Society's Child
New York Times reporter Sarah Maslin Nir visited New Rochelle yesterday and started reporting. She wandered around the mostly deserted down town, talking to restaurant workers and a handful of patrons brave enough to defy the rumors.
By Wednesday evening, it had become clear that the virus was spreading in the community: Gov. Andrew Cuomo had confirmed that the man's wife son and daughter had all tested positive for the virus, as did a neighbor who drove him to the hospital last week. And just a few minutes ago, Cuomo confirmed the number of cases in the state had risen to 11, with ten of those 11 cases in Westchester.
Last week, Pollak attended his first questioning session after the Israeli Attorney General ordered a criminal probe against him for "incitement to terror and to violence" over a new article published online. In addition to the incitement case, Pollak is facing another ongoing trial and several criminal probes into a dozen demonstrations he had participated in.
Palestinian journalist Ahmad Al-Bazz interviewed Pollak following his release.
Seibt calls herself a "climate realist" and bluntly rejects the term "climate change denier," which is another label used to describe her and her supporters by the opposing side. It implies that "we're just selfish and ignorant," but it's not the case, she pointed out.
"We're about being scientific skeptics and looking into more sensible ways to improve the environment to be more in line with our values when it comes to interacting with nature," the 19-year-old said.
It looks a much less radical stance than the one of 17-year-old environmental activist and mainstream media darling Greta Thunberg, who insists that mankind must urgently cut emissions to zero to avoid a catastrophic breakdown of the climate on Earth.
I had the chance to meet Carl Benjamin face to face at the International Conference on Men's Issues in 2019. We spoke a bit about recent internet controversies, and I wondered to myself why exactly progressives found the man so threatening and detestable.
Obviously, it's because he is a vocal opponent of identity politics in the online sphere — but he isn't alone in this worldview. There are multiple YouTube channels that decry identity politics and social justice warriors. Few have suffered the same level of deplatforming that Benjamin has had. His other channels had already been completely demonetized, and outside of YouTube, he's been banned from Twitter, and then from Patreon. However, all that had to start from somewhere, and YouTube is where Benjamin made his bones.
Comment: Maybe it was Benjamin's foray into real world politics where he would be able to do more than just comment, that tipped the YouTube libtards over the edge? Still, Cenk Uyger did the same and YouTube still loves him. So yeah, what's really up?

In a ruling today, the higher court held the central bank's circular dated April 6, 2018, as unconstitutional. The 180-page ruling document states: "writ petitions are allowed and the Circular dated 06- 04-2018 is set aside."
In April 2018, the RBI barred banks from serving cryptocurrency exchanges and firms. The banking ban prompted several exchanges to file petitions that sought to overturn the RBI move, a process that culminated in today's court ruling.

Comment: How symbolic. While they may or may not have gotten coronavirus, it's a sure thing they're already infected with one of the worst mind viruses of all: Zionism.
It could not be immediately determined how many received the email and the breadth of its distribution.
"The Office of Attending Physician has been made aware of an informational memo sent by AIPAC regarding a possible coronavirus exposure that may have occurred regarding attendees at the recent AIPAC meeting in Washington, DC," the email stated.
AIPAC referred CNBC to its tweet when asked for comment.
The AIPAC memo said it has been made aware that a group of attendees from New York "was potentially in contact with prior to the conference with an individual who contracted coronavirus." That group has been added to the self-quarantine list.
Comment: Netanyahu is telling Israelis not to shake hands, suggesting an Indian-inspired "Namaste", instead (which flattered the Indian embassy) - Israel currently has 15 confirmed cases and 7000 people in quarantine. Iran, much harder hit so far, is closing schools, and limiting travel via checkpoints - Iran has 3513 cases in almost all of its provinces, 107 deaths. A top IRGC commander suggested the virus might be "the product of an American biological [attack]", warning that it will reach them too. The first 2 cases were confirmed in Turkmenistan, according to medical sources, but officials are denying it. Bosnia also recorded its first cases, a man and child.
California has declared a state of emergency after its first virus-related death, and the House passed an $8.3bn emergency funding bill. British airline Flybe has shut its doors for good due to a lull in books and thus funds. The coronavirus scare may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. And finally, HSBC has evacuated its London HQ after one employee tested positive.

The Palestinian Economy Ministry said in a statement that the American company has reversed its policy on charging delivery fees for items being delivered to customers in the Palestinian territories.
It attributed the policy reversal by Amazon to "a series of Palestinian measures aiming at halting disregard to the Palestinian identity and recognising settlements."
Comment: At least it's one less indignity to be endured by Palestinian citizens.
Jimmie Akesson traveled to the Turkish border city of Edirne along with his top aide, having in their sights people set to cross into neighboring Greece. Over 12,000 migrants amassed there shortly after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made a power move in proclaiming they are free to continue their journey westward.
While at the border, Akesson and his entourage handed out leaflets discouraging migrants from making it into Sweden. "Don't come to us. Sweden is full. We can't give you more money or provide any housing. Sorry for this message," the flyers read.
He was also pictured talking to aspiring migrants, purportedly delivering his message in greater detail.
The images of the Swedish Democrats (SD) leader made rounds on the party's social media accounts, garnering numerous shares and comments.

"We are gradually weaning off [oil], by the way. We are really moving away from it, because the share of non-oil and non-gas revenues is growing. But this requires time, and it cannot be done at the drop of a hat," Putin said in an interview to TASS news agency, released on Wednesday.
Despite the official statistics showing that inflation rate currently stands at around 3.5 percent, Russian people feel that prices are going up and their incomes have been on the decline in recent years, the president acknowledged. Incomes were hit badly by a steep decline in global crude prices, and the government is "obliged" to do something to settle this key social issue, he said.
Comment: Under Putin's astute management, Russia, is well-positioned to withstand the global economic downturn:

- IMF warns of new 'Great Depression', Russia ahead of the curve due to increased cash & gold reserves
- Russia rapidly recovered from sanctions & drop in oil prices - British investment trust

Over a dozen terrorists tried to use their weapon of last resort in the strategic town of Saraqeb, which sits on an important highway juncture in Syria's Idlib province, according to the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria.
In an effort to "frustrate the advance of Syrian government forces" in the western quarters of Saraqeb, they tried to detonate "high-explosive ammunition along with tanks filled with toxic chemicals," the statement revealed. Their attack, however, was to no avail.















Comment: This intelligent young woman actually sounds quite sane - it's no wonder the media has dubbed her an "evil right antichrist" for daring to counter the climate-change racket.
