“Philippe Sabatier, Boulogne-sur-Mer’s deputy public prosecutor, said a travel document being carried by Mr Hamdallah gave his age as 28,” reports the Independent, which chose not to carry this rather important detail in the headline of their story.
Over 4,000 migrants have arrived on the south coast of England illegally via boat so far in 2020, with many of them enjoying a de facto taxi service and taxpayer funded hotel accommodation while they wait for their asylum claims to be processed.
Given that the migrant’s death was one of the top stories across the western media, we expect the same outlets who reported his age inaccurately to push the narrative that “children” arriving illegally to the UK in boats need to be given asylum on compassionate grounds to devote the same attention to correcting their error.

newswars--2020-08-21--“White Flight Is Real”: Publicist Says Middle Class & Wealthy are Fleeing Los Angeles

“ When I first arrived in LA 40 years ago , the town smelled of orange blossoms .

” Veteran publicist Ed Lozzi says that the middle class and wealthy are fleeing Los Angeles , noting that whereas the town once smelled of orange blossoms , it now smells of urine .
Lozzi noted that coronavirus was just the final blow to a city already reeling as a result of its progressive attitude towards homelessness .
“ Hollywood has always been the wokest of the woke , so politicians have done nothing to stop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s not illegal and the weather ’ s nice , so they keep coming , ” he said , adding that , “ there is insufficient housing , inadequate mental health care .
Add in Covid and it ’ s a perfect storm.
” The economic impact of the COVID lockdown and the problems caused by open air homeless camps has made the downtown area unlivable for families , with many of them now desperately trying to sell their properties and escape to suburbia .
Rich celebrities like Joe Rogan and Elon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in recent times .
Producer Dana Brunetti , a business partner of Kevin Spacey , also recently acquired Italian citizenship to escape the prospect of more widespread riots .
The impact of allowing some 66,000 homeless people to roam the streets has also literally changed the smell of the city , according to Lozzi .
“ When I first arrived in LA 40 years ago , the town smelled of orange blossoms .
Now the streets stink of urine , ” he said .
“ There is a beautiful park in Westwood but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there are people slumped on the ground and you step on a carpet of needles.
” Danny O ’ Brien , the owner of Watford Moving & Storage , confirms Lozzi ’ s assertion about the mass exodus , arguing that “ liberal politics has destroyed this city.
” “ The homeless encampments are legal and there ’ s nothing the police can do .
White , affluent middle-class folk are getting out .
People don ’ t feel safe any more , ” said O ’ Brien .
He notes that August @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out .
“ People are getting out in droves .
Last week I moved a prominent person in the music industry from a $ 6.5 million mansion above Sunset Boulevard to Nashville , ” said O ’ Brien .
“ The sudden migration of elites and white people from Los Angeles is similar to what happened in America after the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s when white city dwellers fled to suburbia , ” reports Zero Hedge .
“ White/elite flight 2.0 is well underway and could last a couple @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the video below , for many of the same reasons , there is also an exodus out of New York , with over 400,000 people having left the city between March 1st and May 1st alone .

