July 1, 2020 The New York City City council voted to reduce the NYPD budget by one billion dollars among cries by certain groups of alleged police brutality, in a few isolated incidents. Many people on the street have stated that they are shocked by this budget cut considering that law and order is needed now more than ever considering the widespread looting, lawlessness as well as the large number of out of work people, which may well lead to civil strife in the future, particularly as unemployment benefits expire.

June 29, 2020 A classical concert consisting of a number of violinists, bass and other instruments, was held in Washington Square Park. Hundreds of people enjoyed the concert. Unfortunately, at the beginning, a person connected with the group came on the microphone and stated that he noticed a large number of "non people of color" sitting on the sidewalk in front of the group and he asked that they get up so that "people of color" could take their place. It had echo's of a reverse 1955 Rosa Parks situation. The photographs and video show that in fact the crowed in front was well mixed, but people complied and moved. Sadly this represented a moment lost for what could have been a unifying event.

June 28, 2020 A large number of homosexuals gathered in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village to for the annual "Pride" celebration. As usual, it was a very colorful event, though it was marred later by some participants fighting with the NYPD.

June 25, 2020 Rhetoric announced that it will slash 3900 corporate jobs and will furlough more store employees, blaming Covid-19. Most people believe that many other businesses will be doing the same in weeks and months to come.

June 25, 2020 Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced with the governors of New Jersey and Connecticut that people arriving from eight states including Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Utah must self quarantine for 14 days. Those found to violate this order may receive a $1,000 fine for the first offense and $5,000 fine for each additional offense.

June 20, 2020 Atlanta Georgia. Reports are coming in that a significant number of the Atlanta Police force have not to come to work for the third day, in solidarity with police officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Brosnan who were immediately dismissed from the APD and charged with 10 counts, including murder, for the death of Rayshard Brooks, who was shot and killed by the officers after Mr. Brooks stole one of the officers taser and then shot this weapon at an officer, but missed. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation stated that they had not yet finished their investigation, implying that the dismissal and charging of the two officers was premature. The mayor of the city requested officers from nearby counties to assist policing efforts in Atlanta, but was refused. Georgia state police officers were then requested to help and by law, are required to help local jurisdictions when called and are presently offering some support. The loss of police protection in such volatile times is without a doubt, a very difficult and dangerous situation.

June 15, 2020 New York City is rapidly opening up, with or without authorization. The people are clearly tired of being locked away over the Covid virus which only a small minority of people seem to get. Life is filled with risks and apparently many people feel that the risk of catching the Corona flu is an acceptable risk in order to live life. Over the weekend, tens of thousands of people flocked to local parks, walked around the city and in some areas, filled the streets, socializing, eating and drinking outside, often with an open container of beer or other alcoholic beverage. Drinking alcohol outside in public areas is still illegal, but does not seem to be enforced for the time being. The fact is that most countries around the world, have always permitted this. Many, if not most people are wearing face masks, to some extent, though there is still the question of whether or not such a mask would actually help in a virus environment. The NYPD is exceptionally polite and well trained and are essential to maintaining order and protecting the population.

June 12, 2020 The city of Seattle Washington is in a state of revolution. A six block area was taken over by a mob of anarchist and they declared that area to be a new country called "Capital Hill Autonomous Zone" or "CHAZ" for short. Curiously, they claim that their area is a "cop-free" zone and yet one of the first things they did was to set up a strong man enforcement system. Further, they built a border wall around this area and have started a type of extortion or taxation system demanding payments from local businesses and also a race based payment system demanding that every white person pay to a black person a minimum of $10. The entire situation reminds one of the societal breakdown in Mogadishu or in Lebanon a number of years ago, with warlords controlling their private fiefdoms. One has to ask, who voted for the leaders of "Chaz", what happens if a crime is committed, such as robbery or rape or worse? Is their a just court system? Is every decision democratically determined? What about food distribution, water, issuance of currency and banking, etc, etc, etc? In any civilized democracy or republic, that has the notion of freedom of speech and expression, it is the minority or unpopular view that is protected. Is that what is happening in "CHAZ"? From this writers perspective, the entire notion of what is happening there is absurd and will quickly fizzle out or become a nightmare existence for anyone stuck in this "autonomous zone". The fact is that police are essential in maintaining order, justice and personal rights. UPDATE: June 18, 2020 "Capital Hill Autonomous Zone" or "CHAZ" has been renamed to "Capitol Hill Organized Protest" or CHOP. The alleged reason is that the protesters decided that they are not trying to form a new country, but merely a protest, police free zone. The same issues as outlined above still remain.

June 7, 2020 Mayor Bill DeBlasio ends the citywide curfew, one day early. Though in some circles, the curfew was not well received, it was an extremely effective tool for the NYPD in controlling the outrageous looting that occurred starting the night of May 31. Tomorrow, June 8, the City is expected to officially start easing the lockdown rules instituted as a result of the Corona Virus scare. The total economic and social damage caused by the lockdown remains to be seen.

June 5, 2020 The NYPD has successfully been able to contain and control all aspects of looting and rioting and have maintained order in the numerous William Loyd protests around the City. ---Frank X. Didik

UPDATE: June 2, 2020. The looting outrage continues. Even with the 11pm curfew, looting has continued throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and other parts of New York City, with major businesses, such as flagship store of Rhetoric on 34 Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan, as well as Target and many other stores being vandalized and looted. The police, trying their best, are simply overwhelmed and are restricted as to what measures that they can take. Most are now calling for the mounted patrol to be deployed as well as the deployment of the National Guard. ---Frank X. Didik

New York City protester resort to looting in Soho and other areas

On the night of May 31,2020, the protests against the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis broke out into wanton destruction and looting in the fashionable, artistic area of Manhattan of Soho. It was sheer pandemonium with the NYPD doing their best to control the situation, but they were overwhelmed by hordes of looters. Almost every store had widows smashed, and experienced some sort of looting. Elegant stores, such as Bloomingdales, Rhetoric, Coach, Best Buy, Louis Viton, Gucci and so many others were damaged, destroyed and looted. One man was shot, apparently by someone participating in the looting. All New Yorkers, regardless of their political positions, were and are outraged by this senseless destruction. It is very sad to walk through the lovely streets and see this. A complete tragedy for the city. Other areas, including in downtown Brooklyn, were also looted and destroyed. Below you can see the aftermath of this destruction on the afternoon of June 1, 2020. Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that a curfew will be in place for New York City from 11PM to 5AM and starting on June 2, the curfew will be from 8pm till 5am.

