thelibertybeacon--2020-06-03--Sweden’s Triumph – Staying Free in a Lockdown World

We remind readers of the WHO ’ s praise for the Swedish approach from a month ago .
See Lockdown-Free Sweden Had It Right , Says World Health Organization : Interview with Prof. Johan Giesecke .
In this interview , Giesecke notes how relatively larger the care homes are in Sweden , with typically hundreds of residents , than in Norway , hence accounting for a higher mortality rate in the vulnerable nursing home populations .
See also this report by CNBC from a few days ago titled Sweden ’ s economy actually grew in the first quarter after it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As of the end of May it had recorded 4,350 deaths from Covid-19 .
By contrast , as of Monday there had been at least 39,045 in England… .
Neil Ferguson , who became known as “ professor lockdown ” after convincing Boris Johnson to radically curtail everyday freedoms , acknowledged that , despite relying on “ quite similar science ” , the Swedish authorities had “ got a long way to the same effect ” without a full lockdown .
The scientist behind lockdown in the UK has admitted that Sweden has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without draconian restrictions .
ER Editor : Yesterday , The Telegraph ( paywall ) published an article by Henry Bodkin in which our friend Neil Ferguson basically admitted that Sweden achieved the same virus result without the extreme repression of the population : Why is the media so preoccupied with Sweden ?
And why is the media so determined to prove that Sweden ’ s approach to the coronavirus is wrong ?
Are we supposed to believe that the same MSM that promoted every bloody coup , intervention and war for the last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advocate for elderly Swedes fighting off a lethal infection ?
That ’ s baloney .
The reason the media publishes roughly 15 articles blasting Sweden for every one article voicing support is because the media has a stake in the outcome .
The media wants to dispel the idea that there is any alternative to the authoritarian lockdown approach .
Thus , the Swedish model– that leaves parts of the economy open and trusts people to follow the government ’ s “ distancing ” guidelines — has to be obliterated .
That ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The media has no interest in a smallish north European country of 10.4 million people .
What they care about is the example that Sweden is setting for other countries around the world .
If those other countries follow suit and settle on an approach that is based on science and trust rather than politics and coercion , then the elitist plan to prolong the crisis and restructure the economy begins to unravel .
So , Sweden must be annihilated .
It ’ s that simple .
The first line of attack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” which is significantly higher than its neighbors in Norway or Denmark .
And while there are only 4,395 deaths in Sweden today as opposed to over 100,000 in the United States , the information is always presented in the most sensationalist terms , like this goofy clip from the National Review : Wow , “ 435 out of every one million Swedes have died from the virus !
” Those barbaric Swedes , they ’ re killing their own people !
This is alarmist nonsense .
Think about it : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just 1 in every 2,500 .
Is that enough to justify the shutting down of the economy and suspending civil liberties ?
Of course , not .
And , keep in mind , the great majority of these fatalities are among people that are 70 years-old and up with underlying health conditions .
Like everywhere else , roughly 90 % of Covid fatalities occur among the over 60-crowd with co-morbidities ” .
So I put this question to you : Is one death in every 2,500 sufficient reason to strangle the economy and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The answer is “ No ” .
The lockdown was not only a mistake , it was a fear-fueled , knee-jerk reaction to the exponential spike in Covid-positive cases for which policymakers were completely unprepared .
So , instead of consulting a broader range of experts with varying opinions on the topic , the Trump administration adopted the Chinese model that was supported by Dr Fauci and the Vaccine Mafia .
As as result , 40 million Americans have lost their jobs , every sector of the economy is in freefall , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Depression .
In contrast to this madness , Sweden ’ s infectious disease experts developed a sensible , science-based plan which was laid out in an article by Dr. Johan Giesecke at The Lancet .
Here ’ s an excerpt : “ It has become clear that a hard lockdown does not protect old and frail people living in care homes—a population the lockdown was designed to protect .
Neither does it decrease mortality from COVID-19 , which is evident when comparing the UK ’ s experience with that of other European countries… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ following conclusions .
Everyone will be exposed to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 , and most people will become infected .
COVID-19 is spreading like wildfire in all countries , but we do not see it—it almost always spreads from younger people with no or weak symptoms to other people who will also have mild symptoms .
This is the real pandemic , but it goes on beneath the surface , and is probably at its peak now in many European countries .
There is very little we can do to prevent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ severe cases for a while , but once restrictions are eased , cases will reappear .
I expect that when we count the number of deaths from COVID-19 in each country in 1 year from now , the figures will be similar , regardless of measures taken .
Measures to flatten the curve might have an effect , but a lockdown only pushes the severe cases into the future —it will not prevent them .
Admittedly , countries have managed to slow down spread so as not to overburden health-care systems , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives might soon be developed , but this pandemic is swift , and those drugs have to be developed , tested , and marketed quickly .
Much hope is put in vaccines , but they will take time , and with the unclear protective immunological response to infection , it is not certain that vaccines will be very effective .
In summary , COVID-19 is a disease that is highly infectious and spreads rapidly through society .
It is often quite symptomless and might pass unnoticed , but it also causes severe disease @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proportion of the population , and our most important task is not to stop spread , which is all but futile , but to concentrate on giving the unfortunate victims optimal care.
” ( “ The Invisible Pandemic ” , The Lancet ) As you can see , the Swedish team that developed the policy was not “ gambling ” with Swedish lives as the idiot media likes to say .
They were applying decades of science to a problem that required them to make tough decisions about the best way to navigate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known cure and no effective treatment .
And their choice was clearly the right one .
They elected to keep the economy open as much as possible while making every effort to protect the old and vulnerable .
It was an excellent plan despite the notable failures in its implementation , the biggest of which was the surge of fatalities at the rest homes which has been nothing short of a catastrophe .
More than half of Sweden ’ s death toll comes from these homes for the elderly , while a whopping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ died from the virus have been over 60 .
