WABC wanted to know precisely how many people have been doing this in New York City , and the information that they were able to get from the United States Postal Service really surprised them… In fact , those numbers show that over 246,000 New Yorkers “ have filed a change of address request ” just since the month of March… Of course , people have been moving away from other major @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and this has created a tremendous glut of empty apartments that need to be filled .

In fact , the number of background checks that have been conducted this year has already broken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year… While other industries have been deeply struggling in 2020 , the gun industry is having a banner year , and many expect that to continue in 2021 .
In a previous article , I discussed the fact that millions of Americans are also focused on storing up food right now .

Well , there is no easy answer .
Of course many are concerned about the upcoming election , but that will come and go .

Every day we get more evidence that our society is unraveling right in front of our eyes , and I work very hard to document that evidence for my readers .
We are heading into times that are going to be absolutely catastrophic for our nation , and on a gut level a lot of people out there know that this is true .
So we should certainly not blame anyone that wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , buy guns and stockpile lots of food .
In the end , the truth is that it is probably what just about all of us should be doing .

Why are so many Americans suddenly relocating, buying guns and storing up huge quantities of food?
hat countless Americans have been doing in recent months. WABC wanted to know precisely how many people have been doing this in New York City, and the information that they were able to get from the United States Postal Service really surprised them…
7 On Your Side Investigates requested from the United States Postal Service how many families requested a change of address and moved to zip codes outside of New York City, and the numbers are big.
In fact, those numbers show that over 246,000 New Yorkers “have filed a change of address request” just since the month of March…
Overall since March, more than 246,000 people have filed a change of address request. That’s an almost 100% increase compared to the same time period in 2019.
Of course, people have been moving away from other major cities in very large numbers as well, and this has created a tremendous glut of empty apartments that need to be filled.
Because there is now so much supply and so little demand, apartment rental prices have been plummeting, and this has especially been the case in the San Francisco area…
San Francisco saw the prices fall the furthest in September, according to data from Realtor.com, with costs for a one-bedroom unit falling by 24.2%. Two other cities in California – San Mateo and Santa Clara – experienced the second and third largest drop in average one-bedroom rent prices, followed by Suffolk, Mass., and Manhattan.
Meanwhile, demand for housing in desirable rural and suburban areas has been skyrocketing.
For example, we are being told that there is a “stunning real estate boom” going on in Maine right now…
Maine has seen a stunning real estate boom as buyers from New York City, Boston and Washington DC flee for quieter pastures amid the pandemic, causing home values to surge 17 percent, supply to hit a historic low and properties to fly off the market in a matter of 11 days.
If I was looking to relocate to the Northeast, Maine would definitely be one of the places that I would consider. It is quite beautiful, crime is generally not a major problem, and the population density is very low.
According to one real estate agent, people have been calling and asking her to “get me any house in Maine”, and she is doing her best to fulfill those requests.
Meanwhile, Americans have been feverishly buying guns as well.
In fact, the number of background checks that have been conducted this year has already broken the all-time record that was set last year…
The FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) – a widely accepted proxy – shows a 41% increase in activity during the first nine months of this year, compared to the same period in 2019, which was a record year. With 28.8 million background checks through the end of September, this year’s surge has already surpassed last year’s all-time high of 28.4 million.
While other industries have been deeply struggling in 2020, the gun industry is having a banner year, and many expect that to continue in 2021.
In a previous article, I discussed the fact that millions of Americans are also focused on storing up food right now. In fact, one recent survey discovered that more than 50 percent of Americans “already have or plan to stockpile food and other essentials”…
Slightly more than half of Americans in a recent poll from Sports and Leisure Research Group say they already have or plan to stockpile food and other essentials. The chief reason: fears of a resurgent pandemic, which could lead to disruptions such as new restrictions on businesses. On Oct. 2, the number of COVID-19 cases in the USA was its highest in almost two months.
At this point, so many Americans are stockpiling food that it has actually caused a very serious shortage of Mason jars…
COVID-19 has caused shortages in coins, lumber and even aluminum cans. Now, add Mason jars to the list.
According to one small business owner, a twelve pack of jars will now often sell for “as much as $70”…
“Some of them are as much as $70 for one 12 twelve pack of jars and they should be between $10 and $12 but nothing less than $20 dollars for a box of jars. So we can’t sell them at that, you know you just can’t make money doing that,” said Robin Hannon, owner of Timmy Crack Corn.
So why are so many Americans going to such extremes all of a sudden?
Well, there is no easy answer.
Of course many are concerned about the upcoming election, but that will come and go.
Others are worried that the next wave of the coronavirus pandemic could be even worse than what we have already experienced, but by now it has become clear that this isn’t the sort of pandemic that is going to kill millions of us.
Some people that I talk to believe that our economic problems and the civil unrest in our major cities will get worse, and I agree with that assessment.
But is that really a reason to pack up everything and head for the hills?
Ultimately, I think that many Americans understand that everything that we have been through so far is just the leading edge of something much larger.
Whether you want to call it “the big meltdown”, “the collapse of society” or “the perfect storm”, the truth is that the party is ending.
Every day we get more evidence that our society is unraveling right in front of our eyes, and I work very hard to document that evidence for my readers.
We are heading into times that are going to be absolutely catastrophic for our nation, and on a gut level a lot of people out there know that this is true.
So we should certainly not blame anyone that wants to move to the middle of nowhere, buy guns and stockpile lots of food.
In the end, the truth is that it is probably what just about all of us should be doing.