“When I first arrived in LA 40 years ago, the town smelled of orange blossoms. Now the streets stink of urine.”
Veteran publicist Ed Lozzi says that the middle class and wealthy are fleeing Los Angeles, noting that whereas the town once smelled of orange blossoms, it now smells of urine.
Lozzi noted that coronavirus was just the final blow to a city already reeling as a result of its progressive attitude towards homelessness.
“Hollywood has always been the wokest of the woke, so politicians have done nothing to stop people sleeping on the streets. It’s not illegal and the weather’s nice, so they keep coming,” he said, adding that, “there is insufficient housing, inadequate mental health care. Add in Covid and it’s a perfect storm.”
The economic impact of the COVID lockdown and the problems caused by open air homeless camps has made the downtown area unlivable for families, with many of them now desperately trying to sell their properties and escape to suburbia.
Rich celebrities like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk have also permanently left the city in recent times. Producer Dana Brunetti, a business partner of Kevin Spacey, also recently acquired Italian citizenship to escape the prospect of more widespread riots.
The impact of allowing some 66,000 homeless people to roam the streets has also literally changed the smell of the city, according to Lozzi.
“When I first arrived in LA 40 years ago, the town smelled of orange blossoms. Now the streets stink of urine,” he said.
“There is a beautiful park in Westwood but you can’t go there because there are people slumped on the ground and you step on a carpet of needles.”
Danny O’Brien, the owner of Watford Moving & Storage, confirms Lozzi’s assertion about the mass exodus, arguing that “liberal politics has destroyed this city.”
“The homeless encampments are legal and there’s nothing the police can do. White, affluent middle-class folk are getting out. People don’t feel safe any more,” said O’Brien.
He notes that August has already set records for people moving out.
“People are getting out in droves. Last week I moved a prominent person in the music industry from a $6.5 million mansion above Sunset Boulevard to Nashville,” said O’Brien.
“The sudden migration of elites and white people from Los Angeles is similar to what happened in America after the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s when white city dwellers fled to suburbia,” reports Zero Hedge.
“White/elite flight 2.0 is well underway and could last a couple of years.”
As we document in the video below, for many of the same reasons, there is also an exodus out of New York, with over 400,000 people having left the city between March 1st and May 1st alone.
The era of city living is coming to an end.

“We’ll have a national mandate to wear a mask,” he said.
Alex Jones is joined in-studio by Deanna Lorraine to break down the great mask debate and what the 2020 election will hold.
Biden linked wearing a mask to being patriotic.
Last week, Biden called for mask-wearing while Americans are “outside.”
“Let’s institute a mask mandate nationwide,” he said.
“Every single American should be wearing a mask when they are outside for the next three months at a minimum,” Biden said.
He did not specify any age group that may be exempt.
“Every governor should mandate mandatory mask wearing,” he continued, claiming that such a policy would save 40,000 lives.
Biden said such a rule has nothing to do with rights “but your responsibility as an American.”

“I Have A Right To Make Sure That My Home Is Secure”: Chicago Mayor Lightfoot Defends Ban On Protesters On Her Block

In the aftermath of the George Floyd killing , protests erupted across dozens of cities in California with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets , and despite the raging coronavirus pandemic they were cheered on loudly by the state ’ s liberal elite with some of the most prominent Hollywood actors taking daily turns to voice their support for the protesters while condemning anyone who did not side with the BLM movement , even when so frequently it devolved into violent rioting and looting of innocent bystanders .
All of that abruptly ended , however , when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rich.

But while such NIMBY hypocrisy has long been a fixture of the ultra-liberal Golden State , nothing compares to what just happened in Chicago whose Mayor Lori Lightfoot – best known for encouraging local BLM protests , going so far as saying that black lives are “ more important that downtown corporations ” after the unprecedented looting that took place last week – defended the Chicago Police Department ’ s ban on protesters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where she lives , telling reporters Thursday that she and her family at times require heightened security because of threats she receives daily .

Yes , Mayor Lori is all about BLM protests… as long as they are literally not in her back yard .
Lightfoot refused to elaborate on the specific threats according to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them daily against herself , her wife and her home .

Brown also cited instances where peaceful protests have been “hijacked” by agitators as reason for keeping demonstrators off Lightfoot’s block.

“ I just got banned from Delta for posting a picture , ” O ’ Neill tweeted on Thursday .

“ They can ’ t make you wear masks , ” he said on July 30 .

One of the critics that struck a nerve with O ’ Neill was New York Times deputy editor Dan Saltzstein , who replied to the ex-Seal on Twitter : “ You might just be ( a pu**y ) because you ’ re not willing to sacrifice and be a little uncomfortable for your fellow humans.

He had previously told the same story anonymously to Esquire magazine in 2012 , the year he retired from the Seals .

