Peter Schiff : Americans Are In For A Rude Awakening On Jan. 13 , Peter Schiff appeared on RT Boom Bust with Bubba Horwitz to talk about the yuan , the dollar , the stock market and the US economy .
Peter said the dollar is eventually going to collapse and it ’ s going to be a rude awakening for Americans .
The Chinese yuan has been gaining strength against the dollar in recent weeks , in part because of optimism that there will eventually be a resolution to the trade war .
But the Chinese currency is still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when the US imposed its first tariffs .
Does this mean the markets are cautiously positioning for a deal , or is there still skepticism about the phase 1 deal ?
Peter focused on the bigger picture .
Peter said this is not good news for the US .
It ’ s going to make imports more expensive for Americans , so it ’ s going to reduce our standard of living .
And I do think ultimately , it ’ s going to push up interest rates as well , as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are no longer lending money to Americans , and so we have to draw from our own savings pool , which is extremely shallow .
It means the Federal Reserve is going to be printing a lot more money as it monetizes the debt that the Chinese and other nations no longer want to buy , and this is further going to lower the American standard of living.
” Horwitz said it ’ s hard to get a read on the yuan because it doesn ’ t trade freely .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He said he thinks the Chinese will keep their currency low as long as they can to offset tariffs and keep Americans buying their goods .
He said he doesn ’ t agree with Peter at all that the yuan will explode to the upside .
Peter said , be that as it may , the Chinese have made a mistake undervaluing their currency and they ’ ll eventually figure that out .
They did that deliberately because they wanted to maintain exports to the United States .
But I think that was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it helped America because we got to live beyond our means .
But I don ’ t think it did anything for the Chinese economy .
It helped undermine it .
Because they accumulated a huge pool of US dollars and they ended up doing things with that – created malinvestments and other distortions .
I think the best thing that can happen to China is simply to allow their currency to appreciate , to reduce their exports to the United States because we can ’ t afford to pay for those products @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that production so that their own people can benefit from their hard work .
But unfortunately , Americans are going to have a rude awakening when all of a sudden we have to live within our means .
And our means have been dramatically diminished over the years .
We haven ’ t been investing .
We haven ’ t been saving .
We ’ ve been relying on an overvalued currency to import what the rest of the world produces .
And we haven ’ t saved very much .
We ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all this is going to come back to bite us.
” The stock markets continue to go up , despite a lot of bad economic data .
Horwitz said stocks will continue to go up until they don ’ t , but at some point , the markets will melt down .
Cheap monetary policy has created an environment where investors really have no place else to go .
Horwitz said there is no way to time the crash , but people will have time to get out if they don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Peter said he doesn ’ t think people will have time to get out .
I think with this — this is a bubble .
It ’ s going to pop .
I agree .
there ’ s no way to know how much air they ’ ll successfully blow into it .
The minute it drops , everybody says the correction is over , you got ta buy the dip .
So , I think most people are going to watch all their paper profits vanish … It ’ s not just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to lose dollars when the stock market bubble pops , but the dollar bubble is even bigger .
And when that pops , even the dollars you haven ’ t lost are going to lose most of their value .
So , I think Americans are going to be wiped out in the US stock market and the bond market .
I mean , people are going to be surprised at how much of their wealth they lose playing it safe in the bond market .
Because you ’ re not playing safe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there .
There are no US dollar-denominated assets that can be considered safe right now .
It is a giant casino .
And yeah , you know , people think the economy is good because they managed to blow more air into the stock market bubble and the bond market bubble , but the economy is in worse shape now than it ’ s ever been .
It ’ s in far worse shape than it was before Trump took office , mainly because he continued to pursue the failed policies of Obama @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bush.
” The show opened with a discussion of Boeing and the impact lower aircraft sales could have on the US economy .
Horwitz said this is what happens when a company gets in bed with the government and gets a plane out too fast .
He said he thinks it will hurt US GDP going forward .
The host noted that Boeing has already lost $ 62 billion off its market cap and asked Peter if the company can recover ?
Well , I ’ m sure over the long term , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the short run , certainly , this will weigh on our exports , which also could weigh on the dollar .
You know , I ’ ve been thinking the US dollar was headed lower anyway , but if we end up with bigger trade deficits in part because we have fewer exports of aircraft , that is going to be another factor of many that I think will be weighing down the dollar and the US economy.

Trump Administration Wants To Block More Sales To Huawei As the U.S. and China prepare to sign a Phase 1 trade deal on Wednesday , Reuters is reporting that the Trump administration is nearing publication of a rule that would expand its ability to block shipments of foreign-made goods to Huawei and other blacklisted Chinese companies .
Under the current rule , the U.S. Commerce Department has placed Huawei on a trade blacklist due to national security threats .
This allowed the Trump administration to limit sales of U.S. technology goods to the company but didn ’ t block goods @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China hawks within the administration .
Two sources told Reuters there ’ s a push already underway in the administration to regulate more sales to Huawei that includes a wide variety of low-tech items made in foreign factories with little U.S. technology .
The sources said the Commerce Department has been discussing whether it should increase the De minimis Rule , which dictates how much U.S. content in a foreign-made product gives the U.S. government authority to regulate an export .
The current rule can block the sale of products to Huawei if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S. components in the good .
The new rule will lower the threshold to 10 % and significantly expand the list of foreign goods that the Trump administration can block .
If the new rule is adopted by the Commerce Department , it would further complicate the relations between the U.S. and China , despite the optically pleasing Phase 1 trade deal that is expected to be signed on Wednesday .

US Prepares To Cut All Military Aid If Iraq Asks Troops To Leave Days after the Soleimani assassination and a move in Iraq ’ s parliament to begin the process of expelling American forces from the country , Trump issued threats of severe economic reprisal against Baghdad should it move forward with booting US troops .
“ We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that ’ s there .
It cost billions of dollars to build .
Long before my time .
We ’ re not leaving unless they pay us back for it , ” he said at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And now the US State Department has confirmed it and the Pentagon are preparing to cut all $ 250 million of foreign military aid for Iraqfrom the 2020 military aid budget already approved .
Further they ’ ve already requested the budged office should prepare to additionally cut $ 100 million from the 2021 request .
There are currently some 5,300 American soldiers stationed in Iraq , ostensibly as part of the ‘ anti-ISIL coaltion ’ — however Pentagon priorities have shifted to “ curtailing Iran ” in the region after the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US and Iran clash both directly and indirectly via Iraq ’ s paramilitary Shia proxies .

The Wall Street Journal reports that while no final decision to cut the aid has been made , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and planned for at the highest levels : As a reminder of where things stand and America ’ s “ popularity ” or lack thereof inside Iraq , parliament already voted to expel US troops and all foreign forces in a clearly decisive 170-0 vote .

