humansarefree--2020-10-03--Alexa, Amazon Echo, Google Home: Police Are Requesting Data from Smart Speakers at an Alarming Rate

Remember all those conspiracy theorists and Luddites who told you they didn ’ t want Echo or Alexa devices in their home because those gadgets were spying on them ?
Well , they were right .
That ’ s not even up for debate .
If you were one of those friends who mocked them and called them crazy , you were wrong .
Just admit it .
If you are bewildered by what you just read , please , read on .
Nearly ten years ago , writers like Brandon Turbeville and others were warning that “ smart technology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” were being developed for surveillance and manipulation purposes .
( Despite the companies ’ claims of greater convenience . )
We ’ ve been in a virtual dragnet for years .
Those devices and technologies are ubiquitous and are being used to soak up data , private and personal conversations , interactions , and even movement .
All of this openly discussed in mainstream outlets .
Lately , this website has reported on the Nest , your phone ’ s location tracker , and other “ smart ” technology .
We ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have “ surveillance scores.
“ Take a look at WIRED ’ s article by Sidney Fussell , “ Meet the Star Witness : Your Smart Speaker.
” In this article , Fussell details a murder case in which an Amazon Echo device was presented as evidence .
In July 2019 , police rushed to the home of 32-year-old Silvia Galva .
Galva ’ s friend , also in the home , called 911 , claiming she overheard a violent argument between Galva and her boyfriend , 43-year-old Adam Crespo .
The two lived @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about 20 miles from Miami .
When officers arrived , Galva was dead , impaled through her chest by the 12-inch blade at the sharp end of a bedpost .
Police believe Crespo tried to drag Galva from their bed .
She held onto the bedpost to resist , but the sharp end snapped , somehow killing her .
Police charged Crespo with second-degree murder .
He pleaded not guilty and was released on $ 65,000 bail , awaiting trial .
In the months since the arrest , Crespo ’ s lawyer has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his defense : recordings from a pair of Amazon Echo speakers .
“ I had a lot of interviews where people said , ‘ Oh , are you aware that this could be the first time Alexa recordings are going to be used to convict somebody of murder ?
’ ” says Christopher O ’ Toole , Crespo ’ s lawyer .
“ And I actually thought of it the opposite way , that this could be the first time an Amazon Alexa recording is used to exonerate somebody and show that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecutors collect smart home or speaker data , it ’ s typically used as evidence against suspects .
The Hallandale Beach Police Department filed a subpoena for Crespo ’ s speakers , as they may have picked up audio of the argument Galva ’ s friend overheard .
The incident shows the growing role of smart home devices and wearables in police investigations .
In 2016 , police in Bentonville , Arkansas , requested Amazon Echo data in connection with a man ’ s death , believed to be the first such request @ @ @ @ @ @ @ request , but later handed over the data .
A murder charge against the defendant was later dropped , but the speaker , smart home , and wearable data has figured into multiple cases since then .
Requests for smart and wearable data has increased rapidly .
Earlier this month , Amazon said it had received more than 3,000 requests from police for user data in the first half of this year , and complied almost 2,000 times .
That was a 72 percent increase in requests from the same period in 2016 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and a 24 percent jump in the past year alone .
Amazon doesn ’ t provide granular data on what police are seeking , but Douglas Orr , head of the criminal justice department at the University of North Georgia , says police now look for smart home data as routinely as data from smartphones .
Data on a smartphone often points officers towards other devices , which they then probe as the investigation continues .
By amending a search warrant , police can “ keep going to keep collecting data , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leads to an Echo or at least some other device.
” As Orr explains , officers are getting more savvy about smart home devices , creating templates that simplify requesting data .
Police departments often share these templates , he says , tailoring requests for the specifics of the case they ’ re investigating .
Google ’ s Nest unit reported increasing police demands for data from its smart speakers through 2018 .
Google then stopped reporting Nest data separately , including such requests in its broader corporate transparency report , which shows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In their terms of service , most major apps and websites include a clause warning users that companies may hand over their data if requested by the government .

