The US Centers for Disease Control have reached out to movie-lovers with a montage of classic Hollywood scenes, masking up both heroes and villains. About as subtle as a sledgehammer, the message didn't land quite right.

The public service announcement, sponsored by Warner Media and the Ad Council, took iconic moments from popular films like 'The Matrix', 'Casablanca', and 'Lord of the Rings' and slapped masks on the characters. Notably, the list included both heroes and villains, including Pennywise the Dancing Clown, a child-murdering monster from the film adaptation of Stephen King's 'It'.


Comment: From Breitbart:
CDC Coronavirus Guidance Recommends 'Layers of Material,' Including Double Masks

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending that Americans "add layers of material" to face coverings, even double-masking by wearing a disposable mask under a cloth one, to better protect themselves against coronavirus infection.

This particular guideline page, which says it was updated Wednesday, February 10, advises against wearing two disposable masks at once or wearing a second mask in combination with a KN95 face covering.

The plea has also sought directions to make a law as per which an action can be initiated against Twitter and their representatives in India for willfully abetting and promoting anti-India tweets and penalise them.

The Supreme Court on Friday sought responses from the Centre and Twitter India on a plea seeking a mechanism for regulating content and advertisements spreading hatred through fake news and instigative messages via bogus accounts.

A bench of Chief Justice S.A. Bobde and Justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian issued notices to the Centre and Twitter Communication India Pvt Ltd on the plea filed by one Vinit Goenka, which said there are hundreds of fake Twitter handles and bogus Facebook accounts in the name of eminent people and high dignitaries.

No privacy, no property: The world in 2030 according to the WEF

The World Economic Forum (WEF) was founded fifty years ago. It has gained more and more prominence over the decades and has become one of the leading platforms of futuristic thinking and planning. As a meeting place of the global elite, the WEF brings together the leaders in business and politics along with a few selected intellectuals. The main thrust of the forum is global control. Free markets and individual choice do not stand as the top values, but state interventionism and collectivism. Individual liberty and private property are to disappear from this planet by 2030 according to the projections and scenarios coming from the World Economic Forum.

Eight Predictions

Individual liberty is at risk again. What may lie ahead was projected in November 2016 when the WEF published "8 Predictions for the World in 2030." According to the WEF's scenario, the world will become quite a different place from now because how people work and live will undergo a profound change. The scenario for the world in 2030 is more than just a forecast. It is a plan whose implementation has accelerated drastically since with the announcement of a pandemic and the consequent lockdowns.

According to the projections of the WEF's "Global Future Councils," private property and privacy will be abolished during the next decade. The coming expropriation would go further than even the communist demand to abolish the property of production goods but leave space for private possessions. The WEF projection says that consumer goods, too, would be no longer private property.

Ex-employees of the 'Never Trump' Lincoln Project have reportedly asked to be released from nondisclosure agreements so they can speak openly about allegations that the group's co-founder is a serial sexual harasser.

Six people who worked for the high-profile political group have now written to the organization asking to be freed of legal agreements preventing them from discussing John Weaver, who is accused of sending unsolicited, sexually suggestive messages to over 20 men, including one who was only 14 when they first made contact. In some cases, he purportedly shared explicit photographs with the individuals, and offered them jobs in exchange for sexual favors.

The 61-year-old Republican operative admitted last month to sending "inappropriate" messages to several young men.

Woke Hollywood's totalitarian rules are as bad as China's - in some cases worse

In honor of China's Orwellian rules for entertainment industry right-think, I've compiled a comparable list for working in equally unforgiving Hollywood.

The two global gold standards when it comes to open-mindedness and tolerance for diversity of opinion have always been Hollywood and China.

Like Sauron and Saruman's two towers in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Hollywood and China are monuments to artistic freedom and freedom of expression, at least I think that's what the two towers stand for, since I've never actually read the book or seen the movie because of my egregiously short attention span and intellectual laziness.

