newswars--2020-06-04--Officials Fear New COVID-19 Surge as Jails Swell After Riot Arrests Surpass 10,000

A new nationwide tally produced by the Associated Press finds protest arrests across America has topped 10,000 since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week .
Events quickly spiraled in many major American cities into rioting , looting , and general lawlessness as mobs of angry protesters took ever entire city blocks ; however , many demonstrations have remained peaceful — surprisingly such as protests in Flint , Michigan — notable given its recent history of tensions with local government over the water crisis .
Los Angeles has seen the most arrests nationwide , accounting for over a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in New York , with Dallas and Philadelphia to follow .
The bulk of arrests have been for low-level offenses like curfew violation or failure to disperse , while multiple hundreds have been detained for looting and burglary .
Another interesting finding is related to the ‘ outside agitators ’ theory pushed by some mayors and governors of various states , who have alleged most of the rioting and looting was carried out by people outside their states .
“ The AP found that in a 24-hour period last weekend , 41 of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city had a Minnesota driver ’ s license , ” The Hill summarizes of the figures.
” “ About 86 percent of the more than 400 people arrested in Washington , D.C. , as of Wednesday afternoon were from the District , Maryland or Virginia.
” Perhaps the most important statistics to come out of the week of protest mayhem , however , will be related to the coronavirus spread within the protesting throngs .
Over the weekend and at the start of the week US health officials warned of the protest risks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ risk is even more pronounced when factoring in the more than 5,600 demonstrators who have been arrested , according to The Associated Press .
Not only are jails crowded indoor spaces , but protesters sat in vehicles at close range for an extended period of time , which increases the risk for onward transmission of the virus , Osterholm explained .
The country went from observing months of strict lockdown , stay-at-home orders , and social distancing measures to witnessing tens of thousands squeezed into city streets – and often clashing in ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lines – pretty much overnight .
It ’ s expected a dreaded second wave could come out of this , especially given the current protest epicenters of New York , Minnesota and Los Angeles were already hard-hit places in terms of COVID-19 .