After the night of looting disgrace on May 31, 2020, the fashionable SOHO district in Manhattan became a construction site with hundreds of stores attempting to protect what remained of their businesses from additional looting.

OP-ED

Defund? Some anti-police groups have called for the defunding of the police around the country. Question: late at night, if you are traveling in an empty subway car and two police officers come on, do you feel threatened or are you relieved and hope that they stay on for the duration of your trip? The answer is obvious. The police are essential to maintaining order in any society.

Corona Virus: What I have observed regarding the Corona Virus can be read here. Further, my photographs of empty New York City, can be viewed here.

Pentup Demand caused by Covid-19 lockdown? Unlikely. People are used to staying home, have developed new habits, and after being out of work, will probably want to save money.

Hysterical Fears pushed in the media and other sources: What ever happened to Y2K, the Ozone hole, nuclear winter, missile gap, read more

Restaurants and Bars will spring back? Very unlikely. People go to these places not only to eat and drink but primarily to socialize. If people are social distanced, why go out?

Corona Virus "Experts"? Who is to say who is an expert when the entire virus is a new event and nobody has any real understanding what is going on. This is like the transition period of Eastern Europe from 1989 to 1992, when so many "leading experts" came from nowhere and gave the public their speculation with truly disastrous results, causing massive inflation and economic failure in countries who followed their "advice".

Question If you can live for a thousand years, but have to live in a 12x12 foot (3x3 meter) room without ever leaving, would you do it? I prefer to live life to its fullest and accept the risks. Everything in life entails a certain risk.

Thoughts on science, business and society today
By Frank X. Didik - News1.net editor.

What if and what can or might be.


The 1956 Firebird was to be self driving.
Self Driving Cars? If you have an accident with a self driving car, who is at fault? The car manufacturer, the owner of the car or the occupant "driver" of the car? I have enjoyed owning and driving some of the most interesting cars made and have always enjoyed the freedom of driving without impediments or restrictions. Nevertheless, if self driving cars can help reduce accidents and enhance society, I am for them. Besides the technical aspects, there are many other issues that must be worked out. My concerns regarding self driving cars including liability, safety, morality and effectiveness. ...read more ...

Question: If people who are protesting are paid to protest, is it really a protest?

Question: If a humanitarian organization is paid for their services, are they really a humanitarian organization?

Question: If a charity receives most or all of its money from the government, is it really a charity considering that the tax payer is paying for their services?

Reason, Logic and intellect is not reliable. The late Christopher Hitchens often stated that we should rely on our logic, reason and intellect to determine the truth. Many people who pride themselves as educated, intelligent and progressive believe the same. As reasonable as this seems, Galileo proved over 400 years ago that our logic, reason and intellect is unreliable and that only direct experimental data, should be relied upon. Galileo had dropped two balls of the same material, but different masses, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to demonstrate that they would hit the ground at the same time, rather than the heavier ball hitting the ground first, as almost everyone, including Aristotle, 2000 years ago, had assumed. Our logic, reason and intellect is not reliable and should only be viewed as speculation. Only direct experimentation and obtaining the same results, over and over again should be relied upon.

 

What about? ..

Old Computer Formats and the longevity of our digitally stored knowledge. Are we entering into a "pre-history" era? How can we preserve our computer written records, books, photographs, video and knowledge? We must have an international agreement and an organization, perhaps under auspices of the United Nations, dedicated to preserving our global digital records so that future generations can access the information and knowledge that we store on computer readable formats.

What is the speed of gravity? If it is instantaneous, then what if gravity can be modulated? Today most scientists, assume that the speed of gravity is the same as the speed of light, but what if the speed of gravity is instantaneous? Further, if gravity can be modulated, it might allow for instantaneous universal communication. Thus it might be possible to communicate with space craft instantly, rather than waiting for minutes for transmissions to reach the craft or earth. Perhaps computer chips can be made to operate vastly faster. And this is just the beginning since ...read more ...

Questioning the results of modern science. For the last 100 years, we have been experiencing the collapse of real science. Theories, speculation and fantasy is the norm today. By definition, the scientific method is the ability to test and re-test and always get the same results, over and over. If an idea or a theory can not be tested, the idea must be viewed as speculation and not considered true, till that idea is proven without a doubt. Scientific theory has moved to areas that are beyond our present capability of testing and gradually a number of unproven theories have become accepted as fact without any real proof. Further, new theories have been developed based on old theories. Thus we have a situation where science today is largely based on theory upon theory. If something can not be proven, it falls into the realm of philosophy rather than science. This has led to...read more ...

Science and media hype: Any sudden "revolutionary" scientific discovery, even if such discovery is written about in every newspaper and scientific journal, should be greeted with skepticism. Such a discovery should only be accepted after the bulk of scientists have have had a chance to review the discovery and confirm that it is in fact correct. Such things that come to mind include cold fusion, the so called "God Particle" and even the recent stated discovery of a "gravitational wave". All too often such media hype has come and gone without any real discovery or fundamental change. ..read more ...