Amazon and Google both notify users of a request for data unless the order itself forbids it .
Any number of entities can request user data , but the companies say they prioritize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like Homeland Security , they ’ re going to take high priority , ” explains Lee Whitfield , a forensic analyst .
“ Other law enforcement requests will come in under that .
And then things like divorce cases or civil cases , they have a lower ranking.

Nearly ten years ago, writers like Brandon Turbeville and others were warning that “smart technology” and the “internet of things” were being developed for surveillance and manipulation purposes. (Despite the companies’ claims of greater convenience.) We’ve been in a virtual dragnet for years.
Those devices and technologies are ubiquitous and are being used to soak up data, private and personal conversations, interactions, and even movement. All of this openly discussed in mainstream outlets. Lately, this website has reported on the Nest, your phone’s location tracker, and other “smart” technology. We’ve even talked about how we all have “surveillance scores.“
Take a look at WIRED’s article by Sidney Fussell, “Meet the Star Witness: Your Smart Speaker.” In this article, Fussell details a murder case in which an Amazon Echo device was presented as evidence.
He writes,
In July 2019, police rushed to the home of 32-year-old Silvia Galva. Galva’s friend, also in the home, called 911, claiming she overheard a violent argument between Galva and her boyfriend, 43-year-old Adam Crespo.

When officers arrived, Galva was dead, impaled through her chest by the 12-inch blade at the sharp end of a bedpost. Police believe Crespo tried to drag Galva from their bed. She held onto the bedpost to resist, but the sharp end snapped, somehow killing her.
Police charged Crespo with second-degree murder. He pleaded not guilty and was released on $65,000 bail, awaiting trial.
In the months since the arrest, Crespo’s lawyer has presented a surprising piece of evidence in his defense: recordings from a pair of Amazon Echo speakers.
“I had a lot of interviews where people said, ‘Oh, are you aware that this could be the first time Alexa recordings are going to be used to convict somebody of murder?’” says Christopher O’Toole, Crespo’s lawyer.
“And I actually thought of it the opposite way, that this could be the first time an Amazon Alexa recording is used to exonerate somebody and show that they’re innocent.”
When police and prosecutors collect smart home or speaker data, it’s typically used as evidence against suspects. The Hallandale Beach Police Department filed a subpoena for Crespo’s speakers, as they may have picked up audio of the argument Galva’s friend overheard.
The incident shows the growing role of smart home devices and wearables in police investigations.
In 2016, police in Bentonville, Arkansas, requested Amazon Echo data in connection with a man’s death, believed to be the first such request.
Amazon initially tried to block the request, but later handed over the data. A murder charge against the defendant was later dropped, but the speaker, smart home, and wearable data has figured into multiple cases since then.

Police departments often share these templates, he says, tailoring requests for the specifics of the case they’re investigating.
Google’s Nest unit reported increasing police demands for data from its smart speakers through 2018.
Google then stopped reporting Nest data separately, including such requests in its broader corporate transparency report, which shows increased requests for Google user data.
In their terms of service, most major apps and websites include a clause warning users that companies may hand over their data if requested by the government.
Law enforcement agencies file subpoenas or search warrants for data, detailing to judges what evidence they expect to find on the devices and how it may serve the investigation.
Amazon and Google both notify users of a request for data unless the order itself forbids it. Any number of entities can request user data, but the companies say they prioritize requests based on urgency.
“Things like Homeland Security, they’re going to take high priority,” explains Lee Whitfield, a forensic analyst.
“Other law enforcement requests will come in under that. And then things like divorce cases or civil cases, they have a lower ranking.”
In an emailed statement, an Amazon spokesperson said the company “objects to overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands” from law enforcement and referred WIRED to its policy on government requests.
A Google spokesperson also referred WIRED to its updated policy on requests.
Forensic experts tell WIRED that information from the devices is valued because it can offer a timeline of a person’s activities, their location, if they’re alone, and can verify statements made during questioning. (…)
Orr has studied the types of data police can pull from smart speakers like the Amazon Echo. “Voice clips are only the beginning,” he says. Speakers keep time-stamped logs of user activity. Police can examine these logs to get a sense of what someone was doing around the time of an alleged crime.
Fussell then provides another example of how these devices are used by law enforcement.
He writes,
Consider a potential suspect who can’t prove where they were at 11 pm on a Thursday, because they live alone. Something as simple as ordering pizza through a speaker would show the time and location of the request and, if voice recognition is enabled, who made the request. “It might be benign information that someone was ordering a pizza, but it might also be an alibi for somebody,” Orr says.
Police increasingly rely on wearables and smart devices to verify the claims people make during an investigation. Sometimes, the tools can reveal a lie.
Heather Mahalik, a forensics instructor, recalls a Florida case in which a man killed his wife, then tried to impersonate her. The husband sent texts and Facebook messages from his wife’s phone in an attempt to blur the timeline of her disappearance.