US Budget Deficit Triples To Record $ 3.1 Trillion In 2020 As US Spends 90 % More Than It Collects And you thought the usurper Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah spent us into debt !
In an incredible report , we ’ re learning that the US budget deficit has tripled under President Donald Trump , you know the guy who told us we ’ d be out of debt in 8 years ?
Now we ’ re spending , and I might add unconstitutionally spending , 90 % more than we collect .
Zero Hedge has the story : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surge in US public debt ( excluding the roughly $ 100 trillion in off-balance sheet obligations ) , which exploded by $ 3 trillion in the three months following the covid shutdowns and which just hit an all-time high $ 27.1 trillion this week , will be all too aware that the US budget deficit this year – and every year after – will be staggering .
Sure enough , in the latest just released deficit report , the Treasury announced that in September the US burned through another $ 124.6BN , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ billion deficit reported in August , was a whopping 50 % more than the $ 82.8 billion deficit last September .
Specifically according to the Treasury , in August , government outlays were $ 497.8 billion , up $ 74 billion from the $ 423.3 billion spent in August , and a whopping 71 % more than the $ 291 billion the US spent last September… … while receipts rebounded from the $ 223.2 billion received in August to $ 373.2 billion , and effectively identical to the $ 374 billion collected last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still pays taxes in a time of helicopter money , when the Fed simply purchases whatever debt the Treasury issues , remains ) .
The chart below shows the September 2020 breakdown between various receipts and outlays .

And since outlays equal receipts plus the deficit , this means that for fiscal 2020 , the US budget deficit more than tripled to a record $ 3.1 trillion ( compared to “ just ” $ 984 billion in 2019 ) , higher than at any other time in US history ; and , unfortunately , due to “ helicopter money ” it is unlikely that the exploding deficit will ever shrink again until the monetary system is overhauled… or collapses .

US Budget Deficit Triples To Record $3.1 Trillion In 2020 As US Spends 90% More Than It Collects
And you thought the usurper Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah spent us into debt! In an incredible report, we’re learning that the US budget deficit has tripled under President Donald Trump, you know the guy who told us we’d be out of debt in 8 years? Now we’re spending, and I might add unconstitutionally spending, 90% more than we collect.
Zero Hedge has the story:
Those who have been following the record surge in US public debt (excluding the roughly $100 trillion in off-balance sheet obligations), which exploded by $3 trillion in the three months following the covid shutdowns and which just hit an all-time high $27.1 trillion this week, will be all too aware that the US budget deficit this year – and every year after – will be staggering.
Sure enough, in the latest just released deficit report, the Treasury announced that in September the US burned through another $124.6BN, which while modestly better than the $200.1 billion deficit reported in August, was a whopping 50% more than the $82.8 billion deficit last September.
Specifically according to the Treasury, in August, government outlays were $497.8 billion, up $74 billion from the $423.3 billion spent in August, and a whopping 71% more than the $291 billion the US spent last September…
… while receipts rebounded from the $223.2 billion received in August to $373.2 billion, and effectively identical to the $374 billion collected last September (the question of why anyone still pays taxes in a time of helicopter money, when the Fed simply purchases whatever debt the Treasury issues, remains).
The chart below shows the September 2020 breakdown between various receipts and outlays.
What all this means, is that for the full 2020 which ended on Sept 30, the US spent $6.552 trillion and collected just $3.420 trillion, which also means that outlays were a record $3.1 trillion, 91% higher than receipts , which also includes the $9.7BN received last month and $81.9BN YTD in deposits of earnings by the Fed.
And since outlays equal receipts plus the deficit, this means that for fiscal 2020, the US budget deficit more than tripled to a record $3.1 trillion (compared to “just” $984 billion in 2019), higher than at any other time in US history; and, unfortunately, due to “helicopter money” it is unlikely that the exploding deficit will ever shrink again until the monetary system is overhauled… or collapses.
At some point the market will realize that this insanity is simply unsustainable, something which the CBO pointed out in its latest long-term debt forecast.
Until then, however, in the immortal words of Chuck Prince, “as long as the music is playing, you’ve got to get up and dance.”
Well, President Trump was doing a lot of dancing recently, but remember, this is going to come due at some point and the way it is looking, it’s coming a lot sooner than a lot of people think, and re-electing Trump or Joe Biden is not going to stop what’s coming.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-16--FBI Special Agent On Child Porn Gets Involved In Hunter & Joe Biden Scandal

This probably comes as no surprise given former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s “ hands on ” approach to children and women .
Still , while it is yet unknown why a FBI special agent , whose specific crime investigations are on child pornography , was brought in on the case surrounding a laptop that allegedly belonged to Hunter Biden , the case has definitely taken a strange twist .

