activistpost--2020-01-24--Man Who Pushed SARS Dud Now Pushing New Chinese Virus

First , a few updates .
Things are moving fast .
The Chinese government has locked down Wuhan , a city of 11 million people , owing to the “ threat of the coronavirus.
” There are also travel restrictions in several other Chinese cities .
What does all this prove ?
It proves the Chinese government wants to install tighter controls .
It doesn ’ t lead to the conclusion that a coronavirus is making people sick or killing them .
During the so-called Zika Virus crisis of 2016 , women in several countries were told not to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brain damage in their babies .
That was a form of lockdown , too .
If it were instituted for good reason , we would now be seeing massive numbers of babies all over the world born with microcephaly ( smaller heads and brain damage ) , as the virus spreads .
We aren ’ t seeing that .
I covered the Zika story extensively , and proved it was a scientific fraud .
A dud .
The measures government authorities enact do not constitute proof of a harmful virus .
Otherwise , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day long simply by issuing orders .
We are now seeing photos of “ people lying in the street ” in Wuhan , and perhaps other Chinese cities , so-called victims of the coronavirus .
What does this prove ?
So far , I ’ ve seen pictures of four or five people lying in the street or on a hospital floor .
In a city of 11 million people .
If this , all by itself , were proof that a new coronavirus is a killer , then Los Angeles and New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people left .
The text of a patent for a coronavirus is circulating wide and far on the Web .
What does this prove ?
Patents for many viruses are obtained all the time .
More specifically , these patents discuss ways of weakening viruses or extracting material from them for the purposes of developing vaccines .
I ’ ve read excerpts from two different coronavirus patents , one in the US and one in the UK .
They both refer to vaccine development .
They aren ’ t , as some people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cooking up a virus in a lab or weaponizing it .
Well , here is a comforting development .
The Chinese researcher , Zhong Nanshan , who “ discovered the SARS virus ” in 2003 , is now at the forefront of pronouncements about the “ new coronavirus ” that is shaking up China and other parts of the world .
His mere presence on the scene is a warning sign : take a grain of salt , try a pound .
Zhong Nanshan ’ s 2003 SARS “ pandemic ” was a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Organization ) advisory against traveling to “ infected ” Toronto cost merchants in the city several billion dollars .
Meanwhile , a Canadian WHO biologist , Frank Plummer , told the press he was shocked by the fact that fewer and fewer SARS patients had the virus in their bodies .
Actually , “ fewer and fewer , ” he said , was approaching ZERO .
Hoax .
THE PURPORTED CAUSE OF THE DISEASE WASN ’ T THERE .
People had ordinary flu symptoms .
What do you do when this sort of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whole business was a mistake or a con or a hustle ?
Do you own up to the fact that , when people are said to be suffering from ordinary flu symptoms , and you ’ re calling it a new disease with a new cause , you ’ re wrong and you ’ re very , very , very sorry ?
Do you point out that people who don ’ t have the cause of a new disease in their bodies don ’ t have the new disease ?
Of course not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no one notices .
When you claim the grand death total from the SARS “ epidemic , ” worldwide , is 800 out of seven billion , and you can ’ t even prove those 800 died from the “ SARS virus , ” do you , the World Health Organization , admit your whole program of epidemic detection is a fraud ?
Do you pay Toronto several billion dollars for their troubles ?
Of course not .
You keep calling SARS an epidemic forever .
You write fake histories .
You do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reputation .
And when a new possible-maybe-could-be virus surfaces in China , now , you bring the same researcher who “ discovered SARS ” out of mothballs , and you put him front and center .
Here ’ s the capper .
Read carefully .
The World Health Organization claims that , every year , there are between three and five million cases of ordinary run-of-the-mill flu in the world , resulting in 290,000 to 650,000 deaths .
The symptoms are indistinguishable from SARS .
But for some reason , they don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
No , they choose SARS , for which the cause is absent—and they call THAT an epidemic .
It caused 800 deaths , versus 290,000-650,000 deaths .
Does this make any kind of sense ?
Actually , it does , if they want to : increase control over the population ; condition them to expect and pray for a ( watch-out TOXIC ) vaccine to save them ; shoot up pharmaceutical profits ; scare the pants off people ; induce them to willingly accept greater surveillance wherever they go ; step up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; hypnotize populations with the idea that they ’ re lifelong patients under the supervision of the medical cartel ; teach “ safety and security ” above freedom .
Just realize how right and good and true THE AUTHORITIES are , get down on your knees and thank your lucky stars they ’ re here protecting the health of everyone on the planet .
They ’ re the Church of Biological Mysticism , and they want you as a devoted member .

