The 50 most violent cities in the world are revealed, with 21 of them in Brazil... but Venezuela's capital Caracas is named the most deadly

 

  • Latin America is home to 41 of the 50 most dangerous cities in the world
  • Caracas in Venezuela is now the most violent, according to homicide rate
  • Took the top spot from San Pedro Sula, in Honduras, now in second place
  • Drug trafficking, gang wars, political instability and corruption are blamed
  • U.S. cities St Louis, Baltimore, Detroit and New Orleans are also named 

Although the list is almost entirely made up of cities in Latin America, it also features Cape Town, in South Africa, in ninth place; St Louis, in Missouri, in 15th; Baltimore, Maryland, in 19th; Detroit, Michigan, in 28th; New Orleans, in Louisiana, in 32nd; Kingston in Jamaica in 33rd; Durban, South Africa, in 41st; Nelson Mandela Bay, in South Africa, in 42nd; and Johannesburg, South Africa, in 47th.

About the only thing Chicago does extremely well these days is spill blood.

 

The street gangs pull the triggers at ever increasing rates and mock the police. I hear stories of gangbangers in cars screeching their tires, driving doughnuts on the pavement with squad cars nearby, the riders leering, daring, mocking the cops who sit there.

 

That kind of thing doesn't make the news. But neighborhoods have eyes. The people see. They know what it means. The thugs are fearless now.

 

As of Monday, there have been at least 215 homicides in Chicago, according to the Tribune's count. As of the same date in 2015, there had been 134 homicides.

 

As of the same date, there had been at least 1,240 people shot in Chicago this year, versus 735 last year, according to Tribune data.

The 20 year downtrend in violence is over.

Circa 1870, the North fought the South in the Civil War. Half a century later, around 1920, worker unrest, racial tensions and anti-Communist sentiment caused another nationwide upsurge of violence. Then, 50 years later, the Vietnam War and Civil Rights Movement triggered a third peak in violent political, social and racial conflict. Fifty years after that will be 2020. If history continues to repeat itself, we can expect a violent upheaval in the United States in a few years.


 

 

 

Dallas mass shooting is the deadliest attack on law enforcement since 9/11 

  • Gunmen launched sniper attack shooting 12 police officers in Dallas, Texas
  • At least five law enforcement officials died in the 'ambush style' onslaught
  • It is the deadliest toll on US officers since 9/11 attack on Twin Towers

The amount of drugs looted from Baltimore pharmacies during the Freddie Gray riots last year was substantially higher than initially reported


Gray, 25, died in April 2015 after suffering a severe spinal cord injury in police custody. On the day of his funeral, 27 pharmacies and two methadone clinics were looted.


Nearly 315,000 doses of drugs were stolen, the DEA reported. More than 40 percent were Schedule II opioids, a class that includes methadone, oxycodone and fentanyl.

As civil society crumbles,  flash mob loots Apple store

 

Make no mistake, we are sliding toward something like a third-world urban reality, with street violence frequent and law enforcement unwilling or unable to do much about it.  In certain Latin American, Asian, and African cities, stores containing valuables have bars, locked entrances, and armed guards.  Those with enough money hire armed guards and lie behind walls with barbed wire at the top.

 

There are powerful forces attacking the legitimacy of the civil order of the United States.  Black Lives Matter is merely the newest visible component of the effort, but efforts are underway to release into the population violent criminals, to dispute the legitimacy of criminal convictions based on the group rights theory of “disparate impact,” to shackle police tactics, to incite mob violence against police, and to devastate morale and hamper recruitment.

Changing solar activity is said to affect human behavior.

"The next cycle is set to peak in 2022, and the cycle after, known as Cycle 26, will herald a new ice age."

 

Earth faces another ICE AGE within 15 YEARS

A new model has allowed experts to predict solar activity with more accuracy than ever before and it suggests that magnetic activity will fall by 60 per cent between 2030 and 2040.

Dynamo effects are a geophysical theory that dictate how the movement of the Earth’s outer core conducts materials like liquid iron across the magnetic field to create an electric current – this also influences fluid motion beneath Earth’s surface to create two magnetic fields along the axis of the Earth’s rotation.

Valentina Zharkova from Northumbria University applied this theory to the Sun, and was able to predict the affects of solar cycles with 97 per cent accuracy.

The total number of homicides in 2015 was 15,696. Blacks were about 52 percent of homicide victims.  8,100 black lives were ended violently, and over 90 percent of the time, the perpetrator was another black.

 

In 2015, police shot and killed 986 people. 495 were white (50 percent), 258 were black (26 percent) and 172 Hispanic (17 percent). The odds of a black suspect’s being killed by a black police officer were consistently greater than a black suspect’s getting killed by a white officer. Politicians, race hustlers and the news media keep such studies under wraps because these studies don’t help their narrative about racist cops.

 

Politicians who call for law and order are often viewed negatively, but poor people are the most dependent on law and order. In the face of high crime or social disorder, wealthier people can afford to purchase alarm systems, buy guard dogs, hire guards and, if things get too bad, move to a gated community. These options are not available to poor people. The only protection they have is an orderly society.

White professor forced to flee campus as police say he’s not safe 

 

Evergreen State College biology professor Bret Weinstein was targeted by vitriolic and aggressive student protests against him this week after he refused to leave campus during a so-called “Day of Absence.”  

 

It was a day in which white people were told to stay away from campus so students of color could have a safe space to powwow and commiserate. 

 

Videos of these protests show a bunch of mostly white students yelling at this white professor for not leaving campus on the no-whites day. Wrap your head around that.

 

Things have quickly escalated. Yesterday Weinstein was forced to hold class off-campus because police say they cannot protect him, he told a local TV news station.

Nationally the homicide rate is up over 20% since 2014, the year of Ferguson and Black Lives Matter. That’s over 4,400 more dead bodies in the last two years of the Obama Administration 

 

The biggest increases in homicides have typically been seen where BLM has had its biggest successes, such as Baltimore and Chicago. 

That’s 1,000 more dead bodies than all the blacks lynched in U.S. history  

 

It seems pretty obvious that the murder bulge has been concentrated among blacks killing blacks, especially in cities where Black Lives Matter was active and successful at discouraging cops. In both Baltimore and Chicago, for example, the increase in murders started the same week as BLM protests.