“We were able to tell from his device that he would pick up the phone, take 18 steps, and it corresponded with the time he posted a Facebook post,” Mahalik says.
Connecting information from multiple devices is a common practice, analysts say. Information on one device can suggest evidence on another. This ability to string together discoveries leads to what another expert calls a phased approach to digital forensics.
“They ask for something, the investigation moves along, they find something else interesting, and then they request the next thing,” says Whitfield, the forensic analyst.
O’Toole, Crespo’s lawyer, says police subpoenaed Crespo’s social media accounts right away, then requested his voice recordings about four weeks later. Officers wrote in the search warrant that the speaker data may include “audio recordings capturing the attack on victim Silvia Crespo.”
O’Toole says he intends to introduce the smart speaker recordings in his client’s favor. Via email, a spokesperson for Hallandale Beach Police confirmed the case was still active but did not provide further comment.

“I just don’t see this going away,” Whitfield says. “I think this is going to be more and more prolific as time goes on.”
Whitfield is right.
It will never go away.
Advertisement of these technological devices as a tool for convenience was a manipulative tactic to introduce technological devices for their real purpose – the tracking, monitoring, and recording of citizens so that no action – no matter how small – goes unnoticed. We are already living in a surveillance state and it’s only going to get worse.
Once begun, this bell cannot be unrung.

‘Political Theater’: Pennsylvania Lawmaker and Governor Caught Joking About Taking Their MASKS OFF Before Speech

Pennsylvania State Representative Wendy Ullman and Governor Tom Wolf were caught joking off camera about taking their masks off just before they spoke at a press conference touting the need to defend Obamacare during Covid-19 .
Just as Ullman was preparing to speak behind the podium on Tuesday at a press conference north of Philadelphia , Wolf can be heard off camera to her left , saying : “ So Wendy , I ’ m gon na take , I ’ m gon na take my mask off when I speak.
” Ullman walks toward Wolf , off camera , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well , just , I ’ m waiting so that we can do a little political theater.
” Wolf replies , “ OK , ” and the two Democrats share a laugh .
Ullman then walks back toward the podium and finishes her sentence , saying , “ so that it ’ s on camera.
” Ullman then took her mask off from behind the microphone , just before she spoke .
Wolf did the same when it was his turn to speak .
They called the press conference to speak about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , especially amid the pandemic , by blocking Supreme Court justice nominee Amy Coney Barrett from being confirmed by the US Senate .
Pennsylvania has had some of the tightest Covid-19 restrictions , including a mask mandate that was tightened on July 2 .
Wolf ’ s lockdown orders were so strict , in fact , that a federal judge earlier this month ruled them unconstitutionally arbitrary and overreaching .
Public anger over the restrictions likely added to the backlash over Tuesday ’ s hot-mic moment .
“ I enjoyed your political theater @ @ @ @ @ @ @ response to a tweet by Ullman about the presser .
“ Meanwhile , families and businesses suffer.

