Red Flags Soar As Big Pharma Will Be Exempt From COVID-19 Vaccine Liability Claims Last week we warned readers to be cautious about new COVID-19 vaccines , highlighting how key parts of the clinical trials are being skipped as big pharma will not be held accountable for adverse side effects for administering the experimental drugs .
A senior executive from AstraZeneca , Britain ’ s second-largest drugmaker , told Reuters that his company was just granted protection from all legal action if the company ’ s vaccine led to damaging side effects .
“ This is a unique situation where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take the risk if in … four years the vaccine is showing side effects , ” said Ruud Dobber , a top exec at AstraZeneca .
“ In the contracts we have in place , we are asking for indemnification .
For most countries , it is acceptable to take that risk on their shoulders because it is in their national interest , ” said Dobber , adding that Astra and regulators were making safety and tolerability a top priority .
AstraZeneca is one of the 25 pharmaceutical companies across the world , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to combat the deadly virus .
And , of course , if testing yields positive results , AstraZeneca could manufacture hundreds of millions of doses , with no legal recourse if side effects are seen .
European officials told Reuters that product liability was a significant discussion to secure new vaccine drugs from Pfizer , Sanofi , and Johnson & Johnson .
As for the US , well , when it comes to the legal framework around vaccines , the US Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) already has a law called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ PREP ) Act , which provides immunity to vaccine companies if something goes wrong .
With AstraZeneca , and many US big pharma companies rushing COVID-19 vaccines to market with governments granting them immunity if the vaccine has side effects , all suggest corporate elites and government regulators have very little faith in these drugs .
For more color on leading vaccines in development that produce “ severe ” side effects , read our latest piece titled “ Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Induced Adverse Reactions In “ More Than Half ” Of Trial Participants.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ for optics , get consumers back into airplanes , hotels , resorts , and malls .
The major red flag is how governments are allowing big pharma to rush experimental vaccines , with no legal recourse if something goes terribly wrong .

prisonplanet--2020-08-03--Former Clinton Press Secretary Urges Biden “Whatever You Do, Don’t Debate Trump”

Former Clinton Press Secretary Urges Biden “ Whatever You Do , Don ’ t Debate Trump ” Bill Clinton ’ s former press secretary has urged Joe Biden not to debate President Trump , claiming that “ it ’ s a fool ’ s errand ” because Trump will not ‘ follow the rules ’ .
Appearing on CNN over the weekend , Joe Lockhart followed up an op-ed urging that Biden will be consumed by having to ‘ fact check ’ everything Trump says .
“ Whatever you do , don ’ t debate Trump , ” Lockhart wrote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump has now made more than 20,000 misleading or false statements according to the Washington Post.
” “ It ’ s a fool ’ s errand to enter the ring with someone who can ’ t follow the rules or the truth , lockhart continued , adding that “ Biden will undoubtedly take heat from Republicans and the media for skipping the debates .
But it ’ s worth the risk as trying to debate someone incapable of telling the truth is an impossible contest to win.
” Trump “ will take the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be in the position of correcting him over and over and over again .
I don ’ t think he should give him that platform.
” Lockhart said during the CNN interview .
No mention , however , of the fact that many on the left do not want Biden to debate Trump because they know Biden is prone to complete brain freezes and his own untruthful statements , such as a recent assertion that 120 MILLION Americans have died from Coronavirus , and 150 MILLION have died from gun violence .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ per cent of Americans believe Biden is capable of debating Trump .
The survey also found that almost a third ( 29 per cent ) of voters thought it would have no impact on Biden ’ s campaign if he refused to debate Trump , while 56 per cent thought it would hurt his candidacy .
Biden recently asserted that he is “ constantly tested ” for cognitive decline .
“ Look , all you got to do is watch me and I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ m running against , ” Biden declared .
Other polls show that 38 per cent of American voters think Biden has “ some form of dementia , ” including one in five Democrats .
61 per cent of voters also think Biden should address the dementia issue publicly .
Trump has noted that it is highly concerning that his rival for the Presidential election can not even speak properly .
“ Whenever he does talk , he can ’ t put two sentences together , ” Trump said .
“ It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ’ s too bad , because I do , except we are talking about the presidency of the United States , and it is just not acceptable.
” Trump added .

prisonplanet--2020-08-03--Professor Calls For Halt To ‘Terrorising’ Coronavirus Reaction By ‘Narrow Minded Scientific Elite’

Professor Calls For Halt To ‘ Terrorising ’ Coronavirus Reaction By ‘ Narrow Minded Scientific Elite ’ “ It is time for a sense of proportion ” A UK sociology professor has penned an impassioned editorial calling for governments to stop “ terrorising ” people with extreme reactionary measures in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic , saying that a “ sense of proportion ” is desperately needed .
Writing in the Express , Robert Dingwall , professor of sociology at Nottingham Trent University , called the virus a “ nasty infection ” that “ simply brought deaths forward be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been linked to about 50,000 deaths in the first 16 weeks of the UK pandemic – but about 1,000 people normally die every week , ” the professor urges .
“ In the past five weeks , fewer than usual have died .
Covid-19 simply bought deaths forward by a few weeks or months , ” Dingwall adds , noting that over 80 % of victims all had serious underlying conditions anyway .
“ Six months into this pandemic , we have learnt that it will not wipe out human life on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infection and every death represents a person loved by someone .
But it is time for a sense of proportion , ” Dingwall asserts .
The Professor describes a “ narrow minded scientific elite ” risking eradication of “ industry , commerce , trade , travel , arts , leisure , learning , sports , culture , liberty and privacy ” with extreme lockdown measures .
“ We have this very strong message which has effectively terrorised the population into believing that this is a disease that is going to kill you .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Dingwall has previously noted , adding that “ We have completely lost sight of that in the obsession with deaths.
” “ We will imprison ourselves in our homes , too scared to venture far , to mix with others , to learn from diversity , to have new experiences and discover new ideas , ” the professor warns in his latest op-ed .
Pointing to the US constitution , Dingwall adds that “ It is not an accident that the US constitution gives equal weight to ‘ life , liberty and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guiding principles for government.
” “ A pandemic may be a chance for some medical leaders to impose their ideas of how people should live – but it does not mean they should be allowed to do so , ” he urges .
Dingwall concludes that “ The only questions about death are when and how.
” “ Reasonable people might prefer longer lives to shorter ones .
But they also have a right to be concerned about the quality of those lives .
There is a real danger of slipping into a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only purpose in life.
” he further warns , adding that “ It is time to stop ‘ following the science ’ and to recognise we are making choices about the sort of society we want to live in.
” “ The alternative is to huddle in our homes , hide our faces from one another , and gradually grow poorer , ” the professor proclaims .