Other material extracted from the computer includes a raunchy , 12-minute video that appears to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ struggling with addiction problems , smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman , as well as numerous other sexually explicit images .
The customer who brought in the water-damaged MacBook Pro for repair never paid for the service or retrieved it or a hard drive on which its contents were stored , according to the shop owner , who said he tried repeatedly to contact the client .
The shop owner couldn ’ t positively identify the customer as Hunter Biden , but said the laptop bore a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ named after Hunter ’ s late brother and former Delaware attorney general .
Photos of a Delaware federal subpoena given to The Post show that both the computer and hard drive were seized by the FBI in December , after the shop ’ s owner says he alerted the feds to their existence .

But the available evidence seems to show **the Joshua Wilson who signed the subpoena for Hunter Biden ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investigates child pornography for the FBI , are the same person** .
This raises the possibility , not explored by the Post , that the FBI issued the subpoena for reasons unrelated to Hunter Biden ’ s role in Ukraine and Burisma .

But those news outlets also confirm that the shop owner has severe vision problems .
Some commenters have described him as “ legally blind.

In that case , we begin to see possible answers to the two burning questions : Why did Hunter Biden agree to share his income with his wealthy father , and why has the FBI failed to act on the laptop ’ s contents .
Was Joe Biden Blackmailing His Own Son ?
We know that Hunter Biden exploited his father ’ s position as Vice President to win ridiculously lucrative jobs with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma , several Chinese companies and officials , and a $ 3.5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s mayor .
We have learned from the New York Post story that Hunter seems to have arranged a meeting between a Burisma executive and Joe Biden in 2015 .
We know that Joe Biden got a Ukrainian prosecutor fired in exchange for a $ 1 billion gift to the Ukrainian government .
We just learned that Joe Biden demanded at least half of his son ’ s vast income and that Hunter Biden complied with his father ’ s demands .

All of this information leads to one final question .
A question that answers the two burning questions : **Did Joe Biden blackmail his son ?
** Did Joe Biden exploit Hunter ’ s recklessness by pimping him out as a bagman to foreign capitals ?
Did Joe Biden use his influence and power to hamstring FBI investigations of Hunter ?

From Business Insider:
It’s unclear whether the FBI employs more than one agent named Joshua Wilson.

This raises the possibility, not explored by the Post, that the FBI issued the subpoena for reasons unrelated to Hunter Biden’s role in Ukraine and Burisma. The shop owner has told several news outlets that he did not *see* any child pornography on the hard drive. But those news outlets also confirm that the shop owner has severe vision problems. Some commenters have described him as “legally blind.” Suppose the FBI’s child pornography and exploitation division is investigating the laptop. In that case, we begin to see possible answers to the two burning questions: Why did Hunter Biden agree to share his income with his wealthy father, and why has the FBI failed to act on the laptop’s contents.
Was Joe Biden Blackmailing His Own Son?
We know that Hunter Biden exploited his father’s position as Vice President to win ridiculously lucrative jobs with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, several Chinese companies and officials, and a $3.5 million gift from the wife of Moscow’s mayor.
We have learned from the New York Post story that Hunter seems to have arranged a meeting between a Burisma executive and Joe Biden in 2015.
We know that Joe Biden got a Ukrainian prosecutor fired in exchange for a $1 billion gift to the Ukrainian government.
We just learned that Joe Biden demanded at least half of his son’s vast income and that Hunter Biden complied with his father’s demands.
And now we know the FBI sent its child porn expert to seize Hunter Biden’s laptop.
We also know that Hunter Biden has lived a troubled life. The Navy kicked him out for drug abuse. He fathered a child he denies and refuses to support. Photos, both in the press and on the hard drive, reveal a playboy’s lifestyle of travel, drinking, drugs, and women. And constant financial problems despite millions of dollars in income.
Considering the numerous photos of Hunter and Joe together, it is reasonable to assume Joe knows about Hunter’s lifestyle. In other words, Joe Biden knows what’s in Hunter’s closet. And the potential consequences to Hunter’s reputation and freedom.
All of this information leads to one final question. A question that answers the two burning questions: **Did Joe Biden blackmail his son?**
Did Joe Biden exploit Hunter’s recklessness by pimping him out as a bagman to foreign capitals?
Did Joe Biden use his influence and power to hamstring FBI investigations of Hunter?
Therefore, did Hunter Biden feel he had no choice but to turn over half the loot to his “Pops?”
Well, did he? Biden is a pretty creepy man and he certainly isn’t about upholding the law.
I would not put it past him to extort his own sin for gain, would you? But what do we make of a FBI child porn investigator getting in on this?