That is NOT a misprint .
( See Sweden ’ s official state statistics here ) A mere 186 people under 60 have died from the infection .
While these statistics may be shocking , they don ’ t suggest the policy was wrong , only that there wasn ’ t enough effort put into protecting the elderly .
So , is it fair to blame Sweden for its higher death rate ?
Of course , it is , provided we allow sufficient time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths or if they just postponed them until the restrictions were lifted .
That ’ s the only way we ’ ll know for sure whether they worked or not .
Some experts predict that the percentage of deaths will balance out in the long-term and that Norway and Denmark ’ s fatality rate will look very similar to Sweden ’ s .
But only time will tell .
It ’ s also worth noting that Belgium , Spain , United Kingdom , Italy and France all lead Sweden in terms of “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the standard metric for measuring the success or failure of a particular approach .
So why is Sweden –which has 405 deaths per million– so savagely raked over the coals , while Belgium–that has 817 deaths per million — gets off scot-free ?
It ’ s because Belgium hasn ’ t veered from the official lockdown policy which achieves the elitist dream of universal martial law .
Sweden rejected that option which is why the agenda-driven media has hung a bullseye on its back .
Did you know that the Norwegian Prime Minister @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
It ’ s true , here ’ s what she said : Interesting , eh ?
So while Norway is invariably used to prove that Sweden “ got it wrong ” , Norway ’ s own PM thinks they “ got it right ” .
It ’ s no surprise that this story didn ’ t appear anywhere in the western media .
And , did you know that the UK Government has released the classified minutes from the SAGE ( The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies ) meetings which show that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country was not based on science but on politics ?
Check it out : There it is in black and white : the British lockdown isn ’ t science-based anymore than the American lockdown is science-based .
The policy was adopted by hysterical politicians who overreacted to a public health crisis for which they were totally unprepared .
That ’ s what these classified SAGE documents prove .
No “ Herd Immunity ” after all ?
“ Sweden ’ s chief epidemiologist , Anders Tegnell , has been widely criticized for claiming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” by the end of May .
“ But a recent study found that just 7.3 percent of Stockholm residents tested positive for coronavirus antibodies at the end of April .
“ I think herd immunity is a long way off , if we ever reach it , ” Bjorn Olsen , professor of infectious medicine at Uppsala University , told Reuters.
” ( National Review ) But there ’ s more to this story than meets the eye .
Not everyone who is exposed to the virus manifests an antibody response .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Theoretical Epidemiology at the University of Oxford ( who produced a rival model to Ferguson ’ s back in March ) , “ The antibody studies , although useful , do not indicate the true level of exposure or level of immunity .
First , many of the antibody tests are “ extremely unreliable ” and rely on hard-to-achieve representative groups .
But more important , many people who have been exposed to the virus will have other kinds of immunity that don ’ t show up on antibody tests — either for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immunities to related coronaviruses such as the common cold .
The implications of this are profound – it means that when we hear results from antibody tests , the percentage who test positive for antibodies is not necessarily equal to the percentage who have immunity or resistance to the virus .
The true number could be much higher .
Observing the very similar patterns of the epidemic across countries around the world has convinced Professor Gupta that it is this hidden immunity , more than lockdowns or government interventions , that offers the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ In almost every context we ’ ve seen the epidemic grow , turn around and die away — almost like clockwork .
Different countries have had different lockdown policies , and yet what we ’ ve observed is almost a uniform pattern of behaviour which is highly consistent with the SIR model .
To me that suggests that much of the driving force here was due to the build-up of immunity .
I think that ’ s a more parsimonious explanation than one which requires in every country for lockdown ( or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lockdown ) to have had the same effect.
” Asked what her updated estimate for the Infection Fatality Rate is , Professor Gupta says , “ I think that the epidemic has largely come and is on its way out in this country so I think it would be definitely less than 1 in 1000 and probably closer to 1 in 10,000.
” That would be somewhere between 0.1 % and 0.01 % ” .
( “ Sunetra Gupta : Covid-19 is on the way out ” , unherd.com ) Gupta makes a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be better explained .
If , for example , “ just 7.3 percent of Stockholm residents tested positive for coronavirus antibodies at the end of April ” , that does not mean that only 7.3 % of Stockholm residents are immune .
No .
Some people have an innate immunity ( due to their genetic makeup ) or have “ existing immunities ” linked to prior infections like SARS .
Gupta believes that immunity is more widespread than is evident by the results of antibody tests .
This suggests that the percentage of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much greater than we think .
Given the virulence of the infection , as well as the interaction of the city ’ s population , Stockholm could be very close to herd immunity already .
The decline in “ new cases ” strongly suggests that immunity is blocking the spread of the pathogen which means the virus is gradually dying out .
If that ’ s what is currently taking place , then Sweden will likely be spared a “ second wave ” of the pandemic .
Sweden ’ s economy is expected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comparable to that of its neighbors .
Check out this excerpt from an article at NPR : Bottom line : Sweden is going to face a deep recession just like the countries that implemented harsher measures .
( ER : NPR is another version of MSM , looking to bash Sweden .
Perhaps the economic figures need to be gathered in the fullness of time instead of simply assuming Sweden will take an equivalent economic hit to other countries . )
So what was gained by bucking the trend ?
Maybe nothing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ easier and less costly for Sweden to gear-up to full capacity than any of the lockdown states .
And Sweden will not have to deal with disruptive shutdowns due to sporadic outbreaks like we ’ ve seen recently in Germany , South Korea and China .
In fact , this could be a recurrent problem in countries that put their hopes in contact tracing or quarantines .
In contrast , Sweden bet the farm on old-fashioned immunity developed through controlled exposure of younger , low-risk people who strengthened their own natural defenses by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they normally would .
It ’ s clear , they made the only sensible choice .
Sweden has shown that it ’ s possible to counter a deadly pandemic and preserve personal freedom at the same time .
They alone have triumphed where others have failed .