prisonplanet--2020-08-03--The Fed Is Planning To Send Money Directly To Americans In The Next Crisis

The Fed Is Planning To Send Money Directly To Americans In The Next Crisis Over the past decade , the one common theme despite the political upheaval and growing social and geopolitical instability , was that the market would keep marching higher and the Fed would continue injecting liquidity into the system .
The second common theme is that despite sparking unprecedented asset price inflation , price as measured across the broader economy ( at least using the flawed CPI metric ) would remain subdued ( as a reminder , the Fed is desperate to ignite broad inflation as that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of excess debt can be eliminated and yet it has so far failed to do so ) .
The Fed ’ s failure to reach its inflation target has sparked broad criticism from the economic establishment , even though as we showed in June , deflation is now a direct function of the Fed ’ s unconventional monetary policies as the lower yields slide , the lower the propensity to spend .
In other words , the harder the Fed fights to stimulate inflation , the more deflation and more saving it spurs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not the first time this “ discovery ” was made , in December we wrote “ One Bank Makes A Stunning Discovery – The Fed ’ s Rate Cuts Are Now Deflationary “ ) .
In short , ever since the Fed launched QE and NIRP , it has been making the situation it has been trying to “ fix ” even worse , all the while blowing a massive asset price bubble .
And having recently accepted that its preferred stimulus pathway has failed to boost the broader economy , the blame @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intermediated , specifically the way the Fed creates excess reserves which end up at commercial banks instead of “ tricking down ” all the way to the consumer level .
To be in the aftermath of the covid pandemic shutdowns the Fed has tried to short-circuit this process , and in conjunction with the Treasury it has launched “ helicopter money ” which has resulted in a direct transfer of funds to US corporations via PPP loans , as well as to end consumers via the emergency $ 600 weekly unemployment benefits which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Congress as explained last week , as Democrats and Republicans feud over which fiscal stimulus will be implemented next .
Ad yet , the lament is that even as the economy was desperately in need of a massive liquidity tsunami , the funds created by the Fed and Treasury ( now that the US operates under a quasi-MMT regime ) did not make their way to those who need them the most : end consumers .
Which is why we read with great interest a Bloomberg interview published on Saturday with two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who led the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ’ s markets group i.e.
, he was the head of the Fed ’ s Plunge Protection Team for years , and Julia Coronado , who spent eight years as an economist for the Fed ’ s Board of Governors , who are among the innovators brainstorming solutions to what has emerged as the most crucial and difficult problem facing the Fed : get money swiftly to people who need it most in a crisis .
The response was striking : they two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ call recession insurance bonds , which draw on some of the advances in digital payments , which will be wired instantly to Americans .
As Coronado explains the details , Congress would grant the Federal Reserve an additional tool for providing support—say , a percent of GDP [ in a lump sum that would be divided equally and distributed ] to households in a recession .
Recession insurance bonds would be zero-coupon securities , a contingent asset of households that would basically lie in wait .
The trigger could be reaching the zero @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as economist Claudia Sahm has proposed , a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate .
The Fed would then activate the securities and deposit the funds digitally in households ’ apps .
As Potter then elucidates , “ it took Congress too long to get money to people , and it ’ s too clunky .
We need a separate infrastructure .
The Fed could buy the bonds quickly without going to the private market .
On March 15 they could have said interest rates are now at zero , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bonds , and we ’ ll be tracking the unemployment rate—if it increases above this level , we ’ ll buy more .
The bonds will be on the asset side of the Fed ’ s balance sheet ; the digital dollars in people ’ s accounts will be on the liability side.
” And that , in a nutshell , is how the Fed will stimulate the economy in the next crisis in hopes of circumventing the reserve creation process : it will use digital money apps ( which explains the Fed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ digital money ) to transfer money directly to US consumers .
To be sure , the narrative is already set for how the Fed will “ sell ” this direct transfer of money to the rest of the world and the broader US population : as Coronado explains “ it ’ s the most efficient from a macroeconomic standpoint in supporting spending and confidence .
The fear of unemployment acts as an accelerant on a recession .
There ’ s a shock—people are losing their jobs or worry about losing their jobs .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] getting money to consumers you can limit the depth and duration of a recession.
” So there you have it : the one thing that was missing from a decade of monetary tinkering by the Fed , the spark of inflation , will finally arrive as the Fed gives money to those most likely to spend it : the lower and middle classes of society .
But wait , there ’ s more : now that the Fed is implicitly focusing on racial inequality , and soon explicitly with Joe Biden going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to fight “ racial economic inequality ” and former Minneapolis Fed president Kocherlakota writing an op-ed in which he said the Fed “ should have a third mandate on racial inquality “ , the stage is now set for the Fed to specifically release funds for those who have “ suffered from inequality ” , and once the time comes when the narrative allows to deploy reparations or direct funding to minorities , the Fed will be ready .
Below we republish the Bloomberg Markets interview with Coronado and Potter because it lays @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the next monetary stimulus will look like now that helicopter money is fully engaged and money is about to be sent by the Fed directly to those Americans the Fed finds to be “ in need.
” JULIA CORONADO : Congress would grant the Federal Reserve an additional tool for providing support—say , a percent of GDP [ in a lump sum that would be divided equally and distributed ] to households in a recession .
Recession insurance bonds would be zero-coupon securities , a contingent asset of households that would basically lie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reaching the zero lower bound on interest rates or , as economist Claudia Sahm has proposed , a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate .
The Fed would then activate the securities and deposit the funds digitally in households ’ apps .
And so instead of these gyrations we ’ ve been going through to get money to households , it would happen instantaneously .
SIMON POTTER : It took Congress too long to get money to people , and it ’ s too clunky .
We need a separate infrastructure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quickly without going to the private market .
On March 15 they could have said interest rates are now at zero , we ’ re activating X amount of the bonds , and we ’ ll be tracking the unemployment rate—if it increases above this level , we ’ ll buy more .
The bonds will be on the asset side of the Fed ’ s balance sheet ; the digital dollars in people ’ s accounts will be on the liability side .
BM : Aside from speed , what are the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : It ’ s the most efficient from a macroeconomic standpoint in supporting spending and confidence .
The fear of unemployment acts as an accelerant on a recession .
There ’ s a shock—people are losing their jobs or worry about losing their jobs .
They get very risk-averse .
[ By ] getting money to consumers you can limit the depth and duration of a recession .
And you could actually generate real inflation .
It could be beneficial for not only avoiding negative rates but creating a more healthy interest-rate market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ BM : What are the origins of the idea ?
JC : The Bank of England has proposals for digital currency .
And a number of people have talked about the need for monetary financing—the idea that the interest-rate tool is simply less effective in lower growth , slower credit growth economies .
Helicopter money [ making direct payments to the public ] goes back to Milton Friedman , but Ben Bernanke revisited it .
Some people proposed doing that through financing fiscal stimulus .
We think going directly to consumers is more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ process .
BM : This policy could be complementary to Treasury stimulus ?
JC : It ’ s not a replacement for fiscal policy .
It makes sense from a fiscal perspective , for example , to authorize unemployment insurance benefits for people who lose their jobs and other assistance for medical-care providers in the current situation .
SP : The central bank is not elected .
It can not make allocation decisions about fiscal transfers .
It ’ s now being pushed to make allocation decisions around credit with the Treasury , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unique that the private sector can not make those decisions itself .
The simplest way to do this would be a lump sum .
Not in the way Congress did it .
We ’ d take the bluntness of monetary policy and say anyone who ’ s eligible should get the same amount of bonds .
Fiscal controls could use the same infrastructure .
The imperative to invest in it is high .
Nearly all Treasury payments at some point touch the Fed because it ’ s the Treasury ’ s bank .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Bank of England proposal—would manage these accounts and link them to the Fed and Treasury .
BM : What are the objections from the Fed , and other challenges ?
SP : The reaction from some of my former colleagues a while ago to the notion of helicopter money was not the most embracing .
Some of those concerns have disappeared .
The two objections were related to the switch of deposits in normal times from the traditional banking system into digital accounts and the extra stress in crisis times as people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the central bank is safe because the central bank can always print money to honor that claim .
A private bank can ’ t do that because their asset side has all kinds of credit on it .
What we ’ ve created is a narrow bank-type model [ narrow banks only take deposits and invest them in the safest assets ] that ’ s small and fit for purpose , with a cap of $ 10,000 [ per person ] .
JC : One challenge is making it profitable for digital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the fees so we ’ re reaching people that are underbanked , but we also want a public-private partnership with a diversity of competitors jumping into this market .
Privacy is just as important , because one thing that might induce them is access to people ’ s data .
As the Fed , are you blessing that , and what structure do you put around that ?
SP : We ’ ll all have to deal with deep questions of privacy in the digital world .
One of the issues Congress had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who ’ s got mainly tip income , who doesn ’ t have sick days .
If society wanted , you could use large datasets to direct fiscal transfers to those people .
But that ’ s a job for Congress .
BM : Have you seen similar trials elsewhere ?
SP : Sweden is a leader in thinking about this in part because they had a large decline in cash use .
China is testing versions of digital currency .
Fintech firms in the U.S. are interested in this—there ’ s a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There ’ s easily sufficient innovation within the U.S. to do this .
How to do it in a way that ’ s well regulated and serving the public purpose is something the Fed should focus on over the next few years .
It would be a key accomplishment of the Fed and Treasury to get this infrastructure in place .

