1. China threatens the UK about not using Huawei to set up 5G
(We are of the opinion at this time that 5G is as safe a technology medically as any other radio technology, although the data is not all in yet. However the use of China to install that technology is suicidal for our autonomy and freedoms, and for setting both foreign and domestic policies. For a quite good explanation of why and how this is, watch the last season of South Park)
Chinese telecoms company Huawei has said that disrupting its involvement in the rollout of 5G would do Britain “a disservice”.
In January, the UK government approved a limited role for Huawei in building the country’s new data networks.
But in March, a backbench rebellion within the Conservative party signalled efforts to overturn the move.
In an open letter, the firm also said it was focused on keeping the UK connected during the Covid-19 crisis.
But the pandemic may increase pressure on the government to take a tougher line on the company.

4. Somali Gang Rapist Whose Deportation Was Blocked by Air Passengers to Be Freed
A convicted Somali gang rapist is to be released on bail after his deportation was blocked by airline passengers, who staged a revolt to block him from being sent back to his country.
Yaqub Ahmed, one of four men who gang-raped a 16-year-old girl in 2007, should be released from detention after being granted “bail in principle” despite the authorities acknowledging he poses a “real risk” to the public.
In announcing his release, Judge Margaret O’Keeffe acknowledged that there is a “real risk that he would commit offences if released on bail.”
“I am also satisfied that the applicant poses a risk of absconding. He failed to comply with bail conditions in the past and was caught attempting to leave the jurisdiction,” the judge admitted.
But she said that she was bound by guidance for immigration judges which limits the government’s ability to detain someone for more than six months before they are deported.
5. Trump Threatens Countries With Visa Sanctions If They Stop Accepting Deported Citizens
(As usual, the Trump administration is the last reasonable government in the West, adopting measures you would expect any government to adopt against hostile states)
President Donald Trump is threatening to withhold visas from countries that refuse to accept deported citizens from the United States out of concern stemming from the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump issued a memo late Friday, ordering acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf to notify the State Department of any government that refuses to accept deportees from the U.S.
Upon notification, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would have seven days to impose visa sanctions, making it harder — and likely impossible — for citizens of those countries to obtain U.S. visas.
The memo dramatically ratcheted up pressure on governments, particularly in Central America, to keep allowing deportation flights into their countries.
6. Dozens of arrests of migrant ‘youths’ in Belgium following riots and looting of police van
Dozens of people have been arrested in the Brussels municipality of Anderlecht after migration-background youths staged a riot and fired shots from a stolen police service weapon.
The trigger for the riot in the European Union capital — which is under strict lockdown as Belgium experiences one of the worst per capita coronavirus death tolls in the world — seems to have been the death of a 19-year-old identified as “Adil”.
The young suffered fatal injuries after running a police checkpoint on a scooter and subsequently colliding with a police van which was sent as back-up, according to POLITICO.
Calls for a “protest” soon followed, despite bans on public gatherings, and video footage shows youths who appear to be from a migration background trashing police vehicles with slabs of stone in the middle of the street.
7. One Killed, Four Injured as Artillery Firefight Continues Between India, Pakistan
The two South Asian foes have been engaged in firefights and shelling for the past several days following the killing of five Indian troops near the Line of Control (LoC).
Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry has summoned the Indian Charges d’Affairs amid ceasefire violations, hours after one Pakistani soldier was killed and four injured as a result of an artillery firefight.
The day before, three civilians were killed when Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged heavy artillery fire.
Hostilities along the Line of Control (LoC) resumed last week following the killing of five Indian troops.
The Pakistani Army has accused Indian troops of disregarding a ceasefire agreement and international conventions by initiating “unprovoked ceasefire violations” along the Line of Control (LoC) and “deliberately targeting” the civilian population in the Baroh, Dhudnial, Rakhchikri, and Chirikot sectors.
India, for its part, issued a statement to say that its army was responding to a ceasefire violation by Pakistan.
