Minnesota’s capital exploded last night, literally – as protests and riots engulfed part of the city following the in-custody death of 46 year-old George Floyd on Monday.

One person was reportedly shot and killed during yesterday’s upheaval, along with widespread looting and multiple fires set by angry residents.
Other street protests kicked-off across country including a large demonstration in Los Angeles.

Under a government plan to expand police state powers, many of Australia’s “Protective Services Officers” (PSO) could remain in their expanded COVID crisis role indefinitely, patrolling public transport hubs and major venues, including shopping districts and malls in and around the Melbourne metropolitan area – even after the Coronavirus pandemic is finished.
Victoria Police command and the state government have confirmed that PSO powers will likely be expanded under an extension of “state-of-emergency” laws.

Coercion: the practice of forcing another party to act in an involuntary manner by use of threats or force.

As many US states struggle to roll-back their highly damaging lockdown policies, various complex technocratic ‘gating’ systems are now being devised by public health officials – all of them presumable designed to prevent a theoretical “second wave” of coronavirus infections and deaths. One such precondition is the call for “mass testing and contact tracing” for COVID-19.

It is not only about physically surviving the pandemic. People miss people, and places, sometimes desperately. And they die, when separated.

In a rambling interview this week, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (above, wearing a mask) informed America’s largest city that stay-at-home ‘lockdown’ orders will continue ‘with all certainty’ for another three months, bringing his house arrest sentence for upwards of 13 million residents up to the month of August.

As the summer fast approaches and the threat of the Coronavirus rapidly subsides, government spin doctors are becoming increasingly desperate to hammer home a failing narrative. In order to do this, more power is being devolves to the security services and spying agencies – including the creation of a new agency in order to elevate the concept of a “bio threat” in the eyes of the public. Are the government preparing the public for a new “War on Terror” security theatre?

A Fresno, California waffle restaurant dared to open its doors for business this weekend to the delight of a long line of customers, who waited up to two hours for the “privilege” of willingly spending their money in a business happy to serve them breakfast on Mother’s Day. This freedom of voluntary transaction is the core of what we used to call our free society. But in an America paralyzed by fear – ramped up by a mainstream media that churns out propaganda at a level unparalleled in history – no one is allowed to enjoy themselves.

Last week, one brave US police officer from Seattle, Greg Anderson, took to social media to speak out against what he felt were  unconstitutional measures and policies being deployed by the State against the people during ‘Lockdown.’ The video went viral. After political pressure was placed on the city’s police department by the governor of Washington state, he was then threatened with termination unless he removed the video from the internet.