newswars--2020-06-04--Tsunami of Defaults, Evictions Looms on Horizon

Even as US stock markets rally and people anticipate a quick recovery as economies open up , a tsunami of defaults and evictions looms on the horizon .
The mainstream narrative has been that although the coronavirus shutdowns have rocked the economy , it ’ s not a financial crisis like we saw in 2008 .
Back in April , Peter Schiff said that we were absolutely heading toward a financial crisis and it will be worse than 2008 .
“ Obviously , if people aren ’ t earning as much money as they were when they were working , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not paying their loans .
So , the banks are not getting interest payments .
They ’ re getting defaults .
… When you have a credit bubble , when the economy is built on a foundation of debt , and then something happens to shake that foundation , you have a big problem.
” Up until this point , government intervention and leniency from lenders have put off the inevitable .
But struggling debtors can ’ t kick the can down the road forever .
According to the latest available numbers from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 15 million credit card accounts are in some kind of program to let people skip or make partial payments , and NPR contends this number is probably understated .
Meanwhile , homeowners are struggling to make mortgage payments .
According to the analytics company Black Knight , 4.75 million homeowners have entered into forbearance plans .
That represents about 9 % of all mortgages .
Banks and credit card companies can ’ t let people off the hook on payments forever .
Some smaller lenders are already hurting .
American Financial Services @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finance companies need a “ government conduit ” so they can borrow money themselves .
“ If we can ’ t keep the lights on because things have seized up , it ’ s not good for anybody .
It ’ s not good for the customer ; it ’ s not good for the company ; it ’ s not good for the economy.
” When the money-lenders need to borrow , that might be a problem .
July will be a key month .
That ’ s when the enhanced unemployment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things into full financial crisis mode .
Many of the 40-million-plus Americans who have lost their jobs over the last two months are only able to keep up with payments because of these benefits .
An affordable housing advocate told NPR an end to enhanced unemployment could put thousands of people out on the streets .
“ When the $ 600-a-week unemployment insurance runs out at the end of July , most people expect tremendous displacement risk .
Evictions are likely to go through the roof.
” Consumer debt was already surging before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even more debt to spur a recovery .
But Americans were driving the economy with borrowed money before coronavirus .
At the end of 2019 , total consumer debt stood at 19.3 % of nominal GDP .
This was the highest level ever .
Even before COVID-19 , we were asking how long the borrowing could keep going and warning that when it stopped , economic growth would likely stop along with it .
Now the powers-that-be are depending on more borrowing to save the economy .
People can only borrow so much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And a lot of people can ’ t even make payments on the debt they already have .
As Peter said , despite the mainstream narrative , we have the perfect storm for a financial meltdown on the horizon .
“ If you shut down the economy , how do all the people with debt pay their debt ?
And if the debt isn ’ t being paid , then by definition , you have a financial crisis .
That ’ s why the real estate crisis was a financial crisis .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ went down .
It ’ s because real estate prices going down meant loans that were collateralized by real estate weren ’ t getting repaid .
And to the extent that the banks had to foreclose , the collateral wasn ’ t there to make the banks whole .
The same thing is happening now .
The banks are even more exposed today than they were in 2008 .
This is an even bigger crisis now than it was in 2008 because we have a lot more debt .
We have a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Peter also noted that the Fed ’ s response is an indication that this is a worse financial crisis than 2008 .
“ The Fed is doing everything it did during the last financial crisis except way bigger and way sooner .
So , if they ’ re doing all the same stuff , only they ’ re having to do more of it , they ’ re having to do it at even greater excess , then what does that tell you ?
That tells you this is a financial crisis just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s bigger .
It ’ s a worse financial crisis.
” A lot of people still anticipate a quick recovery once governments open up their economies .
But that seems like wishful thinking given the levels of debt .
There could be a lot of pain ahead .

President Trump responded to a tweet suggesting Roger Stone would serve prison time by hinting at a pardon , stating that Stone “ can sleep well at night.

“ There are dozens of posts expressing hatred for Trump , which is her right as a citizen , but how did she get on a jury involving Trump ’ s longtime close friend ?
” Cernovich.com asked at the time .
“ How did a federal court judge ever allow a far left-wing activist to sit on a case where a close Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also sees an opening for a pardon in the wake of former acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein ’ s Wednesday congressional testimony over the origins of the Russiagate probe .
In short , Rosenstein told the Senate Judiciary he didn ’ t know the dossier at the center of Russiagate was paid for by the Democratic National Committee and that the Mueller investigation had proceeded without any evidence of criminal wrongdoing .
Rosenstein also threw his former colleague Andrew McCabe under the bus by stating he was “ not fully candid ” with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by former FBI Director James Comey .
As a reminder , Stone was charged with process crimes – offenses against the judicial process – stemming from the Russiagate probe , and now Rosenstein suggests the probe never should have occurred to begin with .

Black Lives Matter Melbourne has issued a list of required behavior from white people attending their protest , which includes no selfies and the demand that , “ If a black person tells you to do something , you do it immediately without question.

“ Ask to take pictures or videos of individuals .
You are there to witness only .
Film the police as much as possible .
Your goal is documentation to ensure that the true narrative is told.
” The guide also instructs white people to show deference and obedience to black people at all times .
“ FOLLOW DIRECTIONS .
If a black person tells you to do something , you do it immediately without question .
You respect the authority and decisions of the black protestors at all times.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lead chants and will be required to stay at the back of the protest until they are called forward , with the guide telling them , “ WHEN YOU ARE AT THE FRONT , YOU ARE SILENT.
” The no selfies rule is funny because it ’ s likely to keep many protesters at home given they won ’ t be able to properly virtue signal for the purposes of their Instagram page , which for some is the most important thing .