Rules for thee , but not for me.
” Jondavid Longo , mayor of Slippery Rock , Pennsylvania , was also stung by the “ political theater , ” saying : “ The destruction of the livelihoods of millions of Pennsylvanians is no laughing matter , and we don ’ t find this entertaining.
” Eric Trump joined in the conversation : “ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ video !
The governor is killing your state ’ s economy for ‘ political theater . '

humansarefree--2020-10-04--History of Witchcraft and How it Spread Across the World

Modern witchcraft has drawn much of its ideology from ancient religions and esoteric schools .
It can be argued that the roots of this revived faith go back as far as the Stone Age , when humans began to conceive their world as a spiritual construct .
1 .
Shamanism appeared some time during the upper Paleolithic ( 50,000 – 10,000 years ago ) .
The shaman would often enter trance states to follow the migration of herds ( ensuring a successful hunt ) , heal people from illness , and protect their tribe from evil spirits .
Many cave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as though taking on the spirit of a particular animal .
2 .
As the nomadic tribes began to settle , new civilisations emerged , the earliest known being Sumeria ( 3500 BCE ) .
From the translation of cuneiform tablets we know that the Sumerians believed in a wide range of celestial beings such as gods and spirits , many of which were hostile , so each person was guarded by spirit to protect them from demons .
Their magic system was known as invocation , which allowed them to summon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ amulets , incantations and exorcism .
3 .
In ancient Egypt ( 2500 BCE ) , priests became skilled in Heka ( the ‘ activation of Ka ’ or spirit energy ) .
The Ka was the aspect of the soul which embodied personality , and the priests believed they could manipulate this spiritual fabric to influence the gods , gain protection , heal the ill and transform themselves into immortals .
During the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt ( 1069–653 BC ) , the art of Heka was adopted by midwives and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secrets of Ka for the first time .
4 .
The Mystery cults emerged in ancient Greece ( 1500 – 1100 BCE ) and were eventually passed onto the Romans .
These secret schools required an initiation process to gain entrance .
Worshippers believed that the gods of Greece ( such as Demeter , Dionysus and Orpheus ) had passed on their magical secrets to humans during the Bronze Age .
This included the art of shamanic travel , invoking the gods , reincarnation , and even the ingredients for making ambrosia ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Celts ( decedents of the Indo Europeans ) , formed a priest class known as Druids by around 350 BCE .
These nature worshippers acted as teachers , judges , astrologers , healers , and bards .
They were pantheists , meaning they revered many aspects of a single deity ( in the forms of nature gods , trees and standing stones ) .
All of their rituals were based around reincarnation , creating potions and crafting spells , which would eventually form the backbone of medieval witchcraft .
6 .
Another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Anglo-Saxon culture ( 400 CE – 1100 CE ) .
Their magic was based on Norse Mythology , where legend says the god Odin had passed the secrets of the runes to humanity .
These sacred symbols are used for healing , creating charms , crafting magical artefacts and hexing people .
Due to the Christianisation of their religion in the 6th – 8th century , the Anglo-Saxons came to fear the practitioners of rune magic , believing them to be guided by evil .
7 .
Gnosticism was a mystic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around 100 CE .
Gnostics believed the material world was inherently evil and that realm of spirit was fundamentally good .
They claimed the creator god of the Old Testament was corrupt and had created a flawed world .
Instead they directed Christians toward an inner experience of the true god via spiritual transcendence .
Their ideology outraged other Christian and Jewish faiths that saw this as an affront to their religion .
8 .
Gnosticism later influenced the mystic tradition of the Kabbalah .
This Jewish sect believed that God ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ angels to humans 5000 years ago .
His spiritual principles were then passed down the generations via oral tradition until emerging as a sacred text known as Sefer Zohar ( “ Book of Radiance ” ) , written by Moses de Leon , 1290 CE .
Practitioners guide their followers via meditation toward a direct contact with the divine .
Like Gnosticism , the Kabbalah speaks of divine beings , a tree of life and multiple cosmic realms .
9 .
Throughout the early middle ages , the Catholic Church tolerated pagan faiths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ‘ Black Death ’ ( bubonic plague 1347-1349 ) , a paranoia swept through the minds of Christians , believing it was the heathens and heretics who had tainted humanity with their dark sorcery .
What followed was 300 years of persecution toward anyone practicing magic and mysticism .
1401 : Witch Trials began in England , proclaiming that anyone who practiced witchcraft was to be burnt at the stake .
1487 : The notorious ‘ Malleus Maleficarum ’ ( ‘ Hammer against the Witches ’ ) was published by Kramer & @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and kill witches .
1515 : Authorities in Geneva , Switzerland burn 500 accused witches at the stake 1526 : Como , Italy , a spiral of witchcraft charges lead to around 1000 executions .
1644 : In England , Matthew Hopkins ( self proclaimed “ Witch-finder General ” ) began an intense witch-hunting campaign , torturing and killing around 300 women .
1692 : The Salem witch trials arrest 150 people , convicting twenty-nine of the felony of witchcraft .
Nineteen of the accused were hanged .
Between 1400 and 1700 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( around 75 % of them women ) , in countries such as France , Britain , Germany and America .
After what became known as “ The Burning Times ” , the practice of witchcraft survived in pockets , particularly in the countryside , cut off from interaction with witches from other areas , or through secret societies .
10 .
The occult , ( knowledge of the paranormal ) was studied and practiced throughout the witch trials , often within secret societies sworn to silence .
Intellectuals drawn to forbidden lore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ related to invocation , ancient mythology , Egyptian mysticism , Gnosticism and the Kabbalah .
Throughout this era , societies such as the Freemasons and Rosicrucians began to develop new schools of thought in astrology , alchemy , tarot , mediumship and sacred geometry .
11 .
In 1887 , the works of the occult reached their pinnacle in an English society called ‘ The Golden Dawn ’ .
The Hermetic Order was an organisation devoted to occult practices , metaphysics , and paranormal activity .
Many present-day concepts of ritual magic have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which became one of the largest single influences on 20th-century Western occultism .

