Hooters Restaurant in Plano, Texas Attacked by Mob of ‘Youths' and Children–Over a Candy Bar? (Video)
[Gateway] Videos posted to social media show a mob of young Black men, teens and children violently attacking a Hooters restaurant in Plano, Texas on Thursday, according to posters of the videos. Customers and staff were attacked at the entrance and windows were smashed. A woman inside the Hooters can be heard off camera exclaiming, "It’s over a f***ing chocolate bar!"

The videos show what appears to be staff retreating to the entrance from a dispute outside in the parking lot that turned violent. The staff is attacked in the vestibule, with one male staff member assuming the BLM kneeling position to no avail.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
‘I Broke My Face': Fitness Influencer Goes Viral with Disastrous Workout Stunt
Gravity vs. Mass
[Breitbart] Martyn sustained his embarrassing injury after he tried to bench press Instagram gym model Angelina Maldonado, standing on a round “bumper plate.” Lying on his back as Maldonado tried to balance herself on the small plate, he began the lift, but the thing slipped from his hands, and the plate and his wife came slamming down on top of him.

In the longer video posted to his TikTok, Bradley is even heard saying, “This is the dumbest s–t. We’re gonna hurt ourselves,” just before the stunt went horribly wrong.

Martyn later explained where it all fell apart on him.

“I tried to lift a girl. Now, I’ve done this before where a girl sat down on a plate and I pressed her. But, someone was like, ‘Why don’t you have her stand up?’ and I was like yeah, that’s cool, that’s easy,” he said, according to the New York Post.

He also said he should not have used a bumper plate because it was too hard for Maldonado to balance on.

Despite the now famous flub, Martyn tried the stunt again, and in subsequent videos, he is seen performing it without mishap.

#6  Their mistake was having her try to balance balance herself on the thing as opposed to her holding a stiff position, trusting him to both lift and balance. If both are trying to balance her, every adjustment becomes a greater over-control, putting the whole thing even further out of balance until it goes over. I discovered this the hard way, when Mr, Wife was holding me in a basic two-foot stand at full extension over his head, and for some reason one of my knees slightly buckled; there was no way for me to regain position or for him to accommodate it once I was the slightest bit wobbly — we also learned that when my head hits from that great height my skull rings a perfect A above Middle C.

This is the kind of thing they were aiming for (the first pair aren't as interesting, but the others demonstrate nicely what I’m talking about):

Florida High School Student, 15, Body Slams And Punches A Cop Trying To Break Up Fight Between Two Other Kids
  • [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Video shows the moment a 15-year-old high school student wraps his arms around a school resource officer and flips him to the ground

  • The unnamed boy then continues to body slam himself against the officer until a group of bystanders intervenes

  • Authorities say the attack was unprovoked, as Officer Ball was trying to break up a fight between two other teenagers at St. Cloud High School at the time

  • The boy was arrested Thursday for battery of a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence
According to his profile on the St. Cloud High School website, Ball previously served in the United States Air Force for for years, and has been an officer with the St. Cloud Police Department for 18 years.

You can;t know because the taboo of reporting black on white crime is so ingrained in the media now.

FL Sheriff to Homeowners: Shoot Looters Until They Look ‘Like Grated Cheese'
[Breitbart] Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd is telling residents of his county to protect their homes by shooting looters until they look “like grated cheese.”

Grady told FOX News on Friday, “People have a right to be safe in their homes. They have a right for their property to be safe, even when part of their home may be torn away, and these looters, that’s unacceptable.”

Ugandan president's son offers 100 cows to marry likely Italian PM Giorgia Meloni
She’s a grown woman who already has a partner and a child. Is the spoilt Nigerian brat willing to move to Italy to be merely Husband #2?
[JustTheNews] Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba,
...the Ugandan version of Joe-Bob...
issued a bizarre string of Tweets this week in which offered to trade 100 cows for the right to marry likely Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and threatened war should the "Romans" refuse his offer.