Arch lockdown advocate Piers Morgan responded to criticism over how he praised his own son for attending a Black Lives Matter protest by claiming “supermarkets are mass gatherings.”
“Proud of my son for attending the #BlackLivesMatter protest which he found profoundly inspiring,” tweeted the TV host. “He told me he maintained social distancing as best he could in the large crowd. Not easy given many others weren’t, but I’m glad he tried.”

What law did he break, Julia? Supermarkets are ‘mass gatherings’ – have you been to one lately?

Mentally deranged leftists are angry that toy maker Lego hasn’t acted woke enough after the company clarified that it had only withdrawn advertising for certain products associated with police and not the toys themselves, while others seriously argued that there are too many Lego police in Lego City.
Like many other companies, Lego attempted to glom on to the unrest as a way of virtue signalling. The company asked affiliates to stop all marketing of the Lego City playsets that included police officers, as well as first responders.
The Toy Book noted that an email from Lego requested “removal of product listings and features for more than 30 LEGO building sets, Minifigures, and accessories that include representation of police officers, firefighters, criminals, emergency vehicles, and buildings. Sets include the LEGO City Police Station, Fire Station, Police Dog Unit, Patrol Car, Fire Plane, Mobile Command Center, Police Highway Arrest, and many more. Even the LEGO City Donut Shop Opening set — which includes Police Officer “Duke DeTain” and “Crook” Minifigures — roleplay items including a Police Handcuffs & Badge Set, and the adult builder LEGO Creator version of The White House made the removal list.”
Lego then set about a “blackout” virtue signalling effort, as many other companies have:
But the company soon had to clarify that it wasn’t pulling any actual products from shelves, after confusion arose:
We’ve seen incorrect reports saying we’ve removed some LEGO sets from sale. To be clear, that is not the case and reports otherwise are false. Our intention was to temporarily pause digital advertising in response to events in the US. We hope this clears things up. ♥ — LEGO (@LEGO_Group) June 4, 2020
When hyperventilating leftists realised that the huge multinational company wasn’t actually removing any toys all hell broke loose:
Oh, well, never mind all the goodwill you had suddenly. https://t.co/8FsPKle0Uy — Peter (@Peter_Smyk) June 4, 2020
“What we’ve actually done is nothing! K thx!” https://t.co/TW8OR3kFY8 — sara “university should be free” birrell (@birlios) June 4, 2020
Stop selling the cop sets. That would have been the right move. — Late Mayor Ghouliani (@jamesmoore1278) June 4, 2020
I hate to think how much we have spent on LEGO for our kids, grandkids and others over the years. NO MORE. NONE — Chris (@HPpetition) June 4, 2020
Some rational people who just like Lego tried to inject some reason into the matter:
1/2 Why? I’m black and my husband is a cop. Our son looks up to his dad everyday and loves building/playingwith his LEGO police sets. We even built a nice police area in our LEGO City as a family to honor my husband who works extremely hard. I joined Twitter to — LEGO Layer (@TheLEGOLayer) June 4, 2020

Get woke. Go broke. — I Might Be Donna (@Crypsis12) June 4, 2020
Not good enough, Lego didn’t virtue signal hard enough:
I tweeted about LEGO possibly pulling their police themed sets and that was incorrect. Sorry about spreading false information. I am deleting that previous tweet. But also, hey @LEGO_Group maybe pull all your police themed sets! https://t.co/TK3AJ1Ob3y — Anita Sarkeesian (@anitasarkeesian) June 4, 2020