Modern witchcraft has drawn much of its ideology from ancient religions and esoteric schools.
by Simon E. Davies
It can be argued that the roots of this revived faith go back as far as the Stone Age, when humans began to conceive their world as a spiritual construct.
1. Shamanism appeared some time during the upper Paleolithic (50,000 – 10,000 years ago).
The shaman would often enter trance states to follow the migration of herds (ensuring a successful hunt), heal people from illness, and protect their tribe from evil spirits.
Many cave paintings depict shaman dancing in animal costumes, as though taking on the spirit of a particular animal.
2. As the nomadic tribes began to settle, new civilisations emerged, the earliest known being Sumeria (3500 BCE).
From the translation of cuneiform tablets we know that the Sumerians believed in a wide range of celestial beings such as gods and spirits, many of which were hostile, so each person was guarded by spirit to protect them from demons.
Their magic system was known as invocation, which allowed them to summon, bind and vanquish dark spirits using amulets, incantations and exorcism.
3. In ancient Egypt (2500 BCE), priests became skilled in Heka (the ‘activation of Ka’ or spirit energy).
The Ka was the aspect of the soul which embodied personality, and the priests believed they could manipulate this spiritual fabric to influence the gods, gain protection, heal the ill and transform themselves into immortals.
During the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt (1069–653 BC), the art of Heka was adopted by midwives and nurses, allowing women to explore the secrets of Ka for the first time.
4. The Mystery cults emerged in ancient Greece (1500 – 1100 BCE) and were eventually passed onto the Romans.
These secret schools required an initiation process to gain entrance. Worshippers believed that the gods of Greece (such as Demeter, Dionysus and Orpheus) had passed on their magical secrets to humans during the Bronze Age.
This included the art of shamanic travel, invoking the gods, reincarnation, and even the ingredients for making ambrosia (an immortalising food).
5. The Celts (decedents of the Indo Europeans), formed a priest class known as Druids by around 350 BCE.
These nature worshippers acted as teachers, judges, astrologers, healers, and bards. They were pantheists, meaning they revered many aspects of a single deity (in the forms of nature gods, trees and standing stones).
All of their rituals were based around reincarnation, creating potions and crafting spells, which would eventually form the backbone of medieval witchcraft.
6. Another branch of Indo-European magic can be found in the Anglo-Saxon culture (400 CE – 1100 CE).
Their magic was based on Norse Mythology, where legend says the god Odin had passed the secrets of the runes to humanity.
These sacred symbols are used for healing, creating charms, crafting magical artefacts and hexing people.
Due to the Christianisation of their religion in the 6th – 8th century, the Anglo-Saxons came to fear the practitioners of rune magic, believing them to be guided by evil.
7. Gnosticism was a mystic religion that originated in the Middle East around 100 CE.
Gnostics believed the material world was inherently evil and that realm of spirit was fundamentally good. They claimed the creator god of the Old Testament was corrupt and had created a flawed world.
Instead they directed Christians toward an inner experience of the true god via spiritual transcendence. Their ideology outraged other Christian and Jewish faiths that saw this as an affront to their religion.
