Singapore to tag visitors with electronic monitoring devices to ensure Covid-19 quarantine compliance New arrivals to Singapore won ’ t necessarily have to quarantine at a government facility during the pandemic – some , including residents , will receive an electronic monitoring device that will alert authorities if they leave home .
Singapore announced on Monday that it will track incoming travelers coming from a select group of countries – including residents and citizens – with electronic monitoring devices , starting on August 11 .
Authorities framed the trackers as a positive for travelers , noting they would allow recipients @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a government facility .
New arrivals will be ordered to activate the devices upon reaching home , at which point they are programmed to alert the authorities should the user try to leave or tamper with the device .
It ’ s not clear what kind of device the city-state plans to use , though the announcement hints at something quite a bit beefier than the slimline electronic wristbands Hong Kong deployed in March and South Korea has also adopted .
Authorities hinted that recipients are supposed to receive and acknowledge notifications @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a smartphone app linked to the device , as is the case in Seoul .
However , the city-state has sought to reassure recipients that the device will not store personal data and does not have the ability to record or store audio or video .
Singapore was one of the first places to adopt tech-enhanced contact-tracing to manage its Covid-19 outbreak , developing a Bluetooth-powered app called TraceTogether which – despite initial fanfare – reportedly failed to attract more than 25 percent of the population ( and was quite useless for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ app was programmed before Google and Apple rolled out their contact-tracing platform , it doesn ’ t work well on iPhones and is a huge drain on battery life .
Perhaps foreseeing a dim future for the app , Singapore announced in June that it would supplement TraceTogether by distributing wearable contact-tracing devices .
The government attempted to allay fears of being tracked by explaining the devices lack GPS chips or internet capability and operate only on a Bluetooth-proximity basis , alerting authorities only if the wearer tests positive for Covid-19 .
However @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the wearables , noting that it ’ s impossible to tell what the devices are actually doing at any given time .
Vivian Balakrishnan , head of Singapore ’ s Smart Nation Initiative , has not ruled out making the wearables compulsory , and some have warned that the government need only add Bluetooth sensors to public places to turn the dongles into de facto GPS trackers .
The wearable electronics proposed for new arrivals would seem to fulfill those concerns , especially as they ’ re being rolled out for residents and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well as for some foreign nationals .
Singapore has only reported 27 deaths involving the coronavirus , though its case count – 53,051 as of Monday , according to Johns Hopkins University – is somewhat high for a nation of just 5.1 million people , reflecting the close quarters in which its inhabitants live .

Media TV Veteran Admits “ We Are a Cancer and There is No Cure ” MSNBC producer Ariana Pekary explained that the reason for her deciding to quit her job was that the mainstream media blocks “ diversity of thought ” in favor of promoting hysterical voices for ratings and that a TV veteran admitted to her “ we are a cancer and there is no cure.
” Pekary , who was an “ integral member ” of Lawrence O ’ Donnell ’ s primetime show , says that the media ’ s obsession with Trump is actually costing lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how to fight the coronavirus pandemic .
“ This cancer risks human lives , even in the middle of a pandemic .
The primary focus quickly became what Donald Trump was doing ( poorly ) to address the crisis , rather than the science itself .

The former producer also revealed that a “ successful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her that , “ We are a cancer and there is no cure , ” adding , “ But if you could find a cure , it would change the world.

“ The model blocks diversity of thought and content @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fringe voices and events , at the expense of others… all because it pumps up the ratings , ” she wrote .

prisonplanet--2020-08-04--Trump Questions Epstein Suicide: “Was He Killed?”

During an interview with Axios , President Trump questioned whether Jeffrey Epstein actually killed himself , while also reiterating that he didn ’ t want to see Ghislaine Maxwell die in jail .
Trump previously faced criticism from the media about him wishing Maxwell well , but clarified again that he simply meant he did not want to see her killed or commit suicide before her trial .
“ Her boyfriend [ Epstein ] was either killed or committed suicide in jail .
She is now in jail .
Yeah , I ’ d wish her well .
I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ d wish a lot of people well .
Good Luck .
Let them prove somebody was guilty , ” Trump said .
“ Her boyfriend died in jail and people are still trying to figure out how did it happen , was it suicide , was he killed ?
And I do wish her well , I ’ m not looking for anything bad for her , ” he added .
When previously asked about whether Maxwell would name high profile people connected to Epstein ’ s sex trafficking ring , Trump said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the case closely .
However , during a 2015 interview Trump described Epstein ’ s infamous ‘ pedo island ’ as an “ absolute cesspool , ” accusing Prince Andrew of visiting it many times .
“ Just ask Prince Andrew , he ’ ll tell you about it , ” Trump told Bloomberg .
As we previously highlighted , while hyping Trump ’ s alleged close connections to Maxwell , the media largely ignored witness assertions made in unsealed court documents that Bill Clinton visited Epstein ’ s island .
Epstein victim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ documents last year that she didn ’ t witness Trump involved with any of the girls and women groomed by Epstein .
“ It ’ s true that he didn ’ t partake in any sex with us , but it ’ s not true that he flirted with me .