First, a few updates. Things are moving fast.
The Chinese government has locked down Wuhan, a city of 11 million people, owing to the “threat of the coronavirus.” There are also travel restrictions in several other Chinese cities. What does all this prove?
Answer: Nothing.
It proves the Chinese government wants to install tighter controls. It doesn’t lead to the conclusion that a coronavirus is making people sick or killing them.
During the so-called Zika Virus crisis of 2016, women in several countries were told not to get pregnant, because the virus might cause brain damage in their babies. That was a form of lockdown, too. If it were instituted for good reason, we would now be seeing massive numbers of babies all over the world born with microcephaly (smaller heads and brain damage), as the virus spreads. We aren’t seeing that. I covered the Zika story extensively, and proved it was a scientific fraud. A dud.
The measures government authorities enact do not constitute proof of a harmful virus. Otherwise, presidents and kings could write science all day long simply by issuing orders.
We are now seeing photos of “people lying in the street” in Wuhan, and perhaps other Chinese cities, so-called victims of the coronavirus. What does this prove?
Answer: Nothing.
So far, I’ve seen pictures of four or five people lying in the street or on a hospital floor. In a city of 11 million people. If this, all by itself, were proof that a new coronavirus is a killer, then Los Angeles and New York—with their homeless street populations—would have no people left.
The text of a patent for a coronavirus is circulating wide and far on the Web. What does this prove?
Answer: Nothing.
Patents for many viruses are obtained all the time. More specifically, these patents discuss ways of weakening viruses or extracting material from them for the purposes of developing vaccines. I’ve read excerpts from two different coronavirus patents, one in the US and one in the UK. They both refer to vaccine development. They aren’t, as some people assume, slam-dunk evidence that researchers are cooking up a virus in a lab or weaponizing it.
Well, here is a comforting development. The Chinese researcher, Zhong Nanshan, who “discovered the SARS virus” in 2003, is now at the forefront of pronouncements about the “new coronavirus” that is shaking up China and other parts of the world.
His mere presence on the scene is a warning sign: take a grain of salt, try a pound.
Zhong Nanshan’s 2003 SARS “pandemic” was a dud. A WHO (World Health Organization) advisory against traveling to “infected” Toronto cost merchants in the city several billion dollars. Meanwhile, a Canadian WHO biologist, Frank Plummer, told the press he was shocked by the fact that fewer and fewer SARS patients had the virus in their bodies. Actually, “fewer and fewer,” he said, was approaching ZERO. Hoax. THE PURPORTED CAUSE OF THE DISEASE WASN’T THERE. People had ordinary flu symptoms.
What do you do when this sort of embarrassment occurs? Do you confess the whole business was a mistake or a con or a hustle? Do you own up to the fact that, when people are said to be suffering from ordinary flu symptoms, and you’re calling it a new disease with a new cause, you’re wrong and you’re very, very, very sorry? Do you point out that people who don’t have the cause of a new disease in their bodies don’t have the new disease?
Of course not. You just move ahead and pray no one notices.
When you claim the grand death total from the SARS “epidemic,” worldwide, is 800 out of seven billion, and you can’t even prove those 800 died from the “SARS virus,” do you, the World Health Organization, admit your whole program of epidemic detection is a fraud? Do you pay Toronto several billion dollars for their troubles?
Of course not. You keep calling SARS an epidemic forever. You write fake histories. You do whatever is necessary to maintain your phony reputation.
And when a new possible-maybe-could-be virus surfaces in China, now, you bring the same researcher who “discovered SARS” out of mothballs, and you put him front and center.
Here’s the capper. Read carefully. The World Health Organization claims that, every year, there are between three and five million cases of ordinary run-of-the-mill flu in the world, resulting in 290,000 to 650,000 deaths. The symptoms are indistinguishable from SARS. But for some reason, they don’t declare ordinary flu an ongoing epidemic. No, they choose SARS, for which the cause is absent—and they call THAT an epidemic. It caused 800 deaths, versus 290,000-650,000 deaths.
Does this make any kind of sense? Actually, it does, if they want to: increase control over the population; condition them to expect and pray for a (watch-out TOXIC) vaccine to save them; shoot up pharmaceutical profits; scare the pants off people; induce them to willingly accept greater surveillance wherever they go; step up police and military presence; enact quarantines; hypnotize populations with the idea that they’re lifelong patients under the supervision of the medical cartel; teach “safety and security” above freedom.
Just realize how right and good and true THE AUTHORITIES are, get down on your knees and thank your lucky stars they’re here protecting the health of everyone on the planet. They’re the Church of Biological Mysticism, and they want you as a devoted member.
Amen.

