Reports on the COVID-19 pandemic and the deadliness of the virus in many countries worldwide including the United States and EU nations, continue to dominate American, European and Asian news outlets. Still, lives of the poorest people in many nations are more threatened by starvation than the Coronavirus. If COVID-19 were to spread among such vulnerable individuals susceptible to malaria and other serious diseases, the outbreak would, undoubtedly, lead to a tragedy of global proportions.

In recent years, experts from the United Nations and other non-governmental organizations have increasingly warned the public that the number of people suffering from hunger in the world has been increasing considerably. According to UN estimates, there are more than 820 million individuals who are starving at present. In Africa alone, tens of millions of inhabitants of nations, such as South Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya, are undernourished. Armed confrontations, natural disasters and their effect on the way conflicts progress are considered to be the main reasons why famine is spreading throughout the world.

More than eight-in-ten American adults call mass migration at least a "threat" to the United States, a survey finds.

The latest Pew Research Center survey reveals that the overwhelming majority of Americans see the mass migration of people from one country to another as a threat in the midst of the Chinese coronavirus crisis.

About 42 percent of American adults call mass migration a "major threat" to the U.S. Another 39 percent say mass migration is a "minor threat" to the county, while less than 20 percent of American adults see no threat from mass migration.

Likewise, nearly six-in-ten Republican voters and 29 percent of Democrats say mass migration is a major threat to the U.S. When broken down demographically by age, a plurality of 30- to 49-year-olds call mass migration a major threat, along with about 50 percent of Americans at least 50 years old.

The Pennsylvania State Senate on Wednesday sent a bill that would partially lift the lockdown on most of the state's businesses to Gov. Tom Wolf's (D) desk.

The measure, Senate Bill 613, would require the governor's office to align with federal guidelines in determining which businesses will be allowed to reopen during the pandemic, allowing all those that can safely operate with mitigation strategies under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency guidelines.

The measure passed the senate 29-21 Wednesday after passing the state House 107-95 Tuesday.

As protests mount across the US, multiple sheriffs openly stand against lockdown

On Wednesday, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued a warning and urged governments to take action as global societal unrest is on the horizon. The IMF cautioned that "some countries remain vulnerable to new protests, particularly if policy actions to mitigate the COVID-19 crisis are perceived as insufficient or as unfairly favoring large corporates rather than people." In the ostensible land of the free, that is indeed the case as Americans were given laughable $1,200 deposits for 10 weeks (or longer) to stay home while banks and large corporations received trillions. While a new 'Occupy' movement has yet to materialize over the corporate bailouts, people tired of watching the economy turn to dust have already began to revolt.

As TFTP reported this week, on Tuesday, more than 100 protesters took the the city streets of Raleigh, North Carolina to voice their desire to reopen the state's economy. They were quickly met with police action but the well-organized protesters stood their ground through multiple threats.

According to the News and Observer, the protest was organized by ReopenNC, a private Facebook group organized last week that wants people to make their own stay-at-home decisions to avoid exposure to COVID-19 as the worldwide pandemic continues. The group surpassed 28,000 members on Tuesday afternoon.

Then, on Wednesday, Michigan followed suit. Thousands of Michigan citizens took to the streets — and literally blocked them — on Wednesday to protest the government's stay at home order and demand the state reopen the economy.

Comment: As this story progresses, it will be very interesting to see who in law enforcement, intelligence, the military and political circles - and elsewhere - comes out and says and does things - in opposition to the monumental Orwellian policies we're seeing implemented throughout society. We will know them by their fruits.

'We're being held hostage!' Minnesota governor eases lockdown after outraged residents take to the streets in protest

Liberate Minnesota' calls the governor's stay-at-home order an overreaction to COVID-19.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has relaxed the state's Covid-19 containment measures, scaling back restrictions on outdoor activities with an executive order as outraged residents take to the streets to demand an end to the lockdown.

While some forms of outdoor recreation were permitted under a previous directive, an array of businesses will be allowed to reopen after Friday's executive order, including golf courses, privately managed trails and parks, marinas and docks, bait shops, showrooms and repair shops for off-road vehicles, and outdoor shooting ranges.

The new relaxed rules came on the heels of heated protest from Minnesota residents, who gathered outside of the governor's mansion in St. Paul on Friday to call on officials to repeal the stay-at-home order, in force since late March. Those who couldn't join in person did so digitally, through the #ReopenMN hashtag.

Comment: Despite the continued media hype and the CDC/WHO's falsification of data on infections and mortality, more and more people will discover that the government has destroyed their lives on the pretext of a 'plandemic' hardly more dangerous than the flu. And the elites aren't taking any chances.

I really hope I'm never raped by a future US presidential candidate, because apparently if you've made blog posts which can be taken as favorable to the Russian government you're not entitled to seek justice against your rapist.

The New York Times has published a jarringly sociopathic hit piece on Joe Biden's sexual assault accuser titled "What to Do With Tara Reade's Allegation Against Joe Biden?" The column serves no purpose other than to help liberal feminists feel good about themselves when dismissing the increasingly credible rape allegations against Biden in cool defiance of the "believe women" narrative they were all promulgating with #MeToo hashtags online during the Supreme Court confirmation process of Brett Kavanaugh.

"Reade seems almost engineered in a lab to inspire skepticism in mainstream Democrats, both because her story keeps changing and because of her bizarre public worship of President Vladimir Putin of Russia," argues the column's author Michelle Goldberg. "'President Putin has an alluring combination of strength with gentleness,' she wrote in a since-deleted 2018 Medium post."

Goldberg's claim that Reade's story "keeps changing" is false. Nathan J Robinson of Current Affairs reports that Reade's story has been consistent since she first started telling it in 1993, which Goldberg could have learned and addressed with even a scintilla of research.

No, we are not "all in this together"...

hands point to man
A common phrase I have heard lately all around the internet as well as all around the area I live whenever the pandemic situation is broached is that "We are all in this together, and WE will get through this together...." The sentiment is repeated like a religious mantra and I believe it is rooted in a collectivist reaction in the minds of many. The idea is that if we all comfort each other by repeating the lie that we're all in the same boat, and if everyone believes it, then the threat of the outbreak along with the economic collapse will somehow simply "disappear".

The notion that "we are going to get through this together" seems to be based in the assumption that the crisis is going to move quickly, and if we hold tight, our sacrifice will be minimal and all will go back to the way things were before. This is simply not so.

I highly respect the ideal of giving hope to others whenever possible (as Aragorn says in Return Of The King "I give hope to men. I keep none for myself"). However, hope has to come from a legitimate place. It has to be based in some reality. There are too many lies driving public psychology right now to give concrete hope to anyone. The lies have to land, they have to touch ground, and the facts have to hit people hard before we can then come to an understanding of what we have to do to survive this event. In the meantime, the majority of people are going to be trapped in fantasy land, hypnotized by delusions of magical cures and economic silver bullets that will lead to salvation "in just two more weeks".

The head of the Russian Reconciliation Center affiliated with the Russian Ministry of Defense, Oleg Goralev, announced on Wednesday that the 27 militants who surrendered to the Syrian authorities, reported that they had received training by the American military to carry out attacks on oil and gas sites as well as the infrastructure of sites under the control of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).

"According to the testimonies of members of the armed groups who joined the government forces, the Americans provided them with weapons and vehicles, and they were trained by the United States to sabotage the oil and gas infrastructure, transport and organize terrorist acts in the territories under the control of the Syrian government forces," Goralev said in a briefing.

Comment: Yet more testimony to the fact that the US and its Middle Eastern allies have - through many proxy forces - been working hard to destabilize and plunder Syria.
