The GOP appears to be one of the first to face the clampdown on ‘harmful’ and ‘hateful’ content, after Facebook put a warning label on a video posted by the RNC about ‘left-wing anarchists’ Friday.
Facebook has buckled into the pressure exerted on him by the radical Left, losing billions of dollars in stock value after being boycotted by the ‘big boys’. He has agreed to their demands to begin blocking and removing anything that go against the Marxist agenda currently being forced on us through paramilitary groups like ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter. Case in point is the very first thing they have deemed as hate speech, a GOP campaign ad for Trump exposing the brutality of the Black Lives Matter riots. The riots themselves are not blocked or censored in any way, and ANTIFA and BLM soldiers are allowed to recruit through Facebook.
“But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.” Mark 13:9-11 (KJB)
Why is this happening? Because the Democrats have an election to steal in just a few months, and they cannot win if Christians and Conservatives keep telling the truth and exposing the coup that is currently underway. Call it the site that everyone loves to hate, but Facebook is the global meeting house, and the Liberal agenda cannot be put in power if free speech, free thought and free expression are allowed. Sites like Now The End Begins will have to be removed because we have the most despised hate speech of all, and you will find it within the pages of your King James 1611 Authorized Version Holy Bible.
This is the manifesto of the Liberal Democrats, this is from a novel, yet it is happening in America at this very moment. ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter are their goon squads that roam our cities, burning, looting, robbing, raping and killing just like the Nazi Brown Shirts before them. They are staging a coup against America, and they will succeed if you let them. I have done my part by putting myself on the front lines with this article, and boldy defying them by exposing their agenda.
What will you do to prevent the overthrow of the United States of America? Think fast, if you wait too long it will all be over, and you will be enslaved.
“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently.

They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”― George Orwell, 1984

Mark Zuckerberg finally promises action on ‘hate speech’ as Facebook shares drop $56 BILLION after Unilever and Coca-Cola pulled their advertisements
FROM DAILY MAIL UK: Facebook shares have dropped a staggering $56 billion after major companies including Unilever and Coca-Cola pulled their advertisements from the social media giant, despite CEO Mark Zuckerberg promising action on hate speech and putting a warning label on a Republican National Committee (RNC) video.
Shares in the platform went crashing 8.3 percent to $216.08 by the closing bell Friday – its lowest in three months – after more than 100 advertisers boycotted the firm for its failure to stop hate speech and misinformation being posted on its platform. This wiped $56 billion off Facebook’s market value and dealt a hefty $7.2 billion blow to Zuckerberg’s personal fortune, pushing him down from third to fourth place on Bloomberg Billionaires Index and leaving him with a new net worth of $82.3 billion.

This came after Coca-Cola and Unilever became the latest major corporations to pull the plug on Facebook advertising Friday, joining several firms including Dove, Honda and Ben & Jerry’s in a show of support for the #StopHateForProfit campaign. Coca-Cola announced a pause on all paid social media advertising globally for at least 30 days saying ‘there is no place for racism in the world and there is no place for racism on social media’ while Unilever, one of the world’s biggest advertisers, said it would stop spending money with Facebook for the rest of the year.
Zuckerberg buckled under the pressure Friday and announced new content policies for the platform, including tighter restrictions on advertising and labels for ‘harmful’ posts from public figures.
The GOP appears to be one of the first to face the clampdown on ‘harmful’ and ‘hateful’ content, after Facebook put a warning label on a video posted by the RNC about ‘left-wing anarchists’ Friday. The platform put a ‘violent or graphic content’ warning on the video named ‘It’s about destroying America’ which features footage of cop cars on fire alongside snippets of speeches made by Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors as well as Democrats Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
‘THIS VIDEO MAY SHOW VIOLENT OR GRAPHIC CONTENT,’ THE FACEBOOK WARNING READS. ‘WE COVERED THIS VIDEO SO YOU CAN DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT.’
The video opens with footage of Cullors saying ‘we are trained Marxists’ before it goes on to show snippets of violent scenes across America amid the ongoing civil unrest in the wake of the Memorial Day ‘murder’ of black man George Floyd by a white cop in Minneapolis.
‘The ‘trained Marxists’ are on a violent rampage,’ flashes up on the screen as the video shows select scenes of a cop being hit by a car, an LA police cruiser on fire, a toppled statue of Ulysses Grant and St. John’s Church on fire during protests calling for an end to police brutality and racism.