I came here to congratulate you on removing police Lego, now I am sad again. — Imperial News (@imperialnewz) June 4, 2020
Others argued that there are too many Lego cops in Lego city:
Shame. Lego City sets come with so many police that the Lego City has more police than civilians. Would be nice if Lego focused on other aspects of urban life. They’re generally a good, ethical company. It’s a shame they can’t see an avenue for action here. https://t.co/3VntX72mXR — Michael Bell 🐝 (@MBellLabCoop) June 4, 2020
How about decreasing the frankly huge number of police themed sets under the City banner in future years, replacing them with more medic based sets? Our doctors, nurses and first responders are heroes, and can promote positive play patterns among your young fans. Change it up. 🙏 — Scrounge (@Arm_of_Scrounge) June 4, 2020
Reality check: Lego City isn’t a real city.
If this is real then God help us:
I’m scheduled to be in LegoLand next week. I can’t get a refund on my accommodations, but don’t expect me to spend my usual 2-3k in your park/dining/shops. Y’all stink for this and I’m gonna make sure every Lego Citizen I see gets to hear about it. — Orange_Tabby (@ringo_usn) June 4, 2020
Then, inevitably…
Can you please make more brown LEGOs? When I got married, we had to go to three different LEGO stores and couldn’t find a brown face for our cake topper. I ended up having to use Storm instead. pic.twitter.com/Fg42PUFb75 — meow (@KittyCat2731) June 4, 2020
Maybe this is the way to go:
Police LEGO sets come with criminals so your kid can role-play as the criminal. Problem solved! — FreeVerse (@stanza12000) June 4, 2020
When can I purchase the “rioted democratic city” Lego kit? It would be pretty cool building fallout style destroyed cities. — 🔨Flatten the California 🔨 (@DaleW619) June 4, 2020
And never forget:


newswars--2020-06-05--Nutcase Maxine Waters Argues That The Term ‘Rioting’ Is Racist

In the wake of inner city looting and rioting across America , including destruction of people ’ s businesses and property , as well as violence against police and everyday Americans , Democratic rep. Maxine Waters has decreed that the use of the term ‘ rioting ’ is racist .
In an interview with The Cut , Waters seriously contended that the term “ rioting ” constitutes “ negative language used far too often in a description of black people by folks who fundamentally don ’ t see black people the same way they see whites and others.
” “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against black people , describing what whites often believe is true about us : that language includes ‘ lazy , ’ ‘ criminal , ’ and ‘ rioting , ’ ” Waters added .
Waters explained that she prefers to label the rioting as “ insurrection ” .
“ I said ‘ insurrection ’ .
People acting out of frustration and hopelessness and understanding that they don ’ t have an establishment — political or otherwise — that really cared about their ability to work or have good health care .
Yes , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Waters declares .
OK Maxine .
Lets take a look at some recent examples of such “ insurrection ” : Smacking old women around with planks of wood insurrection : Shooting in the head and running over police officers type insurrection : Don ’ t call it a riot , whatever you do… More fair enough insurrection against police here :

Defund the police — Brian Fallon (@brianefallon) June 4, 2020
Senator Ted Cruz hit back, comparing the tweet to “Mad Max at Thunderdome brought home to America”:

newswars--2020-06-05--Searching Twitter For “Racist” Returns Donald Trump As Top Result

