Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) stated that she will continue supporting "defunding the police" while paying tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars for private security.

During a Wednesday interview with CBS News about the CDC's recent eviction moratorium, Bush was briefly pressed about her choice to use one-third of her campaign funds for security guards while advocating for the removal of funding from law enforcement.

"You faced some criticism in recent weeks over your push to defund the police," noted one of the anchors. "Campaign records show that you spent roughly $70,000 on private security, and some critics say that move is hypocritical. What's your response to those critics?"

"I'm going to make sure I have security because I know I have had attempts on my life," replied Bush after alleging that she experiences death threats from white supremacists. "And I have too much work to do. There are too many people that need help right now for me to allow that. So if I end up spending $200,000, if I spend ten more dollars on it, you know what? I get to be here, to do the work. So suck it up. And defunding the police has to happen; we need to defund the police and put that money into social safety nets, because we're trying to save lives."

Comment: Tone-deaf hypocrisy is one of the many symptoms of ideological possession.

US spends 17% of GDP on healthcare but struggles with affordability and has the most administrative hurdles
The US is last on a ranking of healthcare systems among 11 of the wealthiest countries in the world, despite spending the highest percentage of its GDP on healthcare, according to a new report from the Commonwealth Fund.

The country struggles with deep problems in affordability of healthcare, which affects access and equity, and it is the country that has the most administrative hurdles when dealing with healthcare. This is despite the US spending 17% of its gross domestic product on healthcare, "far above" the other 10 countries, according to the report.

Comment: History is replete with examples of bloated empires that tend to become overwhelmed by corruption and riddled with incompetence, and the US is little different. Another prime example of how this system is nearing its end is its military budget that outspends the top countries combined whilst failing to win any wars or produce anything of value: Also check out SOTT radio's:

Six people were killed on Thursday when a sightseeing plane crashed in a mountainous area of southeast Alaska, officials said, leaving no survivors.

The craft, a De Havilland Beaver, had been ferrying five cruise passengers from a Holland America Line ship stopping in the port town of Ketchikan, the officials said, adding that the pilot was among the dead.

"Poor visibility and deteriorating weather hampered aerial search efforts for part of the afternoon," the Alaska State Troopers said in a statement, adding that an emergency signal had been triggered shortly before noon.

The U.S. Coast Guard found the wrecked plane and the victims after a search that also involved the U.S. Forest Service and other agencies, the troopers said.

Under the name Operation Child Protector, authorities targeted people through the internet and ultimately arrested 17 people, nine of whom already had criminal records. In total, the group faces 49 felonies and two misdemeanors, NBC 8 reported.

Comment: For a detailed list of all the alleged acts of the accused and their charges, see this article from Fox 13.

Sudesh Amman, 20, was shot dead by police after injuring two people in stabbing rampage in south London.

A convicted terrorist who went on a knife rampage in south London that ended with him being shot dead by police told a mentor just days before that he had changed his ways, an inquest has heard.

Sudesh Amman, 20, was shot dead by police after he ran up Streatham High Road on 2 February 2020 randomly stabbing members of the public and injuring two people.

Comment: One of the qualities that makes an asset a 'good asset' is the ability to convince people that they are not a threat. It's interesting that the counter-terrorism officials weren't buying it.

We will not comply: A campaign against medical tyranny

not comply vaccine
I have been feverishly writing lately on covid mandates and vaccine passports issues, and I'm sure most readers understand why - We are currently at the cusp of a great conflict against the powers that be; people who are exploiting the (mostly manufactured) covid crisis for unprecedented political and economic control. And when I say "manufactured", I mean that there is no crisis, no need for mandates, no need for lockdowns and no need for vaccine passports.

We are dealing with a virus that around 99.7% of people will easily survive according to the medical establishment's own studies and stats as well as numerous independent studies, yet, for some reason we are being bombarded with fear mongering from the media and from governments.

Why is the only solution being suggested to the general public involve us giving up all of our freedoms and medical autonomy? Why is 99.7% of the population supposed to lock down, mask up and submit to an experimental mRNA vaccine with no long term testing data to prove its safety? Why don't the 0.26% of people that are truly at risk of dying from the virus simply take precautions or stay home while the rest of us get on with normal life? Hell, I would be fine with contributing to a fund to help support the 0.26% at risk, to help their families and help with their medical bills.

The Federal Reserve and other central banks burned trillions of dollars in stimulus measures and PPP loans to keep businesses from going completely bankrupt, and to keep jobless "non-essential" workers from starving during the initial shutdowns. But, we could have simply kept the economy going this entire time and paid a fraction of that cost helping the tiny minority of people that would actually suffer from the illness.

A court in Moscow on Thursday convicted US financier Michael Calvey of embezzling funds as part of a long-running and controversial court case that could see the billion-dollar investment fund director handed a stiff sentence.

The former head of Baring Vostok, a $3.7-billion investment firm he founded, Calvey was accused of overstating the value of an asset as part of a financial transaction and misappropriating funds worth 2.5 billion rubles ($34.2 million).

A judge at the Meshchansky Court in the Russian capital found him and his French business partner, Philip Delpalle, guilty of the charges in Thursday's hearing. Prosecutors are seeking a six-year suspended prison sentence for Calvey, and five years for Delpalle. Other members of the fund's top team are facing similar terms.

Comment: Calvey trying to spin a not guilty ruling as being 'good for business' for Moscow is a rather slimy tactic which only makes him seem more guilty.

Biden admin plans to require all foreign travelers to US be vaccinated against COVID: Report

The Biden administration is planning to require almost all foreign travelers to the U.S. to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, a White House official reported said on Wednesday.

The official, who spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity, said the requirement would be part of the administration's easing up on travel restrictions for foreign citizens entering the United States. A timeline has not been determined yet, as working groups within federal agencies are studying how to best resume normal travel. But all foreign travelers, with a few exceptions, will be expected to have received the COVID-19 vaccine to enter the country, according to the AP.

Currently, travel restrictions are still in place, as any residents from outside the U.S. who have visited Brazil, Ireland, the United Kingdom, India, South Africa, China, and the European Schengen area in two weeks prior to traveling to the United States are prevented from entering, the AP reported.

Comment: Speaking of mandatory vaccination, from The Hill:
Defense Secretary Austin expected to seek authorization to make vaccine mandatory for active duty troops

Defense Secretary Gen. Lloyd Austin is reportedly seeking authorization to make COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory for active-duty troops, according to CNN.

A defense official told CNN that Austin would be seeking a presidential waiver for the vaccine to be administered to troops before getting full approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Biden's recent push for vaccinations created pressure to seek a presidential waiver quickly instead of waiting for FDA approval, CNN reported. Several officials said a recommendation for how to proceed could come as soon as this week.

The potential decision comes as Biden announced that all federal employees must be vaccinated or be tested daily.

What's REALLY behind the war on home ownership?

The incipient "Great Reset" is a multi-faceted beast. We talk a lot about vaccine passports and lockdowns and the Covid-realated aspects - and we should - but there's more to it than that.

Remember, they want you to "own nothing and be happy". And right at the top of the list of things you definitely shouldn't own, is your own home.

The headlines about this have been steady for the last few years, but it has picked up pace in the wake of the "pandemic" (as has so much else). An agenda hidden on back pages, behind by Covid's meaningless big red numbers, but perhaps no less sinister.

You can find articles all over the net talking up renting over owning.

Last month, for example, Bloomberg ran an article headlined:
"America Should Become a Nation of Renters"
Which praises what they call "the liquefaction of the housing market" and gleefully expounds on the idea that "The very features that made home buying an affordable and stable investment are coming to an end."