Firm has received $2.7 million from Omar this cycle
By: Joe Schoffstall, Washington Free Beacon, October 15, 2020:
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) funneled an additional $1.1 million to her husband’s company, bringing her total payments to the firm to $2.7 million for the election cycle, new filings show.
Omar’s campaign filings, released Thursday, show that she sent $1.1 million more to the E Street Group, a political consulting firm owned by her husband, Tim Mynett. The payments account for nearly 70 percent of the $1.6 million Omar’s campaign has disbursed between July 23 and the end of September. They have helped cover advertisements, consulting, travel expenses, and production costs.
Omar has faced criticism on a number of issues since she entered Congress in 2018. Among other things, her lack of transparency about her past marriages has come under fire, and the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board has ordered her to repay thousands for a campaign finance violation.
She now faces a complaint for potentially running afoul of House ethics rules in relation to an advance she received for her memoir.
The freshman “Squad” member has showered her husband’s company with cash this cycle. The E Street Group is the highest paid vendor from the campaign, and Omar had already sent $1.6 million to the group.
With the $1.1. million in new payments, the firm has now received a total of $2.7 million from Omar’s campaign for the 2020 elections.
Prior to tying the knot with Mynett in March, Omar had long denied their romantic involvement. In August divorce filings, Mynett’s then-wife accused the congresswoman of having an affair with her husband.
Omar claimed at the time that she was not separated from then-husband Ahmed Abdisalan
“I have no interest in allowing the conversation about my personal life to continue and so I have no desire to discuss it,” she said.
Mynett, likewise, denied the affair and said his then-wife was attempting to “ruin his career.”
Omar’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-16--Virginia:  Cops Charged After Video Showed Them Execute Unarmed Accountant With 3 Bullets To The Hea

Virginia:  Cops Charged After Video Showed Them Execute Unarmed Accountant With 3 Bullets To The Head

Fairfax County , VA – As TFTP reported , dash cam footage was released that shows police shooting and killing an unarmed man they claimed was responsible for a hit-and-run .
However , the man was actually the victim of a traffic accident and the video shows that he then became the victim of murder by police .
It ’ s been nearly three years since the shooting death of Bijan Ghaisar and the FBI , the Justice Department and Park Police have not given a single reason for the use of deadly force — until now .
The two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have finally been brought to justice .
It will now be up to a jury to see them through it .
Officers Alejandro Amaya and Lucas Vinyard have been indicted on manslaughter charges in the 2017 shooting death of Ghaisar , an unarmed accountant who had reportedly been the victim of a hit and run .
Ghaisar was shot three times in the head , and transported to INOVA Hospital , where he died 10 days later .
He was a first-generation American-born citizen .
He graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2015 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at his family ’ s firm in McLean .
He had no criminal record .
“ At no point did Bijan Ghaisar do anything to cause these officers to believe that their lives or the lives of anybody else was in danger , ” family attorney and former DOJ official Roy Austin said .
After the charges were brought , the Ghaisar family released the following statement Thursday evening : Our heavy hearts are a little lighter tonight knowing that the police officers who murdered our son and brother are closer to being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Too many of the people who are sworn to protect and serve our communities commit heinous acts of violence and go unpunished .
With these charges we are reminded that , at least here in Fairfax County , Officers Alejandro Amaya and Lucas Vinyard are not above the law .
Our Bijan suffered the most brutal terror and cruelty in his final moments of life .
We know this because it was caught on police video and we watched it .
Our family has a permanent hole in it – one that no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possibly fill or heal .
We carry this grief with us as we have fought , and will continue to fight , for justice for Bijan and so many other victims of police brutality .
We will not stop demanding justice for Bijan until we get it – today was a first step .
James and Kelly Ghaisar , Bijan ’ s parents , have done everything they can to try to get answers as to why their son was killed that night .
As TFTP reported in 2018 , they filed a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liable to the tune of $ 25 million .
Now they may see the cops receive justice as well .
The Free Thought Project reported on the fact that no gun was found in the original investigation .
Ghaisar family ’ s lawyers also released police reports provided by Fairfax County , including a report confirming Ghaisar was unarmed .
However , this report did not come out until investigators literally scanned every inch of the scene with metal detectors in an attempt to justify the shooting by finding a gun .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when Ghaisar was rear-ended by an Uber driver , and although he was the victim of the accident , he left the scene .
The accident was reported to the Fairfax Country Police and they treated it as a suspected “ hit-and-run.
” The McLean Patch reported that when police located Ghaisar ’ s car , they attempted to pull it over twice and “ both times two officers appeared to approach Ghaisar ’ s car with weapons drawn before he drove away.
” While police originally attempted to paint this situation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a dangerous suspect who was putting their lives at risk by evading their attempts to arrest him , Ghaisar ’ s family told a very different story .
“ Bijan Ghaisar was repeatedly threatened by over-aggressive and out-of-control law enforcement officers after he drove away from a minor traffic incident in which he was the victim and in which there was little property damage and no known injuries , ” the family said .
While an armed Park Police officer can be seen banging on the window of Ghaisar ’ s car , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officers were giving him at the time .
However , it is clear that the officers were becoming increasingly frustrated with Ghaisar .
He continued to drive away and was followed by both Fairfax County and U.S. Park Police officers .
When Ghaisar stopped at a stop sign , a police cruiser pulled in front of his car to block it , and two officers approached him with guns drawn .
As Ghaisar ’ s vehicle began to move forward once again , two of the U.S. Park Police officers fired nine shots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the head .
These charges were entirely unexpected as the two U.S. Park Police officers had since gone back to work after a brief paid vacation and no word of any discipline has been released .
They likely thought they had gotten off Scot free , and for three years , they had .
But not anymore .

