Activist Post has reported before about Dr. Oz and other celebrities voicing their concerns and also reducing their exposure to cell phone and WiFi radiation (see 1, 2. 3, 4). Some were avoiding it long before 5G technology started being installed worldwide (see 1, 2).
Now, additional famous voices are sounding the alarm on 5G. They are also being labelled as “conspiracy theorists” for speaking out. Whatever. Since 2011 The World Health Organization (WHO) has also been warning about health risks from wireless exposure. Unfortunately, the agency seem to be making little to no reference to this during the pandemic which is now being used as an excuse by 5G proponents to speed up installation (see 1, 2) despite reports of illnesses where 5G has been turned on (see 1. 2, 3, 4). Argh.

Amazon , which has been inundated with protests by workers who want better working conditions during the coronavirus pandemic , will now be screening its employees for fevers using thermal cameras it has installed at some of its warehouses in the U.S. with plans to expand those efforts to European locations as well .
According to Reuters , the cameras have been installed in at least six warehouses outside Los Angeles and Seattle which is largely seen as Amazon ’ s headquarters .
Almost surely we can expect these to roll out across different Amazon warehouses in the coming weeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how much heat people emit relative to their surroundings .
They require less time and contact than forehead thermometers , earlier adopted by Amazon , the workers said , ” Reuters wrote .
Especially since reports have stated the coronavirus has been reported among Amazon ’ s workers at more than 50 of the company ’ s U.S. warehouses .
This has caused protests and unions to call for Amazon to shut down its warehouses and better prioritize worker safety , demanding Amazon gives employees PPE ( personal protective equipment ) such as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and said it would start to offer face masks and begin checking hundreds of thousands of its employees for fevers daily at all its U.S. and European warehouses .
The latter seems to be a harder effort ; apparently it ’ s less productive to scan everyone ’ s forehead with a traditional thermometer .
Instead , the company has opted for the new trend sweeping other businesses as well : invasive thermal cameras .
Other businesses now looking at implementing thermal cameras include Intel , Tyson , and Walmart .
Not only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but the orders themselves from manufactures like U.S.-based FLIR Systems Inc , UK-based Thermoteknix Systems Ltd and Israel ’ s Opgal Optronic Industries Ltd , have surged according to Dailymail .
According to Reuters , at Amazon the procedure still includes a thermometer check for those who are flagged by the cameras .
However , this is more than expected everywhere , so such a system could speed up temperature checks at businesses .
But the Orwellian caveat here is that you are permanently giving up your privacy rights when it comes to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like a good idea now , but long after this pandemic is over those same structures will remain in the work place .

Amazon, which has been inundated with protests by workers who want better working conditions during the coronavirus pandemic, will now be screening its employees for fevers using thermal cameras it has installed at some of its warehouses in the U.S. with plans to expand those efforts to European locations as well.
According to Reuters, the cameras have been installed in at least six warehouses outside Los Angeles and Seattle which is largely seen as Amazon’s headquarters. Almost surely we can expect these to roll out across different Amazon warehouses in the coming weeks.
“The cameras in effect measure how much heat people emit relative to their surroundings. They require less time and contact than forehead thermometers, earlier adopted by Amazon, the workers said,” Reuters wrote.
Especially since reports have stated the coronavirus has been reported among Amazon’s workers at more than 50 of the company’s U.S. warehouses. This has caused protests and unions to call for Amazon to shut down its warehouses and better prioritize worker safety, demanding Amazon gives employees PPE (personal protective equipment) such as N95 masks.
Amazon conceded to demands and said it would start to offer face masks and begin checking hundreds of thousands of its employees for fevers daily at all its U.S. and European warehouses. The latter seems to be a harder effort; apparently it’s less productive to scan everyone’s forehead with a traditional thermometer. Instead, the company has opted for the new trend sweeping other businesses as well: invasive thermal cameras.
Other businesses now looking at implementing thermal cameras include Intel, Tyson, and Walmart.
Not only has interest in thermal cameras skyrocketed, but the orders themselves from manufactures like U.S.-based FLIR Systems Inc, UK-based Thermoteknix Systems Ltd and Israel’s Opgal Optronic Industries Ltd, have surged according to Dailymail.
According to Reuters, at Amazon the procedure still includes a thermometer check for those who are flagged by the cameras. However, this is more than expected everywhere, so such a system could speed up temperature checks at businesses. But the Orwellian caveat here is that you are permanently giving up your privacy rights when it comes to your own health. It may seem like a good idea now, but long after this pandemic is over those same structures will remain in the work place.

