A recent article in Offshore-Technology revealed that British Petroleum (BP) bought a majority interest in a fiber optic innovation company called Fotech.
Why would anyone care about BP buying Fotech?
Because Fotech “uses artificial intelligence and edge computing in its products, covering areas such as surveillance, transport management, cable monitoring and rail management.”
Roughly translated, they use fiber optic cables to surveil vehicles, people, pipe lines, public transit, etc.
Fotech’s “products” page reveals how they plan to turn smart cities into real-rime listening devices using “Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS).”
Distributed Acoustic Technology converts thousands of kilometers of optical fibers already in place in our cities into millions of acoustic and vibration sensors. DAS converts cables into a network of state-of-the-art sensors. This allows cities to send and receive information with the benefit of providing anonymity to its citizens, but also to monitor city infrastructure continuously – in real-time and on a much more detailed level.
Two years ago, Fotech and Dr Robert Ferguson revealed how the city of Calgary could use DAS to track vehicles and people.
“We have installed what’s called a distributed acoustic sensing system along the entire route of the autonomous vehicle and we’ve repurposed an oilfield instrument…We can track, with high precision, the location of not only the autonomous vehicle but anything else that’s moving around close to the autonomous vehicle” Ferguson said.
Fotech’s “Smart City Solutions” boasts that they can use DAS to “recognize and detect the acoustic and seismic signatures of footsteps, vehicles, trams and trains.”
Cities can easily be converted into DAS public monitoring platforms
Fotech’s “Making smart transport networks a reality with DAS” report revealed that cities can easily be converted into DAS monitoring platforms because they can use pre-existing or 5G fiber optic networks.
DAS monitoring platforms harness a key piece of existing city infrastructure – the fiber optic cable networks beneath our feet.
Fotech’s story titled “Smart City Expo 2019” revealed how smart cities can use DAS to transform fiber optic cables into “highly sensitive acoustic sensors – innately listening to the activities around them.”
Activist Post Recommended Book: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism
Imagine a smart city using fiber optics, CCTV surveillance cameras, Ring video doorbell cameras, Stingray devices, license plate readers, Bluetooth readers, etc., to monitor vehicles and people in real-time. Is that the kind of world people want or is it the kind of world Big Brother wants?
DAS is a great way for law enforcement to secretly monitor people because fiber optic cables are hidden from public view.
Using fiber optic cables that are often hidden from view, Fotech’s DAS technology can monitor international borders automatically, giving you an enhanced understanding of in-situ (on-site) activities, and gather intelligence on events and patterns in and around your border.
And isn’t that really what smart city surveillance is all about? Secretly monitoring people and vehicles and gathering intelligence on everyone?

BP bills Fotech as “a security management platform optimized to protect and secure your assets 24/7.” But it should really be billed as a 24/7 public monitoring platform optimized to track vehicles and people in real-time.
BP joins a long list of private corporations that stand to profit from turning cities into 24/7 smart city surveillance platforms.

