newswars--2020-05-05--No Vitamin D Allowed: Helicopters Patrolling California Beach Order People to ‘Remain Clear’

Viral video shared on social media shows a helicopter patrolling Huntington Beach , California ordering citizens to “ remain clear of the beaches and boardwalk ” in compliance with Governor Gavin Newsom ’ s shutdown orders .
Governor Newsom last week ordered beaches closed after the media released deceptive photos taken with telephoto lenses making the beaches looked packed to the brim which triggered hysteria on social media : When reporter Millie Weaver asked protesters about the proponents of the Stay-At-Home order wanting to remain quarantined the consensus amongst opponents was that those who want to stay home should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go back to work or support the economy should be allowed to .
Newsom ’ s order appears to have backfired as large protests were held against his beach closures : A new study found “ significant relationships ” between low vitamin D levels and increased coronavirus deaths and prior studies have found healthy vitamin D levels are linked to reduced risk of respiratory infections so ordering everyone to stay cooped up in their homes may actually be putting lives at risk .
“ Newport Beach voted Saturday to support legal action filed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dana Point to reopen Orange County beaches after Gov .
Gavin Newsom ordered a countywide shutdown of shores Thursday , ” KTLA reported .

Governor Newsom last week ordered beaches closed after the media released deceptive photos taken with telephoto lenses making the beaches looked packed to the brim which triggered hysteria on social media:

By contrast, see the lead photo used by the @latimes for this story. In both photos, there are a lot of people on the beach, but the telephoto lens makes it seem like they are on top of each other when they are not. https://t.co/RXtqCBu4A8 — Nate Storring (@natestorring) April 30, 2020
When reporter Millie Weaver asked protesters about the proponents of the Stay-At-Home order wanting to remain quarantined the consensus amongst opponents was that those who want to stay home should be free to and those who want to go back to work or support the economy should be allowed to.

newswars--2020-05-05--Communities Rally Behind Farmers & Ranchers Amid Food Shortage Scare

Local communities are flocking to local farms and butchers to help ease problems with the supply chain , and because supermarkets are limiting how much meat customers can purchase .
As grocery stores like Kroger , Costco and Giant Eagle or fast-food restaurants like Wendy ’ s begin rationing meat and meat processing plants across the country shut down due to coronavirus , citizens are rapidly seeing rumors of a meat shortage become reality .
Infowars reported on Congressman Thomas Massie ( R-KY ) warning of serious food shortages back on April 13 .
Then , last week , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ video warning the US beef supply will plummet if ranches start culling harvest-ready cattle due to shut-down processing plants not taking livestock .
“ They are preparing us to depopulate the fat cattle ready to harvest because of a bottleneck created by the effects of Covid , ” the rancher from Archer Co. , Texas , warned .
“ …We are in trouble .
Our food supply is in trouble.
” An April 29th press release from the United Food and Commercial Workers ( UFCW ) International Union said , “ At least @ @ @ @ @ @ @ past two months , resulting in a 25 % reduction in pork slaughter capacity and 10 percent reduction in beef slaughter capacity.
” With some of the nation ’ s largest meat processing plants closing due to coronavirus outbreaks , President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act last week , compelling plants to stay open .
In response to this impending crisis , Americans are already helping farmers and ranchers by skipping the big chains and going directly to the source .
For example , the Whoa Nellie Dairy Farm in Fayette County @ @ @ @ @ @ @ milk instead of dumping it out and sold out of 30 gallons within hours .
“ My husband and I just came up with that mission to try to bottle it all .
Even though we knew we had a tiny pasteurizing system , we just thought we ’ d make it a mission to get it all bottled without dumping any , ” said owner Mary Beth Brown .
A similar line of cars was seen in Moses Lake , Washington where potato farmers were donating produce originally grown for restaurants .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Ritzville , Washington where potato farmers donated excess spuds .
An Ohio butcher shop reports an increase in new customers as grocery store supplies become more limited because butchers don ’ t use the same suppliers .
Congressman Thomas Massie , the same one who warned of shortages a month before they hit , has introduced the PRIME Act in an attempt to prevent America from wasting its meat supply .
“ Thousands of animals will be killed & wasted today instead of feeding families .
Meanwhile , Congress takes an extended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Farmers are going broke and shelves are going empty .
Instead of just granting immunity from ( American ! )
employee lawsuits to foreign-owned companies , why not put America first ?
” Massie ’ s act allows states to allow intrastate distribution of meat without USDA approval .
Because it ’ s difficult to receive USDA approval amid the coronavirus pandemic and ongoing meat supply chain issues , the act would increase the meat supply and a considerable amount , thus reducing costs for consumers .

