If The Circumstances Are What They Seem, It Would Most Likely Be A Gross Injustice If That Trucker In Minneapolis Was Prosecuted

I have been following a very disturbing story about a truck driver who may be facing prosecution for being attacked by a mob in his truck with gun and then trying to escape and accidentally dragging a person along under his truck .
Bogdan Vechirko , 35 , of Otsego , was jailed Sunday evening on suspicion of assault and held in the Hennepin County jail until midday Tuesday in connection with his empty fuel tanker barreling through a crowd marching to protest the May 25 death of George Floyd after being restrained by Minneapolis police .
The County Attorney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to hold Vechirko without charges before they had to release him , pending further investigation , County Attorney Mike Freeman said in a statement Tuesday .
“ Investigators are in the process of gathering additional information and answers to aid in the charging decision , ” the statement says .
Earlier Tuesday , a relative of Vechirko ’ s said the harrowing incident was unintentional .
Art Loghinov said he has spoken with Vechirko since Sunday ’ s near-deadly sequence of events and is convinced that the incident on the bridge was “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t have any intent to harm or do anything bad to anybody.
” People climbed atop the tanker as continued to move after plowing into protesters who had shut down the bridge . ]

State Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington said Monday that the driver was speeding and “panicked, and he just kept barreling forward” but did not breach any barriers put up to protect the protesters and was not aiming for anyone. On Tuesday, Harrington said he’d been talking with Freeman about potential charges. “We just want to make sure, even though no one was killed … we are certainly getting to the right charge that holds him accountable for the behaviors,” he said. Several protesters on the bridge, including Drew Valle, said the truck’s driver “wasn’t stopping. He was beeping loudly and driving into a crowd of people.” Minneapolis schoolteacher Doug Butler said that while “we perhaps cannot know his motives … he sped [and] hurtled into protesters.” Loghinov and others in the family commissioned a brief video that features Vechirko’s wife appealing for financial help on behalf of the couple.

I say disturbing not for the driver’s actions, but rather what is happening to him.
I am going to give my thoughts on this, and what I say is wholly subject to the revelation of further information, for as with many thing, the legal process of discovery can yield many surprising things.
As in many previous article I have noted, I have some experience in the trucking industry, not as a driver, but in dispatch and fleet management.
The first thing that anybody learns about trucking is that a truck in an 80,000 pound (when fully loaded with tractor and trailer) death machine racing at 65 miles per hour down a highway. Basic physics teaches that Force = Mass x Acceleration, and so the force of a truck- fully loaded or not -is a serious thing.
When it comes to comparisons, you are an ant and a truck is a human foot. You will be crushed mercilessly because of the nature of the machine. Likewise, trucks are difficult to stop, and even when moving slow, they are a serious force and should NEVER EVER be approached while in motion, and even with the utmost care in cases when one must approach them, accidents can and often do happen because of the dangerous nature of the trucking industry.
This driver was driving a fuel truck. In the industry, fuel truck drivers are nicknamed “suicide jockeys” because if you have an accident, it is likely a death sentence because you are carrying fuel. It is a high-paying but possibly the most dangerous of all trucking subdivisions, it requires a lot of skill, and one accident means the end of your life often.
When I heard that the driver attempted to drive away from the mob, after having guns pointed at him, I can say that he did the right thing. There is a serious chance he may have died, and his attempt to try and get away was both a natural reaction for survival as well as a noble and good thing, for knowing that he has a fuel truck, it would not be good if a literal bomb-on-wheels-going-down-the-road-at-65-miles-per-hour fell into their hands.
This driver was not “unsafe” or doing anything wrong, morally or legally, with his reaction. In fact, he was probably safer than how many would have reacted in what he did.
The fact that somebody got caught under his trucking wheel is his own fault. Only an idiot would put himself in a position to get seriously injured by a truck, and the fact that criminal behavior was involved makes it his own fault completely.
But what is most disgusting is that it appears that the local government is trying to make an example of him to prosecute him for his actions. This is insulting as it is insane because it ignores the reality that his life was in danger and that his actions were trying to save himself and prevent dangerous cargo from falling into the hands of evil people.
I can speak from experience that on I-10 and in the open highway areas south near the Mexican border, there are drug cartels who openly operate checkpoints that try to stop trucks and rob them. Those truck drivers are instructed many times to literally “barrel through” these fake checkpoints and ignore if anybody gets hurt or killed because the drivers will likely die if they stop. Likewise, speaking from experience and having worked for a year on the border dispatch between Mexico and the US, there is too often a pattern of trucks that transfer from Laredo (one of the major transit stations in the US that goes into Mexico) and if they do not disappear or the trailer comes back full of bullet holes, that the driver bringing it back to the US is new with a new cab because the previous driver was murdered by cartels in a highway robbery and the company is still trying to clean the remains of the poor previous driver out from the inside of the cab.
What is next? That the cartels will be protected by the courts when truck drivers go through them and a cartel member is killed, and instead the driver is prosecuted?
There will likely be more information that emerges on this case. However, based strictly on what I can ascertain from the current circumstances, and barring the revelation of information that would suggests an alternative motive or actions, that driver is not just a wise trucker, but a hero who is being abused as part of a sick game of power in which he is being treated as a sacrificial pawn.

