Former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove has said that he believes the coronavirus pandemic “ started as an accident ” when the engineered virus escaped from a laboratory in China .
In an interview with The Telegraph , Dearlove said he had seen an “ important ” new scientific report by British and Norwegian researchers which suggested that the virus did not emerge naturally but was man-made by Chinese scientists .

Dearlove suggested that the virus was not released deliberately, but rather accidentally leaked when Chinese scientists were experimenting on bat coronaviruses. To back up his claims, he cited a recently-published peer-reviewed study by a British-Norwegian team which claimed to have found “inserted sections placed on the SARS-CoV-2 Spike surface” that allow the virus to come into contact with human cells.

Beijing has repeatedly denied these claims.

According to Judicial Watch, On March 2, 2020, Judge Lamberth granted Judicial Watch discovery that includes taking testimony from Clinton and Mills, under oath, regarding Clinton’s emails and the existence of records about the Benghazi attack. In April, Judicial Watch and the State Department, which is represented by Justice Department lawyers, filed responses opposing Clinton’s and Mills’ request to overturn the order requiring their testimony.
On March 2, the lower court issued a statement, saying that Clinton’s testimony was necessary:
“The Court has considered the numerous times in which Secretary Clinton said she could not recall or remember certain details in her prior interrogatory answers. In a deposition, it is more likely that plaintiff’s counsel could use documents and other testimony to attempt to refresh her recollection. And so, to avoid the unsatisfying and inefficient outcome of multiple rounds of fruitless interrogatories and move this almost six-year-old case closer to its conclusion, Judicial Watch will be permitted to clarify and further explore Secretary Clinton’s answers in person and immediately after she gives them. The Court agrees with Judicial Watch – it is time to hear directly from Secretary Clinton.”
Clinton had argued that she shouldn’t be required to testify because she was a former high-level government official and that the FBI already tried to retrieve her emails from numerous sources when it investigated allegations of classified information being improperly stored or transmitted on the personal e-mail server she used while serving as Secretary of State.

The World Health Organization and a number of world governments have changed their Covid-19 policies and treatments on the basis of flawed data from a small little-known US healthcare analytics company .

Hollywood Celebs Demand We ‘Defund The Police’; LA Mayor To Cut $150M From LAPD To ‘Reinvest’ in ‘Communities of Color’

Hollywood celebrities including Natalie Portman , John Legend and Lizzo are demanding that society “ defund the police ” as a response to “ systemic racism.

In support of the radical racial and social justice initiative Black Lives Matter , a growing number of A-list celebrities are signing an open letter demanding that police forces in the United States be defunded as a response to “ police brutality ” and “ systemic racism.

Black Lives Matter activists are “ the racists ” because “ when black people kill black people , they don ’ t come out and do this crap .
The only time they do this crap is when a white person does it , ” Nestride Yumga , an American citizen who immigrated from Africa , told BLM protestors on Sunday .
“ Black Lives Matter is a joke .
You are the racists , ” Nestride Yumga said near her home in Washington .
WesternJournal report : Yumga called out the hypocrisy of Black Lives Matter for refusing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , particularly in Chicago and other Democrat cities .
“ When black people kill black people , they don ’ t come out and do this crap , ” she said .
“ The only time they do this crap is when a white person does it.
” Ninety-four percent of black homicide victims from 1976 to 2005 were killed by other African-Americans , the National Review reported last year .
Over the Memorial Day weekend in Chicago , 84 people were wounded by gun violence and 24 of them died , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point out facts like these but was met with willful ignorance and combativeness .
“ Go to Chicago .
They don ’ t have schools , and they die every day .
They don ’ t matter [ to you ] because you can ’ t get attention from that , ” she said to protesters .
While Democratic politicians ignore the economic and societal devastation of their policies , it has been President Donald Trump who ’ s enacted strategies such as “ Opportunity Zones ” to help neglected neighborhoods .
Yumga @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and others mumbled that what she was saying was not welcome .
However , she refused to let the growing crowd around her convince her that she is oppressed because of the amount of melanin in her skin .
“ Group of hypocrites !
Go to Southeast D.C. , Northeast D.C. Tell them black lives matter !
If it matters , it should matter everywhere .
You guys are hypocrites , attention seekers .
Black lives should matter everywhere .

