Op-Ed by Neenah Payne
Xi Jinping became president of China in 2013. Since the Chinese constitution was revised in 2018 to remove term limits for presidents, Xi may serve past his term ending in 2023 – perhaps for life! That has implications for the world. Most leaders have a vision for their nation. Trump’s vision is to “Make America Great Again”. President Xi has a vision for his country called the “China Dream”. However, Xi also has an expansive vision for the world. For that reason, he may be the world’s first global leader – the first CEO of the world. His dreams are revolutionizing not just China – but whole continents.
Xi’s vision for Africa includes massive investments in its infrastructure – building roads, highways, schools, universities, wells, airports, hospitals, and manufacturing centers. It’s a win-win proposition because China needs Africa’s mineral resources to industrialize – and buying them drives up the prices for Africa. China is part of the BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – a strong counter-weight to the Washington Consensus, IMF, World Bank, and European Union. Xi’s plan for the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) aka New Silk Road links 65 nations in Asia, Africa, and Europe in a reprisal of the old Silk Road for which China was famous for 1,000 years. China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is an alternative for developing nations to reliance on the International Monetary Fund or World Bank for loans which have imposed often punitive conditions.
The 2016 book Xi Jinping’s China Renaissance: Historical Mission and Great Power Strategy says that Xi is sounding the call for a Chinese Renaissance which is the most important issue in the 21st century as well as the most significant historical event in China’s 5,000 years. It points out:
Like Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, Xi Jinping is influencing the course of Chinese history, and his renaissance strategy will have a vast and far-reaching impact on China and the world.
The 2018 book The World According to Xi: Everything You Need to Know About the New China says:
China is now the most powerful country on earth. Its manufacturing underpins the world’s economy; its military is growing at the fastest rate of any nation and its leader — Xi Jinping — is to set the pace and tone of world affairs for decades. In 2017, Xi Jinping became part of the constitution — an honour not seen since Chairman Mao. Here, China expert Kerry Brown guides us through the world according to Xi.
So, the world needs to take a close look at Xi now to understand where he’s headed.
China In the Era of Xi Jinping
The 2017 book CEO, China: The Rise of Xi Jinping reveals:
China has become the powerhouse of the world economy….since the election of Xi Jinping…life at the top in China has changed. Under the guise of a corruption crackdown, which has seen his rivals imprisoned, Xi Jinping has been quietly building one of the most powerful leaderships modern China has ever seen. CEO China reveals the hidden story of the rise of the man dubbed the ‘Chinese Godfather’. Xi Jinping’s China is powerful, aggressive and single-minded and this book will become a must-read for the Western world.
The 2017 book China’s World: What Does China Want? warns:
In the next decade, China’s actions on the world stage will affect us all. A new superpower, with the largest population and GDP on the globe, there are now fears that China is becoming more assertive….Brown also assesses China’s extraordinary plan to create a `New Silk Road’ across Central Asia, one of the biggest infrastructure projects in modern history. In doing so he seeks to answer a simple question: what does China want? The answer lies in the unique way China thinks about the world….China’s World is an essential read for the Western world.
The 2015 book The Xi Jinping Era: His Comprehensive Strategy Toward the China Dream says:
China’s development has entered a new phase since the era of Mao and Deng Xiaoping. Its GDP has grown to more than 10 trillion US dollars, twice that of Japan’s and close to that of the United States; and Chinese diplomacy has taken on a more active profile as the nation moves towards superpower status on the world stage.… Xi Jinping …has developed a new philosophy of governance to confront these challenges. The result is a 30-year plan that is the roadmap to The China Dream, which has led to various programs such as…. the “Belt and Road Initiatives” meant to improve domestic infrastructure and broaden Chinese economic influence on the world stage….provides a preview of what we might expect from China in the Xi Jinping Era.
The 2016 book China in the Era of Xi Jinping: Domestic and Foreign Policy Challenges points out:
Since becoming president of China and general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping has emerged as China’s most powerful and popular leader since Deng Xiaoping. The breathtaking economic expansion and military modernization that Xi inherited has convinced him that China can transform into a twenty-first-century superpower.
Xi Jinping: Geo-Political Master or Strong Man?
The 2016 book Great Power Leader Xi Jinping: International Perspectives on China’s Leader highlights:
Xi Jinping, China’s top leader, is an historical figure who is taking China onto the world center stage. Xi Jinping has reshaped China. On corruption, he is impartial and merciless, refusing to do anything with relatives and friends, so that the most daring forecasters were amazed; On economic reform, he is bold and resolute, and won praise as the chief architect of China’s economy; on military issues, he initiated the boldest reforms since the Chinese Communist Party has been in power and the Chinese military is rapidly becoming stronger. He is also known as the new geo-political master. Since AIIB (Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank) was established, the United States and Japan have suffered the biggest diplomatic setbacks for decades, dramatically changed the international financial landscape. His “One Belt & One Road” initiative will profoundly change the international balance and will have a more far-reaching impact than the “Marshall Plan”. Calm, pragmatic, firm but gentle…. Xi Jinping is a great power leader who accepts the responsibility and has demonstrated the ability to make daring decisions. His books on governing China have sold in hundreds of countries all over the world. In his state visits to foreign countries, his casual speech and charm demonstrate soft power.
As Xi has become the world’s most powerful man, there are growing concerns about his abuse of that power at home and abroad in various ways. “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Protests Against “Emperor Xi”
The 2018 Taiwan News article Chinese netizens compare Xi’s rule to Qing Dynasty included a cover from The Economist and said:
After lawmakers in China’s rubber stamp congress on Sunday (March 11) removed presidential term limits, thus enabling Xi Jinping to possibly serve for life, some Chinese netizens have decried the move as a return to the Qing Dynasty. Yesterday, 2,958 out of 2,964 members of China’s National People’s Congress in Beijing voted in approval of a package of constitutional amendments that included the removal of a restriction limiting the president to two terms only, a system put in place by Deng Xiaoping in 1982 as an attempt to prevent a repeat of the brutal, lifelong dictatorship of Mao Zedong. […] Independent Beijing-based political commentator Zhang Lifan said, “This marks the biggest regression in China’s legal system since the reform and opening-up era of the 1980s,” reported Associated Press. Hu Jia, a Beijing-based activist, described the amendment as “illegal,” according to AFP. Hu called out Xi’s hypocrisy in calling for the people to obey the constitution, while he used it to make himself immune to it. […] Though the top cadres in China claim that the removal of term limits for Xi was called for by the “the masses,” no such referendum by the ordinary citizens of China had been put forward. In fact, the amendment was kept a secret until state-run media revealed it on Feb. 25, one week before the congress was to convene. Since the proposal of amendment was first made public, China’s censorship army has been working in overdrive to block terms such as “I disagree,” “emperor,” and even images of the cartoon character Winnie the Pooh, as his portly figure had humorously been compared to the chubby bear. Chinese students studying abroad in the Unites States and other countries are speaking out against the power grab of President Xi Jinping with a campaign entitled #NotMyPresident and also using the slogans and hash tag #IDISAGREE (#我不同意). The campaign can be followed at the twitter account @STOPXIJINPING.”
Four Major Concerns About Xi
The following four issues in Xi’s presidency are raising major concerns in China and abroad:
Revision of Constitution: Under Xi, the Chinese constitution was revised in 2018 to remove term limits for the presidency. Those limits were put in place by Deng Xiaoping to avoid the abuses that occurred under Mao Zedong. Genocide of Uighur: China is reportedly carrying out a genocide of the Uighur, a Muslim population in Western China. That huge territory is mineral rich and the Uighur stand in the way of Xi’s plan for the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) aka “The New Silk Road”. New Silk Road Abuses: There are multiple reported abuses by China of many nations all along the New Silk Road. China is forcing nations to pay for huge infrastructure they don’t need – and is then requiring that they pay 12% interest on the loans for those massive projects. See China’s New Silk Road: Abuses Abound. Social Credit Score: Starting this year, Chinese citizens are assigned a “Social Credit Score” based on their behavior. A poor credit score can bar people from using trains or planes for a year and from attending certain schools. See America Must Understand China’s Global Vision.
Time magazine’s article China’s Lurch Toward One-Man Rule Under Xi Jinping Should Worry Us All says:
China has ramped up censorship and clamped down on dissent since Xi, 64, took power in late 2012, coupled with incessant trolling of Western democracy as unstable, unpredictable and unable to deliver the goods…. The question remains whether China is set to repeat past mistakes where unquestioning observance to its leadership contributed to disasters like the Great Leap Forward of the 1950s and Cultural Revolution a decade later…. “It’s another piece of evidence that says be worried about a China led by Xi Jinping,” says Bisley. “Because if he’s happy to do this at home, then boy is he going to be happy to do it abroad.
Will The Coronavirus Derail China?
