Russia has tightened up its fire safety rules, banning people from barbecuing on their balconies. Smokers will also be affected.

The government has answered a plea by the Emergencies Ministry and amended the fire prevention regulations, making the use of an open fire on the balconies of apartments, dormitories, and hotels rooms illegal. The new rules will go into force within the next ten days.

The move means that cooking shashlik (a version of shish kebab popular in Russia and former Soviet republics) without having to go outside or having a bonfire will no longer be permitted. And it was actually a thing in the country. Numerous tutorials on how to make the best barbecue at your balcony can still be found on online.

Doctors & drugs FOR LIFE: Big Pharma's profit on the transgender craze

For trans people, the quest to create the body that matches their perceptions is a life devoted to drugs and doctors. For Big Pharma, the challenge is to serve the interests of this group without being blinded by big profit.

Western society is currently witnessing something of a medical revolution, which many have denounced as a dangerous experiment, whereby individuals, acting as their own medical experts, readily self-diagnose themselves as 'transgender.' What often follows is a regimen of powerful drugs and radical surgical techniques in order to 'fix the gender' they were mistakenly 'assigned' at birth.

Has mankind finally outsmarted Mother Nature?

While it is still too early to answer that question, one thing remains clear: members of the growing transgender demographic who opt to undergo 'gender confirmation surgery' inherit a lifetime relationship with the medical industrial complex. And, as is the case with most medical treatment in the United States, those services do not come cheap.

The Neo-Cultural Revolution: German basketball club drops award-winning cheerleaders because feminism

A German basketball club has announced it no longer needs "attractive break fillers" and that it is ditching its cheerleading team for the season.

Basketball Bundesliga club Alba Berlin decided to axe the cheerleading team with the explanation that "is no longer appropriate to our time."

"We have come to the conclusion that the appearance of young women as attractive break fillers at sporting events is no longer appropriate to our time," Alba Berlin said in a statement.


Comment: Notice how cultures are being eroded world-wide by feminists and PC fanatics. Fewer people are going to sporting events, movies, attending higher education, etc. because all facets of our lives are being invaded by over-zealous, power-hungry, control freaks. Mao's cultural Revolution in China sought the same, and the results led to massive atrocity. Such are the consequences when you strangle creativity and choice in favor of control and power.

Idiot ADL adds OK hand symbol to online database of 'hate' symbols

The Anti-Defamation League has added the thumb-and-forefinger "OK" hand symbol to its online "Hate on Display" database, where it sits alongside Klan robes, swastikas, and other inflammatory memes - just as 4chan intended.

The gesture - which the ADL claimed is a signal for "white power" - joined the group's ever-lengthening list of hate symbols along with 35 other memes, including the bowl haircut sported by Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof, the Jewish-stereotype cartoon of the "Happy Merchant," and the slogan "It's OK to be white." The list has 214 entries, from the obvious (burning crosses) to the bizarre (over a dozen numbers including 12, 13, 14, 28, 109, and 110).

Explaining that OK is "used by many on the right - not just extremists - for the purpose of trolling liberals" as well as purportedly expressing support for white supremacy, the group warns would-be hate-hunters that "caution must be used in evaluating instances of this symbol's use." The ADL plans to distribute a brochure including the new symbols and their descriptions to law enforcement and school districts around the country.

The move represented a reversal for the ADL, which released a statement in 2017 explaining that the symbol was a "popular trolling gesture" with its origins in a prank devised by posters on the anonymous message board 4chan.

Comment: The ADL was never a credible organization.

Police locate Jeffrey Epstein's 'missing' French associate Jean-Luc Brunel in South America

Jean-Luc Brunel and Epstein
Police have "geolocated" a French friend and former associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in South America after he went "missing" in the wake of the disgraced American financier's death, say French reports.

Jean-Luc Brunel, 74, a model scout who founded the Miami-based MC2 model agency with financial help from Epstein, dropped from sight after his friend's death from apparent suicide in a US prison in August.

In 2015 he denied any involvement in Epstein's alleged offences. French prosecutors have not named him and he has not been charged with any crimes.

On Tuesday, they announced that they had searched Karin Models, an agency he founded in 1978.

Le Parisien said that police had tracked Mr Brunel to South America although they gave no indication of which country.

Polls show Corbyn is the most unpopular opposition leader since 1977

Even before the hammer blow of yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, it was for many a damning indictment on Jeremy Corbyn and Labour, that in a time of such disarray and division in the (now minority) government, that they are still behind in the polls and showing no real signs of being able to beat Boris Johnson and the Tories in an election.

As Statista's Martin Armstrong points out, this situation is now also underscored by historic survey analysis by Ipsos MORI. Going all the way back to 1977, there hasn't been a leader of the opposition which has inspired so little confidence among the British public.

Comment: The statistics should come as no surprise considering Corbyn's announcement to hold a second referendum if he wins an election.