London Police Implement Real-Time Facial Recognition Devices; U.S. Follows With First Fully Biometric Airport

London police are set to deploy real-time facial recognition technology throughout the city ; while the U.S. is also implementing the tech among other biometrics in the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta , making it the first in the U.S. to become fully biometric .
The Metropolitan Police announced that after testing facial recognition they have moved past the trial stage and are ready to permanently integrate the cameras into London .
According to a report by the BBC , the cameras will be placed in locations popular with shoppers and tourists , like Stratford ’ s Westfield shopping center and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will have its own “ watch list ” consisting of images of criminals wanted for serious and violent crimes .
Several human-rights groups have stated facial recognition is a worrying technology .
One group , British human-rights group Liberty , called the move a “ dangerous and sinister step.
” “ This is a dangerous , oppressive and completely unjustified move , ” Clare Collier , advocacy director at Liberty , said in a statement .
“ Facial-recognition technology gives the state unprecedented power to track and monitor any one of us , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” This comes amid calls from politicians and campaigners in the UK to stop the police from using live facial recognition for public surveillance , BBC reported .
Facial recognition technology has shown numerous issues over the years such as racial bias .
Other problems notable by Fight For The Future , which ran a campaign against implementing the technology at music venues , cited “ dangers to their fans in the form of police harassment including — misidentification , deportation , arrests for outstanding charges during an event and drug use during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and fans in a permanent government database , ” all very valid concerns .
Last year , Activist Post consistently reported numerous studies finding that the technology ’ s accuracy isn ’ t all it ’ s marketed to be .
Then Big Brother Watch , a watchdog observing UK Metropolitan Police trials , stated the technology misidentified members of the public as potential criminals , including a 14-year-old black child in a school uniform who was stopped and fingerprinted by police .
In eight trials in London between 2016 and 2018 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” that wrongly identified individuals as crime suspects when an individual passed through an area with a facial recognition camera .
The UK is now in the process of leaving the EU by the end of this month ; the trial showed 96 percent of scans used by police to track watch list suspects were inaccurate , that ’ s a big deal !
Despite this , the police have now sought to deploy this dangerous technology .
The EU recently discussed banning facial recognition technology as Activist Post reported .
Still , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the country will remain under its laws until at least the end of 2020 .
So if the EU decides to ban facial recognition technology the UK may have to follow suit reversing implementation throughout London .
This decision represents an enormous expansion of the surveillance state and a serious threat to civil liberties in the UK , ” Silkie Carlo , director of Big Brother Watch , told The Daily Mail .
“ This is a breath-taking assault on our rights and we will challenge it , including by urgently considering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against the Met and the Home Secretary .
This move instantly stains the new Government ’ s human rights record and we urge an immediate reconsideration.
” Meanwhile , in the U.S. , an entire airport in Atlanta is now using biometric technology , including facial-recognition cameras and other ID systems that plug into a data backbone installed by Customs and Border Protection ( CBP ) .
The CBP aims to screen passengers with little human intervention at airports across the country , Defense One reported .
“ The neat thing about what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that different players within the airport environment are plugging into the same [ Customs and Border Protection ] -created backbone—this Traveler Verification Service—to accomplish different identity verification functions throughout the airport , ” Adam Klein , the Trump-appointed chairman of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board , told Nextgov .
This is despite a Senator previously calling to roll back facial recognition technology used at airports , and the TSA themselves claiming to halt plans for screening Americans .
Last year , the Department of Homeland Security ’ s CBP branch claimed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to require all U.S. citizens to participate in its facial recognition entry/exit programs after backlash , as Activist Post reported .
This was after Activist Post reported that Sen. Ed Markey , D-Mass.
, called for an end to facial recognition in airports due to lack of oversight on the technology .
No matter where you look , Big Brother has been pushing the use of surveillance technology all over , not just the UK , from Amazon helping law enforcement with its Facial Rekogntion software , DHS wanting to use it for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to use the tech for security .
Even retail is pushing for the technology as an anti-theft mechanism to be introduced in a thousands of stores using biometric facial recognition software from FaceFirst to build a database of shoplifters , as Activist Post reported .
Some of the biggest airports in the country — estimated at 16 airports across the U.S. — are now scanning us as we board international flights .
While CBP expects to scale up the program to cover more than 97 percent of passengers flying outside of the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is all a part of President Donald Trump ’ s “ Biometric Exit ” agenda , which was originally signed into law under the Obama administration , BuzzFeed News reported .
Further , the policy director of U.S. CBP believes that facial recognition has already become essential .