For some strange reason , when one types the word “ racist ” into Twitter ’ s people search , Donald Trump is the top result – a discovery made days after Trump took action against biased social media platforms .
According to The Independent , Twitter search results are affected by the data they collect on you – including political leaning and your interests , however their search of the word in a private browsing session using Brave browser was the same on both iPhone and Android app .
Owen reveals the foresight of the late Booker T. Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to manipulate the black community .
Other users on the social media site have reported the same result .
It is not immediately clear why Twitter ’ s search algorithm promotes the result .
Other results in the “ People ” section when searching for the word “ racist ” include accounts who have mentioned the word in their display names , such as the “ Yes , You ’ re Racist ” account which raises awareness of racial issues .
–The Independent Twitter claims it ’ s unintentional – explaining that when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terms it can affect search recommendations .
While unclear how long this has been going on , the discovery comes just days after Trump signed an executive order which chips away at the “ liability shield ” contained within Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 , which protects neutral social media companies from being sued over content posted by their users .
Last week Rep. Matt Gaetz ( R-FL ) told Breitbart : A lot of people don ’ t see that Facebook and Twitter … you see Twitter disadvantaging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that are not enjoyed by your local newspaper or your local TV station , or Fox News , or CNN , or MSNBC .
They have special benefits under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act as digital platforms because they ’ re not creating content for which they should be liable .
They ’ re not making decisions about content , they ’ re simply saying come one , come all with your content .
And as a consequence of that , they ’ re getting a bunch of protections .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Valley has deemed themselves the arbiters of information .
After they were busted trying to help Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election – and were beside themselves after she lost , Google employeesdiscussed whether to bury conservative media outlets in the company ’ s search function after Donald Trump became president , according to the Daily Caller .
Communications obtained by TheDCNF show that internal Google discussions went beyond expressing remorse over Clinton ’ s loss to actually discussing ways Google could prevent Trump from winning again .
“ This was an election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sadly , had a hand in it , ” Google engineer Scott Byer wrote in a Nov. 9 , 2016 , post reviewed by TheDCNF .
Byer falsely labeled The Daily Caller and Breitbart as “ opinion blogs ” and urged his coworkers to reduce their visibility in search results .
“ How many times did you see the Election now card with items from opinion blogs ( Breitbart , Daily Caller ) elevated next to legitimate news organizations ?
That ’ s something that can and should be fixed , ” Byer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a responsibility to expose the quality and truthfulness of sources – because not doing so hides real information under loud noises , ” he continued .

A little bit of that would go a long way .
Let ’ s make sure that we reverse things in four years – demographics will be on our side.

newswars--2020-06-05--Most U.S. States Have ‘Reopened’ Their Economies, So Why Does Unemployment Continue To Spiral Out Of

Most U.S. States Have ‘Reopened’ Their Economies, So Why Does Unemployment Continue To Spiral Out Of Control?

This wasn ’ t supposed to happen .
Once states started to “ reopen ” their economies , the tsunami of unemployment was supposed to end .
But instead , we continue to see Americans lose jobs at a pace that is far beyond anything we have ever seen before in all of U.S. history .
All the way back in 1982 , there was a week when 695,000 Americans filed initial claims for unemployment benefits , and that all-time record was never broken until this year .
Of course we have seen monster number after monster number here in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last week another 1.877 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits… So even though more than 40 million Americans had already lost their jobs in 2020 , there were still enough people losing their jobs last week to surpass the old record from 1982 by more than a million .
Just think about that .
Overall , a grand total of 42.6 million Americans have now lost their jobs since the pandemic began , and that makes this the largest spike in unemployment in all of U.S. history by a very wide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report comes out on Friday , the official U.S. unemployment rate is expected to surpass 20 percent… By now , everyone pretty much understands that the official unemployment rate greatly understates the true level of unemployment in this country .
But even if we take it at face value , the unemployment rate is now far higher than it has been at any point since the Great Depression of the 1930s .
With tens of millions of Americans now out of work , a lot of people are now finding it extremely difficult @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes from an NPR article entitled “ Millions Of Americans Skip Payments As Tidal Wave Of Defaults And Evictions Looms ” … An “ economic recovery ” was supposed to have started by now , but that isn ’ t happening .
And now the horrifying riots that have erupted all over the nation are going to make things even worse .
Our urban areas contain countless numbers of small businesses , and economists are warning that all of this civil unrest will be “ a death blow ” for many of them… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the rioters are destroying are actually minority-owned businesses .
What we are watching unfold is truly a great national tragedy , and it isn ’ t going to end any time soon .
Needless to say , there are some big companies that are going to be severely tempted to give up on our core urban areas completely .
If there is a constant threat that your stores are going to be smashed , looted or set on fire , that doesn ’ t make for a profitable business environment .
For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Walmart may consider leaving the city of Chicago , and Mayor Lori Lightfoot is pleading with them to stay… Mayor Lightfoot said she was on a conference call with Walmart and other major retailers that had stores looted or heavily damaged during the unrest in Chicago .
She said she pleaded with them to not abandon Chicago .
“ I think in the case of Walmart , what they were focused on was assessing the damage .
They are doing an effort to donate fresh produce , to the extent of what ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perish , and other perishables , and they are talking their time , as I would expect.
” More violence is expected around the nation this weekend , and without a doubt all of this rioting is going to have a massive impact on the U.S. economy .
Meanwhile , more than 129,000 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 were reported around the globe during the 24 hour period that just ended , and that is the largest one day total that I have seen so far .
In other words , the coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from over .
Despite what the talking heads in the mainstream media are telling you , the truth is that the U.S. economy is going to continue to crumble .
We have already plunged into a new economic depression , and bankers are now warning companies that the flow of credit is about to get a lot tighter… There is so much fear in the air , and in such an environment financial institutions get very stingy with their money .
In the days ahead , it is going to become much more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money , and that is going to have very serious implications for our economic outlook .
Of course things are changing so rapidly that it has become virtually impossible to predict what U.S. economic numbers will look like in the months ahead .
So far in 2020 , we have already been hit by a major global pandemic , an economic depression , and the worst civil unrest in decades .
It has been “ one thing after another ” , and the truth is that this “ perfect storm ” is just @ @

