RE: News of the World - kyonides - 05-05-2020
Here's a series of events pertaining to Germany and China in the last couple of weeks. I think the clip I posted on What am I youtubing? could be the perfect beginning for these series.
China furious over German newspaper claims that China caused Covid-19 outbreak
http://www.rfi.fr/en/international/20200420-china-furious-over-german-newspaper-claims-that-china-caused-covid-19
Radio France Internationale Wrote:China has launched a furious war-of-words over a letter by German magazine Bild editor accusing China of being the cause of the Covid-19 outbreak and demanding massive reparations.
Meanwhile, the French foreign ministry has summoned the Chinese ambassador to France over an article that “slanders” staff of French nursing homes.
And they still complain about those justified claims?When did the bat viruses in the Wuhan lab disappear?
After they were unable to contain them and it freely spread in the surroundings of their beloved but rubbish wet market!?
German tabloid sends $162-billion bill to China as 'Covid-19 damages'

Beijing calls it xenophobia. I suggest you call it hypengyophobia instead. 
What's that? It's the irrational fear of responsibility! It's a perfect fit, don't you think? 
So Bild make sure they pay all of us our well deserved reparations! 
Germany says China sought to encourage positive COVID-19 comments
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-germany-china/germany-says-china-sought-to-encourage-positive-covid-19-comments-idUSKCN2280JW
You gotta be as nefarious as China to tell politicians living abroad and who have no direct ties to the Asian country what to tell the world about the Chinese government and the pandemic.France's first known case 'was in December'
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52526554
Did you ever think that USA and Germany were the only countries suspecting China did something wrong? Then 
it twice because France noticed made her first visit to France last December! 
So WHO's statement that there was no human to human transmission of coronavirus until mid January has been debunked!
Once again... 
US family 'murdered shop guard for enforcing mask policy'
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52540266
So if you disagree with some Covid-19 policy, you just get rid of the guard!?
IS militants 'dumped bodies in Syria gorge', HRW says

For those like Kainers, we got bad news from Syria, ISIS keeps wreaking havoc in the Middle East!
Mozambique: Is Cabo Delgado the latest Islamic State outpost?
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-52532741
It's not like Africa was or is in a good position to face more menaces after some guerrillas and the locust plague AND
had arrived. Still, it has to deal with more ISIS crap!? The groundbreaking way to search lungs for Covid-19

Malaria 'completely stopped' by microbe
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-52530828
BBC Wrote:Scientists have discovered a microbe that completely protects mosquitoes from being infected with malaria.
The team in Kenya and the UK say the finding has "enormous potential" to control the disease.
This sounds quite promising indeed. Costa Rica and pretty much all of Latin America would really appreciate it if they shared their knowledge and equipment with the region.

BBC Wrote:In a live broadcast on Monday, Mr Maduro displayed what he said were the passports of the two arrested Americans - Airan Berry and Luke Denman - who work for a Florida-based security company.
He told viewers: "They were playing Rambo, they were playing hero."
Climate change: More than 3bn could live in extreme heat by 2070

I'm glad
that was not the case in 2020 or could have asphyxiated us in no time. Summer holidays abroad possible, German official says
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52547403
Since Germany is going through the same situation as the rest of the world, why didn't they consider boosting local tourism first? I assume local brewers would love to offer you some cold 
if you ever pay them a visit.

The Case against Gen. Michael Flynn dropped by the DOJ
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/drops-doj-case-against-michael-flynn-in-wake-of-internal-memo-release
Well, that's TWO black eyes for the FBI. The Horowitz report showed that FBI agents they went after Carter Page illegally. And now it was uncovered that FBI agents actively worked to entrap Flynn to either get him arrested or get him fired, had no reason to interview him at all (which Comey set up), and messed with the 32-year veteran's '302' Interview report. And his initial guilty plea was coerced under a threat by the FBI to prosecute his son.
Since new evidence showed up that members of the FBI literally intended to put Flynn in a perjury trap,
The Flynn bombshell puts renewed attention on Durham probe
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/flynn-bombshell-puts-renewed-attention-on-durham-probe-source-says-barr-talking-to-him-every-day
Think about the revealed notes showing the FBI's intent. "The handwritten notes were penned by the FBI’s former head of counterintelligence Bill Priestap after a meeting with then-FBI Director James Comey and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and before Flynn’s interview." As of now, sources say charges could be justified against officials, and that those reviewing the Justice Department and the FBI's actions are building a "serious case."
Oh, sure some out there are saying "BUT HE PLED GUILTY", but might I remind you...
(05-01-2020, 04:37 AM)DerVVulfman Wrote: But how did they get Flynn to plead guilty of the charges if he was innocent??
https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/explosive-revelations-in-the-flynn-case/
"Specifically, Flynn is said to have been warned that, if he refused to plead guilty, prosecutors would charge his son with a felony for failing to register with the Justice Department as a foreign agent."
Now it's extortion?
He was coerced and extorted into the plea.

House Intelligence Transcripts: Top Obama Officials saw no Russian Collusion
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/intel-transcripts-obama-officials-no-empirical-evidence-trump-russia-collusion
“I never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or someone in it was plotting/conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election,” former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testified in 2017.
“The transcripts show a total lack of evidence, despite Schiff personally going out saying he had more than circumstantial evidence that there was collusion”
"Mueller, similarly, at the conclusion of his nearly two-year-long investigation, said he and his team found no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia..."
A lawyer would say that there was no predication to continue based on the lack of evidence. Or more simply put, they didn't have any evidence to support a warrant... a warrant to have the U.S. go through over two years of Russia Collusion Conspiracy and the Mueller Investigation.