Police officers in Portland , Oregon rescued a live pig that was due to be publicly slaughtered by far-left rioters as part of an anti-police protest .
“ In the early weeks of the riots , a pig was found abandoned near downtown Portland in the middle of the night , ” the Post Millennial ’ s Andy Ngo wrote on Friday .
“ Police rescued the animal .
It is believed a protester was going to kill the pig as an act of anti-police protest but abandoned it last minute.
” The Oregonian reported that the pig was named @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of swine .
It was found by police officers asleep in a flower bed near the Portland waterfront .
“ Someone had brought the pig there to ‘ sacrifice it to end all police brutality , ’ ” said animal rights activist Mary McDonald-Lewis , who cared for the pig until law enforcement arrived .
McDonald-Lewis specifically told police that the pig would be beheaded , stating that the “ animal was going to be slaughtered so its head could be used in the protest ” .
The word “ pig ” is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for police officers by left-wing extremists .
“ SAV ’ N LIVES .. ONE HOG AT A TIME !

” he wrote on Facebook .
“ Last nights nut jobs decided they were going to sacrifice a pig at the protest and cut its head off .
[ Portland Police Bureau ] said HELL NO and took custody of the little lady.
” Betty was subsequently rehomed by Pelster in a nearby animal sanctuary to live out the rest of her life .
“ It ’ s going to live out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” he added .
“ It ’ s not headed to the slaughterhouse.
” Pig heads have become a feature of Portland protests .
Ngo noted that on Friday , a decapitated pig head with a police cap was set on fire by Antifa rioters to send a message to police .
Antifa protesters dumped a bloody severed pig 's head on an American flag outside the Justice Center in downtown Portland .
They put a cop 's hat on it and set all of it on fire .
# PortlandRiots # @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decapitated heads and burning bodies by Antifa appears eerily reminiscent of the beheadings and immolation infamously perpetrated by the Islamic State terror network in the Middle East during the mid-2010s .
President Trump has declared that he is seeking to similarly designate Antifa as a terrorist organization for its violent and anti-American activities over the past two months .

