David Brock’s propaganda arm for the far-left, Media Matters, is collapsing right before our eyes. Like so many other leftist outfits like Vox and Salon, Media Matters is going broke, and battling a blizzard of lawsuits.
Here, Styxhexenhammer666 rails against the “Missing Link” outfit and its many trolling hit pieces against conservatives.
John Stossel asserts that Wikipedia’s left-wing bias is beyond the pale. He says the digital encyclopedia doesn’t consider any right-leaning outlets reliable, not Fox News, the Daily Caller, The Daily Wire or the New York Post. What do they consider fair and balanced? How about CNN, MSNBC, Vox and Buzzfeed, to name a few. Here’s Stossel’s analysis.
Mark Esper, the Secretary of the Department of Defense, on Wednesday acknowledged that a new sphere of weaponry has opened up — directed energy weapons, shot from high-flying aircraft or even from satellite systems in outer space. Esper confirmed China and Russia possess and are using directed energy weapons (DEW) in space. It’s clear that the United States is doing the same. In fact, we have found videos of the Air Force discussing its directed energy weaponry. We’ll run one of those informative videos below, as well as another video on autonomous weaponry. Those are essentially robots or other mechanical systems that can replace humans in combat zones. Esper said there have been major new advances with these systems as well.

How do these weapons work? What kinds of destruction can they sow? Have any of these weapons been a factor behind any of the forest fires we’ve seen burning across the Pacific Northwest? We’re not going to be able to provide answers for quite some time, but here, we offer a video from the Air Force Research Lab that begins to provide a framework for understanding what these directed energy weapons can do.

Many of the viruses that make us sick originate in animals. For example, influenza viruses come from birds and pigs, HIV Aids comes from chimpanzees and the Ebola virus originated in bats. In the case of the current COVID-19 coronavirus, there’s evidence it went from a bat to a pangolin (anteater) before affecting a human.
While it’s rare for such a virus to make this journey, the wildlife wet markets in Wuhan, China, where it most likely originated, give us a strong clue to its uprising. Both SARS and COVID-19 are in the coronavirus family and both appear to have emerged from animals in China’s notorious wildlife markets.
Experts have long predicted that these markets, known to be potential sources of disease, would enable another outbreak. The markets and the wildlife trade that supports them are the underlying problem of these pandemics. And until China solves that problem, more are likely to emerge. Here’s more from Vox.

Universal background checks make it increasingly difficult for bad people to buy firearms, but they really don’t have any effect on the gun crisis in America. For starters, the FBI database is severely outdated, missing millions of records. Secondly, background checks only look at good people and already bad people, but there is an in-between. So what’s the solution? Twelve states and D.C. have gone one step farther in establishing a licensing system to deal with the problem. See how it works in this episode of Vox.

Coronavirus death camps don’t just exist in China. They can be found everywhere, including the United States. Here, several military bases are being readied to house mass coronavirus victims. One AI predicts as many as 53 million could die globally. More from Lisa Haven.
We now have over 35.000 cases of coronavirus as the death toll continues to mount. Styxhexenhammer666 says we have had the first fatality in the United States — a 60-year-old man. It’s appearing now as if about 4 out of 5 cases of the disease are curable, if there is proper health care, including adequate beds. But at least one of every 5 cases risks serious complications or fatalities. Chinese nationals are now banned from cruise ships. New epicenters are appearing across China. There also are rising outbreaks elsewhere in Asia, notably Singapore and Hong Kong.
Here’s shocking footage of a large white cube inside of which China is transporting coronavirus victims. Are they merely patients or also political prisoners? More from Mr. Obvious.
Sarah Westall joins the SGTReport to discuss the engineered pandemic known as 2019-nCoV coronavirus.
As China now has placed over 400 million of its citizens under quarantine, China’s economy is grinding to a halt. Workers can’t leave their homes. Factories are idle. Most (if not all) of China’s ports are no longer shipping. International flights are increasingly banned from the country.
When the world’s #2 economy hangs up a big “CLOSED” sign, that’s going to result in a major negative impact on global trade. As the manufacturing powerhouse to the world, you’ll be challenged to think of ANY industry that won’t experience serious supply chain interruptions and shortages from China’s woes.
Did you know China makes the vast majority of our prescription pharmaceuticals? A MASSIVE hit to the global economy will directly result from the damage the coronavirus is currently doing. And it may get worse, a lot worse. So ignore today’s ridiculous all-time high stock prices. They can’t last in the face of what’s coming. More from Chris Martenson.

Vox declares that ideas like ‘cleanliness,’ and ‘hygiene,’ have a bigoted history. Because virtue signaling is more important than containing the spread of the coronavirus. More from Mr. Obvious.
Surprisingly, DNA ancestry tests are just a company’s best guess at matching your genetic markers to different parts of the world. Because of massive marketing campaigns, more than 26 million have taken the test with hopes of finding out where their DNA comes from. Unfortunately, DNA testing is much more limited in that respect than companies let on. Learn more from this episode of Vox.

If you’ve traveled to New York City, chances are iconic Central Park was one of your pit stops. But there’s a part of the story you’ll never see–the narrative of how this predominantly black community, known as Seneca Village, was uprooted by local government to make way for America’s first landscaped, public park. Learn more in this riveting piece from Vox.
