Sweden sees surge in deadly shootings, blamed on 'social contagion'

Sweden has gone from having one of the lowest rates of gun violence in Europe to having one of the highest, a report said on Wednesday, describing what one researcher called a "social contagion" of killings.

Sweden, with a population of 10 million, saw 42 deadly shootings in 2019, the last year with verified statistics. Preliminary figures for 2020 also showed more than 40 people were shot dead.

Of 22 European countries with comparable data that were analysed in the report from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (BRA), only Croatia had more gun deaths per capita over the last four years. No other country had seen as swift an increase as Sweden.

Comment: Social contagion is a very real phenomena but it would appear that the researchers are, for some reason, failing to take into account Sweden's policy of mass migration policy that's correlated with the increase in violent crime. It's also shown by the statistics that these criminal gangs involved in this crime surge are largely made up of migrants. And then there's another factor to consider, which is the deliberate attempts at stoking fear and destabilization:

200 villagers in India flee homes to avoid Covid vaccination - some jump into nearby river

Legitimate skepticism about these vaccines has become a widespread issue in some rural villages across India. Here, Indian villagers walk cattle through a market during permitted morning opening hours amid Rajasthan's ongoing lockdown on May 17, 2021 in Parli, Tonk District, Rajasthan, India.

As medical officials aim to quickly administer COVID-19 vaccines across India, residents of one village were seen fleeing their homes and jumping into a nearby river to avoid what they believed was a "poisonous injection."

Comment: It's becoming clear that there are serious side effects which could bring the vaccines in to that category.

Around 200 people in Sisoda village in Barabanki, a rural area in India's Uttar Pradesh state, fled their homes when a team of health officials arrived to launch a vaccination campaign on Saturday.

"We reached the village with a medical team to vaccinate villagers. However, as soon as they saw us approaching, many of them ran away. When we tried to stop them, they jumped in the river. We tried to sensitize them about the importance of the vaccine but they did not relent," sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) Rajiv Shukla said, according to the Times of India.

Comment: Why on earth would they 'try to stop them'? These supposed medical staff must have been pretty aggressive for the villagers to see little option but to jump in the river to evade them.

Comment: Considering the highly experimental nature of some of the vaccines and that they are totally unnecessary for the vast majority - if not all - people, as well as how the majority of vaccines on offer have been plagued with reports of severe side effects and even a surge in deaths, their reaction is probably the most reasonable we've seen thus far.

However, what with India's experience with The Gates Foundation pushing of polio vaccines that have, at times, actually led to outbreaks and a worsening of polio, as well as the dire results farmers have suffered due to Monsanto - to name but a few of the disasters brought upon them thanks to the West's 'help' - it should be no surprise that they're rightly suspicious.

Also note that it was only back in February that the Pfizer vaccine was rejected by India for not meeting its safety requirements.

A threatening letter and unidentified white powder were sent to Sen. Rand Paul's Kentucky home, reports said.

The FBI and Capitol Hill police are investigating whether the substance was dangerous, Politico reported on Monday.

"I'll finish what your neighbor started you motherf — — " the envelope read. Paul wrote on Twitter:

"I take these threats immensely seriously. As a repeated target of violence, it is reprehensible that Twitter allows C-list celebrities to encourage violence against me and my family."

Support for Israel among young US Evangelical Christians drops sharply

Since 2018, backing for Israel dropped from 75% to 33%; nearly half of evangelicals aged 18-29 say they favor establishment of Palestinian state, voted for Biden over Trump.

A new survey points to a growing divide in the US between young evangelical Christians and their elders, particularly in their views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, indicating Israel could see a significant drop in support in coming years.

While the religious group has long been a bulwark of support for Israel in the US, the Barna Group-administered poll commissioned by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke indicates a sharp drop in support for the Jewish state and raises concerns that Israel could lose a key ally going forward, its authors told The Times of Israel on Monday. The poll was commissioned as part of their research for an upcoming book on the issue.

In a poll of over 700 evangelical Christians between the ages of 18 and 29 that was conducted between March and April, respondents were asked where they place their support in the "Israeli-Palestinian dispute." Just 33.6 percent said with Israel, 24.3% said with the Palestinians and 42.2 percent said with neither side.

This marked a significant shift from 2018, when 69% young evangelicals — responding to another survey conducted by UNCP professors, Motti Inbari and Kirill Bumin — said they side with Israel, 5.6% said they sided with the Palestinians and 25.7% said they didn't take either side.

New Hampshire auditors find reason for discrepancy in votes: Scan only counted 28 percent of test ballots for GOP candidates

In the latest audit update, auditors in charge of examining votes in Windham, New Hampshire may have discovered why initial results showed a discrepancy in the vote count for a democratic candidate.

As reported by Human Events News in February, the Windham Board of Selectmen unanimously requested an investigation into what exactly happened on November 3, as did several of the republicans and democrats involved in the races.

There was an official vote recount held that, while not changing the declared winners (all republicans), did find the four republican candidates had votes materially undercounted by just over six-percent. This appears to be the largest recount-to-actual difference in the history of New Hampshire elections.

While republicans did win all four seats on November 3, a democrat candidate - Kristi St. Lauren - requested a recount, which was granted because she lost by 24 votes. However, during the recount, it was revealed that she didn't lose by 24. Rather, the GOP candidates had actually received 300 additional votes, while St. Laurent lost 99, the Epoch Times reports. Auditors involved in the process said they may have discovered why there was a discrepancy in the initial results and the recount tally.

Portland riot on George Floyd anniversary

Two crowds gathered in Portland to mark the anniversary of the murder of George Floyd — one peacefully singing and chanting and carrying signs, while the other gathered downtown, prepared for conflict, police said Wednesday. Five people were ultimately arrested after the downtown crowd lit fires, broke windows and threw objects at officers.

The downtown crowd included people wearing helmets and carrying gas masks, backpacks and tote bags. Some pushed a dumpster against the Multnomah County Justice Center and lit it on fire, while many others held umbrellas up to obscure their actions, and people chanted to burn the building down, the police statement said.

Tennessee bans teaching critical race theory in schools

Tennessee is the latest state to ban teachers from teaching certain concepts of race and racism in public schools, where teachers risk losing valuable state funding if they violate the new measure.

Republican Gov. Bill Lee signed a measure into law Monday after it attracted some of the most impassioned debates inside the GOP-controlled General Assembly this year. He signaled his support after it cleared the Legislature, arguing that students should learn "the exceptionalism of our nation," not things that "inherently divide" people.

"We need to make sure that our kids recognize that this country is moving toward a more perfect union, that we should teach the exceptionalism of our nation and how people can live together and work together to make a greater nation, and to not teach things that inherently divide or pit either Americans against Americans or people groups against people groups," Lee told reporters at the time.

Path to re-election: Majority of Syrians believe Assad is only leader able to confront the West

Although the Syrian Civil War has left nearly 400,000 people dead and millions more displaced, Bashar al-Assad is perceived as the person most fit to stand at the helm of the war-torn country. And a local expert says he is likely to win the presidential race on Wednesday.

In 2014, when Daesh* was at its peak in Syria, President Bashar al-Assad won the presidential race, getting some 90 percent of the vote. On Wednesday, when Syrians head back to polling stations, he is expected to claim victory once again.

In Assad We Trust

Taleb Ibrahim, a Damascus-based political analyst, says the outcome of the upcoming elections is rather predictable and this stems from the vast majority of the population being supportive of their president and them wanting him stay in power.

"He is seen as a leader who steered the country through this complicated war. He is also perceived as a person who can stand firm in the face of western agenda and he is the one who can help the Syrian people to regain stability and peace".