Legendary British comedian John Cleese has hit out at permanently offended woke people , insisting that they have no sense of humour and are contributing to the death of comedy .
In an appearance on the Daily Beast ’ s The Last Laugh Podcast , Cleese noted that woke people simply do not understand the intricacies of comedy .
“ There ’ s plenty of people who are PC now who have absolutely zero sense of humour .
I would love to debate , in a friendly way , a couple of ‘ woke ’ people in front of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thing I would say is , please tell me a good ‘ woke ’ joke , ” Cleese urged .
“ What they don ’ t understand is that there ’ s two types of teasing , ” Cleese continued , noting that “ There ’ s really nasty teasing , which is horrible , and we shouldn ’ t do it , full stop .
But the other type of teasing is affectionate .
You can tease people hugely affectionately and it ’ s a bonding mechanism.
” “ All humour is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of perfect human beings , ” Cleese continued , adding that “ If you ’ ve got someone up on the screen who is perfect , intelligent and kind and flexible and a good person , there ’ s nothing funny about that .
So we only laugh at people ’ s frailties , but that ’ s not cruel .
You can laugh at people ’ s frailties in very funny and generous ways.
” Cleese was recently at the centre of a ‘ woke ’ storm when his Fawlty Towers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was temporarily canceled after complaints that it featured a ‘ racist ’ character .
Cleese called the BBC “ cowardly and gutless ” for removing an episode of the show , pointing out that the racist character in question was the target of ridicule in the show .
Cleese has previously warned that political correctness will lead to the death of comedy , noting that “ If you start to say we mustn ’ t , we mustn ’ t criticize or offend them then humor is gone .
With humor goes a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far as I ’ m concerned you ’ re living in 1984.
” Cleese has been acutely aware of the threat cancel culture poses for decades : After daring to question the diversity overlords , Cleese also recently found himself being labeled a ‘ racist ’ : His staunch refusal to deviate from his views has made Cleese the target of harassment .

Biden Promises Stricter Gun Control

Democratic candidate Joe Biden promised Tuesday to enact stricter gun control measures , citing policies that have already failed .
Biden wrote “ One year ago , just hours after the massacre in El Paso , nine precious lives were cut short in Dayton .
In the wake of the tragedies , Donald Trump promised the most modest of gun safety policies , then caved to the NRA and failed to deliver.
” He continued , “ As president , I ’ ll take on the powerful gun lobby to pass universal background checks , ban assault weapons and high-capacity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guns out of dangerous hands .
We can and will end our gun violence epidemic.
” Biden neglected to mention the fact that the shooter in the case he cited passed a background check .
A report in the Texas Tribune noted that the shooter ’ s weapon was “ bought legally.
” Biden ’ s pledge to ban “ assault weapons ” and “ high-capacity magazines ” is also a tired cliche that has been proven to have little to no effect on violent gun crime , given that both are banned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the city has experienced a 139 percent surge in murders over the past year .
Chicago also requires universal background checks via the Illinois ’ Firearm Owners Identification ( FOID ) card mandate .

Even the Washington Post admits that Biden ’ s gun control proposals will do nothing to curb gun violence , but will “ disproportionately impact poor and working-class communities ” by adding large fees and taxes on purchases of firearms .
Biden ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at best shaky , and at worst outright lies .
For example , stating that 150 million Americans have been killed by guns since 2007 .
When challenged on his extreme gun control proposals by a working class American recently , Biden launched into a profanity laced tirade , telling the man he was “ full of shit , ” and that he shouldn ’ t “ be such a horse ’ s ass.

prisonplanet--2020-08-05--Survey: Americans Think Coronavirus Has Killed 30 Million People in the U.S., 225 Times Higher Than

Survey: Americans Think Coronavirus Has Killed 30 Million People in the U.S., 225 Times Higher Than Actual Figure

Survey : Americans Think Coronavirus Has Killed 30 Million People in the U.S. , 225 Times Higher Than Actual Figure Results suggest media alarmism has fanned the flames of hysteria .
A new survey by research firm Kekst CNC has found that on average , people in the U.S. think 9 per cent of the population , around 30 million people , have died from coronavirus when the actual figure is less than 155,000 .
The survey results generally across six countries , including America , found that , “ People think coronavirus is more widespread , and more deadly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sweden and the UK in particular , people vastly overestimate the number of lives COVID-19 has claimed .
“ Despite relatively low incidence rates compared to earlier in the pandemic in most countries ( with the exception of the U.S. ) , people significantly over-estimate the spread and fatality rate of the disease .
In Sweden and the UK for example , the public think 6-7 % of people have died from coronavirus – around one hundred times the actual death rate based on official figures.
” In other words , people in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more deadly than it actually is .
The numbers for America are even more out of sync with reality .
The survey found that Americans think 9 % of the population in the U.S. have died from coronavirus .
This percentage would equate to almost 30 million COVID-19 deaths .
The actual death toll currently stands at just under 155,000 deaths .
Americans ’ estimation of coronavirus deaths is therefore a whopping is 225 higher than the actual number of people who have died .
People in the U.S. also believe that 20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20 times higher than the number of confirmed cases .
The survey also revealed that across all countries , “ people think 5-12 % of people currently have coronavirus.
” In reality , even at the height of the pandemic , in England for example , only 0.27 % of the community population had COVID-19 .
This highlights once again how media alarmism surrounding the spread and lethality of the virus has caused many people to become hysterical and overly paranoid about COVID-19 .
In reality , the 2017-18 flu season in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ONS statistics show that current overall deaths are below the five year average for the sixth week in a row .
As we highlighted on Monday , in some cases this has resulted in bizarre behavior , such as people literally leaping out of the way of other people walking their way and people being “ too scared ” to go outside .
The innumerable incidents involving aggressive confrontations and in some cases violent attacks on others for the sin of not social distancing or wearing a mask can also be partly explained @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

prisonplanet--2020-08-05--US dollar could be a ‘CRASH RISK’ amid rising economic & political uncertainty