The co-founder of POLITICO condemned any investigation into Tara Reade ’ s sex assault allegations against Joe Biden because he fears that would sink his chances of winning against President Trump in the election .

An Odessa protestor speaks out about a recent Reopen Texas Rally, which ended with a local sheriff bringing in a tank and SWAT team to hold citizens at gunpoint.
The police arrested a group of armed demonstrators and a bar owner during the protest of Texas’ order mandating businesses to close.
A Midland, Texas flower shop owner talked with Infowars reporter Savanah Hernandez and provided footage of the SWAT team arresting the owner of the bar and a patron who questioned the police.
“We can go to a restaurant now and spend all day at the restaurant drinking, but you can’t go to a bar and have a drink,” she explained. “You can go to Walmart and the big box stores and the grocery stores and everything, and nobody can apparently catch the coronavirus there, but if you open up your gym or your salon or your small business, then all of a sudden you’re putting lives in danger.”

newswars--2020-05-05--Study Looks at Electrical Activity in Atmosphere to Better Understand Epilepsy, Parkinson’s

Most electrical activity in vertebrates and invertebrates occurs at extremely low frequencies , and the origin — and medical potential — of these frequencies have eluded scientists .
Now a Tel Aviv University study provides evidence for a direct link between electrical fields in the atmosphere and those found in living organisms , including humans .
The study ’ s findings may change established notions about electrical activity in living organisms , paving the way for revolutionary , new medical treatments .
Illnesses such as epilepsy and Parkinson ’ s are related to abnormalities in the electrical activity of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ electrical activity in many living organisms — from zooplankton in the oceans , to sharks and even in our brains — is very similar to the electrical fields we measure and study in the atmosphere from global lightning activity , ” explains Prof. Colin Price of TAU ’ s Porter School of the Environment and Earth Sciences , who led the research for the study , published in the International Journal of Biometeorology on February 8 .
Colleagues from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Alaska also contributed to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evolutionary timescales living organisms adapted and evolved to actually use the electricity in the environment — global lightning , ” Prof. Price continues .
“ This has likely not changed over billions of years and is similar to the evolution of our eyes , which evolved using the sunlight nature gave us.
” As living organisms evolved over billions of years , the natural electromagnetic resonant frequencies in the atmosphere , continuously generated by global lightning activity , provided the background electric fields for the development of cellular electrical activity .
Prof. Price @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some animals , the electrical spectrum is difficult to differentiate from the background atmospheric electric field produced by lightning .

Most electrical activity in vertebrates and invertebrates occurs at extremely low frequencies, and the origin — and medical potential — of these frequencies have eluded scientists.
Now a Tel Aviv University study provides evidence for a direct link between electrical fields in the atmosphere and those found in living organisms, including humans.
The study’s findings may change established notions about electrical activity in living organisms, paving the way for revolutionary, new medical treatments. Illnesses such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s are related to abnormalities in the electrical activity of the body.
“We show that the electrical activity in many living organisms — from zooplankton in the oceans, to sharks and even in our brains — is very similar to the electrical fields we measure and study in the atmosphere from global lightning activity,” explains Prof. Colin Price of TAU’s Porter School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, who led the research for the study, published in the International Journal of Biometeorology on February 8.
Colleagues from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Alaska also contributed to the study.
“We hypothesize that over evolutionary timescales living organisms adapted and evolved to actually use the electricity in the environment — global lightning,” Prof. Price continues. “This has likely not changed over billions of years and is similar to the evolution of our eyes, which evolved using the sunlight nature gave us.”
As living organisms evolved over billions of years, the natural electromagnetic resonant frequencies in the atmosphere, continuously generated by global lightning activity, provided the background electric fields for the development of cellular electrical activity. Prof. Price’s research found that, in some animals, the electrical spectrum is difficult to differentiate from the background atmospheric electric field produced by lightning.
“Neither biologists nor doctors can explain why the frequencies in living organisms (0-50 Hz) are similar to those in the atmosphere caused by lightning,” adds Prof. Price. “Most of them are not even aware of the similarity we presented in our paper.”
“Our review of previous studies revealed that lightning-related fields may have positive medical applications related to our biological clock (circadian rhythms), spinal cord injuries and maybe other bodily functions related to electrical activity in our bodies,” says Prof. Price. “The connection between the ever-present electromagnetic fields, between lightning in the atmosphere and human health, may have huge implications in the future for various treatments related to electrical abnormalities in our bodies.”
The study comprised a retrospective review of previous studies on the link between lightning-related fields in the atmosphere and human and animal health. “We collected many different studies over the years to build a clear picture of this link,” concludes Prof. Price. “Going forward, we need to design new experiments to see how these extremely low frequency fields from lightning may impact living organisms, and to investigate how these fields can be used to benefit us.