Fairfax County, VA – As TFTP reported, dash cam footage was released that shows police shooting and killing an unarmed man they claimed was responsible for a hit-and-run. However, the man was actually the victim of a traffic accident and the video shows that he then became the victim of murder by police.
It’s been nearly three years since the shooting death of Bijan Ghaisar and the FBI, the Justice Department and Park Police have not given a single reason for the use of deadly force — until now. The two officers involved in the death of Ghaisar have finally been brought to justice. It will now be up to a jury to see them through it.
Officers Alejandro Amaya and Lucas Vinyard have been indicted on manslaughter charges in the 2017 shooting death of Ghaisar, an unarmed accountant who had reportedly been the victim of a hit and run.
Ghaisar was shot three times in the head, and transported to INOVA Hospital, where he died 10 days later. He was a first-generation American-born citizen. He graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2015 and had been working as an accountant at his family’s firm in McLean. He had no criminal record.
“At no point did Bijan Ghaisar do anything to cause these officers to believe that their lives or the lives of anybody else was in danger,” family attorney and former DOJ official Roy Austin said.
After the charges were brought, the Ghaisar family released the following statement Thursday evening:
Our heavy hearts are a little lighter tonight knowing that the police officers who murdered our son and brother are closer to being held accountable for what they did. Too many of the people who are sworn to protect and serve our communities commit heinous acts of violence and go unpunished. With these charges we are reminded that, at least here in Fairfax County, Officers Alejandro Amaya and Lucas Vinyard are not above the law. Our Bijan suffered the most brutal terror and cruelty in his final moments of life. We know this because it was caught on police video and we watched it. Our family has a permanent hole in it – one that no amount of time or any act could possibly fill or heal. We carry this grief with us as we have fought, and will continue to fight, for justice for Bijan and so many other victims of police brutality. We will not stop demanding justice for Bijan until we get it – today was a first step.
James and Kelly Ghaisar, Bijan’s parents, have done everything they can to try to get answers as to why their son was killed that night. As TFTP reported in 2018, they filed a lawsuit and the taxpayers could be held liable to the tune of $25 million. Now they may see the cops receive justice as well.
The Free Thought Project reported on the fact that no gun was found in the original investigation. Ghaisar family’s lawyers also released police reports provided by Fairfax County, including a report confirming Ghaisar was unarmed. However, this report did not come out until investigators literally scanned every inch of the scene with metal detectors in an attempt to justify the shooting by finding a gun.
The incident began on Nov. 17, 2017, when Ghaisar was rear-ended by an Uber driver, and although he was the victim of the accident, he left the scene.
The accident was reported to the Fairfax Country Police and they treated it as a suspected “hit-and-run.” The McLean Patch reported that when police located Ghaisar’s car, they attempted to pull it over twice and “both times two officers appeared to approach Ghaisar’s car with weapons drawn before he drove away.”
While police originally attempted to paint this situation as one in which officers were chasing a dangerous suspect who was putting their lives at risk by evading their attempts to arrest him, Ghaisar’s family told a very different story.
“Bijan Ghaisar was repeatedly threatened by over-aggressive and out-of-control law enforcement officers after he drove away from a minor traffic incident in which he was the victim and in which there was little property damage and no known injuries,” the family said.
While an armed Park Police officer can be seen banging on the window of Ghaisar’s car, it is not clear what directions the officers were giving him at the time.
However, it is clear that the officers were becoming increasingly frustrated with Ghaisar. He continued to drive away and was followed by both Fairfax County and U.S. Park Police officers. When Ghaisar stopped at a stop sign, a police cruiser pulled in front of his car to block it, and two officers approached him with guns drawn.
As Ghaisar’s vehicle began to move forward once again, two of the U.S. Park Police officers fired nine shots into his vehicle—three of which struck him in the head.
These charges were entirely unexpected as the two U.S. Park Police officers had since gone back to work after a brief paid vacation and no word of any discipline has been released.
They likely thought they had gotten off Scot free, and for three years, they had. But not anymore.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-16--Muslim Migrant ‘Ambassador of Saxony’ Beats Woman to Death

