2…………> COVID-19 Economic Hara-kiri: Japan Biggest Slump Ever?
.
Reduced industrial demand from around the world pushed Japan into recession, following two successive quarters of economic contraction, due to the biggest declines, and its worst performance since 1955, one of the main factors behind the slump being a severe decrease in domestic consumption, which accounts for more than half of country’s economy.
The downturn puts further pressure on a Japanese economy that was already struggling with the effects of a sales tax hike to 10% last year, along with typhoon Hagibis, as the world’s third largest economy saw gross domestic product fall 7.8% in April-June from the previous quarter, or 27.8% on an annualized basis.

3…………> Counterfeit Goods Smugglers Nabbed: ICE Homeland Security Investigations Good Works
.
NEWARK, Calif. – On July 15, 2020, Hang “Henry” Chen, an employee of CBK, CBK International, and Silicon Electronics, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge James Donato to four months incarceration with three-years supervised release, a $75,000 fine, and restitution up to $137,000.
Chen’s co-defendant, co-conspirator, and owner of CBK and associated companies, Lixiong “John” Chen 45, a citizen of China, fled justice by boarding a flight a day before his trial to Beijing, China, via Tijuana, Mexico. Lixiong Chen was previously indicted September 20, 2018, for violations of Title 18 USC 545, (Smuggling Goods into the United States) and 18 USC 2320(a) (Trafficking in Counterfeit Goods). An INTERPOL Wanted Person Diffusion Red Notice for Lixiong Chen has been issued and he remains at large.
“These peddlers of counterfeit items were stealing profits from legitimate companies and their hardworking employees, who are trying to earn a living to provide for their families,” said HSI San Francisco (NorCal) Special Agent in Charge Tatum King.
“The results of this operation were achieved through HSI’s interagency partnership with local, state and federal law enforcement, and the prosecutorial tenacity of the U.S. Attorney’s Northern District of California Office.”

4…………> Trump To Pardon Women’s Voting Pioneer Susan B. Anthony
.
Making the announcement on the centennial anniversary of the 19th amendment, which granted US women the right to vote, President Trump said he will issue a posthumous pardon for women’s voting rights pioneer Susan B. Anthony:
“She was never pardoned. What took so long?”
Anthony was arrested in 1872 after illegally casting her vote, later convicted of illegal voting in her home state of New York by an all-male jury, and died 14 years before the 19th amendment was ratified on 18 August, 1920.
“Women dominate the United States – I think we can say that very strongly,” he said, noting that there are now a record number of women serving in Congress.
His announcement comes as Mr. Trump tries to win over suburban women voters, who polls show have been moving away from him since 2016:
“She was proud of her arrest to draw attention to the cause for women.”

5…………> 3rd Curse Besides Locust Invasion & COVID-19: The Pine Beetles
.
A locust invasion has been sweeping parts of East Africa and South Asia this year, leading to food shortages across the region, and now comes the bad news that more than seven hundred million cubic meters of trees were wiped out in British Columbia by mountain pine beetles, a tiny species native to North American forests, as decades-worth of lumber supplies are being eradicated across the world as a result of the pest’s invasion. With around 2.2 million hectares having already been affected by beetles, the outbreak is expected to continue for the next six years.
The tiny creature, just 5mm in length, was once part of the forest cycle, but as winters grew warmer due to climate change, the beetles were able to survive in greater numbers and chew through tree bark, with flowing resin attracting even more of them. As a result, with thousands of the insects eating on the trees and laying their eggs inside, hundreds of millions of pines across Canada’s timber-rich region were doomed to die. British Columbia is Canada’s largest supplier of logs to the United States, Bloomberg notes, with the beetle plague eventually signaling potential shortages for both the American and global housing market.
