Top 3 Reasons to Doubt the Ahmaud "Just a Jogger" Arbery Narrative.

Via Wirecutter

 

Do you know who these two race-hustlers are? If you pay attention, you know that Black Lives Matter co-founder Shaun King (a.k.a. Talcum X, Martin Luther Cream, or W.E.B. De Fraud) and lawyer Lee Merritt are Morehouse College buddies who have been partners in anti-white, anti-cop agitation for upwards of two decades.
 
On Tuesday, King posted a leaked video that immediately went viral of “Just a Jogger” Ahmaud Arbery, whose family Merritt represents. Dissatisfied with the results of a Waycross, Georgia, D.A.’s decision in February not to arrest two armed white men involved in chasing and fatally shooting Arbery, whom they suspected of burglary, someone in possession of the clip somehow got it into social media master King’s hands. King’s post of the purloined video has racked up more than 7 million views, whipping up instant, knee-jerk outrage from LeBron James to Whoopi Goldberg to Joe Biden to some of the same ConInc virtue-signaling simps who threw the Covington boys under the bus.

Barbarous Pillaging

 Allen C. Guelzo on Reconstruction | Friends of the Lincoln Collection

In early February, 1865, Captain J.J. Dickison’s 145 Florida cavalrymen struck 400 black and white federal raiders at Station Number Four – forcing them to retreat toward Cedar Keys after a sharp three-hour engagement.  The next month a thousand-man Northern invasion force arrived at St. Marks, forcing Floridians to hastily organize a defense force of student cadets from the State Seminary, old men and a few companies of regular troops.  The ensuing battle at Natural Bridge, a Southern victory, was practically the closing conflict of the war in Florida. Capt. Dickison was known as Florida’s “Swamp Fox,” earning his name for swift and unexpected strikes against the enemy, as did Francis Marion of earlier fame.

Pelosi, Dems craft $750 billion aid bill for state and local govs; to bail out states run by Democrats which have the worst economies

rich states poor states democrat run cities

Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi is drafting a $750 billion coronavirus relief bill to aid struggling state and local governments without consulting Republicans, according to reports.

The aid package that Pelosi is unilaterally concocting would use funds collected from ALL taxpaying Americans — not just Democrats.

The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives has reportedly not discussed the legislation with Republicans in either the House or the GOP-controlled Senate. This makes no sense, because Pelosi needs Republican approval to ultimately pass the bill.

South Korea Rise in Coronavirus Cases Linked to Gay Nightclubs

South Korea experienced a considerable uptick in cases of the Chinese coronavirus this weekend linked to the re-opening of the nightclub district in the capital of Seoul, the majority of which are believed to have come from establishments catering to the LGBT community.

The country has won widespread praise for its effective efforts in containing the outbreak, mainly through the use of a system known as “track and trace.” Officials from the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) reported 97 new cases as of Monday morning, the majority of which were linked to nightclubs in the gay district of Itaewon.

Russia removes memorial to Katyn Massacre in new attack on historical truth

Via Kirk 

  
A Levada Centre poll in March 2019 showed a record level of approval for Stalin.  71% of Russians said that they have a positive attitude to his role in their country’s history, with just over half the population saying that they view a dictator responsible for the death of millions “with respect”. 

On the eve of the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, Russian officials, acting on an order from the prosecutor's office,  have removed plaques commemorating victims of the Terror and Polish officers executed by the NKVD in 1940, while the Soviet Union was still collaborating with Nazi Germany.  This may have been a regional initiative, but it is very much in line with Russia’s aggressive attempts under President Vladimir Putin to blur or rewrite the darkest pages of Soviet history.
Two memorial plaques, erected in 1991, were removed from the former NKVD building in Tver on 7 May.  One read: “In memory of the tortured. In the 1930s-1950s this was the Central NKVD – MGB for the Kalinin oblast and its internal prison”, the second: “In remembrance of the Poles from the Ostashkov Camp, murdered by the NKVD in Kalinin.  As a warning to the world”

It Is Much Worse Than You Are Being Told & America Has Become A Powder Keg That Is Ready To Explode

 

For a long time I warned that our economic bubble would burst and that we would plunge into a nightmarish economic collapse.  Now it has happened, and it turns out that fear of COVID-19 was the “black swan event” that triggered the collapse.  The ironic thing is that COVID-19 is not even close to the worst thing that is going to happen to us.  But it was more than enough to topple our incredibly fragile economic system, and now tens of millions of Americans are deeply suffering.  On Friday, the April jobs report was released, and it was the worst jobs report in U.S. history by a very, very wide margin.  According to the official numbers, 20.5 million Americans lost their jobs during the month, and the unemployment rate shot up to 14.7 percent.  During the last recession, the unemployment rate peaked at about 10 percent, and we have already left that number in the dust.  The figures that we are seeing now are truly, truly horrifying, and what is even more frightening is that they aren’t even that accurate.

White House Trade Adviser: ‘The Chinese Communist Party’ Crashed America’s Economy In 60 Days

 WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 27: White House Trade and Manufacturing Policy Director Peter Navarro speaks during a briefing on the coronavirus pandemic in the press briefing room of the White House on March 27, 2020 in Washington, DC. President Trump signed the H.R. 748, the CARES Act on Friday afternoon. Earlier in the day, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the $2 trillion stimulus bill that lawmakers hope will battle the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

President Trump built the most powerful and beautiful economy in the world in three years.”

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) essentially ruined America’s economy in just two months with their handling of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan.

“We know that patient zero in China was about mid-November. It was in Wuhan. We know that ground zero had the P-4 weapons lab, where the virus likely came from. For the next two months, we know that China hid the virus from the world behind the shield of the World Health Organization,” Navarro said. “And, as they did that, they sent gleaming passenger jets from China, not into the rest of China from Wuhan, but to places like New York and Milan, seeding the world with what would become a pandemic.”
