Telegram founder rants on life in Silicon Valley: US is a 'police state and bad for IT business'

High taxes, bad healthcare, police repression, lack of culture, poor education... Telegram founder Pavel Durov wants you to know he really doesn't like Silicon Valley and thinks living or doing business in the US is a terrible idea.

The St. Petersburg-born Durov, 35, is best known as a cofounder of Russia's premier social network VKontakte and later Telegram, an immensely popular encrypted messaging app. As a self-professed vegetarian and libertarian, he gives many Silicon Valley tech moguls a run for their money when it comes to quirks - but outdid them all when he resigned from VKontakte in 2014 and left Russia altogether, saying it was "incompatible with internet business at the moment."

He has since bought citizenship in the tiny Caribbean country of St. Kitts and Nevis. This week, however, he posted a rant in Russian seeking to disabuse aspiring Russian tech entrepreneurs from believing a puff piece about Silicon Valley made by opposition blogger Yury Dud.

"The US is not a good place to live or do IT business. I'm convinced that anyone who wants to leave Eastern Europe must consider other options."

Comment: Americans would rather believe 'the dream' than objectively view 'the reality.' One of these will create change. The other will not.

Covid-19 contact tracing program launched - could mean mandatory 'evacuations' (kidnapping)

An Orwellian contact tracing program has begun in the US, including a potential army of tracers & mandatory evacuations (kidnapping).

A community contact tracing pilot program

has been launched according to this Ventura County (California) public health official Dr. Robert Levin. In his announcement, he states that his county is beginning to go around to people's homes and test them for the COVID-19 (the fake virus that still has never been isolated, purified and 100% proven to exist). Then, if the governmental tests (some of which have been shown to have been contaminated with coronavirus itself, and to produce over 80% false positives) find that you "have the COVID infection", you will be further quarantined and isolated - including potentially being removed from your home! This guy is actually talking about mandatory evacuation of people - kidnapping or grabbing adults and seniors! This is in line with the ominous warning that WHO (World Health Organization) official Michael Ryan gave a over a month ago when he spoke of removing people from their families. It is also in line with what several US state governors have claimed they can do with their newly-invoked and tyrannical emergency powers. At what point are people going to say "Enough is enough"?

The White House has marked the victory over Nazi Germany in a tweet hailing the role of the US and the UK, while leaving out the nation that sacrificed the most - the Soviet Union. Netizens were quick to provide a history lesson.

"On May 8, 1945, America and Great Britain had victory over the Nazis!" the White House said in a message posted on its official Twitter handle late Friday, complete with footage of a wreath-laying ceremony to mark the occasion.

According to a shocking new survey, 52% of small businesses "expect to be out of business within six months"

Anyone that was hoping for a "quick recovery" for the U.S. economy can forget about that right now. Yes, many states are attempting to "reopen", but in most cases it will be a multi-stage process that takes many months to complete. Meanwhile, fear of COVID-19 is going to keep many Americans from conducting business as usual even after all of the restrictions have been finally lifted. Even now, many of the stores, restaurants and movie theaters that have reopened are seeing very, very few customers. Unfortunately, millions of small businesses are not going to be able to survive in such a depressed economic environment for very long.

In America today, the rules of the game are slanted very heavily in favor of huge corporations and are slanted very heavily against small businesses.

It has been this way for years, but millions of small business owners just kept soldiering on because they wanted to work for themselves and not some corporate behemoth.

But for most small businesses things have never been easy. For most of them, it is usually such a struggle to try to eke out a very meager profit at the end of the month after covering expenses and payroll. But now COVID-19 has come along, and many small businesses haven't had any revenue for weeks.

The federal health minister has spoken of the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic on mental health with suicides expected to jump by as much as 25 per cent.

Greg Hunt told reporters on Thursday coronavirus can have an "indirect impact" on mental health as he announced $500 million in additional funding.

"Coronavirus can have direct impacts, obviously. We've seen that around the world," he said.

"But the indirect impact can also be mental health."

Mr Hunt has studied modelling presented by Sydney University's Brain and Mind Centre along with the Australian Medical Association.

Italian MP Vittorio Sgarbi in parliament: 'Covid-19 death numbers are false, designed to terrorize citizens, establish dictatorship'

Vittorio Sgarbi

On Friday, April 24, 2020, Vittorio Sgarbi, a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, denounced what he claims are false coronavirus death statistics. Sgarbi feels that fake statistics are being propagated by the government and the media to terrorize the citizens of Italy and establish a dictatorship.

