• 12 die as Malta uses private ships to push migrants back to Libya
  

  “Maltese authorities’ refusal to rescue these persons amount to a serious breach of international human rights and maritime law,’’ said Giulia Tranchina, human rights lawyer at Wilson Solicitors in London. “The survivors taken back to Libya have been placed again in arbitrary detention in inhuman conditions in the main EU-funded ‘official detention centre’ of Tariq Al Sikka, managed by the Libyan [Directorate for Illegal Migration] police, where male refugees are often tortured in underground cells for months.’’

  If you let any in, more will come; if you smash down attempts to come, fewer will attempt it. Cruel, or simply sanity: any successful society which does not exclude outsiders will drown in them and be assimilated. This is what happened to the ancient Jews, who had an empire stretching from France to North Africa, resulting in modern Jews being racially mixed.

• “Staggering number” of extra deaths in community is not explained by covid-19
  

  At a briefing hosted by the Science Media Centre on 12 May he explained that, over the past five weeks, care homes and other community settings had had to deal with a “staggering burden” of 30 000 more deaths than would normally be expected, as patients were moved out of hospitals that were anticipating high demand for beds.

  Of those 30 000, only 10 000 have had covid-19 specified on the death certificate. While Spiegelhalter acknowledged that some of these “excess deaths” might be the result of underdiagnosis, “the huge number of unexplained extra deaths in homes and care homes is extraordinary. When we look back . . . this rise in non-covid extra deaths outside the hospital is something I hope will be given really severe attention.”

  He added that many of these deaths would be among people “who may well have lived longer if they had managed to get to hospital.”

  Fear is the mindkiller. Shut down your hospitals to everything but COVID-19, and people die of other stuff at twice the rate.

• Jamie Dimon says coronavirus crisis is ‘wake-up call’ for a more inclusive economy
  

  “Unfortunately, low-income communities and people of color are being hit the hardest, exacerbating the health and economic inequities that were already unacceptably pronounced before the virus took over,” Dimon said.

  Wealthy people know about the circular Ponzi scheme.

• Trump tells WHO he’ll make funding freeze permanent unless ‘improvements’ are made
  

  It also accuses the WHO of being “curiously insistent on praising China for its ‘transparency’” and failing to call on Beijing to allow for an independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.

  Before 1991, the USSR was the control center for all Leftism. Now it is China. Respond accordingly.

• Suitcases full of cash offered at PPE factories overseas affecting global supply
  

  “The loyalty of the companies in China doesn’t exist anymore,” said Pecchioli.

  “Since COVID-19 started … in order to speed up and prioritize [orders], people arrived with cash, or cash arrived to China, allowing them to do the auction purchasing.”

  Globalism dies in the flames of its own utter failure.

• Infectious disease expert says he caught coronavirus through his eyes
  

  Dr. Joseph Fair — a virologist and epidemiologist who has spent decades studying deadly viruses such as Ebola — was wearing a mask and gloves on the April 24 plane trip to New Orleans but fell critically ill soon after.

  “I had a mask on. I had gloves on. I did my normal wipes routine, everything like that. But, you know, obviously you can still get it through your eyes,” Fair, 42, told NBC’s “Today” show in an interview from his hospital bed.

  This means that “social distancing” and wearing masks everywhere are security theater, not really addressing the problem. Gloves will not protect you either. You have to suit up with masks and goggles, wash your hands constantly, and not touch any of your mucus membranes including mouths, eyes, anuses, and female genitals. These aerosolized viruses will travel farther than six feet. The spray shields that nurses wear are similarly ineffective; you need to seal around the eyes so that outside air does not get in.

• As Walmart becomes a lifeline, online sales surged 74%
  

  But unlike its online rivals like Amazon, Walmart enjoys an extensive network of nearly 5,000 physical stores and a variety of delivery and pick-up options that it ramped up to meet crushing demand for essential items from paper towels to canned food. Walmart’s reputation for low prices also helped as the unemployment rate has spiraled to the high level since the Great Depression.

