Letter
BELGRADE (Sputnik) – Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic has received a letter with threats and suspicious powder, the state HINA news agency reported, citing the ruling Croatian Democratic Union party. The letter allegedly ended with a warning: “One of the cures for traitors is Novichok.” The police have launched an investigation. The incident is not the first time when the prime minister reports receiving threats. On Saturday, before the information about the suspicious letter emerged, police arrested two men for threatening Plenkovic. It came on the heels of Monday’s shooting in the capital of Zagreb, when a 22-year-old man opened fire […]
Mischievous internet trolls signed an open letter to governments that urges a policy of ‘Focused Protection’ towards the COVID-19 pandemic in place of a blanket lockdown, with amusing hoax names like “I P Freely”. Dozens of ridiculous fake names appeared on an open letter urging governments to adopt a “herd immunity” strategy towards COVID-19. Leading signatories of the public Great Barrington Declaration, named after the US town in which it was written, include Harvard University professor of medicine Dr Martin Kulldorff, Oxford University professor Dr Sunetra Gupta and Stanford University Medical School professor Dr Jay Bhattacharya, all epidemiologists. The open letter calls on governments […]
Pope Francis sounded downright woke in parts of a newly released encyclical – railing against free market, private property, racism and social injustice – but he couldn’t get through the title without offending some observers. Francis said the Covid-19 pandemic proved that free-market policies have failed to produce the societal benefits promised by their proponents. “The marketplace, by itself, cannot resolve every problem, however much we are asked to believe this dogma of neoliberal faith,” the pope wrote in his third encyclical, called “Fratelli Tutti,” to all Catholic bishops. So-called “trickle-down” economics fail to create promised “spillover” that resolves inequality, giving […]
Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett signed a letter in 2006 that included a call for the end of Roe v. Wade, denouncing the seminal court decision that provided a legal right to abortion as “barbaric.” The letter came in the form of an advertisement from the anti-choice group St Joseph County Right to Life which was based in South Bend, Indiana. “The Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion for any reason,” the ad read. “It’s time to put an end to the barbaric legacy of Roe v. Wade and restore laws that protect the lives of unborn […]

As Sofia Coppola has gotten older, so too have her protagonists, which makes it easy to see them—and their plights—as reflections of the aspirations and anxieties currently preoccupying the auteur. That’s once again true with On the Rocks, the story of a 39-year-old writer struggling with insecurity, suspicions about her husband, and the long shadow cast by her larger-than-life father, here played by Coppola’s Lost in Translation headliner Bill Murray with more mega-watt vivacity than he’s shown in years. Premiering online at the New York Film Festival before debuting in theaters (on October 2) and on Apple TV+ (on October 23), […]
Last week, in an interview with the New York Post, Noor bin Laden, the 33-year-old niece of deceased al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, endorsed President Trump and warned that another 9/11-style terrorist attack was possible if former Vice President Joe Biden won the presidency. Noor bin Laden, the self-described “American at heart” who raised eyebrows last week by making an impassioned endorsement of Donald Trump, has published “My Letter to America,” a new appeal in which she has lists ways she believes Trump has “made the world a much safer place.” The letter, posted on Noor’s website, makes no mention of […]
In April, US President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House that he would consider pardoning the Oklahoma celebrity exotic animal park owner, Joseph Maldonado-Passage, best known as Joe Exotic or the ‘Tiger King’, who was sentenced in January to 22 years in prison in a murder-for-hire plot and for violations of wildlife laws. The convicted private zoo owner at the centre of Netflix’s breakout series ‘Tiger King’, Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known by stage name Joe Exotic, sent a handwritten pardon-request letter to US President Donald Trump, to be delivered to the White House on Thursday, CBS News reported.

The Russian doctors who treated Alexei Navalny last week have issued an open letter in response to criticism of their efforts to save his life. They are offended by some commentary, which they believe is politically motivated. The Siberian medics say they did their best in a pressurising situation and that media coverage suggesting otherwise is “unacceptable” and part of what they term a “political diagnosis.” Aside from the staff at the Omsk emergency hospital where Navalny was taken after falling ill on a flight to Moscow, other leading Russian health figures have also signed the letter. They include the chairman […]
In 2016 50 GOP National Security Officials signed a letter opposing Donald Trump for president.This was after Trump campaigned against the Uniparty and the continued war machine in Washington DC.