Two Virginia police officers contracted coronavirus after arresting an infected illegal alien who was later released back into the community.
Three officers in Culpeper, Virginia, responded to a domestic disturbance, where they encountered a twice-deported illegal alien who had allegedly assaulted his girlfriend and was later found to be carrying coronavirus.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was notified about the suspect’s legal status, however, ICE agents did not take him into custody as they normally would.
“ICE did not come get him, and I think for obvious reasons,” Culpeper Police Maj. Chris Settle told Fox5. “I think because he had COVID-19.”
Shortly after, two of the officers who had participated in the suspect’s arrest also tested positive for coronavirus.
The third officer involved is now in quarantine.
“Settle said police were not notified of the suspect’s bond hearing and at the hearing, he was released on bond back into the community,” Fox5 reports. “Police have not released his name or mugshot to retain his medical privacy.”
Settle says local residents have expressed their outrage and dismay that the suspect was freed and his identity protected.
“We totally understand that, we totally get it,” he said. “But again it is a medical privacy issue and does create a liability.”
The suspect’s current whereabouts are reportedly unknown.
Western intel agencies have now confirmed COVID-19 is a Chinese bioweapon.

In the video, a woman carrying a “1776” flag and carrying an “Open Kali” sign dares to venture out onto the surf before two police officers approach her, grabbing her by the arms in attempts to arrest her.
The woman is next seen kneeling on the beach arguing with police who’ve taken her flag, as protesters filming begin yelling at the cops and invading the beach.
As the cops appear to stand down while conversing with other protesters, more people begin walking past the officers towards the beach.
“The breach has been opened!” one man yells.
Later, the woman who was initially approached by officers evades them and reveals a swimsuit before jumping into the ocean and urging others to do the same.
“That’s the girl right there,” the man filming says.

First, Gen Z were eating Tide Pods. Now they’ve resorted to literally pissing their pants on social media to stay amused during the coronavirus lockdowns.
Yes, really.
Bored and isolated zoomers launched the #peeyourpantschallenge, which has garnered nearly 4 million views on Tik Tok, as the coronavirus lockdowns continue to drag on in America.
The revolting social media challenge began after 19-year-old “comedian” Liam Weyer announced the hashtag before micturating himself on camera in April.
“I am surprised to see that people on the internet will pee themselves if you call it a challenge and add a hashtag,” he told The Insider over the weekend, adding that he did the stunt as a “parody.”
“I am definitely surprised that the challenge actually became a trend. I created the challenge as a parody of the other challenges that have gone viral on the internet in an attempt to show how pointless they are,” he said.
Ok, zoomer.
Thankfully, many on Twitter had the common sense to recognize how stupid and disgusting this latest social media campaign is.

newswars--2020-05-05--Banning the conspiracist David Icke is WRONG & actually strengthens his case that we’re sleepwalking

Banning the conspiracist David Icke is WRONG & actually strengthens his case that we’re sleepwalking towards DICTATORSHIP