UK Company Creates Knives Without Tips as Crime Wave Soars to Decade High A UK company is marketing a new range of knives without sharp tips in response to soaring knife crime levels , which just hit another decade high .
Sheffield-based company Viners has produced the “ Assure ” range , square-ended knives which are “ shaped to reduce and prevent injuries , accidents and fatalities.
” The knives were “ repeatedly tested to ensure the tip does not pierce skin intentionally or otherwise , ” the company told the Independent .
Data published by the Ministry of Justice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ England and Wales have soared to the highest level in a decade .
26,364 offenses were recorded in the year to September 2019 , which represents a 3 % increase on last year and the highest number since 2009 .
Attempts by the government to tackle the issue have been derided as “ racist ” by leftists and the media despite the fact that official statistics show 73 % of offenders are from a black or ethnic minority background .
When an initiative was launched to put anti-stabbing messages on chicken takeaway boxes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was seen as bigoted to assume that black people like to eat fried chicken ( fact check ; they do ) .
As I have documented , the knife crime problem in the UK and particularly London continues to get worse because the underlying causes are not being addressed .
– The scaling back of “ stop and search ” because it ’ s “ racist ” .
– The ongoing emasculation of UK police forces who are being trained that mean words and ‘ hate crime ’ is more important than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
– UK street gangs becoming more violent to compete with immigrants from countries like Congo and Somalia .
– The ongoing mass importation of people from violent countries in general .
– Drill rap music that encourages young people to commit murder .

prisonplanet--2020-01-17--Human Rights Watch: China Is “Existential Threat” To Global Freedom

Warns of “ a dystopian future in which no one is beyond the reach of Chinese censors ” Non-governmental organization Human Rights Watch warned Wednesday that if China continues to go unchecked , it threatens to enslave the entire global population and eviscerate freedom for good .
In its annual report , the think tank cautioned that the Communist Chinese government is using technology , censorship and violent repression to such an effective extent that it threatens to fundamentally undermine international human rights forever .
“ Beijing has long suppressed domestic critics .
Now the Chinese government is trying to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world , ” the 652-page report concluded .
HRW declared that China is now engaged in the “ most intense attack ” ever on freedom , and that President Xi Jinping ’ s government is executing “ the most brutal and pervasive oppression that China has seen for decades , ” including the implementation of a “ nightmarish surveillance system ” in Xinjiang province .
The report outlines how China is using its might to systematically silence political dissidents , religious groups , and ethnic minorities .
The report is so damning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kenneth Roth , from traveling to Hong Kong to attend an event to release it .
Instead , the report was launched at the United Nations headquarters in New York .
The report also criticized the UN , other countries , and global corporations for not doing enough to stand up to China , accusing them of being “ willing accomplices , ” of “ enabling ” the crackdown and turning a blind eye to “ a dystopian future in which no one is beyond the reach of Chinese censors.
” “ Far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Chinese government is courted the world over , its unelected president receiving red-carpet treatment wherever he goes , and the country hosting prestigious events , such as the 2022 Winter Olympics.
” Roth noted .
“ The aim is to portray China as open , welcoming , and powerful , even as it descends into ever more ruthless autocratic rule.
” he added .
“ While other governments commit serious human rights violations , no other government flexes its political muscles with such vigor and determination to undermine the international human @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it to account.
” Roth further asserted .
The report also criticized the US , but conceded that “ the Trump administration is one government that has been willing to stand up to China , best evidenced by its October 2019 imposition of sanctions on the Xinjiang Public Security Bureau and eight Chinese technology companies for their complicity in human rights violations.
” The warnings come as Trump continues to push for restrictions on Chinese technology , including the exclusion of Huawei Technologies from the trade deal , and the grounding of more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fears of espionage because they use Chinese technology .
Details also continue to emerge regarding claims by an anonymous former Microsoft contractor that the Chinese government is able to access and listen to Skype conversations and audio from Cortana , Microsoft ’ s voice assistant equivalent of Apple ’ s Siri .
“ Their foreign bank accounts should be frozen .
They should fear prosecution for their crimes.
” the HRW report demands .
“ Chinese companies that build and help run detention camps in Xinjiang , and any company that exploits the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infrastructure and big data processing , should be exposed and pressured to stop.
” the report concludes .

Eleven US Servicemen Injured in Iran Missile Response to Soleimani Assassination Tensions flared again in the Middle East , after the Trump administration on 3 January assassinated top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad , prompting Iran to fire missiles towards two Iraqi bases hosting US troops ; in Erbil and near the Iraqi capital on 8 January .
The Pentagon initially denied any casualties from the attack .

Chemicals in tap water are causing thousands of cancer deaths across Europe – but the EU probably won’t do anything about it

Chemicals in tap water are causing thousands of cancer deaths across Europe – but the EU probably won ’ t do anything about it Peter Andrews is an Irish science journalist and writer , based in London .
He has a background in the life sciences , and graduated from the University of Glasgow with a degree in Genetics Each year , more than 6,500 cases of bladder cancer , roughly five percent of all cases in Europe , are found to be attributable to exposure to trihalomethanes ( THMs ) in drinking water – and it ’ s all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ countries ’ water quality , the EU28 became the EU26 , as adequate data for Bulgaria and Romania could not be obtained .
Nevertheless , the project covered 75 % of the total EU population , and a reading of its findings is ominous .
What the hell are THMs ?
THMs are a class of molecule that appear as a by-product of the disinfectants used to clean drinking water .
When chlorine , the main chemical used to clean drinking water , comes into contact with organic matter , it breaks down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to certain levels , long-term exposure to them has been consistently associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer .
The EU has set that legal limit at 100 lg=L , but anything over 50 lg=L causes a 51 percent increase in the probability of bladder cancer , in men at least .
This study was undertaken at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health , in a city which has THM levels above the present regulatory maximum limit of 100 lg=L .
Astonishingly , there is no provision for the lowering of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ directive .
Bladder cancer is only the tenth most common form of cancer in the UK ; 135,000 people in the EU were diagnosed with it in 2016 .
It is usually quite treatable with a simple surgical procedure as long as it is caught before spreading to other body parts .
Some evidence suggests it affects men more than women ( although this could be down to lifestyle differences , such as higher rates of smoking ) .
The countries with the highest percentages of bladder cancer cases attributable to THM exposure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Malta ( 18 percent ) and Ireland ( 17 percent ) .
In other words , 23 out of 100 Cypriot people who are diagnosed with cancer in a given year are likely to have contracted it from their drinking water .
Meanwhile , the greatest number of attributable cases actually occurred in Spain ( 1,482 attributable cases ) and the United Kingdom ( 1,356 ) although this is a function of population as well as THM contamination .
So , who is to blame ?
It is impossible to attribute any given @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as the extent to which various factors contribute to a complicated disease are , for now , unquantifiable .
But the statistical methods used by the researchers to estimate attributable cases at least puts a rough figure on the lives affected by this pollutant–and they should be enough to grab the attention of those who control public water systems .
The authors point out that if the thirteen worst-offending countries could reduce their THM levels to the current EU average , then 2,868 cases of drinking-water-induced bladder cancer per year could potentially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
For now , this seems unlikely .
Until the precise biological pathways between THMs and bladder cancer are revealed , the European Council Drinking Water Directive will not feel under pressure to rethink .
The EU could , at the very least , lower its limits , though .