activistpost--2020-03-10--Douma Whistleblowers Respond to OPCW’s Attacks

Two whistleblowers who have been speaking out about a scandal within the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons ( OPCW ) have responded to the organization ’ s attempts to discredit them .
The OPCW has been doing some serious damage control over its investigation into a chemical attack that allegedly took place in Douma , Syria on April 7th 2018 .
New revelations from The Grayzone and journalist Peter Hitchens severely undermine the OPCW ’ s attack on the brave whistleblowers .
Leaked documents and testimony from the two whistleblowers show the OPCW ignored its experts and suppressed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Syrian government was responsible for the alleged attack in Douma .
The OPCW published its final report on the Douma incident in March 2019 .
That report concluded there were “ reasonable grounds ” to believe a chemical attack took place and that chemical was “ likely molecular chlorine.
” The first leak that undermined the final report was an unreleased engineering assessment published by the Working Group on Syria , Propaganda and Media .
The assessment analyzed two cylinders found in Douma that were said to be the source of the chlorine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Syrian government was responsible for the alleged attack was the idea that the two cylinders were dropped from an aircraft .
But the unreleased engineering assessment concluded there was a “ higher probability that both cylinders were manually placed at those two locations rather than being delivered from aircraft.
” This conclusion was left out of the final report .
The OPCW launched an investigation into the dissemination of the engineering assessment and released a report on it in February .
The report titled , “ Report of the Investigation into Possible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enough evidence to pin the blame on either whistleblower for leaking the assessment .
Instead , the report is an attack on the credibility of the two individuals known as “ Inspector A ” and “ Inspector B.
” Inspector A is Ian Henderson , a 12-year OPCW veteran and author of the leaked engineering assessment .
Inspector B , a 16-year OPCW veteran , wishes to remain anonymous and is likely the whistleblower who used the pseudonym “ Alex ” when he gave testimony to journalist Jonathan Steele for a story published @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Henderson ’ s engineering assessment was not an official OPCW document and that Henderson completed it without going through the proper channels .
A written statement from Henderson to the UN was published by The Grayzone shortly after the OPCW ’ s report on the leak came out and severely undermined this claim .
According to Henderson ’ s statement , he had a green light from OPCW management to conduct the study , and upon its completion , the assessment was peer-reviewed by other OPCW employees .
Henderson and Inspector B responded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hitchens in his blog for The Mail on Sunday .
Both inspectors describe the OPCW ’ s investigation report as “ a bait and switch tactic that creates the illusion of a report about a breach of confidentiality , when in fact it is little more than a public defense of the scientifically questioned Douma Report.
” Besides taking issue with the contents of the breaches of confidentiality report , the detailed response published in The Mail reiterates the whistleblowers ’ main concerns with how the OPCW handled the Douma investigation .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that deployed to Syria was replaced with a team of inspectors that only deployed to “ Country X , ” which is likely Turkey .
The Douma FFM compiled a detailed 116-page interim report that was highly altered by OPCW management before it was released to the public .
After internal issues with the interim report , the Douma FFM was replaced .
The findings and scientific work of the Douma FFM were completely ignored in the drafting of the OPCW ’ s final report .
One example of this is a meeting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place in June 2018 , where toxicologists were shown pictures and videos of alleged victims .
WikiLeaks published minutes from this meeting in December .
According to the minutes , the “ key takeaway ” for the OPCW team that attended the meeting was that “ the symptoms observed were inconsistent with exposure to chlorine.
” The findings from the June 2018 meeting with toxicologists are reflected in the original interim report but are not included in the final report .
The final report mentions two consultations with toxicologists , one in September @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but no details from these meetings are given .
The OPCW claims that after the Douma FFM was dismissed , the bulk of the scientific work for the report took place .
But as Inspector B puts it , “ Regardless of what new information had been gathered since the Interim Report , it is scientifically unacceptable to exclude any facts that could impact on the conclusions of an investigation.
” The Grayzone obtained letters from both Henderson , and Inspector B addressed to OPCW Director-General Fernando Arias .
In these letters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s investigation into the breaches of confidentiality .
In his letter , Henderson defended his and Inspector B ’ s reputation , “ I feel that I need to respond to the attempted smear on the reputations of Inspector B and myself .
We are long-serving and dedicated OPCW supporters .
We both have reams of documents such as performance appraisals , emails , letters of commendation and others , that reflect a history of service at the highest level in terms of qualifications , skills , expertise , leadership , integrity and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Henderson also addressed issues with the Douma investigation and brought a new detail to light .
One of the cylinders in Douma was found on a rooftop balcony ( known as Location 2 ) , according to Syrian opposition that was on the ground , chlorine was discharged from the cylinder into the building and killed dozens of people in the basement .
Henderson explains in his letter to Arias that the basement was not connected to the rest of the building .
Henderson wrote , “ The drafters of the final @ @ @ @ @ @ @ victims throughout the apartment block at Location 2 , were immediately exposed to such high concentrations of chlorine that they collapsed on the spot and were not able to exit the building .
This is all the more puzzling taking into account the upper parts of the building and the basement were not connected ( i.e .
the gas had to exit the building onto the street and re-enter the basement door ) .
” Henderson also raises a question about the meeting with toxicologists discussed above .
Henderson asks , “ Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the toxicologists who considered the symptoms inconsistent with chlorine ?
” The OPCW claims three independent experts disagreed with the conclusions of Henderson ’ s engineering assessment .
Henderson suggests that he and these three independent experts should get together to “ justify their work ” and show “ what facts , information , data , assumptions and inputs were used.
” Henderson believes this exchange of facts and methodology will “ quickly show who has got the wrong end of the stick.
” Inspector B ’ s letter also defended the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Henderson and Inspector B raised issue with the way Director-General Arias described them as “ individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence.
” Inspector B responded to that claim by saying , “ It is not that A and B ‘ are individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence ’ , it is that A and B are individuals who could never accept that a scientific investigation is not backed by science.
” Reading the long accounts from Henderson and Inspector @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was some sort of cover-up within the OPCW .
Both Henderson and Inspector B said US officials from an unknown agency presented “ evidence ” to the Douma FFM that “ proved ” the Syrian government carried out a chemical attack in Douma .
It was around the time of this briefing that the Douma FFM was replaced .
The US had a clear motive to influence the OPCW ’ s investigation .
Shortly after the alleged attack , the US , UK , and France launched an airstrike against Syrian government targets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not lie solely on OPCW management , media outlets that have ignored this scandal share the responsibility .
Since Russia intervened in Syria on behalf of the Syrian government , any information that goes against the Western narrative related to the war is framed as Russian propaganda or disinformation .
But which government has a history of waging war in the region over false pretenses , especially related to chemical weapons or WMDs ?
In Peter Hitchens blog for The Mail on Sunday , Ian Henderson presented a question he believed the investigators @ @ @ @ @ @ @ question every investigator or journalist should ask : Dave DeCamp is assistant editor at Antiwar.com and a freelance journalist based in Brooklyn NY , focusing on US foreign policy and wars .

