Fox stars Tucker Carlson & Sean Hannity face sexual harassment allegations, former host Ed Henry accused of rape in new lawsuit

Comment: Putting pressure on corporate advertizers - and thus Fox Corp - to drop two of the last remaining voices of reason on US TV apparently failed, so The Beast has made its next maneuver: Cry rape and raise a mob against them.

America's ratings leader in cable news has been rocked by new allegations of sexual harassment, with the latest complaint against Fox News implicating its two biggest stars, in addition to accusing former host Ed Henry of rape.

A lawsuit filed on Monday in the US District Court in New York alleged that former Fox News contributor Cathy Areu was harassed by Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and two other Fox anchors, and that former Fox Business Network producer Jennifer Eckhart was sexually assaulted and raped by former news anchor Ed Henry.

The suit alleged that Carlson and another Fox host, Howard Kurtz, tried to get Areu to go to their hotel rooms in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Hannity was accused of humiliating Areu by offering any man in the studio $100 to take her out on a date. She said she was no longer invited back regularly to appear on Hannity's show after failing to play along. Carlson also retaliated, Areu claims, saying she was booked on his show only three times in 2019 after sidestepping his unwanted advances in December 2018.

Comment: Simultaneously, Carlson is onto the New York Times preparing a story this week in which he claims the propaganda outlet intends to publish his new address, thus signalling instructions to Antifa hordes.


As well as being immensely popular, Carlson has the habit of saying things on the air that the PTB would rather the public wasn't aware of. It is likely only a matter of time before they shut him up.

Why no one can EVER 'recover from Covid-19' in England

People living in England have become increasingly concerned in recent weeks, as Public Health England's (PHE) figures demonstrate a relentless daily toll of more than a hundred Covid-associated deaths, several days a week (see Figure 1).

This is in stark contrast to the more reassuring recovery in neighbouring regions (Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), where there are days with no Covid-associated deaths whatsoever.

One reason for this is due to a statistical flaw in the way that PHE compiles 'out of hospital' deaths data, rather than any genuine difference between the regions of the UK:
"'Linking data on confirmed positive cases (identified through testing by NHS and PHE laboratories and commercial partners) to the NHS Demographic Batch Service: when a patient dies, the NHS central register of patients is notified (this is not limited to deaths in hospitals). The list of all lab-confirmed cases is checked against the NHS central register each day, to check if any of the patients have died.'
It seems that PHE regularly looks for people on the NHS database who have ever tested positive for Covid, and simply checks to see if they are still alive or not. PHE does not appear to consider how long ago the Covid test result was, nor whether the person has been successfully treated in hospital and discharged to the community. Anyone who has tested Covid-positive but subsequently died at a later date of any cause will be included on the PHE Covid death figures.

Comment: The fudging of numbers isn't just confined to the UK: How COVID-19 fatality reports are distorting the data on daily death rates

That's 'materialist science' in the Age of Covid for you: illogical, contradictory, untestable, inconsistent, and incoherent.

How COVID-19 fatality reports are distorting the data on daily death rates

Seven months into the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, state governments and media outlets continue to publicize confusing, misleading data on the spread of the disease here, perpetuating fears that deaths from the virus are skyrocketing on a daily basis even as those fatalities are generally distributed across a period of days, weeks or even months.

At issue is how state health departments publicize daily reports of fatalities within the state's borders. State health officials have for months been publishing two sets of mortality statistics: deaths that occurred on the publication date in question, and deaths that have only recently been catalogued from state backlogs.

The Arizona Department of Health Services publishes both of those figures on its coronavirus dashboard: On its "Summary" page, it lists the "number of new deaths reported today," while on its "Covid-19 Deaths" tab, the state lists the actual "deaths by date of death."

The distinction is a critical one: The state's "new deaths" every day do not actually reflect the number of coronavirus fatalities Arizona has logged in the past 24 hours, but rather the number of COVID-19 deaths it has identified from both new and older death certificates.

Comment: The wide-spread pattern of over-reporting deaths "due to covid" is now fairly clear:

Police chief hits back at Swedish scholars who suggest 'racist' force should be dismantled or reduced

A police chief in Sweden rejected as "political activism" the view of two university scholars who claimed that law enforcers are driving criminality up with alleged "racism," instead of solving the problem.

Lund University's Ida Nafstad and Amin Parsa wrote an opinion piece in a local newspaper Sydsvenskan, claiming that the police was "an outdated power based on structural racism".

The scholars accused law enforcement of using minority groups "as a laboratory to test new and non-certified tools," such as face recognition technology. They cited IBM, which have previously said that such technology may promote "racial profiling."

The scholars added that by checking certain neighborhoods (the police's National Operations Department labels them "especially vulnerable areas"), the police produce crime statistics that legitimize more control of poor neighborhoods, while well-to-do areas are not controlled in the same way at all.

International Broadcasting Association berates Latvia & Lithuania for 'political decision' to ban RT

Latvia and Lithuania should "reverse without delay" their bans of tv network RT, a UK-based trade group said, adding that the decisions appeared to be political in nature, are based on an error and failed to stick to due process.

Media regulators in the two Baltic nations have recently banned RT from broadcasting, claiming that this was done to enforce EU sanctions. The decisions were criticized by the Association for International Broadcasting (AIB), a UK-based industry body, which counts among its members the UK's BBC Global News, Japan's NHK World Service, Canada's CBC, as well as RT itself.

