The ongoing effort to ban so-called assault weapons is similar to America's bloody fight to end slavery, a CBS contributor and chief proponent of Critical Race Theory (CRT) said Sunday.

In a segment commemorating Juneteenth, Ibram X. Kendi told "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan he teaches his young daughter that the struggle for emancipation continues today. Kendi, the network's "Racial Justice Contributor," said "freedom" today means liberation from poverty and guns.

"I'm actually going to teach her that ... throughout this nation's history, there's [sic] been two perspectives on freedom, really two fights for freedom," Kendi said. "Enslaved people were fighting for freedom from slavery, and enslavers were fighting for the freedom to enslave."

Comment: You can't take a guy seriously when he compares literally everything to slavery. It should be noted that the guy also endorses recreational heroin. Just sayin'.

Source claims WHO chief 'believes Covid did leak from Wuhan lab' in 2019 despite publicly maintaining 'all hypotheses remain on the table'

The head of the World Health Organisation privately believes the Covid pandemic started following a leak from a Chinese laboratory, a senior Government source claims.

While publicly the group maintains that 'all hypotheses remain on the table' about the origins of Covid, the source said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organisation (WHO), had recently confided to a senior European politician that the most likely explanation was a catastrophic accident at a laboratory in Wuhan, where infections first spread during late 2019.

The Mail on Sunday first revealed concerns within Western intelligence services about the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where scientists were manipulating coronaviruses sampled from bats in caves nearly 1,000 miles away - the same caves where Covid-19 is suspected to have originated - in April 2020. The worldwide death toll from the Covid pandemic is now estimated to have hit more than 18 million.

Slain Uvalde teacher's officer husband tried to rescue her but was 'detained' and had his gun taken

The cop husband of one of the teachers slain in the Texas school massacre had desperately tried to rescue his shot wife — but was instead detained and had his gun taken away, according to harrowing testimony about the "abject failure" of the response.

Ruben Ruiz, an officer with the school police department in Uvalde, Texas, had been driven to Robb Elementary School by a sergeant as soon as alerts came in of the May 14 mass shooting that also left 19 children dead.

Ruiz immediately alerted others that he had "got a call from his wife," Eva Mireles, 44, who was "in room 112 and later died," Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw told a special state Senate hearing.

Comment: As if it's not bad enough that the cops stood by and did nothing while a crazed gunman shot school children and teachers, they actively prevented others from actually helping. If the police aren't willing to do their jobs, the least they can do is let people who are willing do so.

'The mask is off ESG,' says leading professor of finance calling, it's a 'scam'

NYU Professor of Finance Aswath Damodaran
For celebrated NYU Professor of Finance, Aswath Damodaran, the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment strategy is nothing short of a scam, and adds no underpinning value to business or investing.

Damodaran, known as the "Dean of Valuation," began researching ESG investing in 2019, puzzled over the Conference Board's promotion of the strategy, he told Patrick O'Shaughnessy, founder of O'Shaughnessy Asset Management, on a recent podcast.

Damodaran said he quickly discovered that none of the claims of adding societal value or improving the Earth, with particular focus on climate change, were true.

Will the tragic fate of world stars like Celine Dion and Justin Bieber open the eyes of their fans? Impacts of Covid-19 'vaccine'

Sustained by media disinformation and fake science, the mRNA vaccine was put forth as a solution to curbing the pandemic. Amply documented, the Covid-19 Vaccine has triggered from the outset in December 2020 an upward trend in mortality and morbidity. The evidence is overwhelming.

National governments Worldwide Are Lying to You the People, to the populations they purportedly serve.

Below is the incisive and outspoken article by Dr. Nicole Delépine on the tragic fate of Celine Dion and Justin Bieber.

This is also a message in solidarity with all humanity, particularly children and young adolescents.

On behalf of the victims of the vaccine, it is our sincere hope that renowned artists and World stars will henceforth join the Worldwide campaign and take a firm stance against the Covid-19 vaccine.

