Authored by Simon Black via SovereignMan.com, Are you ready for this week’s absurdity?  Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice. Governors proclaim chicken wings are not a meal The pandemic has made Governors so power hungry that they are now telling restaurants what counts as a meal. States like California and New York are forcing restaurants and bars to only serve alcohol with meals. That prompted some establishments to add special menu items so that patrons who just wanted a drink didn’t have to order an entire meal. But now that tactic has caught the eye of Comrade-Governors Newsom and Cuomo. They have decided that not only is it within their power to tell restaurants if they are allowed to serve drinks and food, but these Governors also claim the power to dictate what counts as a meal. The dictator of California...

The masks are not for your good, and they never were. Mac Slavo |  SHTFPlan.com  -  JULY 31, 2020   IMAGE CREDITS:  MARILYN NIEVES / GETTY IMAGES . This is nothing new, but for some strange reason, the political puppets need you all to wear a mask. Jim Murren, the head of Nevada’s coronavirus task force says it is “not your right to not wear a mask.” This lacks logic on all fronts. It’s still difficult to figure out why they are so desperate to get as many people as possible in face masks unless this isn’t about logic at all, but control. Murren, who heads the Nevada COVID-19 Response, Relief, and Recovery Task Force,  made the comments at the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance’s Las Vegas Perspective event on Tuesday . It surprising that people aren’t just returning to their lives and ignoring these tyrants. Just how much enslavement will it take to get Americans to wake up? The masks are not for your good, and they never were. Just listen t...

“There is no proven effectiveness” Steve Watson | Infowars.com -  JULY 31, 2020   IMAGE CREDITS:  MIKE JUWEN / FLICKR / CREATIVE COMMONS . The Netherlands has decided not to mandate the wearing of face masks in public, citing the fact that there is no scientific evidence to suggest they are effective against the spread of the coronavirus. “From a medical perspective there is no proven effectiveness of masks, the Cabinet has decided that there will be no national obligation for wearing non-medical masks”  announced Netherlands Minister for Medical Care Tamara van Ark. The country’s National Institute for Health (RIVM) noted that it is aware of studies from other countries that purport to show masks slow the spread of disease, but will not be heeding them.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison suggests they talk to a “somebody who is trained in helping” instead National File  -  JULY 31, 2020   IMAGE CREDITS:  SCREENSHOT . Minnesota Attorney General and former vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Keith Ellison suggested that women who are victims of sexual assault should contact a therapist instead of calling the police on their assailant. The Federalist reports that Ellison made the remarks during a Zoom discussion with Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), one of the prospective Democratic vice-presidential candidates. “If you’re a woman who’s been a victim of a sexual assault, and the assailant ran away, wouldn’t you rather talk to somebody who is trained in helping you deal with what you’re dealing with, as opposed to somebody whose main training is that they know how to use a firearm? Right?” Ellison told Bass. Ellison has previously himself been involved in a violent altercation with A...

Physical abuse and discrimination rampant Kelen McBreen  | Infowars.com -  JULY 29, 2020   An ESPN investigation has discovered complaints by NBA employees of human rights concerns regarding an NBA youth-development program in China.

‘If you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it’ Infowars.com -  JULY 29, 2020   IMAGE CREDITS:  CHUNG SUNG-JUN | GETTY . During an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, Dr. Fauci advised Americans to wear “eye protection” such as goggles or eye shields to protect themselves from COVID-19. “If you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it,” Fauci said. “It’s not universally recommended, but if you really want to be complete, you should probably use it if you can.” Read more

Progressive critics of the Trump Administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic like to point to Sweden and portray the Nordic country's decision to forego lockdowns as a travesty motivated by greed. Such reductive, black-and-white interpretations are inevitably the result of a childlike analysis where every hero needs to have a hero and a villain. But although Sweden's COVID-19 czar has admitted that he would have changed certain elements of the country's response if he could go back in time,  the country's decision to skip lockdowns, and keep the country relatively open, has paid off - even if Sweden does have a significantly higher mortality rate than its neighbors (though still lower than all of the worst-hit western European countries). Sweden's death-to-infection ratio is relatively high, a reflection of a series of early outbreaks in managed-care homes that led to widespread fatalities among their elderly and vulnerable residents.

Authored by Russ Bangs via Off-Guardian.org, "It has frequently been observed that  terror can rule absolutely only over people who are isolated against each other  and that therefore one of the primary concerns of tyrannical government is to  bring this isolation about.  Isolation may be the beginning of terror; it certainly is its most fertile ground; it always is its result. This isolation is, as it were, pretotalitarian; its hallmark is impotence insofar as power always comes from people acting together, acting in concert; isolated people are powerless by definition.” - Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism Western civilization, led by the US government and media, has embarked upon  a campaign of mass psychological terrorism  designed to cover for the collapsing economy, set up a new pretext for Wall Street’s ongoing plunder expedition, radically escalate the police state, deeply traumatize people into submission to total social conform...
