“On January 20, 2020 the US & South Korea both discovered their first cases of COVID-19. “However, nine months later, the novel Coronavirus has claimed the lives of over 200,000 Americans and caused staggering economic damage... latimes.com/entertainment-…
“...while in South Korea, there were no significant lockdowns and, in an urbanized population of 51 million, only 344 lives have been lost. Where did we go wrong?”
The documentary promises “damning testimony from public health officials and hard investigative reporting” and aims to expose “a system-wide collapse caused by a profound dereliction of Presidential leadership.”
The documentary was made in secrecy over the last five months with Alex Gibney and co-directors Ophelia Harutyunyan and Suzanne Hillinger interviewing scientists, medical professionals and government officials “on the inside.”
Gibney won the documentary feature #Oscar for his 2007 ‘Taxi to the Dark Side’ & won critical acclaim for his exposés of @Scientology ‘Going Clear’ & @theranos ‘The Inventor’ & @netflix food docuseries ‘Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat’ & 2017 @RollingStones live concert film. @latimes

“In my six decades in public service, I’ve seen many changes..,Yet the most profound change...is also the saddest. It is the complete collapse in respect for virtually every institution of government and an unprecedented cynicism about the nobility of public service itself.”
“155 years after the Emancipation Proclamation and less than two years after our first African American president left office, racism still remains a part of our national life...let’s imagine the American system we might have if the better angels of our nature were to prevail.”
“because of an 18th-century political deal, those 20 states have 40 senators, while California has just two. These sparsely populated, usually conservative states can block legislation supported by a majority of the American people. That’s just plain crazy.”

@SecPompeo History will judge the U.S. government and the @WorldBank's unjust intervention to deny 110 million Ethiopians an “equitable and reasonable” share of the Nile River for their development needs. @RPCoalition 1
@SecPompeo This is nothing short of condemning a black African nation and her population to abject and perpetual poverty. No one should condemn Egypt to suffer unduly, considering that 97% of its population depends on the Nile River. @RPCoalition 2
@SecPompeo Justice requires treating both nations and their 200 million + people fairly with justice the result on #bothsides. Avg world per capita electric power consumption = 3,133 kw Egypt = 1,683 Ethiopia = 69 kw. 3

Gadseel and Jose Quiñonez are among dozens of people who county prosecutors say were falsely labeled as gang members or associates by Officers Braxton Shaw, Michael Coblentz & Nicolas Martinez. All 3 are with the LAPD’s elite Metropolitan Division. ⁦ latimes.com/california/sto…
When Gadseel asked why they had been stopped, @lapdmetro said they LOOKED like gang members and that they’d HEARD rumors he was carrying a weapon, he recalled. Eventually, his boss at the recycling plant came out and spoke with the officers. They let the brothers go.
According to a complaint filed by county prosecutors, Shaw, partnered with Martinez, filled out two field interview cards on July 30, 2018, that FALSELY LABELED a “Gadseel Q.” as an MS-13 gang member nicknamed “Squealer,” and a “Jose Q.” as an MS-13 gang member dubbed “Sneaks.”

...she halted in the middle of the street at about 1:45 a.m. She stood calmly, a surreal image of human vulnerability in the face of an overpowering force that has been criticized nationally by civil rights advocates... latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Before it was over, she struck ballet poses and reclined on the street. She also sat on the asphalt in a yoga-like position, facing officers, before they left...
Portland has long been loved, or mocked, for its streak of earnest but quirky organic earthiness, as portrayed in the “Portlandia” television comedy series. Sometimes the envelope-pushing forms of expression involve nudity.
