By: Andre Vltchek for VT Let us start with the punchline: “Mass media in the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia is depicting the People’s Republic of China as ‘capitalist’ because ‘capitalist’ is now a dirty word. Even people in the West see ‘market economy’ as some sort of filth.” To call China ‘capitalist’ is to smear China. It is as if to say: “Chinese people are precisely like us. China is doing to the world the same injustice, committing the same crimes as we have been doing for 500+ years.” Western, but particularly the British and the U.S. demagogy, […]

Many brands have recently reconsidered their name and actions in light of anti-racist protests rocking the US and some European countries.

One of the top American football teams, the Washington Redskins, has announced that it will carry out a “thorough review” of the team’s name in a bid to rid itself of its derogatory perception, but while preserving the team’s heritage. “This process allows the team […]

Unidentified attackers exploited a Ravencoin vulnerability to mint extra RVN “beyond the coinbase of 5000 RVN per block,” Ravencoin lead developer Tron Black wrote in a Medium post on Thursday. According to Black, members of Ravencoin’s CryptoScope team, who developed Solus Explorer, reached out to the Ravencoin developer team recently with their findings. The vulnerability was caused by a community code submission. “Law enforcement has been notified and is working with us,” Black said.

As is their wont, each faction described the growth of WBTC tokens, whose value is pegged one-to-one against a locked-up reserve of actual bitcoin, as proof of their coin’s superiority over the other.

Yesterday we noted that one of the Hong Kong pro-independence movement’s most visible young activists, Nathan Law, fled Hong Kong for an undisclosed outside country on fears of how the new national security law could be applied retroactively, especially given his and his close associate Joshua Wong’s public relationship with and backing by the US embassy and American Congressional leaders. There is also the looming question of just what the law will look like applied in action. Recall that the law which went into effect Wednesday harshly cracks down on dissent and fomenting unrest with possible maximum life jail sentences for some crimes, largely dependent on the […]

Yet Borglum’s own sordid story shows that this […]

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) issued a statement last night, confirming that they had sent a brief of evidence to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions […]
The debate over The Little Mermaid plot and the story’s key figure started last year after Disney tapped an African-American actress for the main role in a new remake, but now it has apparently received a new twist in the wake of the sweeping BLM protests. One of Copenhagen’s main landmarks, the statue of Hans Christian Andersen’s the Little Mermaid, has been vandalised, with citizens waking up on Friday to see two words – “racist fish” – written on its stone base in the Scandinavian city’s harbour. “We consider it vandalism and have started an investigation”, a Copenhagen police spokesman said […]
There’s horror in old age—the sort no one wants to think about, or look at, or discuss. It’s in that uncomfortable truth that Relic locates its greatest terror and, in doing so, delivers deep, gnawing dread that lingers long after its credits have rolled. The feature debut of Japanese-Australian filmmaker Natalie Erika James, who co-wrote the script with Christian White, Relic (premiering at drive-in theaters on July 3, and on VOD July 10) concerns three generations of women in an Australian family who are brought together by a puzzling crisis. Matriarch Edna (Robyn Nevin) has gone missing from her long-time rural […]

