[MAIL] A car park located in Hanau, Germany, has unveiled dedicated parking spaces reserved for LGBTQ and migrant drivers. Mixing LGBTQIIA...and Muslims. Awesome. Then they can get together on the roof for gravity parties
Hanauer Parkhaus GmbH (HPG) built three 'diversity' parking spaces in an underground car park in Hanau city centre, which will cater only to LGBTQ individuals and migrants.
Thomas Morlock, the chairman of the supervisory board of HPG and a city councillor, said at the inauguration of the parking spaces that the aim was to help people who feel 'a special need for protection'.
It is not immediately clear how the authorities intend to monitor whether people who park in the spaces are in fact part of the LGBTQ community or migrants, though HPG said a camera would monitor the car park.
[HotAir] This happened in a suburb of Atlanta called Douglasville. At least seven black families in one subdivision began receiving letters that claimed to have come from a man who described himself as a member of the KKK. This local news report from March describes the letters as containing “frightening and racist terroristic threats.” One man who received one of the letters told the station it described killing whole families, murdering children and burning down the homes of the recipients.
After the report in March and efforts by the police to find the person leaving them, the letters stopped for six months.
[Detective Nathan] Shumaker and Andre Futch, another detective who worked the case, went door to door to check doorbell cameras and gather any clues they could. The detectives also walked the neighborhood several times and handed out flyers to Brookmont residents.
“By mid-March, we really didn’t have anything to go on,” Shumaker said.
Had the suspect simply stopped at that point, police might never have caught anyone. But then another letter was delivered on Sep. 6. That led to a clue which was enough for the detectives to get a search warrant for the home of 30-year-old Terresha Lucas. It turned out the person behind the racist notes directed at black families was a black woman.
Terresha Lucas, 30, was arrested Wednesday and charged with eight counts of terroristic threats and acts. She made her first court appearance Thursday morning and was denied bond, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News.

Just because she is black they are assuming she is not in the KKK? The KKK has had one of the best Diversity, Inclusion and Equity program in America. After all when was the last KKK letter or racist graffiti not written by a minority.
#2
KKK/UKA as we know it actually cease to exist in 1987-87.
Lawyers Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)and Beulah Mae Donald, the mother of Michael Donald, sued the KKK/UKA (aka United Klan's of America) and won.
The Alabama all-White jury found the KKK/UKA responsible and ordered them to pay $7 million.
However, the KKK/UKA did not have sufficient assets and funds to pay the fine. So, The KKK/UKA sold off their assets and were still short $Millions for the Lawsuit Settlement.
NOW A LEGAL QUESTION TO PONDER
Since the KKK/UKA came up short on the total Lawsuit settlement amount.
Does that mean the Southern Poverty Law Center and the estate (or descendants) of Beulah Mae Donald technically the last owners, or still owners, of the KKK/UKA ....

Douglasville says it all, what a shithole of a town. It is the only place in the south that I have been recruited to join an Aryan nation group though.

/\ D'ville has another name (among locals) that shall not be uttered here.
[PJMEDIA] James O’Keefe and Project Veritas has struck again and this time, it looks like undercover honey pots took some Pfizer nerds out for dinner and got them talking about stuff The Man doesn’t want you to know—specifically, that natural immunity is better than the COVID vaccine. Duh. We all know this. But the Ministry of Truth is trying to bury knowledge we’ve all had since birth and pretend that none of our grandparents knew how to treat a respiratory virus.
Project Veritas’s new undercover video exposes Pfizer scientists admitting what we all already know. Get ready for this one. It’s illuminating. (I can’t be the only one who feels a little bad for these lab geeks who think they’re out on a date with a pretty girl. They’re never going to trust women again. And I hope they don’t get fired. They seem like decent dudes.)
Nick Karl, a biochemist at Pfizer, said, "When somebody is naturally immune— like they got COVID— they probably have...more antibodies against the virus because what the vaccine is...that protein is just on the outside." He continued explaining, "It’s just one antibody against one specific part of the virus. When you actually get the virus you’ll start producing antibodies against multiple pieces of virus, not only the outside portion but the inside portion, the actual virus so your antibodies are probably better at that point than the vaccination."
Two other scientists had the same things to say. "You’re protected most likely for longer since it’s a natural response," said Chris Croce, senior associate scientist at Pfizer.
Scientist Raul Khandke concurred, saying, "We’re like bred and taught to be like [the] vaccine is safer than actually getting COVID...you cannot like talk about this, it’s not in public. If you have antibodies built up, you should be able to prove that you have those built up."
Croce added, "I feel like I work for an evil corporation...basically our organization is run on COVID money now." Croce then talked about how paranoid Pfizer is about this information getting out there. "There’s eyes and ears everywhere. You don’t talk about anything that could possibly implicate you or Big Pharma. Even when you shut the door to the office, it’s like, ’who’s listening?'"