This wasn’t supposed to happen. Once states started to “reopen” their economies, the tsunami of unemployment was supposed to end.
But instead, we continue to see Americans lose jobs at a pace that is far beyond anything we have ever seen before in all of U.S. history.
All the way back in 1982, there was a week when 695,000 Americans filed initial claims for unemployment benefits, and that all-time record was never broken until this year.
Of course we have seen monster number after monster number here in 2020, and we just learned that last week another 1.877 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits…
Filings for unemployment insurance claims totaled 1.877 million last week in a sign that the worst is over for the coronavirus-related jobs crisis but that the level of unemployment remains stubbornly high. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for 1.775 million new claims. The Labor Department’s total nevertheless represented a decline from the previous week’s upwardly revised total of 2.126 million.
So even though more than 40 million Americans had already lost their jobs in 2020, there were still enough people losing their jobs last week to surpass the old record from 1982 by more than a million.
Just think about that.
Overall, a grand total of 42.6 million Americans have now lost their jobs since the pandemic began, and that makes this the largest spike in unemployment in all of U.S. history by a very wide margin.
And when the monthly employment report comes out on Friday, the official U.S. unemployment rate is expected to surpass 20 percent…
The numbers came the day before the Labor Department releases its nonfarm payrolls report for May. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones are expecting a decline of 8.3 million and a 20.5% unemployment rate, more than double the highest previous level since the Great Depression.
By now, everyone pretty much understands that the official unemployment rate greatly understates the true level of unemployment in this country.
But even if we take it at face value, the unemployment rate is now far higher than it has been at any point since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
With tens of millions of Americans now out of work, a lot of people are now finding it extremely difficult to pay the bills. The following comes from an NPR article entitled “Millions Of Americans Skip Payments As Tidal Wave Of Defaults And Evictions Looms”…
Americans are skipping payments on mortgages, auto loans and other bills. Normally, that could mean massive foreclosures, evictions, cars repossessions and people’s credit getting destroyed. But much of that has been put on pause. Help from Congress and leniency from lenders have kept impending financial disaster at bay for millions of people. But that may not last for long.
An “economic recovery” was supposed to have started by now, but that isn’t happening.
And now the horrifying riots that have erupted all over the nation are going to make things even worse.
Our urban areas contain countless numbers of small businesses, and economists are warning that all of this civil unrest will be “a death blow” for many of them…
Some economists are predicting a death blow to small businesses that were already under unprecedented financial strain. If they weren’t ransacked, looted, and destroyed by hooligans, they will feel the macro effects of urban decline and flight, plummeting consumer confidence, falling property values, and worsening budgetary crises for state and local governments.
Sadly, a lot of the businesses that the rioters are destroying are actually minority-owned businesses.
What we are watching unfold is truly a great national tragedy, and it isn’t going to end any time soon.
Needless to say, there are some big companies that are going to be severely tempted to give up on our core urban areas completely. If there is a constant threat that your stores are going to be smashed, looted or set on fire, that doesn’t make for a profitable business environment.
For example, it is being reported that Walmart may consider leaving the city of Chicago, and Mayor Lori Lightfoot is pleading with them to stay…
Mayor Lightfoot said she was on a conference call with Walmart and other major retailers that had stores looted or heavily damaged during the unrest in Chicago. She said she pleaded with them to not abandon Chicago. “I think in the case of Walmart, what they were focused on was assessing the damage. They are doing an effort to donate fresh produce, to the extent of what’s left so it doesn’t perish, and other perishables, and they are talking their time, as I would expect.”
More violence is expected around the nation this weekend, and without a doubt all of this rioting is going to have a massive impact on the U.S. economy.
Meanwhile, more than 129,000 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 were reported around the globe during the 24 hour period that just ended, and that is the largest one day total that I have seen so far.
In other words, the coronavirus pandemic is a long, long way from over.
Despite what the talking heads in the mainstream media are telling you, the truth is that the U.S. economy is going to continue to crumble. We have already plunged into a new economic depression, and bankers are now warning companies that the flow of credit is about to get a lot tighter…
Bankers have a message for America’s debt-laden companies: raise money now, because things could get a lot worse. The gradual reopening of businesses after months-long shutdowns and a pick up in manufacturing activity have given investors reason for optimism in recent weeks. But underwriters who cater to heavily indebted corporations are offering their clients a bleak preview of what may lie ahead.
There is so much fear in the air, and in such an environment financial institutions get very stingy with their money.
In the days ahead, it is going to become much more difficult for just about everyone to borrow money, and that is going to have very serious implications for our economic outlook.
Of course things are changing so rapidly that it has become virtually impossible to predict what U.S. economic numbers will look like in the months ahead.
So far in 2020, we have already been hit by a major global pandemic, an economic depression, and the worst civil unrest in decades.
It has been “one thing after another”, and the truth is that this “perfect storm” is just getting started…

