Haitians are protesting to kick out corrupt president Jovenel Moise, who was imposed by the US using a fake election.

The thugs are becoming reluctant to shoot the protesters.

The UK government has apologized for telling a 90-year-old man that he had to go to the US to apply for a visa to live there with his wife. It says that it discovered he had had permission to live in the UK since long ago, and that it had somehow lost track of this fact.

That is good for him, but you can see they are preserving their option to be equally nasty to someone else.

China tells New Zealand that Chinese tourists are canceling visits to New Zealand, presenting this as their spontaneous decision.

I don't know whether there is really a decrease in Chinese visits to New Zealand, but China could easily cause that to happen by deducting "social credit" from anyone who goes there.

The totalitarian system of "social credit" is meant to convert everyone in China into a part of a social organism resembling an ant colony. It hasn't entirely reached that point, as of yet, but no aspect of Chinese people's behavior can be presumed to be decided by the people themselves.

I wonder how many points of "social credit" you lose in China currently if you go to New Zealand.
