• New U.S. restrictions on 33 Chinese firms and institutions take effect June 5
  

  The agency has added the companies and institutions to an economic blacklist, accusing them of helping China spy on its minority Muslim Uighur population in Xinjiang or because of alleged ties to weapons of mass destruction and China’s military.

  Trump wants us separated from the Chinese economy entirely. Then he can begin the project which will define his presidency: bringing industry — both products and services — back to American shores.

• US to ban passenger flights from China
  

  The US is to ban passenger flights from China from 16 June, in the latest sign of tensions between the two economic giants.

  The Department of Transportation said it is punishing Beijing for refusing to let US airlines resume flights to China as its pandemic subsides.

  Cutting off international air travel generally would be a good thing. Our tourists behave like boors over there, and tourists from over there come here to drop babies and claim birthright citizenship.

• Iran, Russia, China, Turkey celebrate ‘collapse’ of US
  

  The US became the world’s most powerful country, a global hegemonic superpower, after the Soviet Union and its client states fell apart in 1989. However, Russia, China, Iran and increasingly Turkey have all awaited the period when the world would become multi-polar again. They have sought to work more closely together, and they have sat frequently at global forums that the US does not attend.

  The goal of Turkey, Iran, China and Russia during the current US crises is to use it to their advantage to press gains. Turkey has been flooding Libya with weapons and Syrian mercenaries during the crisis. China has pushed up against India in a border dispute. Iran is flexing its muscles at home and sending tankers to Venezuela. Russia has sent warplanes to Libya and Syria.

  The crazies want to seize power, as usual. Most of humanity is a screw-up, and when they sense weakness, they attempt to take over, and then run everything into the ground just as with the French, Russian, and Obama revolutions.

• Teens arrested for ‘hate crime’ photo of George Floyd death
  

  A picture purportedly taken in Gateshead was circulated online showing two men apparently recreating Mr Floyd’s death.

  Northumbria Police said it is treating the incident as a “hate crime”.

  The point of “hate crimes” was to dissuade attacks against minorities. They have become general-purpose speech restrictions. All civil rights laws go this way; we did better under natural rights.

• 13-year-old pleads guilty in connection to Tessa Majors’ murder
  

  The unnamed teen pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery as a juvenile. He will be sentenced by a judge in June.

  The juvenile is one of three teenagers accused in the fatal stabbing of Majors during a mugging gone wrong last December in Morningside Park, steps from Barnard College.

  Majors, 18, was stabbed several times before she staggered up a flight of stairs and uttered, “Help me, I’m being robbed,” authorities said.

  Not quite as catchy as “I can’t breathe.”

• Facebook shuts down far-right group planning to bring weapons to protests
  

  The group says it is about American constitutional nationalism, but the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) says American Guard “has a background with connections to anti-immigrant extremism, hatred, and violence. Indeed, before the American Guard was the American Guard, it was actually the Indiana chapter of a group called the Soldiers of Odin USA, a branch of an extreme anti-immigrant and anti-refugee group that originated in Finland in 2015 and has spread to many other countries.”

  The Left uses headlines, knowing that it can make broad statements and then ignore the nuances when the details come out. Two guys in a group that no one has heard of said that it would be funny or cool if someone brought weapons. The media spun this into support for their narrative that Right-wing activists, not rioting ghetto Africans and hipster gunk-white SJWs with Antifa badges, were responsible for the violence, looting, arson, assault, and shootings that have accompanied all of these “peaceful” protests to date. The peaceful protesters are just the shield for the real action.

• U.S. streets calmest in days as protests largely peaceful
  

  There were scattered reports of looting in New York City overnight, and as of Wednesday morning there had been over 9,000 arrests nationwide since the unrest began following Floyd’s death May 25 in Minneapolis. But there was a marked quiet compared with the unrest of the past few nights, which included fires and shootings in some cities.

  Trump, meanwhile, amplified his hard-line calls from Monday, when he threatened to send in the military to restore order if governors didn’t do it.