In 2017 , Homeland Security clarified their position on domestic spying , stating that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ faces scanned leaving the country “ shouldn ’ t travel.
” “ The only way for an individual to ensure he or she is not subject to collection of biometric information when traveling internationally is to refrain from traveling , ” the DHS wrote in a document .

Other problems notable by Fight For The Future, which ran a campaign against implementing the technology at music venues, cited “dangers to their fans in the form of police harassment including — misidentification, deportation, arrests for outstanding charges during an event and drug use during an event, discrimination at their concerts, and fans in a permanent government database,” all very valid concerns.

Iraq ’ s parliament voted last month to expel the U.S. troops who have been occupying the country for nearly twenty years .
However , the United States government has refused to comply with the order and has threatened harsh sanctions if they are forced to leave .
The presence of the United States military is unwelcome in Iraq and the rest of the Middle East , but they have shown no signs of slowing down the so-called “ war on terror.

Foreign sources including Press TV estimated the crowds at over a million , while CNN suggested that hundreds of thousands were involved in the protests .
The Wall Street Journal gave the smallest estimation at “ tens of thousands.
” However , video and images from the protest show that actual numbers were far higher .
The protest came together after the powerful Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr called for a “ Million Man March ” in response to the ongoing occupation .
“ We will exhaust all peaceful , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and popular means to achieve our main goal , which is scheduling the departure of the occupation forces , ” a representative for Mr. Sadr said during the protest .
The streets were flooded with Iraqis from different age groups and demographics .
Children held up signs that said “ no , no to America ” and “ no , no to occupation ” as they walked with their families .
The crowds were filled with Iraqi flags and signs condemning Donald Trump and the U.S. military .