Tripp Kester , a sheriff ’ s deputy in North Carolina ’ s Davidson County , channeled the civic sentiment of many American patriots this week at a meeting of his county ’ s board of commissioners , which voted unanimously to adopt Second Amendment “ sanctuary county ” status .
In neighboring Virginia , Democrat lawmakers are touting sweeping gun control proposals that could create a constitutional crisis .
The Democrat-controlled Virginia Senate passed three gun control bills Thursday which ban multiple gun purchases per month , mandate background checks for private gun sales , and compel local government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats decided not to press forward with a proposed assault rifle transfer ban , Democrat governor Ralph Northam issued an executive order banning guns at a Jan. 20 Second Amendment rally in Richmond and is expected to sign the new Senate gun control bills into law if they pass the Democrat-controlled General Assembly .
The Virginia Democrats ’ increasingly radicalized plans leave patriots scrambling for solutions .
That patriotic movement has clearly spread to North Carolina , where Democrat Roy Cooper reigns as governor .
“ The Constitution needs no explanation .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years now .

It says what it means .
It means what it says , ” Tripp Kester stated in his remarks at the meeting in Davidson County , North Carolina on Tuesday .
Kester ’ s speech citing the Declaration of Independence ’ s promise of inalienable rights in convincing the Board to join with five nearby “ sister counties ” is inspiring patriots online .
Watch it here : When journalist Patrick Howley broke the news in 2019 that Virginia Democrat governor Ralph Northam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ school yearbook and lieutenant governor Justin Fairfax was accused of sexual assault in an incident covered up by the mainstream press , Democrats and the media expressed outrage but official Republicans failed to deliver any meaningful changes to the state ’ s governing structure .
Now , with the Second Amendment under assault , citizens and members of sheriff ’ s departments are tasked with designing lawful resistance to the radical Democrat regime .
Sheriff Scott Jenkins of Culpepper County devised a unique way to circumvent Democrat gun control plans , proposing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ county , pending background checks , so that his citizens can enjoy the protections of law enforcement and retain their firearms .
Jenkins said in a recent public forum that there is nothing legally prohibiting him from pursuing this course of action .
“ I ’ ve talked to a number of sheriffs…There are sheriffs who feel just as strongly as I do about the Second Amendment .
They ’ re good men and women serving the will of the people that elected them , ” Jenkins said in an interview , saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” for sheriffs and attorneys to begin realistic preparations for a lawful citizen Second Amendment defense across the state .
National File reported Thursday on a challenge to Virginia governor Northam ’ s banning of guns at an upcoming January 20 pro-gun rally in Richmond : A lawsuit , challenging Governor Ralph “ Blackface ” Northam ’ s executive order banning guns from the Virginia Capitol , has been filed , an official from the office of the Virginia Attorney General revealed .
According to WTKR , a hearing was scheduled for 1:30 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Richmond Circuit Court .
The lawsuit comes as a response to Gov .
Northam declaring a state of emergency on Tuesday night over alleged threats from militia groups planning to form a gun rights rally on Monday .
Gov .
Northam ’ s emergency order declared the banning of all kinds of weapons on the Capitol ’ s grounds , including firearms , from Friday in order to prevent any potential violence ahead of the rally… According to a statement from Gun Owners of America : “ Gun Owners of America and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are filing an Emergency Injunction against the governor ’ s actions .
His action infringes on both the First and Second Amendment rights of Virginian ’ s who wish to peaceably assemble to petition their government , while at the same time not surrendering their right to self-defense .
This rally is held annually with thousands of participants and without incident .
The only difference this year is that , in response to the Democrats ’ attempt to eviscerate the Second Amendment , a much larger crowd is expected.

” “ The U.S. Navy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ operate anywhere international law allows , ” Keiley said , quoted by Reuters .
Naturally , China wasn ’ t pleased about a U.S. warship sailing through the strait .
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said the warship was being tracked and asked the U.S. to respect China ’ s territorial integrity .
“ The issue of Taiwan is about China ’ s territorial integrity , and the most important and sensitive issue for China-US relations , ” Geng said , adding that the Trump administration must respect the one-China principle .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ministry said the U.S. warship was on routine freedom of navigation mission when it sailed north , through the strait , a region that separates the island from China .
The narrow strait has been a hotbed of tension between Beijing and Washington .
President Trump has given support to Taipei , especially with the re-election of President Tsai Ing-wen , who leads the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party and is against China ’ s “ one country , two systems ” policy .
In recent years , Washington has ramped up arms sales @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 108 Abrams main battle tanks , 66 F-16 fight jets , dozens of radar systems , and hundreds of missiles and torpedoes , to a nation that has emerged as one of Uncle Sam ’ s most reliable arms clients .
Ironically , ahead of last Saturday ’ s presidential election in Taiwan – China sailed its latest aircraft carrier through the strait , also a passive-aggressive attempt to show who ’ s boss .
Less passively and more aggressively , Beijing recently sent fighters and bombers to encircle the island and conducted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country .
Beijing has said that Taiwan is “ the most important and sensitive issue in China-US relations , ” as it becomes clear that trade disputes between the U.S. and China aren ’ t the problem , it ’ s a great power competition that will only intensify in the years ahead .

prisonplanet--2020-01-17--Virginia Governor Declares “State of Emergency” Ahead of Human Rights Rally

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is declaring a state of emergency and is banning firearms and other weapons on the Capitol grounds in Richmond ahead of a gun rights demonstration planned for next week .
Gun rights supporters are preparing to converge on Richmond for a lobbying day and a rally Monday morning .
Democrats , who ’ ve just taken over control of the Virginia legislature following the November 2019 elections , are set to pass a slate of gun control bills backed by comrade Northam .
This state of emergency declaration should serve as a wake-up call to those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The government of Virginia is sending people a clear message .
In case you don ’ t know , it ’ s this : “ We can take your rights and we will take your rights and we will use violence to do so .
If you attempt to take your rights back , we will send men with guns to commit more violence and possibly kill you .
We are the masters .
You are the slaves .
Obey.
” In other words , they can do unto you anything they way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obey .
Anyone who thinks this is a “ free country ” is delusional on an unprecedented level .
But Northam said officials have heard reports of “ out-of-state militia groups and hate groups planning to travel from across the country to disrupt our democratic process [ of enslavement ] with acts of violence.
” He said they “ are coming to intimidate and to cause harm , ” according to a report by NPR .
Funny how he can take rights whenever he feels like it , but when people get upset @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bad guys ?
There is only so far you can push people , and unfortunately , Northam may have crossed that line .
Northam asked organizers of the event to “ disavow ” any groups who would threaten violence .
So let ’ s get this straight .
Comrade Norham will use any level of violence to enforce his new gun laws and hire men with guns to hurt people who disobey him , yet those same people are supposed to not fight back ?
This is exactly how democide begins… “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the hardheaded realization , based on five thousand years of experience , that we can not entrust the management of our lives to kings , priests , politicians , generals , and county commissioners.

