Still from 'Sexy Beasts'
Netflix's series 'Sexy Beasts' has debuted its first trailer, leaving users perplexed and hesitant about people dressing in elaborate animal costumes to go on dates.

The streaming giant has already shown they have faith in the concept by ordering two seasons worth of 'Sexy Beasts' episodes, the first of which debuts on July 21.

The concept of the series is that people will be put into professional-level makeup and prosthetics as mythical creatures or animals and then go on blind dates, the idea being that falling in love will be based entirely on personality and have nothing to do with people's physical appearances.

"Do you have health insurance?" one cast member can be heard saying in the trailer as they are masked by elaborate panda makeup.

Disclose.tv, a Reddit-like service for people who seek "true insight into what is actually happening in the world" has accused Google and Apple of censoring its group chat on Telegram messenger.

The service blamed "Big Tech oligarchs at Google and Apple" for the apparent glitch in the display of its Telegram chat on devices running Android and iOS operating systems. On Android, all comments were replaced with a notice stating that they "cannot be displayed on Telegram apps downloaded from the Google Play Store." The iOS version of the messenger simply refused to display the channel.

CBC President Catherine Tait: "We are shutting down free speech at the CBC to defend free speech"
In a move that can only be described as the pinnacle of embracing snowflake culture, the CBC has said this week it is going to close comments on all of its news links and video posts to Facebook pages to protect the mental health of its journalists.

Journalists - who used to be rugged and used to deal with varying opinions as part of the job description - are "fragile" and "in need of attention", like many other Canadians post-pandemic, the CBC wrote last week. Increasingly, they are facing "vitriol and harassment" for doing their jobs, the report notes.

"For journalists, platforms like Twitter can be a great way to find sources and promote their work, but also a cesspool of hatred. Increasingly, reporters are also physically attacked," Andre Picard told CBC.

Comment: Maybe part of the problem is that people don't like being lied to:

Medical workers outside the Houston Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, earlier this month.
More than 150 health-care workers who did not comply with a Houston-based hospital system's vaccine mandate have been fired or resigned, more than a week after a federal judge upheld the policy.

Houston Methodist — one of the first health systems to require the coronavirus shots — terminated or accepted the resignations of 153 workers Tuesday, spokeswoman Gale Smith said. Smith declined to specify how many were in each category.

The hospital system announced April 1 that staffers would need to be vaccinated to keep their jobs. While 24,947 workers did get vaccinated by earlier deadlines, Houston Methodist suspended 178 workers who had failed to do so on June 7, giving them an additional two weeks to prove they had been immunized. Twenty-five of those employees did get vaccinated, Smith said.

More than 2,000 people signed an open letter saying Canadian media outlets "tiptoe around coverage of Israel and Palestinians."

Two journalists from Canada's national broadcaster say they've been barred from covering the ongoing violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories after signing an open letter calling for more nuanced coverage.

On May 14, an "open letter to Canadian newsrooms on covering Israel-Palestine" began circulating online. The letter, which has now been signed by more than 2,000 people, including many journalists, said Canadian media does not include enough context or Palestinian voices when covering "the ongoing nature of the Israeli occupation." It ended by asking for "fair and balanced coverage" of the conflict.

IKEA accused of racism for plans to serve Juneteenth menu of watermelon and fried chicken

ikea juneteenth menu
IKEA came under fire on Tuesday after one of its stores in Atlanta planned a menu in honor of Juneteenth that would feature fried chicken and watermelon.

The Scandinavian furniture chain's Georgia location sent an email to employees last week alerting its staff members that "to honor the perseverance of Black Americans and acknowledge the progress yet to be made," the IKEA branch is rolling out the special menu on the federal holiday. The store-wide memo also announced that the it will be showcasing videos to observe Juneteenth.

The special Juneteenth menu also included collard greens, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, and candied yams — all traditional Southern comfort food.

Comment: Some day, corporations will realize that there is actually no reason to commemorate any minority celebration because they simply can't help but get it wrong. Don't change your corporate logo for Pride, don't change your menu for Juneteenth, don't have crazy sales for Passover. Just be the same corporation you are everyday and let people celebrate how (if) they want.

The Covid-19 pandemic saw an enormous growth in wealth disparity worldwide in 2020, the Credit Suisse Research Institute says. It reported a 5.2 million increase in the number of millionaires, to a total of 56.1 million people.

"The repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic led to widespread rises in wealth inequality in 2020," the annual Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report states, claiming that the rich reportedly cashed in on surging stocks.

The number of millionaires increased to 56.1 million people, who are reportedly holding 45.8% of the world's wealth - with 1.7 million of them residing in the US.