  Trump threatens to call in the military and the badly-behaved children chill out, since their will finally be real consequences.

• Virginia governor to announce removal of Richmond statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee

  The Left always capitalizes on tragedy, doing things that cannot be undone in order to advance its destructive and suicidal agenda. Boats to Venezuela.

• Video appears to show Louisville BBQ man fired gun before he was fatally shot, police say
  

  In one video, the 53-year-old McAtee, in a red shirt, is seen at the door of the business with his right arm extended. People appear to move quickly farther back in the storefront and a woman shuts the door. McAtee is then seen returning inside, clutching his chest and falling to the ground, according to the video.

  Peaceful protester pops off a round, gets one in return.

• Former police officer accused of killing George Floyd gets new lawyer
  

  Chauvin, who is white, was arrested Friday and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.

  Floyd, 46, died on May 25 after Chauvin pinned his neck under a knee for nearly nine minutes during his arrest. A video of the incident sparked a week of sometimes violent protests that have rocked dozens of U.S. cities in the worst civil unrest in decades.

  Big point is: a normal person would not have died for this hold and there was no way that Chauvin could know that Floyd had an underlying heart condition which would kill him. His lawyer will probably argue that any part of the stressful process of detainment and arrest could have triggered the heart attack, not the hold, and that it may have been brought on when Floyd gobbled his stash. White people need to stop policing minority crime that does not affect white people. Right now, the Leftists are lining up to crucify the symbol of their discontent, Chauvin, instead of focusing on the causes of the discontent, namely the ongoing failure of diversity.

  In the meantime, as the wise and venerable Osiris Akkebala opines:

  [I]f there is to be a resolution to the Race problem in the world, and it is the Black Afrikan Race and the White European Race that can cause the resolution of Racism and Unjust Prejudice coming from white people against Black Afrikan people, that Racial problem solver is the Reparation/Repatriation that is power to our Enslaved Ancestors, causing a massive exodus back to the Mother Land, Afrika.

  Diversity kills everyone equally. Nationalism — one ethnic group per nation — preserves them.

• The FBI Finds ‘No Intel Indicating Antifa Involvement’ in Sunday’s Violence
  

  The FBI’s Washington Field Office “has no intelligence indicating Antifa involvement/presence” in the violence that occurred on May 31 during the D.C.-area protests over the murder of George Floyd, according to an internal FBI situation report obtained exclusively by The Nation.

  So:

  1. Only in the DC protest
  2. The regular protesters did the violence

  Another cherry-picked narrative.

• Police union boss says city leaders are telling cops to “stand down,” asks Trump for help
  

  Mullins said that “NYPD is losing the city of New York and we have no leadership in the city of New York right now.”

  Looters are setting fire to vehicles and throwing bricks and rocks at police officers while the public “is in fear for their own lives,” he added.

  “I’m receiving videos, photographs, license plates of looters from citizens of the city of New York while cops are being pelted,” he said.

  Peaceful protests, eh?

• Esper revises account of what he knew about Trump’s church photo-op
  

  “I did know that following the president’s remarks on Monday evening that many of us were going to join President Trump and review the damage in Lafayette Park and at St John’s Episcopal Church,” Esper said in a Wednesday press briefing. “What I was not aware of was exactly where we were going when I arrived at the church and what the plans were once we got there.”

  The account amounted to a revision of what he told NBC News Tuesday night. It also diverged from what a Pentagon official said earlier Tuesday.

  The deep state seems to be what we were warned of as the “military-industrial complex,” or at least its defenders, and they want Trump out. This provides a solid reason to vote for him in 2020.

• Hackers and hucksters reinvigorate ‘Anonymous’ brand amid protests
  

  Millions of Twitter accounts recently began following longstanding Anonymous posters and retweeting them, helping boost Anonymous into Twitter’s Trending column and greater attention. Many of the boosted tweets opposed police actions, defended Black Lives Matter or faulted President Donald Trump.

  Stinks of an organized takeover. While insiders subverted this organization, the bot army promoted it, mainly to give these protests a “grassroots” flavor when they were anything but.

