FBI badly bungled sexual abuse case against USA Gymnastics doc Nassar: watchdog

The US Department of Justice issued a report Wednesday lambasting the FBI's handling of their probe into the former US Gymnastics physician Larry Nassar, who sexually abused hundreds of young athletes over the course of decades.

The DOJ's inspector general Michael Horowitz wrote in the 119-page report the FBI's Indianapolis field office mishandled the sexual abuse allegations from the very beginning and top brass at the office violated ethics rules and made false statements during the probe.

The long-awaited watchdog report said the FBI didn't treat the case with the "utmost seriousness and urgency" it deserved while the FBI acquiesced the conduct was "inexcusable and a discredit" to the country's premier law enforcement agency.

Sydney's lockdown extended for another two weeks as restrictions fail to bring down Covid infections

The Australian authorities have elected to extend a lockdown in the country's largest city as the infection tally from the latest outbreak nears 900 and initial restrictions fail to deliver the intended impact.

Speaking on Wednesday, New South Wales State Premier Gladys Berejiklian said it would be necessary to extend restrictions in Sydney until at least July 30, and the lockdown would not be removed until the number of new cases was close to zero. The country's most populous city has been under lockdown since June 26.

Comment: So, they went from the "stay at home and save lives" to "aiming to zero cases" which they determine by PCR tests that are not designed to diagnose an actual infection. It is just another lame excuse of the PTB to keep people under pressure, in fear, and continue to impose totalitarian rule.

"It always hurts to say this, but we need to extend the lockdown for at least a further two weeks," Berejiklian said, adding "we want to get out of this lockdown as soon as we can, and that is why we have the settings in place that we have."

Comment: Let's do some simple math.

In 2017 New South Wales had a total population of 7.81 million people. The same year 2,420 people died from cancer. That is 0.031% of the population.

In 2020 New South Wales has a total population of 8.092 million people. Since this so-called "pandemic" started, the state has officially registered 56 deaths from Covid-19, including all deaths that were not actually caused by Covid but are counted as ones regardless. The mortality rate is 0.0007%.

New South Wales has 44 times higher mortality rate from cancer than from the Covid virus.

Have we seen them panicking about that and advising people how to live a healthier lifestyle to avoid cancer?

This is a good example of their hypocrisy, double standards, and a good way to see through their lies and see that the "pandemic" is in fact a manufactured and planned operation.

"Woke coke" - UK drug dealers peddling 'ethically sourced' cocaine

Megacorporations are profiting from being "woke," and now the black market is following suit. Drug dealers in the UK are marking up cocaine prices for "ethically sourced cocaine."

According to Daily Mirror, so-called "woke coke" is a hot commodity in the UK, selling for $300 per gram, more than four times the average versus street prices.

UK drug policy expert Neil Woods said drug dealers had touted woke coke as ethically sourced cocaine from Colombia. He adds there's no way cocaine is "eco-friendly" and is just a sales ploy to increase profits.

Colombian aid worker Bibiana Villota said she's outraged by UK dealers claiming their cocaine is ethically sourced.

Protesters take part in a demonstration outside the parliament building after the government announced mandatory vaccinations for certain sectors, in Athens, Greece, July 14, 2021.

Thousands took to the streets in two of Greece's largest cities to protest new health mandates, which bar the unvaccinated from many public spaces and require medical staff to take the shot, as well as plans to immunize teenagers.

Large crowds of demonstrators were seen in Athens and Thessaloniki on Wednesday, numbered in the thousands according to the Associated Press, some reportedly chanting "Hands off our kids!" while others hoisted banners reading "We say no to vaccine poison."

Blast hits bus near site of under construction dam in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, China for 'probe, punishment'.

At least 12 people, including nine Chinese nationals, were killed in an explosion due to an accident in northern Pakistan on Wednesday, the Foreign Ministry said amid conflicting reports.

In a statement, it said a bus carrying Chinese workers in Khyber Pakhunkhwa province "plunged into a ravine after a mechanical failure resulting in leakage of gas that caused a blast."

Chinese workers and accompanying Pakistani staff were proceeding to their workplace for an ongoing project when the incident took place, it added.

COVID-19: PM's easing of England's restrictions is 'irresponsible', BMA says

The medical body says the government is "throwing caution to the wind" by scrapping all regulations at once.

Boris Johnson's decision to press ahead with easing coronavirus restrictions in England is "irresponsible", senior doctors have said - although a government minister has admitted COVID rules could return this winter.

The prime minister announced on Monday that most of the last remaining restrictions in England would be axed from 19 July.

Blatant propaganda: Western media use images of PRO-government rally, protest in Miami to illustrate Cuban unrest as Havana warns of 'soft coup'

The Guardian and a number of other Western news agencies used erroneously captioned photos of a pro-government protest in Havana, Cuba, presenting it as an opposition rally instead.

Several Western news outlets have used an erroneously captioned photo showing a pro-government rally in Cuba, deeming it an opposition protest, while CNN opted for an image of a Miami demonstration instead, raising eyebrows.

Captured by Associated Press photographer Eliana Aponte during a demonstration in support of the government in the Cuban capital on Sunday, the photo has made the rounds in the Western corporate press as unrest grips the Caribbean nation. However, multiple outlets have incorrectly described the image as an "anti-government protest," including the Guardian, Fox News, the Financial Times, the New York Times, the Washington Times and Voice of America. The latter outlet, the US-government funded VOA, committed the error on two separate occasions.

GrayZone journalist Ben Norton and Alan MacLeod of MintPress News were among the first to note the error, sharing screenshots of several examples. MacLeod suggested the outlets may have simply "copied and pasted" the AP's original photo caption, replicating the error across multiple agencies.

A video filmed by a passenger shows the woman taped into her seat, which American Airlines confirmed.

Now that's a sticky situation.

An apparently unhinged woman was duct-taped to an airplane seat last week after she allegedly attacked the flight crew and tried to open the door of the aircraft in midflight.

Video posted on social media showed the gray-haired woman with silver duct tape over her mouth, and her arms and body seemingly taped to the seat.

Boris Johnson says people guilty of racist abuse of footballers online will be banned from matches

The PM says he is "taking practical steps to ensure that the football banning order regime is changed", but he is taken to task by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer over the government's previous equivocation over whether fans should jeer England players for taking the knee.

Football banning orders will be changed to cover online racism in the wake of the social media abuse directed at England players, Boris Johnson has told MPs.

The prime minister said the change will mean "if you are guilty of racist abuse online of footballers then you will not be going to the match".

Comment: What a charade! It's important to remember that it's highly unlikely that either Johnson or Starmer actually care about racism. They're simply using the issue to try to score points with the plebs.