  Leftists hate Walmart because they like to pose at being wealthy and autonomous, and they see Walmart as a sort of breadline. Secretly, they hate the fact that Walmart forces you to interact with the actual general public instead of your own little bubble group, so you are no longer surrounded by fellow neurotic Leftist hipsters who agree that you are living the best possible life, but other people who may know other ways to live that work better. Walmart shows us the triumph of the conservative ideal: reduce costs through market competition, and let everyone live better; Amazon shows us the Leftist ideal, which is higher prices and token payments to various neurotic charities.

• US court orders Sudan to pay for 1998 embassy attacks
  

  Sudan’s recently installed reformist government has maintained that the nation’s enormous sovereign debt would prevent it from making good on any multi-billion-dollar settlement arising from the embassy bombings.

  We the taxpayers will end up sending them aid money to pay this off. On paper, the scheme is perfect. In reality, it is comedy.

• Millions of US farm animals to be culled by suffocation, drowning and shooting
  

  The American meat supply chain has been hit hard by the closure of slaughterhouses, due to Covid-19 infection rates among workers. 30 to 40 plants have closed, which means that in the highly consolidated US system beef and pork slaughtering capacity has been cut by 25% and 40% respectively, according to the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW).

  The closures have meant that animals cannot be killed for food and many must instead be culled, or “depopulated” at home.

  When immigrants supply your labor, they cannot be replaced by ordinary citizens, so animals die for our disorder (and the work of our unions).

  
  Indirect dependency
  Eternal attempt at amnesty
  He will decide who lives and dies
  Depopulate Satanas rise
  

• U.S. calls China’s $2 billion WHO pledge a ‘token,’ says it must pay more
  

  China’s commitment “is a token to distract from calls from a growing number of nations demanding accountability for the Chinese government’s failure to meet its obligations … to tell the truth and warn the world of what was coming,” White House National Security Council spokesman John Ullyot said in a statement.

  The sweet, sweet wail of eight synchronized TF33s.

• Google suspended a popular Android podcast app because it catalogs COVID-19 content
  

  The app’s creator, Xavier Guillemane, tells The Verge that on Saturday, Google suspended and removed the ads from his nine-year-old app because it violated a new policy for developers that requires any app with a reference to COVID-19 to be “published, commissioned, or authorized by official government entities or public health organizations.”

  Any source of mass mind control like media will quickly be bought by those who have an interest in seizing power. Bribes to people inside these organizations work more effectively than formally investing in the organization itself. For twenty million dollars in unmarked bills, China could buy control of Big Tech, and probably already has.

• Australian poll finds 1 in 8 blame Bill Gates and 5G for coronavirus

  Metaphor. The point is that big business, big government, and China benefited from this mess while everyone else is going to live in poverty while wearing masks and gloves obsessively. No one trusts Gates to have our best interests at heart with his vaccines.

• Exclusive: Nasdaq to tighten listing rules, restricting Chinese IPOs

  Conscious decoupling from globalism. If our economy depends on theirs, they can control us with their economy.

• High school senior becomes 1st black valedictorian with school’s highest GPA ever
  

  Adelakun, whose parents are from Nigeria, is the youngest of three children and neither of his parents attended college.

  He said that his major accomplishment is somewhat bittersweet considering his father — who was deported over a decade ago — won’t be there to help celebrate the big moment.

  Every time the Left needs to take control, it trots out the sop for the emotionally-fragile morons.

• Hundreds demand justice for Ahmaud Arbery at Georgia rally
  

  The crowd then marched away from the courthouse, taking a knee in silence and blocking traffic for more than 60 seconds to symbolize the days it took for arrests in the case.

  Then they chanted: “When black lives are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back.”

  This time, white people do not care. We realize that diversity is over. We are tired of sacrificing everything good to the infinite abyss of diversity, anti-poverty, and making sure Drag Queen Story Hour can be in every school. Notice how despite a media blitz, very few people seem to care much about this news topic.

