NYC Commission on Human Rights Outlaws Hair and Hairstyle-Based Discrimination
48
On Monday, the New York City Human Rights Commission released new guidelines protecting New Yorkers from being discriminated due to their hair texture or style. The guidance gives New Yorkers the right to “maintain natural hair or hairstyles that are closely associated with their racial, ethnic or cultural identities” and classifies any attempt to single people out based on their hair or hairstyle as racial discrimination. The protections apply to everyone but were prompted largely by what the commission calls “racist stereotypes that black hairstyles are unprofessional....

62
NEW YORK – February 20, 2019 World trade volumes continue to decline as economic growth has slowed in recent months in many countries. A quarterly leading indicator of world merchandise trade slumped to its lowest reading in nine years on Tuesday. As noted in the World Trade Organization, the key components of world trade continue to show negative dynamics. Since October 2018, the WTO has noted a noticeable decline in the general indicator of world trade, as well as its components - export orders, the volume of air cargo transportation, sales of cars, electronics and ra...
The Polarization of the Political System Weakens US Economic Stability
93
NEW YORK – February 19, 2019 Proposals such as the New Green Deal, “free healthcare for all,” and other similar measures by the Democratic Party that have recently gained popularity among voters reflect the growth of populist sentiment in the US and portend the turbulence of the further economic course of the White House. In recent years, increasingly different proposals for the redistribution of income have been heard in the US. A sharp increase in taxes on wealthy Americans, the separation of large financial companies into smaller structures, limiting the repurchase o...

80
NEW YORK – February 19, 2019 Statistics on retail sales in the US in December shocked analysts - instead of the expected growth of 0.2%, there was a fall of 1.2% (the worst figure in 9 years). Some experts said that this figure is wrong, and some that it’s a sign of a quick recession: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/14/retail-sales-were-so-bad-its-either-suspect-or-a-recession-warning.html Data from the US Department of Commerce came out with a delay due to the government's shutdown and did not coincide with some other indicators. Data for January is also delayed. However...
"White Is Stupid ...": Аnti-White Racism Epidemic Spreads to Europe
100
NEW YORK - February 18, 2019 We live in an era of black racism. In the US, and in Europe too, white people have long been oppressed, becoming a minority in some places. It is completely unacceptable to be a white racist in the US: To make even the mildest statement about the races not being the same is an act of political and professional suicide. Meanwhile, black racism is such a significant phenomenon that dissertations are even being written about it. In this context, the article by Gilles William Goldnadel in “Le Figaro," in which he comments on the statements of th...
G-10, Or Who Manages the Bank for International Settlements
123
NEW YORK – February, 14, 2019 The most important principle in the world of finance is secrecy. Information about certain decisions, about specific operations, about the plans of financial institutions, about their situation is hidden not only from ordinary citizens, but also from state institutions with control rights. The world of finance is a second reality, a parallel world that is increasingly influencing our daily lives, the first reality. And the stricter secrecy is, the greater the effectiveness of this influence. The textbooks on economics usually name only two i...

Why MeToo Is About More Than Sexual Harassment
6468
NEW YORK – February 6, 2019 Despite that over the past seven years more than 60 students at Yale University have filed complaints of sexual harassment, only five accused have been expelled from the institution, according to Business Insider. As it turns out, the problem of sexual harassment and violence is not only at Yale University, but almost all over the United States. Statistics of harassment on campuses show that this problem must be fought immediately. For example, one in five girls is the victim of attempted or actual rape at an educational institution. In addit...
Muslim Patrol: First Signs of the US’s Destruction
263
NEW YORK – February 5, 2019 Do you think it could only apply to Europe? Even today, you can see how a small Muslim community is gradually being introduced into the US security system. The self-funded group sees itself as a district watch. And despite a wave of resentment and anxiety, patrol cars have already been spotted in Brooklyn for no reason. One of the patrol members Maeen Ali openly said he's consumed only by thoughts of his four children's safety. This explains a lot when Muslims unite to protect their children and the community as a whole. This makes a big dif...