About the “Crazy Years”
The great science fiction writer Robert Heinlein predicted the Crazy Years. He set the start date 50 years too early.
“The Crazy Years: Considerable technical advance during this period, accompanied by a gradual deterioration of mores, orientation, and social institutions, terminating in mass psychoses in the sixth decade, and the interregnum. …{then there are more phases} followed by the end of human adolescence and the beginning of {the} first mature culture.”
— From Robert Heinlein’s timeline of his future history stories; first published in Astounding Science Fiction, May 1940. This series was published as The Past through Tomorrow.
Crazy years are commonplace in human history. The 14th century were crazy years in Europe, brought about by massive social and political changes, plus natural catastrophes (e.g., plague and the onset of the Little Ice Age). For a vivid account of this time see Barbara Tuchman’s A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century (1978). The French called the 1920s the années folles (crazy years), the aftershock of WWI and massive social and political change. But humanity has experienced such great changes at such a fantastic rate. Of course we have become disoriented.

investmentwatchblog--2020-06-28--Peak Fuel Demand Will Occur Within 10 Years

It has been a tough few months for the oil industry , and there ’ s more pain on the way as the industry struggles with disruptive forces that could completely transform it .
Now , according to BloombergNEF , oil and gas companies have one more thing to worry about : peak fuel demand .
In an outlook for road fuels published earlier this month , BloombergNEF forecasts that gasoline demand will peak in 2030 , with diesel following three years later .
As a result , demand for crude oil from the road transport sector is seen peaking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 47 million barrels daily .
That ’ s higher than BloombergNEF ’ s 2019 projection , which saw oil demand from light and heavy-duty vehicles peaking at 45.1 million bpd .
To fully realize the implications of this trend , here is some context .
As of 2019 , road transport accounted for more than 40 percent of overall global oil demand .
What ’ s more , road transport has accounted for more than half of total oil demand growth over the past two decades .
Peak demand for road transport fuels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peak oil demand .
The immediate outlook for fuel demand is also not rosy , with the lockdowns and international movement restrictions erasing ten years ’ worth of demand growth , according to BloombergNEF .
This effect will likely be temporary ; as lockdowns ease , demand for fuels begins to recover , even though it remains doubtful whether it will recover fully to pre-pandemic levels .
So , what are the culprits behind this looming slump in fuel demand ?
First , there is fuel efficiency : a factor that , according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that energy consumption in the transport sector will only rise by 20 percent by 2040 .
BP made that forecast last year , long before the coronavirus .
Now , those changes could accelerate .
Besides fuel efficiency , there are also the alternatives to internal combustion engines , as well as ride-sharing services , BloombergNEF said , identifying both as disruptive forces for the long-term future of the oil industry .
Electric vans and hydrogen heavy trucks are at the core of the disruption as regards alternatives to ICE vehicles .
Just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ future of oil demand becomes evident in this 2017 report by the International Energy Agency , which notes that heavy trucks , at the time , accounted for as much as a fifth of global oil demand , or some 17 million barrels of crude oil daily .
Heavy trucks also accounted for half of the world ’ s diesel demand at the time .
And now there are electric trucks and hydrogen trucks .
The clearest evidence yet of these new trucks ’ transformative influence on the transport industry was the stock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell trucks , aiming to change the face of freight transport .

This plan—and other plans , mostly by European governments—will likely speed up the rate of decline in fuel demand , and we may see peak diesel before the end of the decade if all those alternatives live up to the promise .

All we have to do is wait and see how those ifs work out .