Liberal magazine Slate declares violence is ‘important’ for protests, does NOT get censored by Twitter

A week after censoring the official White House account over a phrase construed as “ glorifying violence , ” Twitter is doing nothing about a liberal publication actually doing so , pointing to the existence of a double standard .
“ Non-violence is an important tool for protests , but so is violence , ” says a tweet by Slate , a famously liberal outlet , posted early on Thursday to promote a podcast called ‘ What Next.
’ It ’ s a faithful description of the episode , which is titled “ A History of Violent Protest , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ change in America doesn ’ t happen without violence.
” The show ’ s guest is Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson , a professor at Wellesley College and author of the book ‘ Force and Freedom : Black Abolitionists and the Politics of Violence.
’ The podcast and the tweet come exactly a week after the initial peaceful protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis , Minnesota turned into looting and arson .
The entire US political spectrum came together in condemning the death of the African-American man , and the four @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charged , but the violence spread across the entire country anyway .
When President Donald Trump urged Minnesota authorities to restore order , Twitter hid one of his tweets , claiming that the phrase “ when the looting starts , the shooting starts ” amounted to “ glorification of violence.
” The platform doubled down the next day , censoring the official White House account that reposted the president ’ s message .
Slate ’ s tweet did not get the same treatment .
It did , however , get ratioed – with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so retweets and 150 likes – by Thursday afternoon , with most of the responses wondering why Twitter isn ’ t enforcing its own rules .
“ Can I get a ‘ glorifying violence ’ check on this , ” said one user , tagging Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey .
Another pointed out that Twitter had suspended a conservative commentator for “ suggesting people shoot rioters to defend themselves ” but Slate is “ openly encouraging and excusing violence.
” It is possible that Twitter may be subscribing to the definition of violence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pulitzer Prize-winning author with the New York Times ’ s ‘ 1619 Project.
’ “ Violence is when an agent of the state kneels on a man ’ s neck until all of the life is leached out of his body , ” Hannah-Jones told CBS News on Tuesday .
“ Destroying property , which can be replaced , is not violence .
To use the same language to describe those two things , I think is really not moral to do that.
” Hannah-Jones won a Pulitzer last month for an essay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were false from the start and that only the struggle of African-Americans redeemed them .
Her essay also claimed that American colonist rebelled against Britain to preserve slavery , which was grudgingly updated with a qualifier “ some ” after historians universally panned it as false .
Over the weekend , Twitter made its position on the unrest clear by changing the color of its logo to black and adding # BlackLivesMatter to its description .
Other social media companies have followed the same path .
Earlier this week , Snapchat decided it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saying that the president was “ inciting racial violence and injustice.
” Facebook has not yet censored Trump , but is under tremendous pressure from without and within to do so .