"For my Italian friends, these are Nkore cows," Kainerugaba wrote. "The most beautiful cows on earth. I know Europeans give girls they like flowers? I have never understood it. In our culture you give a girl you like a cow."

"I would give her 100 Nkore cows immediately! For being fearless and true!!" he wrote in a separate Tweet that included a picture of Meloni.

Kainerugaba continued the tirade with a threat to go to war with Italy in the event that his offer of bovine was unwelcome, saying "[i]f the Romans reject our cows that means we must capture Rome. That would take us days to do," he said.

The president's son carried the schtick into the week, posting on Tuesday that "I think I have to start with Rome. But how do I get 100 cows through Customs?"

Kainerugaba's account has over 600,000 followers. He is known colloquially as the "Tweeting General" due to his unusual social media habits and military rank.

Museveni on Wednesday formally apologized for unrelated comments Kainerugaba made threatening to invade Kenya and announced he was removing his son from command of the country's land forces while simultaneously promoting him to four-star general, Politico reported. Museveni did not address his son's proposal to the Italian politician.

China-Japan-Koreas
China ‘began stockpiling PPE months before Covid outbreak'
Remember when we were told to not buy masks because they didn't work?
[Telegraph] China also started to buy up global PPE stocks in Europe, Australia and the US around the same time, experts say

China began severely restricting the export of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gowns and masks, months before notifying the world of the outbreak of Covid-19, it has emerged.

PPE exports to the US fell by around 50 per cent between August and September of 2019, in a significant drop which raised alarm bells at key US government agencies.

China also started to buy up global PPE stocks in Europe, Australia and the US around the same time, experts said.

The fall in PPE supplies exiting China, the world’s biggest manufacturer of PPE, raises new questions about the true timeline of the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.

An altered timeline would significantly challenge the theory that the pandemic originated from a seafood market in Wuhan, where the first cases emerged in December 2019.

The anomaly was uncovered by former US government officials including Dr Tom McGinn, a Senior Health Advisor at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Colonel John Hoffman, a Senior Research Fellow with the Food Protection and Defence Institute whose career spans decades in US government and military.

The pair were unconvinced that the virus had started at the Wuhan Wet Market in December 2019, after and began looking for an alternative theory.

After scouring a Customs and Border Protection database which tracks goods entering the US, they noticed China had started hoarding PPE far earlier than the initial date of the outbreak.

"You can go and look about three years back [at import data]", said Colonel Hoffman. "This is not the normal up and down that occurs"

The pair presented the information to DHS’s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office, which declined to investigate, saying the drop reflected normal supply fluctuations.

However when Col Hoffman contacted one of America’s biggest hospital networks, HCA Healthcare, the organisation confirmed it was highly unusual.

Major U.S. hospital chain sees 'unprecedented,' 'absolutely massive' alleged ransomware attack
[JustTheNews] A reportedly major ransomware attack has affected one of the country's largest hospital chains in what one expert described as an "unprecedented" assault on the organization's IT systems.

CommonSpirit Health, the second-largest nonprofit health chain in the United States, said in a statement on its website this week that it had "identified an IT security issue that is impacting some of our facilities."

"We have taken certain systems offline," the group said. "We are continuing to investigate this issue and follow existing protocols for system outages."

Though the statement appeared to suggest that the issue was not overtly severe, one expert told the Washington Post that the issue was for more significant than CommonSpirit's claims would indicate.

“The scope is perhaps unprecedented in terms of the health-care sector,” threat analyst Brett Callow told the newspaper. The hack, he said, was “absolutely massive."

CommonSpirit itself said it had "rescheduled some patient appointments" in light of the breach, while multiple facilities in the chain's network had reported various issues including scheduling delays and issues with ambulance dispatchment.
Security Affairs adds:
The alleged security breach led to delayed surgeries, hold-ups in patient care and forced the chain to reschedule doctor appointments across the country.

