Jail? This is going to end up like CHAZ but without the organization.
Don't watch the movie, it is an absolute trope of current movie industry typecasting, "plot twists", and latent racism, but the story for The First Purge looks to be spot on - Federal Government instigates violence by declaring an area police free and any crime up to and including murder will not be prosecuted. Leave now, or stay and the government will give you all the money you need to live.
The difference will be the when. Unlike the movie where there is a set date, this will be some singular event nobody knows about until its all going off.
[NYPOST] An off-duty city corrections officer smeared feces all over his Brooklyn tenant’s apartment — and then illegally evicted her less than two weeks later, cops said.
The officer, Nigel Escalona, was inside the apartment where a 52-year-old woman rents out a room from him on East 83rd Street near Avenue K in Canarsie around 9:40 p.m. March 4, police said.
When the tenant walked into the bedroom, Escalona ran out of the apartment, authorities said.
The victim found feces smeared all over the bedroom door and door handle — as well as on the doormats, doorknob and faucets in the bathroom, cops said.
Less than two weeks later, Escalona illegally evicted the woman, cops said.
The victim told police she went to work on Wednesday and returned Thursday to find that the locks were changed and Escalona did not issue an eviction notice, police said.
The victim found feces smeared all over the bedroom door and door handle, according to reports.

I suppose the cleverness of the thing depends on the difference between what the tenant was paying and going rates — New York City having that rent control thing going on — and whether the tenant was awful but difficult to evict without such creativity.
[NYPOST] Two people were caught on surveillance video rummaging through the pockets of a Philadelphia man who was dying on a sidewalk after being shot, police said.
The 38-year-old victim took three bullets to his chest after getting into a fight with a man in the city’s Hunting Park neighborhood Wednesday evening.
During the fight, a third man whipped out a rod from his waistband and shot the victim, Chief Inspector Scott Small told news hounds.
The two men involved in the shooting then fled in a dark Dodge Charger as the victim collapsed on the sidewalk.
Just moments later, a man and woman walking by could be seen on CCTV cameras rifling through the pockets of the gravely injured victim, Small said.

[NYPOST] Two people were killed and two others were maimed after a gunman opened fire aboard a Florida transit bus on Thursday afternoon, a report said.
Three other people inside a pair of cars were also injured after their vehicles were stuck by the bus as its quick-thinking driver turned into a nearby cop shoppe after the gunfire erupted, the Sun-Sentinel reported, citing authorities.
The Broward County Transit bus was traveling along West Broward Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale at about 2:30 p.m. when the mayhem unfolded.
Once the driver made it to the precinct, officers raced up to the bus and arrested the suspect as the commuters aboard fled for safety.
"The people came off the bus with their hands up, and the police just started running everywhere, coming from everywhere," witness Natasha McGee, 44, told the newspaper.

OH! that's right, elections are just around the corner, and if the past serves as a prediction.

[CBS] The Norwegian military said Friday that a U.S. military aircraft with four people on board crashed in the northern part of the country. The V-22 Osprey aircraft went down in bad weather in an area with rough terrain and narrow valleys, according to the Norwegian military.
The Marines confirmed "an incident has occurred involving a Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey aircraft," and that an investigation is underway.

The V-22 Ospreys have been involved in a number of deadly crashes in recent years. In 2017, three U.S. Marines were killed when a MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft crashed off the coast of Australia.
Should actually read.... 'plagued by deadly crashes since initial fielding.'
Ride on one of those SOB's? Only if unconscious or bound hand and foot, kicking and screaming. Seen'um at ME airbases years ago. Seldom used (except on clear days close to the FOB), for fear of crashes and bad PR.
Excuse was, "aircraft is unarmed...needs a defensive cannon system." Yea, THAT's the ticket, another weighty, vibrating complex on-board system.
System manager - 'Successful combat theater deployment ?'... CHECK !