Stating The Obvious: Psychology Research Says That Violent Protests For A Movement Make People Turn Against A Movement

People generally do not like violence because it is not enjoyable to be around .
Psypost.com recently noted that a new psychology study has found the obvious , which is that violent protests in favor of a particular movement tend to make people turn against the movement .
New research indicates that extreme protest tactics tend to undermine a movement ’ s popular support in the United States by alienating both neutral observers and supporters .
The findings have been published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology .
“ I ’ m interested in social change and progress @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strategies might be most effective at influencing popular opinion , ” said Matthew Feinberg , the corresponding author of the new study and an assistant professor of organizational behavior at the University of Toronto .
The researchers conducted six experiments with 3,399 participants in total , in which they assessed how different types of protest behaviors influenced support for a variety of progressive and conservative social causes , including the Black Lives Matter movement and the anti-abortion movement .
They found that more extreme behaviors — such as the use of inflammatory rhetoric @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consistently resulted in reduced support for social movements .
( source ) One has to think about this in light of the current riots taking place , which have a lot of evidence around them suggesting direct ties to various political groups and agent provocateurs .
One can surmise any number of theories as to why the current patterns of looting and violence has been clearly allowed to happen , but as this study notes , and common sense suggests , that the protests are creating a counter-reaction that is being instigated by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the essence of the Gladio project , and was used in Europe successfully- to promote left-wing terrorism orchestrated by right-wing groups in order to garner anti-communist support .
Given that right-wing groups have been confirmed posing as “ Antifa ” groups , one can see a similar historical parallel here .
There is a lot going on right now , but what can be said is that these protests have too many hallmarks of a “ action-reaction ” type approach .
Some sort of public manipulation is going on as we speak , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best thing to do is not to take a position , but to stay out of the whole matter , since it is larger than the matter at hand and more is often done by saying less .

shoebat--2020-06-04--Oil Well Begins Leaking “Uncontrollably” In Key Indian State

NDTV reports that an oil well has been leaking “ uncontrollably ” in they key Indian state of Assam .
Gas is “ uncontrollably ” flowing out of a natural gas producing well of Oil India Ltd ( OIL ) in Assam after a blowout eight days ago and the public sector undertaking on Thursday said an expert agency is monitoring the environmental impact of the leak .

Digging of the water reservoir near the plinth of the well is complete , an area for placement of pumps of 2,500 gallons capacity is underway along with arrangement for collection of the required quantity of water from the source , the release said .
The company has called a Singapore-based firm which is expected to reach the site shortly , it said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in progress at the well site .
A National Accreditation Board for Education and Training ( NABET ) accredited consultant , engaged by the company to carry out environment impact assessment study , has started work at the site , the release said .
The OIL has approached the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research ( CSIR ) , National Environmental Engineering Research Institute ( NEERI ) , Nagpur and the Wild Life Institute of India , Dehradun for conducting detailed impact assessment studies .
The company ’ s fire service unit is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jacketing the well to avert any eventuality , it said .
The presence of gas , air and water quality is being monitored at constant intervals at strategic points , besides picking up layers of condensate deposited near the site .

On May 29 , the Assam Forest Department had issued a notice to OIL after dead river dolphins and fish were found in a lake nearby Dibru Saikhowa National Park and it was reported that had died due to the blowout .