And while there are only 4,395 deaths in Sweden today as opposed to over 100,000 in the United States, the information is always presented in the most sensationalist terms, like this goofy clip from the National Review:
“There have now been ten times as many COVID-19 deaths in Sweden than Norway on a per capita basis. According to the Worldometers website, 435 out of every one million Swedes have died from the virus, while the virus has killed 44 out of every million Norwegians.” (National Review)
Wow, “435 out of every one million Swedes have died from the virus!” Those barbaric Swedes, they’re killing their own people!
This is alarmist nonsense. Think about it: “435 out of every million” is just 1 in every 2,500. Is that enough to justify the shutting down of the economy and suspending civil liberties? Of course, not. And, keep in mind, the great majority of these fatalities are among people that are 70 years-old and up with underlying health conditions.

The answer is “No”. The lockdown was not only a mistake, it was a fear-fueled, knee-jerk reaction to the exponential spike in Covid-positive cases for which policymakers were completely unprepared. So, instead of consulting a broader range of experts with varying opinions on the topic, the Trump administration adopted the Chinese model that was supported by Dr Fauci and the Vaccine Mafia. As as result, 40 million Americans have lost their jobs, every sector of the economy is in freefall, and the US is headed for another Great Depression. In contrast to this madness, Sweden’s infectious disease experts developed a sensible, science-based plan which was laid out in an article by Dr. Johan Giesecke at The Lancet. Here’s an excerpt:
“It has become clear that a hard lockdown does not protect old and frail people living in care homes—a population the lockdown was designed to protect.