I believe the White Houses uses a few for baggage hauling from Andrews, AFB. They may be assighed to the AV Det at Quantico. Don't believe any have landed on the White House lawn or hauled administration people. Can't imagine why.
[IsraelTimes] Don Young, a blunt-speaking Republican who was the longest-serving current member of Congress, has died. He was 88.
His office announces Young’s death in a statement.
"It’s with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce Congressman Don Young (R-AK), the Dean of the House and revered champion for Alaska, passed away today while traveling home to Alaska to be with the state and people that he loved. His beloved wife Anne was by his side," says the statement from Young’s congressional office.
A cause of death was not provided. Young’s office says details about plans for a celebration of Young’s life were expected in the coming days.
Young, who was first elected to the US House in 1973, was known for his brusque style. In his later years in office, his off-color comments and gaffes sometimes overshadowed his work. During his 2014 reelection bid, he described himself as intense and less-than-perfect but said he wouldn’t stop fighting for Alaska. Alaska has just one House member.
[Vdare] As white people from Russia wage war on white people in the Ukraine, and white people in both Europe and the United States care about the event unfolding—potentially plunging the world into another pointless world war—one black writer at CNN is mad we aren’t focusing our attention on Africa.
Moky Makura [Tweet her] is the executive director of Africa No Filter a group “working to shift stereotypical and harmful narratives within and about Africa through storytelling and community building.”
She wrote the piece below for CNN. It basically states: white people may be dying in the Ukraine, but what does this have to do with Africans?

Hate to tell ya Mookie, but not only did you just solidify them, you are giving credence to the wackos who think this whole thing really is just about starting a Euro/Russia nuclear exchange in order to kill 'The White People'.
Its been, what, seven days since the Influencer Call to this subject and this is all she brings?

Applying my basic rule for determining if its racist.
"Would it be RACIST Hate Speech, if Black was exchanged for White and does it focus on 1 Race or Color only and if White was used would they scream RACIST?"
IF, I got to ask the CNN-BLM Liberal Racist talking head one question if would be.
"What are the odds of a NUCLEAR war in Africa vs. the Russia Ukraine Europe situation?

No only do I not care disproportionately about Africa Moky, there are people aplenty there to care about their continent, I most certainly do not care about your mindless, racist, garbage utterings!
[Breitbart] Hollywood has put its wishful thinking on full display by casting Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) in a cameo role as the president of Earth in the season four finale of Star Trek: Discovery on Paramount+.
Stacey Abrams appears in the episode’s climactic scene as the president of United Earth, the borderless government that rules over the entire planet. In the episode, she declares Earth as part of the interplanetary Federation.
"United Earth is ready right now to rejoin the Federation, and nothing could make me happier than to say those words," Abram’s character said, according to a report from Deadline. "There’s a lot of work to do, are you ready for that?"
For The Globalization Worshipers To Chew On .
It won't be a peaceful transition, because there are too many Type A's in or wanting power.
It will require a massive global war.
Initially, it will be between the Big 5 nations and 3 main religions over a 20+ year duration.
Thus, to create a UNITED EARTH will likely result in about 1.7 to 2.5 Billion deaths, over a 3 to 4 generation duration. Plus a 20 to 25 year rebuilding period, after the main war ends. Then there will be guerillas engaged in warfare and terrorist attacks.
Why?
There are too many Putin's, Hitler's, Stalin's Che's Pol Pot's, Mao Tse-tung's and etc... always willing to step in and sacrifice millions of lives to be #1.
BTW: I quit watching the newer Star Trek stuff after it started weaving in more and more current Far Left and liberal and socialist narratives, disgusted as SciFi plots.

Saw one article say near Poland, this says near Romania. Both said something about a supply depot.
That is a long shot. Long enough to be detected and the site prepared for defense or/and evacuated even with a Mach 3 cruise missile.
This would cut reaction time; especially if deployed by an aircraft which just looked like it was doing normal stuff just a second ago. Cut your shot distance in half while tripling speed.
That is, of course, if any of this is to be believed, we know DM isn't above peddling agenda.