New revelations from The Grayzone and journalist Peter Hitchens severely undermine the OPCW’s attack on the brave whistleblowers.
Leaked documents and testimony from the two whistleblowers show the OPCW ignored its experts and suppressed findings to fit the narrative that the Syrian government was responsible for the alleged attack in Douma.
The OPCW published its final report on the Douma incident in March 2019. That report concluded there were “reasonable grounds” to believe a chemical attack took place and that chemical was “likely molecular chlorine.” The first leak that undermined the final report was an unreleased engineering assessment published by the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media. The assessment analyzed two cylinders found in Douma that were said to be the source of the chlorine gas.
Central to the claim that the Syrian government was responsible for the alleged attack was the idea that the two cylinders were dropped from an aircraft. But the unreleased engineering assessment concluded there was a “higher probability that both cylinders were manually placed at those two locations rather than being delivered from aircraft.” This conclusion was left out of the final report.
The OPCW launched an investigation into the dissemination of the engineering assessment and released a report on it in February. The report titled, “Report of the Investigation into Possible Breaches of Confidentiality” does not find enough evidence to pin the blame on either whistleblower for leaking the assessment. Instead, the report is an attack on the credibility of the two individuals known as “Inspector A” and “Inspector B.”
Inspector A is Ian Henderson, a 12-year OPCW veteran and author of the leaked engineering assessment. Inspector B, a 16-year OPCW veteran, wishes to remain anonymous and is likely the whistleblower who used the pseudonym “Alex” when he gave testimony to journalist Jonathan Steele for a story published by Counterpunch.
The OPCW claimed that Henderson’s engineering assessment was not an official OPCW document and that Henderson completed it without going through the proper channels. A written statement from Henderson to the UN was published by The Grayzone shortly after the OPCW’s report on the leak came out and severely undermined this claim. According to Henderson’s statement, he had a green light from OPCW management to conduct the study, and upon its completion, the assessment was peer-reviewed by other OPCW employees.

Both inspectors describe the OPCW’s investigation report as “a bait and switch tactic that creates the illusion of a report about a breach of confidentiality, when in fact it is little more than a public defense of the scientifically questioned Douma Report.”
Besides taking issue with the contents of the breaches of confidentiality report, the detailed response published in The Mail reiterates the whistleblowers’ main concerns with how the OPCW handled the Douma investigation. The OPCW Douma Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) that deployed to Syria was replaced with a team of inspectors that only deployed to “Country X,” which is likely Turkey.

After internal issues with the interim report, the Douma FFM was replaced.

In Peter Hitchens blog for The Mail on Sunday, Ian Henderson presented a question he believed the investigators should have asked the Director-General. A question every investigator or journalist should ask:
Why would two of the most qualified senior Inspection Team Leaders, with impeccable records of scientific expertise, impartiality, and judgment, arguably the best in the organization, suddenly ‘go rogue?’

activistpost--2020-03-12--The EARN IT Bill Is the Government’s Plan to Scan Every Message Online