prisonplanet--2020-01-17--Little People of America demands ND school toss ‘Midget’ mascot

Little People of America demands ND school toss ‘ Midget ’ mascot Survey says : Most students , staff and community members want to keep the Dickinson Public School District ’ s midget mascot , regardless of what the Little People of America think about it .
Representatives from the LPA trekked to Dickinson , North Dakota last month to ask the school board to reconsider the district ’ s nearly 100-year-old midget mascot , alleging the word dredges up negative connotations for the vertically challenged , the Grand Forks Herald reports .
“ I want to make it clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come and force you to change .
We ’ re not trying to force anything upon you .
We just really want to give you our perspective and our point of view , ” LPA rep Samantha Rayburn-Trubyk said at the December school board meeting .
“ You can make the decision on your own , ” she said .
School officials crafted a district-wide survey to do just that , and on Monday the school board released the results that showed the majority aren ’ t interested in ditching the midgets to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ community ’ s long-running resistance to the change .
Of the 4,644 responses from the community , 65 percent opposed a name change and 35 supported it .
Those who wanted to keep the midgets included 63.4 percent of middle schoolers , 68 percent of high schoolers , 51.2 percent of staff , and 65 percent of community members who participated , the Herald reports .
“ There is no indication the board will take further steps , ” according to KFYR .
That ’ s probably a wise decision , if board @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Associated Press wrote about the “ politically correct school board ousted for dumping Midget mascot.
” “ I understand that people are desperately clinging to what they have known in the past , but the mascot is not appropriate , ” Diane Melbye , one of three Dickinson board members recalled that year , told the news service .
The school board dumped the midget nickname without public input , a decision that was ultimately reversed after voters weighed in .
According to the 1996 AP report : The school ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Coyotes , but that changed when a sportswriter in the 1920s called the basketball team ‘ our midgets.
’ The LPA in 2010 contacted then board president Dean Rummel to ask the district to revisit the mascot and Rummel put the topic up for discussion , but the proposal didn ’ t gain traction .
Some of the same folks who led the charge against the 1996 name change were on the board in 2010 , according to The Dickinson Press .
“ They felt that not enough had changed to bring that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vote again , ” Rummel said .
“ There wasn ’ t enough support to make that change or to initiate a study as to what could be done.
” The situation is part of the LPA ’ s mission to rid America of midget mascots , which the organization dedicated to dwarfism claims is derogatory to its members .
The LPA itself was initially known as the Midgets of America when it was founded by actor Billy Barty in 1957 , but changed the name to Dwarfs and Midgets of America in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discuss that history on its website , obscuring when it transitioned to the LPA .
Regardless , the group ’ s advocacy has effectively whittled down the number of schools nationwide with midget mascots to single digits , with the most recent change at Sonoma , California ’ s Hurley High School last year .
“ We know it is difficult to let go of a long tradition , and wish to commend the School Board members for making this brave decision , ” the LPA wrote in statement after the Hurley school @ @ @ @ @ @ @ January 21 , 2019 .
“ We are excited for the children of the Hurley to begin a new era of school and community spirit with a mascot that embodies the dignity and honor of Hurley that all can be proud of and cheer for .
“ With Hurley ’ s decision , there are still five schools in the United States that use ‘ Midgets ’ as their mascot , ” the LPA wrote .
“ The term is considered highly derogatory and offensive to the dwarfism community .
Originally developed in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evolved over the years into an objectifying word denying those of short stature the dignity deserved of all individuals.

DC Media Covers Epidemic Of ‘ Mob Attacks , ’ Says Figuring Out Cause ‘ Is Complicated ’ FOX 5 DC finally realized there ’ s an epidemic of “ mob attacks ” in our nation ’ s capital but they just can ’ t figure out why it ’ s happening .
Police are searching for about a dozen suspects after investigators say a group of young people brazenly attacked and robbed a person in broad daylight in Northwest Washington .
The incident took place shortly after noon on New Year ’ s Day in the 400 block of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ footage of the altercation Thursday .

prisonplanet--2020-01-17--After Investigating 1,000 Near Death Experiences, This Author Came To The Conclusion That Life After

After Investigating 1,000 Near Death Experiences, This Author Came To The Conclusion That Life After Death Is Very Real

After Investigating 1,000 Near Death Experiences , This Author Came To The Conclusion That Life After Death Is Very Real Does life after death really exist ?
The answer to this question has fundamental implications for every man , woman and child on the entire planet , and yet most people don ’ t spend very much time thinking about it .
If this life is not the end , so much of the petty stuff that we spend so much time obsessing over in this life really doesn ’ t matter , and instead we should be focusing on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the life to come .
However , if this life truly is the end , we might as well eat , drink , party and enjoy this life as much as possible because it is all we ’ ve got .
Of course that is the approach most of us seem to be taking in recent years , but a growing body of evidence clearly indicates that life after death really does exist .
For example , a study that was conducted by Gallup concluded that literally millions of people have had “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there are a whole lot of people out there that have gotten a glimpse of the other side and have come back to tell us about it .
Author John Burke has investigated 1,000 of those cases , and his research began about 30 years ago when his father was battling cancer .
At the time , he was “ not a believer ” … Burke first began researching NDEs 30 years ago while his father was dying of cancer .
He was not a believer at the time , but his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him closer to faith .
“ I didn ’ t really have faith at the time and that really opened me up .
I said , ‘ Oh my gosh , maybe this whole God , Jesus stuff is real , ’ ” he said , adding that since then “ I ’ ve studied about 1,000 NDE accounts [ while also ] studying Scriptures.
” Burke ’ s research took him on an absolutely amazing journey , and it ultimately resulted in him becoming a believer and later founding a church in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that one out of every 25 people in the United States has had a near death experience , and Burke says that there are 12 common elements that so many of these near death experiences share… 4 .
Passing into or through a tunnel 6 .
Meeting a mystical being or dead friends and relatives 7 .
A sense that time and space is altered 11 .
Reaching or seeing a boundary or barrier they decide not to cross Of course not everyone that dies and comes back experiences each one of these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ common things that people tend to experience is a visit to a place of incredible beauty .
In fact , even blind people that die and come back are able to see it while they are there… People often describe a place of exquisite beauty , not unlike the earth , with mountains , forests , flowers , and streams , yet alive in new dimensions of time and space—illuminated by a light that radiates life and love .
Even a few NDErs who were blind from birth also “ see ” the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same mystical light that doesn ’ t shine on , but out of , everything , affirming the Bible ’ s explanation that there is no sun or moon in Heaven , but the glory of God is its light ( Revelation 21:23-24 ) .
In addition , Burke says that most people that die and come back are given a comprehensive review of their lives by God while they are in this place of incredible beauty… In the presence of God , many people experience a life review—a panoramic , three-dimensional re-living @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Every thought , motive , and action is laid bare , and they experience the profound way their actions affected others .
In the presence of unconditional love , they see all the good and evil , cause and effect , and they realize it is love that matters most to God .
This is consistent with the teachings of Moses and Jesus , who say that loving God first and loving people second sums up all the commandments ( Matthew 22:36-40 ) .
Sadly , not all NDE experiences are positive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one-fourth of the NDE experiences that he reviewed were extremely negative… Overall , Burke included a whopping 120 of the NDE experiences that he investigated in his book entitled “ Imagine Heaven : Near-Death Experiences , God ’ s Promises , and the Exhilarating Future That Awaits You ” .
( Amazon Affiliate Link ) According to Burke , people from every walk of life and in every part of the globe are having these sorts of encounters… After researching nearly 1,000 accounts of people who died , were resuscitated , and lived @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NDE ) of the afterlife , I wrote my book “ Imagine Heaven.
” In it , I showcase 120 stories that illustrate the commonalities of these accounts , correlating them with an in-depth look at the Bible ’ s picture of Heaven .
What results is an exhilarating , imaginative journey into the life to come—an encouraging perspective for us all as we enter into a new year .
When I examined the similarities of the actual NDE reports across ages and cultures , they affirm each other and scripture .
These @ @ @ @ @ @ @ professors , commercial airline pilots , bank presidents—people who have nothing to gain , but credibility to lose .
Their experiences align with reports from around the globe , from children , even from blind people who claim to “ see ” this same awe-inspiring picture of Heaven .
My hope is that what I have shared here will get people thinking about what really matters .
Our lives are so brief , and it is so easy to get caught up in the short-term matters that seem so important at the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grave is actually far more consequential .