The facts at hand presumably speak for themselves , but a trifle more vulgarly , I suspect , than facts even usually do .
The German-language news outlet TAG24 reported Wednesday that a man identified only as “ Edris Z.
” had carried out “ a coldly planned revenge murder ” against his former girlfriend , a “ refugee aid worker had previously denounced the Afghan-born man under the Protection Against Violence Act.
” This is horrific enough , but it gets even worse : Edris Z. was in the past hailed as a model migrant , and even dubbed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states that Edris emigrated from Afghanistan to Germany in 1995 , that is , well before Angela Merkel initiated the mass Muslim migration that has inundated Germany in the last few years .
Back in 1995 , some people might even have still been so hidebound as to expect that an immigrant would strive to assimilate and adopt the customs and mores of the country that had welcomed him .
And indeed , it seemed for a time as if Edris Z. was a quintessential example of an assimilated migrant .
According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been in Germany for eleven years , former Saxon Prime Minister Georg Milbradt dubbed him an “ ambassador of Saxony , ” an honor that was given to Edris as a “ prime example of successful integration.
” The upstanding and exemplary young man was granted German citizenship in 2015 .
But “ on the morning of April 8 , Myriam Z .
( 37 years old ) put on her baby carrier , carefully put her two-and-a-half-month-old daughter Ava in it , and went for a walk in the southern Auwald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Edris Z. was also staying there .
Not by chance .
But with a hammer in his backpack and the plan to kill someone.
” Why ?
Because “ Edris and Myriam were once a couple .
Both worked as social workers in refugee aid .
The young Afghan never got over the fact that the self-confident woman separated from him at some point .
According to the investigation , Edris Z. has been stalking his ex-girlfriend since then .
And he became violent : When Edris Z. saw Myriam in the company @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he is said to have attacked him.
” The prosecution described “ a wild biting attack , and the accused is also alleged to have attempted to gouge out the eyes of the migrant rival ( 25 years old ) with his fingernails .
The victim suffered severe injuries to his eyes and bite wounds all over his body , and a piece of his ear was also missing afterwards.
” After that , Myriam reported Edris and received a restraining order against him by means of Germany ’ s Violence Protection Act @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apparently that was her death sentence .
In the murder charges , prosecutors assume that Z. killed his ex-girlfriend in order to punish her for having reported him .
The stalker , therefore , approached the young mother from behind and smashed her skull with the hammer.
” The ambassador of Saxony was exceptionally cruel : “ Even when Myriam fell to the ground , she lay down protectively over her baby and therefore had no free hand to protect her head , but the defendant is said to have continued to thrash @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ten blows , including four on the head , in relation to the forensic examination.
” One of the most commonly repeated elements of the Leftist/Islamic supremacist rap sheet against me , supposedly establishing that I am an “ anti-Muslim extremist , ” is that I said that there was no reliable way to distinguish between peaceful Muslims and jihadists , and no distinction between the two in Muslim communities .
This statement doesn ’ t mean that all Muslims are terrorists ; it means that peaceful Muslims aren ’ t separating themselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jihadis have operated freely in American mosques without being put out .
After a Muslim who supported the Islamic State shot a police officer in Philadelphia , the local mosque leaders initially denied knowing him , but then it turned out they were lying , and the jihadi attended the mosque frequently .
The same thing happened after jihadis attacked our free speech event in Garland , Texas : the mosque they attended in Phoenix denied knowing them , but it turned out they were regular members .
In a similar vein , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ ambassador of Saxony ” for his success in assimilating into German society .
But it seems as if he still carried within him some of the attitudes and assumptions created by a culture of violence that mandates the beating of women “ from whom you fear disobedience ” ( Qur ’ an 4:34 ) .
Yet no one could have predicted that this would happen , as there is , here again , no reliable way to distinguish between peaceful Muslims and violent ones .
Instead of heaping abuse upon those who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should be working hard to establish such a distinction .

