In a new report from VICE ( not a Trump or Q sympathizer by any means ) “ China has Been Doing ‘ Mass Surveillance ’ on Millions of Citizens in the US , UK , Australia , and India , ” Gavin Butler writes : A Chinese technology company with links to Beijing ’ s military and intelligence agencies has been compiling personal information on millions of people from the US , UK , Australia , Canada , India , and Japan .
The database was put together by the private firm Zhenhua Data : a Shenzhen-based company that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Chinese Communist Party among its main clients .
Contained therein were the names and personal details of some 2.4 million people , including 35,000 Australians , 40,000 Britons , and many high-profile figures such as senior politicians , royal family members , religious leaders , and military officers .
Those details included dates of birth , addresses , marital status , relatives , political associations , and social media IDs .
While a lot of data has been “ scraped ” from social media and other open-source material , some appears to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , job applications , and psychological profiles and is believed to have been acquired via the dark web .
According to the ABC , one intelligence analyst described the giant global database as “ Cambridge Analytica on steroids , ” At the same time , the Telegraph reported that intelligence sources described the scale of information as “ frightening.

Professor Christopher Balding, the US academic and cybersecurity expert to whom the database was initially leaked, described the revelation as “something akin to discovering the Holy Grail.
“What cannot be underestimated is the breadth and depth of the Chinese surveillance state and its extension around the world,” Balding wrote in a statement on Monday. “The world is only at the beginning stages of [understanding] how much China invests in intelligence and influence operations using the type of raw data we have to understand their targets.”

Interim Louisville Police Chief Robert Schroeder said a suspect was in custody but did not offer details about whether that person was participating in the demonstrations. He says both officers are expected to recover, and one is undergoing surgery.
He says the officers were shot after investigating reports of gunfire at an intersection where there was a large crowd.

The issue, as Bloomberg reports, is that the leading vaccine companies are shooting for low targets for the number of confirmed infections among the tens of thousands of patients they’ve recruited for their trials.
Remember, half of the test subjects have been given a vaccine, while the other half haven’t.
Leading candidates will reportedly conduct their first round of analysis after just 32 people have been sickened, with Pfizer and BioNTech giving their joint project a goal of 164 cases before they move ahead with the application for emergency approval.
The projects will also give reglators several “early looks” at their data so they can decide whether any red flags have emerged that require halting the trial, or – if the data are overwhelmingly positive – call for an early end to the trial.

It’s not just the federal government running massive deficits and piling up enormous levels of debt. Thirty-nine US states don’t have enough money to pay all of their bills.
That was the grim conclusion of Truth in Accounting’s annual Financial State of the States report.
The report summarizes a comprehensive analysis surveying the fiscal health of the 50 states prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
Total debt for all states combined totaled $1.4 trillion at the end of fiscal 2019. This does not include debt related to capital assets.
“Most of the states were ill-prepared for any crisis, much less one as serious as what we are currently facing.”
Ironically, 49 states require balanced budgets by law. As the report explains, “This means that to balance the budget … elected officials have not included the true costs of the government in their budget calculations and have pushed costs onto future taxpayers.”
The vast majority of state debt comes from unfunded retirement benefit obligations. This includes pension plans and retiree healthcare liabilities. Pension debt accounts for $855 billion and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) totaled $617 billion at the end of FY 2019.
The coronavirus pandemic and the accompanying government-imposed economic shutdowns have only exacerbated financial problems at the state level. The report estimates the 50 states could lose $397 billion in revenue. – READ MORE

Secret Report Exposes CIA’s Brennan Overruled Dissenting Analysts Who Concluded Russia Favored Hillary

Former CIA Director John Brennan personally edited a crucial section of the intelligence report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and assigned a political ally to take a lead role in writing it after career analysts disputed Brennan ’ s take that Russian leader Vladimir Putin intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump clinch the White House , according to two senior U.S. intelligence officials who have seen classified materials detailing Brennan ’ s role in drafting the document .
The explosive conclusion Brennan inserted into the report was used to help justify continuing the Trump-Russia “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ launched by the FBI in 2016 .
It was picked up after the election by Special Counsel Robert Mueller , who in the end found no proof that Trump or his campaign conspired with Moscow .
The Obama administration publicly released a declassified version of the report — known as the “ Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent Elections ( ICA ) ” — just two weeks before Trump took office , casting a cloud of suspicion over his presidency .

A new COVID-19 mutation appears to be even more contagious, according to a study — and experts say it could be a response by the virus to defeat masks and other social-distancing efforts.
Scientists in a paper published Wednesday identified a new strain of the virus, which accounted for 99.9 percent of cases during the second wave in the Houston, Texas, area, the Washington Post reported.
The paper, which has not been peer-reviewed, said people with the strain, known as the D614G mutation, had higher loads of virus — suggesting it is more contagious.
Though the strain isn’t more deadly, researchers said it appeared to have adapted better to spread among humans.
David Morens, a virologist at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the findings suggest that the virus may become more contagious and that this “may have implications for our ability to control it.” – READ MORE