The coronavirus is a potentially devastating health threat and an economic threat to China and the world. It also threatens to undermine the political efficacy of President Xi’s autocratic rule.
The Time magazine article Coronavirus Could Derail Xi’s Dreams For China warns:
The novel coronavirus known as 2019-nCoV threatens more than the 24,000 people known to be infected as of Feb. 4 or the 492 it has killed. It also looms over the national rejuvenation project of President Xi Jinping and the rigid, top-down rule being tested by all that the disease brings with it, including distrust in a population the government pledged to keep safe. Since China belatedly acknowledged the severity of the outbreak, every organ of the Chinese state has been harnessed to enforce an unprecedented quarantine on 50 million people across 15 cities. China’s government has unleashed a 1 billion yuan ($142 million) war chest to fight the outbreak amid a frenzy of construction work that, among other feats, erected a 1,000-bed hospital in just 10 days.
The article adds:
Transparency is essential to public health. But in China, doctors who reported the reality of the outbreak have been arrested for “spreading rumors.” Officials were pictured pocketing supplies meant for frontline medical staff, who were reduced to cutting up office supplies for makeshift surgical masks….In the fall of 2017, Xi took the podium at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People to claim that China’s version of one-party autocracy offered an option for “countries that want to speed up their development while preserving their independence.” Western democracy was messy and flawed, the argument went. In the years since that speech, China’s hubris has grown, nurtured by the tumultuous U.S. presidency of Donald Trump and the disintegration of the multilateral world order. But the coronavirus crisis threatens to rattle China’s authoritarian apparatus. “A major test of China’s system and capacity for governance” senior party chiefs called it on Feb. 3.
The article discusses the threat the virus poses beyond health:
The 2019-nCoV outbreak is infecting some 2,000 people daily in China and has spread to at least 25 countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a “global health emergency.” And the fear is not limited to health. Global commerce now hinges on China’s $14.55 trillion economy, which in turn is governed by an opaque, authoritarian regime tightly coalesced around one man. Xi, burnished by a resurgent cult of personality, has amassed more power than any Chinese leader since Mao Zedong. He has leveraged Beijing’s economic clout to forward ambitions at home and abroad but also has struggled as no previous leader. “Since Xi came to power, problem after problem have occurred on his watch that he seems unable to effectively manage,” says Jude Blanchette, a China analyst at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. These include popular unrest in semiautonomous Hong Kong, a disruptive trade war with the U.S. and now an unfolding health crisis.”
The article concludes:
For decades, the sales pitch for China’s single-party rule was the superior performance of its political system when faced with both short-term crises and long-term challenges. It built thousands of miles of high-speed rail and helped drag hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. By 2022, McKinsey predicts 550 million Chinese will be able to call themselves middle class–about 1.5 times the current U.S. population. Still, that benevolent narrative has deteriorated under Xi. Now the coronavirus threatens to undermine further his mission to have China stake out the next century as America did the last.
How China Controls America Now
In The Daily Show video The NBA Takes Heat From China Over Tweet, host Trevor Noah reported that China lashed out at the National Basketball Association over a tweet by Daryl Morey, manager of the Houston Rockets, that supported Hong Kong pro-democracy protests. The video shows that fans were also ejected from a game for chanting support for Hong Kong.
When the NBA was criticized for caving into China, it tried to walk a very thin line. China responded by cancelling a Brooklyn Nets game at a Shanghai school and by pulling down huge Lakers and Nets posters. In addition, two major Chinese retailers pulled Houston Rockets merchandise from their websites. China’s state TV announced that it won’t broadcast or stream NBA pre-season games in China. In addition, China is cancelling NBA events. So, China has gone to war with the NBA over a single tweet!
The response by the NBA to threats by China was just the tip of the iceberg as one company after another has bowed to China. Businesses are willing to do so because they don’t want to lose access to over a billion Chinese customers!
Noah reported that the following companies issued apologies to China for various perceived offenses:
Activision Apple Coach Delta Airlines Marriott Mercedes Benz Nike The Gap Versace
In addition, Noah explained that China’s influence is now affecting how Americans can act on American soil! In a basketball match in Philadelphia between he 76ers and a Chinese team, an American man and his wife were evicted for displaying signs supporting the Hong Kong protests and chanting “Free Hong Kong!” However, NBA-China outrage reveals how free speech is being crushed by Washington’s new Cold War shows how complex this situation really is. There’s a lot more to it than meets the eye!