Iraq’s parliament voted last month to expel the U.S. troops who have been occupying the country for nearly twenty years. However, the United States government has refused to comply with the order and has threatened harsh sanctions if they are forced to leave.
The presence of the United States military is unwelcome in Iraq and the rest of the Middle East, but they have shown no signs of slowing down the so-called “war on terror.”
On Friday, massive crowds of protesters poured into the streets of Baghdad to protest against U.S. occupation and demanded that western troops to be sent home. Foreign sources including Press TV estimated the crowds at over a million, while CNN suggested that hundreds of thousands were involved in the protests. The Wall Street Journal gave the smallest estimation at “tens of thousands.” However, video and images from the protest show that actual numbers were far higher.
The protest came together after the powerful Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr called for a “Million Man March” in response to the ongoing occupation.
“We will exhaust all peaceful, political, economic, social, cultural and popular means to achieve our main goal, which is scheduling the departure of the occupation forces,” a representative for Mr. Sadr said during the protest.
The streets were flooded with Iraqis from different age groups and demographics. Children held up signs that said “no, no to America” and “no, no to occupation” as they walked with their families. The crowds were filled with Iraqi flags and signs condemning Donald Trump and the U.S. military.
Iraqi President Barham Salih tweeted an image of the protest with the caption,
Iraqis insist on a state with complete sovereignty that will not be breached, serving its people and expressing their independent national will, free from interference and dictates from abroad, a state that guarantees their security and rights in a free and dignified life, a state in security and peace with its neighbors.
العراقيون مصرون على دولة ذات سيادة كاملة غير منتهكة، خادمة لشعبها ومعبرة عن إرادتهم الوطنية المستقلة بعيدا عن التدخلات و الإملاءات من الخارج، دولة ضامنة لأمنهم وحقوقهم في الحياة الحرة الكريمة، دولة في أمن و سلام مع جيرانه. pic.twitter.com/C3xo7d2Ovg — Barham Salih (@BarhamSalih) January 24, 2020
This is just the largest and most recent protest in a series of demonstrations that have taken place on a regular basis since last year against U.S. military occupation and influence in Iraq.

Which specific body parts can women expose before being sex offenders?
After installing fiberglass insulation, Tilli Buchanan and her husband stripped off their shirts in the garage for safety reasons.
They didn’t want to track any of the debris into the house. While walking topless to the shower, Tilli’s stepchildren saw her bare chested.
Two years later, the children’s biological mother reported the incident to authorities.
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. . .”
Rather than argue that this specific incident was not sexual, Tilli opted to challenge the entire law.
She claimed that the law is unconstitutional under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. She and her husband were in the exact same state of undress, but she was charged with a crime, and he was not.
What has unfolded in the courts is a lengthy and ridiculous discussion about male and female body parts, and what constitutes lewdness.
Unfortunately for Tilli, the judge ruled against her, and she could face prison time, plus ten years on the sex offender registry.

Missouri bill proposes imprisonment for librarians who don’t ban books
A Missouri bill would create “community oversight boards,” (i.e. censorship boards) to decide what books are appropriate for certain ages.

And according to the bill, sexual content includes even mere mentions of nudity.
Bear in mind– we’re not just talking about the Game of Thrones books, which are pretty clearly intended for adult audiences.

activistpost--2020-01-25--Secession in Virginia Would Defuse the State’s Conflict over Guns