Black Lives Matter activists are “the racists” because “when black people kill black people, they don’t come out and do this crap. The only time they do this crap is when a white person does it,” Nestride Yumga, an American citizen who immigrated from Africa, told BLM protestors on Sunday.
“Black Lives Matter is a joke. You are the racists,” Nestride Yumga said near her home in Washington.

WesternJournal report: Yumga called out the hypocrisy of Black Lives Matter for refusing to acknowledge the exponential amounts of black-on-black crime, particularly in Chicago and other Democrat cities.
“When black people kill black people, they don’t come out and do this crap,” she said. “The only time they do this crap is when a white person does it.”
Ninety-four percent of black homicide victims from 1976 to 2005 were killed by other African-Americans, the National Review reported last year.
Over the Memorial Day weekend in Chicago, 84 people were wounded by gun violence and 24 of them died, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Yumga attempted to point out facts like these but was met with willful ignorance and combativeness.
“Go to Chicago. They don’t have schools, and they die every day. They don’t matter [to you] because you can’t get attention from that,” she said to protesters.
While Democratic politicians ignore the economic and societal devastation of their policies, it has been President Donald Trump who’s enacted strategies such as “Opportunity Zones” to help neglected neighborhoods.
Yumga was told to “shut up,” and others mumbled that what she was saying was not welcome.
However, she refused to let the growing crowd around her convince her that she is oppressed because of the amount of melanin in her skin.
“Group of hypocrites! Go to Southeast D.C., Northeast D.C. Tell them black lives matter! If it matters, it should matter everywhere. You guys are hypocrites, attention seekers. Black lives should matter everywhere. It doesn’t take a white cop to kill a black person [for their life] to matter,” Yumga continued.
Instead of kowtowing to her hostile critics, Yumga persisted in standing up for the country that has provided her with so much.
“I’m proud of my country, and I don’t want my country to be portrayed like this,” Yumga told Breitbart News.

“Nobody is oppressed in America,” she said, explaining that as a foreigner she values the opportunities this country provides.
“I am not oppressed,” Yumga confidently declared.
She condemned violence of all types, including the death of George Floyd in police custody. But that was not enough to appease the mob.

Rep. Maxine Waters ( D-CA ) has announced that she does not approve of the term “ rioting ” to describe violent protests .
Waters claims that the word is part of “ 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.
” Waters spoke to The Cut in an interview published Wednesday about her “ longtime fight over the language of insurrection and unrest versus rioting ” and told the outlet that the unrest in recent days brought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going on back in the day , when I was confronting Daryl Gates , starting when the police shot Eula Love , which brought me in contact with the police commission and brought me to taking a look at what was going on with police community relations ” years ago .

“ A lot of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , describing what whites often believe is true about us : that language includes ‘ lazy , ’ ‘ criminal , ’ and ‘ rioting , ’ ” Waters told the outlet .
“ It ’ s all 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 , ” she continued , drawing a connection between the protests in 1992 and those that have played out over the last week : So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , what I saw was an explosion of a hopelessness being played out .

