Q: "The technocrat class has been trained to follow needlessly complex procedures and compliance processes as the path to professional advancement while avoiding accountability for the increasingly dismal results...

Once costs must be cut and results take precedence over process, much of the technocrat class will find itself replaced by automated software. 

The top 10%--the rentier-technocrat class--will find the bottom 90% can no longer pay their rent, insurance, etc.

"However, there have been warnings from within the industry that making proof of vaccination mandatory could be disastrous for the already suffering travel sector. Gloria Guevara, leader of the World Travel and Tourism Council, recently argued that only a negative test result should be required to fly, as vaccines are not yet widely available and high-risk groups that receive the jab are less likely to travel."

"We are the people, we are the taxpayers. We're here to fight for our democracy."

"We accomplished two very important things ... We put the fear of God in the citizens of our state.

If the court rules in favor of the user and the internet service refuses to obey the ruling, they could be fined up to PLN 8 million (US$2.2 million) from the Office of Electronic Communications."

Q: "Citing the United States Constitution and U.S. Code, Constitutional Lawyer Ivan Raiklin says it is Vice President Mike Pence’s duty to instruct states to expeditiously send their Electoral College Certificates immediately if they have not been received.

According to Raiklin, the Constitution would allow these states to be completely stricken from the Electoral College if Pence should refuse to accept them, and the number of Electoral College votes required to win would shrink dramatically from 270. President Trump would win under a simple majority of Electoral College votes, 232-227, without any risk of triggering a contingent election."

Biden er flæktur í spillingu með allri fjölskyldunni

Q: "Schweizer advised that the elder Biden is a “direct beneficiary” of Hunter Biden’s dealings. He noted Hunter Biden had no “expertise” or “connections” to the deals he made overseas other than the fact that his father was serving as vice president at the time.

“Let’s keep in mind, CEFC and Chairman Ye, who is the head of that company, is linked directly to the PLA. The chairman was brought up on corruption charges. There was sort of an internal purge, as it were, in China. Some of the directors of that company have direct ties to President Xi. So this is not some random Chinese company on the fringes of Chinese political life. It’s at the center of it.”

 They were going to House the Biden Foundation and a CEFC office in the exact same office space. So, it’s very troubling. And it speaks to the fact of how cozy the Bidens have been with the Chinese.”"

Hvernig týnir maður 37.000 manns?

Q: "More than 37,000 migrants have absconded in Britain – the equivalent of the entire town of Redcar.

Official figures show the Home Office cannot trace tens of thousands of people who have either skipped their immigration bail conditions or fled from detention centres.

Last night, campaigners seized on the data, which was released under Freedom of Information laws, as proof that Britain’s immigration system is not being properly enforced.

Alp Mehmet, chairman of Migration Watch UK, said: ‘This is a shocking failure. It is ridiculous to intercept those crossing the Channel illegally or after they emerge from the back of lorries, only to turn them loose to disappear into the undergrowth of the shadow economy."

Q: ""Masks can do little to stop airborne transmission," says Prof Digard. "Covid particles that aren’t contained in water droplets are too small to be stopped by them."

One real-life trial, involving 6,000 participants wearing surgical masks at all times while out in public, proved inconclusive.

As for whether they stop the virus getting in, protecting the wearer, the evidence is even more flimsy."

Kínverjar stunda vegagerð í Himalaja

Q: "The Hindustan Times reported Friday that the road and associated infrastructure will improve the PLA’s ability to cross Karakoram Pass. The road is less than 30 feet wide for much of its length, but it would “shorten the distance to the strategic gateway into the Daulet Beg Oldi sector by two hours,” and would help the PLA feed and support troops positioned along the mountainous Indian border for extended periods.

Both India and China have thousands of troops dug in along the border, even though it runs through some of the most inhospitable high-altitude terrain in the world. Indian officials who spoke to the Hindustan Times pointed to China’s road-construction project as an example of how the PLA talks about disengagement but keeps reinforcing its positions."

"The tape clearly shows that Assange warned Hillary Clinton’s State Department that a former WikiLeaks employee was preparing to release the unredacted US diplomatic cables, and offered to help them mitigate the potential fallout, but “that offer was ignored,” Hrafnsson told RT. The State Department never followed through on the conversation."

Q: "Covid-19 vaccination programs being launched around the world open the door to new forms of identification that could lead to greater government control over daily life, Privacy International has cautioned in a new report.

In its analysis, the UK-based human rights group said that vaccination cards and “immunity” passports being issued by some governments could pave the way for “digital identity schemes” and other forms of ID.

According to the organization, such “function creep” could be harnessed by authorities to roll out a digital ID that can be used for law enforcement, counter-terrorism and immigration – areas that typically fall outside the scope of public health. Using the coronavirus pandemic, governments could “shortcut public debate” about these new forms of identification and what they mean for the lives of citizens, Privacy International noted."

Fyrirsögnin segir allt.

 

Skoðum samt betur: "According to local media, this left-wing lunatic called the police last week after a man reportedly threw a rock at her living room window.

Herbold has proposed a bill that would give the man who allegedly hurled this rock what amounts to a free pass from prosecution, a bill that would effectively legalize the crime committed against her.

The model on which Herbold’s proposal is based would tell….

….prosecutors to consider dismissing charges against a suspect “experiencing symptoms of a behavioral health disorder” while they committed the crime. What is considered a behavioral health disorder? 

‘Mental disorder’ means any organic, mental, or emotional impairment which has substantial adverse effects on a person’s cognitive or volitional function.

In other words, you could claim you experienced symptoms of anxiety during the crime. But how could the prosecution prove otherwise? Scott Lindsay, former public safety adviser to Mayor Ed Murray, noted in a white paper that “there is no practical way for a prosecutor to disprove a defendant’s claim that they are experiencing symptoms of a mental disorder.”

In other words, according to Herbold’s own proposal, if caught, all the alleged rock-hurler would have to do is claim that, at the time of the incident, he was suffering from emotional stress over his economic situation, or that he was depressed and dealing with anxiety and trauma, or heroin withdrawal… Which sounds to me like pretty much every criminal in the world."