Russians are crushing Ukraine now, everywhere. South, north and west. Almost over. Looks like we got punked again by our garbage media with their lies about the heroic Ukrainian resistance
[Yahoo] The deputy chief of Russian’s National Guard was reportedly detained Thursday amid news that Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... is cracking down on disloyalty within his ranks following the invasion of Ukraine.
Russian Gen. Roman Gavrilov, of Rosgvardia, the internal military force of the Russian Federation that reports directly to the president of the Russian Federation, was detained by the Russian security and counterintelligence agency, Federal Security Service ... the successor to the KGB... (FSB), according to Christo Grozev, CEO of the Netherlands-based investigative journalism group Bellingcat.
The reason for Gavrilov's detention wasn’t immediately clear. Grozev said one of his sources told him that Gavrilov was detained by the FSB's military counter-intelligence department over "leaks of military info that led to loss of life," while two other sources said the reason was for "wasteful squandering of fuel."
Rosgvardia is a unit of the Russian Federation’s internal army that reportedly suffered heavy losses in Ukraine during the three weeks since the invasion began on Feb. 24.
Gavrilov previously worked for the Federal Protective Service (FSO) tasked with Putin’s security.
Russian state-run media reported on Thursday that Gavrilov had been fired.
In a message to Telegram, senior United Russia official Alexander Khinshtein said despite his dismissal, reports that Gavrilov had been arrested were "totally untrue."
This comes as Putin said in an address on Wednesday that his country will undergo a "self-purification" of "traitors" as Russian troops continue to bombard Ukrainian civilians and advance toward Kyiv.
After the speech, flight trackers purportedly detected a mass exodus of private jets flying out of Moscow and toward Dubai, suggesting that Russian oligarchs may have fled anticipating Putin’s crackdown.
At least 14,980 people have been detained across Russia since the war in Ukraine began on Feb. 24, according to OVD Info, an independent organization monitoring political persecutions.
The deployment of the Kinzhal to strike a Ukrainian target ,added to this and other Stalin-esque behaviors, suggests Putin is pulling out all the stops to get this over. It also signals to the West he is intransigent and determined, and increasingly provoked by Western support to Ukraine.
[LaprensaLatina] President Vladimir Putin on Friday praised the unity of the Russian people in the face of what he calls the “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Russia’s brutal war in Ukraine, which has led to thousands of military and civilian deaths and has caused more than three million refugees to flee, has been widely condemned by the international community.
Putin, who praised the heroism of Russian soldiers fighting in the war, which he said was being waged to prevent a “genocide” in Ukraine, was addressing a massive patriotic rally at the Luzhniki Olympic Stadium in Moscow, which hosted more than 200,000 people, according to local authorities.
“Saving people from this suffering, from this genocide, is the main and most important reason (…) for the military operation that we launched in the Donbas and in Ukraine,” he proclaimed.
Putin, who quoted the Bible to justify the Ukraine invasion, said the best expression of the unity of the Russian people is how their soldiers are fighting “shoulder to shoulder” in the neighboring country.
“We see how heroically our guys act and fight during this operation. It has been a long time since we enjoyed such unity,” he said.
Ukraine claims that Russia has suffered over 14,200 casualties since the invasion began on February 24.
“For a world without Nazism!”, “For the president!” and “For Russia!” were the slogans displayed onstage at the event which featured concerts by popular singers with close ties to the Kremlin.
Tens of thousands of people who could not access the stadium followed the concerts in the vicinity of the Luzhniki, which seats more than 80,000 spectators.
“Thanks to the guys who with weapons in their hands defend Russian citizens in the Donbas,” said Sergey Sobyanin, mayor of Moscow.
Sobyanin, one of the Kremlin’s closest aides, has rallied support for Putin, who launched the invasion.
“Half the world has united against us, but Russia is a strong country. Strong because of its citizens, because of its patriots,” he said.
Some of the presenters, singers and attendees wore the Z-shaped St. George’s ribbon, which has become a symbol of Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine.
Russians usually wear the ribbon on May 9, which marks the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
The event coincided with the eighth anniversary of the annexation of the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine.

🧵 This is the picture the Kremlin wants you to see: thousands of people who support President Putin and the "special military operation" in Ukraine, crammed into Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. We went there today and talked to dozens of people who attended... 🧵 pic.twitter.com/RGgWL2fSej

Got anymore FSB propaganda for today or is this it? My good sir, we have not yet begun to propagate!
Looking through a Russian Nationalist filter, Putin is standing up for Russia by fighting NATO, a long-time foe. It's not surprising that some people there like that.
Notice how the messaging from both sides is similar to what we saw with Tea Party/Trump rallies: Howling Mobs of Haters vs Patriots Who Love Their Nation

You got your Putin propaganda and you got your Biden propaganda. Where is the truth? I'm afraid the truth is we have two old men who are about to burn the whole world.