Roger Stone is going to prison after a kangaroo court overseen by Judge Amy Berman Jackson convicted him of bogus crimes in a criminal case that was a fraud (the Trump – Russia collusion case). Not surprisingly the Mueller gang asked for Judge Jackson to oversee his case. The corrupt Muller gang knew that President Trump had no connections to Russia when they joined the Mueller Special Counsel. These gangsters wanted to see President Trump attempt to obstruct the fraudulent investigation in order to have him removed from office. Fortunately for America, President Trump never committed any crimes and AG Barr […]
No other country, apart from the US, supports Israel’s annexation plan for occupied Palestinian territories in the West Bank, Anadolu Agency reports. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to “annex” the illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, based on the so-called Middle East peace plan announced by US President Donald Trump in January. Territories Netanyahu plans to annex constitute about 30% of the West Bank. Netanyahu’s annexation plan, aimed to be launched on July 1, collapsed due to objection of the coalition partner and Defense Minister Benny Gantz to the way of implementation, as well as due to […]
Mike Gundy, the Oklahoma State football coach who faced a strong backlash last month after being spotted wearing an OAN shirt, has greed to accept a $1 million pay cut and a one-year reduction in contract length. “The changes were offered up by Mike Gundy, and I commend him for that. It was his idea to take a million-dollar pay cut,” Oklahoma State Athletic Director Mike Holder said on Friday. “I think it really demonstrates his commitment to being a better coach. He wanted to make a statement that assured all the players that this wasn’t just about talk, this is […]
Republicans looking to carry President Trump’s ‘America First’ momentum into the post-Trump era are excitedly eyeing Fox News host Tucker Carlson for a 2024 run. According to Politico, “Republican strategists, conservative commentators, and former Trump campaign and administration officials are buzzing about Carlson as the next-generation leader of Donald Trump’s movement — with many believing he would be an immediate frontrunner in a Republican primary.” Sixteen prominent Republicans interviewed by POLITICO said there’s an emerging consensus in the GOP that the 51-year-old Carlson would be formidable if he were to run. Some strategists aligned with other potential candidates are convinced he […]
It’s the most famous Flat race in the world, but this year, Saturday’s Epsom Derby, due off at 4.55 pm, will be arguably the most unusual in its 240-year history, as it will be run ‘behind closed doors.’ The question is: who will win? A Derby run in July (after Royal Ascot) and with no spectators. Sounds utterly far-fetched doesn’t it, but isn’t everything that has happened so far in 2020 stranger than fiction? Although we can’t go to Epsom to watch the race- even the famous Downs have been cordoned off-, we can still follow the proceedings on tv and […]
Two male staff members of the UN peacekeeping operation in the Middle East have been placed on leave after an initial inquiry found they had engaged in sexual misconduct, a U.N. spokesman said, Reuters reports. The United Nations’ internal investigations office launched the inquiry after a video circulated on social media appearing to show a woman straddling a man in the back seat of a UN-marked vehicle as it was driven down a coastal boulevard in Tel Aviv. “Two male international staff members who were in the UN vehicle in Tel Aviv have been identified as having engaged in misconduct, including conduct […]
Ariel Ruiz Urquiola, a Cuban biologist and human rights activist, failed to complete a 90-second statement before the U.N. Human Rights Council on Friday after member states Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, and China interrupted him for nearly 13 minutes. Urquiola, imprisoned in 2018 for “disrespect” to the regime after publishing academic evidence of the extensive environmental damage the communist regime has caused the tropical island, earned his speaking spot at the Human Rights Council by spending nearly a week on hunger strike before the agency’s headquarters in Geneva. When given the floor, however, the Human Rights Council allowed rogue states to […]
A “concept incubator” envisages a dystopian future where babies are grown inside sophisticated electronic pods which completely replace the womb and pregnancy. The promotional video for the baby pod stresses how parents will be able to focus on other things like work while the pod baby is taken care of by the machine. “Parents would be able to live their lives normally,” states the promo, as if having a baby naturally is abnormal. “It has a dock to insert food,” states the promo as a woman is shown pouring green gunk into a canister. There’s also a “microphone” attached so people […]
After three months of unprecedented gains, which saw an increase of $3 trillion to $7.2 trillion, the Fed’s balance sheet has posted its third consecutive weekly decline since the start of the corona crisis according to the latest H.4.1 statement. The drop in the week ended July 1 amounted to $73.2 billion, and was just shy of the decline recorded two week prior, which was the biggest weekly drop since May 2009. However, as has been the case in the past three weeks, the drop in the balance sheet was not due to a reversal or even slowdown in QE which […]