• Reddit slammed by former CEO Ellen Pao for ‘amplifying’ racism and hate
  

  Former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao harshly criticized the tech company on Tuesday after it published an open letter condemning racism, with Pao saying the social network knowingly makes money off hate. “You don’t get to say BLM when reddit nurtures and monetizes white supremacy and hate all day long,” Pao tweeted, referring to the Black Lives Matter movement.

  She means a sub dedicated to Trump which has been effectively banned by the site. Funny how these affirmative action cases who make their money off diversity lawsuits always find racism everywhere they look, but they only mention it when there is hope of a payout.

• 3 Prince George’s County officers suspended after video shows alleged police brutality incident
  

  Authorities say an officer observed an assault and chased down a man who was handcuffed at the gas station. A second man was also taken to the ground. After a second officer arrived police say the first officer kicked the second man twice. Officers say both of the men were released after the assault victim could not be located.

  We hear nothing about what the man was doing.

• Men wearing Hawaiian shirts and carrying guns add a volatile new element to protests
  

  The incident was one of a growing number in which far-right extremists who once organized mainly online have been inserting themselves into the real-world protests roiling much of the nation, sowing confusion about the nature of the protests and seeking attention for their causes.

  They’ve appeared, sometimes carrying assault rifles, at protests in Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Atlanta, Philadelphia and dozens of other cities, often wearing Hawaiian shirts – a seemingly goofy uniform that, within the ranks of their movement signals adherence to a violent, divisive, anti-government ideology.

  But where is the proof?

  Researchers are uncertain what role these groups have in the violence that has exploded across dozens of U.S. cities in recent nights, but they cite worrying signs.

  This article is pure conjecture based on a picture of two guys in Hawaiian shirts, which ordinary people wear as well.

• Germany wants to kick extremists out of military faster
  

  Current military rules mean that soldiers who have served for more than four years can only be kicked out after they have been convicted of a crime or removed as part of a court-led disciplinary procedure. In practice, this can mean soldiers remain in the military for years until they are removed.

  The bill proposed Wednesday by Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer allows the military to swiftly expel soldiers if their continued presence would “seriously threaten the military order or the reputation of the Bundeswehr” and they have served fewer than eight years.

  And how do you defend against these charges? By being a Leftist, of course!

• Exclusive: Most Americans sympathize with protests, disapprove of Trump’s response
  

  The survey conducted on Monday and Tuesday found 64% of American adults were “sympathetic to people who are out protesting right now,” while 27% said they were not and 9% were unsure.

  More than 55% of Americans said they disapproved of Trump’s handling of the protests, including 40% who “strongly” disapproved, while just one-third said they approved – lower than his overall job approval of 39%, the poll showed.

  Another non-event. The same people who vote Leftist hate Trump.

• N.J. police dispatcher resigns over racist comment on black protester
  

  In a photo posted on Facebook, the 8-year-old boy is pictured at a protest in Boston on Friday holding a sign, “At what age do I go from handsome to a threat?”

  The dispatcher, Marc Repace, commented, “17 give or take a year or two” and “LMFAO totally kidding.”

  Nonsense. Diversity, not Negroes, is the real threat.

• Two councilmembers concerned about video showing BPD officer restraining teen with knee
  

  In the video you hear the young man telling the officers his sister didn’t do anything.

  That’s when cell phone video shows two officers push the teen to the ground and one of them holds him down with his knee on the boy’s neck.

  He has him restrained that way for a few seconds while the second officer takes out his Taser and warns the other teens to back up, using an expletive in his commands.

  The “outrage” merely serves to advance the anti-white agenda, while in the meantime anti-white statements routinely get a pass:

  “Whiteness is not humxness,” the statement begins. “infact, white skin is sub-humxn.” The post goes on to present a genetics-based argument centred on melanin and enzyme.

  “White ppl are recessive genetic defects. this is factual,” the post reads towards the end. “white ppl need white supremacy as a mechanism to protect their survival as a people because all they can do is produce themselves. black ppl simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race if we had the power to.”