Imagine an Internet where the law required every message sent to be read by government-approved scanning software .
Companies that handle such messages wouldn ’ t be allowed to securely encrypt them , or they ’ d lose legal protections that allow them to operate .
That ’ s what the Senate Judiciary Committee has proposed and hopes to pass into law .
The so-called EARN IT bill , sponsored by Senators Lindsay Graham ( R-GA ) and Richard Blumenthal ( D-CT ) , will strip Section 230 protections away from any website that doesn ’ t follow a list @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those sites can be sued into bankruptcy .
The “ best practices ” list will be created by a government commission , headed by Attorney General Barr , who has made it very clear he would like to ban encryption , and guarantee law enforcement “ legal access ” to any digital message .
The EARN IT bill had its first hearing today , and its supporters ’ strategy is clear .
Because they didn ’ t put the word “ encryption ” in the bill , they ’ re going to insist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ This bill says nothing about encryption , ” co-sponsor Sen. Blumenthal said at today ’ s hearing .
“ Have you found a word in this bill about encryption ?
” he asked one witness .
It ’ s true that the bill ’ s authors avoided using that word .
But they did propose legislation that enables an all-out assault on encryption .
It would create a 19-person commission that ’ s completely controlled by the Attorney General and law enforcement agencies .
And , at the hearing , a Vice-President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Exploited Children ( NCMEC ) made it clear [ PDF ] what he wants the best practices to be .
NCMEC believes online services should be made to screen their messages for material that NCMEC considers abusive ; use screening technology approved by NCMEC and law enforcement ; report what they find in the messages to NCMEC ; and be held legally responsible for the content of messages sent by others .
You can ’ t have an Internet where messages are screened en masse , and also have end-to-end encryption any more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only be used by the good guys .
The two are mutually exclusive .
Concepts like “ client-side scanning ” aren ’ t a clever route around this ; such scanning is just another way to break end-to-end encryption .
Either the message remains private to everyone but its recipients , or it ’ s available to others .
The 19-person draft commission isn ’ t any better than the 15-person commission envisioned in an early draft of the bill .
It ’ s completely dominated by law enforcement and allied groups like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a majority of votes on the commission , but the bill gives Attorney General Barr the power to veto or approve the list of best practices .
Even if other commission members do disagree with law enforcement , Barr ’ s veto power will put him in a position to strongarm them .

Stop the Graham-Blumenthal Attack on Encryption
That’s what the Senate Judiciary Committee has proposed and hopes to pass into law. The so-called EARN IT bill, sponsored by Senators Lindsay Graham (R-GA) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), will strip Section 230 protections away from any website that doesn’t follow a list of “best practices,” meaning those sites can be sued into bankruptcy. The “best practices” list will be created by a government commission, headed by Attorney General Barr, who has made it very clear he would like to ban encryption, and guarantee law enforcement “legal access” to any digital message.
The EARN IT bill had its first hearing today, and its supporters’ strategy is clear. Because they didn’t put the word “encryption” in the bill, they’re going to insist it doesn’t affect encryption.
“This bill says nothing about encryption,” co-sponsor Sen. Blumenthal said at today’s hearing. “Have you found a word in this bill about encryption?” he asked one witness.
It’s true that the bill’s authors avoided using that word. But they did propose legislation that enables an all-out assault on encryption. It would create a 19-person commission that’s completely controlled by the Attorney General and law enforcement agencies. And, at the hearing, a Vice-President at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) made it clear [PDF] what he wants the best practices to be. NCMEC believes online services should be made to screen their messages for material that NCMEC considers abusive; use screening technology approved by NCMEC and law enforcement; report what they find in the messages to NCMEC; and be held legally responsible for the content of messages sent by others.
You can’t have an Internet where messages are screened en masse, and also have end-to-end encryption any more than you can create backdoors that can only be used by the good guys. The two are mutually exclusive. Concepts like “client-side scanning” aren’t a clever route around this; such scanning is just another way to break end-to-end encryption. Either the message remains private to everyone but its recipients, or it’s available to others.
The 19-person draft commission isn’t any better than the 15-person commission envisioned in an early draft of the bill. It’s completely dominated by law enforcement and allied groups like NCMEC. Not only will those groups have a majority of votes on the commission, but the bill gives Attorney General Barr the power to veto or approve the list of best practices. Even if other commission members do disagree with law enforcement, Barr’s veto power will put him in a position to strongarm them.
The Commission won’t be a body that seriously considers policy; it will be a vehicle for creating a law enforcement wish list. Barr has made clear, over and over again, that breaking encryption is at the top of that wish list. Once it’s broken, authoritarian regimes around the world will rejoice, as they have the ability to add their own types of mandatory scanning, not just for child sexual abuse material but for self-expression that those governments want to suppress.
The privacy and security of all users will suffer if U.S. law enforcement is able to achieve its dream of breaking encryption. Senators should reject the EARN IT bill.

activistpost--2020-03-12--Innocent Teens Detained, Fined $3,000 for Riding Dirt Bikes On Their Own Property