US dollar could be a ‘ CRASH RISK ’ amid rising economic & political uncertainty After suffering its worst monthly fall in about a decade , the US currency has started August with a bounce .
However , analysts predict further weakness in the greenback .
“ We expect the currency to be undermined by an ebbing of safe-haven flows , a reduction in the US rate advantage , and political uncertainty ahead of the November presidential election , ” UBS analysts wrote last week .
The ICE US Dollar Index , which measures the dollar against a basket of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in July – its biggest one-month decline since September 2010 , data showed .
The index was trading up on Tuesday at around 93.69 , but data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed that the dollar is well out of favor with speculative traders .
According to Steven Barrow , head of G-10 strategy at Standard Bank , the dollar ’ s weakness versus developed currencies comes at a time of heightened global uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic .
Usually , the dollar behaves “ a bit better ” against its developed-economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a note seen by Market Watch .
The strategist worries that the combination of rising economic and political uncertainty amid the coronavirus pandemic and ahead of the November presidential election could pose a so-called “ crash risk , ” a danger more often associated with emerging-market currencies .
Barrow noted that the dollar has held up well versus emerging-market currencies , which means the risk may be mainly against other developed-world currencies , like the euro , Japanese yen and Swiss franc .
Interest rate cuts and other easing measures by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drop in Treasury yields to or near all-time lows , have significantly reduced the US rate premium versus other “ safe ” currencies .
What ’ s really important , according to Barrow , are other factors , like the liquidity of assets , particularly government bonds .
The near-freeze-up of the US Treasury market at the height of the Covid-19 crisis earlier this year marked a “ bit of a wobble , ” he said .
That could be a problem if it makes traders and investors reluctant to head for Treasuries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Economic Uncertainty Index showed that US uncertainty has soared to levels similar to those in the rest of the world , while it had been significantly below global levels before the pandemic .
According to Barrow , there are other factors that could lead to dollar weakness , but the underlying question is whether the dollar can be trusted .
“ For if trust has disappeared in the US ’ economy , policy making , election credibility and more , then the dollar could be in for a slump , at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said .

Prince Andrew Used Puppet of Himself to Grope Epstein Accuser , Another Woman , Court Docs Claim A new witness came forward the other day , saying she saw Prince Andrew chatting and dancing with Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre , claim which essentially contradicts the Duke ’ s account of events about the highly-scrutinised night in March 2001 .
Prince Andrew used a Spitting Image puppet of himself , given to him by his billionaire acquaintance Jeffrey Epstein and his suspected “ madam ” Ghislaine Maxwell , to grope two of Esptein ’ s accusers , one of these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manuscript , released at the behest of New York Judge Loretta Preska and cited by The Mirror .
The groping , she claims , took place in the first floor study of Epstein ’ s Manhattan penthouse , frequently referred to as the “ House of Horrors ” , before being taken to the so-called “ dungeon ” to perform an erotic massage on Andrew .
The accuser earlier claimed that “ madam ” Maxwell , who is alleged to have procured young girls for Epstein for sex , pressed her to have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on 10 March 2001 – something Andrew has since vehemently denied .
He has yet to comment on the latest allegations , which came in after the Duke ’ s name resurfaced in the Esptein criminal case following Maxwell ’ s arrest in early July .

She claimed that all she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an impression of being thoroughly entertained by what was going on , by “ their lewd gestures ” , “ and when Andrew cupped my breast with a doll made in his image , I only giggled away ” , Giuffre recalled .
She went on to mention another woman – Johanna Sjoberg , who was also purportedly made to sit on Andrew ’ s lap and fondled with the puppet .
Sjoberg has previously described the sexualised gestures ostensibly made by Andrew with his Spitting Image puppet .
She made the comments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s civil defamation case against Maxwell , from which the newly released files are taken .
Pictures of the room in which the women claim to have been abused surfaced after Epstein ’ s New York mansion was put up for sale for £69 million , following the convicted paedophile taking his own life while awaiting trial on new child sex trafficking charges .
The latest allegations come after a royal insider dismissed a new witness ’ s claims she saw Prince Andrew with her own eyes in a nightclub with Virginia Roberts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night he is accused of having sex with her .
Somalian-born Shukri Walker , who said she had herself been trafficked for sexual activities from Kenya as a teenager , claimed the Duke dancedand had the time of his life with Epstein ’ s alleged victim .

prisonplanet--2020-08-05--Face masks at home: The latest sign that public health officials have lost any sense of perspective

