House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif. speaks before she signs the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

The national debt rose above $26 trillion for the first time this week, as the U.S. government spends at a historic pace while pumping trillions into coronavirus relief.

The debt has been climbing upward at a startling pace. According to data released by the Treasury Department, the national debt hit $24 trillion on April 7 and $25 trillion on May 5.

Meanwhile, the government recorded a budget deficit of $1.88 trillion for the first eight months of this budget year, larger than any annual shortfalls in U.S. history. The deficit for the October-May period was more than double the $738.6 billion for the same period last year, according to Treasury Department numbers released Wednesday.

Comment: The cost of the lockdowns in both the economic sphere and to human life will far outweigh what would have otherwise been considered little more than a flu-like virus:

Undercover Nurse Exposes Neglect, Mismanagement & Corruption in Treatment of Covid-19 Patients in New York City

Her story perfectly aligns with that of other doctors and nurses, confirming the over-use of ventilators causing avoidable deaths, forced use of DNRs, financial incentives for Covid diagnoses and a top-down, non-scientific approach spreading fear and making the situation incalculably worse.

Erin Marie Olszewski is a Nurse-turned-investigative journalist, who has spent the last few months on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, on the inside in two radically different settings. Two hospitals. One private, the other public. One in Florida, the other in New York.

And not just any New York public hospital, but the "epicenter of the epicenter" itself, the infamous Elmhurst in Donald Trump's Queens. As a result of these diametrically opposed experiences, she has the ultimate "perspective on the pandemic". She has been where there have been the most deaths attributed to Covid-19 and where there have been the least.

Erin enlisted in the Army when she was 17. She deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Part of her duties involved overseeing aid disbursement and improvements to hospital facilities. While in country she received the Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service, and was wounded in combat. Erin eventually retired as a sergeant, and became a civilian nurse in 2012. Erin is a medical freedom and informed consent advocate. She co-founded the Florida Freedom Alliance but no longer has any connection with the organization.

Her story perfectly aligns with that of other doctors and nurses who have come forward or posted to social media, and confirms some of the worst aspects of the research OffGuardian (and other alt-media outlets) have been doing. Including the over-use of ventilators in such a way that causes avoidable deaths, the forced use of DNRs, financial incentives for Covid diagnoses and in general a top-down, non-scientific approach which spread fear and made the situation incalculably worse.

Tucker Carlson: We were all lied to about the Coronavirus pandemic

Tucker Carlson delivered another scathing review of the state of affairs in the United States, with liberal governments actually showing themselves as more and more culpable in the deaths of people precisely because of the coronavirus lockdowns, which were touted as life-saving. His monologue, a ten-minute, absolutely packed commentary, delivered the strongest blow yet to the latest coup attempt in progress. However, he is not saying anything we did not already sense or know. For example:

We sense that this pandemic is far, far less than advertised. While the numbers of cases continue to grow worldwide, the fatality rate is very low, more analogous to a bad flu year but only in some locales. As of June 11th, 2020 the John Hopkins COVID tracking site gives these selected statistics:

'Difficult to understand': World Health Organization official can't explain Russia's low Covid-19 death rate

Russia's relatively low number of Covid-19 fatalities has been labeled "unusual" by Michael Ryan, a World Health Organization (WHO) official. He said the low count could be down to the way the country is classifying deaths.

Comment: Perhaps Russia is correctly NOT labeling anyone who died of illness as dying from coronavirus, unlike many other countries.

Speaking at a press conference, the executive director of the WHO Health Emergencies Programme said Russia's stats are an outlier compared to other European nations, but that he does not believe the country is covering up the scale of pandemic.

"The low death rate is difficult to understand in the context of the population and the health systems across the European region being quite similar in terms of their sophistication and availability," Ryan said. "The age profile of people in the Russian Federation is not greatly different to that of other nations; neither is the profile of people with underlying conditions."

NYPD cop charged after footage shows him SHOVING 20yo to the ground, calling her a 'stupid fu*g bch!'

A New York City police officer who was seen in a video shoving a woman to the ground at a George Floyd protest in Brooklyn on May 29 is facing multiple charges, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office said.

