Gallup's annual poll measuring the public trust in mass media found a record high number of those who have no trust at all.

Six in ten of those polled have have "not very much" trust (27 percent) in the media, while those who have "none at all" hit a record 33 percent.

Only four in ten say they have "a great deal" (nine percent) or "fair amount" (31 percent) of trust in mass media.

The 40 percent number who do — for some dumb reason — trust the media is higher than the 32 percent record low achieved during the 2016 presidential election, but it is also down five points since 2018.

The 33 percent with no trust whatsoever is a record high.

Middlesbrough mayor Andy Preston britain covid lockdown

Statement comes just days after he asked for more help

COVID lockdowns were thrown into chaos today after a mayor declared war on tough new restrictions - and vowed: "We will defy the government" despite asking for new measures just days ago.

Middlesbrough mayor Andy Preston fought back after Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced the latest measures in a Commons address.

A ban on different households meeting will be introduced after a spike in infections. It will be illegal to meet in settings, such as pubs and restaurants, in the Liverpool City Region, Warrington, Halton and Hartlepool.

Convenient timing? Thousands of new illegal migrants push into Guatemala on way to US border

Reports from the Honduras-Guatemala border shows large groups of migrants illegally pushing past security personnel. Despite the threat of COVID-19, the migrants forced their way across the border.

A tweet released by New York Times video correspondent Brent McDonald shows a "large caravan of Central American migrants fleeing pandemic-induced poverty" pushing their way past Guatemalan border security officials. He reports the group is heading to Mexico — presumably with an intended destination of the U.S. southern border.

Comment: RT reports Guatemalan border patrols are turning back the illegal migrants:

The Guatemalan government has vowed to catch and expel US-bound migrants who entered the country illegally from Honduras, citing fears over the spread of coronavirus. Some 3,000 people have already crossed the Guatemalan border.

The influx of migrants poses a serious health threat amid the ongoing pandemic, Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei said while promising to push the group back.

"The order has been given to detain all those who entered illegally, and return them to the border of their country," Giammattei said in a televised speech.
We will not allow any foreigner who has used illegal means to enter the country, to think that they have the right to come and infect us and put us at serious risk.
Around 3,000 people entered the country on Thursday, with many of them simply pushing their way through border crossing points. The migrants rushed deeper into Guatemala afterwards, with many boarding passing traffic to move faster. At least one migrant was killed as he attempted to climb onto a moving truck, graphic imagery circulating online shows.

Large groups of migrants were spotted sleeping in the streets of Guatemalan towns overnight, with local police keeping a close eye on them.

Guatemalan authorities said earlier that some 3,000 more migrants were expected to reach the country's borders on Friday. Guatemalan director of migration, Guillermo Diaz, has called upon Honduran authorities to ramp up border security in the neighboring state and assist his country in containing the migrant flow.

The ongoing migrant caravan is the largest since the coronavirus pandemic reached Central America back in March. The pandemic has severely affected international travel in the region, including for illegal migrants, as well as elsewhere across the globe.

By postponing an exhibition featuring paintings of KKK figures, senseless censors are devaluing art

Guston felt compelled to tell a story of an America ‘run afoul of its democratic promise’ ... Riding Around by Philip Guston, 1969.

An exhibition by US painter Philip Guston has been put back until 2024, due to sensitivities over its Ku Klux Klan content. Political gestures like this compromise the art and insult the audience's intelligence.

The announcement of the postponement of an art exhibition has exposed the political motivation of museums. The exhibition by American painter Philip Guston (1913-1980) - due to tour Washington DC, London, Boston and Houston - has been pushed back four years.

Some of Guston's most famous paintings feature figures in Ku Klux Klan hoods, portraying them in a critical light. These KKK images - however mocking - have spooked museum directors.

Coinbase CEO discourages employee activism, will pay SJW employees to quit

Coinbase is offering to pay employees who decide to quit the cryptocurrency company after it discouraged employee activism and discussing of political and social issues at work.

CEO Brian Armstrong told Coinbase staff in an email that the company would offer severance packages for anyone "who doesn't feel comfortable with this new direction." The pay packages range from four to six months, depending on how long an employee had been with the company.

"Life is too short to work at a company that you aren't excited about," Armstrong said in the email, which was previously reported by The Block. "Hopefully this package helps create a win-win outcome for those who choose to opt out."