Waters spoke to The Cut in an interview published Wednesday about her “longtime fight over the language of insurrection and unrest versus rioting” and told the outlet that the unrest in recent days brought her to reflect on “what was going on back in the day, when I was confronting Daryl Gates, starting when the police shot Eula Love, which brought me in contact with the police commission and brought me to taking a look at what was going on with police community relations” years ago.
Breitbart report: She spoke in depth about her experience with Gates, Los Angeles’s former police chief, and explained how those events shaped her view of the “negative language” used today.
“A lot of negative language gets used against black people, describing what whites often believe is true about us: that language includes ‘lazy,’ ‘criminal,’ and ‘rioting,’” Waters told the outlet.
“It’s all 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,” she continued, drawing a connection between the protests in 1992 and those that have played out over the last week:
So when they talked about rioting in 1992, what I saw was an explosion of a hopelessness being played out. I’d been working with those children in public housing and understood what was going on with crack cocaine, that these communities had been dropped off of America’s agenda, and the only real interaction they had was with police: the use of a battering ram to break down a door, as Daryl Gates did, or stopping young black men on the street to have them spread their legs to be searched by police. So when this unfortunate situation happened, where we had a lot of these young people in the street, they were acting out in anger and frustration. It reminded me of much of which I saw this past weekend, with people who had been cooped up because of COVID-19, who have lost jobs, whose family members have been getting infected, and then you have this police officer put his knee on the neck of George Floyd and hold it for eight minutes-plus, while his life drained out on the sidewalk … that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. So yes, 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, I choose to call it an insurrection.
While it is true that there have been peaceful protests around the country, several demonstrations in major U.S. cities have turned into violent riots — a term Waters continues to reject. Over the past week, demonstrations in New York City, D.C., Philadelphia, and Santa Monica have quickly devolved as protesters took to the streets, attacking police officers, vandalizing buildings, smashing police vehicles, and looting businesses one by one:

Pop star Pink has attacked the tens of millions of President Trump ’ s supporters , claiming that their vision for the country doesn ’ t represent the true America .
“ That ’ s your America , ” she said .
Pink made her comments in a 30-second video posted to Twitter in which she questioned whether President Trump ’ s supporters are patriots or even real Americans .
“ How can anyone call themselves a patriot or an American if you re-elect a president that doesn ’ t govern , respect , or represent half of our country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s not America .
That ’ s your America .
That ’ s not America.
” The sentiment seems disturbingly similar to comments made by Joe Biden when he told radio host Charlamagne the God “ If you have a problem figuring out whether you ’ re for me or Trump , then you ain ’ t black.
” Breitbart report : She also claimed that some Americans “ worship ” the Confederate flag , “ which is not our flag and it never will be.
” “ Or you ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ understand the meaning of patriotism or what it means to be an American , ” she said .

newspunch--2020-06-06--JPMorgan Chase CEO ‘Takes The Knee’ In Front Of Giant Bank Vault

The CEO of JPMorgan Chase was photographed on one knee in front of a large bank vault on Friday .
Jamie Dimon ’ s first public sighting since he underwent heart surgery three months ago has prompted questions about whether he was “ taking a knee ” in solidarity with widespread anti-racism protests .
According to a spokesperson for JPMorgan , the photo took place at his local Chase branch in Mt .
Kisco , New York .
RT reports : His bank declined to confirm whether there was a deeper meaning behind the photograph , but Dimon had previously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Chase was “ committed to fighting against racism and discrimination wherever and however it exists.
” For social media , the possibility that uber-wealthy Dimon had engaged in some rather transparent virtue signaling was too much to bear .
“ You don ’ t have to be broke to be woke , ” joked one unimpressed Twitter user .
Others pointed out that Dimon ’ s powerful bank has been accused of racism and discrimination in the past .
JPMorgan Chase was also blamed for purposefully targeting black neighborhoods with subprime loans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the NYPD .
If Dimon was in fact trying to show his solidarity with protesters , he likely did so out of fear rather than genuine support , noted one commenter .
During the mayhem last week , rioters set fire to a Chase bank in La Mesa , a suburb of San Diego .
Other banks and ATMs have also been targeted by protesters .
The kneeling phenomenon has split public opinion , with some arguing that it is a form of submission , while others have applauded the gesture as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ community .
Photographs showing police officers and even national guardsmen taking a knee have further polarized the debate .

newspunch--2020-06-06--CNN Contributor: White Children ‘Don’t Deserve Innocence’