Freedom of the Press Foundation executive director Trevor Timm released this statement:

Earlier this month , Missouri peach farmer Bill Bader and his family-owned Bader Farms was awarded $ 265 million in a lawsuit against Monsanto , the controversial biochemical-agriculture company that is now owned by Bayer .

Earlier this month, Missouri peach farmer Bill Bader and his family-owned Bader Farms was awarded $265 million in a lawsuit against Monsanto, the controversial biochemical-agriculture company that is now owned by Bayer.
A unanimous jury awarded Bader and his farm $15 million in compensatory damages plus another $250 million in punitive damages.
Bader’s attorney Bill Randles said that the company has created an “ecological disaster” that has damaged the property, careers, and health of Bader and many others around the world.
“It’s very sad. He’s been the ‘peach guy.’ Now . . . his peach farm cannot survive,” Randles said in an interview with The Sierra Club.
Randles says that the company knowingly hurt people for the sake of profit.
“They knew they were going to hurt people, and they planned to make money off of it. It is that simple. There were a lot of documents in which they privately acknowledged the harm they’re causing,” Randles said.
The Bader lawsuit is just one of many that have been filed and won against the company since the dangers of its products were first discovered, and many more lawsuits are expected to come.
Bader’s lawsuit, along with several others expected soon, is in relation to the use of a chemical called Dicamba, which has been used by farmers for decades to kill weeds on their fields. Monsanto knew about these dangers but covered them up and encouraged farmers to use the product in conditions that were known to be dangerous.
This is not to be confused with the Roundup lawsuits, which involved a different chemical used in the company’s products, but overall, it’s the same type of situation. In both cases, Monsanto knew of how dangerous the chemicals were but continued to sell them anyway, and used their financial influence with regulators to bypass EPA guidelines, or simply have them changed.
Monsanto’s parent company Bayer, said that it was surprised by the ruling, and claimed that there was “no competent evidence presented” to show that Monsanto was responsible for the damages.
“BASF is convinced of the safety of its products when they are used correctly following the label instructions and stewardship guidelines,” the company said in a statement.
As Truth Theory reported last year, Monsanto targeted authors and journalists who reportedly negatively on its products and waged a propaganda war against them, which included spamming book pages and articles with negative reviews, and otherwise working to discredit critics.

Walmart Considers 5G for All Health Clinics and Stores Despite Warnings AND Illness Where It’s Been Activated

Since 2018 there have been reports of sudden illness among people and animals after 5G was turned on ( see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ) .
In December 2019 doctors , scientists , engineers , and public advocates asked President Trump for a moratorium on 5G because of health and safety risks ( see 1 , 2 , 3 ) .
Many cities and countries have taken action against 5G and even banned it including Switzerland .
Despite all of this AND the telecom industry giving congressional testimony that they have NO scientific evidence that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be promoted , installed and even celebrated in the U.S .
In fact , since the beginning of the year , the first American 5G-enabled school went live in Ohio and a 5G-enabled hospital for veterans was opened in California .
Now , Walmart may add 5G at all their stores and health clinics .
Ironically , Walmart and Verizon are in talks to outfit Walmart stores with powerful , wireless-radiation emitting antennas and other equipment to provide shoppers with new health clinic services .
Meanwhile , the U.S. National Toxicology Program recently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ found “ clear evidence ” of cancer associated with chronic , low-level exposure to wireless radiation .
So the question remains…are unnecessary , time-saving services worth the undeniable risks 5G radiation poses to consumers ’ health ?
If a deal is signed , it would be part of an effort inside the country ’ s largest retailer to remake its roughly 4,700 U.S. stores into hubs that draw shoppers for medical treatment and other services , not just groceries and clothes .
Walmart also could use the 5G services to improve cameras alerting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out-of-stock inventory .
So why is this happening ?
Even though some American elected officials are raising red flags about 5G , others continue to promote it as being what ’ s best for the country ( see 1 , 2 , 3 ) .
Misinformation about 5G has been reported by many sources including The New York Times , which also partnered with Verizon for a 5G Journalism Lab .
Sounds fishy , right ?
One of their reporters was even accused of violating a truth and accuracy code for this by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Of course exposure to all sources of cell phone and wireless WiFi radiation – 1G through 4G – is harmful AND pollution from Electromagnetic Radiation ( “ Electrosmog ” ) was also a problem before 5G .

Regardless , the “ Race for 5G ” does the opposite AND includes blasting it from space with satellites .

Since 2018 there have been reports of sudden illness among people and animals after 5G was turned on (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). In December 2019 doctors, scientists, engineers, and public advocates asked President Trump for a moratorium on 5G because of health and safety risks (see 1, 2, 3). Many cities and countries have taken action against 5G and even banned it including Switzerland.
Despite all of this AND the telecom industry giving congressional testimony that they have NO scientific evidence that 5G is safe, it continues to be promoted, installed and even celebrated in the U.S. In fact, since the beginning of the year, the first American 5G-enabled school went live in Ohio and a 5G-enabled hospital for veterans was opened in California. Now, Walmart may add 5G at all their stores and health clinics.
From 5G Crisis:
Ironically, Walmart and Verizon are in talks to outfit Walmart stores with powerful, wireless-radiation emitting antennas and other equipment to provide shoppers with new health clinic services. Meanwhile, the U.S. National Toxicology Program recently completed a $30 million-dollar study which found “clear evidence” of cancer associated with chronic, low-level exposure to wireless radiation. So the question remains…are unnecessary, time-saving services worth the undeniable risks 5G radiation poses to consumers’ health? From the Wall Street Journal: If a deal is signed, it would be part of an effort inside the country’s largest retailer to remake its roughly 4,700 U.S. stores into hubs that draw shoppers for medical treatment and other services, not just groceries and clothes. Walmart also could use the 5G services to improve cameras alerting staff to shoplifters or scanning shelves for out-of-stock inventory.
So why is this happening? Even though some American elected officials are raising red flags about 5G, others continue to promote it as being what’s best for the country (see 1, 2, 3).
Misinformation about 5G has been reported by many sources including The New York Times, which also partnered with Verizon for a 5G Journalism Lab. Sounds fishy, right? One of their reporters was even accused of violating a truth and accuracy code for this by the Press Council of Ireland. Bwah.
Of course exposure to all sources of cell phone and wireless WiFi radiation – 1G through 4G – is harmful AND pollution from Electromagnetic Radiation (“Electrosmog”) was also a problem before 5G. Environmentalists and health experts have also been saying we should be reducing sources of Electrosmog not increase them. Regardless, the “Race for 5G” does the opposite AND includes blasting it from space with satellites. That’s why opposition continues to increase in the U.S and worldwide.