prisonplanet--2020-01-17--The Mysterious New “SARS-Like Virus” That Is Killing People In China Has Now Spread To Japan

The Mysterious New “ SARS-Like Virus ” That Is Killing People In China Has Now Spread To Japan On top of everything else that has happened so far in 2020 , a very mysterious “ SARS-like virus ” that doctors have never seen before is causing grave concern among global health officials .
It has been identified as “ a coronavirus ” , but that category covers a very broad range of illnesses .
If you have a common cold right now , it was caused by a coronavirus .
But SARS and MERS also came from the same virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ headlines all over the world .
In 2002 and 2003 , SARS infected more than 8,000 people worldwide , and more than 700 of them ended up dying .
Global health officials are hoping that what we are now facing won ’ t be any worse than that , but at this point they just don ’ t know enough about this mysterious new virus to make any firm projections .
What we do know is that this outbreak just started , and China has just announced that this virus has claimed a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the BBC… And we also know that there have been at least two cases where people have transported the virus outside of China via airplane .
The first case happened earlier this week when a woman flew from China to Thailand… The new virus , known for now as 2019-nCoV , was first identified on Jan. 7 , about a week after officials first reported a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan , WHO said .
Recently , officials reported the first “ exported ” case of the virus in Thailand .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got on a direct flight to Thailand along with several members of her family and a tour group , according to WHO .
When the 61-year-old woman arrived at the airport , she was found to have a fever , and she was taken to the hospital where she tested positive for 2019-nCoV .
Subsequently , on Thursday we learned that a man that flew from China to Japan had also contracted the virus .
The following comes from Time Magazine… At first , global health officials were greatly downplaying the possibility of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ World Health Organization has been forced to admit that “ limited human-to-human transmission ” may be happening… In other words , the evidence has forced them to change their tune , but they are still trying to not alarm the general public too much .
Unfortunately , the truth is that this outbreak is still very new , they have never seen this virus before , and they are still trying to figure out exactly how dangerous it is .
Hopefully this is not going to develop into a major pandemic .
Without @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that this whole thing could fizzle out even faster than the bird flu scare did .
But let us not forget that a horrific pandemic about 100 years ago killed between 50 million and 100 million people .
The following comes from Wikipedia… Bill Gates has identified pandemics as one of the three greatest threats that humanity is facing , and he says that we are woefully unprepared if one were to break out today .
In fact , he says that we should be preparing for one right now as if we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will probably never make preparation a true priority until a major pandemic has already begun .
The symptoms of this new mystery virus include congestion , headache , cough and fever .
Of course those exact same symptoms are associated with the common cold .
If you have shortness of breath , chills or body aches in addition to the other symptoms , that could be an indication that you should get checked out .
But there have been no reports of this virus reaching the United States yet , and hopefully we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all .
For the Chinese , this outbreak comes at a particularly bad time , because their Lunar New Year celebration is on January 25th .
Hundreds of millions of people will be traveling around China , and that could potentially accelerate the spread of the virus .
It may have been prudent for Chinese officials to completely cancel all of the festivities , but at this point there are absolutely no plans to do that .
So we will watch and see what happens .
If this particular virus doesn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it is only a matter of time before some other virus does .
And considering the hour in which we live , we are certainly very vulnerable to a potential pandemic right now .
Once again , I want to stress that there is no need for people in the U.S. to start freaking out about this virus just yet .
Only two people have died , and there have been no reported cases in the U.S. so far .
But as we have seen in the past , global air travel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very quickly , and authorities are still trying to figure out how dangerous this new mystery disease really is .

The United States seems to fear that China will use drones for espionage .