• Report: 1.6 million Texans lost employer-sponsored health insurance
  

  About 20 percent, or 328,000 people, qualify for Medicaid. Roughly 55 percent, or 881,000 people, could receive government subsidies for health insurance plans from the Affordable Care Act marketplace.

  Across the U.S., an estimated 26.7 million employees lost health insurance benefits as the economic downturn forced companies to lay off workers, according to Kaiser Family Foundation figures.

  Apparently no one told them about COBRA:

  The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives workers and their families who lose their health benefits the right to choose to continue group health benefits provided by their group health plan for limited periods of time under certain circumstances such as voluntary or involuntary job loss, reduction in the hours worked, transition between jobs, death, divorce, and other life events. Qualified individuals may be required to pay the entire premium for coverage up to 102% of the cost to the plan.

  COBRA generally requires that group health plans sponsored by employers with 20 or more employees in the prior year offer employees and their families the opportunity for a temporary extension of health coverage (called continuation coverage) in certain instances where coverage under the plan would otherwise end.

  More likely, these are transient food service workers from small family businesses who had to close up and stop paying wages in order to pay rent.

• Officer Who Cuffed UM Doctor Has History of Complaints
  

  According to records obtained by New Times, this is far from the first time Menegazzo has been under investigation at MPD — since he was hired in 2012, disciplinary files show Menegazzo has logged eight citizen complaints and been investigated for 13 incidents involving the use of force.

  We should assume that all of those are legitimate, and forget that every man in prison swears on the grave of his mother that he is innocent and was railroaded and abused by the police.

• FBI phone probe links al Qaeda to Saudi who killed three at Florida base, Barr says
  

  The shooter, Second Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, 21, also wounded eight people before being killed by law enforcement during the Dec. 6, 2019, attack. He was on the base as part of a U.S. Navy training program designed to foster links with foreign allies.

  With diversity, they walk among us.

• As Africa Drowns in Garbage, the Plastics Business Keeps Booming

  Instead of shipping our garbage to the third world, we should use the Swedish method:

  Sweden has banned most landfill and has invested heavily with 34 waste-to-energy plants currently operating, with their first built in the 1940s.

  Each year they burn around 2 million tonnes of their own waste.

  They also import another 2 million tonnes from other countries, like the United Kingdom, which pays Sweden to take it.

  Sweden makes about $100 million a year from this trade.

  Official figures show about half of the waste in Sweden is recycled and 49 per cent is burnt for energy.

• Washing your hands is better than disposable gloves for preventing COVID-19 spread, Public Health says
  

  PHAC said donning gloves can lead to trouble if the wearer touches a contaminated surface and then touches their face. The virus can infect people by entering their eyes, nose or mouth.

• Missouri officers accused of assaulting black woman, son
  

  Andrew M. Stroth of the Chicago-based Action Injury Law Group said Marvia Gray was especially traumatized by how her son was treated given other high-profile incidents involving white officers and black men, including the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, another St. Louis suburb, in 2014.

  How minorities (regardless of race) wage war against the majority:

  1. Engage in constant criminality, taking from the majority
  2. When caught, provoke confrontation
  3. When that results in injury, play the victim

  It is a perfect passive-aggressive strategy.

• Video shows NYPD officer slam man onto sidewalk in arrest outside restaurant
  

  The man, whose identity was not disclosed, was issued a summons for having an open container of alcohol, O’Donnell said.

• NASA Just Released The Artemis Accords – Guidelines For Humans to Abide by in Space

  You can be like nature, and keep the good and toss the bad, or you can have lots of rules because everyone must be presumed to be bad. Those of us who are not negative tend to favor the former. Just get rid of the bad people. We do not need them and they hold us back.

• N.F.L. Owners Will Review Incentives to Boost Racial Diversity
  

  When the N.F.L. owners meet via video conference on Tuesday, they will consider proposals that would give competitive advantages to teams that hire nonwhite candidates for their general manager and top coaching positions, according to several people familiar with the measures who were not authorized to speak publicly about them.