Face masks at home : The latest sign that public health officials have lost any sense of perspective There ’ s still no universal agreement on whether face masks can really prevent the spread of Covid-19 , but it ’ s now being suggested they should be worn even at home .
So , where is this appetite for restrictions going to end ?
Anyone who ’ s followed the demands of public health authorities in recent years will know that no level of restriction on personal autonomy is ever enough .
There ’ s always another big idea that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tackle obesity , for example , it ’ s never sufficient to tell people to eat less and move more .
In the UK , we ’ ve had taxes on sugary drinks , restrictions on the size of chocolate bars and other snacks , and endless nagging campaigns .
So , it ’ s no surprise that once a government starts to make face masks mandatory in one place , it soon deems it necessary to wear them in other places .
For months , the UK government held the line that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in controlling Covid-19 was weak .
Indeed , following the line from the World Health Organization , senior health officials argued that routinely wearing a mask was not only useless but could make matters worse .
The virus is too small to be stopped by anything but the most non-porous masks , we were assured .
Moreover , untrained people wearing a flimsy ‘ surgical ’ mask or a simple cloth mask would inevitably fiddle with them , it was suggested .
If they happened to be infected themselves , they could touch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , infecting those surfaces with the virus .
Since the early days of the pandemic , some have argued that this advice was wrong .
Face masks , they said , could be useful .
In June , the World Health Organization amended its advice to say face masks were advisable in situations where social distancing was impossible , such as on crowded public transport .
While the UK government then made regulatory the wearing of masks on trains , Tubes and buses , it seemed less than convinced that they should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But since then , there has been a bout of mask mania .
Whether to wear a mask or not has become entwined with the wider culture wars .
Not wearing a mask is seen as a defiant statement of autonomy , while wearing a mask is a signal you are an educated , caring individual who puts protecting society above personal inconvenience .
By mid-July , just a day after senior ministers had publicly declared they weren ’ t necessary , masks became mandatory in shops .
And the result !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in more and more places .
Last week , British PM Boris Johnson announced that mandatory mask-wearing would be extended to other enclosed public spaces , such as museums , churches and cinemas .
Yet social distancing is perfectly possible in these places .
Museums only ever get seriously crowded when they are either tourist hotspots or during blockbuster exhibitions , when rarely seen artworks are put on show for a limited time , and those problems can easily be dealt with by restricting ticket sales .
In Spain , many regions demand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their own homes .
This is clearly bonkers .
There is a very low risk of catching this virus outdoors and donning a face mask would make precious little difference to that .
Now , news comes from the US that even the respite of being able to close your front door and take off your mask might be taken away .
Dr Deborah Birx , the White House ’ s coronavirus task force co-ordinator , has warned that the rise in positive tests marks a “ new phase ” of the pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ definitely need to take more precautions ” .
She added : “ If you ’ re in multi-generation households and there ’ s an outbreak in your rural area or in your city , you need to really consider wearing a mask at home , assuming … you have individuals in your house with comorbidities.
” Some people , such as the elderly and those with an existing serious illness , certainly do need to take extra care .
If they contract the virus , the resulting disease is more likely to lead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ someone in your own home has the disease , there might indeed be sense in taking every possible precaution .
But routinely wearing masks at home if there is simply an outbreak in your city is just crazy .
Even where there are apparent outbreaks , the risk still seems low .
For example , the English city of Leicester recently had lockdown regulations re-imposed because it was estimated that 0.15 % of the population was infected .
Large parts of north-west England are now facing restrictions on households meeting each other due @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even than those in Leicester .
At what point would Birx trigger an alert for everyone to wear masks 24/7 ?
Is there any end to the impositions that will be placed on us in the name of stopping coronavirus ?
Meanwhile , the Netherlands has taken a different approach .
In keeping with the WHO ’ s advice , wearing a face mask on public transport is mandatory .
But everywhere else , the Dutch government doesn ’ t even advise people to wear masks , never mind make them compulsory .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Institute for Public Health and the Environment , said : “ Face masks in public places are not necessary , based on all the current evidence .
There is no benefit and there may even be a negative impact.
” If the science on face masks is so clear cut , why are countries taking such different approaches to the question ?
The stories of significant virus outbreaks suggest it ’ s transmitted in situations where there is sustained , close personal contact .
Recent clusters in the UK have included a farm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dormitories , and a call centre .
Other notable outbreaks around the world have occurred in meat-processing plants , in churches , at networking conferences and even as a result of choir practices – all places and occasions where people couldn ’ t keep their distance from one another or where it had yet to be realised that close contact could be dangerous .
What we don ’ t hear about is sustained transmission from meeting people outdoors or in shops .
Perhaps in other countries , people are more gregarious in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ word to strangers while grabbing their groceries .
The only people they really talk to are the workers at the checkout , who are now safely behind Perspex screens .
Face masks in these situations surely make little or no difference .
The call for wearing face masks at home shows how public health officials will always chase every small possible risk .
It ’ s up to the politicians to balance the marginal benefit from every extra precaution against the imposition on our personal liberty , but many are as enthusiastic about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the 1980s , in response to the AIDS pandemic , the American author Susan Sontag noted the “ striking readiness of so many to envisage the most far-reaching of catastrophes ” .
Not so much ‘ Apocalypse Now ’ as ‘ Apocalypse From Now On ’ .
The overblown reaction to Covid-19 , and the complete loss of perspective among public health officials , seems to confirm her point .

prisonplanet--2020-08-05--Off you go, then! Most Germans in favor of US troops’ pull-out from their country – poll

