(Natural News) Based on the latest data from Johns Hopkins University, the global caseload for COVID-19 is now over 24 million, with around 824,000 deaths – and six reinfections. After health officials in Hong Kong reported the world’s first coronavirus reinfection on Monday, similar reports have emerged from around the world. The Netherlands is the latest country to confirm reinfections, as the country’s National Institute for Public Health and the Environment reported at least four reinfections Wednesday. Belgium also reported a confirmed case late Monday, just after Hong Kong’s announcement. Taken together, this brings the total number of reinfections to six worldwide. Dutch reinfections are all mild, […]

The Day After Election Day By Rob Urie, Counterpunch. August 31, 2020 The Day After Election Day2020-08-312020-08-31https://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2017/12/popres-shorter.pngPopularResistance.Orghttps://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2018/12/democracy-i-want-real-democracy-not-two-wall-st-parties-e1546300897640.jpg200px200px The view passed down from on high in the U.S. is that elections are the effective and legitimate means of collective decision-making in the realm of the political. Conversely, on matters of war and peace, economic distribution, environmental wellbeing, healthcare, education, housing, and social welfare— the areas where collective outcomes matter, these are either considered ‘economic’ in nature or elected representatives defer to markets, grant decision-making power to corporate pleaders, or act with unanimity across alleged ideological differences. In other words, the liberal conception of […]

The filing was the latest development in the House’s winding quest to access Trump’s financial documents from his accounting firm, Mazars USA. Democrats have said they need them as part of potential legislation to reform financial disclosures and curb corruption. Trump’s decision to maintain ties to his businesses — and evidence provided by his former attorney Michael Cohen that Trump routinely inflated his assets to obtain loans — created a unique situation that required potential legislative efforts, the lawmakers argued. But Trump sued to block Mazars from releasing his documents, setting in motion a series of legal battles that landed in […]
Ex-President Barack Obama involved himself in the deliberations of the NBA players who led last week’s boycott over the Jacob Blake shooting, according to reports. Obama presided over the conference call when a group of players, including LeBron James and Oklahoma Thunder player Chris Paul, hashed out their demands and statements ahead of last Wednesday’s walkouts. Paul reportedly reached out to Obama — who has been known to counsel many players who dabble in social justice causes –and asked him for advice on proceeding with the boycott idea. The boycott ended after a single day once the wealthier players had it […]
A new tax on millionaires, a 22.5% gas tax hike (bringing the total increase to 250% in 4 years), and now a tax on high frequency trades: it is becoming obvious to most – except perhaps the state’s democratic leadership – that New Jersey is now actively trying to drive out its tax-paying population and top businesses with a series of draconian measures to balance its deeply underwater budget, instead of slashing spending. The state-imposed limitations on commerce, mobility and socialization due to the covid pandemic have also not helped. And in case it is still unclear, the trend of New […]
A recent analysis by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 94% of American patients who have died from COVID-19 had other underlying health conditions. According to the data released on August 26, only 9,683 deaths (6%) had COVID-19 listed as the only cause, which means that 94% of Americans who died after contracting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, had other contributing medical conditions. The CDC based its analysis on provisional death counts, which it said “deliver the most complete and accurate picture of lives lost to COVID-19. The counts are based on death certificates, “which […]
President Donald Trump jumped to the defense Monday of the Midwestern teenager who has been charged with the murder of two protesters following the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. “We’re looking at all of it,” Trump said during a press conference Monday when asked by a reporter if he would “condemn the actions of vigilantes like Kyle Rittenhouse.” “That was an interesting situation,” Trump said. “You saw the same tape as I saw and he was trying to get away from them, I guess, looks like. And he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it […]

WASHINGTON — The Space Development Agency has selected Lockheed Martin and York Space Systems to build the satellites for the first tranche of its transport layer–an on-orbit mesh network that is key to the Pentagon’s plans to connect on orbit sensors with terrestrial shooters–the agency announced Aug. 31. Each company will build 10 satellites for SDA, though at vastly different prices. While York Space Systems will receive $94 million to build its 10 satellites, Lockheed Martin will receive $188 million to do the same thing. According to SDA Director Dereck Tournear, that stark difference reflects the agency’s firm-fixed-price contract approach to […]
A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder is pioneering a new solution to the problem of spring cleaning on the moon: Why not zap away the grime using a beam of electrons? The research, published recently in the journal Acta Astronautica, marks the latest to explore a persistent, and perhaps surprising, hiccup in humanity’s dreams of colonizing the moon: dust. Astronauts walking or driving over the lunar surface kick up huge quantities of this fine material, also called regolith. “It’s really annoying,” said Xu Wang, a research associate in the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at CU […]