China has long had an informal list of rules and requirements, or as I prefer to call them, "right-think guidelines," that its entertainers must follow in order to stay in the good graces of the totally non-totalitarian government.

Recently, the Chinese Association of Performing Arts made these informal rules official so that performers can better "self-regulate" and avoid punishments that could include a lifetime ban.

As a resident of the People's Republic of La La Land, I believe that Hollywood should boldly follow this shining example and make their unofficial right-think rules official, so that the crucial cultural trait of artistic "self-regulation" becomes more efficient and effective here in America.

Barr blocked officer's plea deal in George Floyd case; thought it would be perceived as lenient

Former Attorney General William Barr rejected a plea deal that a former Minneapolis police officer agreed to just days after the May 2020 death of George Floyd, according to a report.

Under the proposed deal, which required federal approval, Derek Chauvin -- the officer seen kneeling on Floyd's neck in a video that went viral -- had agreed to plead guilty to third-degree murder, The New York Times reported Wednesday, citing information from three law enforcement officials.

One official said Barr was concerned that the deal, which called for a 10-year prison sentence, could have been perceived by the public as too lenient. The investigation into Floyd's death was still ongoing at the time.

Barr also wanted to allow Hennepin County prosecutors to proceed with the case on their own terms, the Times reported.

Georgia Senator Warnock under investigation for voter registration misconduct

The Georgia State Election Board voted unanimously Wednesday to move forward with an investigation of U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) for his role serving as board chairman of a voter registration organization founded by Stacey Abrams that election officials say failed to follow deadlines, in what appears to be the latest legal step in the ongoing feud between the progressive Abrams and the state's Republican election officials.

KEY FACTS

Warnock served as chairman of the board for the New Georgia Project in 2019, which is when election officials claim misconduct took place. Under Georgia election rules, voting registration organizations like the New Georgia Project have to submit completed voter applications within ten days after they are received from the voter.

But officials allege that during a 2019 registration effort, some 1,268 applications were submitted to the Gwinnett County elections office after the ten-day deadline.

The Board voted 3-0 to refer the investigation to Georgia's Republican Attorney General Chris Carr, with the board's lone Democrat joining Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in abstaining from the vote.

Warnock did not respond to requests for comment from Forbes. Warnock resigned his position with the New Georgia Project on January 28, 2020.

Guardian editor Nathan Robinson insists cancel culture doesn't exist: Gets whacked by the granddaddy of all special interests - Big Israel

The meaning of 'free speech' is devolving rapidly, with an ever-widening swathe of journalistic content deemed deplatform-worthy, but one writer's run-in with the Israeli lobby should remind us where "cancel culture" began.

Current Affairs editor Nathan Robinson, a columnist for the Guardian, tripped over Tel Aviv's time-honored third rail back in December. He was incensed - as any sane American might be - by the truly preposterous piles of money that were being bundled off to Israel as part of what was supposed to be an omnibus spending bill combined with Covid-19 stimulus passed by Congress as a life-raft for a desperately needy American populace. So he sent out a tweet.

Socialist utopia? Recent events show that something is rotten in the state of Denmark

The Scandinavian nation is often held up as an example to other countries. But an increasing number of serious social problems suggest that under the veneer of respectability, all is not as it should be.

Despite topping almost every global happiness survey since the early 1970s - and its envious reputation for very tall people, tasty pastries, crispy bacon, minimalist designer chic and "probably the best lager in the world" - Denmark has a 'dark underbelly' that belies its utopian stereotype.

A prime example of this conflict between the touchy-feely fantasy of Scandinavian cultural perfection and the inconvenient truth about Europe's largest exporter of mink and pigs is The Investigation. Set in Copenhagen, this six-part 'Nordic noir' crime series is based on the murder of 30-year-old Swedish journalist, Kim Wall. Delivered with achingly forensic detail, the narrative concerns the evidential grind of a murder investigation, which in this case focuses on Danish inventor Peter Madsen, who Ms Wall had the misfortune to interview on his homemade midget submarine before she disappeared on August 10, 2017.