The banning of the former TV presenter from Facebook and YouTube is an assault on free speech and free expression which needs to be forcefully resisted , whatever your views are on Icke ’ s theories on world governance .
I ’ m old enough to remember when David Icke was a television sports presenter .
For the past thirty-five years or so he ’ s been putting his ideas out on how he thinks the world operates – and it ’ s fair to say he has caused plenty of controversy .
Some people laughed at him , some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
No one campaigned for him to be banned .
Recently though , that ’ s changed .
Icke has been accused of “ preaching hate ” and of peddling “ unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.
” And now he ’ s charged with promoting “ toxic ” and “ dangerous misinformation ” about Covid-19 .
Writing in the Observer on April 25 , Nick Cohen berated social media platforms for not banning Icke .
Less than 20 minutes after he tweeted his piece , the “ mysterious wikipedia editor ” Andrew Philip Cross had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wiki page .
And , just a week later , both Facebook and YouTube had obliged , deleting Icke and all his work .
Cohen argued there was a “ liberal ” case for banning Icke .
But there isn ‘ t and it ‘ s extremely Orwellian to suggest that there is .
No one is forced to listen to Icke or read his books .
If Cohen takes issue with Icke ‘ s positions , he should challenge him to a public debate .
If what Icke says is so obviously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be able to wipe the floor with him very easily .
Instead , he seems to want him silenced .
That ’ s disturbing .
The silencing of views we disagree with puts us on the fast-track to tyranny .
In chapter two in his classic 1859 text ‘ On Liberty ’ , John Stuart Mill explained why silencing dissenting opinions is wrong .
Firstly , the opinion which is threatened with suppression may possibly be true .
“ Those who desire to suppress it , of course , deny its truth ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have no authority to decide the question for all mankind , and exclude every other person from the means of judging , ” Mill wrote .
It ’ s pertinent here to remind ourselves that Cohen , who wants to suppress Icke ’ s opinions , and sets himself as an arbiter of what views should or shouldn ’ t be heard on leading social media platforms , was a prominent supporter of the Iraq War .
What greater – and more dangerous – “ conspiracy theory ” was there than the one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ invaded because it possessed WMDs ?
But is anyone calling for Iraq War promoters to be banned ?
No of course not , they ’ re the ones gunning for Icke .
Mill goes on : “ To refuse a hearing to an opinion , because they are sure that it is false , is to assume that their certainty is the same thing as absolute certainty .
All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility .
Its condemnation may be allowed to rest on this common argument , not the worse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certain that all of Icke ’ s opinions are false ?
Perhaps some are , but others aren ’ t .
That ’ s what Mill refers to in his second reason why opinions should not be suppressed .
“ Though the silenced opinion be an error , it may , and very commonly does , contain a portion of truth ; and since the general or prevailing opinion on any object is rarely or never the whole truth , it is only by the collision of adverse opinions that the remainder of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supplied.
” Even if the opinion is the whole truth , then “ vigorously and earnestly ” contesting it is a positive for liberty too , as it helps to make sure that the opinion is held rationally and not just as a prejudice because so many are saying it ’ s true .
One would imagine Mill would give very short shrift to those who arrogantly dismiss any view they don ’ t agree with as “ a conspiracy theory ” and denounce all dissenting voices as “ cranks.
” John Stuart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ideas no doubt played a part in why Britain was a country where free speech and free expression were more respected than in many other places .
But alas , that ’ s no longer the case today .
Faux-left neocons and extreme “ centrists ” are at the forefront of the new illiberal censorship drive .
Cohen has previously lashed out against RT and what he called its “ dumb ‘ viewers.
” In 2011 he wrote a column entitled ‘ Who will rid us of hate channels such as Press TV @ @ @ @ @ @ @ removed Press TV ’ s station ’ s licence to broadcast in the UK .
Those targeting David Icke pose a bigger danger to society than Icke does .
The “ hate ” comes less from those under attack , than those doing the attacking .
In any case “ hate speech ” laws – with the subjective nature of what constitutes the “ offence ” – are fundamentally illiberal as they are being used , increasingly , to stifle debate .
If someone says something you think is hateful , then challenge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a lot of what Katie Hopkins has said , but her suspension from Twitter earlier this year , cheered by those who oppose her , was wrong .
She has exactly the same right to express her opinions as me , Nick Cohen , or anyone else .
The argument that the leading social media companies are private corporations and so can ban anyone they like is disingenuous .
The market share of Facebook , YouTube and Twitter makes them effective monopolies and a de facto online “ Speaker ’ s Corner.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ time trying to get people they don ’ t like banned from these platforms know just how important they are .
In a sense , this is not really about David Icke , it ’ s about attempts to police debate and limit the parameters of which opinions can be heard publicly , and which can ’ t .
In a marketplace of ideas , it should be the public – and the public alone – who decide what ideas to “ buy ” and what ideas to leave alone .
No one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ market place , but equally no one is told : “ You ’ re banned from having a stall because you are trying to sell the ‘ wrong ’ ideas.
” I made a point of watching David Icke ’ s live interview on London Real yesterday precisely because of the attempts to ban him .
A lot of people seem to have done the same .
If we want to fight back against the new censors , we need to step up to the plate and wake up to what ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ late .
It may be David Icke today , but which dissenting voice will it be tomorrow ?

Gabrielle Ellison, owner of Big Daddy Zane’s in Odessa, decided to open her establishment on Monday in defiance of Governor Abbott’s decree.
“We can’t take it no more, we’re not going to make it,” Ellison said. “I am aware of what’s going on down the road. I am shocked. I had customers come through saying, ‘You know they have SWAT built up, they have SWAT built up.’ Why would you bring in SWAT on a peaceful situation?”
A group of armed protesters who have been supporting businesses deciding to open amid the government-mandated shutdown gathered at an Odessa Anytime Fitness location that opened on Friday.
The same group asked if they could show up to Big Daddy Zane’s to support Ellison’s decision to open, she told them to stay in the back of the bar, which is her private property.
Ellison said she even spoke with the Sheriff’s Office before the demonstration and was told everything would be fine as long as the armed individuals were not on the bar’s property.

The rancher also pointed out that while the USA – which could feed the entire world if properly managed – is about to start culling cattle, the nation is still importing less-regulated beef from Namibia in Southern Africa.
“And yet they’re telling us to prepare to euthanize harvest-ready cattle,” he added. “Am I the only one who sees a problem in this? It is time to get the American people back to work. It is time we get money flowing. It is time we get food on the shelves.”
