or less freedom for us?

Never let a good crisis go to waste, the old saying goes, and we can see that clearly with 'Covid-19 health concerns' being used as an excuse to stop people exercising their right to pay in cash.

The drive towards a cashless society was well under way even before we'd ever heard the words 'Covid-19' but it's been greatly accelerated in Britain these last few weeks. Either businesses have stopped people paying in cash, or they've said that if anyone still wants to use cash and coins, no change will be given if it's not the right amount.

In April, it was announced that passengers on Go North East buses would have to have the exact amount to pay for their fare, or else they would have to pay by card. The managing director of the company said: "This is the latest change we've made to improve safety for both our workforce and our customers."

Exclusive: Big pharma rejected EU plan to fast-track vaccines in 2017

The world's largest pharmaceutical companies rejected an EU proposal three years ago to work on fast-tracking vaccines for pathogens like coronavirus to allow them to be developed before an outbreak, the Guardian can reveal.

The plan to speed up the development and approval of vaccines was put forward by European commission representatives sitting on the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) - a public-private partnership whose function is to back cutting-edge research in Europe - but it was rejected by industry partners on the body.

The commission's argument had been that the research could "facilitate the development and regulatory approval of vaccines against priority pathogens, to the extent possible before an actual outbreak occurs". The pharmaceutical companies on the IMI, however, did not take up the idea.

Bernie Sanders bares his sheepdog teeth to keep own delegates in line for Biden - which was his role all along

Bernie Sanders has warned his delegates against speaking ill of Joe Biden, the embodiment of the Democratic party's corporate core. Beneath the progressive exterior, herding the voters to the establishment is his real function.

In the spring of 2015, when the "independent" Bernie Sanders announced that he was running for United States presidency as a Democrat, the late left Green Party activist Bruce Dixon aptly described Sanders as a "sheepdog" working in service to the corporate and imperial Democratic Party. The role of "democratic socialist" Sanders, Dixon said, would be to shepherd left-leaning voters into the fold, helping give the Wall Street Democrats a progressive, populist, and working-class veneer in the 2016 election. A related function was to help the Democrats seem to have selected a Big Business candidate - Hillary Clinton, as everyone already knew even in early 2015 - not by corporate coronation but through an open debate in which the progressive, social-democratic policies ostensibly advocated by Sanders were fairly and democratically defeated.

Faithful despite the abuse

Sanders did his best to carry out his 'sheepdog' (or "Judas Goat") task in 2016, consistent with his advance promise to support the eventual Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, in that general election. So what if the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) worked hand-in-glove with each other and the corporate media to demean and smear Sanders and his supporters and to rig the primary race and nomination process against the not-so-independent Senator from Vermont? So what if Clinton ran a shockingly vapid campaign, remarkably devoid of serious policy proposals, and based on little more than the awful character of Donald Trump? And so what if the Clintons and their allies and surrogates treated Sanders with open contempt?

America the Terrified: What is making this superpower so sensitive?

They want to meet me not because I'm Mike from Kansas, because I represent the greatest nation in the history of civilization. — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo 28 February 2020

I want everyone to be reminded that America remains the world's leading light of humanitarian goodness as well amidst this global pandemic. — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo 7 April 2020

...no greater privilege and no greater honour than serving as the commander in chief of the greatest military in the history of the world. — Barack Obama January 2018

One of the curiosities about the United States is that, on the one hand, Americans are forever boasting about how powerful, how democratic and altogether wonderful their country is while, on the other hand, they are receptive to assertions that this mightiness and excellence is on the brink of disappearing. It's a very peculiar state of affairs probably best left to psychiatrists to ponder. We laypeople are left wondering: has there ever been so frightened a superpower? So mighty and all about to be lost.

Three years of Trump have destroyed its alliances

The United States is the principal member of NATO - "the greatest alliance the world has ever known". Its flacks sang its praises on its 70^th birthday: greatest ever said Poland's President, essential for world peace, stronger than ever and so on. And yet, a mere three years of President Trump has put it at the gates of death if not already killed it. "The Atlantic alliance as we know it is dead". Or perhaps not dead quite yet: "an erosion of the foundations of the political system that defines — and protects — the modern world"; "The result could be nothing less than the fracturing of the Western alliance".