His tweet on Wednesday led to a firestorm of controversy. One of the critics that struck a nerve with O’Neill was New York Times deputy editor Dan Saltzstein, who replied to the ex-Seal on Twitter: “You might just be (a pu**y) because you’re not willing to sacrifice and be a little uncomfortable for your fellow humans.” O’Neill later said: “I’m not willing to sacrifice? Come get some, NYT.”
I’m not willing to sacrifice? Come get some, NYT. NYT Deputy Editor Claims SEAL Who Says He Killed Bin Laden Is ‘Not Willing To Sacrifice’ For ‘Fellow Humans’ – The Daily Caller https://t.co/FAm42SyAKt — Robert J. O’Neill (@mchooyah) August 20, 2020
Another former Seal, Carl Higbie, came to O’Neill’s defense: “This is why the New York Times is failing. Rob, I know you would take a bullet for me and vice versa anytime – something the NYT reporters know nothing about. Because you didn’t have a mask on? Show me data that says masks stop spread.”
This is why the @nytimes is failing. Rob, i know you would take a bullet for me and vice versa anytime. Something the NYT reporters know nothing about.
Because you didn’t have a mask on??? Show me data that says mask stop spread… https://t.co/eh1xOVajG6 https://t.co/Ru34nebn0W — Carl Higbie (@CarlHigbie) August 19, 2020
Saltzstein deleted his tweet, saying he had violated his own rule against name-calling.
I deleted a previous version of this tweet because I broke my own rule about name-calling. So let me try again: I honor O’Neill for his sacrifices to his country and his heroism. It’s sad that he can’t extend the same for the safety of his fellow passengers. pic.twitter.com/DxlUluIdX6 — Dan Saltzstein (@dansaltzstein) August 19, 2020
O’Neill told the Washington Post in a 2014 interview that he fired the shots that killed Bin Laden during the US raid on the Al-Qaeda leader’s compound in Pakistan in May 2011. He had previously told the same story anonymously to Esquire magazine in 2012, the year he retired from the Seals.
Another member of Seal Team Six, Matt Bissonnette, had claimed in a 2012 book that he fired the fatal shots. O’Neill later got his own book deal, writing ‘The Operator: Firing the Shots That Killed Osama Bin Laden,’ which was published in 2017.
Both men violated a Seals code of silence that typically precludes them from publicly talking about their missions.

The new trailer for Treyarch Studios’ “Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War” features Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov whose viral lecture on how the US is being subverted from within was banned from YouTube late last year for so-called “hate speech.”
The trailer was clearly a not-so-veiled reference to the destabilization occurring right now in the US:
The Democrats have found a useful weapon in Covid-19 as a bulwark to crush American liberties.
Some memesters just edited footage of the Floyd riots in and reuploaded it as “Black Ops: Civil War”:
Treyarch’s trailer is pretty interesting considering Infinity Ward, which runs Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, went full SJW during the whole BLM hysteria.
I would assume they’re just playing both sides but it’s still notable such a trailer got released in this climate.
It’ll be interesting to see if the game is as good as the trailer but I’m pretty skeptical as both Treyarch’s Black Ops 4 and Infinity Ward’s Warzone were quite bad.


newswars--2020-08-21--FLASHBACK: Netflix Show Featured 10-Year-Old Trans Kid as a ‘Top’ in Explicitly Sexual Terms

Netflix ’ s new French film ‘ Cuties ’ has been subject of much controversy on social media , as it features a plot involving preteen girls twerking on camera , with more problematic revelations surrounding Netflix ’ s positions on the sexualization of children coming to the fore .
Cuties features a dancing troupe of pre-pubescent girls twerking as they come of age .

newswars--2020-08-21--2020 Is An Economic Nightmare – And Things Just Got Even Worse