A head inclusion officer at one Michigan school is in hot water after appearing outside a Trump rally holding a profane protest sign .
On Dec. 18 , President Donald Trump held a rally in Battle Creek , Michigan .
During that time , Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer Jorge Zeballos of Kellogg Community College ( KCC ) protested , holding a sign that read , “ F**K TRUMP , F**K McConnell , F**K GRAHAM , ” outside the Kellogg Arena where Trump was speaking .
Zeballos posted a selfie of himself holding the sign on Facebook , according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one screenshot was acquired of Zeballos ’ post before all traces were allegedly removed .
Zeballos later acknowledged posting the selfie with a follow-up post , as “ Renk ” from the radio show Live With Renk pointed out .
“ Recently I posted a picture on my [ Facebook ] page of me holding a sign at a rally to protest Trump ’ s visit to Battle Creek , ” wrote Zeballos .
“ While I stand by my first amendment right to express myself , I understand that my public and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I work for , Kellogg Community College .
Because of this , I deeply regret posting the picture on my Facebook page and the controversy it has generated.
” Zeballos insisted that “ anyone that has interacted ” with him “ knows that he strives “ to have respectful dialogue on some of the most challenging issues with anyone that holds a different opinion than mine .
This incident doesn ’ t change who I am and what I stand for , creating a more equitable and inclusive society , ” added Zeballos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a statement regarding Zeballos ’ conduct clarifying that “ The KCC employee in question was expressing his personal opinion on his own time , and not acting on behalf of the College.
” The school called the situation a “ teachable moment ” and a “ healthy reminder ” that individual actions can reflect poorly on the school .
“ Whether that impact affects an individual ’ s employment status at KCC , positively or negatively , is a determination made via KCC ’ s ongoing performance management process , which is appropriately @ @ @ @ @ @ @ empowered by the institution to manage performance , ” the school added .
Campus Reform previously reported on KCC getting sued for arresting YAL members recruiting on campus , for which KCC settled for $ 55,000 and updated its free speech policies .
Regarding Zeballos ’ profane protesting , a conservative student who asked to remain anonymous told Campus Reform , “ Not surprisingly , local media seems to be largely silent on the story , including the local newspaper the Battle Creek Enquirer .
…This past year the faculty and staff were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sessions led by Zeballos that were described by some as ‘ hating whitey.
’ Zeballos usually appears very unfriendly in the hallways and rarely has a smile to offer .
How could any conservative student or employee feel comfortable with this man setting the tone for the institution ’ s one-way equity policy [ ? ]
As a conservative , I never open my mouth about anything to anyone at the school.
” Local community member Joni Jones told Campus Reform , “ I am a tax-paying citizen of Battle Creek .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FB page and this picture by a friend who knew that I have deep concerns as to what we see happening with some of these ‘ Equity , ’ ‘ Diversity ’ & ‘ Inclusion ’ initiatives at our public institutions of higher education .
I was shocked to find this picture and even more disturbed that some of KCC ’ s Board members ( who are FB ‘ friends ’ with Mr. Zeballos ) had not pressured him to remove the post.
” “ Mr .
Zeballos has every right to protest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he is bound by a professional code of conduct as an employee of KCC , knowing that his conduct and speech will also be associated with the college , ” said Jones .
“ He has violated the very goals that are listed on the ‘ Equity & Inclusion ’ page of KCC ’ s website .
His behavior , in no way , fosters or promotes civility and does not advance dialogue .
To the contrary , it will have the effect of squelching free speech on campus , as those students @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intimidated into silence .
That is NOT what colleges and universities are supposed to be about and it has to stop.
” KCC pledges a commitment to , “ creating an inclusive environment where we foster respect for others and our differences , support cultural understanding , demonstrate ethical behavior and champion social justice , ” by “ valuing the lived experiences and perspectives of others.

This might come as a surprise to the broader American public and a mainstream media which has largely ignored recent escalating events in Libya , but guess who ’ s back ?
The Pentagon official , Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Paul Selva , described the currently stalemated fight for Tripoli between Benghazi-based Gen.

New reporting in The Guardian confirms that some two thousand Syrian militants are already en route with Turkish military support : Two thousand Syrian fighters have traveled from Turkey or will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Libya , Syrian sources in all three countries have said , in an unprecedented development that threatens to further complicate the north African state ’ s intractable civil war .
The deployment came after Turkey agreed last month to come to the aid of the Libyan prime minister , Fayez al-Sarraj , who is backed by the UN , in the face of a months-long campaign by his rival , the warlord Khalifa Haftar .

prisonplanet--2020-01-17--DoJ Begins Second Probe Into Comey’s History Of Leaking Classified Intel

DoJ Begins Second Probe Into Comey ’ s History Of Leaking Classified Intel The New York Times just published a bombshell report that ’ s faintly reminiscent of the scoops that the Liberal paper of record used to publish during the spring and summer of 2017 , when the Mueller probe was in its infancy .
Except this time , instead of the the leak focusing on alleged wrongdoing by President Trump and his inner circle , the NYT is focusing on former FBI Director James Comey , who has increasingly been taken to task by the mainstream press in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both the Clinton investigation and the origins of the probe in Russian interference ( remember that ? )
.
According to veteran NYT reporter Adam Goldman ( a reporter who won a Pulitzer in 2018 for his work bolstering the Russian interference narrative ) , federal prosecutors have launched an investigation into an earlier incident of leaking by former FBI Director James Comey .
This leak , which involves a classified information about Russian intelligence , allegedly surfaced in the Washington Post and NYT some time during 2017 .
A report published in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ general found that the fired FBI Director James Comey leaked sensitive law enforcement material in the Trump-Russia investigation .
Doing so set a “ dangerous example ” for the bureau ’ s other employees , Inspector General Michael Horowitz wrote .
Comey ’ s former No .
2 man , Andrew McCabe , was also fired for leaking , and is also under investigation .
Whatever this document was ( the NYT claims it was also mentioned in a book by James Stewart published last fall ) , it apparently played a key @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cut the DoJ out of his announcement that the FBI wouldn ’ t be pursuing charges against Hillary Clinton in the email scandal .
Furthermore , it was allegedly obtained by Dutch Intelligence operatives , before being handed over to the US .
The NYT says the document was “ one of the key factors ” that drove Comey ’ s decision to give Hillary a pass .
The latest investigation involves material that Dutch intelligence operatives siphoned off Russian computers and provided to the United States government .
The information included a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an email exchange during the 2016 presidential campaign between Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz , Democrat of Florida who was also the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee at the time , and Leonard Benardo , an official with the Open Society Foundations , a democracy-promoting organization whose founder , George Soros , has long been a target of the far right .
In the email , Ms. Wasserman Schultz suggested that then-Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch would make sure that Mrs. Clinton would not be prosecuted in the email case .
Both Ms. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being in contact , suggesting the document was meant to be Russian disinformation .
That document was one of the key factors that drove Mr. Comey to hold a news conference in July 2016 announcing that investigators would recommend no charges against Mrs. Clinton .
Typically , senior Justice Department officials would decide how to proceed in such a high-profile case , but Mr. Comey was concerned that if Ms. Lynch played a central role in deciding whether to charge Mrs. Clinton , Russia could leak the email .
Of course , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ politically motivated , but offers no other evidence to support this claim than the “ suspicious ” timing ( per NYT , the DoJ typically doesn ’ t investigate years-old leaks ) .
The timing of the investigation could raise questions about whether it was motivated at least in part by politics .
Prosecutors and F.B.I .
agents typically investigate leaks of classified information around the time they appear in the news media , not years later .
And the inquiry is the latest politically sensitive matter undertaken by the United States attorney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is also conducting an investigation of Mr. Comey ’ s former deputy , Andrew G. McCabe , that has been plagued by problems .
Law enforcement officials are scrutinizing at least two news articles about the F.B.I .
and Mr. Comey , published in The New York Times and The Washington Post in 2017 , that mentioned the Russian government document , according to the people familiar with the investigation .
Hackers working for Dutch intelligence officials obtained the document and provided it to the F.B.I.
, and both its existence and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the people said .
The document played a key role in Mr. Comey ’ s decision to sideline the Justice Department and announce in July 2016 that the F.B.I .
would not recommend that Hillary Clinton face charges in her use of a private email server to conduct government business while secretary of state .
It ’ s believed that the investigation began in recent months , but it ’ s unclear whether a grand jury has been impaneled , or how many witness have been interviewed .
Comey has already been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaking : He infamously turned over a memo to personal friend Daniel Richman with the explicit intention of getting it to an NYT reporter .
That document was later determined to be classified , though prosecutors declined to charge Comey ( and instead let the IG handle it ) .
But what this probe shows is that Comey has a history of leaking that isn ’ t Trump-specific .
The Clinton email investigation began long before Trump secured the Republican nomination .
It could be the straw that finally wrecks whatever is left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eyes of the liberal press .

prisonplanet--2020-01-17--Will The US Obsession With Sanctions Destroy The Dollar?