For those who may have heard of “Assam” type tea, this is where it comes from.
If one looks at Assam on a map, Assam is in a key area, for along with its western neighbor of Sikkim is a passageway to eastern India, which is for the most part rural and in many areas, as Shoebat.com has noted before, has a heavy Christian presence by way of British and American Baptist missionaries. Assam is the “heart” of eastern India, and for the region is the most populous and influential.
So what happened here? Nobody knows for sure so it seems. That is what appears to be so interesting.
Now there is no evidence to say what is exactly happening has to do with China. But it is a known fact that as Indian media has noted, eastern India is becoming a major center of Indian manufacturing that is directly rivaling China. This has been upcoming for several years quietly, but is starting to become a bigger issue with COVID-19, as it has spurned American support of India and a desire for companies to go elsewhere to manufacture their goods.
Remember when the COVID-19 crisis first started that Trump almost immediately went to India? This is the reason why- to prepare for a manufacturing shift to China. It is strictly political and related to the preparations for a major war in about ten years.
Therefore, it seems very odd that suddenly, an oil well catches fire and just seems as though it cannot stop burning.
Could we be seeing a Chinese geopolitical attack on India, albeit without saying so, because of the economic war that is going on?
This may be possible. It will also be interesting to see if China starts having problems in Yunnan, or India in Arunachal Pradesh, which are both in the south China/northeastern India region and border each other. –

That includes about 14% of adults who say they’ve cut down on the size of their meals or skipped them entirely because “there wasn’t enough money for food,” as well as 13% who report needing to visit a food bank or pantry for supplies. (source)

In April, AMC Theaters said a new debt offering would allow the company to withstand these closures until a partial reopening ahead of Thanksgiving.

In that filing, AMC released preliminary earnings results. The theater chain expects to have lost $2.1 billion to $2.4 billion in the first quarter ended March 31. It will release its earnings on Tuesday.

“We are generating effectively no revenue,” the company said in its filing.
As of April 30, the company said that it had a cash balance of $718.3 million.
Despite the announcement, AMC’s stock was trading higher Wednesday, recently up nearly 5%, likely the result of the company restructuring its debt, Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said.
“Even though the rate is much higher (12% vs. an average of around 6%), it provides liquidity and buys them some time,” he said.
AMC had previously sought to conserve cash by furloughing its in-theater employees, halting its operations through June and suspending its dividend payments and share repurchases. The company also has been working with landlords to defer rent payments and has cut the salaries of its corporate level employees.
However, as it seeks to reopen its theaters this summer, it has had to ramp up its cash spending. While AMC believes it has enough of a cash reserve to resume operations this summer, or perhaps a little later, its liquidity after that point remains in question. (source)

Often times , members of current or past military leadership do not actively criticize a sitting president .

In an extraordinary rebuke , former defense secretary Jim Mattis on Wednesday denounced President Donald Trump ’ s heavy-handed use of military force to quell protests near the White House and said his former boss was setting up a “ false conflict ” between the military and civilian society .

He said he never dreamed troops “ would be ordered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rights of their fellow citizens — much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief , with military leadership standing alongside.

Trump Pulls A Biden, Says That He Hopes George Floyd Is “Looking Down” At US Unemployment Numbers And Thinks ‘A Great Day For Him’

But there are many times stories that just can not be made up , and hence the saying “ truth is stranger than fiction ” .
Could it be the dementia that Biden has ?
One does not know .

Donald Trump has said he hopes George Floyd is “ looking down right now ” and saying the decline in US unemployment announced on Friday is a “ great thing that ’ s happening for our country ” .
The nation ’ s unemployment rate saw a surprise decline following the coronavirus pandemic but remains higher than during the Great Recession , prompting the president to state that a strong economy was central to improving racial tensions .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Mr Floyd , who was killed by police on Memorial Day after an officer forced his knee on the back of his neck for nearly nine minutes while facing the ground in handcuffs .
While discussing law enforcement , the president said : “ Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying , ‘ This is a great thing that ’ s happening for our country.
’ It ’ s a great day for him , it ’ s a great day for everybody .
It ’ s a great day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , great day.
” Asked how the rate of unemployment among black Americans can be considered a “ victory ” as it continues to increase , the president told White House reporter Yamiche Alcindor , “ You are something.
” A statement from Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh said that claims from the president that Mr Floyd would “ be praising the economic news are wrong , purposefully misrepresented , and maliciously crafted ” .