It has been a tough few months for the oil industry, and there’s more pain on the way as the industry struggles with disruptive forces that could completely transform it. Now, according to BloombergNEF, oil and gas companies have one more thing to worry about: peak fuel demand. In an outlook for road fuels published earlier this month, BloombergNEF forecasts that gasoline demand will peak in 2030, with diesel following three years later. As a result, demand for crude oil from the road transport sector is seen peaking in 2031, BloombergNEF said, at 47 million barrels daily. That’s higher than BloombergNEF’s 2019 projection, which saw oil demand from light and heavy-duty vehicles peaking at 45.1 million bpd.
To fully realize the implications of this trend, here is some context. As of 2019, road transport accounted for more than 40 percent of overall global oil demand. What’s more, road transport has accounted for more than half of total oil demand growth over the past two decades. Peak demand for road transport fuels, therefore, is a harbinger of peak oil demand.
The immediate outlook for fuel demand is also not rosy, with the lockdowns and international movement restrictions erasing ten years’ worth of demand growth, according to BloombergNEF. This effect will likely be temporary; as lockdowns ease, demand for fuels begins to recover, even though it remains doubtful whether it will recover fully to pre-pandemic levels.
So, what are the culprits behind this looming slump in fuel demand? First, there is fuel efficiency: a factor that, according to BP, will improve so much that energy consumption in the transport sector will only rise by 20 percent by 2040. BP made that forecast last year, long before the coronavirus. Now, those changes could accelerate.
Besides fuel efficiency, there are also the alternatives to internal combustion engines, as well as ride-sharing services, BloombergNEF said, identifying both as disruptive forces for the long-term future of the oil industry. Electric vans and hydrogen heavy trucks are at the core of the disruption as regards alternatives to ICE vehicles.
Just how important these alternatives are for the future of oil demand becomes evident in this 2017 report by the International Energy Agency, which notes that heavy trucks, at the time, accounted for as much as a fifth of global oil demand, or some 17 million barrels of crude oil daily. Heavy trucks also accounted for half of the world’s diesel demand at the time.

And now there are electric trucks and hydrogen trucks. The clearest evidence yet of these new trucks’ transformative influence on the transport industry was the stock market debut of Nikola—the company that makes both battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell trucks, aiming to change the face of freight transport. With it, it could change the face of the oil industry.
But it’s too early to lament the oil industry with its two-pronged upstream/downstream revenue stream organization. The oil industry is not oblivious to fuel demand forecasts and is already preparing for a future in which the transport sector will not be the king of fuel demand.
Last year, Wood Mackenzie projected that demand for oil from the transportation industry will peak before 2030. At the time, Wood Mac analysts cited the growth in popularity for electric cars, higher fuel efficiency standards, and consumer preferences. Refiners were beginning to shift towards higher production of petrochemicals at the expense of fuels.
Now, the industry has been hit hard by the coronavirus lockdowns—an unforeseen event that that all but shattered oil demand. But another blow is brewing, too. After the pandemic revealed how we could reduce CO2 emissions by staying at home, a number of international agencies are calling for a so-called green recovery, including the International Energy Agency.
The IEA wrote in a report last week that “The world has a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to pour investment into clean energy and create millions of new jobs.” The IEA has drafted a plan on how to take advantage of this opportunity and, unsurprisingly, transport reforms are a big part of this plan. These, the IEA proposes, should include financial incentives for drivers to switch from ICE cars to EVs or at least upgrade to more efficient ICE cars. The plan also includes investments in high-speed railways and improved public transport.
This plan—and other plans, mostly by European governments—will likely speed up the rate of decline in fuel demand, and we may see peak diesel before the end of the decade if all those alternatives live up to the promise. If the green recovery incentive schemes work, too, EVs will overtake ICE cars earlier than forecast before the crisis. All we have to do is wait and see how those ifs work out.

U.S. shale was one of the big losers of the Saudi-Russian price war that many saw as a war on U.S. shale. Producers scrambled to stay afloat as prices sank back to lows not seen since 2016, and they are still scrambling. Banks are giving them the cold shoulder, worried that many will not be able to pay their debts. Is there a way out? According to various forecasting agencies, there is, but it will take a while. A Bloomberg analysis of forecasts for the shale industry made by outlets such as the International Energy Agency, energy consultancy Rystad, IHS Markit, Genscape, and Enervus suggests shale will be back on its feet by 2023, with production back to over 12 million bpd.
This is not a long time for a full recovery, really, especially given the current circumstances, including shut-in wells, abandoned drilling plans, tight cash, and, for many, looming bankruptcies.
As much as 30 percent of shale drillers could go under if oil prices fail to move substantially higher, Deloitte said in a recent study, as quoted by CNN. These 30 percent, the firm said, are technically insolvent at oil prices of $35 a barrel. Right now, West Texas Intermediate is higher than $35 but not by much. Oil is now trading closer to $35 than to $50—the level at which most shale drillers will be making money.
And they need to make money: banks have started cutting credit lines for industry players as they reassess their assets and the production that they promised would be realized from these assets. According to calculations by Moody’s and JP Morgan, cited by the Wall Street Journal, banks could reduce asset-backed loan availability for the industry by as much as 30 percent, which translates into tens of billions of dollars.
One can see the lenders’ perspective. They are in the business of lending in order to make money, and for that to happen, their borrowers must make money, too. But, it appears, most shale drillers have been consistently failing to turn a profit over the last 15 years, burning through $300 billion in cash and writing down $450 billion on invested capital, according to the Deloitte study.