Off you go , then !
Most Germans in favor of US troops ’ pull-out from their country – poll Donald Trump is withdrawing US troops from Germany to ‘ punish ’ Berlin for buying Russian gas and for not contributing enough to NATO , but a fresh survey shows that people in that country are actually glad that ’ s he doing so .
Around 47 percent of participants in research conducted by pollster YouGov on behalf of DPA news agency , said they were in favor of the Pentagon ’ s decision to pull out almost 12,000 American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in four surveyed Germans insisted that the US military presence in the country should be reduced to zero .
Only 28 percent thought that the 36,000-strong contingent must remain as it is , while four percent said that they wanted more American soldiers .
The others declined to answer .
The views of the German public on the issue are in sharp contrast with those of the country ’ s politicians .
Five out of six parliamentary groups in the Bundestag have been opposing the withdrawal , with only the Left Party saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Instead of strengthening NATO , it ’ s going to weaken the alliance , ” Norbert Rottgen , who stands to succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel at the helm of the Christian Democrats Union , said of the US move .
The leader of the Christian Social Union , Markus Soder , also warned that the pullout out “ puts a burden on the German-American relationship.
” Last week , US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper announced that the Pentagon would withdraw almost 12,000 troops from Germany , which was a significant increase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Trump , whose relations with Germany and Chancellor Angela Merkel have been rocky from the start of his presidency , recently pointed out that the US can ’ t remain committed to protecting Germany from Russia when it “ pays Russia billions of dollars a year for energy ” and “ is very delinquent in their 2 % fee to NATO.

WHO Conducted “Extensive Interviews” With Wuhan Scientists Amid Efforts To Prove Virus Didn’t Escape Lab

WHO Conducted “ Extensive Interviews ” With Wuhan Scientists Amid Efforts To Prove Virus Didn ’ t Escape Lab The World Health Organization – which praised China ’ s early efforts at ‘ containing ’ COVID-19 , parroted CCP propaganda about transmissibility , and refused to declare a pandemic until March 11 ( allegedly at the request of Chinese President Xi Jinping ) – has conducted “ extensive discussions ” with scientists in Wuhan to piece together the ‘ natural ’ origin of the outbreak , according to Reuters .
The ‘ fact finding mission ’ included talks on animal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spokesman .
“ The team had extensive discussions with Chinese counterparts and received updates on epidemiological studies , biologic and genetic analysis and animal health research , ” said the WHO ’ s Christian Lindmeir , who added that the investigation included video discussions with Wuhan virologists and scientists .
The WHO ’ s official position is that COVID-19 crossed over from bats to humans through an unknown intermediary animal – and has ruled out the possibility that the Wuhan-based virus escaped the Wuhan Institute of Virology , whose lead bat scientist Shi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2015 over the genetic modifyication of bat coronaviruses for human transmissibility .
In mid-April , the Washington Post reported that the US State Department received two cables from US Embassy officials in 2018 warning of inadequate safety at Wuhan Institute of Virology , which was conducting ‘ risky studies ’ on bat coronaviruses , according to the report – which noted that the cables “ fueled discussions inside the U.S. government about whether this or another Wuhan lab was the source of the virus.
” And so , the WHO ’ three-week ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in animal health and epidemiology , have been “ tasked with laying the groundwork for a broader team of Chinese and international experts that will seek to discover how the virus that causes COVID-19 jumped the species barrier from animals to humans , ” according to the report .
Notably – US experts have been excluded from the WHO mission , while the organization ’ s chief of emergencies , Mike Ryan , offered a hint as to the direction this ‘ natural origin ’ hunt is going – saying in a statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was triggered ( in Wuhan ) doesn ’ t necessarily mean that that is where the disease crossed from animals to human.
” We wonder if the WHO asked why Beijing ordered labs across China to destroy coronavirus samples in early January ?

Democrats Up Stimulus Demand To $ 3.4 Trillion In Odd Negotiating Tactic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just revealed that Congressional Democrats not only won ’ t budge on their $ 3 trillion stimulus packagepassed by the House in May – she ’ s upped the demand to $ 3.4 trillion in order to ‘ settle ’ on a deal .

prisonplanet--2020-08-05--Did The “Mushroom Cloud” Explosion In Beirut Just Push The Middle East Closer To A Major War?

Did The “ Mushroom Cloud ” Explosion In Beirut Just Push The Middle East Closer To A Major War ?
2020 just keeps getting weirder .
On Tuesday , an absolutely massive explosion caused a red mushroom cloud to rise high over the city of Beirut , Lebanon .
It is being called “ Beirut ’ s Hiroshima ” , and the blast was heard as far away as Cyprus .
You can watch a two minute compilation that contains video clips of the explosion from several different angles right here .
It appears that the shockwave did even more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and at this hour a large portion of the city of Beirut lies in ruins .
Dozens are dead , thousands are injured , and the entire city is now in a state of complete chaos… It is being reported that Beirut ’ s port “ is totally destroyed ” , and this comes at a really bad time because Lebanon is already in the midst of an epic economic collapse .
In recent months , we have become accustomed to hearing about “ mystery explosions ” all over the Middle East , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indicate that the region is on the brink of a full-blown war .
But this incident was different .
A large section of the capital of Lebanon has been flattened , and many eyewitnesses are comparing the blast to a nuclear explosion .
Here is one example… And even Beirut Governor Marwan Aboud brought up “ Hiroshima ” and “ Nagasaki ” when asked about the explosion… Immediately after this happened , a lot of people began wondering if this was an Israeli attack , but that does not appear to be the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told AFP that “ Israel had nothing to do with the incident ” , and Benny Gantz has actually offered to send humanitarian aidto Beirut… If Israel really had been behind this attack , I seriously doubt that they would be offering to patch up their enemies .
And this isn ’ t Israel ’ s style either .
The Israelis prefer surgical strikes that avoid civilian casualties as much as possible , and this explosion definitely does not fit that profile .
Instead , it appears that this was some sort of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ admitted that 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate were stored in the unit that exploded , and that amount of ammonium nitrate can definitely produce the sort of explosion that we just witnessed… But Donald Trump is apparently not buying that explanation .
He told the press that the explosion “ was an attack ” and that it was caused by “ a bomb of some kind ” … At least 60 people were killed and thousands were wounded in an explosion that caused widespread damage in the Lebanese capital .
Trump said he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ generals ” and that they “ seem to feel ” that the explosion was not an accident .
“ According to them – they would know better than I would – but they seem to think it was an attack , ” Trump told reporters at the White House .
“ It was a bomb of some kind.
” If this really was an attack , the Lebanese are going to want revenge , because a substantial portion of their capital city has been absolutely decimated .
And needless to say , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ East that are eagerly pointing a finger of blame at Israel and are calling for war .
But unlike the “ mystery explosions ” that have been happening in Iran , the evidence does not indicate that Israel had anything to do with this great tragedy .
Unfortunately , a lot of people out there are going to jump to their own conclusions , and many of those that hate Israel will use this as another justification to call for armed conflict .
Over the past couple of years , there have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a major war could break out at any time in the Middle East .
And here in 2020 , tensions are running higher than ever .
The IDF has been regularly hitting Iranian and Hezbollah targets all over the region , and we just witnessed a harrowing confrontation on the Syrian border .
It appears that it is just a matter of time before a huge war erupts in the Middle East , and it certainly isn ’ t going to take much to trigger one .
So could this explosion push the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hope not , but without a doubt this blast is not going to help matters .
The devastation that we just witnessed has caused great pain and anger in Lebanon , and terror groups such as Hezbollah will inevitably try to channel all of that pain and anger in a way that furthers their ultimate goals .