activistpost--2020-03-06--Man Fined $500, Threatened with Jail for Criticizing Traffic Cameras Without a License

Portland , OR – Mats Järlström , an Oregon resident who trained in engineering in Sweden tried to tell officials in Oregon that he developed a safer method for timing traffic lights in 2014 .
Instead of listening , however , the state engineering board fined him for criticizing them .
Seriously .
Now , after refusing to back down against these tyrants for years , Järlström has finally been vindicated .
Last week , the official Journal of the Institute of Transportation Engineers said he was right .
The ITE sets traffic policy recommendations for the United States — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his formula , according to KOIN .
Järlström says Oregon laws make it illegal for anyone who isn ’ t a licensed engineer to criticize the state ’ s methods for timing traffic lights .
Järlström calls that an unconstitutional prohibition on free speech .

To be clear , Järlström was trying to make the town safer and because they are apparently drunk on authority , officials wanted nothing of it and in fact , moved to silence him .
The lawsuit was filed so he could continue his research to prove drivers making turns at intersections often get caught in a dilemma when they ’ re slowing down to make a turn and the yellow light @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2014 , however , Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying fined Järlström after finding his public discussion of the formula for traffic-light timing was “ clearly not protected speech.

If Mats continued to “ critique ” traffic lights , he would face thousands of dollars in fines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the unlicensed practice of engineering .
The board also said that Mats could not call himself an “ engineer , ” even though he has a degree in electrical engineering and decades of engineering experience .
Like most engineers in Oregon , Mats is not a state-licensed “ professional engineer , ” and state law provided that only licensed professional engineers could legally use the title “ engineer.

He says he worked in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Luxor Electronics before moving to Beaverton , Oregon , 20 years ago .

That sparked Järlström ’ s fascination with the mathematical formulas behind the timing of traffic lights .
Järlström says he dedicated his free time to researching the formulas before concluding they were unsafe and resulted in unfair traffic tickets .
The next year , Järlström sued Beaverton , claiming the Portland suburb programmed its yellow lights to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t have time to make it through an intersection before the lights turned red .
Järlström claimed the lights put drivers in danger of wrecks and said extending the length of yellow lights would dramatically reduce the number of tickets the city issued for running red lights .

Portland, OR – Mats Järlström, an Oregon resident who trained in engineering in Sweden tried to tell officials in Oregon that he developed a safer method for timing traffic lights in 2014. Instead of listening, however, the state engineering board fined him for criticizing them. Seriously. Now, after refusing to back down against these tyrants for years, Järlström has finally been vindicated.
Last week, the official Journal of the Institute of Transportation Engineers said he was right. The ITE sets traffic policy recommendations for the United States — and they said cities should be using his formula, according to KOIN.
“It is a big deal,” Järlström told KOIN 6 News. “It’s the top.”
Järlström says Oregon laws make it illegal for anyone who isn’t a licensed engineer to criticize the state’s methods for timing traffic lights. Järlström calls that an unconstitutional prohibition on free speech. So he sued them.
In a federal lawsuit, Järlström claimed Oregon’s Professional Engineer Registration Act illegally restricts discussion of public engineering projects to state-licensed engineers and creates a “government-run monopoly on engineering concepts.”

To be clear, Järlström was trying to make the town safer and because they are apparently drunk on authority, officials wanted nothing of it and in fact, moved to silence him. The lawsuit was filed so he could continue his research to prove drivers making turns at intersections often get caught in a dilemma when they’re slowing down to make a turn and the yellow light isn’t long enough.

activistpost--2020-03-06--Police are Keeping a List of People Who Tell Offensive Jokes (And Other Absurd Global News of the We

Police are Keeping a List of People Who Tell Offensive Jokes (And Other Absurd Global News of the Week)