A federal banking regulator’s decision to let banks provide crypto custody services may have seemed out of the blue, but the agency has been looking at cryptocurrencies for years. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) announced last month that federally regulated banks could provide services to crypto startups in addition to custody. It turns out the OCC was already leaning toward the move before Acting Comptroller Brian Brooks took the top job at the agency. Indeed, the OCC has been examining the cryptocurrency space since at least 2018 and likely longer, said Jonathan Gould, senior deputy comptroller and […]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Friday sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy demanding documents and answers by August 21 on changes they say could damage the USPS’s ability to process mail-in ballots. The Democrat-media complex exploded a couple weeks ago and accused President Trump of “destroying” the US Postal Service after the President’s newly appointed Postmaster General made structural changes. New changes made by Louis DeJoy have reportedly ‘slowed down’ the mail deliveries, prompting the left to accuse President Trump of corrupting the US Postal Service in order to deter people […]
A probe into former VP Joe Biden’s dealings in Ukraine is reportedly the ‘foreign interference’ in US elections that prompted Democrats to demand an urgent defensive briefing from the FBI for all members of Congress. “We are gravely concerned, in particular, that Congress appears to be the target of a concerted foreign interference campaign, which seeks to launder and amplify disinformation in order to influence congressional activity, public debate, and the presidential election in November,” says a letter by four Democrats on the congressional ‘Gang of Eight’ that deals with intelligence matters. The letter was dated July 13, but was made […]

It was the letter that launched a thousand tweets. Maybe even ten thousand—many of them, as happens so often on social media, brimming with insults and recrimination. And that doesn’t even account for several impassioned essays, some pro but mostly con, that the so-called “Letter on Justice and Open Debate” has provoked among the self-avowed intelligentsia—a tiny yet purportedly influential group of academics, artists, philosophers and journalists—since it was released on Tuesday by Harper’s magazine. “The controversy surrounding the letter shows the venom that these anodyne statements produced—statements that wouldn’t have been inflammatory ten years ago,” Harper’s Vice President Giulia Melucci […]
You know the modern day leftist movement has gone off the rails when they attack Marxist hero Noam Chomsky. The world renown Marxist philosopher joined a gaggle of other notable luminaries in penning a letter calling out the closed minded left for intolerance and cancel culture, and instead encouraging more open debate and dialogue. The letter was published by Harper’s, of all outlets, and reads in part: The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted. While we have come to expect this on the radical right, censoriousness is also spreading more […]

Dozens of residents of a St. Louis neighborhood have signed a letter condemning the actions of the couple who brandished guns at Black Lives Matter marchers on Sunday. Mark and Patricia McCloskey, a pair of personal injury attorneys, made headlines this week after they were filmed waving weapons at Black Lives Matter activists who walked in their gated neighborhood en route to a protest at the mayor’s home nearby.

With media and online pundits going into a full-blown meltdown after US President Donald Trump said that he was taking hydroxychloroquine as a prophylaxis against coronavirus, his doctor issued a statement in support of the drug. Trump’s admission late Monday that he has been taking the experimental drug, originally designed to treat malaria and several other conditions, has caught many off-guard, spawning a torrent of reactions online. The White House physician says he and the president “concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweighed the relative risks.” The FDA says there’s no evidence hydroxychloroquine treats or prevents coronavirus. Dr. Conley says Trump […]
Standard Chartered says it’s issued the first blockchain-based international letter of credit (LC) transaction using China’s national currency, the yuan. The London-based bank said earlier this week that the transaction, for a deal between Australian mining giant Rio Tinto and Chinese steelmaker Baosteel, was carried out over the blockchain trade finance network Contour. LCs are particularly useful in international commodities, acting as sureties for the seller that goods will be paid for when they eventually arrive. Contour’s first successful LC transaction was between two major petrochemical companies, also in the Asia region, in August, when the firm was known as Voltron. […]
