Italy: Sewage Study Suggests COVID-19 Was There in December 2019
June 29th, 2020Via: Reuters:
Scientists in Italy have found traces of the new coronavirus in wastewater collected from Milan and Turin in December 2019 – suggesting COVID-19 was already circulating in northern Italy before China reported the first cases.
The Italian National Institute of Health looked at 40 sewage samples collected from wastewater treatment plants in northern Italy between October 2019 and February 2020. An analysis released on Thursday said samples taken in Milan and Turin on Dec. 18 showed the presence of the SARS-Cov-2 virus.

Charting The $1.7B Transfer Of Military Equipment To Police Departments
June 29th, 2020Via: ZeroHedge:
In the wake of countrywide protests surrounding the killing of George Floyd, questions around the militarization of police forces have taken center stage once again.
How did so many police departments across the United States end up with bomb-proof trucks and night vision goggles? Where are departments acquiring this equipment, and at what cost?
Visual Capitalist’s Nick Routley notes that these questions and more are answered by data from the Defense Logistics Agency, which oversees the 1033 Program. The visualization above tracks the flow of military equipment to law enforcement over the past decade.
A Cash Cliff Spells Trouble for U.S. Unemployed, and Everyone Else
June 29th, 2020Via: Reuters:
Judith Ramirez is bracing for July. That’s when the hotel housekeeper and her electrician husband – who have both been out of work for three months – expect their combined unemployment benefits to drop by more than half, and their deferred $1,500 monthly mortgage payment on their Honolulu home to come due.
It’s a cash cliff millions of Americans face this summer as the emergency benefits — which lifted U.S. consumer incomes by a record 10.8% in April — expire. The loss of that safety net looms in the weeks ahead, well before a sustained recovery is likely to take hold from the sudden and deep recession brought on by the novel coronavirus.
Bankruptcy Wave and or Closures of Hospitals Across the Country

The American Hospital Association (AHA) warns, in a new report, that “hospitals and health systems face catastrophic financial challenges in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
From soaring COVID-19 costs to canceled services to plunging hospital revenue to purchasing personal protective equipment to reimbursement landscape challenges to decreasing patient volumes, many of these factors have triggered a recent bankruptcy wave and or closures of hospitals across the country.

Superyacht Linked to Epstein ‘Madam’ Ghislaine Maxwell Spotted in New Zealand
June 28th, 2020Via: The Sun:
A SUPERYACHT previously named after the fugitive socialite Ghislaine Maxwell has been spotted in New Zealand after sailing from Australia.
But the mystery of her whereabouts remains after the crew reportedly refused to say how long it’s been in Auckland or who is on board.
Maxwell, one of the world’s most wanted women, is thought to have fled to France, where she was born, to avoid questioning in the US by the FBI over her links to the late disgraced billionaire.
But as revealed by the Sun, the 58-year-old, who vanished from public life in 2016, moved into her secret bolthole on Avenue Matignon, in Paris’s exclusive 8th Arrondissement, to remain undetected.
Now the mystery has been deepened after a 190ft vessel linked to her has been spotted in New Zealand.
It was previously owned by crooked British media mogul Robert Maxwell, who named it Lady Ghislaine after his beloved daughter.
The yacht is now named The Dancing Hare and registered to a company named Touille, based in Vallauris, France.
In January this year it sailed from Sydney to Dunedin, New Zealand.

Signal from 500 Million Light Years Away Is First Periodic Pattern of Radio Bursts Detected
June 28th, 2020Via: MIT News:
A team of astronomers, including researchers at MIT, has picked up on a curious, repeating rhythm of fast radio bursts emanating from an unknown source outside our galaxy, 500 million light years away.
…
This new FRB source, which the team has catalogued as FRB 180916.J0158+65, is the first to produce a periodic, or cyclical pattern of fast radio bursts. The pattern begins with a noisy, four-day window, during which the source emits random bursts of radio waves, followed by a 12-day period of radio silence.
The astronomers observed that this 16-day pattern of fast radio bursts reoccurred consistently over 500 days of observations.
“This FRB we’re reporting now is like clockwork,” says Kiyoshi Masui, assistant professor of physics in MIT’s Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research. “It’s the most definitive pattern we’ve seen from one of these sources. And it’s a big clue that we can use to start hunting down the physics of what’s causing these bright flashes, which nobody really understands.”
In Final Minutes of Stream Before Being Banned, Dr. Disrespect Mentioned David Icke
June 27th, 2020In the world of video game streaming, Dr. Disrespect is one of the top entertainers. Nothing official has been released about why Twitch banned him. There are only rumors.
I went looking for his final stream and found this:
“David Icke… I like him.”
And then…
Via: Forbes:
The Twitch community is in uproar after one of the sites most popular personalities, Guy Beahm, AKA “Dr Disrespect,” was mysteriously banned from Twitch.
The length of, and reasoning behind the ban was not initially disclosed, although, according to independent esports journalist Rod Breslau, Beahm’s ban is permanent and unrelated to recent Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedowns for use of copyrighted music on Twitch.
…
Beahm’s playful demeanour quickly changes after glancing at his phone screen. After a slight pause, Beahm randomly starts to discuss unhinged conspiracy theorist David Icke, a man who unironically believes that an inter-dimensional race of reptilians, known as “the Archons,” have taken over our planet.
Whether this sudden interest in Icke has anything to do with Beahm’s Twitch ban is incredibly unlikely, but the bizarre rant, along with Beahm’s dramatic shift in tone, adds to the melodramatic mystery of the streamer’s sudden disappearance from Twitch.