[DailyCaller] Florida Gunmaker KelTec Donates Hundreds Of Rifles To Help Fight The Russians.
A Florida gunmaker called KelTec is sending 400 semi-automatic rifles to Ukraine to arm resistance fighters after a longtime customer to the American company in the country has gone AWOL.
A Ukrainian client who typically buys guns from KelTec reportedly placed the order for the semi-automatic rifles, but the gunmaker cannot get in touch with the long-time client. KelTec decided that those guns from the MIA client’s order should be put to use and has sent the $200,000 worth of KelTec rifles to the Ukraine Ministry of Defense, according to the Associated Press.
The Ukrainian Ministry will be responsible for distributing the guns to resistance forces fighting for the country under siege by the Russian military, according to the AP.
“The American people want to do something… We enjoy our freedoms, we cherish those things. And when we see a group of people out there getting hammered like this, it’s heartbreaking,” KelTec Director and former U.S. Navy pilot Adrian Kellgren reported to the news outlet.
This gesture comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the Ukrainian people that anyone aged 16 to 60 cannot leave the country and that all who are able should take up arms.
[AsiaTimes] From Russia, will US expand economic war to China? New sanctions against China would leave Beijing less reason to forebear in strategic matters including Taiwan
Note: “Observer” columnist Chen Feng points to what he considers fundamental areas of weakness in the US position: The deindustrialization of the US economy, America’s dependence on debt, and an accelerating shift of US dollar trade settlement and reserves following the Russian sanctions. China exercises forbearance in strategic matters, including Taiwan, because of the mutual benefits of US-China trade; if the United States applies new sanctions to China, it will have less reason to do so.

"Saudi Arabia and China may not shift oil transactions to the yuan all of a sudden. There is no need for this. China’s large reserve of dollars can’t be left to get moldy in its hands. They have to flow to be of value. But the yuan is gradually becoming the settlement currency of international trade, which has more significance than 1,000 nuclear bombs. This is a huge event.
The massive shift of Russian oil to China due to the European and US embargoes, coupled with Saudi Arabia’s switch to RMB settlement, may force more and more countries exporting oil to China to switch to RMB settlement. The situation brings to mind the old saying, “I don’t have to run faster than the bear – I just have to run faster than the next fellow.”
#4
As others have pointed out, the yuan is not yet ready to displace the dollar as the international currency. But we are seeing death by a thousand cuts: Saudi taking yuan, India paying Russia in rupees/rubles, etc. Eventually the dollar will wither away to irrelevance, and international payments will be as chaotic as international tax is not. Every man for himself.

Russia has an excellent opportunity to move to the gold standard. They have 74 million troy oz. in gold reserves which are worth (@$1,922/oz. spot price) $142 billion. Even with the ruble's fall, the Russian Central Bank has more than adequate coverage for a monetary base of about $150 billion. Russia has very little reliance on global capital inflows, so Russia can shift to a gold ruble fairly easily.
If Russia moves to a gold ruble, the ruble will rise relative to the US dollar, which will fall relative to the value of gold.
Also, Russia would then be free of the volatility that comes from floating-rate currency pricing. A gold-backed ruble would allow China and India and other major trading partners to increase trade with Russia, which would be another source of strength for the ruble and stable growth for the Russian economy.
[ChinaMission] Spokesperson of the Chinese Mission to the EU Speaks on a Question Concerning NATO Leader’s Remarks on China.
Q: According to reports, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said yesterday that any support to Russia, military support or any other type of support, would actually help Russia conduct a brutal war against an independent sovereign nation, Ukraine, and help them to continue to wage war which is causing death, suffering and an enormous amount of destruction. He also claimed that China has an obligation as a member of the UN Security Council to actually support and uphold international law and join the rest of the world condemning Russia’s invasion. What is your comment?
A: We have taken note of relevant remarks. Chinese people can fully relate to the pains and sufferings of other countries because we will never forget who had bombed our embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. We need no lecture on justice from the abuser of international law. As a Cold War remnant and the world’s largest military alliance, NATO continues to expand its geographical scope and range of operations. What kind of role it has played in world peace and stability? NATO needs to have good reflection.
So you're claiming it's "WE" and you're an american, although to me not a very impressive one.

The virus contains a sequence of DNA that was patented by Moderna 3 years before the pandemic began. Moderna CEO can't explain why. Genetic sequencing is more accurate than fingerprints. Such gene sequences are good enough to get criminal convictions. This is guilty evidence beyond any reasonable doubt.
It's beyond obvious Fauci et al were doing incredibly dangerous bio-weapons research in other countries since it was illegal in America.
Watch the Moderna CEO stammer when confronted with the evidence.

Well, I mentioned the treasonous quislings China used against us. They would be negligent to not have another half-truth lined up so they could pretend they're fighting the quislings they installed when they help Russia murder women and children in Mariupol from the air.