Psyop? US Army warns of potential "incel" violence at "Joker" movie screenings

Joker movie still
The U.S. Army is worried about a potential mass shooting during the theatrical release of Joker.

Typically when a major blockbuster film is released in the United States, warnings about the film are about its content — strong language, violence, perhaps a bit of sexual content or nudity.

But as audiences eagerly await the new Joker film, authorities in the U.S. have sounded the ominous alarm about what they fear may be in store for moviegoers flocking to theaters to catch the premiere on October 4 — a possible mass shooting committed by "incels" or "involuntary celibates."

On Tuesday, the U.S. Army confirmed that it had widely distributed an advisory to service members about a potential mass shooting during the theatrical release of Joker.

According to Stripes, a U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command was issued Monday, warning commanders at U.S. Army Fort Sill in Oklahoma that a law enforcement agency in Texas working with the FBI had uncovered "disturbing and very specific chatter in the dark web ... regarding the targeting of an unknown movie theater during the release" date on October 4.

Comment: Does the army letter reflect an insightful concern about the psychological and seemingly contagious acts of a certain "segment" of the population - or is this a subtle psyop - designed to condition military personnel to think negatively about so-called "incels" and whatever political views they may hold as a group?

University prof: Tom Brady's 'white male omnipotence' 'buttresses American white supremacy'

A University of Rhode Island (URI) professor published a book chapter in September focused entirely on New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and his supposed relationship to white supremacy.

URI Kinesiology professor Kyle Kusz also dabbles in gender and race theory, as evidenced in a chapter, a full copy of which was obtained by Campus Reform, that the professor authored in a recently published book titled The Palgrave Handbook of Masculinity and Sport.

Titled "Making American White Men Great Again: Tom Brady, Donald Trump, and the Allure of White Male Omnipotence in Post-Obama America," the chapter attempts to provide evidence to back up Kusz's suggestion that, like President Donald Trump, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has gained popularity due to the "latest wave of white rage and white supremacy" that he says developed since the Obama presidency alongside a "disturbing racial reaction among white conservatives in response to the idea that a black man would be [president]."

The professor's work analyzes Brady in two ways: his representation in the media and his "relationship with Trump," seeking to determine what these factors can "tell us about the specific ways that white masculinity is being re-coded and re-centered in post-Obama American culture."

Kusz zeroes in on "the complex racial, gender, and class meanings that have been articulated with Brady's body and his performances of white masculinity in the context of a backlash against the Obama presidency" and of "Trumpism," which he claims is also rooted in both race and gender.

Comment: So apparently being white and good at football makes you a supporter of white supremacy. See also:

'Emboldening radicals': China slams move by US lawmakers to approve Hong Kong 'human rights act'

Beijing has slammed a move by US congressional panels to approve Hong Kong-related bills envisioning sanctions for human rights abuses and requiring the US president to assess annually if Hong Kong is sufficiently independent.

The legislation, known as the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019, passed through the House and the Senate Foreign Relations Committees on Wednesday, and is now slated for a floor vote in both chambers. The bills, sponsored by Republican Senator Marco Rubio (Florida) and Representative Chris Smith (New Jersey), have proved to be among the least contentious in Congress, which is largely divided along party lines.

The act has been championed by Hong Kong 'pro-democracy' activists themselves, who came to Washington to rally behind the legislation and testified before the Congressional-Executive Commission on China last Tuesday.

The bill would force the US president to report to Congress on Hong Kong's autonomy every year, and to determine whether Beijing is acting to limit its independence in any way. If the White House believes the territory's special status is not being respected, then the former British enclave would lose its trade privileges.

The legislation drew fire from China, incensed over Washington's attempts to meddle in its internal affairs.

Comment: Beijing has shown considerable restraint during the protests, but for how much longer? As Peter Koenig notes:
But if China gets tired of these incessant western provocations and really wants to put an end to them, the PRC could take over Hong Kong in less than 48 hours, abridge the 50 years of western capitalism and make HK a full-fledged province of China, no privileges, no special status, just a part of sovereign China. End of story.

Big Oil out of favor with millennials

It sounds harsh, but it's true: millennials really do ruin everything. And the oil industry will be no exception. From talent acquisition to courting investors, to finding new end uses for petroleum, the oil industry is facing a whole new set of challenges — one that extends far beyond geopolitical risk premiums and barrel prices.

Oil companies who are quicker to adapt to this changing of the guard will have first pick of investment dollars and top talent, while those who are slow to change will get the leftovers.

Comment: One of the problems is the relationship between Big Oil and the US Deep state. There is no question it is used for control and domination all over the world. So, it's not like Big Oil is entirely innocent. That said, this really isn't an issue for today's 'progressive'. The much bigger, faux issue is man made climate change. The hysteria surrounding this is just another wing of Deep State engineering, and this has the greater influence in creating the demand for greater and greater control over people's lives. Big Oil isn't going anywhere, and neither is its opposition (both justified and unjustified).
