erronis's JournalUS Law Enforcement Are Deliberately Targeting Journalists During George Floyd Protests
Source: Bellingcat
Bellingcat has identified and collected multiple instances of US law enforcement deliberately targeting journalists during the protests against the killing of George Floyd.
The arrest of a CNN crew in Minneapolis while broadcasting live on air on May 29th was a shocking event, especially in a country with such strong protections on freedom of speech. However as of the time of writing we have identified at least 29 separate incidents where journalists have been attacked by law enforcement.
This selection of incidents demonstrates that law enforcement across multiple cities, but especially in Minneapolis, are knowingly and deliberately targeting journalists with less lethal munitions, arrests and other forms of violence.
Considering the role of journalists to keep society informed about current events, as well as the strong constitutional protections of a free press in the United States, these actions by law enforcement represent an attack on the freedom of the press.

Blatant attacks against the press.
I can't imagine what would happen if we didn't have available video and citizen recorders.
FDA suspends Gates-backed at-home COVID-19 testing program
Source: Reuters
An at-home coronavirus testing project in Seattle backed in part by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said on Saturday it was working with U.S. regulators to resume the program after being suspended by the Food and Drug Administration.
The Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network (SCAN), which aims to monitor the spread of the novel coronavirus in the region, had said it was suspending its testing of patient samples collected at home after the Food and Drug Administration tightened guidelines to require emergency approval first.
The FDA has not raised any concerns regarding the safety and accuracy of SCANs test, but we have been asked to pause testing until we receive that additional authorization, SCAN said.
Separately, the FDA on Saturday approved a standalone at-home sample collection kit for Everlywell Inc, a health and wellness company, which launched its kit in March.

I'm sure that this isn't related to Melinda Gates: US coronavirus response 'lacking leadership at the federal level'
There is not one (r)epuglicon party. There is the former GOP and a parasite that has taken over.
The (r)epuglicons were always a fringe group since they catered to conservatives that feared change, feared "others". Their numbers were rarely very large except when stoked by fear-mongers.
The parasites have tried to corrupt the Democrats many times and disrupt any unity. Unfortunately most Democrats are fairly intelligent and open-minded. Not a good medium for parasitic growth.
But the parasites have totally conquered the (r)epuglicons. Gutting them from the inside and leaving just a stinky shell.
Not sure when this parasite started but it was probably during the cold war. Probably supported by enemies of the US, external and internal.
It has been more embedded and more dangerous with media outlets spewing their agents.
WaPo: I worked for Jared Kushner. Of course he says his covid-19 failure is a success.

Jared Kushners coronavirus response team, we learned this week, is fumbling because its largely staffed with inexperienced volunteers. Of course it is. Its being run by one.
Kushners lack of experience and expertise has not been remedied in any way during his now three-plus years in the White House. After bungling many high-profile efforts to address various problems and often making them worse (see, Middle East, peace in), he keeps being handed more responsibilities with higher stakes. He has wasted taxpayer resources and endangered lives trying on policy roles usually reserved for the countrys top experts with the sophistication of a child playing dress-up, cavalierly discarding them when he cant fit into them.
I'm glad to see the WaPo start to be a good investigative reporting organization. For too long it was part of the DC power group.
Is there a game plan, a credo, a document that outlines how they want to destroy US?
There's way too much coordination between the (r)epuglicons in the US senate/house, the state governors and legislators, the peeResident, the RW media, the NRA, the armed nut-jobs, etc. for there not to be some outline of how this is supposed to play out.
I don't believe at all that these are all independent acts of "patriots" or "libertarians" or "trumpistas". They are coordinated.
Someone is orchestrating this. Somewhere there is a plan - written/interactive/recorded. Is there a book that guides them? Do they have monthly video chats or do they just meet in a yacht regatta or secluded island?
What is their end-game? Where do "they" want to be in 1, 2, 5, 50 years?
How many lower-class people will be left alive? How will "they" clean up the stench?
The southern border wall is a manifestation of their fear of people flooding the US and depriving "them" of their rightful inheritance of land and power.
I'm out of tin-foil. This is a real question for me.
