    The issue of government enforcing mask wearing is feudalism. Respect for the elders and to avoid passing the flu. This is why Japanese, a seniority based society, wear flu (blue) masks and they never have to enforce it by legislation because people will wear it on their own if they feel unwell. The Chinese wear smog masks (white).

    If they do that, they'll ruin countless businesses, bloggers and vloggers who used social media for "friendly purposes", not political propaganda.

    Travel bloggers, fans of various things and activities, cultural groups will be ruined.

    Bloggers will still get away with it. But mainstream media and TV stations will fall under government control to prevent foreign penetration like what is happening right now. The amount of fake news or "regime propaganda" in the MSM is incredible.

    I'm now mostly reading from alt media to get real news.

    Now, they are trying to change the virus narrative. Very soon, the MSM will say it's from planet Mars and I think the brain washed sheeps will believe.

    Let's wait an see if:
    - we'll be "allowed" to take the "doggie muzzle" after people get vaccinate
    - there will still be cash or if we'll get chipped like pigs and get the salary through a QR code scan :D
    - they tell us: "more money? why do you need that? you've got universal basic income and plenty of entertainment, what more do you need?"
    - the next "pandemic" (sponsored by Microsoft) starts spreading soon... Bill Gates is so sure it will come in the next 3 years (how does this nerd know???) :D
    - we will be allowed to move around, travel around freely or... just like the Chinese with a "social credit score"

    Yes. I think it's 90-95 % FAKE.

    Not even the opposite is true.

    it's not valid when public transport is banning your entry.

    Buahaha; figures. o_O

    The United Nations Development Programme is facing several allegations of fraud and corruption linked to the multibillion-dollar Global Environment Facility, according to documents seen by the Financial Times. A copy of a draft report by UNDP’s office of audit and investigations, dated November 2020, described “financial misstatements” worth millions of dollars across UNDP’s portfolio of GEF-funded projects around the world. The report highlighted problems including signs of “fraudulent activities” at two country offices and “suspicions of collusion among the various project managers” at another, without naming the countries. “Issues identified by the audit could seriously compromise the achievement of the objectives of the audited entity,” the report said.
    --
    The audit of the UNDP’s GEF-funded projects — which covers 2018 and 2019 and is the first review of its kind since 2013 — comes against a backdrop of rising concern from some donor countries over management and oversight issues at the UNDP. An investigation by Foreign Policy in 2019 published whistleblower accounts alleging the misappropriation of millions of dollars at a UNDP-run GEF project in Russia. Twelve donor countries — including the US, France, Australia and Japan — have since sought an independent review of the UNDP’s handling of that project, according to a letter seen by the FT.

    Price of physical gold looks good but still too high for investment buy. I’m more keen on gold miners but they have hardly fallen. Strange times.

    Now dealers would have to sell at lower prices, just like in 2013, after the gold crash. If gold keeps falling, I expect outrageously high prices at dealers' shops.

    Back then we had to wait 1-2 years for the prices to become affordable. This was true for both gold and silver.

    This was recently released, couple days ago, I wonder what's the reason for it? It's amazing such a small thing can deliver up to 300kt. This looks like the sort of thing you use against godzilla monsters or aliens.

    I think gold has hit a short term bottom 2 days ago. Saw some kilobar buying. It has been a long time since I observed that. Big money nibbling after a long abstinence. Silver not moving though.

    I'm still able to get investment gold at only 1% premium but not buying for the time being. Already bought my new year gifts unfortunately.

    There is no other way to explain this apart from illegal ballot stuffing.
    Bringing hidden votes out after counting had stopped and there was no media or observers around to monitor the counting, sometimes putting them through the machines multiple times.
    It's on video.
    Arguing there was no fraud at this point makes you look like an idiot.

    "No, Georgia election workers didn’t kick out observers and illegally count ‘suitcases’ of ballots"

    "Lead Stories and Georgia Public Broadcasting reported that while the state’s law allows partisan observers to watch, it does not actually require that they be present for ballots to be counted."

    Technically the counting of ballots isn't illegal, but the means in which they were counted may very well have been.


    It's all in the wording. What are they actually refuting?!?

    That observer were kicked out, rather than being instructed to leave, or influenced to leave under the belief that no more ballots were to be counted.

    The terminology of what the ballots were stored in, e.g "Suitcases".

    And whether the counting of said ballots were "illegal" with the absence of observers.

    It's a typical strategy of bias fact-checking sites like PolitiFact to narrow in on mute points, while dismissing key facts by not even mentioning them.

    Why did the observers leave?
    Why were the ballot boxes stored under the table, untouched, until the rest of the election workers had left?
    Who were the ballots from?
    Who were the ballots for?

    There's enough red flags in this situation to warrant an investigation.