8. Gnosticism later influenced the mystic tradition of the Kabbalah.
This Jewish sect believed that God’s divine knowledge had been shared by the angels to humans 5000 years ago.
His spiritual principles were then passed down the generations via oral tradition until emerging as a sacred text known as Sefer Zohar (“Book of Radiance”), written by Moses de Leon, 1290 CE. Practitioners guide their followers via meditation toward a direct contact with the divine.
Like Gnosticism, the Kabbalah speaks of divine beings, a tree of life and multiple cosmic realms.
9. Throughout the early middle ages, the Catholic Church tolerated pagan faiths.
However, after the devastation of the ‘Black Death’ (bubonic plague 1347-1349), a paranoia swept through the minds of Christians, believing it was the heathens and heretics who had tainted humanity with their dark sorcery.
What followed was 300 years of persecution toward anyone practicing magic and mysticism.
1401: Witch Trials began in England, proclaiming that anyone who practiced witchcraft was to be burnt at the stake.
1487: The notorious ‘Malleus Maleficarum’ (‘Hammer against the Witches’) was published by Kramer & Sprenger, inciting Christians to hunt down and kill witches.
1515: Authorities in Geneva, Switzerland burn 500 accused witches at the stake
1526: Como, Italy, a spiral of witchcraft charges lead to around 1000 executions.
1644: In England, Matthew Hopkins (self proclaimed “Witch-finder General”) began an intense witch-hunting campaign, torturing and killing around 300 women.
1692: The Salem witch trials arrest 150 people, convicting twenty-nine of the felony of witchcraft. Nineteen of the accused were hanged.
Between 1400 and 1700, an estimated 50,000 suspected witches were executed (around 75% of them women), in countries such as France, Britain, Germany and America.
After what became known as “The Burning Times”, the practice of witchcraft survived in pockets, particularly in the countryside, cut off from interaction with witches from other areas, or through secret societies.
10. The occult, (knowledge of the paranormal) was studied and practiced throughout the witch trials, often within secret societies sworn to silence.
Intellectuals drawn to forbidden lore and mysticism began to study ancient texts related to invocation, ancient mythology, Egyptian mysticism, Gnosticism and the Kabbalah.
Throughout this era, societies such as the Freemasons and Rosicrucians began to develop new schools of thought in astrology, alchemy, tarot, mediumship and sacred geometry.
11. In 1887, the works of the occult reached their pinnacle in an English society called ‘The Golden Dawn’.
The Hermetic Order was an organisation devoted to occult practices, metaphysics, and paranormal activity.
Many present-day concepts of ritual magic have been inspired by the Golden Dawn, which became one of the largest single influences on 20th-century Western occultism.
12. Wicca is a modern pagan, witchcraft religion.
It was developed in England during the first half of the 20th century by Gerald Gardner. It draws upon the mystic traditions of the golden Dawn as well as ancient pagan practices.
Wiccans typically believe in reincarnation, the use of magic to influence specific outcomes, a moral responsibility toward others and an appreciation for natural cycles (they have eight festivals known as Sabbats that revolve around the changing seasons).
Wiccans often worship a variety of nature deities, the most important being the mother goddess and the horned god. These two deities are sometimes viewed as facets of a single godhead.