Groovy. So, what's gonna happen now? All the vaccinated anti-vaxxers will wait for their induced immunity to pass, and then go out & get the real thing?
#3
NN2N1 please notice that USA basically follows Israeli Covid policies with a delay. So, you shouldn't worry.
The secret, Israel has military intelligence unit dealing with threat assessment & targets designation analyze covid trends - with some research students doing regular professional literature surveys for the magic guys.

Yup. The worst will those who have been true believers and will go about boldly, confident in their covid skills and paper masks. The worst carriers will be the Karens, who like to range and yell.

/\ But your people g(r)om, (unlike ours) stopped just short of funding the research effort at Wuhan. Sort of a Polakow-Suransky 'The Unspoken Alliance.' P.W. Botha - Perez, etc, etc. But perhaps we shouldn't go there.
At 20$ per shot (as compared to 50K $ per hospitalization or 2100$ per monoclonal) what big money we're talking about?
p.s. The report is these guys' speculation. It's not based on experiments etc... And, while these guys maybe tops in their narrow specialization - they see diddly squat of the big picture.
The story of multiple proteins is bullshit. If that biochemist actually studied immunology, he'd know that while an initial immune response involves thousands of lymphocyte clones, eventually only one remains - and provides immune memory. That's known as affinity maturation
pp.s. The whole emphasis on antibodies is bullshit. Antiviral immunity is based on T cells: T killer cells that kill virus infected cells. And T helper cells that direct them (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_helper_cell).

#5 Lets get two things straight.
(a) There was nothing wrong with Israel having business with South Africa. By now, 20+ years after Apartheid was abolished, it should be clear to everyone that it was the lesser evil.
(b) You people always talk about Fauci financing the Wuhan experiments (EcoHealth received $3.7m from the NIH, $600,000 of which was given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.). Well, research such as was carried in Wuhan, should cost tens of millions. So USA 600K maybe financed coffee & donuts for personnel.
[Breitbart] A Colorado woman in dire need of a new kidney has been denied a transplant at UCHealth because she and her donor have not received a coronavirus vaccination.
Leilani Lutali is suffering from stage five renal failure and met a willing donor in Jamiee Fougner at a bible study ten months ago, CBS 4 reports. Though the women wish to go through with the operation, they have run into issues regarding UCHealth’s coronavirus vaccination policy.

Well, since they have all these unvaccinated nurses - whom they can't fire, allowing the procedure for unvaccinated runs a good chance of them catching Covid from one of these "angels of mercy" and dying. That is, a multibillion dollar lawsuit against the hospital by the relatives.

Aren't immunosuppressants part of the transplant protocol? Could be a complication either way.

Really? Can't quarantine for 7 days with daily tests? Everything on the table to save every life, wasn't that The Rally Call some 20 months ago?
Worse than that SS6874. In other hospitals newborns are being held until the mother, who will be breastfeeding, is put on an experimental medication. What they are doing to those mothers making them feel like they are poisoning their own child with every meal, is just sick, like the animal torturer level sick.
#6
#3 That's why hospitals that have unvaccinated personnel should not do transplants - or any other operations that significantly weakens the patient.
#8
Where am I wrong here? The patients don't have it, the operation is performed, somebody involved in the operation gets it, they didn't get it from the patients.

How is that an if if in isolation longer than the gestation, and with testing? Monster under the bed?

