Pompeo’s Latest Iran Scheme

Well, it’s an article by David Sanger in the New York Times, so who knows if a single word of it is true.

But what it says is that the U.S. plans on reentering the Iran nuclear deal of 2015, just to try to force a “snap-back” of the UN sanctions regime and ban on conventional weapons sales to Iran, get this, in the name of Iran deliberately exceeding some of the limitations on their enrichment program in response to the U.S. breaking the deal first — something they’re actually allowed to do in the deal.

Then again, Pompeo is who he is, so it’s no surprise.

Libertarians, Other Decent People: Let Non-Violent Prisoners Out Due to Coronavirus: Govt.: Nope, We Rather Let Rapists Out Instead

NYC man released from Rikers Island over coronavirus arrested on new rape charge.

A Brooklyn man was arrested Saturday for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman just 10 days after he was released from Rikers Island over concerns about the spread of the coronavirus behind bars, according to a report.

Robert Pondexter, 57, was being held at the notorious New York City prison on a separate rape charge when he was released.

He was charged Saturday with attempted rape and sexual assault among other offenses, the New York Post reported, citing anonymous police sources. …

The caller told police a man had been walking across the street from a supportive housing development when he allegedly grabbed a 58-year-old woman whom he did not know by the collar and pulled her into a school parking lot.

The woman told officers he forced her to perform oral sex and demanded that she remove her pants before she was able to kick away from him. She was transported to a local hospital. …

Pondexter was released from Rikers Island on April 15 as part of the facility’s effort to improve social distancing and prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Post reported. He had been held for allegedly raping a different woman who he used drugs with.

Daniel McCarthy: Why Biden’s America Loves A Lockdown

Daniel McCarthy at The Spectator

Their is growing divide in America between the professional class represented by the people that work in government, at universities and in the corporate boardroom; and the American working class.  The professional American class is becoming increasingly narrow minded and authoritarian. They call for extended lock downs, forced testing of the entire U.S. population, tracing people through new technology and they seem to care less about the lives of small business/working people that they are destroying. Question their wisdom and righteousness and they shut you down – how dare you question us!

“Non-elite Americans are not expected to exercise any liberty here: to question authority or offer their own thoughts (thought crimes as far as Facebook is concerned); to assemble to petition their masters; to freely exercise their religion. Though the elite may say such rights are universal, for the sake of slapping a moral veneer on war, when these rights are put to the test under stressful conditions at home, Americans are supposed to surrender them without debate. If you really believe that Americans are or ought to be so obedient, you can’t also believe that freedom is a universal human desire. Not unless ‘freedom’ only means ‘doing exactly what people like me want you to do.’”