Microsoft says talks over TikTok ’ s potential purchase to wrap up by September 15 in ‘ any event ’ after CEO speaks with Trump Microsoft has said it will “ move quickly ” in its talks with ByteDance to buy TikTok , after CEO Satya Nadella discussed the issue with US President Donald Trump , who threatened to ban the popular Chinese app .
In a statement on its official blog on Sunday , Microsoft confirmed that discussions between the tech giant and the owner of TikTok , Chinese company ByteDance , are underway , vowing to complete them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” whatever the outcome .
Microsoft said that if a “ preliminary proposal ” communicated to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ( CFIUS ) between the companies is to be made final , it would see the US technology giant purchasing TikTok services in the US , Canada , Australia and New Zealand .
The company said that it “ appreciates the importance ” of addressing Trump ’ s concerns about purported security risks presented by TikTok , adding that it “ looks forward ” to continuing dialogue with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thrash out a deal with ByteDance .
Microsoft appreciates the US government ’ s and President Trump ’ s personal involvement as it continues to develop strong security protections for the country Under the scope of the agreement , which is currently in the works , Microsoft said it would make certain that all the private data that Americans had shared with the app would be “ transferred to and remains in the US.
” As far as US users ’ data that had already ended up outside the US is concerned , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ensure ” it is wiped from foreign servers after the transfer .
Microsoft ’ s acknowledgement of the talks coincides with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying that Trump might “ take action in the coming days ” to deal with a “ broad array of national security risks ” stemming from companies that Washington believes are in bed with Beijing .
The talks between Microsoft and ByteDance had been reportedly put on hold after Trump announced on Friday that he might ban the app within 24 hours either through an executive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reportedly opposing the deal between the US-based company and the Chinese firm .

Stories Of Economic Despair From America’s Worst Economic Downturn Since The Great Depression Of The 1930s

Stories Of Economic Despair From America ’ s Worst Economic Downturn Since The Great Depression Of The 1930s The economic pain that we are witnessing right now is far greater than anything that we witnessed during the last recession .
U.S. GDP declined by 32.9 percent on an annualized basis last quarter , more than 100,000 businesses have permanently shut down since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit the United States , and more than 54 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits over the last 19 weeks .
Up until just recently , a $ 600 weekly unemployment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that prevented many evictions had helped to ease the suffering for millions of American families , but both of those measures have now expired .
As a result , a tremendous amount of economic pain which had previously been deferred will now come rushing back with a vengeance .
Millions of American families are no longer going to be able to pay their bills , and experts are warning that we could soon see an “ eviction crisis ” that is absolutely unprecedented in American history .
48-year-old Thomas Darnell of West Point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be in this position .
He had been a factory worker for over 20 years until he lost his job in May , and since then he hasn ’ t been able to find another .
And then on top of everything else , everyone in his house caught COVID-19… First , he was furloughed for three weeks in April and then laid off in May .
Then things got worse : His entire household of seven , including himself , his wife , three kids and daughter-in-law , along with his baby @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their immediate family over the Independence Day weekend .
“ I ’ m tired and shaky .
Even after a few weeks , I ’ m still trying to recover , ” Darnell says , who has since been cleared of the virus but still has lingering symptoms .
He is concerned that employers will be scared away by his recent illness , and he is becoming desperate because he is running out of money .
With no health insurance and no paychecks coming in , Darnell and his wife have gotten to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a choice between buying insulin or buying groceries… The weekly $ 600 unemployment supplements from the federal government had helped to keep them going for a while , but now those payments have ended , and the immediate future is looking quite bleak .
In Richmond , Virginia , a mother of eight named Shamika Rollins wasn ’ t sure how she was going to make it when her hours as a home health aid were reduced .
Unpaid bills started piling up , and then she got an eviction notice a few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CBS News… If a miracle does not happen , Rollins and her eight children will soon be out in the street , and this is causing her to have “ a lot of sleepless nights ” … Sadly , there are millions of other Americans in the exact same position .
In fact , experts are projecting that up to 40 million Americans could be evicted from their homes during this pandemic .
Many small business owners are also facing heartbreaking choices during this downturn .
A restaurant owner in Delaware named Alex @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mortgage on his home the past four months ” as he desperately tries to keep his once profitable restaurants alive… The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the restaurant industry particularly hard .
Americans are not eating out as regularly as they once did because of the virus , and it is probably going to remain that way for the foreseeable future .

For other Americans , this economic downturn has put their very lives at risk .

prisonplanet--2020-08-03--Shock Survey Finds That Funding Is Being Reduced For “Nearly Half” Of All Major City Police Departme

Shock Survey Finds That Funding Is Being Reduced For “Nearly Half” Of All Major City Police Departments In America

Shock Survey Finds That Funding Is Being Reduced For “ Nearly Half ” Of All Major City Police Departments In America In recent weeks there has been a tremendous amount of debate about whether police departments around the country should be “ defunded ” or not , but what most Americans don ’ t realize is that it is already happening on a massive scale .
At a time when crime rates are absolutely soaring and civil unrest is raging in major cities across the nation , police budgets are being deeply cut and in some cities there is talk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knew that a few cities had already made moves in this direction , but I had no idea that it was happening on such a widespread basis .
According to a report prepared by the Police Executive Research Forum , nearly half of the law enforcement agencies that they surveyed “ are reporting that funding has already been slashed or is expected to be reduced ” … Nearly half of 258 agencies surveyed this month are reporting that funding has already been slashed or is expected to be reduced , according to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Police Executive Research Forum , a non-partisan research organization .
Much of the funding is being pulled from equipment , hiring and training accounts , even as a number of cities also are tracking abrupt spikes in violent crime , the report concluded .
And in most cases we are not talking about small cuts .
Police funding in Los Angeles has been reduced by 15o million dollars , and police funding in New York has been slashed by a total of one billion dollars .
In Seattle , there had been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 50 percent , but apparently that wasn ’ t good enough for some people and so now a measure has been introduced that would completely “ abolish the entire Seattle Police Department ” … If you live in the Seattle area and you are concerned that in the future you may not have anyone to call if someone breaks into your home , you can rest assured that someone will still be on the other end of the line when you call 911 .
But instead of a police officer with a gun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a “ community safety official ” armed with “ science ” and “ reason ” come pedaling out to your place on his or her bike to perform a “ mental health evaluation ” on the individual that you are having a “ disagreement ” with .
Minneapolis is another major city that is considering doing away with the police entirely , but for now the MPD is still operating .
However , right now they are being completely overwhelmed by a massive crime wave that has erupted in the city , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ precinct residents they told citizens to be “ prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet ” … I don ’ t know about you , but I would not have been comforted if I had received that email .
Chicago is dealing with an enormous crime wave as well .
At this point , so many people are being gunned down in the city that it is making headlines all over the globe… In Los Angeles , it is property crime that is making headlines , and the latest numbers show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an all-time record high last quarter… But it really isn ’ t fair to point out just a couple of cities because the crime wave that we are facing is actually national in scope .
Never before have we seen such a dramatic spike in crime in such a short period of time .
The following comes from Fox News… In such an environment , does it really make sense to “ defund the police ” ?
Unfortunately , you and I are not the ones making the decisions , and right now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coast to coast .
Meanwhile , civil unrest continues to simmer in many of our largest cities .
For example , protesters in Portland just made headlines by burning an American flag and a Bible… Sadly , what we have experienced so far is just the beginning .
The upcoming election certainly has the potential to trigger more protests and more riots , and the severe economic downturn that we are currently experiencing will add fuel to the fire as well .
Everywhere you look , people are angry and frustrated , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the seams all around us .
It is at such a moment that politicians all over America have decided to radically cut police funding , and needless to say this is going to have very serious implications for every man , woman and child in the entire country .

