The delusional beliefs of the lockdown fanatics

Lee Cain, Boris Johnson's Director of Communications during the early stages of the pandemic, has responded to ex-Chancellor Rishi Sunak's claim that the U.K.'s lockdown policy was based on fear and questionable scientific advice, with the trade-offs not even discussed. Writing in the Spectator, he says none of it is true, labelling it "Covid revisionism".
I know because I sat around the cabinet table as politicians, scientists, economists and epidemiologists agonised over the extent to which lockdown would devastate lives and livelihoods. It was not an easy decision for anyone. We locked down because we knew the cost of 'letting Covid rip' was far more damaging to both the health and wealth of the nation. But as the pandemic fades into our collective memory - and critics try to rewrite history - it's clear that the biggest mistake we made was not locking down but doing so too late.

I vividly remember the morning of Saturday, March 14th 2020 when, as part of a small team of advisers gathered in the Prime Minister's office, Boris Johnson was told that the initial plan for managing the pandemic was failing. Without urgent intervention, the country's healthcare system would collapse under the strain of tens of thousands of seriously ill patients. The challenges facing us in that first wave were immense. We knew the NHS didn't have enough beds, there was a massive shortfall in PPE and a severely limited number of ventilators.

If you're watching this right now, you are missing a rare primetime address from Joe Biden. Biden doesn't give a lot of those for obvious reasons, but tonight's topic is worthy of the occasion. America, ladies and gentlemen, is under attack and not from our usual enemies. The threat we face tonight is existential, but it's not coming from barefoot religious extremists living in caves.

It's not the Chinese government. It's not even Vladimir Putin himself, the most diabolically evil man in history. No, ladies and gentlemen, this threat is worse than all of that and it's homegrown. As they say in the horror movies, it's coming from inside the house. The single greatest threat to America today is Republican voters, all 75 million of them. They are Nazis and destroyers of democracy. They must be stopped. That is the message of Joe Biden's speech. Just moments ago, he referred to MAGA forces who are apparently marshaling at Red Lobster near you, ready to take over this country. Now, to underscore how deeply Joe Biden means all of this, tonight's address in Philadelphia is not being categorized as a campaign event ahead of the midterm elections, which is what it looks like. No. Instead, this speech has the full sponsorship of the White House.

In other words, what Joe Biden is saying right now is the official position of the entire executive branch of the U.S. government. That would include the Justice Department, the various Intel agencies and the world's most powerful standing military. Think about that. Does it make you nervous? You don't have to be a Trump voter to see a speech like this as a turning point in American history. For hundreds of years, the U.S. has had a political system comprised of two competing parties. If you were to declare one of those parties criminal and illegitimate, what would you be left with?

'If you can't measure it, you can't fix it'

Center-right scholars have developed a measurement tool "scorecard" that allows students, parents, taxpayers and legislators to determine how embedded diversity, equity and inclusion principles and practices are at a given institution.

It will "allow stakeholders to assess the damage already done and identify areas for action," said Portland State University Professor Bruce Gilley in a news release that called the tool a way to measure DEI "sickness" levels at colleges and universities.

Gilley is chapter president of the Oregon Association of Scholars, which developed the tool along with the National Association of Scholars.

Ukrainian officials accused of stealing trainloads of aid

Ukrainian officials in the eastern Zaporozhye Region are being investigated for allegedly stealing massive amounts of humanitarian aid sent to them. They are accused of looting hundreds of freight cars' worth of goods.

Raids at offices and addresses associated with the suspected embezzlers were reported on Tuesday. Agents of the SBU, Ukraine's successor to the KGB, and the anti-corruption agency NABU conducted the operations, according to a statement by the agencies.

The region is mostly controlled by Russian forces, but its capital Zaporozhye and some of the surrounding areas are under Kiev's control. The raids targeted the Kiev-appointed administration and members of the city council, according to the SBU and NABU. The agencies also reported confiscating what they believe to be narcotics and illegal firearms while searching the premises.

While the official statement offered few details, a more comprehensive account of the ongoing probe came from Ukrainian public figure Evgeny Shevchenko, who is widely described by the local media as an unpaid agent for the NABU. The agency had previously confirmed working with him.

According to his post on Facebook, the suspected grifters made off with "almost all humanitarian aid" sent to the region, selling the goods through local retail chains. The total volume of what was stolen amounts to 22 sea transport containers, 389 freight train cars and 220 trucks, Shevchenko claimed.

Comment: Why not. Ukraine has no limits on corruption, beginning with Zelensky.

In January of this year the California state government formed the "Vaccine Work Group" which was tasked to construct a series of draconian bills designed to silence the large percentage of the population that refuses to comply with covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates. Most of these bills have since been attempted and have failed to pass or have been shelved. They included:

A bill that would have required all schoolchildren to get vaccinated against COVID, another that would have made all employees in California show proof of vaccination, and legislation that would have required local law enforcement officials to enforce public health orders.

According to Politico, the U.S. Department of Justice is in the early stages of drafting an antitrust lawsuit against Apple. The report suggests that a potential lawsuit could arrive by the end of the year but also stresses that a final decision over whether or not to sue the company has yet to be made.

TechCrunch notes that in 2019, a deal was made between U.S. regulators that allowed the Justice Department to launch investigations of Apple and Google while the Federal Trade Commission would focus on other Big Tech investigations including Amazon and Facebook.

The DOJ has reportedly been investigating whether Apple abused its market power to dominate smaller tech companies, including hardware and software makers. Apple's control over its App Store has long angered developers who wish to sell their apps directly to consumers without apple taking a 30 percent cut of all transactions. This issue became the subject of Fortnite developer Epic Games' lawsuit against Apple which is currently under appeal.

Raul Ortiz, The Head of The U.S. Border Patrol has testified under oath that he believes the Biden administration's policy of "no consequences" for illegal immigrants trying to enter the country has made the border less safe, caused an exponential increase in people attempting to cross, and has directly caused what he believes constitutes a "crisis".

The footage of Ortiz's comments was obtained by Fox News and comes from a deposition from last month relating to a lawsuit brought against the Department of Homeland Security by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody.

The suit alleges that Biden's ending of Trump administration policies, such as the 'Remain in Mexico' policy where migrants were not allowed into the U.S. until fully background checked, has led to a mass migration emergency in the last year and a half.

Comment: Joe's invitees should be delivered to the White House - all 2 million of them.

Ravil Maganov, the vice president and chair of the board of directors of Russian oil giant Lukoil, died after falling from a building in Moscow.

Several Russian media outlets reported on Thursday morning that the top executive fell from the window of the Moscow Central Clinical Hospital, a top-notch medical facility that serves senior Russian officials and other elite clients. The hospital later confirmed the news, saying that law enforcement was on the scene to investigate the incident.

Lukoil also confirmed Maganov's death, stating that it came "after a lengthy serious illness."

Maganov was reportedly undergoing treatment at the hospital. Initial reports said he died after falling from the sixth floor of the building. There is speculation that the 67-year-old may have taken his own life after receiving bad news about his condition.