Are you ready for this week ’ s absurdity ?
Here ’ s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty , your finances , and your prosperity… and on occasion , poetic justice .
Hillary Clinton ’ s Email Scandal Just Rose From the Dead Ignorance of the law is no excuse for you or me .
But somehow when Hillary Clinton broke the law while Secretary of State , it was her intentions that mattered .
As everyone knows by now , Clinton stored confidential , top secret @ @ @ @ @ @ @ server while she was Secretary of State .
She got off the hook because she claimed that she didn ’ t intend to violate the law… she didn ’ t realize that what she was doing was totally illegal .
That ’ s why she ’ s not rotting in a prison cell , even though you or I would be turning big rocks into little rocks in a DayGlo Orange jumpsuit if we had committed an equivalent crime .
But a group called Judicial Watch wasn ’ t as quick to let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Act requests , they continued to uncover more and more details of the case and bringing it all to court .
And as the judge in the case commented , “ With each passing round of discovery , the Court is left with more questions than answers.
” Therefore a federal judge has permitted another round of discovery .
This means Hillary Clinton will be forced to sit for an interview with government officials to answer “ significant questions ” about her violation of the law .
Click here to read the full @ @ @ @ @ @ @ list of people who tell offensive jokes Scottish Internet users better be careful of the jokes they tell online– you might end up on a government watchlist .
A Freedom of Information request revealed that 3,300 “ non-crime hate incidents ” have been logged in a police database .
Hundreds of people were added to the list last year for making offensive jokes or rude comments online .
Police say they track these individuals just in case their humor crosses the line into illegal territory .
For example , a couple years ago @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for teaching his pug a Nazi salute .
They guy may have been way too sophomoric… but when did it become a crime to be immature and offensive ?
And now free speech is being monitored for signs of criminality .
Plus , with certain types of background checks , potential employers could see that these innocent people have been logged social media posts deemed to be offensive by the government .
Click here to read the full story .
School forbade kids from saying no when asked to dance I just love @ @ @ @ @ @ @ middle school in Utah was gearing up to host its Valentine ’ s Day dance .
And in an effort to make sure that all students felt “ welcome , comfortable , safe , and included , ” the school adopted a policy forcing the kids to dance with anyone who asked them .
And sure enough , when an 11-year old girl was asked to dance by a boy who creeped her out , the principal forced them to dance together .
This is pretty much the opposite of # MeToo .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ sure that no student was upset or offended , they violated one of the most basic consent rules in our society .
This is the paradox of wokeness : it ’ s absolutely impossible to prevent people from feeling upset , offended , excluded , or rejected .

Update : not illegal to remove cops ’ GPS from your car In December we talked about police who suspected a man of selling drugs .
They placed a GPS tracker on his car , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got a warrant to search the man ’ s property for the “ stolen ” GPS .
While searching for the GPS , they found drugs .
Now the case against him for theft of the GPS has been dismissed along with the evidence of drug crimes .
The courts said it was all collected illegally , because the GPS was never stolen in the first place .

Update : woman pleads guilty to being topless in her own home We ’ ve been following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charged with sex crimes for being topless in her own home .
She and her husband had removed their shirts after installing insulation .
Because her step-children saw her barechested , Tilli was charged with “ child sex abuse ” under Utah criminal code 76-9-702.5 ( 2 ) ( a ) ( ii ) ( B ) for exposing “ the female breast below the top of the areola .
.
.
” That left her facing the possibility of having to register as a child sex offender .
Originally she tried to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grounds , since it treated male and female nipples differently .
But when she lost that case , she opted to take a plea deal .
The charges were downgraded so she won ’ t be considered a sex offender .
Tilli will pay $ 600 and the case will be dismissed in a year if she doesn ’ t commit any crimes .
It ’ s pretty pathetic that she was ever charged in the first place , and sad that this is what the justice system wastes resources on .

Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, your finances, and your prosperity… and on occasion, poetic justice.
Hillary Clinton’s Email Scandal Just Rose From the Dead
Ignorance of the law is no excuse for you or me.
But somehow when Hillary Clinton broke the law while Secretary of State, it was her intentions that mattered.
As everyone knows by now, Clinton stored confidential, top secret emails on a personal, unsecured email server while she was Secretary of State.
She got off the hook because she claimed that she didn’t intend to violate the law… she didn’t realize that what she was doing was totally illegal.
That’s why she’s not rotting in a prison cell, even though you or I would be turning big rocks into little rocks in a DayGlo Orange jumpsuit if we had committed an equivalent crime.
But a group called Judicial Watch wasn’t as quick to let it go.
Using Freedom of Information Act requests, they continued to uncover more and more details of the case and bringing it all to court. And as the judge in the case commented, “With each passing round of discovery, the Court is left with more questions than answers.”
Therefore a federal judge has permitted another round of discovery. This means Hillary Clinton will be forced to sit for an interview with government officials to answer “significant questions” about her violation of the law.