Will The US Obsession With Sanctions Destroy The Dollar ?
When the US places financial sanctions one one country , it de facto sanctions many other countries as well — including many of its allies .
This is because not all countries and firms are interested in participating in the US sanctions-based foreign policy .
Sanctions , after all , have become a favorite go-to strategy for American policymakers who seek to isolate or punish foreign states that don ’ t cooperate with US international policy goals .
In recent years , the US has been most active in imposing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with many consequences for US allies who are still open to doing business with both of those countries .
The US can retaliate against organizations that violate US sanctions in a variety of ways .
In the past , the US has sued firms such as the Netherlands ’ ING Groep and Switzerland Credit Suisse .
Both firms have paid hundreds of millions of dollars in fines in the past .
The US has been known to go after individuals .
US bureaucrats like to remind firms that penalties await them , should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In November 2018 , for example , US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo announced : Fear of sanctions has caused some firms to stop work mid project , such as when Swiss pipe-laying company Allseas Group abandoned a $ 10 billion pipeline that was nearing completion .
Not surprisingly , these firms — who employ people , pay taxes , and contribute to economic growth — have put pressure on their governments to protest the mounting interference from the US into private trade .
As a result , some European politicians are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US sanctions .
In a tweet last week , Germany ’ s deputy foreign minister Niels Annen wrote “ Europe needs new instruments to be able to defend itself from licentious extraterritorial sanctions.
” Another “ senior German government official ” concluded , “ Washington is treating the EU as an adversary .
It is dealing the same way with Mexico , Canada , and with allies in Asia .
This policy will provoke counter-reactions across the world.
” But how is the US so easily able to sanction so much of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ influential countries like Germany ?
The answer lies in the fact the US dollar and the US economy remain at the center of the international trade system .
SWIFT : How the US Sanctions the World By the waning days of the Cold War , the US dollar had become the dominant currency in the non-communist world , thanks to the Bretton Woods agreement , the petrodollar , and the sheer size of the US economy .
Once the Communist Bloc collapsed , the dollar was poised to grow even more in importance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ institutions searched for a way to make global trade and investing even faster and easier .
Henry Farrell at The National Interest describes what came next : At the time , Europe was still years away from creating the euro , and it only seemed natural that a centralized dollar-transfer system be developed for all the world .
SWIFT personnel have always maintained their organization is apolitical , neutral , and only interested in providing a service .
But geopolitical realities have long intervened .
Farrell continues : By 2001 , the power @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And in the wake of 9/11 , the US used the “ War on Terror ” and an opportunity to turn SWIFT into an enormous international tool for surveillance and financial power .
In his book Treasury ’ s War : The Unleashing of a New Era of Financial Warfare Juan Zarate shows how the US Treasury officials pressured SWIFT and its personnel to provide the US government with the means to use this international financial “ plumbing ” to deprive the US ’ s enemies of access to markets .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were concerned it would become widely known that SWIFT was becoming politicized and largely a tool of the US and US allies .
Nevertheless , the American regime pressed its advantage , and by 2012 “ for the first time ever , SWIFT unplugged designated Iranian banks from its system , in accordance with a European directive and under the threat of possible US legislation.
” This only strengthened worries among both world regimes and the world ’ s financial institutions that the basic technical infrastructure of the international financial system was really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and China have been highly motivated to find alternatives to SWIFT .
But even perennial US allies have grown far more wary of leaving the financial system in a place where it can be so easily dominated by the US regime .
If Iranian banks can be “ unplugged ” so easily from the global system , what ’ s to stop the US from taking similar steps against German banks , French banks , or Italian banks ?
This , of course , is an implied threat behind US demands that European @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sanctions or face “ punishment.
” From the US perspective , if Germans refuse to kowtow to US policy , then there ’ s an easy solution : simply cut the Germans off from the international banking system .
By late 2019 , the UK , France , and Germany had put together a workaround called “ INSTEX ” designed to facilitate continued trade with Iran without using the dollar and the SWIFT system built upon it .
Belgium , Denmark , Finland , the Netherlands , Norway and Sweden have joined the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2020 , however , the cumbersome system remains unused .
But we remain in the very early stages of European efforts to get a divorce from the dollar-dominated financial system .
The INSTEX system has been devised , for now , for a limited purpose .
But there is no reason it can not be expanded in the future .
The short-term prospects for a functional system are low .
Longer-term , however , things are different .
The motivation for a long-term workaround is growing .
The Trump administration has embraced showmanship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cycle , but which encourages US allies to pull away .
Farrell continues : All of this is viewed with alarm by not only Europe , but by China and Russia as well .
The near-constant stream of threats by the US administration to impose ever harsher limits and sanctions on both China and Europe has pushed the rest of the world to accelerate plans to get around US sanctions .
After all , as of mid-2019 , the US had nearly 8,000 sanctions in place against various states and organizations and individuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reference to American sanctions is “ overuse.
” It was one thing when the US imposed sanctions in some extreme cases .
But now the US appears increasingly fond of using and threatening sanctions regularly , without consulting allies .
This makes continued US dominance in this regard less likely as allies the world pour more and more resources into ending the US-SWIFT control of the system .
In a 2018 report , “ Towards a Stronger International Role of the Euro , ” the European Commission described U.S. sanctions as “ wake-up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ monetary sovereignty.
” The effort still has a long way to go , but perhaps not as far as many think .
The dollar remains far ahead of the euro in terms of the dollar ’ s use as a reserve currency , but the dollar and the euro are move evenly matched when it comes to international payment transactions .
If the rest of the world remains sufficiently motivated , more can certainly be done to rein in dollar-based sanctions .
Indeed , in 2019 , former US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not longer at the center of the global financial system , this will bring significant disadvantages for the US regime and US residents .
A decline in demand for the dollar would also lead to less demand for US debt .
This would put upward pressure on interest rates and thus bring higher debt-payment obligations for the US regime .
This would constrain defense spending and the ability of the US to project its power to every corner of the globe .
At the same time , central bank efforts to drive interest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to monetize the debt .
The resulting price inflation in either consumer goods or assets would be significant .
The fact none of this will become obvious next week or next month doesn ’ t mean it will never happen .
But the US ’ s enthusiasm for sanctions means the world is already learning the price of doing business with the United States and with the dollar .