Sweden rejected that option which is why the agenda-driven media has hung a bullseye on its back.
Did you know that the Norwegian Prime Minister admitted that the lockdown was a mistake? It’s true, here’s what she said:
“Last Wednesday night, Norway’s prime minister Erna Solberg went on television to make a confession: she had panicked at the start of the pandemic. Most of the tough measures imposed in Norway’s lockdown were steps too far, she admitted. “Was it necessary to close schools?” she asked. “Perhaps not.” She isn’t the first Norwegian official to acknowledge that the lockdown wasn’t necessary. On May 5th, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) published a briefing note reporting….“Our assessment now… is that we could possibly have achieved the same effects and avoided some of the unfortunate impacts by not locking down, but by instead keeping open but with infection control measures,” Camilla Stoltenberg, NIPH’s Director General said in a TV interview earlier this month…. (“Norwegian Prime Minister Admits Lockdown Was Mistake” Lockdown Skeptic)
Interesting, eh? So while Norway is invariably used to prove that Sweden “got it wrong”, Norway’s own PM thinks they “got it right”. It’s no surprise that this story didn’t appear anywhere in the western media.
And, did you know that the UK Government has released the classified minutes from the SAGE (The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies) meetings which show that the government’s decision to lockdown the country was not based on science but on politics? Check it out:
“…at no point did SAGE discuss anything resembling a full lockdown. Indeed, SAGE noted at a meeting on March 10th that banning public gatherings would have little effect since most viral transmission occurred in confined spaces, such as within households…. In other words, Boris Johnson and his advisors were not following “the science” when they took the decision to lock down the country on March 23rd – they weren’t acting on any specific recommendations by SAGE. Nor can the Government claim this is one of the options that was discussed at SAGE meetings and it was basing its decision, in part, on SAGE’s analysis of the impact of a full lockdown. That option was not discussed at any of the meetings before March 23rd. In this respect, it was a political decision.” (“Was the Government Really Following “the Science”? Lockdown Skeptics)
There it is in black and white: the British lockdown isn’t science-based anymore than the American lockdown is science-based. The policy was adopted by hysterical politicians who overreacted to a public health crisis for which they were totally unprepared. That’s what these classified SAGE documents prove.
No “Herd Immunity” after all?
“Sweden’s chief epidemiologist, Anders Tegnell, has been widely criticized for claiming that Sweden would achieve “herd immunity” by the end of May. “But a recent study found that just 7.3 percent of Stockholm residents tested positive for coronavirus antibodies at the end of April. “I think herd immunity is a long way off, if we ever reach it,” Bjorn Olsen, professor of infectious medicine at Uppsala University, told Reuters.” (National Review)
But there’s more to this story than meets the eye. Not everyone who is exposed to the virus manifests an antibody response. According to Sunetra Gupta, Professor of Theoretical Epidemiology at the University of Oxford (who produced a rival model to Ferguson’s back in March),
“The antibody studies, although useful, do not indicate the true level of exposure or level of immunity. First, many of the antibody tests are “extremely unreliable” and rely on hard-to-achieve representative groups.

(“Sunetra Gupta: Covid-19 is on the way out”, unherd.com)
Gupta makes a important point, but it needs to be better explained. If, for example, “just 7.3 percent of Stockholm residents tested positive for coronavirus antibodies at the end of April”, that does not mean that only 7.3% of Stockholm residents are immune. No. Some people have an innate immunity (due to their genetic makeup) or have “existing immunities” linked to prior infections like SARS.