Hampden , MA — Four Hampden teenagers got a dose of police state reality when they were both given hundreds of dollars in fines by environmental cops for riding their motorcycles on their own family ’ s property .
Yes .
That ’ s right , America .
Massachusetts has its own police force called “ environmental police ” , AKA Game and Fish wardens in other states .
Each one of the four teenagers was hit with $ 750 in fines for a grand police state total of $ 3000 for just the one incident .
The teenagers ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) will have to pay a $ 250 fine for operating an unregistered recreation vehicle and a $ 500 for operating recreation vehicles without mandated safety certifications — literally in their own backyard .
As TFTP has consistently warned its readers , even though the so-called authorities claim permitting is for “ safety ” it ’ s simply a money grab by the state .
Unfortunately , most states it seems are adopting each and every regulatory permit they can invent or idea steal from another state , even going so far as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can legally demand more of your hard-earned money when you break their newly invented rules .
If the regulations didn ’ t have the name “ permit ” written into the paperwork , it would otherwise be known as “ tax ” and we know that taxation is theft .
One of the teen ’ s mothers , Melanie Beck , gave permission for the teens to ride on her property .
She said making contact with police on her own land has put a bad taste in the mouths of the teens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ riding in the woods .
If a gun-toting gang off the streets had done the exact same thing to the kids we would call it kidnapping and extortion .
And to the teenagers and their families it likely feels the same .
People with badges , without warrants , came onto their property , held their children against their will , and are now demanding money be paid because some arbitrary permit fee was not paid first before engaging in the exercise of one ’ s own free will to play in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s ludicrous !
And the permitting process will continue unless citizens put an end to it first .
As an aside , it ’ s embarrassing really for a state like Massachusetts to have to pay permits to their government to keep them from invading their privacy , kidnapping their kids , and fining the families hundreds of dollars all so teenagers can ride two-wheelers in the woods on their property .
After all , the American Revolution had its origins in the great state and yet now seems to suffer from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Worth noting is the fact permitting of ATVs is not limited to MA .

By Jack Burns
Hampden, MA — Four Hampden teenagers got a dose of police state reality when they were both given hundreds of dollars in fines by environmental cops for riding their motorcycles on their own family’s property. Yes. That’s right, America. Massachusetts has its own police force called “environmental police”, AKA Game and Fish wardens in other states. Each one of the four teenagers was hit with $750 in fines for a grand police state total of $3000 for just the one incident.
The teenagers (their families if the truth be known) will have to pay a $250 fine for operating an unregistered recreation vehicle and a $500 for operating recreation vehicles without mandated safety certifications — literally in their own backyard. As TFTP has consistently warned its readers, even though the so-called authorities claim permitting is for “safety” it’s simply a money grab by the state.
Unfortunately, most states it seems are adopting each and every regulatory permit they can invent or idea steal from another state, even going so far as permitting pets for example, so they can legally demand more of your hard-earned money when you break their newly invented rules. If the regulations didn’t have the name “permit” written into the paperwork, it would otherwise be known as “tax” and we know that taxation is theft.
One of the teen’s mothers, Melanie Beck, gave permission for the teens to ride on her property. She said making contact with police on her own land has put a bad taste in the mouths of the teens who wanted nothing more than to go riding in the woods.
My son was very upset when he was approached by the officers. All the boys had respect for the officers and after 2 1/2 hours of standing there being questioned, having to show VIN numbers, and writing citations for each kid, that’s 2 1/2 hours. They were very upset, they left my house and, honestly, I feel like it’s pushing them further away from being kids and hanging out in the woods and having fun riding dirt bikes.
If a gun-toting gang off the streets had done the exact same thing to the kids we would call it kidnapping and extortion. And to the teenagers and their families it likely feels the same. People with badges, without warrants, came onto their property, held their children against their will, and are now demanding money be paid because some arbitrary permit fee was not paid first before engaging in the exercise of one’s own free will to play in the woods on their own land. It’s ludicrous! And the permitting process will continue unless citizens put an end to it first.
As an aside, it’s embarrassing really for a state like Massachusetts to have to pay permits to their government to keep them from invading their privacy, kidnapping their kids, and fining the families hundreds of dollars all so teenagers can ride two-wheelers in the woods on their property. After all, the American Revolution had its origins in the great state and yet now seems to suffer from taxation far worse than the Redcoats demanded. Worth noting is the fact permitting of ATVs is not limited to MA. The permitting of your God-given freedoms is taking place in every state in the Union. And it’s pathetic.
Beck claims she didn’t even know about the motorcycle permitting regulations and says her son and his friends are very upset about causing their families to incur such an expensive fine. She made an interesting point when she said the family has recently entered competitive races and none of the race officials asked to see their bike registration paperwork.
Just in the last year, my husband and my son participated in two races and not one of those places in Massachusetts asked for the registered vehicle or if my son being 16 had taken the (safety) class.
Unfortunately, the average MA resident will likely read this article and think to themselves, ‘that’s unfortunate.’ They’ll do nothing about it. They won’t get angry and even if they did would not likely have the courage to confront the egregious extortion practices. Beck, however, if feeling not only anger but experiencing dismay as well.
I think it’s outrageous that these people have been riding on there own properties for, I don’t even know how long, and they have no problems. EPA can just show up on your property and ticket you $750. It’s kind of ridiculous.
Go ahead. Try and think of any of your daily freedoms with which you don’t need a permit from the oppressors to enjoy. Oh yeah, and just as a reminder, don’t forget to get your “Real ID” by October or you won’t be able to fly the friendly skies. Enjoy that freedom Murica, you earned it!

