newspunch--2020-06-11--Tony Blair Is Pushing For Digital ID To Prove Covid-19 ‘Disease Status’

Former British PM says that a digital version of an ID card is urgently needed so that people can prove their Covid-19 “ disease status ” as the world transitions out of lockdown .
His recommendation comes ten years after his contentious national ID card scheme was binned .
RT reports : Speaking at the Virtual CogX technology conference on Tuesday , Blair argued that it ’ s only when citizens can easily show they ’ re coronavirus-free that sectors such as international travel will be able to restart .
The former UK Labour prime minister insisted that such a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s track-and-trace program as the economy is rebooted .
“ It ’ s a natural evolution of the way that we ’ re going to use technology in any event to transact daily life , and this Covid crisis gives an additional reason for doing that.
“ The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change , which has been making a range of coronavirus response recommendations to leaders around the world , published a paper on Tuesday calling for a digital health ‘ passport ’ .
Under the proposals , people would download a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fingerprint scan or facial recognition .
This would allow them access to their personal health data , such as a test proving they ’ re Covid-19 free .
The suggestion comes a decade after the infamous national identity card scheme proposed and lauded by Blair ’ s New Labour government but ultimately scrapped by David Cameron ’ s coalition administration in 2010 , owing primarily to civil rights concerns .
Perhaps in expectation that he would face similar criticism this time round , Blair claimed a digital form of ID could be “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a lot of the privacy and surveillance issues that worry people.
” This latest intervention in the civil liberties debate has provoked much anger on social media , with some suggesting this ID scheme , like the last , is likely to be a waste of money and end up in the trash .
Former UK Independence Party leader and Member of the European Parliament Gerard Batten suggested Blair was taking his orders from owners of big corporations , raging : “ See how this piece of s**t earns his millions from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ self-described “ Tony Blair fan ” voiced his disapproval , saying such a scheme , which requires citizens to have the appropriate technology , would lead to a “ two-tier world , or digital ID for the rich.

newspunch--2020-06-11--Democrat Official Who Introduced Motion To Defund Police Has Private Home Police Security Detail

Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez , who introduced a motion to cut LAPD ’ s budget by $ 150 million , had a private LAPD protection detail camped at her home from April to June costing the taxpayer $ 100,000 , according to a report Monday from Spectrum News 1 .
After the report from Spectrum News aired , Martinez canceled the police security detail .
She had been exposed .
“ It ’ s kind of ironic , ” LAPD Detective Jamie McBride , director of the LA Police Protective League , told Brunell .
“ Here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reallocated from the police budget , but yet she has security at her house by the Los Angeles Police Department.
” WesternJournal report : Martinez apparently thinks that she is entitled and important enough to have her own protection at her disposal , but the people of LA should fend for themselves .
“ It ’ s disgusting , ” McBride said .
“ For two officers in front of a residence since April , you ’ re probably over $ 100,000 of the people ’ s money.
” It ’ s obvious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safety of the people she represents .
She only wants her own property protected .
According to the Spectrum report , “ Multiple LAPD sources confirmed the units were directed to provide 24/7 security beginning April 4 at Martinez ’ s home , almost always staffed by two officers .
As of May 6 , we ’ re told the detail decreased to 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. with roving patrol checks overnight.
” A Martinez spokesman told Spectrum on Monday that the police detail was sought because she had received threats .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ President and her daughter and safety concerns that began over a month ago , LAPD recommended that placing a detail at her home was the best course of action to ensure the safety of the Council President and her family , ” Rick Coca said .
Coca said Martinez canceled the detail “ because she felt the security it was supposed to provide was now compromised , ” Spectrum reported .

President Trump REFUSES to Cave To Mob, ‘Will Not Consider’ Renaming Military Bases Named for Confederate Generals

On Monday , Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told Politico that he was ‘ open ‘ to renaming these 10 facilities .
Politico reported @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been at odds with Trump over how to deal with the ‘ Black Lives Matter ’ demonstrations – also supported the discussion .
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany opened up her Wednesday briefing reading a statement from Trump that mirrored his tweets , which he had pushed out minutes before she took to the podium .
McEnany was asked if the president supported the Navy ’ s move to ban Confederate flags from flying at its bases and on ships .
She said she wasn ’ t sure of his position @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as I noted at the top of the briefing , fervently stand against the renaming of our forts , ’ McEnany answered .
McEnany said that the ‘ great American fortresses ‘ were important because they respresented the last places war dead spent time in the U.S. before fighting in battles in ‘ Europe and Afghanistan and Iraq.
’ ‘ And to suggest that these forts are somehow inherently racist and their names need to be changed is a complete disrespect to the men and women , ’ she argued .
‘ For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they saw before they went overseas and lost their lives were these forts.