For example, a couple years ago a Scottish YouTuber was arrested and convicted for teaching his pug a Nazi salute.
They guy may have been way too sophomoric… but when did it become a crime to be immature and offensive?
And now free speech is being monitored for signs of criminality.
Plus, with certain types of background checks, potential employers could see that these innocent people have been logged social media posts deemed to be offensive by the government.

School forbade kids from saying no when asked to dance
I just love it when wokeness contradicts itself.
A middle school in Utah was gearing up to host its Valentine’s Day dance. And in an effort to make sure that all students felt “welcome, comfortable, safe, and included,” the school adopted a policy forcing the kids to dance with anyone who asked them.
And sure enough, when an 11-year old girl was asked to dance by a boy who creeped her out, the principal forced them to dance together.
This is pretty much the opposite of #MeToo.
And in their ridiculous effort to make sure that no student was upset or offended, they violated one of the most basic consent rules in our society.
This is the paradox of wokeness: it’s absolutely impossible to prevent people from feeling upset, offended, excluded, or rejected.

Update: not illegal to remove cops’ GPS from your car
In December we talked about police who suspected a man of selling drugs.
They placed a GPS tracker on his car, but the man removed it. So the police got a warrant to search the man’s property for the “stolen” GPS.
While searching for the GPS, they found drugs.
Now the case against him for theft of the GPS has been dismissed along with the evidence of drug crimes.
The courts said it was all collected illegally, because the GPS was never stolen in the first place.

Update: woman pleads guilty to being topless in her own home
We’ve been following the case of Tilli Buchanan who was charged with sex crimes for being topless in her own home.
She and her husband had removed their shirts after installing insulation. Because her step-children saw her barechested, Tilli was charged with “child sex abuse” under Utah criminal code 76-9-702.5(2)(a)(ii)(B) for exposing “the female breast below the top of the areola. . .”
That left her facing the possibility of having to register as a child sex offender.
Originally she tried to challenge the law itself under equal protection grounds, since it treated male and female nipples differently.
But when she lost that case, she opted to take a plea deal. The charges were downgraded so she won’t be considered a sex offender.
Tilli will pay $600 and the case will be dismissed in a year if she doesn’t commit any crimes.
It’s pretty pathetic that she was ever charged in the first place, and sad that this is what the justice system wastes resources on.

activistpost--2020-03-06--Gold Is the Strongest Currency Since the Coronavirus Scare

Another tumultuous week in equity and interest rate markets has helped fuel a big pop in safe-haven demand for gold and silver .
The major market moving event was , of course , the Federal Reserve ’ s emergency rate cut on Tuesday .
The Fed slashed its overnight funds rate by 50 basis points .
But even before the Fed acted , the bond market had already forced its hand as yields on the 10-year Treasury note plunged to record low levels .
By Friday morning , the 10-year treasury yielded less than a paltry 0.90 % .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the risk involved .
Bond buyers are apparently willing to make a decade-long bet on U.S. government finances remaining solid and inflation remaining extremely low .
It ’ s still possible for bonds to experience capital appreciation if rates ultimately head to zero or below – as they have already done in other parts of the world .
The Fed is almost certain to cut rates again .
There is a good chance at least some portion of the yield curve will be at zero later in the year .
As central bankers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. dollar is likely to come under downside pressure .
If for no other reason than the Fed still has room to cut rates further while much of the rest of the developed world has already run out of conventional tools to depreciate their currencies .
There has been lots of talk of “ coordinated action ” among world central banks .
Perhaps they will all get together and roll out some sort of global quantitative easing or other unconventional form of stimulus .
Since zero and even negative interest rates haven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ maybe they will just try dropping cash out of helicopters – or whatever the digital equivalent may be .
Gold is emerging as the strongest currency in the world since the outbreak of the coronavirus .
Although the monetary metal got hammered in futures markets in last Friday ’ s trading , it has quickly recouped those losses .
Gold is showing tremendous relative strength versus the stock market , which continues to swing wildly on a daily basis .
The Dow Jones Industrial Average has so far suffered just a sharp correction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just a month ago that the blue-chip average was hitting new record highs .
But when measured in term of gold , the Dow is in a major bear market .
In fact , the Dow : gold ratio dropped this week to a 3-year low of 15.6:1 .
Another ratio we monitor closely is the gold : silver ratio .
It is now trading at an extreme high of about 96:1 .
You ’ d have to go all the way back to 1991 to find gold selling at a more elevated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ briefly .
If coronavirus fears continue to drive markets , then gold could potentially spike to 100 times the silver price .
But we suspect that when markets finally calm down and prospects for the global economy improve , silver will begin playing catch-up to gold .
And it has a long way to go to get back to a more historically typical relationship with its more prestigious counterpart .
We are also seeing a big surge in demand for silver bullion products .
The U.S. Mint reported that it sold 675,000 Silver @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of March .
By comparison , it supplied dealers with just 650,000 Silver Eagles for the entire month of February .
Coming off of three years of subpar demand for physical precious metals – the downturn really began after the election of Donald Trump in November 2016 – this year could see a significant rebound .
Although fears of a debilitating global pandemic may fade – and we certainly hope they do – other drivers of bullion buying are likely to persist .
The Fed ’ s return to zero interest rate policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attractive place to hold wealth .
Plus , we could see rising political uncertainties and worries heading into this fall ’ s election – especially if investors fear the outcome could be bad for Wall Street .
The threat of an overt socialist becoming president seems to have subsided with Bernie Sanders losing several key states to Joe Biden on Super Tuesday .