[Guardian] It was a routine bike ride around the neighborhood that landed Zachary McCoy in the crosshairs of the Gainesville, Florida, police department.
In January 2020, an alarming email from Google landed in McCoy’s inbox. Police were requesting his user data, the company told him, and McCoy had seven days to go to court and block its release.
McCoy later found out the request was part of an investigation into the burglary of a nearby home the year before. The evidence that cast him as a suspect was his location during his bike ride — information the police obtained from Google through what is called a geofence warrant. For simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time, McCoy was being investigated and, as a result, his Google data was at risk of being handed over to the police.
Geofence location warrants and reverse search warrants such as the ones McCoy dealt with are increasingly becoming the tool of choice for law enforcement. Google revealed for the first time in August that it received 11,554 geofence location warrants from law enforcement agencies in 2020, up from 8,396 in 2019 and 982 in 2018.
It’s a concerning trend, argue experts and advocates. They worry the increase signals the start of a new era, one in which law enforcement agencies find ever more creative ways to obtain user information from data-rich tech companies. And they fear agencies and jurisdictions will use this relatively unchecked mechanism in the context of new and controversial laws such as the criminalization of nearly all abortions in Texas.
"As long as the data exists, all it takes is a creative law enforcement officer to say, ’Hey, we can get a warrant or we can send a subpoena for this particular subset of the data that’s already being harvested’," said Caleb Kenyon, the defense attorney who represented McCoy, to the Guardian. "They’re coming up with everything they can to do their job. That’s all it takes for the next type of [reverse] search warrant to come about."
DRAGNET SEARCH WARRANT
Lawyers such as Kenyon and privacy experts argue geofence and other broad warrants such as those that ask companies to sift through keywords people searched for are akin to a general warrant, made illegal by the fourth amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures. Unlike other kinds of search warrants, which are targeted and seek information about people who law enforcement has probable cause to believe has committed a specific crime, these warrants don’t have a particular person in mind.
In other words, with reverse search warrants law enforcement is still looking for their suspect and they’re asking tech companies to give them a list of people to investigate. For geofence warrants, anyone in a certain place at a certain time becomes a suspect and is subject to further investigation which could mean giving police even more of their user data. For keyword search warrants, another relatively new mechanism to obtain user information that has emerged, anyone who searched for a certain phrase or address becomes a suspect.
[VAtagePoint] In 1945, warehouses in Birmingham, England, were brimming with unsent postal mail intended for U.S. soldiers at the frontlines. At the same time, African American organizations pressed the War Department to create more opportunities for African American Women’s Army Corps members to serve. Tackling two issues at once, the War Department started recruiting African American women and formed the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. The job was expected to take six months. The "Six Triple Eight" did it in three.
Retired Air Force Major Fannie Griffin McClendon was one of these women to take up the monumental task of ensuring soldiers on the frontlines received mail sent to them by their loved ones, regardless of rain, sleet, "buzz bombs," racism, and sexism. Indeed, throughout her time in the 6888th Battalion and later as a commander with Strategic Air Command, she faced and overcame many instances of racism and sexism thrown at her. This ranged from men who refused to serve under her because she was a woman. Focusing on her vital duties to the country, McClendon knocked down barriers and shattered glass ceilings at every corner of her military career.
[ZeroHedge] China has been taking advantage of a 'data void' in order to flood social media platforms with Chinese-backed conspiracy theories regarding the origins of Covid-19, which in turn affects algorithmic results from popular search engines such as Google and Bing, according to the Washington Post, citing a Tuesday report by the Alliance for Securing Democracy (ASD). "data void" created by American news and social media companies suppressing Covid's Chinese origins.
The Chinese posts have almost exclusively focused on a theory that Covid-19 was created in a lab at Fort Detrick, home to the US Army's Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) - which will ring a bell for anyone who read The Hot Zone, and was then purposefully spread throughout Wuhan, China during the October 2019 Military World Games.
By saturating social media platforms with this theory, it now crops up when people search for other things via popular search engines.
What’s particularly noteworthy about the campaign, researchers said, is that the officials have tapped into a highly effective means for spreading misinformation and disinformation: filling the Internet with misleading content on issues where there’s a dearth of reliable information. The result is that when users search for these more obscure topics — when they type "Fort Detrick" into Google or Bing — they are more likely to see Chinese-backed conspiracy theories.
...
According to the report, news search results for Fort Detrick across Google, YouTube and Bing were "dominated" by state-run Chinese media such as CGTN and the Global Times at various times since May. Researchers called the outlets "central to Beijing’s information operations." -WaPo
"It gives an advantage to those who are trying to promote this conspiracy because they continue to publish on it over and over and over and over, so that when someone who's not familiar with the term just Googles it ... you tend to get the conspiracy theorist’s point of view," said Bret Schafer, a media and digital disinformation fellow at ASD who co-authored the report.

The ship's name alone did that. Izumo is an old and honored name in Japanese naval history - the first Izumo was the first truly modern warship in the old IJN, and as such holds a place like our Monitor or the RN's Warrior. Giving her that name, the Japanese were quietly letting everybody know that they were back at sea, and in the big leagues again. Tough lil' boat she was, too - was still in service in WWII as a training ship and almost made it, finally sunk by the USN at Kure in the summer of '45.
Of course, even better is the name they gave to Izumo's sister ship.