The decline in “new cases” strongly suggests that immunity is blocking the spread of the pathogen which means the virus is gradually dying out. If that’s what is currently taking place, then Sweden will likely be spared a “second wave” of the pandemic.
Sweden’s Economy: Not so hot
Sweden’s economy is expected to contract at a rate that is comparable to that of its neighbors. Check out this excerpt from an article at NPR:
“Even without a nationwide lockdown, the Sweden’s economy has taken a hit as people continue to follow their government’s guidelines and stay at home….Sweden’s central bank, the Riksbank, provided two potential scenarios for the country’s economic outlook in 2020. “Despite the comprehensive measures both in Sweden and abroad, the economic consequences of the pandemic will be considerable. The consequences for the economy will vary depending on how long the spread of infection continues and on how long the restrictions implemented to slow it down are in place,” the Riksbank said in a statement in April. Both scenarios predict a rise in unemployment rate and a contraction of the country’s gross domestic product. The central bank expects unemployment to rise from 6.8% to 10.1% and GDP to shrink by up to 9.7% this year as result of the pandemic.” (“Sweden won’t reach herd immunity in May”, NPR)
Bottom line: Sweden is going to face a deep recession just like the countries that implemented harsher measures. (ER: NPR is another version of MSM, looking to bash Sweden. Perhaps the economic figures need to be gathered in the fullness of time instead of simply assuming Sweden will take an equivalent economic hit to other countries.) So what was gained by bucking the trend?
Maybe nothing, but I expect it will be much easier and less costly for Sweden to gear-up to full capacity than any of the lockdown states. And Sweden will not have to deal with disruptive shutdowns due to sporadic outbreaks like we’ve seen recently in Germany, South Korea and China. In fact, this could be a recurrent problem in countries that put their hopes in contact tracing or quarantines. In contrast, Sweden bet the farm on old-fashioned immunity developed through controlled exposure of younger, low-risk people who strengthened their own natural defenses by interacting with their friends and families as they normally would. It’s clear, they made the only sensible choice.
Sweden has shown that it’s possible to counter a deadly pandemic and preserve personal freedom at the same time. They alone have triumphed where others have failed.

A suspected Antifa anarchist accused of inciting riots in Pittsburgh was turned in to police by his own parents Monday evening. Brian Bartels, 20, is accused of inciting violent protests in the city on Saturday in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd. “Police secured the warrant as part of an investigation into a male suspect who incited Saturday’s violence by breaking the windows out of a marked Pittsburgh Police vehicle Uptown, against the wishes of peaceful protesters who tried to stop him,” police spokesman Chris Togneri told Fox News of the search law enforcement conducted on his home in Shaler, PA.

Statistician: ‘U.S. Officials Exaggerated Their COVID Death Toll’
BY
It’s now June, and still a number of American states are still dithering on lifting their catastrophic ‘lockdown’ policies which have decimated their economies and severely damaged society. With each passing day, more experts are going on-record to state that senseless lockdowns are actually costing lives, not saving them.
Looking at the actual data, it’s clear that the overwhelming majority of the deaths have occurred in densely populated states such as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Illinois. So why are so many other states still maintaining this harmful policy?
In fact, the government and mainstream’s campaign of fear has been so successful, that it convinced the public to adopt stringent ‘mask policies’ in mid May – a full month and a half after reported COVID infections had already peaked in late March.
Sky News Australia talks with American statistical consultant William M. Briggs who disputed the government’s official figures, and went on to easily debunk the official government fiction on COVID-19.
Briggs also showed how America’s gigantic death toll was grossly overblown.
“At first, it was dying from, you had to have this bug (COVID-19) and nothing else,” he said. “And then that was moved to dying with, which you had to have this bug among a whole range of other things that were probably going to kill you anyway.”
“The people dying of this have multiple comorbidities on average, other sicknesses,” said Briggs.
He also explained how “absurd” it was that the US Federal agencies and State governors had overreacted to COVID-19 “to an unprecedented degree.”