Earlier this month , West Virginia state senator Charles Trump introduced a senate resolution requesting that the citizens of Frederick County consider joining West Virginia .
That is , the West Virginia Senate invited the county to secede from Virginia and join West Virginia .
The Senate later adopted the resolution .
Resolutions like these don ’ t change any laws , but the Senate vote was in part a response to the dissatisfaction voiced by some Virginians over the legislative agenda of the new government in Richmond .
As Tho Bishop noted on Monday here at Mises.org , many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of other counties outside Democrat-controlled areas of the state ’ s east and northeast , are concerned about mounting efforts by the state government to impose new gun ownership restrictions—among other new regulations—on Virginia residents .
If opponents of the current ideological winds blowing in Virginia find themselves in a permanent minority , it may very well be that the only method of defending the minority position is by leaving the state .
But “ exit ” can theoretically be obtained in more than one way .
It can be done on an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a single person relocates .
Or it can be done through jurisdictional secession .
In the case of Virginia , there would be nothing novel about some parts of the state breaking off from the Richmond-controlled government .
The same thing happened during and after the American Civil War .
At the time , the mountain South was less inclined to support slavery—and more inclined to be Unionist—than plantation areas .
This was true for mountain areas of Virginia as well .
Northern politicians took advantage of this split and promised independence — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ western counties of Virginia—if they would break away from the Virginia government controlled by wealthy planters .
Although the process by which this happened was legally sketchy , the US Supreme Court nonetheless put its stamp of approval on West Virginia ’ s secession in 1871 .
There are practical obstacles to secession , to be sure .
Businesses would be subject to different regulations , and the criminal code would be slightly different for county residents as the county switched to a new state .
State budgets would have to be changed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law , of course , would remain unchanged in all areas , and matters of global diplomacy would be virtually unaffected .
Congress ’ s involvement need not extend much beyond the apportioning of members of Congress once the next decennial census comes along .
Unfortunately , status quo bias would cause many to emotionally reject any change .
The way things have “ always ” been done will be trotted out as justification for keeping things the way they are , essentially forever .
But is there a moral argument against secession @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ideas of self-determination and human rights seriously .
If minority groups find themselves perennially in the minority , what recourse do they have if boundaries are also permanently fixed ?
Some might suggest these people can move across state lines .
But since state lines could be hundreds of miles away in a large state like Virginia , a forced diaspora would likely require minority populations to disband their communities .
Some suggests members of the minority ought to trust the court system to protect their rights .
But American history is littered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ courts either refuse to take action , or explicitly side with governments against the rights of citizens .
Even if court decisions go the minority ’ s way in the short term , there ’ s no fighting the majority in the long term .
After all , judges are not immune from the currents of ideological change as imposed by majority groups — and the law schools they control .
Thus , as economist and social theorist Ludwig von Mises noted in his 1927 book Liberalism : Writing in the decades following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boundaries were being redrawn along ethnic lines — Mises was acutely aware of the problems that presented minority communities who found themselves in larger jurisdictions controlled by groups who differed in their backgrounds and ideologies .
When it came to protecting their rights , minority groups could not simply place their trust in the next election , or in the hands of government judges , and hope for the best .
Often , the most peaceful and reliable strategy was to redraw borders so that minority communities might ally with other sympathetic groups @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over time , populations and ideologies change in various times and places .
People migrate and culture changes .
Majorities can be turned into minorities , and vice versa .
This , Mises recognized , nonetheless does not render the legal and property rights of the minority groups null and void .
Communities are still entitled to the right of self-determination , even when in the minority .
Strategies must therefore be adopted to protect these minority groups .
One of the most practical strategies , Mises understood , was changing borders of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the populations within those borders .
As Mises noted , to force members of conflicting groups to live side by side within a single jurisdiction is problematic to say the least .
It only encourages each side to become ever more fanatical in its drive to gain control of the machinery of government so as to oppress the other side .
This is why Mises presented his plan as a means of avoiding violence : increasingly intense competition over centralized institutions of political power tends to lead to violence in the long term @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secession .
Conversely , the potential for violence is minimized by minimizing the state ’ s power .
In the presence of a mostly laissez-faire government , neither side has much reason to worry about who controls the state .
But the stakes climb ever higher as the state gains more power over peoples ’ lives .
But “ minimizing state power ” certainly isn ’ t what is going on in Virginia right now .
If anything , the state is moving very much in the opposite direction .
In a prudent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the state dominated by the now out-of-power groups would be permitted to join themselves to regimes more in line with their cultures and ideological views .
But we do not live in a prudent and flexible political system .
We live in a system where the dictates of “ democracy ” are such that whichever group finds itself in the minority must submit to the elected ruling regime .
“ Or else.