8. Sweden Seeing Incidents of Criminals Shouting ‘Corona’ and Coughing on Police ‘to Avoid Arrest’
So far, over 130 coronavirus-related incidents have been reported by police personnel, and, according to a police spokesman, there is a general concern within the entire police force.
Sweden’s national broadcaster SVT has reported a spate of incidents involving people purportedly sick with the coronavirus intentionallly cough and spit on police. According to SVT, employees in healthcare, the national liquor-store monopoly Systembolaget, and postal workers have also been affected.
“There have been a few examples of that. They pretend to be infected, run against the police and cough or spit”, Patrik Danielsson of the National Police Association told SVT.
So far, more than 130 coronavirus-related incidents have been reported by police personnel, and, according to Danielsson, there is a general concern within the entire police force.
(Now I wonder who could be doing that?)
[…] The clip was later taken down, and the authors, a migrant duo, claimed to have been threatened and subjected to racism.
(Oh. Right.)
9. 116 fully recovered Wuhan Flu patients found to be reinfected
(And this is part of the puzzle most likely. The extremely high contagious factor and the lack of immunity after recovery might go part way to explaining these crazy measures we are taking, and answer the question of if this is a Chinese bioweapon or at least a Chinese designed virus in a lab.)
10. Greece Ready to Protect Border if Turkey Lets Migrants With COVID-19 Reach Islands
ATHENS (Sputnik) – Athens is ready to protect its sovereignty and borders if Turkey decides to send migrants infected with the virus to Greece’s islands, government spokesman Stelios Petsas said on Monday.
“First of all, I must say that Turkey’s constant threats and blackmailing of Greece and Europe with the use of migrants already failed in Evros. We are always on high alert due to the fact that it could take such attempts on the islands this time”, Petsas said at a briefing.
The spokesman stated that Athens was monitoring the situation on the border and was ready to protect Greece and Europe’s borders in case of a threat by Ankara.
“We are monitoring the movement on the coast. On the one hand, no one can know what condition people are in there. We see an increase in coronavirus cases in Turkey. On the other hand, we are ready and will do everything to protect our sovereign rights and protect the borders of Greece and Europe”, he concluded.
Thank you M., ML., Wrath of Khan, Coram Deo, Richard, Babs, Johnny U., Hellequin GM., Malca, and all who sent in materials. Making sense of our world right now is a challenge beyond the ability of most. So a special thank you to you all who make the effort so that we all might do so at some point.
9 – There are several possible reasons for the reinfection, all of which have troubling implications.
1) Were the tests showing no infection correct or giving a false negative?
2 ) Were the tests showing reinfection giving a false positive?
3) Either yesterday or Saturday I posted a video about how there were 3 strains of the virus running around the world, this was attributed to a fast mutation rate. but what if
3-1) Were the 3 different strains designed to require different anti-bodies?
3-2) If the mutations are natural has there been more the 2 mutations and what have the mutations affected?
4) If this was a deliberate release what was the eventual goal of the CCP? The destruction of the US? An excuse to crack down on the internal opposition to communism? An attempt to damage South Korea, Japan, with the added benefit of damaging various Middle Eastern Nations making them need China more?
What’s to stop the CCP, who have agents in every corner of the planet, to initiate a whole new virus somewhere even as the current one rages? Sorry to be so negative, but we’re talking about communists.
10 – Turkey is making moves to try and re-conquer the portions of Europe that the Ottoman Empire once controlled. Are they strong enough to carry out this plan? What will be the reaction of the Islamic Invaders already in Europe when Greece and Turkey start fighting?
Side note on the latter questions, hoe badly is the Wuhan Flu affecting the invaders and their autonomous regions?
Second side note, are any of the European governments or resistance movements desperate enough to try using some improvisied bio weapon on the invaders? If no will they ever get this desperate?
People of Europe arm your self and go help Greece to defend Europe!!, where are the guys with balls !!, defend this continent for your children and grandchildren now !!,