This means that if someone gets shot inside the area then they are entirely on their own.
According to Solan, “violence has now besieged” what used to be known as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) of Seattle, a six-block area of total lawlessness where cops are now prohibited from making an appearance – unless, of course, they want to be violently assaulted.
Early on in its existence, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan described the CHOP as a “street fair,” likening its vibe to “the summer of love.” But according to Solan, anyone who dares to enter the CHOP will actually be entering “the summer of chaos,” as all law enforcement activity has ceased within the containment area.
Demonstrating that America really has become a failed state, the continued existence of the CHOP is a type of writing on the wall for many other large American cities. Many had hoped that the CHOP would be broken up by now, and the fact that it has not suggests that the rule of law everywhere could be on the brink of no return.
“Early this morning, that violence was raw and real,” Solan explained about what he had witnessed a day prior, noting that he is extremely frustrated with local officials’ reluctance “to enforce the rule of law” within the CHOP.
“One of our community members lost their (sic) life, and police are still not allowed into that area, and we are prevented [from] providing that police service to the area to locate victims and / or render aid,” he added.
Listen below to The Health Ranger Report as Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, talks about how Black Lives Matter has now achieved legal immunity to continue burning, looting and murdering without consequence:

If things continue as they have been, then more areas of Seattle could become “autonomous,” as could areas in other cities across America. This is why Solan and others have been pushing those at the helm to take action, though they have yet to see any formidable response.
Solan laments the fact that Seattle officials have failed “the reasonable community of Seattle to enforce the rule of law.” As lawlessness continues to spread, more and more areas may become “no-go” zones where rapes, murders, and illicit gun-dealing become the new law of the land.

Healthcare workers encouraged to gather for black lives matter just weeks after Americans were jailed, fined, shamed for protesting tyrannical government lockdowns

The governor of Michigan threatened protestors with longer lock downs and stay-at-home orders if they gathered at the capitol.
Now large public gatherings that call themselves “protests” are openly being encouraged across America. In fact, a protest movement called White Coats for Black Lives is being openly encouraged, with no resistance, no shaming that they are putting the public’s health at risk. This group consists of healthcare workers — people who have actually come in contact with sick patients. This group of superheroes is being praised for gathering, as freedom-loving Americans are attacked and banned from gathering at all.
Government lock downs and discriminatory restrictions slowly being exposed as fraudulent
When small business owners and those oppressed by lock down orders rallied at state capitols to get their freedom back, they were doing so to be treated equally, to reestablish opportunity for all. They rallied because they wanted to be free to take their own risks, not be held down and told to live in a perpetual state of fear and control. They ultimately needed to be in business to feed their families. As freedom-loving Americans moved forward with their lives, they were met with hostility and threats from governments. In some states, government brigades forced protestors off public property. The media shamed the protestors for putting everyone’s lives at risk.
Now, healthcare workers are being encouraged to assemble as they kneel together to demand racial equality. Government brigades are not breaking up their gatherings. In just one month, state governments targeted and bullied freedom-loving Americans, but backed down and openly allowed riots, looting and violence from racially-motivated groups of thugs.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the White Coats for Black Lives gathered en masse at the Emory University Hospital, kneeling for eight minutes and 46 seconds, to show their support for a man who was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer. Since George Floyd’s death, there have been countless acts of violence, buildings burned, cops shot, innocents beaten, yet we are being told that the abuse is coming systemically from whites, and blacks are victims to a culture of white privilege.
In Kansas City, at least 150 healthcare workers and students gathered together. They gathered to call for an end to systemic and institutionalized racism. The Kansas City Star reported that protesters “urged the white members of the crowd to reflect internally and ensure they were not harming people of color.”
Similar healthcare gatherings occurred in cities throughout the country. Never mind the fact that small businesses and churches owned by people of various races, backgrounds and ethnicity are currently being systemically suppressed by governments across the country. In some cities, as white people are shamed for systematically suppressing black people, these shuttered businesses are being looted and burned to the ground by Black Lives Matter and Antifa thugs.
As people gather and as some riot for Black Lives Matter, it has become even more apparent than ever: The lockdowns were weaponized against free, productive people — conditioning everyone to believe that freedom is selfish. It’s also becoming abundantly clear: ongoing social distancing propaganda and discriminatory edicts against businesses and churches are complete and total fraud, a divisive plot to segregate, discriminate and shame some, while propping up others as a superior class of people known as “superheroes.”

