'Peak End of Empire': Met Police SKEWERED for reportedly considering new 'woke gender-neutral uniform' for officers

Scotland Yard has drawn ridicule for indulging in "woke political nonsense" after it emerged that the UK's largest police force is apparently set to conduct a review into whether to issue gender-neutral uniforms to its officers.

The Metropolitan Police is reportedly consulting its 30,000 officers on the current uniform. With the contract with its current uniform supplier set to expire in 2023, the force is said to be reviewing what changes need to be made when a new contract is signed.

According to The Sun, the Met might be violating the Equality Act (2010) by not providing separate uniforms for non-binary and gender-fluid officers. An officer, identified as 'Alex Blue', is quoted by the paper as stating that the lack of an alternative uniform would amount to "indirect discrimination."

Comment: UK police are becoming a parody of themselves. Are they trying to not be taken seriously? Because if so, it's working.

Once again, JP Morgan Chase has used their massive institutional influence to carry out the radical left's bidding against conservatives and dissenters. By the middle of next month, Chase Bank will be closing the personal accounts and credit cards of Retired US General Michael Flynn.

The well respected and highly decorated combat veteran has been a target of the deep state and big tech from the beginning of Trump's presidency. He was dragged through the swamp in the Russian collusion delusion and had already been purged off of mainstream social media sites like Twitter, but that wasn't enough to silence him.

Comment: While Flynn may be a high-profile victim of a political purge, Chase Bank has been clearing its files of "undesirables" of all stripes for a while now.

Lecturing everyone else on 'saving the planet' while they can't even clean up their own mess

As police stand by and allow hipster 'protesters' under the 'Extinction Rebellion' banner to bring London to a standstill again, it has been revealed that during protests two years ago, the climate change obsessed extremists dumped 120 TONS of garbage on to the streets.

The London Telegraph notes that Nickie Aiken, Conservative MP for Cities of London and Westminster, cited a report pointing to the cleanup costing £50,000 in 2019.

The report notes:
The former leader of City of Westminster Council said: "The disruption to local people and businesses is immeasurable. I was told by the council that last time Extinction Rebellion were here for two weeks, they cleared 120 tons of rubbish left behind. That added £50,000 to their costs. This is local people's council tax."

An economic catastrophe is looming

While we are focused on one crisis, another looms off-stage, waiting patiently for her opportunity to shine.

How long we will need to wait for the final aria I can't and won't predict, but to place our current peril into perspective, I'd like to take you for a trip down a memory-holed lane. Back to December 5, 1996. For reference, the Nasdaq on that day was 1287.

Alan Greenspan, then chairman of the US Federal Reserve, gave his now-famous speech, posing the question: "How do we know when irrational exuberance has unduly escalated asset values?"

Comment: As we've seen with the globally coordinated coronavirus hysteria, it's probable that the next crash will be contrived or hijacked by these same nefarious forces with the intent to further their enforcement of the dystopian agenda:

Who's skipping the vaccine? The answer may surprise you

Big media has been in overdrive pushing COVID vaccinations, at least after Joe Biden was ensconced in the White House. Remember that when Donald Trump was still president, the vaccines were suspect, simply because Trump played a major role in their development and rollout.

Before the election, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were vaccine-hesitant. Both cast doubt on the COVID vaccines, still in clinical trials last fall. Biden said, "I trust vaccines. I trust scientists. But I don't trust Donald Trump." Did he believe Trump was cooking up the vaccines in the White House basement, the sole decision maker regarding approval, ignoring the pharmaceutical companies creating the vaccines, overseen, and ultimately approved by the FDA, not the president?

Biden's running mate, Kamala Harris, cast similar doubt saying, "I would not trust Donald Trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he's talking about. I will not take his word for it." Again, it is the FDA, not the White House that is charged with approving vaccines.

Trump can say what he wants but if the regulatory authorities say otherwise, that's as far as it goes toward approval or usage. Look at hydroxychloroquine as an example.

In a hyper-politicized country, Americans tend to believe those with whom they identify politically. Hence those on the right supporting hydroxychloroquine as a therapeutic and those on the left, like Fox News' Neil Cavuto, saying "it will kill you." If the future president and vice president were vaccine-hesitant, expect many Americans to adopt that view.

Best of the Web: Australian truckers protest mandatory vaccines and lockdowns, block major highway

Australian truck drivers have blocked a major highway in the north-eastern state of Queensland in a protest against vaccine mandates and tough border restrictions, causing traffic to back up for several kilometres.

The action marks a series of ongoing protests from Australians frustrated with state government COVID-19 lockdowns and mandated restrictions based on emergency public health orders.

The drivers parked their prime movers at 5:30 a.m. on the southbound lanes of the M1 highway at Reedy Creek in the Gold Coast portion of the arterial on Monday. The highway is used by tens of thousands of Queenslanders each morning.

A banner was unfurled and covered the front of both vehicles, reading: "Truckies Keep Australia Moving, Not Politicians."

One driver named Brock, who did not give his surname, said the drivers were protesting the Queensland government's strict health orders that prevented all individuals from entering the state, except for essential workers.

Comment: The protest didn't last long because of lack of numbers. But this is just the beginning. It only works it enough people make it impossible for the police to 'enforce the law'. Truckers in France and the US are likely to commence blockades in September.

Russia has ordered Apple and Google to remove jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny's app from their app stores as his movement faces unprecedented pressure ahead of key elections next month.

Navalny began actively promoting the app after the authorities last month blocked access to his main website and 49 other associated sites and called for blocking social media linked to him.

Russia's state communications watchdog Roskomnadzor told Interfax on Friday that it sent letters to the two tech giants asking them to take Navalny's app down from the App Store and Google Play.

Roskomnadzor said that the app "is used to promote and implement the activities of extremist organizations."

Amazon is beefing up its already dystopian worker surveillance machine

Earlier this year, Amazon revealed plans to install high-tech surveillance cameras in its fleet of delivery vans that are now ubiquitous in neighborhoods across the United States. The cameras watch drivers as well as the road and provide real-time audio feedback. While many of these drivers work in Amazon Prime-branded vehicles, they are not Amazon employees, but rather are employed by third-party contractors called delivery-service partners (DSPs) — an arrangement that, among other benefits, limits Amazon's liability when accidents occur.

The surveillance technology comes from Netradyne, a California-based company that uses cameras to analyze driver activity so as to provide instant direction ("please slow down," for instance) while also storing that data to evaluate performance in line with company metrics. In a video about Driveri, Netradyne's platform, Karolina Haraldsdottir, a senior manager of the last-mile delivery operation at Amazon, emphasizes that the cameras are meant as a safety measure, intended to reduce collisions.


Comment: Considering how Amazon treats its warehouse staff, it's unlikely this tech is being rolled out primarily as a 'safety measure'.

Massive fire engulfs high-rise residential building in Milan

A large fire has erupted in a high-rise residential building in Milan, engulfing the whole structure within minutes. The blaze has completely destroyed the facade of the building, footage from the scene shows.

The blaze broke out at the 20-story Torre dei Moro high-rise located in the south of the city on Sunday. The fire started on the top floors of the building, which has 16 stories of furnished apartments with lower floors reserved for business. It's unclear what caused the fire.

The fire quickly spread across the building's facade, covered with supposedly fireproof panels. The inferno sent burning pieces of the facade raining into the street and onto adjacent buildings. The blaze, however, has seemingly not spread into the building's internals, so far affecting it only superficially.