The real crisis of the coronavirus is that it’s going to bankrupt more people than it kills, especially in the United States. Household debt has skyrocketed in the years following the Great Recession, putting many at risk for a financial disaster.
Businesses are shutting doors and closing shop to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. But this in itself is a disaster for many who live paycheck to paycheck, which is almost 80% of Americans. Not to mention household debt in the U.S. reached a record of $14 trillion in February during the coronavirus’ spread around the globe.
COVID-19’s economic danger is exponentially greater than its health risks to the public. If the virus does directly affect your life, it is most likely to be through stopping you from going to work, forcing your employer to make you redundant, or bankrupting your business. According to the Independent, that’s the main concern.
It is difficult to imagine Italy not entering a recession (the world’s ninth-largest economy is now on lockdown).

The U.S. already dropped interest rates, and that hasn’t stemmed the bleeding. But lowering interest rates hasn’t caused people to spend more money. It usually spikes mortgage refinances, however.

Payroll taxes, which are distinct from income taxes, are paid by both employers and employees, with workers paying 6.2 percent of their salaries up to $137,000 to fund Social Security and employers matching that amount. The cut applies only to those who get paychecks, so it would provide little relief to people who are laid off as a result of an economic downturn.

What Trump really needs to do is eliminate the Federal income tax. Again, small cuts won’t help the average person at this point and won’t be noticeable to give the economy a boost. Any money that is yours that you get to keep and isn’t stolen from you is at least some help, however. Americans are overtaxed anyway.

As coronavirus fears continue to peak and the serfs fight each other over pallets of toilet paper at Costco, the world’s elite aren’t taking any chances. According to a report out of the Guardian, this week, the super-rich are preparing to self-isolate in the face of an escalation in the coronavirus crisis. But their plans extend far beyond stocking up on hand sanitizer and toilet paper.
The world’s elite are hopping on their private jets and taking off to private bunkers across the world. As the Guardian reports:
Many are understood to be taking personal doctors or nurses on their flights to treat them and their families in the event that they become infected. The wealthy are also besieging doctors in private clinics in Harley Street, London, and across the world, demanding private coronavirus tests.
Doctors in London are reportedly being secretly contracted by concerned elite to get tested for coronavirus before they move to their bunkers. This testing is in spite of the fact that Britain’s NHS said it would only test people with a “high chance” of having the illness – meaning people who had had close contact with a confirmed case or who had recently gone to a high-risk country.
Mark Ali, chief executive and medical director of the Private Harley Street Clinic, said:
This has led to huge demand from very wealthy people asking if they can pay for private testing. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer testing, as the NHS has said all tests should be done centrally.
Although Ali claims the tests are not being done on random rich people who request it, a source told the Guardian that is not the case.
Also, chief executive of the private jet company, PrivateFly, said the elite are booking his services at a far higher rate as people flee high-risk countries.
“Many are from groups which include elderly passengers or those with health conditions that make them particularly concerned about exposure to crowds on airline flights. We’ve just flown a group back to London from the south of France, with an immunocompromised passenger on board,” he said.
Apparently, the elite are allowed to fly while the commoners are told they cannot. As TFTP reported on Monday, as coronavirus cases continued to rise in Italy, Italian officials began rolling out police state measures. If citizens attempt to flee the country to avoid such tyranny, they face jail. Anyone leaving the “containment regions” risks three months in prison, or a fine of up to 206 euros ($234), Luciana Lamorgese said on Monday.
On Wednesday, the US took similar measures, banning all flights to Europe.
Some elite may be a little late to the game, however, as the Guardian reports:
Robert Vicino, founder and chief executive of Vivos Group, a California-based company constructing underground shelters designed to withstand a range of natural disasters and catastrophes, said his firm had seen a surge in inquiries and sales since the crisis took hold. Vivos has converted a a cold war bunker in Indiana into accommodation for 80 people, and is offering space in 575 concrete bunkers in an abandoned second world war ordnance depot in South Dakota.
As TFTP previously reported, the theory that the super elite have turned into “Doomsday preppers” stockpiling supplies in preparation for the end of the world as we know it, is more than just a theory, and the latest properties purchased by the world’s top billionaires give insight into how they plan to survive.
The cause of such an event is debatable—will an asteroid collide with Earth, or will nuclear warfare break out between two colliding super powers?
Forbes contributor Jim Dobson noted that in addition to “preparing for future escape plans with ‘vacation homes’ in remote locations,” and “private planes ready to depart at a moment’s notice,” some of the wealthiest individuals in the U.S. are buying large amounts of land that can be used for self-survival.