NBC News added that multiple facilities have been impacted the ransomware attacks. The media reported that CHI Memorial Hospital (Tennessee), some St. Luke’s hospitals (Texas), and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health (Seattle) were impacted.

CommonSpirit did not share details about the problems its hospitals are facing across the country.

At this time, none of the ransomware gangs claimed responsibility for the attack. It is unclear if the threat actors have stolen data from the infrastructure of the hotel chain.

Science & Technology
An Estimated 30,000 Americans Were Killed by Ventilators & Iatrogenesis in April 2020
[New Normal] To date, we still don’t have especially good studies on the actual causes of excess deaths by state and country when the world first went into lockdown in spring 2020.

For political reasons, these deaths were all generally been lumped together as "Covid deaths," but this coding was appallingly sloppy. According to the World Health Organization’s initial coding guidance, if a decedent had either tested positive—using a PCR test later confirmed by the New York Times to have a false positive rate over 85%—or been in contact with anyone who had within several weeks prior to their death, then the death should be classified as a "Covid death." This enormous number of "Covid deaths" was obviously belied by the fact that many places reporting those "Covid deaths," such as Maine, actually had no excess deaths to speak of.

Thus, this article reexamines data from the US CDC on all-cause excess deaths by state during peak lockdown in April 2020 using the information we now know to determine what actually caused them.

This examination concludes that, contrary to popular belief, there was no uniquely deadly strain or variant emanating out of New York in spring 2020; this is clear from the fact that several states close to New York such as Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine experienced little to no excess deaths during that time period.

On the contrary, over 30,000 Americans appear to have been killed by mechanical ventilators or other forms of medical iatrogenesis throughout April 2020, primarily in the area around New York.
Cure much worse than the disease ?
This result is not altogether surprising, as subsequent studies revealed a 97.2% mortality rate among those over age 65 who were put on mechanical ventilators in accordance with the initial guidance from the WHO—as opposed to a 26.6% mortality rate among those over age 65 who weren’t put on mechanical ventilators—before a grassroots campaign put a stop to the practice by the beginning of May 2020.

As one doctor later told the Wall Street Journal, "We were intubating sick patients very early. Not for the patients’ benefit, but in order to control the epidemic... That felt awful."
He lamented as he drove away from the hospital in his Bentley Mulsanne.
To put this in perspective, patients over age 65 were more than 26 times as likely to survive if they were not placed on mechanical ventilators.

#6  We still don't know, but but should try to discover who died "from" COVID and who died "with" COVID.

Of course we know. Look at the co-morbidities. The CDC knows this data. They and their media stenographers have been lying shamelessly about it due over two years —- with one exception.

Walensky the CDC chief admitted that over 90% of the deaths attributed to COVID actually occurred with multiple co-morbidities. She said so in a public appearance. It was briefly reported and then the story disappeared from view, like so many other embarrassing facts about this ridiculously overhyped pseudo-crisis.

So the number of actual deaths from COVID is on the order of less than 90,000 per year, which is equivalent to a nasty flu season in this country.

#16  Controlling the spread was not the issue. Collecting the COVID death bounty was the issue. The approved protocol was a death sentence, especially the administering of Remdesivir which destroys the kidneys. When on a ventilator, they would pump up the pressure and ruin the patients lungs.

Big Lizzie's real-life Iron Man! Moment Royal Navy servicemen fly through air over New York harbour using JET PACKS and land on HMS Queen Elizabeth as warship hosts Anglo-American military conference
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Royal Navy servicemen soared over the New York Harbour in jet packs last month at the Atlantic Future Forum

  • They hovered Harbour and flew towards the HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Navy's largest and most powerful ship

  • The Royal Navy has been testing out the concept of Jet Suit assault teams for about two years
The flights, made possible by innovative technology from Gravity Industries, utilise more than 1000bhp of Jet Engine power.

#4  As Adele droned an anthem, the Queen
Blasted off -- Mr. Craig did, we mean --
But our wig blew away
And he lost his toupee,
Rather dashing the triumph, we ween,
Of our public relations machine.