If I Wanted America To Fail …
By TLB Contributing Writer: Ken LaRive
To follow, not lead; to suffer, not prosper; to despair, not dream…
If I wanted America to Fail …
I would start with energy.
I’d cut off America’s supply of cheap, abundant energy. I couldn’t take it by force. So, I’d make Americans feel guilty for using the energy that heats their homes, fuels their cars, runs their businesses, and powers their economy.
I’d make cheap energy expensive, so that expensive energy would seem cheap.
I would empower unelected bureaucrats to all-but-outlaw America’s most abundant sources of energy. And after banning its use in America, I’d make it illegal for American companies to ship it overseas. Natural Gas is a case in point…
If I wanted America to fail …
I’d use our schools to teach one generation of Americans that our factories and our cars will cause a new Ice Age, and I’d muster a straight face so I could teach the next generation that they’re causing Global Warming.
And when it’s cold out, I’d call it Climate Change instead.
I’d imply that America’s cities and factories could run on wind power and wishes. I’d teach children how to ignore the hypocrisy of condemning logging, mining and farming — while having roofs over their heads, heat in their homes and food on their tables. I would never teach children that the free market is the only force in human history to uplift the poor, establish the middle class and create lasting prosperity.
Instead, I’d demonize prosperity itself, so that they will not miss what they will never have.
If I wanted America to fail …
I would create countless new regulations and seldom cancel old ones. They would be so complicated that only bureaucrats, lawyers and lobbyists could understand them. That way small businesses with big ideas wouldn’t stand a chance – and I would never have to worry about another Thomas Edison, Henry Ford or Steve Jobs.
I would ridicule as “Flat Earthers” those who urge us to lower energy costs by increasing supply. And when the evangelists of commonsense try to remind people about the law of supply and demand, I’d enlist a sympathetic media to drown them out.
If I wanted America to fail …
I would empower unaccountable bureaucracies seated in a distant capitol to bully Americans out of their dreams and their property rights. I’d send federal agents to raid guitar factories for using the wrong kind of wood; I’d force homeowners to tear down the homes they built on their own land.
I’d make it almost impossible for farmers to farm, miners to mine, loggers to log, and builders to build.
And because I don’t believe in free markets, I’d invent false ones. I’d devise fictitious products—like carbon credits—and trade them in imaginary markets. I’d convince people that this would create jobs and be good for the economy.
If I wanted America to fail …
For every concern, I’d invent a crisis; and for every crisis, I’d invent the cause; Like shutting down entire industries and killing tens of thousands of jobs in the name of saving spotted owls. And when everyone learned the stunning irony that the owls were victims of their larger cousins and not people, it would already be decades too late.
If I wanted America to fail …
I’d make it easier to stop commerce than start it – easier to kill jobs than create them – more fashionable to resent success than to seek it. When industries seek to create jobs, I’d file lawsuits to stop them. And then I’d make taxpayers pay for my lawyers.
If I wanted America to fail …
I would transform the environmental agenda from a document of conservation to an economic suicide pact. I would concede entire industries to our economic rivals by imposing regulations that cost trillions. I would celebrate those who preach environmental austerity in public while indulging a lavish lifestyle in private. I’d convince Americans that Europe has it right, and America has it wrong.
If I wanted America to fail …
I would prey on the goodness and decency of ordinary Americans. I would only need to convince them … that all of this is for the greater good.
If I truly wanted America to fail … I suppose I wouldn’t change anything.

Demonstrations across the US took on a distinctly more peaceful tone last night
Instead of the spray-painting graffiti, protesters in the US capital used chalk to draw messages on the asphalt. After four straight nights of anarchy and unrest across the US, demonstrations in dozens of cities across the US took on a distinctly more peaceful tone during night No. 5, as several tense situations were successfully de-escalated, while demonstrations and in some cases violent protests sprang up in Europe and around the world.
(ZeroHedge)
Tuesday evening was the 7th night of protests (if one counts from the first rallies in Minneapolis) and the fifth night of nationwide unrest, as demonstrations had spread to other cities by Friday.
After closing all of Manhattan below 96th street to cars, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio called for an end to “coordinated criminal activity” and looting. Fortunately, the protests on Tuesday night were much less violent and chaotic. A clash between protesters and police was avoided on the Manhattan Bridge, where police allowed them to turn around and walk back to Manhattan. Some store owners lined the streets and “cheered on the demonstrators”, CNN reported. We imagine many more stood outside their boarded up stores with makeshift weapons, ready to take matters into their own hands after the NYPD refused to intervene to stop looters in parts of the city last night.

Looting broke out in downtown Brooklyn at Flatbush Avenue and Pacific Street, an area with a lot of big box stores and the Atlantic Terminal mall near the Barclays Center. The department also said there was a shooting in Crown Heights, where a cop shot “somebody with a firearm”.
Though they remained mostly peaceful, thousands of demonstrators steadfastly refused to abide by Mayor de Blasio’s 8pmET curfew, likely because the mayor refused to bring in the national guard and state troopers to assist the NYPD.
“Something has to break, and it’s not going to be us,” Evan Kutcher, one of hundreds of demonstrators who stood outside the Barclays Center chanting Floyd’s name Tuesday evening, told the AP. “We’re here because something needs to change.”
In Philadelphia on Tuesday, CNN noted that protests culminated in a nine-minute “moment” of silence, while city officials opted to move a controversial statue of a former mayor that had become a locus for vandalism.