CNN gladly gave airtime to an ‘ anti-racist activist ’ who disturbingly suggested that white children should not be allowed to have an ‘ innocent ’ childhood , but should be forced to feel guilt about their ‘ white privilege ’ at an early age .
CNN host Poppy Harlow cited a letter sent to her from a school instructing white parents how to teach their children about their ‘ white privilege , ’ and asked Tim Wise “ when should parents do this with their kids and how ?
” Wise responded that white guilt propaganda should be indoctrinated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that white children need to be repeatedly told they are over privileged in order to successfully instil anti-white propaganda into their impressionable minds .
Summit.news reports : “ I think the important thing for white parents to keep in the front of our mind is that if black children in this country are not allowed innocence and childhood without fear of being killed by police or marginalized in some other way , then our children don ’ t deserve innocence.
” Wise proclaimed .
“ If Tamir Rice can be shot dead in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gun , something white children do all over this country every day without the same fear of being shot , if Tamir Rice can be killed , then white children need to be told at least at the same age , if they can ’ t be innocent , we don ’ t get to be innocent.
” Wise continued .
“ If we could keep that in the front of our minds , then perhaps we would be able to hear what black and brown folks are telling us every day and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ added .
Wise was also wheeled out Monday by CBS , where he claimed that white Americans have “ been taught to have contempt for black life.
” CBS also featured a segment with Ibram X. Kendi , author of a book titled “ Antiracist Baby ” about how to indoctrinate children from birth on race by instituting ‘ diverse baby play dates ’ and the like .
So , white guilt sessions in the morning and the drag queen story time in the afternoon then ?

newspunch--2020-06-06--Bitchy Biden: 15 Percent of Americans Are ‘Just Not Very Good People’

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden has declared that a large percentage of Americans are “ just not very good people.
” According to the former Vice President , between 32.82M and 49.23 million Americans are bad people , mirroring similar claims made by Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election who famously called Trump supporters a “ basket of deplorables.
” Biden made the insult during a Thursday night online interview .
He claimed that most Americans were good people who see improvement as a possibility for the nation , while lamenting “ there are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are just not very good people.
” Breitbart.com reports : Biden spoke about race and plans for a Biden administration to push for racial equity in office .
He accused President Donald Trump of dividing the country while pledging that , as president , he would unify and heal .
“ The words a president says matter , so when a president stands up and divides people all the time , you ’ re going to get the worst of us to come out , ” Biden said during the exchange .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good as we can be as a nation ?
I don ’ t think the vast majority of people think that , ” he continued .
“ There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there that are just not very good people , but that ’ s not who we are .
The vast majority of the people are decent , and we have to appeal to that and we have to unite people — bring them together .
Bring them together.
” His thoughts echoed those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of “ half of Trump ’ s supporters ” as bigoted “ deplorables ” which subsequently became one of the most remembered quotes of her failed campaign .
Biden ’ s claim to be a peacemaker came just 24 hours after said he “ won ’ t traffic in fear and division ” in the wake of protests over the death of George Floyd .
“ I won ’ t fan the flames of hate , ” he claimed , as Breitbart News reported .

Radical Rep. Ilhan Omar on Friday called for the Minneapolis Police Department to be completely disbanded in the wake of the killing of George Floyd .
The far-left Congresswoman has called for the city to “ reimagine ” public safety after local thugs and rioters looted local businesses .

On Friday, the Minneapolis City Council will vote on whether to make radical changes to the MPD, though details of such changes remain unknown, said Councilman Jeremiah Ellison — the son of state Attorney General Keith Ellison.
“We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department,” Ellison tweeted. “And when we’re done, we’re not simply gonna glue it back together. We are going to dramatically rethink how we approach public safety and emergency response. It’s really past due.”
Last Thursday, demonstrators set fire to a police precinct building in the Minneapolis neighborhood where Floyd died Monday after he was restrained by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck.
Floyd had been arrested on suspicion of using a counterfeit bill at a grocery store.
The 3rd precinct building had been evacuated by order of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who said he was unwilling to endanger lives to protect the building.
“I understand the importance of a precinct,” he said. “[But] the symbolism of a building cannot outweigh the importance of life, of our officers, or the public. We could not risk serious injury to anyone and we will continue to patrol the third precinct entirely.”
By 4:30 a.m. last Friday, protesters and looters were still out on the streets in the neighborhood as several nearby commercial buildings burned unchecked.