We are demanding that the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine be immediately withdrawn and discontinued Worldwide. If you have doubts, read the bombshell Secret Report by Pfizer, which is now in the public domain (released under FOI).

Please forward this article.

UK inflation surges at fastest rate for 40 years, largely driven by food & fuel costs

Prices are continuing to rise at their fastest rate for 40 years with food costs, particularly for bread, cereal and meat, climbing.

UK inflation, the rate at which prices rise, edged up to 9.1% in the 12 months to May, from 9% in April, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.

Fuel and energy prices are the biggest drivers of inflation, but the ONS said food costs had pushed it up further.

Workers and unions are pushing for pay rises to cope with higher prices.

But the government has warned against employers handing out big increases in salaries over fears of a 1970s style "inflationary spiral" where firms hike wages and then pass the cost on to customers through higher prices.

The Federal Bureau of Tweets: Twitter is hiring an alarming number of FBI agents

Twitter has been on a recruitment drive of late, hiring a host of former feds and spies. Studying a number of employment and recruitment websites, MintPress has ascertained that the social media giant has, in recent years, recruited dozens of individuals from the national security state to work in the fields of security, trust, safety and content.

Chief amongst these is the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The FBI is generally known as a domestic security and intelligence force. However, it has recently expanded its remit into cyberspace. "The FBI's investigative authority is the broadest of all federal law enforcement agencies," the "About" section of its website informs readers. "The FBI has divided its investigations into a number of programs, such as domestic and international terrorism, foreign counterintelligence [and] cyber crime," it adds.

For example, in 2019, Dawn Burton (the former director of Washington operations for Lockheed Martin) was poached from her job as senior innovation advisor to the director at the FBI to become senior director of strategy and operations for legal, public policy, trust and safety at Twitter. The following year, Karen Walsh went straight from 21 years at the bureau to become director of corporate resilience at the silicon valley giant. Twitter's deputy general counsel and vice president of legal, Jim Baker, also spent four years at the FBI between 2014 and 2018, where his resumé notes he rose to the role of senior strategic advisor.

West Point cadets have been taught that "whiteness" connotes "race privilege" and "structural advantage" as part of instructions based on critical race theory, according to newly revealed documents and course materials from the military academy.

Among the trove of documents — which were handed over to Judicial Watch after a public records lawsuit — are presentation slides instructing cadets that "in order to understand racial inequality and slavery, it is first necessary to address whiteness."

"Whiteness," the slide reads, is a "standpoint or place from which white people look at themselves and the rest of society," and refers to "a set of cultural practices that are usually unmarked and unnamed."

Implementing a new law to punish traffickers of fentanyl and declaring deaths from the drug as a health crisis could curb the damage it is doing to the country.

The Epoch Times spoke to Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) about the growing fentanyl crisis in the United States. The Republican lawmaker represents Louisiana's 3rd congressional district, which includes Lafayette Parish. According to the local coroner, there were 32 drug-related deaths in 2015, and fentanyl was not associated with any of them. However, by 2021, the number of deaths rose to 136 and fentanyl was responsible for 101.

According to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), fentanyl is the driving force of a deadly nationwide epidemic. Preliminary data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that fentanyl was involved in 77 percent of overdose deaths in the United States in 2021, accounting for about 71,000 deaths.

China buys $7.5 Billion of Russian energy, with record amounts of crude

pipeline
China continued to snap up Russian energy products last month, including a record quantity of crude oil, lifting purchases to $7.47 billion -- about $1 billion more than April and double the amount of a year ago.

The increase in shipments came as the war in Ukraine entered a fourth month and other buyers continued to shy away from Russian oil, gas and coal. Chinese demand also started to show some improvement as virus restrictions were loosened, easing logistical snarls and allowing industrial production to rebound.

China's total imports from Russia accelerated in May, surging 80% on year to $10.27 billion, as Beijing continues to offer support to an otherwise isolated government in Moscow.


Comment: Western governments may have cut off communication with Russia, however the vast majority of them continue to buy the Russian energy that they can't function without, and more recently the EU 'reminded' them that they're free to buy the food and fertilizers that they so desperately need.