[REGNUM] The historical epic "The Battle of Choxing Reservoir" continued to dominate the box office in mainland China on October 5, data from China Movie Data showed, Xinhua reported.
The film, co-directed by Chen Kaige , Hark Tsui and Dante Lam , finished its sixth day of screening with over 487 million yuan (about $ 75.1 million) in gross, bringing its total profit to nearly 2.5 billion yuan.
The film is set during the Korean War and the repulsion of the US aggression in the framework of China's aid to Korea (1950-1953). The film stars Wu Jing and Jackson Yi . The film tells the story of Chinese Volunteer People's Soldiers fighting bravely in cold temperatures in a key campaign at Lake Changjin, or Choxin Reservoir.
It was followed by the patriotic anthology “Me and My Parents' Generation,” which came in second with a daily gross of around RMB 126 million. The Chinese children's film Little Canned Man earned 5.85 million yuan on the same day, finishing in third place.

It should be noted that Mao's incursion into North Korea was in direct contravention to the CCP's statement that China would defend her borders only.
A good chunk of CPVF's successes hinged on Gen. Douglas MacArthur's refusal to believe what his own intelligence was telling him.

[Bearing Arms] Many administrative employees of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives are drawing bigger paychecks than they’re allowed by law, at least according to a whistleblower who’s come forward with details of fraud and abuse within the agency. CBS News was the first to report on the allegations by a now-former employee, who says he was dismissed from his job after alerting his superiors to the wrongdoing.
[American Greatness] Leaked Pfizer internal emails exposed by Project Veritas Wednesday night revealed that the drug company used fetal stem cells to develop its COVID-19 vaccine, and tried to hide that fact from the public, particularly Catholics who are bound by their faith to avoid products that violate church teaching on abortion.
Pfizer insider, Melissa Strickler discussed with Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe how corporate executives instructed staff to be secretive about the use of human fetal tissue in laboratory testing of the COVID vaccine.
The whistleblower works as a "quality auditor" for Pfizer, according to Project Veritas.
Pfizer’s Chief Scientific Officer, Philip Dormitzer, admitted in one email that aborted fetus tissue was used in the company’s vaccine program, but he told employees to stick with Pfizer’s PR talking points that failed to disclose the truth.
"HEK293T cells, used for the IVE assay, are ultimately derived from an aborted fetus," Dormitzer wrote. "On the other hand, the Vatican doctrinal committee has confirmed that they consider it acceptable for Pro-Life believers to be immunized. Pfizer’s official statement couches the answer well and is what should be provided in response to an outside inquiry."
Vanessa Gelman, who serves as Pfizer’s Senior Director of Worldwide Research, urged staff to avoid talking about the human fetal cells in the company’s vaccine program.
"From the perspective of corporate affairs, we want to avoid having the information on fetal cells floating out there," Gelman said.
"The risk of communicating this right now outweighs any potential benefit we could see, particularly with general members of the public who may take this information and use it in ways we may not want out there. We have not received any questions from policy makers or media on this issue in the last few weeks, so we want to avoid raising this if possible," she said.
[Western Journal] FBI agents on Tuesday raided the New York headquarters for the Sergeants Benevolent Association, a union for active and retired New York City Police Department members that strongly supported then-President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
The 13,000-member union is New York’s second-largest police union, CNN reported. While it is unclear exactly what investigators were looking for, the outlet reported a search warrant was executed early Tuesday.
The outlet also reported a home on Long Island in the community of Port Washington was also visited by agents as part of an investigation. The home reportedly belongs to SBA President Ed Mullins.
There is no word yet regarding what that investigation might be related to.
[Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis] Months after recovering from mild cases of COVID-19, people still have immune cells in their body pumping out antibodies against the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a study from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Such cells could persist for a lifetime, churning out antibodies all the while.
(October 6, 2021 / JNS) The Israeli defense company Elbit unveiled a new artificial-intelligence-powered system last month to transform assault rifles into digital combat machines that are far more lethal and effective.
The system, called Assault Rifle Combat Application System (ACRAS), is "a step-change in the lethality, mission effectiveness and survivability of dismounted soldiers in both day and night," said the company.
It provides infantry and special operation forces with combat capabilities not available to them before, such as measuring ranges to targets without a laser, automatic ballistic correction, detection of enemy fire sources, video motion detection and even the ability to shoot around the corner and from the hip.
The system presents data through the rifle’s sight or an optional digital eyepiece display.