In central London, thousands gathered to chant “no justice, no peace” on Wednesday morning.
Protests even broke out in Sub-Saharan Africa, with protests staged in Kenya and Nigeria.
Pope Francis weighed in for the first time, saying “We cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye” to racism.
I have witnessed with great concern the disturbing social unrest in your nation in these past days, following the tragic death of Mr. George Floyd…We cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life.”
According to a tally from the AP that was just updated, roughly 9,300 people have been arrested in demonstrations around the world.

“It’s not what we’re about,” said protester George “TJ” Pierce.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced Tuesday that the Minnesota Department of Human Rights is launching a sweeping civil rights investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department which will look into practices of systemic racism. In a statement to the press, he said the inquiry will try to determine whether police engaged in “systemic discriminatory practices towards people of color and ensure any such practices are stopped.”
Derek Chauvin, the officer who placed his knee on Floyd’s neck, is expected to make his first appearance in court on charges of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter on June 8. Floyd’s funeral is set for June 9.

thelibertybeacon--2020-06-03--MAIL-IN VOTING … NOT THE SOLUTION

MAIL-IN VOTING … NOT THE SOLUTION

MAIL-IN VOTING IS NOT THE SOLUTION The Coronavirus pandemic has completely upended the 2020 election cycle in a myriad of ways .
The novel virus and social distancing have made more traditional campaigning with handshakes , baby-kissing , and massive indoor and outdoor rallies practically impossible .
As a result , the presidential campaigns have become virtual , especially in the case of presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden .
COVID-19 has relegated the Biden campaign to doing media interviews and townhalls events from his makeshift basement studio in Wilmington , Delaware .
President Trump has , of course , suspended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his 2016 campaign , but because he is the President and has the enormous bully pulpit of the presidency , he can still garner positive attention for his reelection while still performing his duties as president .
Coronavirus is also threatening how we ’ ve voted for our president since the founding of our republic which traditionally has been in person at your local polling location .

MAIL-IN VOTING IS NOT THE SOLUTION
By: Christopher Arps
The Coronavirus pandemic has completely upended the 2020 election cycle in a myriad of ways. The novel virus and social distancing have made more traditional campaigning with handshakes, baby-kissing, and massive indoor and outdoor rallies practically impossible.
As a result, the presidential campaigns have become virtual, especially in the case of presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. COVID-19 has relegated the Biden campaign to doing media interviews and townhalls events from his makeshift basement studio in Wilmington, Delaware.
President Trump has, of course, suspended the huge rallies he made famous during his 2016 campaign, but because he is the President and has the enormous bully pulpit of the presidency, he can still garner positive attention for his reelection while still performing his duties as president.
Coronavirus is also threatening how we’ve voted for our president since the founding of our republic which traditionally has been in person at your local polling location. That may change in 2020.
Michigan and many other states are proposing mail-in voting for those voters in their states who fear they could contract the coronavirus while at their polling location. On Tuesday, a Texas judge ruled that Texas could join those other states:
District Judge Fred Biery ruled that the “disability” provision in the state’s vote-by-mail election code applies to all registered voters who “lack immunity from Covid-19 and fear infection at polling places.”
Texas’ election code defines “disability” as “a sickness or physical condition that prevents the voter from appearing at the polling place on election day without a likelihood of needing personal assistance or of injuring the voter’s health.”
Voting fraud and the disenfranchisement of Black Americans at the voting booth is a major concern for Project 21. So much so that we included it in our groundbreaking “Blueprint for a Better Deal for Black America,” under the header of “Restoring the Right of Self-Determination of Black America:
Today, black citizens are still being thwarted in exercising their right to determine or decide the policies they will live by – only now it is being done through less direct, more subtle schemes to dilute their vote.
When illegals and felons vote, when identity thieves cast votes of registered voters or cast them on behalf of people long deceased, the votes of legitimate voters are diluted or diminished in ways similar to those of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The fears of contracting COVID 19 at polling locations are legitimate and every precaution must be taken to ensure a voter’s safety. But mail-in voting is fraught with potential fraud.
According to these election experts, here are three potential problems with mail-in voting this election cycle:
“ Because the ballot is cast outside the public eye , the opportunities for coercion and voter impersonation are greater. Coercion by family members, employers, union leaders, religious leaders, or others might occur.” – National Conference of State Legislatures
“ Voter registration rolls are notoriously inaccurate, containing names of voters who are deceased, have moved, or otherwise have become ineligible. In 2018, California was sued over maintaining 1.5 million inactive voter files.” – CATO Institute, JW v. Logan Settlement
“Even many scholars who argue that fraud is generally rare agree that fraud with voting by mail seems to be more frequent than with in-person voting.” – MIT Election Data and Science Lab
In this current environment where our society is seriously contemplating changing temporarily (or maybe permanently) how we cast our ballots through mail-in balloting, Project 21’s recommendations seem today almost prescient:
Requiring proof of identity to cast ballots.
Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.
Requiring states to purge election rolls on a regular basis to remove people who are deceased or have moved to other jurisdictions.
Requiring states to purge election rolls of registered voters who have not cast ballots in six years.
Prohibiting the practice of mailing ballots to those who have not requested them.
Requiring proof of identity with a state-issued ID or a military ID to vote almost seems like a no brainer. Unfortunately, there are those on the Left who vociferously fight against such simple, common-sense measures to ensure the integrity of our elections.
“They’re pushing laws designed to change election outcomes by reducing voting, repressing turnout and turning the clock back to the days of Jim Crow. This is the exact opposite of where our country needs to go.” – Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.)
“We are witnessing a concerted effort to place new obstacles in front of minorities, low-income families and young people who seek to exercise their right to vote. A poll tax by another name would smell as vile.” – Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD)
“Your water fountain is voter ID.” – Rev. Al Sharpton
“These laws are the new Jim Crow laws of our times.” – Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin (D)
And then there is common sense:
“I don’t think it is disenfranchisement. I think that African-Americans that are citizens of [the] United States of America can get out and vote. Four years ago we saw them vote in numbers that had never been seen before.” – Former Rep. Allen West.
It is virtually impossible to be a productive member of society without valid identification. You can’t cash a check, get on an airplane, rent a car, or even get a COVID 19 test without a state-issued ID.
We must as conscientious citizens oppose mail-in voting, not because we oppose every citizen’s right to their vote, but because mail-in voting is ripe for fraud and undermines the integrity of the voting system.