The facts at hand presumably speak for themselves, but a trifle more vulgarly, I suspect, than facts even usually do. The German-language news outlet TAG24 reported Wednesday that a man identified only as “Edris Z.” had carried out “a coldly planned revenge murder” against his former girlfriend, a “refugee aid worker had previously denounced the Afghan-born man under the Protection Against Violence Act.” This is horrific enough, but it gets even worse: Edris Z. was in the past hailed as a model migrant, and even dubbed an “Ambassador of Saxony.”
TAG24 states that Edris emigrated from Afghanistan to Germany in 1995, that is, well before Angela Merkel initiated the mass Muslim migration that has inundated Germany in the last few years. Back in 1995, some people might even have still been so hidebound as to expect that an immigrant would strive to assimilate and adopt the customs and mores of the country that had welcomed him. And indeed, it seemed for a time as if Edris Z. was a quintessential example of an assimilated migrant. According to TAG24, in 2006, when Edris had been in Germany for eleven years, former Saxon Prime Minister Georg Milbradt dubbed him an “ambassador of Saxony,” an honor that was given to Edris as a “prime example of successful integration.” The upstanding and exemplary young man was granted German citizenship in 2015.
But “on the morning of April 8, Myriam Z. (37 years old) put on her baby carrier, carefully put her two-and-a-half-month-old daughter Ava in it, and went for a walk in the southern Auwald forest. According to the indictment, Edris Z. was also staying there. Not by chance. But with a hammer in his backpack and the plan to kill someone.” Why? Because “Edris and Myriam were once a couple. Both worked as social workers in refugee aid. The young Afghan never got over the fact that the self-confident woman separated from him at some point. According to the investigation, Edris Z. has been stalking his ex-girlfriend since then. And he became violent: When Edris Z. saw Myriam in the company of another man in August 2018, he is said to have attacked him.”
The prosecution described “a wild biting attack, and the accused is also alleged to have attempted to gouge out the eyes of the migrant rival (25 years old) with his fingernails. The victim suffered severe injuries to his eyes and bite wounds all over his body, and a piece of his ear was also missing afterwards.”
After that, Myriam reported Edris and received a restraining order against him by means of Germany’s Violence Protection Act. However, TAG24 states that “apparently that was her death sentence. In the murder charges, prosecutors assume that Z. killed his ex-girlfriend in order to punish her for having reported him. The stalker, therefore, approached the young mother from behind and smashed her skull with the hammer.”
The ambassador of Saxony was exceptionally cruel: “Even when Myriam fell to the ground, she lay down protectively over her baby and therefore had no free hand to protect her head, but the defendant is said to have continued to thrash her. The prosecution lists at least ten blows, including four on the head, in relation to the forensic examination.”
One of the most commonly repeated elements of the Leftist/Islamic supremacist rap sheet against me, supposedly establishing that I am an “anti-Muslim extremist,” is that I said that there was no reliable way to distinguish between peaceful Muslims and jihadists, and no distinction between the two in Muslim communities. This statement doesn’t mean that all Muslims are terrorists; it means that peaceful Muslims aren’t separating themselves from the terrorists. All too many jihadis have operated freely in American mosques without being put out. After a Muslim who supported the Islamic State shot a police officer in Philadelphia, the local mosque leaders initially denied knowing him, but then it turned out they were lying, and the jihadi attended the mosque frequently. The same thing happened after jihadis attacked our free speech event in Garland, Texas: the mosque they attended in Phoenix denied knowing them, but it turned out they were regular members.
In a similar vein, this Edris Z. was hailed as an “ambassador of Saxony” for his success in assimilating into German society. But it seems as if he still carried within him some of the attitudes and assumptions created by a culture of violence that mandates the beating of women “from whom you fear disobedience” (Qur’an 4:34).
Yet no one could have predicted that this would happen, as there is, here again, no reliable way to distinguish between peaceful Muslims and violent ones. Instead of heaping abuse upon those who point this out, genuinely peaceful Muslims should be working hard to establish such a distinction.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-16--2020 Economic Implosion:  Job Losses Ramp Up As Millions Of Americans Continue To Slide Into Poverty

The mainstream media keeps trying to convince us that things are about to get a whole lot better for the U.S. economy , but instead , they just keep getting worse .
On Thursday , we learned that another 898,000 Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week .
That was the highest number that we have seen since August , and it is yet more evidence that a new wave of layoffs has begun .
But according to the experts that the mainstream media relies upon , this wasn ’ t supposed to happen .
According to them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unemployment benefits was supposed to be steadily tapering off as the U.S. economy shifted into recovery mode .
Unfortunately for all of us , those experts have been dead wrong .
Yesterday , I wrote about the decline of the middle class in our country , and here in 2020 , this pandemic has greatly accelerated that process .
In fact , one new study has found that almost 8 million more Americans have plunged into poverty just since May… And another study discovered that 6 million more Americans fell into poverty in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should be breaking because of what is going on all over the country right now .
Millions upon millions of hard-working people have lost their jobs and can ’ t find new ones .
As a result , they have lost the comfortable middle-class lifestyles that they once enjoyed and have now joined the ranks of the poor .
But the official government numbers don ’ t look that bad because millions of those people are not even categorized as “ unemployed ” .
Instead , many of the workers that have lost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thrown into a category that is called “ not in the labor force ” .
In order to have faith in the official government numbers , you have got to believe that more than 100 million working age Americans are “ not in the labor force ” because they don ’ t want to work .
It is such a sham .
Why don ’ t we just put every single American that is not working into the “ not in the labor force ” category so that we can have 0.0 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that more Americans are being laid off with each passing day .
Over the past few weeks , some of the most iconic companies in the entire nation have been letting workers go… Some parts of the country have been hit much harder than others by this economic downturn .
For instance , tourism has dried up almost completely in Las Vegas , and this week there have been more layoff announcements… In the end , most of the jobs that have been lost in Las Vegas will never come back until @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simply not going to be happening for the foreseeable future .
Next door , the state of California has been absolutely devastated by this crisis as well .
If you can believe it , one out of every four Californians received unemployment benefits between March and July .
The state may have more billionaires than anywhere else in the country , but according to the U.S. Census Bureau it also has the highest poverty rate… That means that almost one out of every five people in the entire state of California is living @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is what a “ recovery ” looks like , I would hate to see what the “ bad times ” are going to look like .
And without a doubt , economic conditions are definitely going to get worse than they are now .
So many families in California are just barely scraping by from month to month , and more of them are falling into poverty every day .
In fact , even USA Today is admitting that “ California ’ s middle class isn ’ t done shrinking ” … It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those that live in California like to lecture the rest of us about “ wealthy inequality ” , but it is worse in their state than anywhere else .
Those at the very , very top of the pyramid are thriving ( for now ) , but meanwhile , countless others are falling out of the middle class .
It is like a really perverse game of musical chairs .
Every time the music stops , more people lose their seats and the middle class shrinks some more .
Sadly , I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even more in 2021 , and that is really bad news for millions upon millions of middle class American families that are deeply struggling right now .