US Announces New Action Against “ Array ” Of Chinese Software Companies Update ( 1850ET ) : The SCMP is reporting that WeChat , a popular chat app developed and run by Chinese tech giant Tencent , will also be targeted by the Trump administration along with TikTok .

Ever since President Trump said late Friday that a ban on the popular social media app TikTok was “ imminent ” , talks between ByteDance , the owner of TikTok and a separate app called “ Douyin ” – ( equivalent to “ TikTok ” in English ) which is similar to TikTok in many ways , but is a different app built to operate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collapsed .
Media reports claimed that , after being courted by a group of VC firms , ByteDance was in advanced talks to sell TikTok to Microsoft .
But those talks have apparently stalled .

Pompeo signaled he expects a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Chinese software companies doing business in the US are working with Chinese State Security : “ whether it ’ s TikTok or WeChat , there are countless more , ” Pompeo said during an interview on Fox New ’ s “ Sunday Morning Futures ” program .

prisonplanet--2020-08-03--Dr. Deborah Birx Says Americans May Have to Start Wearing Masks Inside Their Own Homes

Dr. Deborah Birx Says Americans May Have to Start Wearing Masks Inside Their Own Homes Dr. Deborah Birx has suggested that Americans may have to start wearing masks inside their own homes in order to fight the spread of coronavirus .
“ What we are seeing today is different from March and April .
It is extraordinarily widespread .
It ’ s into the rural as equal urban areas , ” Birx told CNN .
She then suggested that some Americans may need to cover their faces inside their own homes in order to protect other family members .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and there ’ s an outbreak in your rural area or in your city , you need to really consider wearing a mask at home , ” said Birx .
The doctor ’ s advice echoes that of the Texas Division of Emergency Management head Nim Kidd , who said people should wear masks indoors if they have potentially exposed themselves to the virus by being outside .
Florida ’ s state Democrats have also called for mandatory mask orders which would enforce wearing them inside homes , while residents of Miami @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by mayors to wear masks indoors .
Of course , enforcing mandatory mask orders inside people ’ s homes would require the kind of draconian police action only seen during times of martial law .
The efficacy of wearing masks to stop the spread of coronavirus is still highly disputed , despite media attempts to publicly shame those who refuse to wear them .
As we previously highlighted , the Netherlands has refused to enforce the wearing of masks , while health authorities in Sweden have described them as “ pointless.

“ Lockdown 2.0 was quickly imposed , a few postcode areas first then all of metropolitan Melbourne .

“ Before President Trump wished Ghislaine Maxwell ‘ well , ’ they had mingled for years in the same gilded circles.
” The Washington Post attempted to connect elite pedophile Jeffrey Epstein with President Trump following unsealing of court documents , yet completely ignored witness assertions that Bill Clinton was present on the infamous ‘ pedo island ’ in the Caribbean .

” The article laboured on Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the President told reporters “ I wish her well , frankly , ” when he was asked about what could happen if Maxwell exposed elite figures and their connections to child sex trafficking .

Ron Paul : Europeans Are Waking Up To Government COVID Tyranny .
Why Are Americans Still Asleep ?
Tens of thousands of Germans marched through Berlin on Saturday , proclaiming a “ Day of Freedom ” and demanding an end to government-mandated face masks and “ social distancing.
” The UK and Netherlands also saw large protests against their governments ’ tyrannical actions in response to the coronavirus outbreak .
According to media accounts , the Berlin protesters held signs reading “ We are being forced to wear a muzzle , ” “ Natural defense instead of vaccination , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you are stealing our freedom !
” The New York Times Tweeted that the masses of Berlin demonstrators were all “ Nazis ” and “ conspiracy theorists.
” Does the “ paper of record ” really want us to believe there were perhaps a million Nazis active in the streets of Berlin ?
Wouldn ’ t that be alarming ?
The fact is , Europeans are realizing that their government-mandated lockdowns did little or nothing to protect them from the virus , while causing economic catastrophe and untold human suffering .
They likely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which never locked down its economy , rejected face masks , and kept its restaurants and other places of business open , did not fare any worse than the countries that have been turned into open air prisons for much of the year .
In fact , Sweden had a lower death rate from the virus than strict lockdown states like the UK and France .
No wonder people are starting to get angry .
Unfortunately , while the Europeans are waking up , Americans are still asleep as our freedoms continue to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end to government tyranny , here we see states with minuscule new deaths returning to lockdown .
It is as if all the wannabe tyrants from mayors to governors are finally realizing their secret dreams of ruling by decree .
Their dreams are our nightmares !
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy put citizens “ on notice ” that he will lock the state back down if people dare to go outside without a face mask or even to have guests inside their own homes !
What kind of politician puts his own constituents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not as if the “ experts ” are even looking into treatments for the viral infection .
Doctors who report their own successful experience treating Covid patients with hydroxychloroquine , for example , are ridiculed , censored , and even fired from their jobs .
The rush to silence “ America ’ s Frontline Doctors ” last week and to disappear their video down the memory hole should terrify anybody who still believes in free speech .
No , they say , we must keep locked down and masked until we have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ billions into a vaccine that may be less than 60 percent effective to prevent a virus that has something like a 99.8 percent survival rate .
What kind of math is that ?
How many may be harmed more by the vaccine than helped ?
We ’ ll probably never know because the US government has just granted big pharma immunity from liability claims if the vaccine produces damaging side effects .
They keep moving the goal posts to keep us terrified and isolated .
First it was body counts and then “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wildly off that it ’ s hard to trust any reporting .
People are getting angry .
They are confused .
They are facing an economic depression of historic proportions .
But worst of all , they are watching as Leviathan government snatches every last bit of freedom .
Three cheers for the Europeans !
Let ’ s hope America wakes up soon !