humansarefree--2020-10-04--Joe Biden Promotes 18-Month-Old Babies Becoming Transgenders

Reflecting back on the prolific rise of LGBTQ during the Obama years , the two names that obviously come to mind are Barack and Michelle , two of the movement ’ s most vocal ring leaders .
But Joe Biden was , and is , also heavily involved in pushing the LGBTQ agenda , his foundation having promoted the gender “ transition ” of an 18-month-old baby , among other outrageous perversions .
Biden ’ s pro-LGBTQ campaign , known simply as the Biden Foundation , launched its own gender-bending initiative back in 2018 called “ As You Are.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” from across the country , as well as a map tracking where each story occurred .
Described as “ further [ ing ] the work the Bidens did over eight years in the Obama administration and cement [ ing ] the former vice president ’ s more than four decade legacy in public life , ” the As You Are campaign has already compiled the stories of some 500 individuals , many of whom are well under the age of 18 , who have “ transitioned ” to another gender .
One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seen explaining how her six-year-old transgender child somehow decided to become “ gender nonconforming ” at just 18 months old – which is perhaps a new world record .
“ My youngest child is six and has been gender nonconforming since being able to articulate at 18 months old , ” the woman states , adding that the reason she knows the child is transgender is because he was “ a boy who liked all girl things.
” “ This past year , [ she ] has socially transitioned and now prefers the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grade soon as her authentic self , ” the woman added .
Another “ heartwarming ” story of LGBTQ acceptance featured at the Biden Foundation involves a seven-year-old “ gender non-conforming boy ” whose parents told the Biden Foundation that the child “ loves ballet and the RuPaul Drag Race show.
” “ At age seven , he is a powerful advocate for himself and other children just like him , ” the parent added .
The parent of a nine-year-old “ transgender son ” who also spoke to the Biden Foundation expressed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ child “ transition ” to another gender even sooner .
She apparently blames herself for not being “ woke ” enough to understand that prepubescent children are , according to people like Biden , fully capable of understanding concepts like gender and sexuality .
“ When my son was age four and began expressing that he felt like a boy , I did struggle , ” the woman stated about her biological daughter , who now “ self-identifies ” as her son .
“ I allowed him to express himself with his preferred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but I mis-stepped on allowing him to socially transition at a young age .
Because I wanted an easy path for him .
So , I mistakenly stifled him , dismissed him.
” Keep in mind that Biden not only supports such wickedness , but he also wants to punish those who disagree with it , having indicated during a December 2019 “ town hall ” on CNN that Christians and others who oppose the LGBTQ agenda should be designated as terrorists .
This is who is running on the Democrat ticket @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pervert named Joe Biden who encourages babies to change genders and supports locking up Christians for opposing radical LGBTQ perversion .
And Biden will have Kamala Harris , who is perhaps the world ’ s most corrupt prosecutor , right by his side to enforce his perverse new world order of limitless genders and no more Christianity .