Officer Vincent D'Andraia turned himself in at the 84th Precinct in Brooklyn on Tuesday. He is charged with misdemeanor assault, criminal mischief, harassment and menacing in the incident the city's police commissioner Dermot Shea has described as "troubling" and "disturbing."

He is the first city police officer in New York to face arrest over his conduct during the large protests that have followed since Floyd, a black man, died on May 25 after a white officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes in Minneapolis during an arrest.

"I fully support the long-held American tradition of non-violent protest," District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement, adding that he "cannot tolerate the use of excessive force against anyone exercising this Constitutionally guaranteed right. This is especially true of those who are sworn to protect us and uphold the law."

The madness of censoring shows like Little Britain

David Walliams and Matt Lucas, Little Britain

Cancel culture is out of control. Over the past 24 hours Little Britain, The League of Gentlemen and Chris Lilley's brilliant comedy shows have been shoved down the memory hole by Netflix and the BBC. Why? Because the kangaroo court of correct-thinking has found these comedy classics guilty of offensiveness. Punish them, purge them, cast them out into the wilderness of 'problematic' culture.

The speed with which the justifiable, righteous anger over the police execution of George Floyd in Minneapolis has turned into yet another culture war against offensive art is staggering. And terrifying, to be frank. One minute people are taking the knee in solidarity with a black man murdered by ruthless cops; the next they're saying: 'Remember when David Walliams dressed up as a fat black woman on Little Britain? Let's get him!' It feels kind of deranged, like censoriousness on steroids.

Little Britain is getting it in the neck largely because of the Walliams-played character Desiree DeVere, a grotesquely obese black woman that Walliams played with extraordinary aplomb in a fat suit and with copious amounts of skin-darkening make-up. No one will admit this now - for fear of being dragged into the stocks - but the character was really funny. Desiree was not a caricature of black people; she was a caricature of a deluded woman who thinks she's hot stuff, and who loves to mix with wealthy men.

Buffalo mayor says shoved protester disobeyed police orders 'numerous times'

The elderly Buffalo protester knocked to the ground by cops in a viral video that has become an international symbol of police brutality was "asked to leave numerous times . . . after the curfew," the city's mayor said.

Explaining why he had yet to fire the officers seen pushing Martin Gugino, 75, to the ground, where he hit his head and bled onto the pavement, Mayor Byron Brown said, "I don't want to jump ahead of the investigation. It is very important for officers to know they are getting due process," according to WBEN Radio.

Brown referenced violence, vandalism, looting and fires being set during protests in the city, then described a "volatile" situation between protesters and police when Gugino approached the officers.

Minneapolis police chief announces immediate withdrawal from contract negotiations with police union

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo announced Wednesday that the force will immediately withdraw from contract negotiations with the police union as part of a push to reform the department in the wake of George Floyd's death, which sparked days of protest and riots in the city, as well as a call from local leaders to defund and dismantle the department.

At a morning press conference, the chief said he plans to bring in outside experts to examine how the contract with the Police Officers Federation can be restructured to provide greater transparency and "flexibility for true reform."

Arradondo says his announcement would be the first of many he hopes will provide a pathway or a plan to provide actionable measures for reform.

"This is not about officers' wages, bonuses or salaries," Arradondo said. "This is about examining those significant matters that touch on things such as critical incident protocol, use of force...and also the discipline process to include both grievances and arbitration."

End imprisonment, reintroduce segregation, ban police: Seattle revolutionaries' cartoonish 'demands' show they're either not serious or delusional

Would-be revolutionaries across the US are looking to Seattle's Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone for cues on what's next. But its demands are larded with quixotic, unworkable "solutions" that distract from planning for lasting change.

The commune's apparent list of demands, published on Tuesday after anti-police-brutality protesters took over a six-block area of downtown Seattle, veers from the common-sensical, past the daring and the deep to the absurd with little warning. Posted to Medium, it has been promoted on social media by a slate of Seattle lefties, activist blue-checks, and rubbernecking conservatives. None has yet questioned its authenticity.

Divided into four sections - the justice system, economic demands, "health and human services," and education - the list overshadows its best calls for reform with some silly and downright dangerous suggestions.