Dobson also noted that this type of preparation extends worldwide to moguls in Australia and New Zealand who are buying massive amounts of farmland. Because money and precious metals would be virtually useless following a major disaster, self-sustainable territory and the tools that come with it appear to be the new hot commodity.
The series of “Doomsday maps” produced by Gordon-Michael Scallion with the Matrix Institute give insight into what the world would look like if a massive asteroid or comet collided with Earth, and led to a polar shift that resulted in a cataclysmic change. While it is all still speculative, NASA’s asteroid watch website estimates that such an event could happen as early as 2021.
As The Free Thought Project reported, the concept of the super-rich preparing to survive a worldwide disaster is nothing new—former Facebook product manager Antonio García Martínez and Reddit CEO Steve Huffman are among the moguls openly preparing for a major crisis.
“I think, to some degree, we all collectively take it on faith that our country works, that our currency is valuable, the peaceful transfer of power—that all of these things that we hold dear work because we believe they work. While I do believe they’re quite resilient, and we’ve been through a lot, certainly we’re going to go through a lot more,” Huffman said.

UPDATE – Activist Post Editor: According to ZeroHedge, Chelsea Manning has been officially released from incarceration while recovering in a hospital from her suicide attempt.
Judge Anthony Trenga of the Eastern District of Virginia said that because the grand jury was finished deliberating, Manning’s testimony was no longer necessary – ending the former Army analyst’s incarceration which began last May after refusing to appear before the panel and testify against Assange.
Apparently, she still faces $256,000 in fines for her non-cooperation.
Accused WikiLeaks whistleblower and former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning attempted to kill herself in the Alexandria, Virginia, jail where she has been held for a year following her refusal to testify before a federal grand jury.
Dell Cameron reports for Gizmodo:
Manning’s legal team confirmed the incident in an statement to Gizmodo. She is currently in the hospital and is recovering, they said. Manning was scheduled to appear before a judge on Friday regarding a motion to terminate the sanctions she’s faced for refusing to testify.
In a statement to Gizmodo, Manning’s lawyers said:
Ms. Manning is still scheduled to appear on Friday for a previously-calendared hearing, at which Judge Anthony Trenga will rule on a motion to terminate the civil contempt sanctions stemming from her May, 2019 refusal to give testimony before a grand jury investigating the publication of her 2010 disclosures. In spite of those sanctions — which have so far included over a year of so-called “coercive” incarceration and nearly half a million dollars in threatened fines — she remains unwavering in her refusal to participate in a secret grand jury process that she sees as highly susceptible to abuse. Ms. Manning has previously indicated that she will not betray her principles, even at risk of grave harm to herself.
Judge Anthony Trenga who is heading the case ordered cruel and unusual financial sanctions against Manning last year in addition to her confinement for refusing to testify. The fines Manning has so far incurred total to more than a quarter-million dollars.
As both the current and former administrations continue forward with an ongoing nine-year investigation into WikiLeaks since their 2010 leak of almost 100,000 State and Defense Department secret documents dubbed Cablegate pertaining to U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, neither administration has been able to charge a single member of WikiLeaks with a criminal indictment. Nor has any of the documents in the cache of leaks ever been successfully disputed in an international court or court of public opinion.
In that case, only the alleged source of the leak was punished: former U.S. intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning, who spent seven years in prison before former U.S. President Barack Obama commuted 28 years of her 35-year sentence on his way out of office, calling it “very disproportionate relative to what other leakers have received” and that “it makes sense to commute and not pardon her sentence.”
Now, Chelsea Manning is back in prison in solitary confinement for contempt of court in refusing to testify against WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, a testimony which the Department of Justice is hoping will create a perjurious statement.
U.S. DOJ originally gave Chelsea Manning limited immunity over her Grand Jury testimony and confirmed she was not herself a target. Assange’s extradition warrant/FBI affidavit dates from March 2018 and as such the DOJ does not need Manning’s testimony to indict him. In fact, it is improper for them to attempt to use a Grand Jury to prepare for a pending trial once he is extradited. Many feel the DOJ is trying to trick Manning into perjuring herself by giving a false statement over her original truthful trial testimony where she said her actions were not directed by Assange. The purpose of this would be to undermine Manning’s usefulness as a defense witness in Assange’s potential trial.
Earlier this month, TMU reported that Assange was ordered to face his extradition hearing in a glass box. During the hearing, it was revealed by Assange’s lawyers that the U.S. plotted to kidnap and possibly kill him.
Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and Julian Assange have all been nominated for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize by 17 members of a German parliamentary group.