prisonplanet--2020-08-05--Scientists Have Warned That A 400 Foot Tsunami Could Hit The East Coast If An Asteroid Hit The Atlan

Scientists Have Warned That A 400 Foot Tsunami Could Hit The East Coast If An Asteroid Hit The Atlantic Ocean We live at a time when giant space rocks are whizzing past our planet with alarming regularity .
Sometimes we know in advance that they are coming , and sometimes we don ’ t .
In fact , on July 28th an asteroid the size of a car zipped past our planet “ at a range that rivals the orbits of some high-flying satellites ” , but we had only spotted it for the very first time on July 26th @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that one until it was nearly upon us , could it be possible that there are much larger potential threats hurtling toward our planet that we currently know nothing about ?
In 1998 , a big Hollywood movie entitled “ Deep Impact ” imagined what would happen if a very large asteroid hit the Atlantic Ocean .
It is hard to believe that it has been more than 20 years since it first came out , because I can still remember it very vividly .
In one of the most memorable scenes in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is hundreds of feet tall slams into the east coast of the United States causing immense death and destruction .
But that is just a movie .
Could something similar actually happen in real life ?
On Tuesday , a British news source reminded us that scientists have discovered that such a scenario is actually a very real possibility… Of course an asteroid could potentially hit anywhere on the planet , but in their research Ward and Asphaug specifically focused on the Atlantic Ocean , and what their computer simulation came up with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the researchers chose an impact site consistent with the orientation of the Earth at the time of the predicted encounter – in the Atlantic Ocean about 360 miles from the US coast .
Dr Ward explained that the 60,000-megaton blast of the impact could vaporise the asteroid and blow a cavity in the ocean 11 miles across and all the way down to the seafloor , which is about three miles deep at that point .
Such an impact would send a series of giant waves in all directions , including toward the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Today , almost 40 percent of the U.S. population lives in a county that directly borders a shoreline , and the population density right along the east coast is particularly dense .
Florida would probably be the first state to get hit by the waves , and it would be particularly vulnerable because most of the state is just barely above sea level… South Florida has two big problems .
The first is its remarkably flat topography .
Half the area that surrounds Miami is less than five feet above sea level .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ridge that runs from Palm Beach to just south of the city , averages a scant 12 feet .
With just three feet of sea-level rise , more than a third of southern Florida will vanish ; at six feet , more than half will be gone ; if the seas rise 12 feet , South Florida will be little more than an isolated archipelago surrounded by abandoned buildings and crumbling overpasses .
And the waters won ’ t just come in from the east – because the region is so flat , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fast from the west too , through the Everglades .
In other words , there would be absolutely nothing to keep the tsunami waves from racing across the entire state .
Much of the rest of the east coast would be extremely vulnerable as well .
For example , New York City is less than 50 feet above sea level… Boston , New Haven , Jersey City , Newark , Atlantic City , Philadelphia , Virginia Beach , Wilmington , Myrtle Beach , Charleston , Savannah and countless other east coast cities are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sea level .
So we are talking about the potential for death and destruction on a scale that is unimaginable .
Washington D.C. would fare a little bit better , because some parts of the D.C. area are up to 410 feet above sea level… So I would rather be in D.C. than New York or Boston when a giant tsunami hits , but without a doubt the devastation would be immense in our capital city as well .
We should hope that such an event can be put off for as long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ warned that our planet is apparently “ in the midst of an epic asteroid surge ” … And as I noted at the beginning of this article , we are still discovering more asteroids all the time .
The one that was discovered on July 26th was not a threat , but it did come alarmingly close to us… Despite all of our advanced technology , we remain extremely vulnerable , and scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before our luck runs out and a gigantic space rock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that we do not currently know about any asteroids that appear to be an imminent threat .
But of course the bad news is that there are plenty of asteroids that we still haven ’ t discovered yet , and one or more of them could possibly be traveling directly toward us .

Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate Praises Company For Firing Woman Who Posted “All Lives Matter” on Facebook

Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate Praises Company For Firing Woman Who Posted “ All Lives Matter ” on Facebook Move over Gary Johnson , there ’ s a new idiot in town .
Libertarian Party presidential nominee Jo Jorgensen praised a company for firing an employee who had posted “ all lives matter ” on her private Facebook page as an example of the free market standing up against “ systemic racism.
” During a C-SPAN interview , Jorgensen argued that Rosa Parks was discriminated against because , “ what a lot of people don ’ t realize is that that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the only way that racism was able to go on for so long was the government was putting it into place.
” She then claimed that it ’ s harder for private companies to engage in ‘ systemic racism ’ because they would go out of business , before celebrating the fact that a woman lost her job for posting “ all lives matter ” on her Facebook page .
“ There was a woman who on her private Facebook — this was highly publicized — her private Facebook put ‘ All @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fired her , ” Jorgensen stated .
“ And what I ’ d like to make note of she wasn ’ t talking to or wasn ’ t tweeting a coworker , an employee , a customer , a client , anybody like that , and this was her private Facebook , not the company Facebook , and yet the company said ‘ OK , we don ’ t tolerate that . '
” Maybe someone should point out to Jorgensen that saying “ all lives matter ” isn ’ t remotely racist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in fact a racist position .
Under her ideal system , woke corporations would feel even more empowered to trample free speech , opening up millions more Americans to be viciously targeted by cancel culture mobs who intimidate and bully companies into policing their employees ’ behavior .
Jorgensen also claimed that “ private companies can not discriminate as easily and get off as scot-free as the federal government.
” Presumably she missed the last 4 years of rampant social media censorship , which has overwhelming targeted libertarians and conservatives .
No wonder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

prisonplanet--2020-08-05--NYC to Impose COVID Checkpoints to Enforce Quarantine Order

Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced that he will set up COVID checkpoints around New York City in an attempt to catch anyone who flouts their 14 day quarantine order .
Anyone arriving in NYC from 34 states and Puerto Rico is subject to a strict 14 day stay at home order and faces large fines if they violate the rule .
That will now be enforced with manned coronavirus checkpoints where those caught violating their quarantine will be penalized .
“ Starting Wednesday , the city will implement COVID-19 checkpoints at key entry points into the city , de @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , though the mayor said one will appear at Penn Station on Thursday .
Another is planned for Port Authority.
” “ The city hopes to implement “ full-fledged checkpoints ” where viable and hold them at other locations where they ’ re unlikely to create major traffic backups .
De Blasio says the city stands ready to assist travelers who need a safe place to isolate for 14 days .
The test and trace team has already made nearly 90,000 calls to travelers affected by the quarantine order and sent nearly 21,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ traveling around NYC with astronomical fines that could run as high as $ 10,000 , he has simultaneously overseen an emptying of prisons that has led to skyrocketing crime across New York .
As we highlighted last month , shootings soared by a whopping 277 per cent compared to the same week last year .
In June , it was reported that there had been 38 murders over the last 28 days up until June 14 , twice as many as the previous year .
Despite soaring crime , the Mayor also devoted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guard a Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower .
One method to avoid interrogation at coronavirus checkpoints may be to state that you have attended a BLM protest .
“ The hundreds of contact tracing workers hired by the city under de Blasio ’ s new “ test and trace ” campaign have been instructed not to ask anyone who ’ s tested positive for COVID-19 whether they recently attended a demonstration , ” reported The City back in June .
Lest we forget that de Blasio also urged New Yorkers to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus ” and visit the cinema as late as March 2nd .

Biden Stumbles Over His Words While Asserting He Doesn ’ t Need to Take a Cognitive Test “ My physical and mental phil…my physical as well as my mental phil.
” Joe Biden was caught in yet another embarrassing situation during an on camera appearance as he stumbled over his words while asserting that he didn ’ t need to take a cognitive test .

That ’ s like saying , before you got in this program , you ’ re taking a test whether you ’ re taking cocaine or not .

Biden then shot himself in the foot yet again by stumbling over the words “ my physical and mental ” fitness not once but twice .
“ I am very willing to let the American public judge my physical and mental phil…my physical as well as my mental phil…fitness , ” said Biden , getting it right the third time .

Poll : Only 42 % Say They Will Submit To Coronavirus Vaccine The figure represents an all time low A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll has found that just 42 percent of Americans say they plan to get a coronavirus vaccine when it becomes available .
The figure represents an all time low , having fallen from 55 percent in early May , 50 percent in late May , and 46 percent in July .
When asked “ If and when a coronavirus vaccine becomes available , will you get vaccinated ?
” many fewer Americans across the political spectrum answered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Democrats now plan to get vaccinated , with 55 % saying they will still take the jab .
Among Republicans , only 37 % say they are willing to get vaccinated , with even fewer independents , 34 % , willing to take the vaccine .
Assistant professor of biostatistics at the University of Florida Natalie Dean has noted “ Why should we expect Americans to agree to a vaccine before one is even available ?
” Writing recently in the New York Times , Dean noted “ I ’ m a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place myself in the ‘ not sure ’ bucket.
” “ What we have right now is a collection of animal data , immune response data and safety data based on early trials and from similar vaccines for other diseases .
The evidence that would convince me to get a COVID-19 vaccine , or to recommend that my loved ones get vaccinated , does not yet exist.
” Dean asserted .
On Wednesday , Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said that it is “ realistic ” to expect a coronavirus vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is “ very credible ” to expect “ tens of millions of doses ” to become available by the end of the year , and “ hundreds of millions ” by 2021 .
“ We have seen , under President Trump ’ s leadership , the most historic advances in the development of vaccines we have ever seen in human history , ” Azar claimed in an interview with Fox News .
“ The United States now has six vaccines that we have placed major investments in .
Four of them have already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ results .
And two of them are already in the advanced final phase three studies .
Others will advance there soon.
” Azar added .
“ It ’ s really just President Trump has marshaled the whole of the U.S. government and our biopharmaceutical industry .
It ’ s incredible , ” Azar proclaimed .

