Secret Service Police officers form a block on Pennsylvania Avenue NW to prevent protesters from reaching the White House during a rally in Washington, Saturday, May 30, 2020. Demonstrations took place nationwide in protest of the Memorial Day death of George Floyd, who died in police custody in Minneapolis.
More than 60 Secret Service officers and special agents sustained multiple injuries in three days worth of violent clashes stemming from protests demanding justice for George Floyd in Washington, D.C.

Some demonstrators repeatedly attempted to knock over security barriers and vandalized six Secret Service vehicles, the agency said in a statement on Sunday.

The Telegram messenger app
While many social media users are abandoning established services such as Facebook and Twitter, or being blocked from the platforms, a Russian-made messaging service has risen to become one of America's most popular apps.

On Monday, UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported that Telegram had taken second place in the US downloads chart, according to exclusive data from the Sensor Tower market research agency. Between Wednesday and Sunday last week, more than half a million Americans downloaded the app, almost three times as many as the week before. It boasts of advanced security options, such as "self-destructing messages" for those "looking for extra privacy."

Religious Freedom . . .

The First Amendment articulates the freedom of religion. Which implies the freedom to be free of religion; to not be compelled to join any faith movement or be compelled to obey the tenets of any faith.

This includes faith in the Holy Rag and the tenets of the Sickness Cult, which is a religion by any rational definition.

It requires belief that anything - literally, anything - that covers the face is effective as a barrier against sickness, which is the same as believing that a cracker and some grape juice becomes "the body of Christ" - literally - when a priest performs the necessary unctions.


It requires belief in the assertion that a person who isn't sick can get people sick - which amounts to the same as belief in the assertion of demonic possession and propagation.

No offense meant. A point is being made, that's all.

Members of Azov battalion. inset: Olena Semenyaka, who has been described as the international spokesperson for the Azov movement, speaking at a rally in Riesa, Germany, in 2018.
A prominent ultranationalist activist has lost her role at a prestigious Austrian research institute after evidence arose linking her with a far-right Ukrainian group, known for extremism and antisemitism.

Olena Semenyaka, who has been called "The First Lady of Ukrainian Nationalism," was due to take up a Junior Visiting Fellowship at the Vienna-based Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) in January.

Comment: Nazi-like or fascistic thinking or extremist ideology can only be normal for a psychopathic mind. If we look around us, we can see that fascism is coming alive again more than ever. From today's perspective, WW2 was probably a test run so they could create a Fascistic police state and one giant concentration camp.

Local Nazi-like psychopaths are aggressively supported and glorified by the PTB because they are excellent tools in their agenda for total control and enslavement of the population.

Ukraine has been a fertile ground for Nazism since WW2. The PTB are using Ukraine as a tool against their enemy, the "evil" Russia because she was and still remains a dangerous enemy of psychopathic and fascistic ideology that is widely promoted in our "Western Civilisation." Because they are refusing to accept such a deviant and nonhuman reality, or the "new normal" as they call it.

The Disneyland Resort, Orange County's largest employer, will be a new coronavirus vaccination "supersite. The theme park that closed to guests and workers alike in March is using its famed parking areas, line management, and open space outside of the parks to host what is hoped to be the ultimate cure to reopening the main gates.

Opening this week, Disneyland will be the first large-scale venue in the county. Over the summer, Disneyland Resort reopened Downtown Disney to shopping and dining, though outside eating has been shut down during the most recent coronavirus outbreak. Buena Vista Street remains open to shoppers, with strict rules as to wearing masks, social distancing, and a plethora of handwashing stations. Thousands of park employees have lost their jobs due to the lengthy closure, though large scale vaccinations could be a sign of better days to come.

Victorian protective service officers walk past a sign urging people to stay home during Melbourne's lockdown.
Victoria is forcing every person seeking to enter the Australian state to obtain a new permit, including people who live there. Those who flout the new Covid-19 rules risk being slapped with an AU$5,000 ($3,856) fine.

Premier Daniel Andrews announced the new regulation while detailing a relaxation of his state's hard border with New South Wales.

The changes mean that Victoria residents stuck in regional parts of the neighboring state - which have been designated as an 'orange zone' - can prepare to return to their homes. However, the city of Sydney remains designated as a 'red zone' and is not included in the relaxed measures.

Comment: Australia has proven itself to be quite the totalitarian testing ground so we can expect similar draconian measures to be rolled out elsewhere fairly soon:

A year after the coronavirus first erupted in Wuhan, China has declared "wartime mode" and has locked down another city of 11 million to combat a resurgence of infections.

Authorities in Shijiazhuang, a city in northeastern China, have barred people and vehicles from leaving in efforts to curb infection spread after the country reported its biggest one-day increase in five months with 103 new cases.

The city has been among the hardest hit after a handful of infections first cropped up in Beijing mid-December and spread across at least four surrounding provinces, including Hebei, where Shijiazhuang is located.

NYT reporter Sarah Jeong warns conservative writer Andy Ngo is a 'real threat', should be censored on Twitter

Sarah Jeong, the New York Times reporter who made headlines in 2018 for antagonizing white people, has branded conservative journalist Andy Ngo "dangerous" and called for his censorship on Twitter. In a tweet posted on Jan. 9, Jeong cited a thread from Donovan Farley, another journalist who claimed that Ngo repeatedly "willfully deceives his followers into a frenzy that results in death and rape threats" for journalists and "anyone else" supposedly targeted by his "scorn."


Comment: More on the delightful Sarah Jeong:


Comment: Exposing left-wing radicals is the only thing Ngo is guilty of, but in this day and age it's enough to get you banned permanently from social media. You can support him by buying his book Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy (if you can find it):

Tucker Carlson: Who will stand up for everyday Trump voters facing retribution from the left?

Tucker Carlson

Fri, 08 Jan 2021 00:01 UTC
washington dc protest capitol storming
The Republican Party must look after its voters, not its leaders

Within minutes of Trump supporters breaching the U.S. Capitol building Wednesday, virtually every powerful person in the country erupted in rage at the president.

Business leaders demanded that Trump be removed from office immediately under the 25th Amendment. Members of Congress clamored to impeach him, and at least one Democrat suggested that anyone in Congress who supported his claims of election fraud must be expelled. Meanwhile, the media set about denouncing Trump as a terrorist and a murderer, etc.

Notice a theme? The reaction was all about Donald Trump. The people in charge of every institution in American life spend all day talking about Donald Trump. You may not have noticed, because that's not very different from any other day over the past five-and-a-half years since he announced his candidacy.

Comment: An interesting commentary on Tucker's above piece from streiff over at Red State, is worth reading in its entirety, but here's a snippet:
Where Carlson gets it wrong, though, is the unspoken assumption that at some point, before all the icky people became visible, that the GOP establishment stood up for and protected Americans. That is false. Who sent our manufacturing overseas? Who coddled Communist China's theft of intellectual property? Who allowed nearly unbridled illegal immigration to help their buddies in the US Chamber of Commerce drive down wages with cheap labor? Who pushed to increase the number of H1B visa holders using the myth that there are not enough STEM grads to fill the jobs when a large majority of US STEM grads never find employment in that field? Don't look at the Democrats. Look at the GOP.

The main difference between the GOP and Democrat establishments is that the Democrats want you dead while the GOP wants your vote...of course, given what we know of the Democrat get-out-the-vote program, they may want you dead and then use you to vote for them.