The mainstream media keeps trying to convince us that things are about to get a whole lot better for the U.S. economy, but instead, they just keep getting worse. On Thursday, we learned that another 898,000 Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week. That was the highest number that we have seen since August, and it is yet more evidence that a new wave of layoffs has begun.

Yesterday, I wrote about the decline of the middle class in our country, and here in 2020, this pandemic has greatly accelerated that process.
In fact, one new study has found that almost 8 million more Americans have plunged into poverty just since May…
Nearly 8 million Americans have slid into poverty since May, according to a Columbia University study reported by the New York Times. Why it matters:The researchers found that the monthly poverty rate for September was higher than rates during April or May, and it also topped pre-crisis levels, “[d]ue to the expiration of the CARES Act’s stimulus checks and $600 per week supplement to unemployment benefits.”
And another study discovered that 6 million more Americans fell into poverty in just the last three months…
A separate study by researchers at Notre Dame and the University of Chicago, found that 6 million people have slipped into poverty in the last three months, per the Times.
Our hearts should be breaking because of what is going on all over the country right now.
Millions upon millions of hard-working people have lost their jobs and can’t find new ones. As a result, they have lost the comfortable middle-class lifestyles that they once enjoyed and have now joined the ranks of the poor.
But the official government numbers don’t look that bad because millions of those people are not even categorized as “unemployed”. Instead, many of the workers that have lost their jobs during this pandemic have been thrown into a category that is called “not in the labor force”.
In order to have faith in the official government numbers, you have got to believe that more than 100 million working age Americans are “not in the labor force” because they don’t want to work.
It is such a sham. Why don’t we just put every single American that is not working into the “not in the labor force” category so that we can have 0.0 percent unemployment?
Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
Of course, the truth is that more Americans are being laid off with each passing day. Over the past few weeks, some of the most iconic companies in the entire nation have been letting workers go…
Further, companies have begun initiating layoffs on a trajectory similar to traditional recessions, economists said, as slowdowns in consumer demand (rather than state-mandated shutdowns) lead them to cut jobs or close for good. Companies such as Allstate, American Airlines, Disney, Royal Dutch Shell and United Airlines have each announced plans to cut thousands of workers in recent weeks.
Some parts of the country have been hit much harder than others by this economic downturn.
For instance, tourism has dried up almost completely in Las Vegas, and this week there have been more layoff announcements…
The Tropicana Las Vegas has given notice to 828 employees that they are being laid off beginning Thursday, Oct. 15. And layoffs at two Paris Las Vegas restaurants are coming soon as notices have been filed with the state. Mon Ami Gabi intends to lay off 96 employees, and the Eiffel Tower Restaurant will lay off 53 employees. Both moves are scheduled to happen on Dec. 16, and the layoffs will be permanent.
In the end, most of the jobs that have been lost in Las Vegas will never come back until the tourists return, and that is simply not going to be happening for the foreseeable future.
Next door, the state of California has been absolutely devastated by this crisis as well.
If you can believe it, one out of every four Californians received unemployment benefits between March and July. The state may have more billionaires than anywhere else in the country, but according to the U.S. Census Bureau it also has the highest poverty rate…
Home to 166 billionaires, who made over $235 billion since the beginning of the pandemic, the Golden State also has the highest poverty rate: 17.2% when adjusted for the cost of living, according to a recent Census Bureau analysis.
That means that almost one out of every five people in the entire state of California is living in poverty right now.
If this is what a “recovery” looks like, I would hate to see what the “bad times” are going to look like.
And without a doubt, economic conditions are definitely going to get worse than they are now.
So many families in California are just barely scraping by from month to month, and more of them are falling into poverty every day. In fact, even USA Today is admitting that “California’s middle class isn’t done shrinking”…
To many, the streets of the Bay Area are renowned for the enduring homelessness crisis as much as for the renowned tech giants of Silicon Valley. In-between, California’s middle class isn’t done shrinking; teachers, artists, waiters and gig workers are awaiting their fate, often one government program away from having to take a minimum-wage job — or lose their homes.
It is kind of ironic. Many of those that live in California like to lecture the rest of us about “wealthy inequality”, but it is worse in their state than anywhere else.
Those at the very, very top of the pyramid are thriving (for now), but meanwhile, countless others are falling out of the middle class.
It is like a really perverse game of musical chairs. Every time the music stops, more people lose their seats and the middle class shrinks some more.
Sadly, I think that this process is going to accelerate even more in 2021, and that is really bad news for millions upon millions of middle class American families that are deeply struggling right now.