prisonplanet--2020-08-06--Danish Immigration Minister Admits Integration Policy is a “Fiasco”

Only 17 % of Syrian women have jobs 5 years after moving to the country .
Denmark ’ s immigration minister has admitted that his country ’ s integration policy is a “ fiasco , ” noting that just 17 per cent of Syrian women are in work 5 years after moving to the country .
Mattias Tesfaye , himself the son of an Ethiopian immigrant father , drew attention to the statistic which is featured in a new integration report that reveals less than half of Syrian men have found employment after the same time period of being in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not afford to be surprised .
When we pursue the same integration policy , then we also get the same results , ” said Tesfaye , noting that immigrants from countries such as Thailand , the Philippines , and China do far better than Middle Eastern migrants .
“ It is no longer a matter of ramping the transfers up and down .
Or amending some points in immigration policy .
It is about changing the requirements for newcomers who will begin their lives in Denmark , ” said Tesfaye .
To tackle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no longer offer newly arrived “ refugees ” social security benefits .
Instead they will immediately have to find a job or be enrolled in a 37 hour a week integration program .
Noting that the policy must be based around the fact that some immigrants integrate better than others , Tesfaye vowed to send migrants back as soon as their home country was deemed to be safe .
“ The new thing now is that we will also demand a return trip .
Refugees must return home when there is peace in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Syrians will be the first group where temporary residence really means temporary residence.
” Years prior to the 2015 influx of “ refugees ” from the Middle East , German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted that the country ’ s attempts to create a multicultural society had “ utterly failed.
” She then proceeded to open the floodgates to around 2 million migrants who headed to Europe .
Some of those migrants contributed to soaring violent crime and sexual assault rates , while terror attacks such as the Paris massacre were also directly connected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a war on free speech .

Former US Secretary of Labor Robert Reich is a champion of affordable housing — just so long as it ’ s not in his pricey Berkeley neighborhood .
He ’ s currently being panned on Twitter for writing a letter to Berkeley officials asking them to block an affordable housing development ( 10 new homes with 1 being for low income ) two doors down from his $ 1.6 million home where a rather dilapidated old home currently stands .
Reich is urging Berkeley officials to declare the house a historic “ landmark.
” “ If historic preservation means anything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ character of an older neighborhood to remind people of its history and provide continuity with the present , ” Reich wrote .
“ Development for the sake of development makes no sense when it imposes social costs like this.

prisonplanet--2020-08-06--New York Times Quietly Scrubs Paid Chinese Propaganda From Website

The New York Times has terminated its relationship with Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) mouthpiece China Daily – and has quietly deleted hundreds of CCP propaganda ‘ advertorials ’ from its website , according to the Washington Free Beacon .
The move comes as US institutions have fallen under the microscope for cozy relationships with the China over their oppression of Uighur Muslims among other human rights abuses .
The Times ‘ s decision to end its partnership with China Daily is part of a society-wide reckoning about the cozy relationships between the Chinese government and American institutions , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While the paper is responsible for some of the most gut-wrenching stories about Chinese government oppression , it has also run more than 200 propaganda articles in the last decade , some of which sugar-coated China ’ s human rights abuses .
One 2019 video ad , for example , promoted Xinjiang tourism by depicting the oppressed Uyghur people as content under Chinese rule .
–Washington Free Beacon China Daily has been purchasing ‘ advertorials ’ in mainstream US media outlets for over a decade – disseminating Chinese propaganda through misleading advertisements disguised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report , the Times , the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal have taken in millions of dollars from the Chinese government for said ads .
Giving the Times the benefit of the doubt for their copious reports exposing CCP abuses , Rep. Jim Banks ( R-IN ) – a member of the China Task Force who has made strides in reducing Chinese propaganda – applauded the move by the Times , saying in a statement : “ The New York Times has done excellent , detailed reporting on the ongoing Communist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world .
That reporting has finally had an effect—at the New York Times—and it no longer supports covering up the CCP ’ s barbarity .
I hope the other outlets follow suit and start putting American values over Communist bribes.
” After the Free Beacon found that China Daily failed to follow federal disclosure requirements about its relationship with U.S. media outlets , Banks and 34 other Congressional Republicans demanded a Justice Department probe into the outlet .
Following the demand , China Daily submitted a revised disclosure of its U.S. activities since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its ties with U.S. media organs .
The new disclosure revealed that the Post and the Journal each received more than $ 100,000 per month to run print versions of Chinese propaganda articles .
The Times received $ 50,000 in 2018 to place the propaganda on its website , presumably a small fraction of the revenue it made selling print space to China Daily .
