Nope, I ain’t dead yet. Yet.

Draconian anti-free speech laws in Germany? That’s unpossible!
Burning EU and other flags can now bring German jail term
And by “jail term” they mean three years in prison for “hate crimes.”
The law covers not just burning but “defiling” flags. And not just flags, but also the EU’s anthem, Beethovens “Ode to Joy.” I’m unclear how one would go about burning music apart from the actual sheet music or CD’s or something. But I suppose defilement of Ode To Joy being illegal might mean that performances such as these are now illegal in Germany. So play ’em loud and proud, Germanylanders:

… now, let’s see how well it works out:
Coronavirus prompted residents in richest parts of Manhattan to flee
Thousands of residents — about five percent or around 420,000 people — left wealthy New York City neighborhoods. Populations in the Upper East Side, the West Village, SoHo and Brooklyn Heights declined about 40 percent between March 1 and May 1, according to a report by the New York Times.
The vast majority here are almost certainly very temporary moves and they’ll doubtless come back and bring their money with them. However, *some* fraction will be gone permanently, and some larger fraction will be gone for a number of months, some beyond 6 months. At which point New York City loses their taxes. Woo!
Some 75% or so of them were paying $2000 or more per month in rent. In contrast, regular folk unsurprisingly hunkered down. End result: Manhattan got a bit poorer, with less of those filthy, filthy One Percenters cluttering up the joint. Just like how the Socialists want it, just through a Communist-started pandemic rather than a Socialist-led revolution.
But this sort of thing has been foreseen. From a bit over a year ago, long before the Kung Flu:

The appeal of astronaut Mark Kelly has really nosedived.
1)He’s a gun-grabber, which should be sufficient to get him blackballed from society.
2) He’s getting paid by the ChiComs.

“Buy this thing or the universe implodes.” Sounds legit!

Disney tried, with their “Anniken’s whole story of fall to darkness and ultimate redemption was meaningless” schlock. But below is the *real* change to the Palpatine canon that we can all get behind:

Mayor says ‘LA will NEVER be completely open until we have a coronavirus cure’ in stark warning
Until they have a cure. A cure for a freakin’ virus akin tot he seasonal flu. You know, the virus they’ve been trying to cure for a thousand years with little to no hope of actually curing?
Well, at last now we know: at least some of the politicians out there are actually aliens that inhabit the brains of the bodies of our dead.
I for one welcome our new reality bending squishy alien overlords, and look forward to reading their authoritarian newsletters.

Where was this when the lockdowns began?

I still have fond, vague memories of that Atari 2600 Space Shuttle simulator that I spent many, many hours on around 35 years ago, as was the style of the time.

Reportedly (according to the comments), the “squish” noise was edited in. But even without that, well… this is still well worth watching.

Shouldn’t this be more like “treason?” Or at least “espionage?”
UA professor arrested on wire fraud charge
University of Arkansas engineering professor Simon Ang didn’t disclose that he has close ties to the “Thousand Talent” program which the ChiComs use to scavenge classified technologies and technical skill/talent from the west… basically a vast spying and recruiting network. He actively tried to hide his involvement with this after receiving $5 million in NASA contract money, a process that requires disclosing foreign entanglements. Thus the “wire fraud.” But how is this not also treasonous?
The problem with Senator McCarthy was *not* that he was wrong about the pervasive and insidious nature of Communist infiltration.