newswars--2020-06-05--REVEALED: Philadelphia Police Prioritize Rioters Over Neighborhood Watch

Philadelphia Police have been prioritising rioters over protecting citizens , with the police allegedly being told to stand down .
Philadelphia was one of the cities that was hit by Black Lives Matter protests and riots over this week , sparked off by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis by a police officer .
National File ’ s Patrick Howley spoke to Zach Rehl , the organiser of a Neighbourhood Watch Group in Philadelphia , who described the situation as being totally chaotic .
“ It ’ s really just been complete and utter chaos here , with rioting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of days , we expected it to taper off… it just got to the point where we had to… stop these people before they were coming for our homes , ” Rehl told Howley .
Owen and Tom Pappert react to the looting and rioting and the death of an innocent puppy who was a victim to the Memphis riots .
However , Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney and Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw denounced citizens that organised and armed themselves to protect their community from the rioters .
Mayor Kenney said that the city @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protection groups any longer : Last night a group of people in Fishtown took it upon themselves to make a show of protecting their neighbourhood .
They picked up baseball bats and in turn , exemplified the deep divides within our community .
Their actions were antagonistic and made a bad situation worse .
We do not condone vigilantism .
We understand the community ’ s desire to protect their neighbourhood , and if they want to do that in peace , we would allow it , regardless of their neighbourhood .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forward .
I ’ m glad the police moved in to eventually disperse the group , but I ’ m not happy about how long it took .
We tolerated it last night for too long , and that was a mistake .
Rehl noted that Kenney had issued a stand down order for the police , and had brought in the ironically named Commissioner Outlaw from Portland , where she was “ notorious , ” for telling police to stand down .
“ They ’ ve been told to stand down and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the city , and speaking to some of the cops that I know , they ’ re overwhelmed… and being told they basically can ’ t do their job , ” Rehl continued .

National File’s Patrick Howley spoke to Zach Rehl, the organiser of a Neighbourhood Watch Group in Philadelphia, who described the situation as being totally chaotic.

Owen and Tom Pappert react to the looting and rioting and the death of an innocent puppy who was a victim to the Memphis riots.
However, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney and Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw denounced citizens that organised and armed themselves to protect their community from the rioters.
Mayor Kenney said that the city would not “tolerate” the neighbourhood protection groups any longer:
Last night a group of people in Fishtown took it upon themselves to make a show of protecting their neighbourhood. They picked up baseball bats and in turn, exemplified the deep divides within our community. Their actions were antagonistic and made a bad situation worse. We do not condone vigilantism. We understand the community’s desire to protect their neighbourhood, and if they want to do that in peace, we would allow it, regardless of their neighbourhood. But armed vigilantism will not be tolerated moving forward. I’m glad the police moved in to eventually disperse the group, but I’m not happy about how long it took. We tolerated it last night for too long, and that was a mistake.