But even before the Fed acted, the bond market had already forced its hand as yields on the 10-year Treasury note plunged to record low levels.
By Friday morning, the 10-year treasury yielded less than a paltry 0.90%. That represents almost no reward in exchange for the risk involved. Bond buyers are apparently willing to make a decade-long bet on U.S. government finances remaining solid and inflation remaining extremely low.
It’s still possible for bonds to experience capital appreciation if rates ultimately head to zero or below – as they have already done in other parts of the world. The Fed is almost certain to cut rates again. There is a good chance at least some portion of the yield curve will be at zero later in the year.
As central bankers act furiously to devalue cash assets, the U.S. dollar is likely to come under downside pressure. If for no other reason than the Fed still has room to cut rates further while much of the rest of the developed world has already run out of conventional tools to depreciate their currencies.
There has been lots of talk of “coordinated action” among world central banks. Perhaps they will all get together and roll out some sort of global quantitative easing or other unconventional form of stimulus. Since zero and even negative interest rates haven’t had the desired effect, maybe they will just try dropping cash out of helicopters – or whatever the digital equivalent may be.
Gold is emerging as the strongest currency in the world since the outbreak of the coronavirus. Although the monetary metal got hammered in futures markets in last Friday’s trading, it has quickly recouped those losses.
Gold is showing tremendous relative strength versus the stock market, which continues to swing wildly on a daily basis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has so far suffered just a sharp correction in the big picture. It was just a month ago that the blue-chip average was hitting new record highs.
But when measured in term of gold, the Dow is in a major bear market. In fact, the Dow:gold ratio dropped this week to a 3-year low of 15.6:1.
Another ratio we monitor closely is the gold:silver ratio. It is now trading at an extreme high of about 96:1. You’d have to go all the way back to 1991 to find gold selling at a more elevated premium to silver – and then only briefly.
If coronavirus fears continue to drive markets, then gold could potentially spike to 100 times the silver price. But we suspect that when markets finally calm down and prospects for the global economy improve, silver will begin playing catch-up to gold. And it has a long way to go to get back to a more historically typical relationship with its more prestigious counterpart.
We are also seeing a big surge in demand for silver bullion products. The U.S. Mint reported that it sold 675,000 Silver Eagles in just the first three days of March. By comparison, it supplied dealers with just 650,000 Silver Eagles for the entire month of February.

Although fears of a debilitating global pandemic may fade – and we certainly hope they do – other drivers of bullion buying are likely to persist.
The Fed’s return to zero interest rate policy makes hard money look like an increasingly attractive place to hold wealth. Plus, we could see rising political uncertainties and worries heading into this fall’s election – especially if investors fear the outcome could be bad for Wall Street.
The threat of an overt socialist becoming president seems to have subsided with Bernie Sanders losing several key states to Joe Biden on Super Tuesday. But Sanders is still winning the youth vote overwhelmingly. That large and growing cohort of radical leftists could propel more AOC types into Congress and into powerful positions at the state and local level.
Both Joe Biden and President Trump will talk a lot about unifying the country on the campaign trail. But the reality is that the U.S. is likely to remain as politically polarized as ever. There are no bipartisan solutions in sight for chronic problems such as trillion-dollar budget deficits.

A NIH 2017 study revealed that 5 minutes on a cell phone can cause significant memory impairment .

Study: Cell Phone Radiation Leads to Memory Damage In Teens
With research like this – as well as children and adults being exposed to increased amounts of cell phone and WiFi radiation 24/7 – it seems realistic to expect a “surging” number of Millennials experiencing early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.
From Philly Voice:
Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease traditionally have been considered a concern for older generations. But recent spikes in early onset of these conditions in Americans as young as 30 suggest a different story. Between 2013 and 2017, early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s diagnoses increased by 83% among commercially insured Americans aged 30 to 44, according to a report released by the health care insurer. That age group includes the oldest millennials. Overall, early-onset diagnoses increased by 200% among commercially insured Americans between ages 30 to 64. That included a 50% jump among those 45 to 54 and by 40% for those aged 55 to 64. The average patient was diagnosed at age 49. Read full article