shoebat--2020-06-05--COVID-19 Cases In Texas, Arizona Show Significant Increases

Texas was one of the first states to push for “ re-opening ” after the COVID-19 crisis .
However , not surprisingly , after loosening safety requirements intended to limit the spread of the disease , COVID-19 infection rates have significantly increased .
Texas , Arizona and Oregon saw significant spikes last week in new coronavirus infections , while cases also continued to climb in a handful of states where steady increases have become the norm .
Why it matters : Nationwide , new cases have plateaued over the past week .
To get through this crisis and safely continue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we need them to go down — a lot .
Between the lines : Improved testing can cause the number of confirmed cases in a particular state to rise , even if that state ’ s outbreak isn ’ t getting that much worse .
At least in Texas , however , the spike in recorded cases does seem to reflect an actual increase in new infections — not just better testing .
Testing in Texas increased by 36 % over the past week , while the number of confirmed infections rose by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increase in the percentage of all coronavirus tests that came back positive .
In a state where testing is improving and the underlying outbreak isn ’ t getting worse , you ’ d expect the share of positive tests to go down .

Texas, Arizona and Oregon saw significant spikes last week in new coronavirus infections, while cases also continued to climb in a handful of states where steady increases have become the norm.
Why it matters: Nationwide, new cases have plateaued over the past week. To get through this crisis and safely continue getting back out into the world, we need them to go down — a lot.
Between the lines: Improved testing can cause the number of confirmed cases in a particular state to rise, even if that state’s outbreak isn’t getting that much worse.
At least in Texas, however, the spike in recorded cases does seem to reflect an actual increase in new infections — not just better testing.
Testing in Texas increased by 36% over the past week, while the number of confirmed infections rose by 51%.
Texas also saw an increase in the percentage of all coronavirus tests that came back positive. In a state where testing is improving and the underlying outbreak isn’t getting worse, you’d expect the share of positive tests to go down. (source)

shoebat--2020-06-05--Shoebat.com Visits And Observes “Black Lives Matter” Rally

There have been “ protests ” going on around the country that have been “ organized ” by the group “ Black Lives Matter ” over the “ death ” of George Floyd .
I put all of these things in quotes because the story that is presented versus the additional possibilities based on hard evidence and the observations of patterns do not correlate at all to what is being presented .
They are so divergent , collectively speaking , that it is almost akin to a man attempting to convince an astronaut that the moon really is made of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not add up , and Shoebat.com as well as many other websites with people of good will and of all races have made these observations .
However , last night I decided to take it up to another level by going in person to one of those “ Black Lives Matter ” rallies and seeing exactly what was happening .
I drove a while to the city of Chattanooga , a medium-sized American city and the fourth largest in Tennessee with a population ( whole county included ) just a little more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some time on the ground taking videos , which you can see below .
-Most of the protesters- I would estimate between 60 % to two-thirds- were not black at all , but white .
Hispanics made up about 10 % of those attending .
As such it was only about 25 % who were black in attendance .
-Chattanooga Police had them under strict observation and isolated to a specific area .
The police presence blocked off I would estimate about one-quarter to one-half of a miles most road access on all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ major roads for which access would be difficult to restrict , and those had traffic redirected around them .
-Police were both on the ground and in cars , and they kept the protests moving rather quickly for a large crowd .
Several times when the protests seemed to stop for a while , the cars would sound their sirens and the police would keep them moving .
-Most of the people protesting were between 20 and 40 , and there seemed to be a larger presence of women than men .
-Social @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than 20 to 25 % of people wore masks of some kind , and the breakdown .
Those who wore masks generally were the ones distancing themselves from people .
The racial breakdown of those who wore masks and distanced seemed to correlated with the above-noted general racial makeup of the crowd .
I saw very few police officers wearing masks , either in their cars or on the ground .
-There was no observable violence or property destrucion .
Only one arrest seems to have been made and that was of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of his building holding an AK-47 claiming he was preparing to protect his building from rioters .
-The police were friendly but appeared generally frustrated in a “ when-will-this-be-over-yet ” way .
In spite of some of the crowd chanting against cops , they generally did not care , but clearly had some opinions as evidenced by their expressions .
-The crowd marched down tenth street and then eventually dispersed , but police stayed for several hours after with the road blockades set up as before .
What I found most ironic about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I was observing this for myself , it should have been called “ white lives matter ” because the demographics were majority white .
It was rather stupid and pathetic to see such people carrying signs talking about “ white racism ” , going and “ taking a knee ” , and chanting about “ police abuse ” when it is very questionable how much “ abuse ” from police these people have ever experienced .
There were a few black people walking around with racist signs such as ‘ end whiteness ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one hardly needs to imagine if somebody even tried to say “ end blackness ” ) .
These protests were as pathetic as they are political .
They seem to be a gathering of the most detached persons within leftist political philosophies who , lacking common sense or respect for themselves and black people , are willing actors in an orchestrated “ strategy of tension ” that is only serving to annoy people and waste time and resources that need to be better spent elsewhere .
Racial tension is not good .
Shoebat.com @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left and political right do not care about the good will of either black or white , but are attempting to exploit division between the two for a conflict that they can control for their own gain in power .
It does not matter what one feels about the situation , for aside from evidence or feelings , there is little good that can come from any “ demonstrations ” , and the wisest move is to avoid the situation completely .
This is a song released by RWDS ( Right Wing Death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ War 2 ” .
This song is exactly the kind of tension that Shoebat.com has been warning about .
I put this up to remember that there are two sides- right and left -and both are evil and do not care about the good will of anybody , black or white or anything else .
This is a sick contest for power , and one must remember this because if one forgets it , one will be easily pulled into conflict .
This is a fight for which there is no good side @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not to play .