This adds to the growing proof of the Trump led isolation of the US in response to is Unipolar jihad has blown up in his face. And I am not using that term to hype the issue. The US is at its lowest point in terms of being respected, not because of anything the American people did other than not be able to control a gangster regime being installed to […]
Twitter’s engineering team will systematically purge a list of offensive terms from its source code and internal documents in the name of political correctness. Terms like “master” and “slave” will go, as will gendered pronouns. “We’re starting with a set of words we want to move away from using in favor of more inclusive language,” Twitter Engineering announced on Wednesday. Among the terms to be terminated are “whitelist” and “blacklist,” “master” and “slave,” which will be replaced with “allowlist” and “denylist,” and “leader” and “follower” respectively. Gendered pronouns like “guys” will be swapped with gender-neutral terms like “folks” and “y’all,” while […]

EFE. On May 14, the Central Bank of Venezuela sued the Bank of England to obtain its gold bars. The United Kingdom’s High Court Thursday decided that opposition lawmaker Juan Guaido can access 31 tons of Venezuelan gold held in the Bank of England, which prevents President Nicolas Maduro’s administration from using those resources to fight the pandemic. The ruling about this monetary reserve valued at over US $ 1 […]
In mid-June, President Donald Trump announced the signing of an executive order that will oversee the introduction of a police reform bill, a move that came a few weeks after the death of African-American man George Floyd at the hands of a white policeman in Minneapolis. With more than 90 percent of Americans reportedly supporting police reform in the country, Democrats and Republicans remain at loggerheads over the issue amid the ongoing George Floyd protests. Here’s a deeper insight into the problem. Democratic Party’s Police Reform Bill In late June, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, proposed by US […]
If the sky is the limit, as the saying goes, a striking performance this weekend will harness those lofty ambitions quite literally. “In Plain Sight” is a complex and politically-charged nationwide choreography that involves skytyping powerful phrases, selected by 80 artists and activists, across the United States. With a sense of irony and provocation, the performance is timed with Independence Day weekend on July 3rd and 4th. These dictums and calls-to-action will pointedly hover above American venues loaded with a poisonous history or deeply problematic present: immigrant detention centers, sites of former internment camps, borders, and incarceration facilities. Three fleets of […]

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers praised stablecoins, but said he would be surprised if a global digital currency became a reality in his lifetime. During a special episode of Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire’s podcast, “The Money Movement” last week, Summers said he foresees more innovation in the blockchain space but a global digital currency is still at a nascent stage. The comments came as part of a broader discussion on the current state of the global economy, the future of a global digital currency and the role of stablecoins in cross-border transactions. “I’m sure there’ll be a variety […]
Black Lives Matter and Antifa cohorts riot and torch historic church in Washington DC. Leftists torched the historic St. John’s Church, vandalized the WWII monument, vandalized the Korean War monument, vandalized the Lincoln Memorial, attacked police and national guard members with rocks, bottles and fireworks. General Mark Milley confirmed this week that National Guard troops sent to Washington DC to protect America’s historical monuments during violent riots last month. It is not clear which national guard troops he was talking about. Last month General Milley famously told reporters he never should have walked with President Trump to the ruins of St. […]
Two Israeli defence contractors and a United Arab Emirates (UAE) company will partner to research and develop technology to tackle the coronavirus pandemic. Executives from each company, Group 42 (G42), an Abu Dhabi-based technology company, took part in a signing ceremony held yesterday with Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense, which manufactures weapons for Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). The agreement comes after a senior UAE official last month said the countries could possibly cooperate in the fight against COVID-19 technology and health security throughout the region. IAI confirmed the deal in a statement, saying: “Israel Aerospace Industries signed a historic cooperation agreement with […]