In letters sent to Latvian and Lithuanian officials, AIB protested "in the strongest terms" what it perceived as "political decisions" to ban RT "that have no regulatory legitimacy."

RT was ousted from Latvia and Lithuania after their state regulators mistakenly claimed that Dmitry Kiselyov, a Russian media official who has been under personal EU sanctions since 2014, was heading the channel. Kiselyov heads a different Russian outlet that has no relation to RT, a fact that even a cursory investigation can reveal.

Police in Italy have raided what they called a "very powerful" sect, said to be entrenched in several cities across the country, which preyed on young women - many of whom were minors - subjecting them to sex abuse and torture.

The alleged sect was busted after a lengthy two-year probe into the cult's activities, dubbed 'Operation Dionysus', Novara police said Monday. Law enforcement carried out dozens of searches across the country over the weekend, mainly in the cities of Italy's north, including Novara, Milan, Genoa and Pavia.

The sect was led by a 77-year-old man from Novara, one of the cult's victims told the police. While the identity of the sect leader has not been disclosed, police said that his followers were allowed to call him only "the Doctor" or plainly "Him," and revered the man as a god of sorts. The cult's top members referred to themselves as "beasts," while potential recruits were seen as their "prey."

A Hardin County couple is now on house arrest after one of them tested positive for COVID-19 and decided not to sign documents agreeing to self-quarantine.

Last week, Elizabeth Linscott got tested for the COVID-19 because she was planning to visit her parents in Michigan.

"My grandparents wanted to see me, too," Linscott said. "So just to make sure if they tested negative, that they would be OK, everything would be fine."

After testing positive but without showing any symptoms, Linscott said the health department contacted her and requested she sign documents that will limit her traveling anywhere unless she calls the health department first. She said she chose to not sign the documents.

"My part was if I have to go to the ER, if I have to go to the hospital, I'm not going to wait to get the approval to go," she said.

Uproar in Ireland as incoming Minister for Children & Families linked with pedophilia - Antifa attempt to interrupt protest in Dublin backfires

Gardai [Irish police] broke up a scuffle outside Leinster House as campaigners protested for the resignation of Minister for Children Roderic O'Gorman.

The right-wing campaigners protested on Saturday after a picture of Minister O'Gorman with LGBT rights campaigner Peter Tatchell began circulating online.

Tatchell is known for presenting controversial views regarding the age of consent and paedophilia.

Garda officers broke up a confrontation with counter-protesters.



Comment: That's the same police Antifa in Ireland also wants to abolish, by the way...


Comment: With no exceptions, every Irish media outlet is defending the new 'green' govt minister (for CHILDREN!) against 'the abuse' he is 'suffering' from 'a few far-right thugs'.

After 5 months of rule-by-emergency - during which time the permanent bureaucracy of course placed the country under the fullest expression of the severe Western 'Covid-19 lockdown' - a new govt finally came into office last month.

The 'kingmaker' element in the new govt is Ireland's Green party, from which this new 'Minister for Children' was selected. O'Gorman has certain views on how to raise children that are never, ever going to go over well with ordinary people - namely the same destructive policies implemented elsewhere across the West in the last decade; lowering the age of consent, amplifying the promotion of LGBT propaganda and so-called 'gender theory', and encouraging/facilitating children to undergo sex change procedures.

O'Gorman's first act as 'Minister for Children & Families' was to push for teenagers to undergo 'sex changes'...

This is the what the speaker - Justin Barrett of the National Party - was saying just prior to being interrupted by Antifa:

A group of mothers stand arm-in-arm outside the federal building and Justice Center in downtown Portland, Oregon.
Hey, feds: Leave our kids alone!

Dozens of moms formed a human shield between anti-racism protesters and law enforcement officials outside a federal courthouse in downtown Portland on Sunday.

"Moms are here, feds stay clear," chanted the group of about 100 women, according to footage posted on social media.

Many of the women wore yellow and donned bike helmets as they linked arms. They carried signs that read "Angry mama bear BLM" and "Moms are pissed."

It was at least the second night in a row that the group showed up to the ongoing demonstrations against police brutality and racism.

Comment: Peaceful citizens? These moms don't seem to know what their kids have been up to.

Conservatism may have found an unlikely savior in Kanye West, even if he doesn't take the White House this fall

Rapper Kanye West holds his first rally in support of his presidential bid in North Charleston, South Carolina, U.S. July 19, 2020.
Rap superstar Kanye West seems determined to run for president. Whether he succeeds or fails, his bravery and outspokenness may turn a new generation to conservative thought.

To say that Kanye West is a polarizing figure is an understatement. Even among conservatives such as myself, it's hard to really get a read on him. Some people seem to think that there shouldn't be any worship of a celebrity, whereas others see him as a blessing in disguise. I think the latter.

I believe conservatism as a political philosophy is in trouble because conservatives are losing the culture war. Generally speaking, conservatives do not do very well when it comes to culture, because many don't have the mindset to have an effect. A lot of artists get immersed in a "screw you, got mine" school of thought when it comes to their art and its success, complete political pandering or self-absorbed nonsense.

Kanye seems to understand something. Aside from a self-awareness that he is one of the greatest rappers to walk the planet, he understands the importance of community. He's also honest about the things that harm the black community and the family structure. Take his recent speech on abortion for example. Was it a nuanced observation, taking the science into account and made with spellbinding reason? No, it was an emotional tale of how life is a precious thing, which is more impactful.