More than a million Americans were not supposed to be losing their jobs every week by the time we got to the middle of August .
By now , vast hordes of unemployed Americans were supposed to be returning to their old jobs and economic activity was supposed to be returning to normal levels .
But it hasn ’ t happened that way .
Instead , the U.S. economy continues to unravel at a steady pace .
Every week more businesses go under , more layoffs are announced and more people get behind on their bills .
What we have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than anything that we experienced during the last recession , and it appears that this new economic downturn is entering yet another new phase .
On Thursday , we learned that another 1.106 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week… Instead of going down as most analysts were anticipating , the number of initial claims shot way back above a million .
And this means that we have now gotten a number that is above a million for 21 of the last 22 weeks .
Prior to 2020 , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history was 695,000 .
To absolutely dwarf that old record for 22 weeks in a row should be almost theoretically impossible .
If you would have asked me last year what it would take to have the kind of unemployment numbers that we are seeing now , I would have probably suggested that it would take something like a world war or a major asteroid strike to produce such figures .
The numbers that we keep getting week after week are simply absurd , but they just keep coming .
After all this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for unemployment should be falling back below record levels , but instead last week we got a number that was more than twice as high as anything that we witnessed during the last recession… It would be difficult to overstate the scale of the economic devastation that we are witnessing .
Do you remember Hurricane Katrina ?
It was the worst natural disaster in the history of Louisiana , but in 2020 the state has lost twice as many jobs as it did after Hurricane Katrina .
Just think about how crazy that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have filed new claims for unemployment benefits over the past 22 weeks .
We ’ ve never seen anything like this in our history .
For a while , our unemployed workers were being kept afloat by a 600 dollar a week federal supplement , but now those extra benefits have expired… President Trump has signed an executive order that would provide payments of 300 dollars a week to unemployed workers , but many states have chosen not to participate in that program .
So we should expect the level of economic suffering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more .
At this point , tens of millions of Americans are unable to pay their bills , and that number will almost certainly increase in the months ahead .
Meanwhile , we are seeing businesses fail at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented .
For example , the hotel industry is warning that close to a quarter of all hotels in the United States “ are at risk of foreclosure ” … The hotel industry wants a federal bailout , but of course just about every other major industry wants one as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is going to decide where the money goes , and not everyone will come out a winner .
The overall global economy is deeply struggling as well .
In fact , the level of merchandise trade around the world just fell to the lowest level on record… This is what an economic collapse looks like , and the entire planet is being hit extremely hard .
But at least the U.S. stock market is doing well .
Stock prices have been absolutely soaring in recent weeks , and according to Forbes the market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” … So for the moment , America ’ s financial idol is safe .
Unfortunately , this stock market bubble is going to be a whole lot shorter than the last one .
Thanks to unprecedented intervention by the Federal Reserve , stock prices have been pumped up to record levels , but we are only in the early chapters of this economic storm .
Much worse is coming , and without a doubt the Fed will try to keep asset prices inflated , but in the end it will be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hit by one crisis after another , eventually investors are going to figure out that the future ahead of us is not a positive one , and when confidence about the future disappears so will the bubble .

