  Russell for all intents and purposes was a Zionist and people with that mindset tended to be very progressive and tolerant.

  Rutherford was a different story entirely.

  below is a link to a peer reviewed paper by virologists and vaccine experts birger sørensen and angus dalgleish.

  according to the study, which was published in the quarterly review of biophysics, the coronavirus’s spike protein contains sequences that appear to be artificially inserted.

  to my knowledge, this is the first solid piece of evidence that this pandemic may have been man-made.. (emphasis on "may" --i'm sure this is not the last word on the subject).

  Thanks for the additional links, AA. I've found Google translate to be below horrible with anything more than short declarative sentences, but I understand the gist of the two articles.

  The pyramid chart is apparently the invention of assistant professor Erin Stutelberg at Salisbury University in Maryland.

  Stutelberg teaches a one credit course called Diversity and the Self which is requirement for elementary education majors.

  The chart was meant to be controversial; it was meant to spark discussion in the classroom.

  In the words of Dr. Stutelberg herself:

  "I don't think there is anything unusual or unique about controversial images or materials being used in classes to stimulate thinking and discussion. This was one of several tools used."

  The problem here and elsewhere is that the chart is being presented outside of that context as something definitive.

  It's not.

  In addition to the idiotic idea that Dr. Martin Luther King's' ideology of judging people by their character is somehow racist, the notion of a "White savior complex" is openly racist itself inasmuch as it is a "condition" predicated upon a person's skin color.

  I guess poor Anja here just doesn't know she's really a racist:

  Okay, somebody explain, "White Savior Complex"

  A cursory Google search conveys the impression that every white person who volunteered for the Peace Corp would be included...

  Cofty, if I'm not mistaken, was referring to the Peelian principle.

  Would You Like To See Your Police Departments “Defunded”?

  do you think it’s a good idea?.

  Definitely no.

  Departments that feel the need to buy a real military tank should probably spend their money more wisely though.

  Because the two gentlemen do not say it in those terms. They use the term, "Chimeric" in the paper.

  Finkelstein
  

  So if a terrorist started shooting up people in night club with a AR-15 with a high capacity mag attached, you would expect the police to take that terrorist down with their single shot hand guns ?

  As I said, more potent weaponry was broken out only when the need arose. For years and years and years this was the policy and it sufficed.

  Your scenario above is a far cry from a half dozen officers serving a search warrant in full riot gear and real M4's; shooting the family pets as a matter of course and tossing flash bangs into rooms occupied by nobody but children.

  I don't want to pollute this thread with bloody and graphic videos of what I'm talking about so instead will quote from a perspective piece written by Officer Patrick Skinner, a former CIA operations officer and current police officer in Savannah, GA:

  -----------------------------
  

  "When I left the CIA, I no longer wanted to fight our “war on terror.” For seven years after the 9/11 attacks, I served as an operations officer in the CIA counterterrorism center. My role in our efforts overseas was small but left a large impression on me: We were creating more tensions and threats than we countered or mitigated."
  

  "I’m now a cop in my hometown, Savannah, Ga., and I don’t want to fight another war — our “war on crime.” But I’m not going anywhere. I’m just speaking up, to propose that we end what never was a war to begin with. We need to change our mind-set about what it means to “police” in America."
  

  "For decades, the United States has funded and created police departments that resemble occupying military forces, unable to protect and serve. We armed ourselves literally and spiritually for a war on crime, and to quote Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, “And the war came.” What we now see deployed in many cities and towns is anti-policing. It’s the death of true community police work and, too often, the death of our neighbors. The well-documented militarization of American police departments has inevitably produced officers who see themselves and their roles as “warriors” or “punishers” or “sheepdogs.” Much of what our society finds so distressing and unacceptable in police interactions with their neighbors — disrespect, anger, frustration and violence — is not a result of “flawed” training; it’s a result of training for war."
  

  "So I began my career as a local cop by calling people my neighbors, in my reports and in my conversations. I approached every 911 call from that space and mind-set. I still do. As I handled more and more calls for service, I began to savor the differences between my job as a CIA operations officer overseas in our war on terror and now as a local cop in what I was refusing to accept was a war on crime."
  

  "Refusing to fight this war on crime has, improbable as it seems at age 49, become the fight of my life. And I am not alone. Because my neighbors are not just the point of being a local cop; they are how I can be a local cop. It is their consent that enables me. It is their trust that empowers me. And it is our truth that drives me: that we all matter, or none of us do."