  More affirmative action to make it seem like diversity “works,” when in fact it never does.

• Trump’s Deputies Extend Work Permits for 1,000s of Foreign Workers
  

  Tim Cook’s Apple got 647 extensions, Bill Gates’ Microsoft snagged 903 extensions, and Jeff Bezos’ Amazon got 1,245 extensions from the agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

  Just 62 of these 3,497 requests for foreign workers were denied by USCIS, according to data displayed by the agency’s ‘H-1B Employer Data Hub.’

  Big problems: American education rewards the wrong people, unions and high taxes have trashed American labor, and democracy always makes bad decisions. Cutting the H-1B flow will not address these underlying issues, but ideally, we would have zero immigration and zero foreign labor. Consciously decouple.

• As China pushes back on virus, Europe wakes to ‘Wolf Warrior’ diplomacy

  The world needs to wake to the necessity of walling China off in its own economy, at which point its people will eat Communism alive. In turn, we need to awaken to making ourselves useful again, instead of using ourselves as a means to fund pity programs for poor, gay, minorities, retards, insane, and women. Send away the defective, repatriate the Other, and tolerate our people in exchange for their behavior according to the cultural standards of the majority.

• Cop who was fired after Parkland shooting will get his job back: Union
  

  An internal investigation found that Miller, who was the first supervising officer who responded to the scene, hid behind his car while shots rang out inside the high school. The union said an arbitration ruled the “BSO violated Sgt. Brian Miller’s Constitutional due process rights and improperly terminated him.”

  The triumph of procedure over reality.

• ‘World has changed’ and harsh new immigration rules must be rethought, Tory MPs tell Boris Johnson
  

  Conservative MPs have called on Boris Johnson to rethink his harsh new immigration rules, because “the world has changed” with the vital role played by lower-paid migrant staff during the pandemic.

  This is as close you get to an admission that the UK socialized medicine scheme is bankrupt and depends on exploiting people to give UK voters their “free” healthcare, which they pay for fourfold through higher prices, lower wages, lower quality products, and a disintegrating society. But the voters spoke a mighty DURR and thus it became policy.

• Ardern becomes New Zealand’s most popular PM in a century: poll

  Things that adjust your functional intelligence:

  • Talking on cell phone while driving: -10 points
  • Doing heroin and meth in a dumpster: -5 points
  • Scrolling Facebook while “multitasking”: -5 points
  • Being in a democracy: -20 points

  The voters are morons. Or rather: in the name of compromise, the vote centers on the average, which is idiotic, so you get idiots approving of other idiots because unless we make Die Idiotenreich of peasant kings work, we get the kings back, and that upsets everyone because they secretly believe they are kings and actual monarchy would mean the end of the dream.

• Pune: Noticeable rise in natural pregnancies during lockdown

  Relax, enjoy life, and have more spontaneous low-stress sex and babies come popping out all over.

• Gangs terrorised Africa’s largest city in coronavirus lockdown. Vigilantes responded
  

  A small crowd of men, women and children gathered in his neighbourhood later that morning, he recalled, and the local community made plans to make sure it wouldn’t happen again.

  At sunset, armed with an iron rod and flashlight, Osadeiye joined other young men for night watch duties. After exchanging pleasantries, they would divide into smaller units to patrol darkened streets, occasionally using their rudimentary weapons to hit metal structures they walked past to make their presence known to outsiders.

  Across several neighbourhoods, especially from the hours 8-10pm, all the men would start gathering in groups, some armed with machetes and axes. Old tyres were set on fire at strategic locations to provide light to the guards, the black smoke polluting the night air. Some would set up road blocks and others would patrol on motorcycles.

  Life after government. It does exist, and it is in fact more efficient and pleasant than life with Big Government and civil rights breathing down your neck. Good to the good, and bad to the bad… usually exile, sometimes necklacing.