More than a million Americans were not supposed to be losing their jobs every week by the time we got to the middle of August.
By now, vast hordes of unemployed Americans were supposed to be returning to their old jobs and economic activity was supposed to be returning to normal levels.
But it hasn’t happened that way. Instead, the U.S. economy continues to unravel at a steady pace.
Every week more businesses go under, more layoffs are announced and more people get behind on their bills.
People are fleeing in droves.
What we have already been through has been far worse than anything that we experienced during the last recession, and it appears that this new economic downturn is entering yet another new phase.
On Thursday, we learned that another 1.106 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week…
The number of people filing for unemployment benefits last week was greater than expected, raising concern about the state of the economy as lawmakers struggle to move forward on a new pandemic stimulus package. The Labor Department said Thursday that initial jobless claims for the week ended Aug. 15 came in at 1.106 million. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected a total of 923,000. Initial claims for the previous week were also revised higher by 8,000 to 971,000.
Instead of going down as most analysts were anticipating, the number of initial claims shot way back above a million.
And this means that we have now gotten a number that is above a million for 21 of the last 22 weeks.
Prior to 2020, the worst weekly number in all of U.S. history was 695,000. To absolutely dwarf that old record for 22 weeks in a row should be almost theoretically impossible. If you would have asked me last year what it would take to have the kind of unemployment numbers that we are seeing now, I would have probably suggested that it would take something like a world war or a major asteroid strike to produce such figures. The numbers that we keep getting week after week are simply absurd, but they just keep coming.
After all this time, the number of Americans filing for unemployment should be falling back below record levels, but instead last week we got a number that was more than twice as high as anything that we witnessed during the last recession…
“However, the number of individuals claiming benefits remains extraordinarily high – more than twice the peak of the great recession – underscoring that the labor market is a long way from being healthy,” economist Nancy Vanden Houten wrote in a note to clients.
It would be difficult to overstate the scale of the economic devastation that we are witnessing.
Do you remember Hurricane Katrina? It was the worst natural disaster in the history of Louisiana, but in 2020 the state has lost twice as many jobs as it did after Hurricane Katrina.
Just think about how crazy that is.
Overall, 57.3 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits over the past 22 weeks.
57 million.
We’ve never seen anything like this in our history. For a while, our unemployed workers were being kept afloat by a 600 dollar a week federal supplement, but now those extra benefits have expired…
Those recipients who are receiving unemployment on an ongoing basis are now getting far less aid because a $600-a-week federal benefit has expired, which means the unemployed must now get by solely on much smaller aid from their states. The loss of the federal benefit has deepened the struggles for many, including a higher risk of eviction from their homes.
President Trump has signed an executive order that would provide payments of 300 dollars a week to unemployed workers, but many states have chosen not to participate in that program.
So we should expect the level of economic suffering in this country to go up even more. At this point, tens of millions of Americans are unable to pay their bills, and that number will almost certainly increase in the months ahead.
Meanwhile, we are seeing businesses fail at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented. For example, the hotel industry is warning that close to a quarter of all hotels in the United States “are at risk of foreclosure”…
In a desperate plea for help, the hotel industry said it faces a default disaster, in which 25% of hotels are at risk of foreclosure. The report, sent to Congress this week and compiled by Trepp, shows that the percentage of hotel loans 30 or more days delinquent is 23.4% as of last month — the highest percentage on record. By comparison, the percentage of hotel loans that were 30 or more days delinquent at the end of 2019 was just 1.3%.
The hotel industry wants a federal bailout, but of course just about every other major industry wants one as well.
In the end, Congress is going to decide where the money goes, and not everyone will come out a winner.
The overall global economy is deeply struggling as well. In fact, the level of merchandise trade around the world just fell to the lowest level on record…
“This reading – the lowest on record in data going back to 2007, and on par with the nadir of the 2008-09 financial crisis – is broadly consistent with WTO statistics issued in June, which estimated an 18.5% decline in merchandise trade in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to the same period last year,” the WTO said.
This is what an economic collapse looks like, and the entire planet is being hit extremely hard.
But at least the U.S. stock market is doing well. Stock prices have been absolutely soaring in recent weeks, and according to Forbes the market is now “about 77.0% overvalued”…
According to the popular market cap to GDP ratio, the U.S. stock market, collectively, is about 77.0% overvalued. Despite the worst economic backdrop since the Great Depression, stocks have held up reasonably well since the March 23 bottom. While it’s true that the stock market has disconnected from the underlying economy, it has also done so in the past. With such an extreme level of overvaluation, it does beg the question, “Are we witnessing the formation of another bubble?”
So for the moment, America’s financial idol is safe.
Unfortunately, this stock market bubble is going to be a whole lot shorter than the last one.
Thanks to unprecedented intervention by the Federal Reserve, stock prices have been pumped up to record levels, but we are only in the early chapters of this economic storm.
Much worse is coming, and without a doubt the Fed will try to keep asset prices inflated, but in the end it will be a losing battle.
As we keep getting hit by one crisis after another, eventually investors are going to figure out that the future ahead of us is not a positive one, and when confidence about the future disappears so will the bubble.