Gordon R. Dickson's Soldier Ask Not(1967)...
The military used "spring rifles" (hi-tech crossbows) and any street thug used energy blasters because all the militaries had EMP weapons that would nerf anything complicated.
[YNet] - Study published in the New England Journal of Medicine collected data from 2.5 million vaccinated Israelis found 2.13 cases per 100,000, with 98% of them having a mild to moderate disease and no impairment of heart function
"Males between 16 and 29 years of age have an increased risk of developing heart problems after receiving a second dose of coronavirus vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNtech or Moderna, according to a large new analysis published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"The study, conducted in Israel, estimated that nearly 11 of every 100,000 males in that age group developed myocarditis, inflammation of the heart, a few days after having been fully vaccinated. That figure is higher than most earlier estimates.
"Boys between 16 and 19 years of age had the highest incidence of myocarditis after the second dose, according to a second study in the journal. The risk of heart problems in boys of that age was about nine times higher than in unvaccinated boys of the same age."
he incidence of myocarditis is 2.13 cases per 100,000 vaccinated, with 98% of them having a mild to moderate disease without any impairment of heart function.
One person suffered from a serious illness that required hospitalization, after which he recovered. The rare side effect occurred more after the second vaccine dose, 69% more than after the first, in men more than in women, and more between the ages of 16 and 29.
So you can both be telling the truth, Diogenes, though it pains me to credit the New York Times in any way ever.

Um... no. The questions are clear and straightforward:
Does the vaccine pose a significant risk to the health of our young men?
Is that risk significantly greater than the risk to unvaccinated young men of being hospitalized with COVID?
The answers are YES and YES.
The risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis to a young man is on the order of 1:10,099.
Per CDC data the risk to unvaccinated young men of being hospitalized with COVID is on the order of 1:50,000.
Whatever one's views on this issue -- I'm not anti-vaccine, myself -- the hard empirical truth is that the Pfizer vax poses a significant risk to the health of our young men that is at least as great as COVID risk. That is undeniable fact.
We will all get along better when and if the extremists stop distorting the data to confirm their pre-existing biases and/or serve their agendas.
#6
You are right, Diogenes, except that the article isn’t making that claim, just that the overall numbers are very low. The toplines, if you will. You are digging into the internal numbers.
There is a difference between lying, with or without statistics, and describing different parts of the elephant.
#7
Since there's a lot of discussion of the costs of COVID, I guess it's worth asking - If a young person at very low risk for COVID winds up needing treatment for myocarditis from age 15 til an early death, won't that maybe cost more than a mild case of COVID?

Btw, lest we let the NYT off the hook, this characterization is misleading:
"The study ...estimated that nearly 11 of every 100,000 males in that age group developed myocarditis, inflammation of the heart, a few days after having been fully vaccinated. That figure is higher than most earlier estimates."
The official estimate from the CDC itself was about 1:10,000. That was released over the summer and made available on the CDC's own website and disclosed also in the public hearings held over the summer. Many intelligent and data-literate parents of young men saw and remembered this figure, compared it to the historical COVID figures and concluded, reasonably, that the vaccine posed a greater threat to their sons' health than COVID does.
Again, I don't necessarily agree with their choice, but these people's refusal to vaccinate their sons is in this case, based on this empirical data, an entirely RATIONAL and UNDERSTANDABLE decision. Let's stop demonizing them.
[TASS] Drills to practice new methods of conducting combat operations were central to the Russian-Belarusian strategic exercise Zapad-2021, in which some new weapon systems, such as attack robots, were used for the first time, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Wednesday.
"Central to the exercise were new forms and methods of conducting combat operations with due regard for the special features of current local wars and armed conflicts. Many things were tested in practice," Shoigu said while reviewing the results of the exercise.
In part, he said that for the first time an airborne battalion of the newest BMD-4M combat vehicles was parachuted at night in bad weather.
"Twenty one Ilyushin-76MD military transport planes parachuted 30 combat vehicles of a new generation," Shoigu said.
"It allowed for creating a 3D image of virtual combat space, thus making it possible to more accurately study the situation and drastically reduce the time commanders need to make decision," Shoigu said.
For effective fire adjustment and also for meeting the needs of reconnaissance groups unmanned aerial vehicles were used on a wide scale.
"A system of putting out of order a swarm of a hypothetical enemy's attack drones at a distance was employed successfully," Shoigu said.
At proving grounds near Kaliningrad attack robotized systems Platforma-M were used for the first time.
"Remote-controlled tracked robots performed quite well in coping with the task of destroying enemy manpower in urban conditions. At the Mulino proving ground (the Nizhni Novgorod Region - TASS) reconnaissance and fire support robots Uran-9 and Nerekhta were used in the combat formations of combined arms units," Shoigu said.
"Military command and control bodies practiced operation in the field at five proving grounds in Belarus and nine proving grounds in Russia. The Baltic Fleet's forces were dealing with their combat training tasks in the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland," he added.