Introduction: We received a new video on the death of Dr. David Kelly today. So I went into VT archives (www.veteranstodayarchives.com) and brought out a piece on assassinations, one of many. The key term is “Boston Brakes.” This is when an accident is staged, and the cleanup and often the real killing is done by special “first responders.” They tried this with my good friend and highly “softened” truthtelling Jeff Rense, but also with so many others. Some of that is below, a necessary read, and we hope a good review for those who had forgotten the reality of the world […]
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given approval for Amazon to operate its Prime Air delivery drones, an idea billionaire owner Jeff Bezos first introduced in 2013. The approval means the drones can be operated “beyond the visual line of sight” by operators. Amazon says it will soon begin testing the delivery technology, which is supposed to cut wait times for orders from days to hours and eventually minutes. The company also plans on eventually introducing the delivery practice across the globe. “This certification is an important step forward for Prime Air and indicates the FAA’s confidence in Amazon’s operating and […]
(Natural News) Most of the conservative, independent media community is publishing “bombshell” headlines over the CDC releasing “death counts” data that show 94% of COVID-19 deaths occurred among people who have comorbidity factors. See CDC source data here. This, according to many conservative and independent media outlets, is proof that the coronavirus really hasn’t killed very many people at all. A typical headline comes from InfoWars, claiming, “CDC Admits Only 9,000 Have Died From COVID Alone.” The headline isn’t technically inaccurate, but it’s the InfoWars equivalent of CNN claiming, “Fiery but mostly peaceful protests took place.” In other words, it avoids […]

Joe Biden defended his stance on the recent wave of social unrest that has swept across America’s cities on Monday, telling supporters he was neither a “radical socialist” nor had a “soft spot for rioters.” The former vice president, who over the weekend pledged not to use the National Guard as a political “prop,” delivered a speech in western Pennsylvania addressing the protests and riots that have sprung up since Jacob Blake’s shooting by police.

Real Vision managing editor Ed Harrison explores this and more with senior editor Ash Bennington. Ed and Ash discuss the ever-widening chasm between Wall Street and Main Street and use Hyman Minsky’s “two-price model” as a framework to understand this dichotomy, and they analyze how asset markets have responded differently to interest rate cuts than the markets for goods and services.

Robin Williams’ self-inflicted death on Aug. 11, 2014, at the age of 63 shocked the world, not only because few knew that the acclaimed actor had been suffering in any way, but because despite his history of substance-abuse problems, his effusive, uninhibited, hyperactive spirit was so joyous and infectious that it simply didn’t gibe with suicide. With no concrete explanation for why he’d taken his own life, the media filled in the gaps with wild speculation about depression, drugs, and financial woes. None of those guesses, however, did anything to alleviate the sheer mystery of it all. It was simply incomprehensible—to […]

(Natural News) It’s now apparent that political pressure dictates public health policy; and if the Democrats had their way, they would use coronavirus “cases” to dictate public perception of their political opposition indefinitely and use the fear of a virus as a weapon to control people’s lives into the unforeseeable future. This is why, to democrats, tallying and broadcasting statistically irrelevant coronavirus “cases” is more important than understanding viral load and immune system function, which are the most important aspects of controlling spread and ensuring healthy recovery from infections.

Sweden has finally seen coronavirus cases and deaths dwindle to almost nothing without any mandatory lockdowns or school closures.

Despite this, Sweden’s leading coronavirus expert Anders Tegnell has said the country has yet to achieve ‘herd immunity’ – a level of infection where […]

President Donald Trump reacted to former Vice President Joe Biden’s speech in Pennsylvania on Monday blaming him and his supporters for the violent riots in America’s major cities. Trump claimed Biden spent more time criticizing the police than the actual rioters. “Just watched what Biden had to say,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “To me, he’s blaming the Police far more than he’s blaming the Rioters, Anarchists, Agitators, and Looters, which he could never blame or he would lose the Radical Left Bernie supports!” Just watched what Biden had to say.

WASHINGTON — The first satellite in Capella Space’s planned constellation was successfully deployed to orbit Aug. 31, bringing the company one step closer to its vision of offering global on-demand synthetic aperture radar imagery—a capability that the U.S. government has expressed increasing interest in.

Dubbed Sequoia by Capella Space, this first publicly available satellite in what is expected to be a 36-satellite constellation will be able to deliver synthetic aperture […]
As CNBC reports that ByteDance could announce a deal to sell TikTok – or at least the US-facing business (along with Australia, New Zealand and Canada) – as soon as Tuesday, seemingly contradicting speculation that Beijing had a few days ago moved to try and delay the deal, White House trade advisor Pete Navarro returned to Fox Business Monday morning to warn that it’s “critical that this country not use apps that are made in China”. Navarro warned that user data gleaned from apps like TikTok and WeChat can be used to “surveil, monitor and track” Americans. “What I can say […]

In a piercing appraisal of the growing strife unraveling under President Donald Trump’s first term, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden accused him of stoking, and even starting, civil unrest that is proliferating across the country. Trump has been a “toxic presence in our nation for four years” who is “poisoning our very democracy,” Biden said forcefully in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The speech offered a moment of methodical, even urgent, messaging for Biden, who sought to cast the president as an unjust and dangerous leader who spews falsehoods in an effort to gain a political advantage. “This president long ago forfeited any moral […]

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) said on Sunday that more emphasis needs to be placed on “accountability and consequence” for police officers amid rising tensions in cities nationwide, as violent protesters continue to target law enforcement. “As we remember the lives of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many more whose lives were cut short, we must commit to reforming policing—ensuring officers face accountability and consequence for abuses of power,” Harris said on Sunday following weeks of violent riots across the country: As we remember the lives of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many more whose lives […]