Moderna’s Guinea Pig … “Sickest in His Life” after Being Injected with Experimental Vaccine
By Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Chairman, Children’s Health Defense
You know Ian Haydon from many appearances on CNN and other networks celebrating his heroic act of volunteering to test Moderna’s experimental COVID vaccine. The sun has now set on Haydon’s television career. He is no longer useful to the Pharmedia narratives that all vaccines are always safe for all people, that Moderna’s business partners, Tony Fauci and Bill Gates, were justified in skipping animal studies and that Moderna’s vaccine will soon rescue us from the Pandemic. Ian Haydon is now an embarrassment to Fauci, Gates, and their CNN cheerleaders. He will therefore vanish into the censorship twilight.
Moderna chose Haydon for the study because of his robust good health. He was among the 15 volunteers in the high dose group. Within 45 days, three of these—a shocking 20%—experienced “serious” adverse events according to Moderna’s press release meaning they required hospitalization or medical intervention. Less than 12 hours after vaccination, Hayden suffered muscle aches, vomiting, spiked a 103.2 degree fever and lost consciousness. His girlfriend caught him as he fell. His Moderna trial supervisor instructed Haydon to call 911 and described him as being the “sickest in his life”. Moderna let Haydon believe the illness was just a sad coincidence unrelated to the jab. Moderna never told Haydon he was suffering an Adverse Event.
“Moderna’s press release was the first I learned of the 3 AEs in the high dose group.” Haydon confessed last week on Twitter. “Later a study doc confirmed that what happened to me was an AE.” While hiding this truth, Moderna encouraged Haydon to appear on TV to deceive the public and its shareholders by declaring Moderna’s COVID vaccine trials a smashing success. On May 7, Haydon told Sanjay Gupta about his reactions in a pre-interview. The two men agreed to keep this bad news secret when he went on air. This corrupt deal bespeaks the pathetic state of journalism at CNN.
Fauci and Gates are proceeding with their plan to funnel half a billion taxpayer dollars into their reckless vanity project to create 30 million doses by November and two billion within a year (personal interview, Moderna insider) manufactured in the US and Switzerland.