Reflecting back on the prolific rise of LGBTQ during the Obama years, the two names that obviously come to mind are Barack and Michelle, two of the movement’s most vocal ring leaders.
But Joe Biden was, and is, also heavily involved in pushing the LGBTQ agenda, his foundation having promoted the gender “transition” of an 18-month-old baby, among other outrageous perversions.
Biden’s pro-LGBTQ campaign, known simply as the Biden Foundation, launched its own gender-bending initiative back in 2018 called “As You Are.” It features various LGBTQ “acceptance stories” from across the country, as well as a map tracking where each story occurred.
Described as “further[ing] the work the Bidens did over eight years in the Obama administration and cement[ing] the former vice president’s more than four decade legacy in public life,” the As You Are campaign has already compiled the stories of some 500 individuals, many of whom are well under the age of 18, who have “transitioned” to another gender.
One mother featured on As You Are is seen explaining how her six-year-old transgender child somehow decided to become “gender nonconforming” at just 18 months old – which is perhaps a new world record.
“My youngest child is six and has been gender nonconforming since being able to articulate at 18 months old,” the woman states, adding that the reason she knows the child is transgender is because he was “a boy who liked all girl things.”
“This past year, [she] has socially transitioned and now prefers the pronouns she/her and will be starting first grade soon as her authentic self,” the woman added.
Another Biden LGBTQ child loves watching drag queens on RuPaul Drag Race
Another “heartwarming” story of LGBTQ acceptance featured at the Biden Foundation involves a seven-year-old “gender non-conforming boy” whose parents told the Biden Foundation that the child “loves ballet and the RuPaul Drag Race show.”
“At age seven, he is a powerful advocate for himself and other children just like him,” the parent added.
The parent of a nine-year-old “transgender son” who also spoke to the Biden Foundation expressed regret that she did not let her child “transition” to another gender even sooner.
She apparently blames herself for not being “woke” enough to understand that prepubescent children are, according to people like Biden, fully capable of understanding concepts like gender and sexuality.
“When my son was age four and began expressing that he felt like a boy, I did struggle,” the woman stated about her biological daughter, who now “self-identifies” as her son.
“I allowed him to express himself with his preferred clothing choices, and even a haircut, but I mis-stepped on allowing him to socially transition at a young age. Because I wanted an easy path for him. So, I mistakenly stifled him, dismissed him.”
Keep in mind that Biden not only supports such wickedness, but he also wants to punish those who disagree with it, having indicated during a December 2019 “town hall” on CNN that Christians and others who oppose the LGBTQ agenda should be designated as terrorists.
This is who is running on the Democrat ticket this November: a senile, child-groping pervert named Joe Biden who encourages babies to change genders and supports locking up Christians for opposing radical LGBTQ perversion.
And Biden will have Kamala Harris, who is perhaps the world’s most corrupt prosecutor, right by his side to enforce his perverse new world order of limitless genders and no more Christianity.
“Not only does the messaging pushed by the Biden Foundation perpetuate radical, far-left narratives about gender, it also okays subjecting children to permanently life-altering surgeries which many ultimately come to regret,” notes Natalie Winters, writing for The National Pulse.

The Goujian Sword
After careful studies, experts quickly noted that the enigmatic sword belongs to a class of swords known as Jian: straight, double-edged swords, used in China for the last 2,500 years.
These weapons are considered as the oldest swords in China and are closely associated with their rich and plentiful mythology.
In Chinese folklore, this weapon is called the “Knight of the Arms” and is one of the four primary weapons, along with the stick, the spear, and the saber.
Why the sword remains sharp despite the fact that it had been forged more than 2,000 years ago remains a mystery, but experts point to the weapon’s composition, claiming that it remained in such an impeccable state thanks to the metals with which it was made, which allowed it to stay so well preserved.
Studies have revealed that a high proportion of sulfur and copper sulfide have allowed the sword to remain stainless.
The weapon is made according to a millenarian tradition of Chinese blacksmiths.
Its owner, King Goujian was the ruler of the Kingdom of Yue (present-day northern Zhejiang) near the end of the Spring and Autumn period.
Goujian’s reign coincided with arguably the last major conflict of the Spring and Autumn period, the struggle between Wu and Yue, wherein he eventually led his state to victory, annexing the rival.
As such, King Goujian is sometimes considered the last of the Five Hegemons.