prisonplanet--2020-08-04--Your Phone Is Spying On You, And Companies Are Generating Secret “Surveillance Scores” Based On That

Your Phone Is Spying On You, And Companies Are Generating Secret “Surveillance Scores” Based On That Information

Your Phone Is Spying On You , And Companies Are Generating Secret “ Surveillance Scores ” Based On That Information Nothing that you do on your phone is private .
In this day and age , most of us have become extremely dependent on our phones , and most Americans never even realize that these extremely sophisticated little devices are gathering mountains of information on each one of us .
Your phone knows what you look like , it knows the sound of your voice , it knows where you have been , it knows where you have shopped , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knows what you like to do in your free time .
In fact , your phone literally knows thousands of things about you , and all of that information is bought and sold every single day without you knowing .
And as you will see below , there are lots of companies out there that use information collected from our phones to create secret “ surveillance scores ” that are used for a whole host of alarming purposes .
It is really important to understand that your phone is a surveillance device .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ phone seem so perfectly tailored for you is because of all the information that your phone has gathered on you previously .
To this day , many people are still amazed when they see an ad pop up for something that they were just talking with a friend about , but that doesn ’ t happen by accident .
The following comes from Fox News… Industry experts insist that our phones are not actively “ eavesdropping ” on us , but they do admit that our phones are “ actually spying on us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come to accept targeted ads as a part of life , but what most people don ’ t realize is that the information our phones gather is being used for far more intrusive purposes .
“ Surveillance scores ” are being created , and these “ surveillance scores ” seem quite similar to the “ social credit scores ” that China has been compiling since 2014 .
In China , if you do good things like paying your taxes or taking a parent to the doctor , your social credit score will go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of things that will cause your social credit score to go down… And if your social credit score gets too low , the consequences can be quite dramatic… Here in the United States , private companies are doing something very similar .
Information collected from our phones is being used to create secret “ surveillance scores ” , and selling those scores has become very big business .
The following comes from the Houston Chronicle… And just like China ’ s system , high scores come with rewards and low scores come with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can determine whether or not someone will rent a property to you , whether or not you will be hired for a job , and even how long you will have to wait for customer service… CoreLogic and TransUnion say that scores they peddle to landlords can predict whether a potential tenant will pay the rent on time , be able to “ absorb rent increases , ” or break a lease .
Large employers use HireVue , a firm that generates an “ employability ” score about candidates by analyzing “ tens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a person ’ s facial expressions and voice intonations .
Other employers use Cornerstone ’ s score , which considers where a job prospect lives and which web browser they use to judge how successful they will be at a job .
Brand-name retailers purchase “ risk scores ” from Retail Equation to help make judgments about whether consumers commit fraud when they return goods for refunds .
Players in the gig economy use outside firms such as Sift to score consumers ’ “ overall trustworthiness.
” Wireless customers predicted to be less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ customer service hold times .
To me , all of this is extremely creepy .
Eventually , it may get to a point where you are basically a societal outcast if you are not willing to conform to a particular set of politically-correct standards , values and behaviors .
You may not get thrown in jail the moment you do something “ unacceptable ” , but your phone will be watching you every step of the way .
Each mistake that you make will be recorded by your phone , and that information @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the rest of your life .
I know that all of this sounds very strange , but without a doubt we are living in very strange times .
My advice would be to only use your phone when necessary , but of course the vast majority of the population will never listen to such advice .
Most of us have become highly addicted to these marvelous little devices , and in the process we are helping the elite construct a system of surveillance and control that is unlike anything ever seen before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ article was posted : Tuesday , August 4 , 2020 at 3:31 am


prisonplanet--2020-08-04--The Underground Bunker Business Is Booming As Global Events Spiral Out Of Control