It’s also worth mentioning that fevers can be masked by over-the-counter drugs (OTC).

Facebook has removed several pages promoting protests against state quarantine orders designed to slow the spread of coronavirus.
The social media giant acknowledged removing the posts promoting protests in California, New Jersey and Nebraska which violated measures taken by governors to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Facebook has been the main main hub for the coordination and promotion of these events, bringing together anti-government and conspiracy-minded fringe activists, including militia groups, religious fundamentalists and anti-vaccination proponents, with the common cause of ending state and federal efforts to restrict freedom of movement to halt the coronavirus’ spread. –NBC News
“Unless government prohibits the event during this time, we allow it to be organized on Facebook,” said Facebook. “For this same reason, events that defy government’s guidance on social distancing aren’t allowed on Facebook,” said Facebook spokesman Andy Stone in a statement to the Washington Post.
Says it is working to get answers from New York, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania as to whether anti-quarantine protests breaks those states’ social distancing measures. — Donie O’Sullivan (@donie) April 20, 2020

activistpost--2020-04-20--Russians Launch Mass Virtual Protests Using SatNav Application

Russia is the midst of a strict COVID-19 lockdown .
Although protesters can not take to the streets , they are still holding mass demonstrations — digitally .
Today , residents of the southern city of Rostov-on-Don gathered outside the local government building to protest the strict self-isolation regime , which has been in force in the region since early April .
They also demand the payment of social benefits to those who have lost their jobs as the country fights to contain the pandemic .
These “ gatherings ” are being conducted through Yandex.Navigator , an application run by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ giants .
The popular SatNav tool allows drivers themselves to report on the traffic situation on roads in real time .

” reads the comment in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ OK , so cancel taxes , loans , and so on , ” and “ declare a state of emergency or stop restrictions on people , ” read those on the centre and right .

Russia is the midst of a strict COVID-19 lockdown. Although protesters cannot take to the streets, they are still holding mass demonstrations — digitally.
Today, residents of the southern city of Rostov-on-Don gathered outside the local government building to protest the strict self-isolation regime, which has been in force in the region since early April. They also demand the payment of social benefits to those who have lost their jobs as the country fights to contain the pandemic.
These “gatherings” are being conducted through Yandex.Navigator, an application run by one of Russia’s biggest digital giants. The popular SatNav tool allows drivers themselves to report on the traffic situation on roads in real time. That feature has allowed users with an axe to grind to tag themselves in politically symbolic locations and write protest slogans in their comments. Many are enraged at the financial losses they have suffered as a result of self-isolation, and blame the state for not offering enough support. “No money to pay off loans! What are we supposed to do?” reads the comment in the left-hand screenshot in the image above. “OK, so cancel taxes, loans, and so on,” and “declare a state of emergency or stop restrictions on people,” read those on the centre and right.
Local media, such as the Don-TV television channel, soon picked up on the protest:
A virtual protest is being held in Rostov due to the introduction of new permits [i.e. quarantine regime restrictions]
Just a few hours later, these “rallies in absentia” had spread across the country, from Moscow to St Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, and Nizhny Novgorod. Suddenly, the application was showing the empty squares and streets of cities in lockdown as “congested”. By the time the feature had arisen in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, the popular blogger Alexander Plushchev asked the following on his Telegram channel:
Translation
Original Quote I feel that by this evening, digital rallies will have taken over the whole country. Don’t those in the Kremlin get that? Alexander Plushchev, Telegram, 20 April 2020
These rallies are even more resonant given the notorious bureaucratic difficulties of holding protests “in person” in recent years. In Russia, mass protests require prior authorisation from the police — without it, citizens must protest alone, which has made “lone pickets” a staple of Russian political demonstrations in recent years. Under these conditions, online protest is an attractive alternative, particularly when there has been much to protest against of late. In space of a year, Russia has seen mass protests against the exclusion of independent opposition candidates from local elections and most recently against proposed constitutional changes which will permit President Vladimir Putin further terms in office. The No! movement has declared an online protest against the latter, to be held on April 28.
There are no legal obstacles per se to today’s “online rallies”. But it may be too early to gloat.
While Russian social media users are increasingly at the mercy of the authorities for strongly expressed oppositional statements online, the comments left on the Yandex.Navigator app were initially not moderated at all. The platform is, admittedly, not the most obvious one for political dissent. However, by late afternoon a Yandex spokesman told the daily newspaper Vedomosti that “any messages which do not concern the situation on the roads or contain profanity are always deleted,” and added that the large number of such messages could interfere with loading the app and therefore navigation.
Yandex eventually started to “disperse” the online protests by deleting the comments. Here Oleg Stepanov, a coordinator for the headquarters of prominent opposition campaigner Alexey Navalny, suggests writing more, with renewed vigour:
Прямо сейчас Яндекс разгоняет «несогласованный митинг» против Путина на Красной площади! Москвичи оставляют сотни комментариев, но администраторы их мгновенно удаляют. Попробуйте сами https://t.co/RCrZAqosdp pic.twitter.com/yYmpvYzqMH — Олег Степанов (@olsnov) April 20, 2020
Right now Yandex is dispersing an “unsanctioned protest” against Putin on Red Square! Muscovites are leaving hundreds of comments, but administrators are deleting them in multitudes. Try for yourself.
Yandex, like Russia’s other digital giants, has come under increasingly strong influence from the government in recent months. It is required to keep data about Russian users in Russian jurisdiction and transfer these data to the security services upon request. Sarkis Darbinyan of Roskomsvoboda, an NGO monitoring online freedoms in Russia, pointed out today in comments to Kod Durova that while Russia’s protesters may have been particularly cunning in finding another platform for dissent, that didn’t necessarily make them safer:
Translation
Original Quote Of course, they can easily put a stop to all this. Everybody understands that Yandex is on a friendly footing with the presidential administration, and if it issues the appropriate orders, then Yandex will either simply switch off these “little chats” or start cleaning them up manually with the help of its moderators. Furthermore, don’t forget that any information about users shouting about a certain “Cutin” who is a “Dock” can be handed over to law enforcement agencies, who can then consider whether to bring a criminal or an administrative case against them.
Against the backdrop of this colourful story, it’s important to remember that some Russian citizens are violating the self-isolation regime and are protesting for real. Today, several hundred residents of Vladikavkaz, capital of the Republic of North Ossetia, took to the streets to demand the resignation of the governor of the impoverished region in Russia’s North Caucasus. They argue that they cannot afford to self-isolate, and demand financial compensation. Theirs is no virtual protest — and mostly worryingly of all, some prominent protesters entertain conspiracy theories about the pandemic, and believe that the virus poses no threat to their health.

activistpost--2020-04-20--New Numbers: Economic Downturn Could Kill Hundreds of Thousands of Children in 2020

Even the most authoritarian of all regimes , the U.N. , is warning about the upcoming death toll due to the economic destruction by governments .
The United Nations is saying hundreds of thousands of children are likely to die in the upcoming year because of the economic depression caused by the lockdowns .
Let ’ s be clear : the pandemic didn ’ t cause the economy to crash .
The tyrannical and draconian commands from governments and people willing to obey those commands crashed the economy .
On Thursday , the United Nations warned that in addition to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ millions more could fall into extreme poverty as a result of the economic crisis .
That ’ s far more severe than the virus has proven to be .
The world body also said in a risk report that nearly 369 million children across 143 countries who normally rely on school meals for a reliable source of daily nutrition have now been forced to look elsewhere .
They Don ’ t Want You To Know The Truth !
It ’ s Time To End The Tyrannical Lockdown Ourselves “ We must act now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children , ” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said .
“ Leaders must do everything in their power to cushion the impact of the pandemic .
What started as a public health emergency has snowballed into a formidable test for the global promise to leave no one behind.
” Unfortunately , “ leaders ” have failed .
“ Leaders ” have caused the economic depression and “ leaders ” can not fix anything .
It ’ s up to the rest of us .
According to a report by Reuters , the U.N. report @ @ @ @ @ @ @ families as a result of the global economic downturn could result in hundreds of thousands of additional child deaths in 2020 , reversing the last 2 to 3 years of progress in reducing infant mortality within a single year.
” We can do something about this .
Governments have no desire to have a booming economy or see people capable of taking care of themselves .
What can we do ?
Disobey .
Open your business , go about your life , and live as you own yourself because you do .
Governments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intend to drag out the misery for as long as possible to prove they have the power to do so .

Even the most authoritarian of all regimes, the U.N., is warning about the upcoming death toll due to the economic destruction by governments. The United Nations is saying hundreds of thousands of children are likely to die in the upcoming year because of the economic depression caused by the lockdowns.
Let’s be clear: the pandemic didn’t cause the economy to crash. The tyrannical and draconian commands from governments and people willing to obey those commands crashed the economy.

On Thursday, the United Nations warned that in addition to the deaths of children, tens of millions more could fall into extreme poverty as a result of the economic crisis. That’s far more severe than the virus has proven to be. The world body also said in a risk report that nearly 369 million children across 143 countries who normally rely on school meals for a reliable source of daily nutrition have now been forced to look elsewhere.
They Don’t Want You To Know The Truth! It’s Time To End The Tyrannical Lockdown Ourselves
“We must act now on each of these threats to our children,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said. “Leaders must do everything in their power to cushion the impact of the pandemic. What started as a public health emergency has snowballed into a formidable test for the global promise to leave no one behind.”
Unfortunately, “leaders” have failed. “Leaders” have caused the economic depression and “leaders” cannot fix anything. It’s up to the rest of us.
According to a report by Reuters, the U.N. report warned that “economic hardship experienced by families as a result of the global economic downturn could result in hundreds of thousands of additional child deaths in 2020, reversing the last 2 to 3 years of progress in reducing infant mortality within a single year.”
We can do something about this. Governments have no desire to have a booming economy or see people capable of taking care of themselves. What can we do? Disobey. Open your business, go about your life, and live as you own yourself because you do. Governments won’t end the shutdown and intend to drag out the misery for as long as possible to prove they have the power to do so.
We have to end the tyranny now and we have to do it ourselves.
Even evidence from tyrants is showing that the shutdown has done more harm than the virus. It is time to wake up to what’s being done and push back. We all need to let all people in government know that we know they want to use fear to control us, and we won’t be accepting that any longer by disobeying their tyrannical commands.

United Airlines confirmed the carnage hitting US airlines today when it reported a $ 2.1 billion loss for first quarter as the coronavirus pandemic drove travel demand down to the lowest level in decades .

United Airlines confirmed the carnage hitting US airlines today when it reported a $2.1 billion loss for first quarter as the coronavirus pandemic drove travel demand down to the lowest level in decades.
United said revenue plunged 17% in the first quarter from a year ago to $8 billion which as a reminder is largely due to the collapse in traffic in just the second half of March, so one can imagine what happens in all of Q2 should the situation fail to normalize.
With revenues unlikely to return any time soon even as losses mount, the Chicago-based airline said it applied for up to $4.5 billion in government loans on top of about $5 billion federal payroll grants and loans it also expects to receive to weather the crisis. As CNBC details, United was the first major U.S. airline to detail the results — while they are preliminary — of the virus on its results in the first three months of the year. The disease and harsh measures to stop it from spreading such as stay-at-home orders has ravaged air travel demand and and prompted carriers to slash most of their flights.
And as US airlines face a bleak future of depressed traffic and volatile revenue well into 2021, they are preparing to cut costs to the bone. As Bloomberg reports, the next big crunch date for airlines is this fall, when billions of dollars in government assistance will come to an end. As a result, key carriers including Delta and United have already begun openly contemplating how they will shrink operations, and one analyst expects that as many as 105,000 jobs could be lost industry-wide.
“Without a quick improvement in demand, we could see the airlines look to shed 800 to 1,000 aircraft, which could result in a reduction of 95,000 to 105,000 airline jobs,” Cowen analyst Helane Becker wrote in an April 13 client note. “The rightsizing of the fleet and work force is an unfortunate truth.”
“The challenging economic outlook means we have some tough decisions ahead as we plan for our airline, and our overall workforce, to be smaller than it is today,” United’s chief executive and president, Oscar Munoz and Scott Kirby, wrote in an April 15 employee memo.
As a reminder, under the terms of the $50 billion government bailout, airlines are barred from slashing jobs through Sept. 30 but they’re already warning employees that cuts are almost inevitable. The planned contraction reflects a widespread belief that 2020 revenues could shrink to levels not seen in years. Recovery will probably be a long-term affair, said Cowen & Co., which predicted that ticket sales may not rebound to pre-pandemic levels until 2025.
Unable to cut jobs or salaries while receiving grants to cover payroll, airlines will staff their typical summer peak largely as usual, even with millions of fewer travelers. But come fall, it will get ugly for employees unless the government bailout is rolled into 2021. “We’re going to be smaller coming out of this,” Delta CFO Paul Jacobson told employees last month. “Certainly quite a bit smaller than when we went into it.”
The upcoming mass layoffs will add to 87,000 employees – more than one quarter of the Big Three airlines’ workforce – who have taken voluntary leaves, early retirement or reduced work hours in the past two months.
Carriers face “the worst cash crisis in the history of flight,” with booked revenues down 103% year over year, according to industry lobby Airlines for America. Domestic flights are averaging just 10 passengers while international flights average 24, the group said.
Once laid off, those employees have years of unemployment to look forward to.
While airlines foresee an uptick in bargain-hunting leisure travelers this summer, rich travelers will take longer to win back. Corporations will be reluctant to assume the liability of putting employees back in the sky with Covid-19 still in wide circulation. Plus, many companies have learned to function via video conference—which is a lot cheaper than a business class seat.
According to Bloomberg, the airline industry generally has taken three to four years to fully recover from major disruptions, said Samuel Engel, head of the aviation group at consultant ICF.

Investment demand for physical gold and silver is unrelenting. Buying activity actually picked up slightly last week as paper gold and silver prices drifted sideways to lower.
Once again, anyone simply watching the gold price on CNBC would be shocked to know just how many people are buying gold.
The Fed, and the cabal of Wall Street Banks it represents, are undoubtedly relieved to have metals prices under control. But they have a serious problem and it is bigger than the gold market.
The disconnect between virtually all paper asset prices and real-world fundamentals has never been greater.
The screen capture below pretty well sums it up:
The ponies at the Federal Reserve performed their one trick. They printed $4 trillion and handed it to Wall Street bankers. They galloped in to buy everything bankers needed to sell, including junk bonds, other corporate debt, and stocks.
Despite the rules against outright equity purchases, there can be little doubt the Fed’s largesse is behind the frenzied buying in the stock markets in recent weeks.
There may be rules, but nobody is watching as to whether or not they get broken. The Fed is not required to provide the details of its exploits to anyone. It never submits to an audit.
Nobody in Washington even wants to know exactly where the Fed’s trillions go anymore. The rest of us, however, can make a pretty good guess just by watching CNBC.
When the troubled assets the Fed is so feverishly buying right now go bad, we won’t hear about that either. The important thing, from Chairman Jerome Powell’s point of view, is that he answered the call from Wall Street elites who needed someplace to dump a whole lot of garbage fast.
Our dollars will buy less because trillions of them were printed to buy this waste. That’s how bankers’ losses are socialized and how the Federal government grows far faster than the rate of overt taxation year after year.
It’s the world’s biggest racket.
The trouble is that Americans can see what is happening. Congress deliberated on sending $1,200 to most, though certainly not all, citizens.
Meanwhile, Jerome Powell rushed 10 times that overall stimulus amount through for the banks, untroubled by the need for public debate.
Large and well-connected corporations, like Boeing, are getting a disproportionate share of the free money passed through Congress. That makes plenty of people angry. Many of us know how undeserving these corporate charity cases are.
Boeing remains under criminal investigation for lying about the safety of its newest airliner. People died when some of these jets crashed. This company plowed tens of billions into buying back huge quantities of shares, including boatloads of stock from the same company executives who devised and launched the share buyback program.
The airline manufacturer was wholly unprepared for the rainy day which is now upon us. Hundreds of thousands of honest businesses may fail in the economic collapse now underway. Boeing, however, will not be counted among the bankrupt.
It’s fundamentally unfair, and it is on full display.
Washington, Wall Street, and the Fed are replaying what they did during the 2008 Financial Crisis, only on a much larger scale. People remember those unpopular bailouts for the “too big to jail” banks.
Public anger and a collapse in confidence is a serious problem for the elites running this rigged game.
This brings us back to the cracks which are 5 Comments in the paper metals markets. Bullion banks could lose control over prices, and it wouldn’t take much given investors’ current level of unease.
The scheme to sell ever larger amounts of paper metal in order to cap prices is getting untenable. The number of investors smelling trouble and standing for delivery of physical bars is rising dramatically.
It’s worth pointing out here that a loss of control doesn’t have to mean paper prices going skyward. It could just as easily mean the prices of paper contracts start reflecting their intrinsic value, which is somewhere closer to zero. That’s what will happen if there are defaults on the exchanges.
Bankers, including Jerome Powell at the Fed, definitely do not want to see demand for physical bars overwhelm the paper exchanges. It’s just the sort of challenge central planners run into when they disconnect markets from reality.

From Forbes:
The unemployment rate and the COVID-19 case count continue to soar, but the stock market is faring a bit better. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 both surged by more than 12% in the week ending April 9. (The markets closed on April 10 for Good Friday). Stocks made a notable jump on Thursday as the Federal Reserve announced $2.3 trillion in loans to support the economy. The market gains led to a combined $51.3 billion boost for 10 of the world’s billionaires since the market closed a week ago, on April 2.