In massive new fallout two days after China’s new Hong Kong national security law went into effect, Canada announced Friday it will suspend its extradition treaty with Hong Kong. This effectively opens the door for Hong Kong democracy activists, who might potentially find themselves “wanted” by pro-Beijing authorities and accused of crimes, to seek out Canada as a safe-haven. No longer will Canada agree to extradite ‘criminals’ back to Hong Kong. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, via Reuters. As we’ve noted, this week the exodus of young anti-Beijing activists has already begun over fears they could be charged on “terrorism and […]
NASA requested that the smell of space be developed decades ago in order to help astronauts become accustomed to the very peculiar odour. One company has now decided to recreate the smell, and if the perfume is successful, it will create another space-themed fragrance. Good news for those who have always dreamt of going into space, but can’t wait for trips to become as affordable as flights on airplanes – a company on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter claims to have developed a perfume that smells like outer space.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has condemned Black Lives Matter activists for bullying police officers into ‘taking the knee’. Referencing early Black Lives Matter protests in London, Prime Minister Johnson remarked: “If you think of what happened with those police officers standing at the Cenotaph where they were being insulted in really quite aggressive terms by some members of the crowd and told to take the knee. “Some of them did. It was very difficult, then, for others who didn’t. I think it’s very important that you don’t do things that make life difficult or embarrassing.” “I don’t want people to be […]
Students enrolling in the University of Tennessee’s fall semester will have to agree to receive the controversial COVID-19 vaccine in order to attend classes in person. Last Friday, the university’s board of trustees unanimously passed a rule requiring immunizations for all staff, students, and faculty as they become available. “For example, the flu shot might not be available until later in the fall, at which point students would have to get it,” explains KNOX News. “Students will also ‘self-test’ daily through an app, where they answer a questionnaire about any symptoms related to COVID-19,” reports KNOX, and masks will be required […]
U.S. vehicle sales for major manufacturers like Toyota, General Motors and Fiat were all slaughtered in the second quarter of 2020 as the U.S. deals with the brunt of the economic impact from Covid-19 – while already in the midst of an auto recession that we had written extensively about heading into 2020. Sales for all three of those manufacturers were down more than 30% in the second quarter, mostly in-line with Wall Street’s predictions. Nissan, Hyundai and Porsche also suffered major drops in sales between April and June, according to CNBC. Edmunds had predicted a 34% drop in sales for […]

Copenhagen’s ‘Little Mermaid’ statue has yet again been vandalized, now with the words “racist fish” sprayed on its base. The fairy tale character’s cancellation comes in spite of Disney casting a black actress for the movie role. Denmark’s capital saw the dubious description written on the landmark on Friday. So far, no one has claimed responsibility for defacing the statue of the Hans Christian Andersen character. “We consider it vandalism and have started an investigation,” a Copenhagen police spokesperson said. For dozens of years, local protesters have been taking out their political issues on the tourists’ favorite Little Mermaid statue, from […]
(Natural News) In many parts of the Northern Hemisphere the hysteria surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic seems to have abated. Summer is in full swing, the economy is starting to breathe again, and in many ways, things feel almost normal. Experts warn, however, that a second – potentially more lethal – wave of the coronavirus may be looming on the horizon, and the recent outbreak in China proves that we should not be too quick to lower our guard. Studies have revealed one or two promising treatments in the war against the novel coronavirus, including dexamethasone, a commonly available drug which one […]

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – After several French courts refused to reopen the long-term investigation into the 1994 Rwandan presidential plane downing and the following genocide in the Eastern African country, Rwandan Justice Minister Busingye Johnston said on Friday that the French probe into the case was a “complete farce.” “The Court of Appeal of Paris has dismissed the ‘Bruguiere Case,’ on appeal. The first instance court also dismissed it. This so-called Bruguire Case has been a travesty of justice, a total and complete farce that should not have happened in the first place,” Johnston wrote on Twitter. The Court of Appeal of […]

Investors’ search for yield has pushed a widely tracked ether options market metric to its highest level in 12 months.

A put option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to sell the underlying asset at a predetermined price on or before a specific date. Meanwhile, a call option represents a right to buy.

The US has warned the Libyan National Army (LNA) that its affiliation with a Russian paramilitary force and perpetuation of the oil shutdown contradict the interests of Washington and Libya, Anadolu Agency reports. “The US delegation emphasized that the LNA’s affiliation with the Wagner group, a Russian Ministry of Defense proxy, and perpetuation of the oil shutdown are at odds with US and Libyan interests, undermine Libyan sovereignty, and increase the risk of conflict that could damage critical oil infrastructure,” State Department said Thursday in a statement.