The Underground Bunker Business Is Booming As Global Events Spiral Out Of Control This is a really good time to be selling underground bunkers .
The COVID-19 pandemic , civil unrest in major U.S. cities , and concern about what else may be coming have combined to create a tremendous amount of demand for “ survival real estate ” .
In all my years of writing , I have never seen anything like this .
I have been hearing from so many people that suddenly feel a great urgency to prepare for the total collapse of society , and quite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relocated or plan to do so in the near future .
For some , moving entirely out of the country seems like the best option , but for most others the goal is to find a way to survive the coming chaos here in the United States .
Of course a lot of people are still tied to major population centers by their jobs , and for a lot of those individuals a “ survival bunker ” in a remote location that they can bug out to if things get crazy enough is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , one company has established the “ largest survival community on Earth ” , and the New York Post recently interviewed a 69-year-old man named Tom Soulsby that purchased one of the very first underground bunkers in that community… For a while there , sales were not happening too briskly .
But then 2020 happened , and at this point sales of underground bunkers at Vivos xPoint are “ up over 600 percent ” … I really admire what they are trying to do , and I am sure that having major news @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but it will also make the community a target when things really do hit the fan .
Another project that has been making a lot of headlines is “ the Survival Condo ” in central Kansas .
It is completely underground , and it was originally designed to survive a nuclear war… This converted nuclear silo has been described as an “ underground skyscraper ” , and this is how author Bradley Garrett described his visit to “ Level 11 ” … It sounds quite lovely , but the units are not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at more than a million dollars… The company selling the units insists that the location is super secret , but if that is actually the case it probably is not a good idea to let reporters roam around inside the facility with a film crew .
In any event , only the ultra-wealthy will get to live there , because most Americans could never even dream of being able to afford such an elaborate bug out location .
But all of us should be doing what we can to get prepared for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things are about to get really , really crazy .
We live in truly unprecedented times , and what we have experienced so far is just the beginning .
As global events spiral out of control , many among the elite will be heading for their underground bunkers , and some are already there… As coronavirus infections tore across the U.S. in early March , a Silicon Valley executive called the survival shelter manufacturer Rising S Co .
He wanted to know how to open the secret door to his multimillion-dollar bunker 11 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tech chief had never used the bunker and couldn ’ t remember how to unlock it , said Gary Lynch , general manager of Texas-based Rising S Co. “ He wanted to verify the combination for the door and was asking questions about the power and the hot water heater and whether he needed to take extra water or air filters , ” Lynch said .
The businessman runs a company in the Bay Area but lives in New York , which was fast becoming the world ’ s coronavirus epicenter .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ luxury underground bunker in New Zealand .
Unfortunately , most Americans are going to have to deal with whatever is ahead right where they are currently located .
But whether you have an underground bunker or not , the truth is that challenging times are coming for all of us , and no amount of money is going to change that .

prisonplanet--2020-08-04--COVID-19 Vaccine Could Mean Regular Injections, No Guarantee Of Immunity

COVID-19 Vaccine Could Mean Regular Injections , No Guarantee Of Immunity While Dr. Anthony Fauci says he ’ s hopeful that a COVID-19 vaccine will be available ‘ by late fall or early winter , ’ it may not be as simple as one jab for a lifetime of immunity , according to the LA Times .
For starters , a COVID-19 vaccine can be released if it ’ s ‘ safe and proves effective ’ on as few as 50 % of those who receive it , according to recently released federal guidelines .
What ’ s more , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it simply has to ‘ minimize the most serious symptoms , ’ according to the report .
“ We should anticipate the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine to be similar to the influenza vaccine , ” said Dr. Kathleen Neuzil , director of the Center for Vaccine Development at the University of Maryland .
“ That vaccine may or may not keep people from being infected with the virus , but it does keep people out of the hospital and the ICU.
” Because of this , experts say that the first round of COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need for masks , social distancing and other measures .
So – after all the promises made by government officials , a vaccine may only reduce symptoms , and may turn into a recurring shot that only works on half the population .
Developing a vaccine capable of inducing “ sterilizing immunity ” — that is , the ability to prevent the virus from causing an infection — takes time and research , which might not be possible as death tolls continue to rise and the recession grows deeper .
Yet with so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine , there is hope one of them might actually achieve it .
Scientists had studied other coronaviruses — SARS and MERS — and mapped the novel coronavirus ’ genome not long after the first COVID-19 deaths were recorded .
They identified the spike protein on the virus ’ outer shell , which the virus uses to infiltrate the host cell and created a three-dimensional model of the virus to see how antibodies block infection by binding onto the spike protein .
Even so , scientists don ’ t yet know what immunity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ information typically comes from studying the body ’ s natural response to disease .
The number of T-cells and neutralizing antibodies that fight off an infection can become a blueprint for a vaccine .
–LA Times The problem is that “ the novel coronavirus hasn ’ t been around long enough , ” according to Dr. Mark Feinberg , CEO of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative – who noted that an Ebola vaccine went from Phase 1 to Phase 3 clinical results in just 10 months and was nearly 100 % effective within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ administered .
On the bright side , it could reduce the spread of the virus , creating pockets of immunity throughout the country according to Dr. Peter Hoetz , dean of Baylor College of Medicine ’ s National School of Tropical Medicine .
“ Ideally , you want an antiviral vaccine to do two things , ” said Hotez .
“ First , reduce the likelihood you will get severely ill and go to the hospital , and two , prevent infection and therefore interrupt disease transmission.
” For the current pandemic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ high , ” he added .
Meanwhile , Operation Warp Speed – the Trump administration ’ s program to accelerate a vaccine , has a goal of delivering 300 million doses by January .
The program has identified 14 ‘ promising candidates ‘ – of which seven have been identified as front-runners .
Of those , three have had early clinical trials evaluated independently .
The vaccine being developed by Moderna and the National Institutes of Health was deemed “ promising ” in an editorial published in the New England Journal of Medicine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ delivered a similar message for vaccines being developed at Oxford University and by the Chinese company CanSino .
These vaccines have induced an immune response in people participating in early tests , but inducing an immune response does not always mean success in fighting a disease .
For instance , scientists recently developed a vaccine for another respiratory virus that increased antibodies but failed its Phase 3 clinical trial .
–LA Times Other issues puzzling vaccine researchers include why some people produce high levels of neutralizing antibodies to COVID-19 , while others do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that all have recovered , and we do not know how they did this , ” said Feinberg – former chief public and health science officer at Merck .
Moreover , scientists don ’ t know how long immunity lasts , and whether a noted decline in antibodies after just 2-3 months will complicate efforts to find a lasting cure .
“ If we get a vaccine that is 60 % efficacious , we can use the information to identify what distinguishes people who are protected from those who are susceptible , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will know what the minimum target is for an immune response.
” No wonder 70 % of Americans are planning to wait to get the vaccine – or won ’ t get one at all , according to a poll from CBS News – which notes that just 27 % of those over 65 would get the vaccine right away , while liberals are twice as likely than conservatives to get one immediately .

prisonplanet--2020-08-04--First masks, and now a face shield and goggles? It’s time to resist this madness