Comment: It's curious that anyone felt that divisive political debate and activism are appropriate in a work environment in the first place. Go to work, do your job and fight against the patriarchy in your time outside of work. It's not rocket science.

Japan 'Twitter killer' pleads guilty to killing and dismembering nine people

People form a line outside the Tachikawa branch of the Tokyo District Court on Wednesday for the first trial hearing of Takahiro Shiraishi, who has been indicted on charges of murdering, dismembering and storing the bodies of eight women and a man in his apartment in Zama in Kanagawa Prefecture in 2017.

A man dubbed the "Twitter killer" for luring his victims on social media admitted in court Wednesday to killing nine people, pleading guilty to murdering, dismembering and storing the bodies in his apartment in a 2017 case involving victims who had expressed suicidal thoughts via the social networking site.

Takahiro Shiraishi, the 29-year-old defendant, told the Tachikawa branch of the Tokyo District Court that the allegations against him were "correct."

His defense team, however, taking a different stance from Shiraishi, argued that he killed the victims — eight women and one man ages 15 to 26 — with their consent as they had expressed suicidal thoughts on social media, and therefore was guilty of the lesser charge of homicide with consent.

According to the indictment, Shiraishi strangled and dismembered his victims from Tokyo and four other prefectures from August to October in 2017. Their bodies were discovered inside containers such as cooling boxes in his apartment in Zama, Kanagawa Prefecture.

Shiraishi is alleged to have stolen cash from them and sexually assaulted all the female victims. He owed one of the women around ¥360,000 ($3,410).

US political discourse is so toxic & divided that friends of 30 years no longer talk to me - The America I loved has gone forever

The bitter divisions in America are turning neighbour against neighbour and tearing families apart, amid an atmosphere of indoctrination where freedom of thought and speech is outlawed. I fear we're on the road to civil war.

2020 has been one hell of a year. It included getting Brexit done, Covid-19, big-tech tyranny featuring extreme censorship by Twitter, Google, Facebook and Amazon as well as the stealth implementation of a social credit framework by Silicon Valley oligarchs as they plunder the economy under the diversionary power grab by pay-to-play politicians implementing quasi-permanent unlawful lockdowns. I'm sorry to say that the USA will become a banana republic.

In addition, the global economy is in the worst economic depression in history - one that will only deepen as unemployment rates skyrocket as we enter the last few months of 2020.

I bet most folks wish they could put a bullet in the head of 2020 and move straight on into 2021, but there are three months left - 2020 is only 75% done. What else could go wrong?

Well in the USA, we still have to deal with a presidential election and the appointment of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court of the United States - two things that the left are fighting tooth and nail to stop.

Comment: And you can be sure that many Americans - those who have kept their heads over the past few years - feel similarly.

911 emergency phone lines went down across the country: Was this a TEST?

As we inch closer and closer to election day and the potential chaos that will ensue, more and more signs of a destabilization of American society that will have reverberations across the world are coming into view. Pieces of the puzzle that have been put together by writers such as myself, Brandon Turbeville, Whitney Webb, Alan Watt and many others are now seen coming together in real life. We are just a month away from one of the most simulated events in years, the 2020 election.

Both I and Whitney Webb (her articles are a MUST READ) have been writing about the coming chaos that is clearly slated to take place in November if Deep State elements have their way.

But there are more than simple "war games" and simulations taking place right now. What possibly amounts to real-world simulations, attributed to systems outages, have recently developed across the country.

Poland's new education minister draws fire from opposition for criticizing LGBT ideology

RT
Thu, 01 Oct 2020 13:01 UTC

The appointment of a conservative anti-LGBT crusader to head Poland's education and science ministry has caused a meltdown among the country's opposition and will likely intensify Warsaw's stand-off with Brussels.

Przemyslaw Czarnek, a professor at the Catholic University of Lublin, who has a long record of incendiary statements on gay rights, is part of the new cabinet presented on Wednesday after a reshuffling of the government by the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party. He now heads the newly created Ministry of Education and Science, which merges the functions of two previous ministries into one.

The politician is a veteran moral crusader against what is termed "LGBT ideology" by Polish conservatives. During the parliamentary election campaign this summer he told Poles to "stop listening to idiocy about some human rights or some equality," adding that "these people are not normal people." On other occasions, he has claimed there is "no doubt" that the "ideology" grew out of both Marxism and Nazi Socialism, and linked the sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests to homosexuality.