Young father executed in street amid spike in violence across US, Democrat activist claims he had it coming

On the eve of Father's Day, a young dad named Gyovanni Arzuaga was allegedly executed in the middle of a Chicago city street. He was 24 years old.

According to CBS 2 Chicago, the crime was live-streamed on Facebook by an unidentified individual. The live stream depicts Arzuaga and his girlfriend, Yasmin Perez, being forcibly removed from their vehicle by a group of individuals, during a celebration for Puerto Rican People's Day. Arzuaga and Perez had two children together.

In the video, the group of individuals appears to pull Arzuaga and Perez out of their car, before scattering. As Arzuaga and Perez lay on the concrete, a man appears to approach them "and [shoot] them at point blank range."

After a Puerto Rican couple is brutally shot in Chicago by black gang, Democrat activist claims they had it coming

43rd Annual Puerto Rican Day parade in Chicago, Illinois, June 19, 2021
Conservative columnist Ann Coulter shared the video and commented that it will be ignored by national media, since African Americans gunning down Puerto Ricans in Chicago simply doesn't fit the Democrat narrative about racism in the US. A Democrat activist named Richard Taite snapped back that the couple had it coming.

"I'm sorry is that a confederate flag they're flying from their car? Trolling that neighborhood? Yeah I don't give a s**t," Taite tweeted at Coulter. When corrected - the flag on the car was Puerto Rican - he backtracked and called the shooting a "horrible incident," but refused to apologize.

"Had these people been white supremacists trolling a neighborhood primarily of color, I would have been agnostic," insisted Taite, founder of the Democracy Preservation Initiative (DPI), a political action committee (PAC) fundraising for President Joe Biden.

The reason Arzuaga and Perez had a flag on their car was the annual Puerto Rican Day parade earlier. "There was no shortage of excitement, enthusiasm and pride in Humboldt Park Saturday. You couldn't turn down any neighborhood street without seeing the Puerto Rican flag," is how WLS, the local ABC affiliate, described it.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot marched in the parade herself. After not commenting on the shooting the entire weekend, on Monday Lightfoot condemned it as "horrific" and insisted the perpetrators would be brought to justice. Chicago PD has "promising leads" from the community and have identified the shooter, who should be in custody "relatively soon," she said.

"I don't believe they are typical by any stretch of young black men in our city. But it's horrific nonetheless," Lightfoot said, urging the perpetrators to turn themselves in as police will do everything to "make sure that these people who created such brazen chaos and harm are held in custody 'til they see their day in court."

Meanwhile, Taite's Twitter account showed up as deleted, presumably due to the backlash. His PAC, a California-based outfit, describes itself as "a team of impassioned citizens who feel democracy and liberty are at the core of our values" and wanting to "leave our children and their children a more inclusive and compassionate America."

The DPI also boasted of receiving an award for "best new and unusual tactic" in "leveraging values" to identify and target voters in the 2020 election.
We're extremely grateful to @TheAAPC & all the judges who awarded us Best New & Unusual Tactic Gold Pollie Award for Leveraging Values to Identify and Target Persuadable Voters in the '20 Pres. election.

Trump dismisses climate change, calls on Biden to fire joint chiefs

Trump dismisses climate change, calls on Biden to fire joint chiefs.
Former President Trump issued a statement Thursday dismissing the threat of climate change and saying that President Biden should fire the joint chiefs of staff if they view it as a big problem for the country.

The message from Trump, whose is still banned on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms, comes as Biden makes his first foreign trip as president to Europe.

Biden is expected to discuss climate change during the trip with other European leaders.

Trump repeatedly downplayed climate change during his presidency, calling it a hoax and working to remove regulations put into place by the Obama administration to reduce U.S. carbon emissions. Biden in his first week in office returned the U.S. to the Paris climate agreement that Trump had removed the nation from.

Trump's emailed statement on Thursday also took Biden's comments out of context.
"Biden just said that he was told by the Joint Chiefs of Staff that Climate Change is our greatest threat. If that is the case, and they actually said this, he ought to immediately fire the Joint Chiefs of Staff for being incompetent!" Trump said in a statement on Thursday.

Comment: All the facts tell us that the planet is rapidly cooling, not warming. It is all part of the natural cycle that is happening in our solar system. Humans have almost no impact on these global processes.

Many studies and scientific papers show that the Global warming narrative is a massive scam to spread fear and steal from the common people.

Donald Trump was a threat to the PTB's control system because he saw through many of their false narratives, such as global warming.

Now they managed to install Sleepy Joe who will do whatever he is told.