First masks , and now a face shield and goggles ?
It ’ s time to resist this madness A society obsessed with health is a sure sign of sickness .
The commands coming down from on high are increasing in their absurdity .
Face shields and goggles are next , but there is absolutely zero evidence that any of them work .
Dr Anthony Fauci , the man described as America ’ s top infectious disease expert , has told the American public , “ If you have goggles or an eye shield , you should use it.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tyrant , a little Napoleon who lives to boss others around while he flouts his own stupid rules .
For the moment , it is only a recommendation .
But the lockdown zealots at The Guardian have kicked off their pro-goggle campaign by having some intern write a fluff piece that ends with the sentence : “ It won ’ t be weird if everyone ’ s doing it.
” In a week , they will have the big guns writing pro-goggle op-eds .
In two , police will be fining people not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be compelled to wear full forensic gear inside your own home .
Where will it all end ?
To quote the leftist millennial self-styled journalists reacting to whatever the day ’ s outrage is , “ I ’ m just so tired.
” I will not deign to revisit the scanty literature on face masks to demonstrate that there is no proper evidence that they stop or even hinder the transmission of the virus .
Nor will I do a run-down of the science to show that the chances of catching Covid through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ burden of proof is on those who have suggested their use or made them compulsory .
They will not take up the challenge , because they can not .
Neither have I the inclination to present facts and figures that render ridiculous the scale of governments ’ response to the long-over outbreak .
Again , why should I ?
The evidence of one ’ s own goggle-free eyes is enough .
No one is sick , no one is dying , and no hospitals are inundated owing to Covid .
But the elites @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sky is green , and most people swallow it .
Concepts such as quarantine , sterilisation and the efficacy of masks were developed for the laboratory setting , not the world at large .
There is no such thing as 70 percent , 90 percent or even 99 percent quarantine conditions – something as infinitesimally small as a virus particle , every single one of the ancestors of which , back to the dawn of life on Earth , succeeded in finding a host in which to replicate , can spread as normal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You know , the kind they were supposed to have in the Wuhan BSL-4 lab .
It ’ s time to rise up and resist .
Many fine journalists and doctors have pointed out the dearth of evidence supporting the wearing of face masks .
But not only is there no evidence , there is not even a suggestion that face masks would work .
You ’ ve probably heard by now the analogy of the chain link fence built to stop mosquitos .
You ’ ve asked yourself how surgical masks meant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the hands apply to the public at large .
Perhaps , every once in a while , you are reminded of the fact that it hasn ’ t yet been demonstrated that slowing the spread of the virus is even a good idea .
But why am I wasting my breath arguing ?
What ’ s the point in reason , rationality and debate when those in power are not interested ?
Their actions are determined by one thing and one thing only : “ What should I do to transfer power @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elites ?
” Only this informs Fauci ’ s “ recommendations ” , which next week will be diktats .
Only this instructs the WHO on whatever ludicrous contradiction it trumpets next at the whim of their shady puppet-masters .
This power grab is moving terribly fast , because it ’ s in its endgame .
The elites sense that total victory is at hand .
They have relieved the people of the Anglo sphere of their ancient liberties without so much as a whimper from the downtrodden majority .
There will always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Peter Hitchens , Dr Vernon Coleman , Professors Carl Heneghan and Sunetra Gupta , but , kept outside in the wilderness , they ’ re easily dealt with .
It ’ s time for resistance .
Not just political , but personal .
Do not wear a face mask – not in shops , not on public transport , not anywhere .
Say you have asthma , or offer no explanation .
That ’ s what I ’ ve been doing in the newly despotic UK , thus far without much issue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you into a shop without one , then they can do without your custom .
If you absolutely must wear one , try to get a novelty one like Peter Hitchens ’ – he sports a gas mask – or at least wear a normal one with as much scorn as you can muster .
It ’ s difficult not to conform .
But the stakes could not be higher .

School and Church Closings , Anti-Police Movement Blow up U.S .
Homicide Rate Homicide rates have exploded by double digits and experts blame school and church closings alongside the anti-police movement , reports the Wall Street Journal .
The Wall Street Journal looked at America ’ s 50 biggest cities and found homicides are up an average of a whopping 24 percent across the board .
It is also worth noting , although the Journal tries to spin this as a bipartisan problem , that Democrats ( including the “ progressive ” mayor of San Antonio who identifies as Independent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cities with the biggest jump in homicide rates .
Democrats also run all six of the top six cities with the largest number of homicides , including Democrat-run Chicago , which the Journal notes is responsible for “ more than one of every eight homicides.

The experts the Journal spoke with laid the blame on the closing of schools and churches , and the left ’ s anti-police crusade .

Shootings , Murders Spike By Record In Portland After Disbanding ‘ Gun Violence Reduction Team ’ Violent crime in US metro areas surged this summer amid the pandemic , recession , and social unrest : A perfect storm of distress that is unraveling society .
From Atlanta to Baltimore to New York City to Chicago to Houston to some major Californian metro areas , many of these democratically-controlled cities are facing an eruption in violent crime , including murders and thefts .
Readers may recall some of the cities listed above are the usual suspects when referring to metros with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the US .
Now Portland ’ s liberal utopia appears to be imploding , as murders in July jump .
Portland Police Bureau has responded to 15 homicides in July , which is a three-decade high , reported The Oregonian .
The Portland Metropolitan Area has seen approximately 24 homicides this year .
Besides homicides – assaults , burglaries , and vandalism are also increasing over last year ’ s figures .
Police Chief Chuck Lovell is concerned by the increase in violent crime .
He ’ s shifted officers from patrols to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same time , Lovell said Portland City Hall slashed its budget , which resulted in the massive defunding wave in early July that forced a sizeable cut in its Gun Violence Reduction Team .
Also , there ’ s been at least a month of lawless anarchists destroying property in the area .
The federal government sent in personnel to squash the uprising .
Since the Gun Violence Reduction Team was disbanded on July 1 , Lovell has repeatedly linked it with the struggle to police the city .
In another recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler admitted the city had seen “ an unprecedented escalation of gun violence.
” In the first 12 days of the month , officials witnessed an over 380 percent spike in such violence , compared to the same time period in 2019 .
Liberal cities , ones that have defunded police and allowed anarchists to run wild , are seeing a perfect storm of distress flare up as the virus-induced downturn has unleashed a social-economic bomb .