Former hedge fund manager and entrepreneur James Altucher says New York City is dead and it ’ s not coming back .
Born and bred in New York , Altucher took his family and fled to Florida after the Black Lives Matter riots in June when someone tried to break into his apartment .
Since then , the city has continued to suffer a huge surge in shootings and violent crime as well as an anemic financial recovery from the coronavirus lockdown .
Appearing on Fox News Business , Altucher referred to images that were broadcast during the interview showing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ We have something like 30 to 50 per cent of the restaurants in New York City are probably already out of business and they ’ re not coming back , ” he pointed out .
Altucher said that despite offices in midtown being allowed to be open , they ’ re still largely empty because companies like Citigroup , JP Morgan , Google , Twitter and Facebook are encouraging their employees to work remotely from home “ for years or maybe permanently.
” “ This completely damages not only the economic eco-system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your tax base when all of your workers can now live anywhere they want to in the country ?
” asked the entrepreneur , noting that many were fleeing to places that are cheaper to live like Nashville , Austin , Miami and Denver .
Warning that the situation was “ only going to get worse , ” Altucher said that the old New York was not coming back and that creative and business opportunities would now be dispersed throughout the entire country .
“ What makes this different now is bandwidth is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2008 so people can work remotely now and have an increase in productivity , ” he added .
As we document in the video below , the blame for all this lies firmly at the feet of two people , Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio .

Since then, the city has continued to suffer a huge surge in shootings and violent crime as well as an anemic financial recovery from the coronavirus lockdown.
Appearing on Fox News Business, Altucher referred to images that were broadcast during the interview showing 6th avenue to be virtually empty.
“We have something like 30 to 50 per cent of the restaurants in New York City are probably already out of business and they’re not coming back,” he pointed out.
Altucher said that despite offices in midtown being allowed to be open, they’re still largely empty because companies like Citigroup, JP Morgan, Google, Twitter and Facebook are encouraging their employees to work remotely from home “for years or maybe permanently.”
“This completely damages not only the economic eco-system of New York City…but what happens to your tax base when all of your workers can now live anywhere they want to in the country?” asked the entrepreneur, noting that many were fleeing to places that are cheaper to live like Nashville, Austin, Miami and Denver.
Warning that the situation was “only going to get worse,” Altucher said that the old New York was not coming back and that creative and business opportunities would now be dispersed throughout the entire country.
“What makes this different now is bandwidth is ten times faster than it was in 2008 so people can work remotely now and have an increase in productivity,” he added.

A viral video features a little girl ripping off her face mask in disgust, a sentiment likely shared by many Americans amid the COVID-19 mandates.
In the short, but powerful video, the girl no older than 3-years-old removes her mask with an angry expression on her face, before furiously tossing it on the grass.
This girl has had enough of the mask wearing pic.twitter.com/YAWu86Zgiw — 🎗thabig68🎗🇵🇸 (@thabig68) August 21, 2020
The toddler’s reaction is illustrative of how humans of any age instinctively know face masks are bogus.
“This girl has had enough of the mask wearing,” a caption on a Twitter upload of the video states.
Meanwhile, as more Americans continue to follow mask mandates without question, several jurisdictions are adopting even more stringent face mask measures, with the most Orwellian coming out of Maine, where the governor has mandated restaurant staff wear “anti-COVID visors upside down so they resemble dog cones in order to direct breath upwards,” reports Paul Joseph Watson.
Reality is beyond what BabylonBee could imagine— Maine gov mandates “cone of shame” for restaurants. Medical doctor says masks are handcuffs and will become literal handcuffs.