The Chinese and Russians definitely remember how we bombed the shit out of Serbia. On behalf of the "Kosovo Liberation Army", a Muslim terrorist outfit.
[ZH] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has removed tens of thousands of deaths linked to COVID-19, including nearly a quarter of deaths it had listed in those under 18 years old.
The health agency quietly made the change on its data tracker website on March 15.
"Data on deaths were adjusted after resolving a coding logic error. This resulted in decreased death counts across all demographic categories," the CDC says on the site.
The CDC relies on states and other jurisdictions to report COVID-19 deaths and acknowledges on its website that the data is not complete.
But the statistics are often cited by doctors and others when pushing for COVID-19 vaccination, including figures who believe virtually all children should be vaccinated. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, cited the tracker’s death total in November 2021 while pushing for an expert panel to advise her agency to recommend vaccination for all children 5- to 11-years-old.
Before the change, the CDC listed 1,755 children as dying from COVID-19 along with approximately 851,000 others, according to Kelley Krohnert, a Georgia resident who has been tracking the updates.
The update saw the CDC cut 416 deaths among children and over 71,000 elsewhere, arriving at a total of just under 780,000.
The agency declined to provide a comment by deadline.
The CDC previously adjusted its death count in August 2021 "after the identification of a data discrepancy."

All of this and the many other lies will be remembered when the next Pandemic hits.
Thus any real data and actual working solutions will be suspect on even a greater level causing even greater deaths.

At the end of the day, individual health is something that the individual has to look after individually. Collective approaches will always come up short. But collectivists gotta collectivize.

I wonder what they suddenly need to cover up regarding these deaths.

I couldn't access the data linked by Zerohedge, so I went here:
https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-Focus-on-Ages-0-18-Yea/nr4s-juj3
and found that in the 18 and under demographic, 1,078 have died of COVID from 1/4/2020 to 3/12/2022. Doing simple math on Zero's reported figures, 1,339 in that same demographic have died of COVID.

Yup. And trainable enough for Donkey Baseball and Donkey Basketball. Saw a basketball game, the donkeys each had a little quirk which would be performed when the MCs called the command, usually at a fun-embarrassing time.
Subtitled "this data is still badly wrong, but i have some real concerns about who we are allowing to "fix" it and how unsupervised they will be as they do so."
[BORIQUAGATO] of all the insanity around covid that took what would literally have been a baddish flu year would have passed with little comment or historical import and turned it into a mass hallucination of apocalypse, defining "covid death" as a death not "from covid as a proximate cause" but rather as "death from any cause if you had had a positive PCR test for covid in the previous 28-30 days" carries a special pride of place.
many of us stood up and screamed about this right from the beginning.
it made zero sense. nothing else is counted this way (for a reason) and the confluence of doing so with the staggeringly unprecedented mass testing of healthy people with overclocked PCR tests run at a 40 or higher Ct that was so over-amplified that it lacked any clinical relevance whatsoever and was probably kicking out 70-90% rates of non-clinical positivity was madness.
once this disastrous definition was put in place, apocalypse was assured. Combine the high false positive rate with remdesivir, which causes kidney failure in 25% of patients, and then you get to the problem I want to see more details on.
the same people who overstated this situation so aggressively are going to be the ones "fixing" the data to make sure it’s correct.
the same people who pushed and mandated draconian responses that have failed so spectacularly are going to be the ones "adjusting" the data that allows us to assess those outcomes.
we’re already caught them lying who knows how many times.
it is not a conspiracy theory to expect them to lie again.
it is a conspiracy theory to claim they’ll be honest this time. "We found 5 possible deaths."
"Hokay...round it off at 50,000"

I have read quite a few laboratory-issued COVID PCR test reports over the past 2 years. None has mentioned the "Ct". Forget about asking the lab for that value...

Eventually, death sentence for those who endanger all society by refusing the vaccine. (I wish I was confident I was being sarcastic...)

The vaccines have proven to be as effective as placebos with respect to the virus. People like Fauci say that they reduce the intensity of the effects of the virus but they always site “the science” never studies. I will continue to endanger society until the Wuhan Lab can enhance a strain strong enough to kill me, as Super Hose is a CMV negative blood donor to preemies that don’t need clotting issues or other unhelpful side-effects that they hoped to hide for 75 years.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