Petraeus also pointed out that many of the Confederates honored , like Gen. Braxton Bragg , were notoriously bad at their jobs .
‘ Fort Bragg is known for the heroes within it , ‘ McEnany responded .
The president has long sided with the ‘ heritage ‘ argument to keep Confederate monuments and memorials erected .
This is how he got in hot water in August 2017 , standing up for demonstrators – made up of neo-Nazis , KKK members and other white @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who wanted the city ’ s Robert E. Lee statue to remain .

newspunch--2020-06-11--Judge Argues ‘Trump’s Tweets’ Are Reason to Keep Prosecuting Flynn

Retired Judge John Gleeson told a federal appeals court on Wednesday that President Trump ’ s tweets in support of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn are part of the reason why charges against Flynn should not be dropped .
No , this is not satire .
In a brief filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C .
Circuit , Gleeson argued that Clinton-appointed Judge Emmet G. Sullivan , who is still presiding over the Flynn case , should be allowed to prevent the DOJ for ending their prosecution .
Breitbart.com reports : Last month , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after evidence emerged to suggest that the FBI had pursued Flynn in 2017 to set him up for “ lying , ” even though it had concluded there was no reason to suspect him of committing a crime .
Moreover , the FBI had failed to provide that evidence to defense lawyers until an outside prosecutor , Jeffrey Jensen , reviewed the case at the request of Attorney General William Barr , finding irregularities in the DOJ ’ s pursuit of Flynn .
Flynn had already pleaded guilty in December 2018 to charges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pressure from the DOJ , which allegedly threatened to indict Flynn ’ s son .
The terms of that plea agreement were not revealed to the court at the time .
Accordingly , Flynn ’ s new lawyer , Sidney Powell , moved that the charges be dismissed , and the DOJ agreed .
But Judge Sulliavan , who had once accused Flynn of treason , refused to let the case go and invited Gleeson to submit an amicus curiae ( “ friend of the court ” ) brief as to why he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for withdrawing his plea .
Powell filed a writ of mandamus with the D.C .
Circuit , seeking to remove Sullivan from the case and have it dropped .
Sullivan filed a response with the appeals court , citing “ unusual developments ” that justified questioning the DOJ ’ s “ bona fides.
” The DOJ responded to his filing by accusing him of undermining the Constitution ’ s separation of powers .
In his own response Wednesday , Gleeson complained that the government ’ s new stance contradicted its earlier filings , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ engaged in highly irregular conduct to benefit a political ally of the President.
” In one passage , Gleeson cited the fact that Trump had tweeted repeatedly about the case as evidence of interference : President Trump has since engaged in running public commentary about Flynn ’ s criminal case through the media and on Twitter .
In total , he has tweeted or retweeted about Flynn at least 100 times from March 2017 to present.48 This commentary has made clear that the President has been closely following the proceedings , is personally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecution ends , and has deep animosity toward those who investigated and prosecuted Flynn .
Gleeson also tries to argue the facts of the case , repeating dubious claims about Flynn ’ s conduct in early 2017 — for instance , claiming that he “ urge [ d ] a hostile country to undermine current U.S. policy ” when what he had actually done is ask Russia not to retaliate overly harshly to U.S. sanctions .
Gleeson also argues that Flynn “ lied to the FBI , ” when the FBI agents who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they did not believe he had lied to them at the time .
In concluding , Gleeson acknowledges that the executive branch has sole discretion over the decision to prosecute , but claims it “ forfeited ” that discretion once it filed charges against Flynn .
It could not withdraw those charges , he argued , “ simply because Flynn is a friend and political ally of the President.
” He said Flynn should immediately be sentenced .