Coronavirus becoming far less deadly as it “adapts” to human hosts… no vaccine necessary, says doctor

( Natural News ) A professor and infectious disease expert from Italy says that the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) is already fizzling out , and that a vaccine for it will probably already be obsolete by the time it arrives .
Matteo Bassetti , head of the infectious disease unit at the Policlinico San Martino Hospital in Italy told the British media that the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) virus , as it is also called , is rapidly losing virulence and could disappear completely without any further intervention .

“ The clinical impression I have is that the virus is changing in severity , ” he told The Telegraph ( UK ) .

“ Now , in the past four weeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terms of patterns .

Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that the mortality rate for the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) was already low even before this , and restricted mostly to the elderly and the immunocompromised .
Now that rate is even lower , based on the assessment of Bassetti and others , which means people have little to worry about , generally speaking .
“ The virus was never that virulent for healthy individuals , ” wrote one commenter at The Epoch Times , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the whole thing has been painfully overblown .
“ Those with weak immune systems are still in isolation while the healthy are mostly getting mild infections.

Just like with the first iteration of SARS – the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is basically SARS 2.0 – it largely disappeared once the sun came out, suggesting that increased exposure to vitamin D helped people to overcome it.
Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that the mortality rate for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) was already low even before this, and restricted mostly to the elderly and the immunocompromised. Now that rate is even lower, based on the assessment of Bassetti and others, which means people have little to worry about, generally speaking.
“The virus was never that virulent for healthy individuals,” wrote one commenter at The Epoch Times, affirming the view of other commenters that the whole thing has been painfully overblown.
“Those with weak immune systems are still in isolation while the healthy are mostly getting mild infections.”
Another supported this by adding that, “for those with strong immune systems, it was never an acute problem.”

Nunes currently suffered a loss in a defamation lawsuit he filed against Twitter, parody accounts known as “Devin Nunes’ Mom” and “Devin Nunes’ Cow,” and a Republican strategist when a judge ruled that Twitter cannot be held liable for defamatory tweets because federal law classifies them as merely a platform, not a publisher.

investmentwatchblog--2020-06-29--The False Dilemma: Do you fall for this COMMON psychological TRAP?

The social engineers and the heads of the media companies have been dividing us with this tactic since forever… by presenting only two options , they can force people , often unnecessarily , onto one side or the other of whichever line they draw for us with the framing of their narratives .
They know we are prone to having a preference for dichotomies because they understand that , although we prefer having a choice and a say in our thoughts and affairs… they also know that most are so lazy that they would rather only have to decide between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ multiple data points and run through the mental gymnastics of more complicated decision-making .
The fake-moral dilemma they put us in when framing questions like , “ Do you support X , or are you a bad person ?
” are meant to disable your reasoning faculties and trigger your tribal instincts to get you on one side or the other of THEIR line : Both dominant ideologies ( conservative/liberal ) engage in this… and the media loves it because it creates conflict and drama for the news cycle .
In reality , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ often have some amount of validity and many other options that are equally or more or less valid may exist but end up being ignored due to the tribalism they are triggering .
It makes us easier to control if they can cordon off entire topics of discussion and put us into the camps that THEY decided we can exist within .
Please be careful out there , don ’ t let them manipulate you and make you dumber and less capable by limiting your thoughts .

Here is a good explanation , surely better than my own from this one website : False Dilemma ( also known as : all-or-nothing fallacy , false dichotomy* , the either-or fallacy , either-or reasoning , fallacy of false choice , fallacy of false alternatives , black-and-white thinking , the fallacy of exhaustive hypotheses , bifurcation , excluded middle , no middle ground , polarization ) Description : When only two choices are presented yet more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ choices exists between two extremes .
False dilemmas are usually characterized by “ either this or that ” language , but can also be characterized by omissions of choices .
Another variety is the false trilemma , which is when three choices are presented when more exist .

Either X , Y , or Z is true .