• Pregnant Elephant Ate Pineapple Stuffed With Crackers In Kerala. She Died Standing In River
  

  An elephant that was pregnant died in Kerala, standing in water, last Wednesday, after she ate a pineapple filled with firecrackers, allegedly left by some locals. The fruit exploded in her mouth, leading to the inevitable tragedy.

  Humans feel powerful by destroying powerful things. This is the same reason they oppose the rich,™ the white, and the naturally talented.

• Adolf Hitler house to be ‘neutralised’, Austria says
  

  The winning company – Marte.Marte, picked from among 12 candidates – submitted a plan which will cosmetically change the façade of the building and give it a new roof. Work is expected to be completed by 2023 and will cost about €5m ($5.6m; £4.5m).

  Destroying history in order to get trend-points seems to be the theme of this week.

• Man arrested after pulling rifle on Black Lives Matter protesters in Upland
  

  At some point during the tense altercation in San Bernardino County, a Trump supporter pulled out a rifle and threatened the BLM protesters, officials said.

  Wonder if these were really threats, or merely a demand to stop wrecking stuff before he had to light them up.

• Two Missouri university students withdraw over video appearing to mock George Floyd’s death
  

  In the video by the Missouri students, one girl who is held down on a couch by another girl laughs and says, “I can’t breathe.” Both girls appear to be white.

  One of the girls in the social media video was going to attend the University of Missouri and the other Missouri State University. In posts addressing the video, the schools said the students decided to withdraw.

  More lives destroyed for sound-bites and trend points. In other news: if they demand you resign or withdraw, never agree. That forces them to act and incur legal liability. They want to bluff you into quitting so they can demonize you in the media, then have you leave of your own accord so that they have no liability.

• Trinity County deputy placed on administrative leave after posting George Floyd memes
  

  The images posted by the Trinity County deputy show a popular figure from memes of a deceased pornographic actor sitting on Floyd’s head as he lies on the ground. The account that posted them lists Brandon Woodhouse as the user behind the account.

  We keep destroying lives for the pretense that diversity can work.

• Denver police officer fired for “Let’s start a riot” post during George Floyd protest
  

  A Denver police officer was fired Tuesday for posting a photo this weekend of himself and two other officers in tactical gear with the caption “Let’s start a riot” in the middle of demonstrations over the killing of George Floyd. Officer Thomas McClay was fired for violating the department’s social media policy.

  America has no sense of humor, no balls, and no guts left. Diversity ripped them all out.

• Oldest and largest ancient Maya structure found in Mexico
  

  The structure, unlike the soaring Maya pyramids at cities like Tikal in Guatemala and Palenque in Mexico erected some 1,500 years later, was not built of stone but rather of clay and earth, and likely was used for mass rituals, researchers said on Wednesday.

  There were no signs of sculptures depicting high-status individuals, suggesting Maya culture at this early stage was more communal and only later developed social inequality and a hierarchical society led by royalty, the researchers said.

  Empires rise with hierarchy and fall through class warfare, just as the burning USA is finding out now.

• Philadelphia Removes Statue of Ex-Mayor Frank Rizzo Who Was Accused of Racial Discrimination
  

  Rizzo, who died in 1991, cast a long shadow in Philadelphia. He was police commissioner from 1968-71 and served as mayor from 1972-80. His reputation for being tough on crime was coupled with complaints of racial discrimination.

  Destroy our history, and that way, we will have no idea who we are. Just like Leftists.

• Iowa Rep. Steve King defeated in GOP primary
  

  State Sen. Randy Feenstra defeated incumbent Rep. Steve King in Tuesday’s Republican primary for Iowa’s 4th congressional district, according to the Cook Political Report.

  King’s history of racist remarks has made him one of the most controversial politicians in the country and a pariah within the Republican Party.

  House Republican leadership stripped the nine-term congressman of his committee assignments in 2019 after he questioned in an interview with the New York Times how the terms “white nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization” became offensive.

  Propaganda and public panic are effective weapons.