The member of the Forza Italia party slammed the closure of 60% of Italian businesses for 25,000 Chinese-Coronavirus deaths from the floor of the legislature. "It's not true," he said. "Don't use the deaths for rhetoric and terrorism." According to the National Institute of Health, 96.3% did not die of coronavirus, but of other pathologies stated Sgarbi - which means that only 925 have died from the virus and 24,075 have died of other things claimed Sgarbi, "...the virus was little more than an influenza. Don't lie! Tell the truth!"

Sgarbi's controversial speech was delivered during 'Cura Italia' decree law discussions. The proposal intends to develop measures to strengthen the national health service based on what he claims is false data. Sgarbi challenged his colleagues to investigate the real numbers themselves and be united in the reporting the truth:

Let us be united in liberation against hypocrisy and lies, against falsifications, against the false numbers that are given to terrorize Italians. The 25,000 dead, as Professor Bassetti said, died of heart attacks, cancer and other [comorbidities]... Let's not use them to humiliate Italy. Let's not use them to give citizens false news. Give the numbers, check them out, and I challenge you before a jury of honor, Trizzino, to look at the numbers...

EU says borders should stay closed until June 15, workers are exempt

RT
Fri, 08 May 2020 17:37 UTC

The European Union will likely keep its external borders shut until June 15, after a recommendation from the European Commission to extend the current Covid-19 travel ban by another 30 days.

In a statement on Friday, the Commission said that despite progress in many countries, the coronavirus situation "remains fragile both in Europe and worldwide" and calls for "continued measures" to reduce the virus spread.

Lifting travel restrictions should therefore be effected in a "phased and coordinated" way in order to prevent a second wave of infections, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson said.

Court document filed in 1996 confirms Tara Reade told of harassment in Biden's office

A glance at the allegations against Joe Biden and Tara Reade's reaction

Tara Reade, ex-staff assistant to presumptive Democratic 2020 presidential nominee Joe Biden, told the San Luis Obispo Tribune on May 1, 2020, she wants to see the former vice president admit an alleged 1993 sexual assault and step out of the race. Tara Reade, ex-staff assistant to presumptive Democratic 2020 presidential nominee Joe Biden, told the San Luis Obispo Tribune on May 1, 2020, she wants to see the former vice president admit an alleged 1993 sexual assault and step out of the race. By David Caraccio

A court document from 1996 shows former Senate staffer Tara Reade told her ex-husband she was sexually harassed while working for Joe Biden in 1993.

The declaration — exclusively obtained by The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, California — does not say Biden committed the harassment nor does it mention Reade's more recent allegations of sexual assault.

Reade's then-husband Theodore Dronen wrote the court declaration. Dronen at the time was contesting a restraining order Reade filed against him days after he filed for divorce, Superior Court records show.

In it, he writes Reade told him about "a problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe Biden's office."

Lesson of WWII: 'Industrialized mass murder' only possible when people stop questioning narratives

RT
Fri, 08 May 2020 09:30 UTC

The 75th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany should serve as a reminder to all that the Holocaust was carried out using a tightly controlled, unchallenged narrative, filmmaker Werner Herzog told RT.

Having grown up in the ruins of post-war Germany, the acclaimed director, screenwriter and producer spoke with Sophie Co. host Sophie Shevardnadze about lessons that can be gleaned from one of the darkest episodes in human history.

The atrocities carried out by the Nazis were the result of a lockstep narrative of "demonization" which replaced facts, Herzog observed. He argued that scapegoating people and entire nations - "Jewish people, the French, the Russians," and so on - can still be seen "very clearly" today.

"It is not so much what is factually happening, it's who owns the narrative. And we have to be very, very careful and watchful about looking at the media. What are the media doing? Is there some sort of almost collective brainwashing going on or not? ... [W]e have to be quite vigilant and we should think on our own."

The "industrialized mass murder" of the Holocaust - a mechanized system of death not seen before in human history - required manufactured consent, he stressed.

Comment: It is true, the worldwide heath crisis will alter our 'collective behavior' - but it won't be an improvement for the individual as much as a victory for the overlords of the 'new global collective'.