I put all of these things in quotes because the story that is presented versus the additional possibilities based on hard evidence and the observations of patterns do not correlate at all to what is being presented. They are so divergent, collectively speaking, that it is almost akin to a man attempting to convince an astronaut that the moon really is made of Swiss cheese. The facts simply do not add up, and Shoebat.com as well as many other websites with people of good will and of all races have made these observations.
However, last night I decided to take it up to another level by going in person to one of those “Black Lives Matter” rallies and seeing exactly what was happening.

-There was no observable violence or property destrucion. Only one arrest seems to have been made and that was of a man who was drunk and on top of his building holding an AK-47 claiming he was preparing to protect his building from rioters.
-The police were friendly but appeared generally frustrated in a “when-will-this-be-over-yet” way. In spite of some of the crowd chanting against cops, they generally did not care, but clearly had some opinions as evidenced by their expressions.

What I found most ironic about the whole protest movement what that if I was observing this for myself, it should have been called “white lives matter” because the demographics were majority white.

Every the George Floyd controversy exploded, there has been an intense eruption of hatred against Whites and lots of talk about why “Whiteness” is evil. This is only going to advance the fascist cause as neo-Nazis will use such rhetoric as a justification for their own racism, and if such fascists get their way we will have a true police state:

shoebat--2020-06-06--Twitter War Within Republican Party Escalates As Sen. Grassley Openly Calls Out Trump’s Actions

Politician fighting is normal , especially between different parties , but inter-party fighting is sometimes a sign of disunity and internal problems .
Such is what is happening right now with the Republican party as Sen. Chuck Grassley openly tweeted against President Trump and said he will not approve further Trump nominees until he receives answers about certain of Trump ’ s recent firings according to TheWeek.com On Thursday , Grassley announced his intention to “ place holds ” on approving Trump administration nominees until he receives satisfactory answers pertaining to the firings of two federal watchdogs , Intelligence Community @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Inspector General Steve Linick , CNBC reports .
Atkinson was removed in April after informing Congress about the whistleblower complaint regarding Trump ’ s communications with Ukraine that eventually led to his impeachment , while Linick was fired on May 15 on the recommendation of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo , who was reportedly under at least two investigations by Linick ’ s office at the time .
“ All I want is a reason 4 firing these ppl , ” Grassley , who USA Today describes as “ usually a staunch Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ CHECKS & BALANCES.
” “ Canning a watchdog without good reason is bad , ” Grassley added in a follow-up tweet .
“ Never even hiring one is outrageous.
” Trump , who is notoriously Very Online , has yet to respond .
( source ) One can not say that he is wrong .
Trump has done many things that are questionable and not good , including an administration that seems to be constantly changing people and has not made America great again , but rather into a chaotic mess .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ so likely is this , but expect as a trend for 2020 and beyond , especially following the election , to see the Republicans descend into chaos with a rising Democrat party , and with the passing of the older members , one that is stronger and move dangerous than before .