In a brief filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Gleeson argued that Clinton-appointed Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, who is still presiding over the Flynn case, should be allowed to prevent the DOJ for ending their prosecution.
Breitbart.com reports: Last month, the DOJ moved to withdraw its case, after evidence emerged to suggest that the FBI had pursued Flynn in 2017 to set him up for “lying,” even though it had concluded there was no reason to suspect him of committing a crime.
Moreover, the FBI had failed to provide that evidence to defense lawyers until an outside prosecutor, Jeffrey Jensen, reviewed the case at the request of Attorney General William Barr, finding irregularities in the DOJ’s pursuit of Flynn.
Flynn had already pleaded guilty in December 2018 to charges of lying to the FBI, under pressure from the DOJ, which allegedly threatened to indict Flynn’s son. The terms of that plea agreement were not revealed to the court at the time.
Accordingly, Flynn’s new lawyer, Sidney Powell, moved that the charges be dismissed, and the DOJ agreed. But Judge Sulliavan, who had once accused Flynn of treason, refused to let the case go and invited Gleeson to submit an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief as to why he should not find Flynn in criminal contempt for withdrawing his plea.
Powell filed a writ of mandamus with the D.C. Circuit, seeking to remove Sullivan from the case and have it dropped.
Sullivan filed a response with the appeals court, citing “unusual developments” that justified questioning the DOJ’s “bona fides.” The DOJ responded to his filing by accusing him of undermining the Constitution’s separation of powers.

President Trump has since engaged in running public commentary about Flynn’s criminal case through the media and on Twitter. In total, he has tweeted or retweeted about Flynn at least 100 times from March 2017 to present.48 This commentary has made clear that the President has been closely following the proceedings, is personally invested in ensuring that Flynn’s prosecution ends, and has deep animosity toward those who investigated and prosecuted Flynn.
Surprisingly, Gleeson argued that Flynn should not be held in contempt of court, but that his “perjury” in entering a guilty plea that he later withdrew should be considered in sentencing him for what the DOJ now says he did not do:
Flynn has indeed committed perjury in these proceedings, for which he deserves punishment, and the Court has the authority to initiate a prosecution for that crime. I respectfully recommend, however, that the Court not exercise that authority. Rather, it should take Flynn’s perjury into account in sentencing him on the offense to which he has already admitted guilt.
Gleeson also tries to argue the facts of the case, repeating dubious claims about Flynn’s conduct in early 2017 — for instance, claiming that he “urge[d] a hostile country to undermine current U.S. policy” when what he had actually done is ask Russia not to retaliate overly harshly to U.S. sanctions. Gleeson also argues that Flynn “lied to the FBI,” when the FBI agents who met with him later said themselves that they did not believe he had lied to them at the time.
In concluding, Gleeson acknowledges that the executive branch has sole discretion over the decision to prosecute, but claims it “forfeited” that discretion once it filed charges against Flynn. It could not withdraw those charges, he argued, “simply because Flynn is a friend and political ally of the President.” He said Flynn should immediately be sentenced.

In recent days, Virginia to Jacksonville, Florida, began taking down Confederate statues. On Tuesday, protesters tore down a statue of Christopher Columbus in Richmond, while a statue of the explorer was beheaded in Boston.
Earlier Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called for statues of Confederate leaders to be removed from the Capitol.
In a letter, Pelosi told a House-Senate committee with jurisdiction over the controversial topic that Confederate statues “pay homage to hate, not heritage. They must be removed.”
The California Democrat made the announcement on the very day President Donald Trump vowed on Twitter that he would not rename military bases honoring Confederate generals. Only a short time before Pelosi’s statement, NASCAR announced it would ban displays of the Confederate flag at its races.
Confederate monuments have reemerged as a national flashpoint since the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into his neck for several minutes. Protesters decrying racism have targeted Confederate monuments in multiple cities, and some state officials are considering taking them down.
Pelosi lacks the authority to order the removal of the 11 Capitol statues honoring Confederates but is urging the little-noticed Joint Committee on the Library to vote to remove them. Senate Republicans share jurisdiction.

The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) was set up a few days ago with the aim of creating a communist utopia in the heart of Seattle. However, it has been taken over by Raz Simone, who has been dubbed the “Black George Zimmerman,” and is acting like a warlord, extorting businesses for protection money.
A recent community meeting was live-streamed, where people in the CHAZ could raise questions of Raz and other leaders.
NationalFile report: One resident at the meeting, although supportive of the “fantastic experiment” and “great opportunity” that is the Seattle CHAZ, he still had some “initial concerns” about the project:
