We have extensively followed the collapse in rental prices since the beginning of the pandemic here on Zero Hedge (for examples, look here and here and here). In addition to prices collapsing, some tenants affected by the lockdowns have simply decided they no longer want to pay rent and are stiffing their landlords with little consequences.
There’s not doubt that many renters – including many businesses – don’t have the means they once did to pay their rents.
And though we knew the fall in prices was likely to get worse before it got better, the Wall Street Journal is taking it one step further and now asking the question of whether or not the rental price plunge could actually set off the next housing crisis.
Another question also remains: how bad will the eviction scene be when the protections against eviction put into place by federal and local government expire? It is estimated that such moratoriums may wear off by January 2021, or even sooner. At that point, renters will need to pay up for the months they’ve missed.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia released a study of unemployed workers last week that estimated outstanding rent debt could reach $7.2 billion before the end of 2020. Moody’s has estimated that it could reach an astounding $70 billion if there is no further stimulus.
Moody’s estimates that 12.8 million Americans would owe an average of $5,400 from missed rent payments.
Though the $70 billion pales in comparison to the $1.3 trillion that set off the subprime mortgage crisis, the 12.8 million Americans affected far surpasses the 3.8 million people who were foreclosed on during the housing crisis. At the same time, housing prices are actually rising as a wave of owners move from the city to the suburbs.
However, about 25% of renter households that have children are now on the hook for back rent. Women and people of color are disproportionately more likely to owe back rent while black and Latino Californians are twice as likely to face rent insecurity than white Californians, according to the U.S. Census.
The debt could be enough to stifle a recovery coming out of the pandemic, the WSJ notes. Mark Zandi, Moody’s chief economist, said: “These households will have to make some pretty massive financial choices and pull back on other spending to pay their rent. That’s a hit to the economy.”
During the beginning of the pandemic, many households made a shift to credit cards to try and stay afloat. The Philadelphia Federal Reserve noted that “credit payments to small and medium-size businesses connected to rental real estate increased by more than 70% in the spring”. Those numbers remain elevated, near 50% higher than 2019, still.
Kate Bulger, a financial counselor specializing in housing debt at the Money Management International counseling firm, said: “Even if now they are able to make their rent payment, that huge inflation to their credit-card debt has become a new threat to their budget and their ability to cover all their expenses.”
She says the number of clients she has worked with who have put rent on credit cards “has exploded”.
The only question is whether or not the economy is next to “explode”…

activistpost--2020-10-30--“Social Life to a Complete Standstill” — Belgium to Head Into Strict 6-week National Lockdown

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo has announced a national lockdown will go into place on Monday when the government will attempt to stamp out the social life of its citizens in hopes of cutting down on COVID-19 infections and deaths .
The lockdown – described as “ reinforced ” – will be in place for at least 6 weeks and will shut down “ non-essential ” businesses amongst other strict social measures .
“ We took the decision of a reinforced lockdown , ” De Croo said .
“ These are the last-chance measures.

” People living alone will be allowed to have two cuddle-contacts .

Teleworking will be mandatory for all professions who can pull it off .
Professions that require close contact such as hairdressing will be made illegal while funerals can take place with up to 15 people , without a ceremony afterward .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ this is going to bring our social life to a complete standstill .

The lockdown – described as “reinforced” – will be in place for at least 6 weeks and will shut down “non-essential” businesses amongst other strict social measures.
“We took the decision of a reinforced lockdown,” De Croo said. “These are the last-chance measures.”
At the moment, there is only one choice, and that is for all of us to support our healthcare sector as much as we can. We have to limit our physical contacts as much as possible.
The new measures will attempt to restrict anyone from receiving visitors at home, with the exception of a single “cuddle-contact.” People living alone will be allowed to have two cuddle-contacts. ( … that isn’t creepily dystopian by any means … )
Outdoor gatherings will be limited to 4 people while requiring face masks and social distancing.
Teleworking will be mandatory for all professions who can pull it off.
Professions that require close contact such as hairdressing will be made illegal while funerals can take place with up to 15 people, without a ceremony afterward.
Belgian Health Minister Frank Vandenbroucke said that “this is going to bring our social life to a complete standstill. That’s hard, that’s a lockdown.”
The country now has more patients in its hospitals with COVID-19 than at the peak of the first wave in early spring, reports Euro News. On Friday, 6,187 people were hospitalized with the virus.
Belgium’s lockdown follows similar actions from France and Germany to control their citizens in hopes to dampening the spread of COVID-19.
As we continually point out with our lockdown coverage, the idea of using lockdowns – at least as a primary method of virus control – is now being rejected as a first line of defense from COVID officials within the World Health Organization.
“You don’t want to use those as your primary, and I stress that, primary, means of containment. Because in the end living with the virus as a constant threat means maintaining the capacity to find people with the disease and isolating them,” UN Special Envoy on COVID David Nabarro has said.
Director of Field Operations and Technical Cooperation for the UN Human Rights Office, Georgette Gagnon, recently stated that her office has observed a slew of human rights abuses when it comes to lockdown enforcement.
“The U.N. Human Rights Office has observed a range of human rights violations in the context of the COVID-19 exceptional measures and states of emergency imposed by several states, and across several regions,” Gagnon said, citing specific examples from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. “A main concern on exceptional and emergency natural measures is what’s been described as a toxic lockdown culture in some countries.”
Anti-lockdown protests have been widespread throughout Europe, appearing in the UK, Belgium, Poland, Italy, France and Germany.
Now that lockdowns have gone to the extremes of government mandating how many “cuddle-contacts” its people can have, the only question that remains now is – how much more tyranny will its people take?

activistpost--2020-10-30--UK Police Chief: It’s a “Civic Duty” to Snitch on Neighbors Violating COVID Restrictions

A UK police chief has called it a “ civic duty ” to snitch on neighbors and businesses that violate COVID-19 restrictions while criticizing the culture that condemns such tattle tailing .
On Wednesday , Merseyside Chief Constable Andy Cooke condemned the ‘ sneering culture ’ against those who tip-off police when he told the Daily Mail that if Brits carry out their “ civic duty ” of snitching on those who refuse to follow the martial-law-esque social and economic restrictions imposed by government , they “ will save lives.
” “ People are doing a civic duty in contacting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cooke said .
“ The vast majority of people across the country are really concerned about this .
Any information that you can give us in relation to breaches will save lives , and that ’ s why people are doing it.
” Cooke ’ s words follow the decision of West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson to break up any Christmas celebration that violates government lockdown restrictions .
“ If we think there ’ s large groups of people gathering where they shouldn ’ t be , then police will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there ’ s flagrant breaking of the rules , then the police would have to enforce , ” Jamieson said .
After adding that “ it ’ s not the police ’ s job to stop people enjoying their Christmas , ” the Crime Commissioner stated that this would not stop the police from following orders .
Jamieson says he believes that public “ frustration ” with decisions to spoil Christmas celebrations could boil over into civil unrest .

For example , officers who are called to a large party in a private house or garden would give people a chance to leave but fines would be issued if they refused .
The organisers ‘ would be dealt with every time ’ , he said .
He said ‘ flagrant breaches ’ likely to attract fines included pubs serving past 10pm .

“If we think there’s large groups of people gathering where they shouldn’t be, then police will have to intervene. If, again, there’s flagrant breaking of the rules, then the police would have to enforce,” Jamieson said.
After adding that “it’s not the police’s job to stop people enjoying their Christmas,” the Crime Commissioner stated that this would not stop the police from following orders.
However, we are there to enforce the rules that the Government makes, and if the Government makes those rules then the Government has to explain that to the public.
Jamieson says he believes that public “frustration” with decisions to spoil Christmas celebrations could boil over into civil unrest.

Meanwhile, National Police Chiefs Council chairman Martin Hewitt says it’s expected there will be ‘quicker enforcement’ of flagrant rule breaches.

For example, officers who are called to a large party in a private house or garden would give people a chance to leave but fines would be issued if they refused. The organisers ‘would be dealt with every time’, he said. He said ‘flagrant breaches’ likely to attract fines included pubs serving past 10pm.

Despite the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control’s admission that the COVID-19 death rate in England lags far behind the recent spikes in new cases, top government scientists are pressuring ministers to impose even tighter restrictions on the public ahead of Christmas.
Social media reacted to the most recent snitching news:
Not going to grass on my naighbour for having me round for a few festive drinks am I. Be realistic.
If the police do find time to attend my address could you also action some of the incident that have been reported about real crime or is real crime not priority at the moment — Wazza (@wazza25) October 29, 2020
But yet when I ring police to report someone breaking in or stealing a car etc. They don’t have the resources??? So tell me again why should I grass on my neighbors….?? — Garry Gilbert (@Axelrose1993) October 29, 2020
This is going to backfire on the police. All the community relations work for years zapped in a breath. The trust has gone. — Andrew Hall (@redamberblack) October 29, 2020
And people wonder why the police are despised, this is one perfect example. Let’s see how he feels when he’s got to sleep with one eye open for fear his family are narked on by one of his own copper mates.
Filth — Changeling2525 (@Changeling2525) October 29, 2020
All the best Britts Enshrined the 2nd Amendment — Woodrow Wilson (@WoodrowPWilson) March 28, 2020
1984 — Patrick (@313patrick) March 28, 2020
It would be fantastic if the police addressed the crime sweeping through the country. How many police assigned to keep watch on illegal immigrants who could all rise up and kill us? No one knows who they are or their motive. We could have another episode like France. — Terry Aston 🏴 (@tesa1945) October 30, 2020
You can actually hear the middle fingers all over the country, snapping into place. — john farmer (@netjohn139) October 29, 2020

activistpost--2020-10-30--Google Whistleblower & Conservative Influencers File Lawsuit To Punch Google & Restore Free Speech

The unprecedented censorship we are facing is the biggest threat to democracy in our history .
Imagine waking up to find that , without any notice , you have been deplatformed and deleted off YouTube ; years of your work — poof — gone in an instant .
When someone violates someone ’ s right to speak , they violate your right to listen .
This type of digital assassination is enough to make you want to punch Google in the kisser .
Censorship In An Age Of Technofascism On October 26th , 15 YouTube content creators filed an emergency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawsuit , which is being led by Google Whistleblower Zach Vorhies and filed by Cris Armenta and Credence Sol of ARMENTA & SOL , is seeking a temporary restraining order to restore the Plaintiffs ’ accounts .
Vorhies was a software engineer for Google/YouTube for eight and a half years , and both Ms. Armenta and Ms. Sol have experience litigating against Google .
The suit alleges 17 claims for relief , and accuses Google of breaching the Terms of Service ( TOS ) and violating their First Amendment rights .
The courts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an Obama appointee and Berkeley undergrad , to the case .
Become an Activist Post Patron for $ 1 per month at Patreon .
The hearing of We The People vs Google has been set for Monday morning , November 2nd , at 9 AM PST , 11 AM CDT , and it ’ s open to the public to listen in , but recording it is a violation of federal law .
Plaintiffs invite the public to listen in .
“ YouTube ’ s massive de-platforming , which occurred on October 15th @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Presidential election , worked to the severe detriment of both conservative content creators and American voters who seek out their content , ” states the complaint .
“ YouTube took this draconian action so swiftly that the Plaintiffs… received no advance notice and were not able to download their own content.
” Plaintiffs include JustInformed Talk , SGT Report , X22 Report , SpaceShot 76 , RedPill78 , Edge of Wonder , Praying Medic , Amazing Polly , Woke Societies , Daniel Lee , Deception Byes , InTheMatrixxx , Destroying the Illusion , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mainstream media , such as compromised outlet Media Matters , which is backed by George Soros , basically put out red herrings in the form of articles painting anyone who speaks about QAnon as violent or conspiratorial .
For instance , Media Matters wrote that YouTube “ is regularly used by followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory as a platform to radicalize new members and widely share misinformation.
” These smear pieces then legitimize YouTube to then scrub people off , under the false flag of “ safety.
” The Plaintiffs allege that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ notice or without cause under the Terms of Service that YouTube itself drafted and imposed on the Plaintiffs .
YouTube , they affirm , also violated the First Amendment rights of the Plaintiffs , and the public they serve through their social commentary , news , and information channels .
“ My channel was deleted , much to my surprise , ” recalls influencer , Amazing Polly , who started her channel in March 2016 out of Canada .
She had 377,000 subscribers and more than 28 million views .
Google , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power in the world than any other , has not only endangered free speech but also ruined organic searches with their auto-suggestions ( a mind control tactic ) as well as the livelihood of many businesses .
They have also arguably compromised the integrity of the elections .
Dr. Robert Epstein , Senior-Research Psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology and former editor in chief of Psychology Today , discovered as early as 2012 through years of research that Google poses three main threats to humanity .
These are an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 200 platforms ; the power to determine what content over two billion people can or can not see ; and its systematic and invisible manipulation of information on a massive scale .
He identified at least nine different blacklists and wrote about it in a piece for US News and World Report titled “ The New Censorship.
” Now they are guilty of what is being dubbed The Purge , when they vaporized a la 1984 a handful of YouTube channels on October 15th .
These are some of the channels deleted as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back what we worked so hard for , ” says Plaintiff Thomas of TruReporting .
“ Years of sacrifice and effort to bring forth truth , all to be stripped from us because those who have done wrong , are afraid of the exposure of being found out , ” adds Thomas who had 216K subscribers and 24 million views .
He created his channel on January 1st , 2018 .
We Are The News Now It was back on October 9 , 2006 that Google purchased YouTube for $ 1.65 billion .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ important to “ understanding things happening around the world , ” according to a report by Brandwatch , that states that six out of 10 people prefer online video platforms to live TV .
Together , the Plaintiffs ’ news and social commentary channels reached more than 800 million views and more YouTube subscribers than many legacy news channels , such as C‐SPAN , The New York Times , and NBC News .
Interestingly , according to a recent study by the Pew Research Center , a nonpartisan think tank based in Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news from independent YouTube channels along the same metrics as legacy or traditional news sources .
They conclude that legacy and independent media are thriving side-by-side , and established news organizations no longer have full control over the news Americans watch .
Most YouTube news consumers view both legacy and independent news videos on the platform .
This is arguably why the Ministry of Truth and the Thought Police have cracked down on any channels that challenge the public narrative , wrongly positioning these voices as “ conspiracy theories ” in order to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a digital war , ” explains SGT Report , who has been growing his channel for the past decade .
He had 640K on one channel and 110k on a back-up channel .
Yet conveniently , Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act , passed in 1996 , gives big tech a “ special immunity ” from liability that nobody else gets , meaning social media sites can ’ t be sued .
YouTube and Google are expected to defend the case and claim that Section 230 provides them immunity for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Under the act , crafted by Sen. Ron Wyden ( D-OR ) and Rep. Chris Cox ( R-CA ) , an “ interactive computer service ” can ’ t be treated as the publisher or speaker of third-party content .
This protects websites from lawsuits if a user posts something illegal , although there are exceptions for pirated and prostitution-related material .
The Section 230 immunities were provided by Congress as a means to give internet providers an ability to remove content that was considered “ obscene , lewd , lascivious , filthy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ otherwise objectionable.
” With that said , the Ninth Circuit recently issued an opinion , retreating from the broad interpretation of the immunity that social media has used for years to defend lawsuits from its contract partners and users .
“ The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found persuasive the notion that the ‘ unbounded reading ’ of Section 230 previously employed by social media giants such as YouTube would allow a content provider to ‘ block content for anticompetitive purposes or merely at its malicious whim , ’ ” explains Armenta .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that YouTube is subject to the First Amendment , concluding that YouTube is a private party , the Complaint alleges that YouTube acted at the behest , and was encouraged by and coerced by Congress , Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi , and Representative Adam Schiff .
The Plaintiffs ’ attach to the complaint letters that Representative Schiff published on Congressional letterhead , urging that content be removed and replaced in regards to COVID-19 .
The Plaintiffs also reference the House ’ s recent action of passing House Resolution 1154 , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media .
In direct response to Representative Schiff ’ s published letter demanding censorship , YouTube Chief Executive Officer Susan Wojcicki responded by Tweet : “ Thanks for reaching out , we ’ re working every day to protect people from misinformation and help them find authoritative information.
” Let ’ s conclude that YouTube takes its directives on health from the World Health Organization ( or arguably China ) , and have said straight up that they do not acknowledge that natural remedies such as Vitamin C can help with the coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Court precedent , if a private party acts when it is encouraged or coerced by the government or its agents , then the state action theory applies and the First Amendment rights should be protected , particularly from viewpoint discrimination .
This lawsuit follows the filing of a massive antitrust action against Google by the Department of Justice and 11 states .
The “ state action ” theory was previously raised by Armenta & Sol , on behalf of an African‐American conservative commentator , Young Pharaoh , in July 2020 , also against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in that case filed a Motion to Dismiss and oral argument was held , Magistrate Judge Virginia DeMarchi has not yet issued a decision .
In order to file the emergency injunction , Google Whistleblower Zach Vorhies and a small team , including Facebook whistleblower Ryan Hartwig and myself , launched a crowdfunding campaign titled PUNCH GOOGLE , managing to raise $ 130K in less than nine days .
“ The outpouring of support for this lawsuit has been mind blowing , ” says Vorhies , who released 950 pages of documents that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , cancer cures , alternative medicine and even specific individuals from the conservative political sphere .
“ We have really tapped into the anger that the people have against YouTube for their brutal political oppression of conservative voices.
” An in-depth discussion about the legal strategy between him and Armenta can be viewed in the following video .
“ We have a great team of Patriots working to help , to get all of the digital soldiers who were terminated , reinstated , ” adds Polly .
“ I pray this lawsuit works @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just spoke our minds with the research we sought out .
Whether we win or lose in the end , we are … going to make history.
” As Polly states , this lawsuit against Google/YouTube has the potential to be history-making !
“ Yes , it is a David and Goliath battle but if any group of people can take on the giant it is the one that Vorhies has put together for this cause.
” While writing this article , I myself , who had just gotten out of a two-week @ @ @ @ @ @ @ YouTube .

Censorship In An Age Of Technofascism
On October 26th, 15 YouTube content creators filed an emergency injunction against Google-owned YouTube. The federal lawsuit, which is being led by Google Whistleblower Zach Vorhies and filed by Cris Armenta and Credence Sol of ARMENTA & SOL, is seeking a temporary restraining order to restore the Plaintiffs’ accounts. Vorhies was a software engineer for Google/YouTube for eight and a half years, and both Ms. Armenta and Ms. Sol have experience litigating against Google.
The suit alleges 17 claims for relief, and accuses Google of breaching the Terms of Service (TOS) and violating their First Amendment rights. The courts have now assigned Judge Beth Freeman, an Obama appointee and Berkeley undergrad, to the case.

The hearing of We The People vs Google has been set for Monday morning, November 2nd, at 9 AM PST, 11 AM CDT, and it’s open to the public to listen in, but recording it is a violation of federal law. Plaintiffs invite the public to listen in.
“YouTube’s massive de-platforming, which occurred on October 15th, just three weeks before the 2020 Presidential election, worked to the severe detriment of both conservative content creators and American voters who seek out their content,” states the complaint. “YouTube took this draconian action so swiftly that the Plaintiffs… received no advance notice and were not able to download their own content.”
Plaintiffs include JustInformed Talk, SGT Report, X22 Report, SpaceShot 76, RedPill78, Edge of Wonder, Praying Medic, Amazing Polly, Woke Societies, Daniel Lee, Deception Byes, InTheMatrixxx, Destroying the Illusion, Sarah Westall, and TruReporting.
The mainstream media, such as compromised outlet Media Matters, which is backed by George Soros, basically put out red herrings in the form of articles painting anyone who speaks about QAnon as violent or conspiratorial.
For instance, Media Matters wrote that YouTube “is regularly used by followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory as a platform to radicalize new members and widely share misinformation.”
These smear pieces then legitimize YouTube to then scrub people off,under the false flag of “safety.”
The Plaintiffs allege that YouTube removed their channels without giving them notice or without cause under the Terms of Service that YouTube itself drafted and imposed on the Plaintiffs. YouTube, they affirm, also violated the First Amendment rights of the Plaintiffs, and the public they serve through their social commentary, news, and information channels.
“My channel was deleted, much to my surprise,” recalls influencer, Amazing Polly, who started her channel in March 2016 out of Canada. She had 377,000 subscribers and more than 28 million views.
I found out about it when someone I don’t know made a post on Twitter saying something to the effect of ‘Oh no! YouTube deleted Amazing Polly, IPOT, SGT and more of my favorites!! I am so angry!’ When I tried to open my YouTube page, all that showed there was a notice that my channel was gone because, it said, I had committed severe and repeated violations! This is a lie and a smear against my character to which I object but there is no way for me to correct the record. YouTube’s condemnation, written in white letters across a big red bar, now replaces the years worth of work that my viewers used to see when they clicked on my channel name.
Google, a big tech company that arguably has more power in the world than any other, has not only endangered free speech but also ruined organic searches with their auto-suggestions (a mind control tactic) as well as the livelihood of many businesses. They have also arguably compromised the integrity of the elections.
Dr. Robert Epstein, Senior-Research Psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology and former editor in chief of Psychology Today, discovered as early as 2012 through years of research that Google poses three main threats to humanity. These are an obscene level of surveillance across more than 200 platforms; the power to determine what content over two billion people can or cannot see; and its systematic and invisible manipulation of information on a massive scale. He identified at least nine different blacklists and wrote about it in a piece for US News and World Report titled “The New Censorship.”
Now they are guilty of what is being dubbed The Purge, when they vaporized a la 1984 a handful of YouTube channels on October 15th.
These are some of the channels deleted as featured on AltCensored:
“I want back what we worked so hard for,” says Plaintiff Thomas of TruReporting. “Years of sacrifice and effort to bring forth truth, all to be stripped from us because those who have done wrong, are afraid of the exposure of being found out,” adds Thomas who had 216K subscribers and 24 million views. He created his channel on January 1st, 2018.
We Are The News Now
It was back on October 9, 2006 that Google purchased YouTube for $1.65 billion. Since then, YouTube has become very important to “understanding things happening around the world,” according to a report by Brandwatch, that states that six out of 10 people prefer online video platforms to live TV.
Together, the Plaintiffs’ news and social commentary channels reached more than 800 million views and more YouTube subscribers than many legacy news channels, such as C‐SPAN, The New York Times, and NBC News.
Interestingly, according to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan think tank based in Washington, D.C., many Americans get their news from independent YouTube channels along the same metrics as legacy or traditional news sources. They conclude that legacy and independent media are thriving side-by-side, and established news organizations no longer have full control over the news Americans watch. Most YouTube news consumers view both legacy and independent news videos on the platform.
This is arguably why the Ministry of Truth and the Thought Police have cracked down on any channels that challenge the public narrative, wrongly positioning these voices as “conspiracy theories” in order to discredit them.
“We are engaged in a digital war,” explains SGT Report, who has been growing his channel for the past decade. He had 640K on one channel and 110k on a back-up channel.
They are trying to destroy us economically and in whatever way possible, and all we are trying to do is support our constitution and bill of rights, and take back our country back via rule of law. We want justice for all.
Yet conveniently, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, passed in 1996, gives big tech a “special immunity” from liability that nobody else gets, meaning social media sites can’t be sued. YouTube and Google are expected to defend the case and claim that Section 230 provides them immunity for the actions they took against conservative commentators.
Under the act, crafted by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Rep. Chris Cox (R-CA), an “interactive computer service” can’t be treated as the publisher or speaker of third-party content. This protects websites from lawsuits if a user posts something illegal, although there are exceptions for pirated and prostitution-related material. The Section 230 immunities were provided by Congress as a means to give internet providers an ability to remove content that was considered “obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable.”
With that said, the Ninth Circuit recently issued an opinion, retreating from the broad interpretation of the immunity that social media has used for years to defend lawsuits from its contract partners and users.
“The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found persuasive the notion that the ‘unbounded reading’ of Section 230 previously employed by social media giants such as YouTube would allow a content provider to ‘block content for anticompetitive purposes or merely at its malicious whim,’” explains Armenta.
Although many courts have rejected the notion that YouTube is subject to the First Amendment, concluding that YouTube is a private party, the Complaint alleges that YouTube acted at the behest, and was encouraged by and coerced by Congress, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Representative Adam Schiff.
The Plaintiffs’ attach to the complaint letters that Representative Schiff published on Congressional letterhead, urging that content be removed and replaced in regards to COVID-19. The Plaintiffs also reference the House’s recent action of passing House Resolution 1154, which condemned certain content and specifically mentioned social media.
In direct response to Representative Schiff’s published letter demanding censorship, YouTube Chief Executive Officer Susan Wojcicki responded by Tweet: “Thanks for reaching out, we’re working every day to protect people from misinformation and help them find authoritative information.”
Let’s conclude that YouTube takes its directives on health from the World Health Organization (or arguably China), and have said straight up that they do not acknowledge that natural remedies such as Vitamin C can help with the coronavirus.
The Plaintiffs allege that under Supreme Court precedent, if a private party acts when it is encouraged or coerced by the government or its agents, then the state action theory applies and the First Amendment rights should be protected, particularly from viewpoint discrimination.
This lawsuit follows the filing of a massive antitrust action against Google by the Department of Justice and 11 states. The “state action” theory was previously raised by Armenta & Sol, on behalf of an African‐American conservative commentator, Young Pharaoh, in July 2020, also against Google and YouTube. Although the Defendants in that case filed a Motion to Dismiss and oral argument was held, Magistrate Judge Virginia DeMarchi has not yet issued a decision.
PUNCH GOOGLE
In order to file the emergency injunction, Google Whistleblower Zach Vorhies and a small team, including Facebook whistleblower Ryan Hartwig and myself, launched a crowdfunding campaign titled PUNCH GOOGLE, managing to raise $130K in less than nine days.
“The outpouring of support for this lawsuit has been mind blowing,” says Vorhies, who released 950 pages of documents that cover censorship of subjects including free energy, cancer cures, alternative medicine and even specific individuals from the conservative political sphere. “We have really tapped into the anger that the people have against YouTube for their brutal political oppression of conservative voices.”
An in-depth discussion about the legal strategy between him and Armenta can be viewed in the following video.
“We have a great team of Patriots working to help, to get all of the digital soldiers who were terminated, reinstated,” adds Polly. “I pray this lawsuit works, we did nothing wrong. We just spoke our minds with the research we sought out. Whether we win or lose in the end, we are … going to make history.”
As Polly states, this lawsuit against Google/YouTube has the potential to be history-making! “Yes, it is a David and Goliath battle but if any group of people can take on the giant it is the one that Vorhies has put together for this cause.”

An hour after posting a talk about the Rona Regime, mandatory vaccines and medical freedom alongside Del BigTree and Dr. Carrie Madje, YouTube digitally assassinated my own channel without so much as an email.

A slowing ebb and flow of international students, combined with a younger generation growing disinterested in paying city-price premiums, are both helping the demand side of the rental equation dry up.

We ’ ve been dominated by rulers that follow this path for our entire lifetime .
• Peace is the path – always do the moral and ethical thing in the moment with faith that it leads to the best outcomes .

I ’ m not even particularly religious , but that level of authenticity and wisdom is inspiring compared to the status quo .
The ruling class and their establishment cronies don ’ t understand Kanye ’ s appeal because they have no faith or ethical boundaries .
Nothing is out of bounds for them .

As evidence , former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said 500,000 dead Iraqi children was “ worth it ” to attempt regime change in Iraq .

As far as I can tell, there are two distinct philosophies that rulers act upon:
The ends justifies the means – willingness to act unethically to achieve an outcome that’s viewed as preferable. Like bombing for peace. We’ve been dominated by rulers that follow this path for our entire lifetime. Peace is the path – always do the moral and ethical thing in the moment with faith that it leads to the best outcomes. Like Kanye, I think the majority of humans at least try to live by this philosophy.
Kanye’s commitment to this leadership philosophy is bolstered by his faith that “serving God” (doing the morally right thing in every moment) will have preferable results with less suffering.
There was a powerful moment in Kanye’s recent Joe Rogan interview where he was asked what he would do as president if facing a military threat. Kanye instantly felt the gravity of life and death, paused in quiet reflection, and said a prayer asking God to give him the strength to ask the right questions to be able to make wise decisions.
No other modern politician displays that instinctive empathy for all sides before contemplating tough decisions. And note, he wasn’t praying for a solution or policy, he asked for the strength to ask the right questions. I’m not even particularly religious, but that level of authenticity and wisdom is inspiring compared to the status quo.
The ruling class and their establishment cronies don’t understand Kanye’s appeal because they have no faith or ethical boundaries. Nothing is out of bounds for them. They justify lying, cheating, stealing and killing to gain power to ram through their agenda. Even if they genuinely believe their “ends” are “just”, their path causes untold suffering.
As evidence, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said 500,000 dead Iraqi children was “worth it” to attempt regime change in Iraq. And Obama/Biden awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her failed sanctions that caused immense pain for no benefit.
Eventually, they lied everyone into a preemptive war in Iraq for regime change and millions more perished. And the country is still far worse off now seventeen years later.
We’re in an environment where the establishment media praises Trump for finally acting “Presidential” when he bombs Syria but chastises him for troop withdrawals.
Trump has some good instincts but he is the ultimate pragmatist. Pragmatists rarely hold strong principles and they are willing to behave unethically to achieve their ends. He is also a Populist, meaning he senses where the crowd is going and changes his position to stand in front of them.
For instance, Trump has gone from a vaccine skeptic to Vaccine Czar following the COVID-1984 scarefest.

Is it any wonder why many are tired of being ruled by people like this? In fact, Trump is President primarily because he appeared to be an outsider. Yet it’s become clear that he shares the same morally-compromised philosophy as the rest of them.

Tourists visiting Thailand will soon be tracked with a new “Smart Band” for COVID contact tracing, according to a recent report from The Pattaya News, a trusted news source in South East Asia.
The measure was recently approved by Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-O’Cha, and the development is being overseen by Thailand’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Society. The agency will be collaborating with multiple Thailand-based startup companies on the new device and its operation.
This month, foreign tourists were authorized to enter Thailand for the first time since the pandemic began under the Special Tourist Visa program. The incoming tourists will face intense contact tracing, which includes the smart device.
The Smart Band device will track the locations of tourists and measure the body’s temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. If the tourist has a body temperature above 37.5 degrees Celsius, nearby medial officials will be alerted about the tourist’s conditions and whereabouts.
The wristband can also help the tourists if they are in trouble or need medical care. It will also let them know where nearby quarantine sites are and give them directions to other locations, such as hospitals or the local police.
The device is still in development, but once it is complete, select tourists will be asked to participate in a trial run to test out the technology. The tourists will be traveling under a Special Tourists Visa (STV), and the program is expected to start sometime this month. The announcement about the device did not specify if there would be any costs to the tourists, or how long they would need to wear it.
The pandemic has heavily disrupted the country’s economy, of which tourism is a significant sector. The International Monetary Fund has predicted Thailand’s GDP to shrink by 6.7 percent in 2020, which is a revision from a previously estimated increase of 2.5%.

Human officers will still be sent out on calls , especially those that are most sensitive , but drones will start to take over many of the day-to-day interactions that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lt.

The drones will be equipped with HD cameras that stream video back to the department ’ s crime center , and the cameras are also capable of using thermal imaging to more easily spot suspects at night .