You may have heard about American Embassy workers in China and Cuba who were injured by alleged exposure to microwave radiation weapons .
Unfortunately , Bluetooth , cell phones and other wireless WiFi devices and infrastructure are actually emitting harmful microwave radiation too .
Research has determined that exposure can do more than increase cancer risk ( see 1 , 2 ) .
In fact , exposure to all sources of Electromagnetic Radiation ( aka “ Electrosmog ” ) affects everybody .
Some simply tolerate it better than others .
Those who don ’ t may develop “ Microwave Sickness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ) or , of course , cancer .
Many doctors won ’ t consider Electrosmog exposure when diagnosing and treating patients .
Thanks to The EMF Academy for providing information on how to find doctors who will .
A cousin of mine is a physician , and when I asked him recently what he knew about , or what he had trained , in relation to Electro-hypersensitivity , or EHS , he said was not given any information at all .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that he had not even heard of the condition , but would likely treat it as some sort of allergy .
This baffled me .
In our wireless age , EMFs are affecting us more and more , and increasingly causing noticeable health decline .
He ’ s not to blame , though , his medical education has just not caught up with the world as it is .
Largely , this is the widespread denial and anti-information campaigns by electronics and mobile phone companies .
Most likely , if you consult @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or EHS symptoms , he will likely not quite understand or empathize .
The best thing you can do is be well informed , and ready and willing to share that knowledge with your physician .
I am not an expert , but I do research the best I can all things EMF radiation .
So I encourage you to read through the articles in the EMF Academy Knowledge section .
I also encourage you to research other websites , as there is some fantastic information ( and some not so good ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ save the articles you feel like will relate best to your medical professional and just take them with you and pass them along .
This will most likely help him/her to better understand and treat you ’ re symptoms .
Worst case , you ’ ll be spreading valuable information to a community of physicians that desperately needs to be better informed .
If you think you suffer from Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity , check out my guide EHS Disease – What it is and do you have it .
Don ’ t worry though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ll have some great resources for you to show your doctor .
However , before we get there , I think we need to talk a little bit more about what EMF sensitivity specialists are , how they test for EHS , and why this is so important .
What Is An EMF Sensitivity Doctor ?
Well , the first thing you need to understand is that for the most part , “ EMF Sensitivity Doctor ’ s ” aren ’ t really a thing .
What you ’ re actually typically talking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has training and understanding about the dangers of EMF radiation , and what EHS ( electro-hypersensitivity ) is , a naturopathic physician with training in EHS , or just a specialist in the area of EMF radiation who understands the common symptoms .
The first , a medical doctor with training in EHS , is honestly a bit rare .
Like I mentioned in the story at the beginning of this article , understanding EMF radiation and it ’ s effects on the human body are not topics that are in current medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States .
So , to find an MD that both understands these things , AND believes in them enough to treat his/her patients who show symptoms , is really rare .
However , these doctors do exist , and at the end of this article I ’ ll list some of the specialists I ’ m aware of and where you can find them .
Other then medical doctors trained in EHS , there are also some naturopaths who specialize in identifying the symptoms of EHS and helping you treat them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the ways to treat EHS , because I already have dozens of articles on the topic , however they will essentially work with you to identify your harshest sources of radiation exposure , and work with you to protect against those .
The need for EMF sensitivity doctors and specialists is becoming increasingly important as 5G continues to be rolled out , and cell-phones emit more and more radiation .
Now that we understand more about what EMF sensitivity doctors are , let ’ s look at what they actually treat .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ cell-phones , cell-towers , WiFi routers , power lines , and many other sources is ultimately harmful to the human body , and causes cumulative damage over time .
Some people are especially sensitive to this radiation and have what is called electromagnetic hypersensitivity , or EHS .
That doesn ’ t mean that the radiation is more harmful , it just means that they are more likely to experience obvious symptoms and seek out an EHS specialist or EMF sensitivity doctor .
Some of the symptoms that an EMF sensitivity doctor will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ especially in the hand and wrist And much more .
A good EMF sensitivity doctor or EHS specialist will not only help you identify the sources of these symptoms , but will put together an action plan to help reduce your exposure and get you better .
They ’ ll take a wholistic approach to understanding your needs and worries and help solve each .
If you are like me , and have a doctor who you aren ’ t sure will understand these needs , I ’ ve put together some resources @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Your Dr. About EMF Sensitivity and EHS I ’ ll list a few of my favorite resources that I found when I wanted to provide some valuable information to my physician cousin : • This One is amazing , and my absolute favorite resource .