"... and when we look back on this in two years time, from the ruins of our economy and the ruins of our liberty, we will want to see some kind of justice, that the people who made this decision should pay a penalty for what they've done." Peter Hitchens

Economic activity across the country has collapsed, GDP is shrinking at the fastest pace on record, and the economic data is worse than anytime in history. Every sector of the economy is contracting and every economic indicator is pointing down. According to economist Nouriel Roubini, the country is headed towards a decade of "depression and debt", and that is probably an understatement.

What prompted our leaders to follow the path of China? Were they bullied into it by Dr. Fauci and the Vaccine Gestapo or were they simply reacting to the sudden rise in Covid cases that skyrocketed overnight? Whatever the reason might be, the country is now headed for either a short-but-severe "U" shaped recession or an excruciating-and-protracted 1930s-type slump.

'Dems could pick a glass of water as a candidate': Trump dissects Biden, talks 'Deep State' in Atkinson interview

President Trump has unloaded on rival Joe Biden, who he said "doesn't know he's alive," and has also promised that his new intelligence director and Attorney General William Barr will "Break the deep state."

In a relatively softball interview broadcast on Sunday, the president boasted to Full Measure host Sharyl Atkinson about his response to the coronavirus pandemic, and slammed the Chinese government for its alleged role in allowing the virus to spread.

However, he saved his most characteristically Trumpian insults for Joe Biden, former Vice President and presumed Democratic candidate in this year's election. Asked what Biden's strongest feature as a competitor is, Trump didn't miss an opportunity to insult his opponent.

"Well, I would have said experience, but he doesn't really have experience because I don't think he remembers what he did yesterday," the president quipped, adding "He was never known as a smart person."

Asked about Biden's weakest points, Trump offered a lengthy reply.

Comment: A case of identification: It takes a 'demented party' to promote a 'demented candidate' and see him as a viable option to run the country. 'Nothing' expected; 'nothing' gained. (Note to Trump: That glass is empty!)

What was Guccifer 2.0's hidden agenda?

Why would an alleged GRU officer supposedly part of an operation to deflect Russian culpability suggest that Assange "may be connected with Russians?"

In December, I reported on digital forensics evidence relating to Guccifer 2.0 and highlighted several key points about the mysterious persona that Special Counsel Robert Mueller claims was a front for Russian intelligence to leak Democratic Party emails to WikiLeaks:

Guccifer 2.0 fabricated evidence to claim credit for hacking the DNC (using files that were really Podesta attachments).
Guccifer 2.0's Russian breadcrumbs mostly came from deliberate processes & needless editing of documents.
Guccifer 2.0's Russian communications signals came from the persona choosing to use a proxy server in Moscow and choosing to use a Russian VPN service as end-points (and they used an email service that forwards the sender's IP address, which made identifying that signal a relatively trivial task.)
A considerable volume of evidence pointed at Guccifer 2.0's activities being in American timezones (twice as many types of indicators were found pointing at Guccifer 2.0's activities being in American timezones than anywhere else).
The American timezones were incidental to other activities (eg. blogging, social media, emailing a journalist, archiving files, etc) and some of these were recorded independently by service providers.
A couple of pieces of evidence with Russian indicators present had accompanying locale indicators that contradicted this which suggested the devices used hadn't been properly set up for use in Russia (or Romania) but may have been suitable for other countries (including America).

On the same day that Guccifer 2.0 was plastering Russian breadcrumbs on documents through a deliberate process, choosing to use Russian-themed end-points and fabricating evidence to claim credit for hacking the DNC, the operation attributed itself to WikiLeaks.

This article questions what Guccifer 2.0's intentions were in relation to WikiLeaks in the context of what has been discovered by independent researchers during the past three years.

Who deserves impeachment more: Trump or Schiff?

Donald Trump was impeached last winter for one technical violation of the law and a host of made-up ones. The technical violation was his move to block $391 million in Ukrainian military aid. It was a violation because it interfered with Congress's exclusive spending powers. But it was purely technical because presidents traditionally have wide latitude in determining how expenditures are made. Back in 1801, Thomas Jefferson's treasury secretary, Albert Gallatin, argued that the executive branch should be allowed "a reasonable discretion" while, 160 years later, John F. Kennedy had no scruples about unilaterally moving more than $1 million - a lot of money in those days - from one budget account to another to pay for a pet project known as the Peace Corps. No one thought much of it at the time, so Trump's decision to hold up an appropriation in 2019 doesn't seem like a big deal.

Comment: The Dems pinned their hopes on Schiff - the embodiment of political fever and mental chaos.

Quote of the Day

The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim: nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences.