A middle schooler who wore a sweatshirt featuring the words ‘ Virginity Rocks ’ said administrators threatened him with suspension if he wore it again .
Seventh-grader Londyn Piglowski said he was told by his social studies teacher to turn the hoodie inside out or take it off “ or else they would have to take action.
” The Wentzville School District dress code prohibits clothing that promotes “ immoral , illegal , sexual or violent behavior , ” none of which applies to Piglowski ’ s sweatshirt .
Piglowski was threatened with suspension if he wore the hoodie at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t think this was bad so whenever they told me to take it off I was like why am I taking this off because it ’ s a positive message ?
” he said .
Piglowski ’ s father said that the message should be in line with the school ’ s sex ed policy therefore it didn ’ t make sense for it to be considered “ immoral.
” “ This is a message saying you know they ’ re good with being virgins I guess , you know , no sex @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these schools are trying to educate these kids of not doing ?
” he asked .
Piglowski ’ s friend Davis , who bought him the sweatshirt , said the hoodie was proving very popular amongst other kids at the school , who were asking him if they could buy one .
“ The District ’ s policy regarding student dress provides opportunities for our administrators to address student attire that is potentially disruptive to the educational environment , ” the Wentzville School District wrote in a statement to KMOV .
“ We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that may be inappropriate and by and large , our students and families work with our staff to address any concerns.

Goldman Sachs Clients 87 Per Cent Sure Trump Will be Re-Elected So long as the economy holds up .
Goldman Sachs clients are 87 per cent sure that Donald Trump will be re-elected as President later this year .
Asked ‘ Will President Trump Win A Second Term ?
’ , a resounding majority of those attending a Goldman Sachs Global Strategy Conference in London yesterday said he would .
Their confidence in Trump being returned to the Oval Office probably has a lot to do with the fact that only 5 per cent of respondents think the U.S. economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s most recent poll shows that Trump currently has a 51 per cent approval rating compared to a 47 per cent disapproval rating .
51 per cent of likely U.S. voters say they plan to vote against Trump , down from 52 per cent last September .
A Moody ’ s Analytics study back in October found that Trump ’ s chances of being re-elected are excellent , so long as the economy holds up .
“ Barring anything unusual happening , the president ’ s Electoral College victory could easily surpass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which came by a 304-227 count , ” reported CBC News .

prisonplanet--2020-01-16--British Police Failed to Stop Muslim Grooming Gang Due to Fears Over “Community Tensions”

British Police Failed to Stop Muslim Grooming Gang Due to Fears Over “ Community Tensions ” Political correctness led to widespread sexual abuse of children yet again .
British police in Manchester failed to stop dozens of girls being sexually abused by a network of Pakistani men despite knowing it was happening due to fears over creating “ community tensions.
” In yet another grooming scandal involving predominately Pakistani men sexually abusing mainly white girls , a new report reveals that Greater Manchester Police “ failed to take appropriate action more than 15 years ago , despite getting details of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who were using takeout restaurants as a base to rape and abuse children in care between the ages of 11 and 17 ” and despite the fact that the culprits were operating “ in plain sight.
” All the victims were “ young white females ” aged 11-17 while all the perpetrators were “ almost exclusively Asian adult males , many of whom are associated via the Asian restaurant trade , ” according to the report .
The police operation identified 57 girls who had been exploited , including one who died after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but the case was shut down in 2005 and “ very few ” offenders were brought to justice .
“ The report includes shocking stories of how children told their carers of the abuse and pleaded to be removed from harm , ” reports Fox News .
“ One child is said to have begged her carers to get her away from Manchester as she was too involved with Asian men and that one “ made her do things she didn ’ t want to.
” Another spoke of how she was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ given vodka and cocaine and made to “ do whatever they wanted us to do.
” The report finds that the children were not protected by the appropriate agencies.
” One of the reasons why police failed to take adequate action was due to concerns over “ sensitive community issues ” because the men involved were “ predominantly adult Asian men from local minority ethnic communities in the area.
” A separate unrelated case involving Kurdish people had also “ created community tensions ” and these factors “ clearly had to be considered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were even ordered to try to find culprits who were white to hide the fact that the grooming gang issue was a Muslim/Pakistani problem .
“ We were told to try and get other ethnicities , ” said one officer .
In other words , police failed to come to the aid of child sex abuse victims despite knowing they were being trafficked because they didn ’ t want to be called racist or Islamophobic .
This mirrors other similar cases across the country where young white girls were abused and trafficked by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rotherham where 1500 victims were raped and beaten but authorities ignored what was happening due to fears over “ political correctness.
” Quilliam Foundation think tank statistics show that 84 per cent of convicted groomers in the UK are Muslim men .
Remember ; Liberals claim that political correctness is “ just being nice to people , ” and yet valuing political correctness over the safety of young girls has , in numerous cases across Britain , resulted in the industrial-level sexual abuse of children .

45-Year-Old Man Caught With Child Pornography Says He Identifies as an 8-Year-Old Girl A 45-year-old man caught with child pornography had a novel defense in court ; he claimed he identified as an 8-year-old girl .
Facing up to 20 years in prison , Joseph Gobrick told a judge in Michigan that he had a First Amendment right to view child porn on his computer and that he was in fact an 8-year-old girl , so it didn ’ t matter anyway .
“ I ’ ve always been an 8-year-old girl , and even in my drawings and fantasies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” said Gobrick .
After his claim that he was in fact a child and therefore immune from prosecution didn ’ t impress the judge , Gobrick resorted to implying that his oppressors were behaving like Nazis .
“ Under the law , Auschwitz was legal , ” he said , arguing , “ What you ’ re doing here is wrong , just as Auschwitz was.
” “ If Gobrick can identify as a female , why can ’ t he identify as a female of whatever age he chooses ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ least a man who “ feels like a child ” can rightly point out that he was once a child , so he has some frame of reference for judging these feelings .
And at least it does make sense , in the case of certain mental disabilities , to say that an adult “ has the brain of a child.
” “ None of this vindicates Gobrick to any extent at all , but my point is that transageism is actually more credible and makes more sense than transgenderism .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so .
Age does change , after all .
I will not be a 33-year-old man forever .
But I will be a man forever .
If my sex is a fluid characteristic , how much more fluid must my age be ?
” Who knows , the way western society is heading , Gobrick ’ s excuse may well be accepted by courts in 5-10 years .

Dental Assistant Fired For Expressing Support For Trump on Facebook A South Milwaukee dental assistant was fired from her job after a single person complained about a pro-Trump comment she had posted on Facebook .
Before attending Trump ’ s Jan. 14 rally in Milwaukee , Robyn Polak posted “ MAGA 2020 ” in response to a news story about his upcoming visit .
This prompted someone to go on her employer ’ s Facebook page and leave a negative review which states , “ employees spouting racist comments on Facebook.