If opponents of the current ideological winds blowing in Virginia find themselves in a permanent minority, it may very well be that the only method of defending the minority position is by leaving the state. But “exit” can theoretically be obtained in more than one way. It can be done on an individual basis, of course, where a single person relocates. Or it can be done through jurisdictional secession.
In the case of Virginia, there would be nothing novel about some parts of the state breaking off from the Richmond-controlled government. The same thing happened during and after the American Civil War. At the time, the mountain South was less inclined to support slavery—and more inclined to be Unionist—than plantation areas. This was true for mountain areas of Virginia as well.
Northern politicians took advantage of this split and promised independence — and thus greater self determination to the western counties of Virginia—if they would break away from the Virginia government controlled by wealthy planters. Although the process by which this happened was legally sketchy, the US Supreme Court nonetheless put its stamp of approval on West Virginia’s secession in 1871.
Some Practical Considerations
There are practical obstacles to secession, to be sure. Businesses would be subject to different regulations, and the criminal code would be slightly different for county residents as the county switched to a new state. State budgets would have to be changed to reflect the new borders.
Federal law, of course, would remain unchanged in all areas, and matters of global diplomacy would be virtually unaffected. Congress’s involvement need not extend much beyond the apportioning of members of Congress once the next decennial census comes along.
Unfortunately, status quo bias would cause many to emotionally reject any change. The way things have “always” been done will be trotted out as justification for keeping things the way they are, essentially forever.
Secession: A Moral Imperative
But is there a moral argument against secession from Virginia? Not if we take ideas of self-determination and human rights seriously.
If minority groups find themselves perennially in the minority, what recourse do they have if boundaries are also permanently fixed? Some might suggest these people can move across state lines. But since state lines could be hundreds of miles away in a large state like Virginia, a forced diaspora would likely require minority populations to disband their communities. Some suggests members of the minority ought to trust the court system to protect their rights. But American history is littered with Supreme Court decision in which the courts either refuse to take action, or explicitly side with governments against the rights of citizens.
Even if court decisions go the minority’s way in the short term, there’s no fighting the majority in the long term. After all, judges are not immune from the currents of ideological change as imposed by majority groups — and the law schools they control. Thus, as economist and social theorist Ludwig von Mises noted in his 1927 book Liberalism:
[W]hen [a member of the minority] appears before a magistrate or any administrative official as a party to a suit or petition, he stands before men whose political thought is foreign to him because it developed under different ideological influences. … At every turn the member of a national minority is made to feel that he lives among strangers and that he is, even if the letter of the law denies it, a second-class citizen.
Writing in the decades following the First World War — when national boundaries were being redrawn along ethnic lines — Mises was acutely aware of the problems that presented minority communities who found themselves in larger jurisdictions controlled by groups who differed in their backgrounds and ideologies.
When it came to protecting their rights, minority groups could not simply place their trust in the next election, or in the hands of government judges, and hope for the best. Often, the most peaceful and reliable strategy was to redraw borders so that minority communities might ally with other sympathetic groups. Mises continues:
The right of self-determination in regard to the question of membership in a state thus means: whenever the inhabitants of a particular territory, whether it be a single village, a whole district, or a series of adjacent districts, make it known, by a freely conducted plebiscite, that they no longer wish to remain united to the state to which they belong at the time, but wish either to form an independent state or to attach themselves to some other state, their wishes are to be respected and complied with. This is the only feasible and effective way of preventing revolutions and civil and international wars.
Mises recognized that over time, populations and ideologies change in various times and places. People migrate and culture changes. Majorities can be turned into minorities, and vice versa. This, Mises recognized, nonetheless does not render the legal and property rights of the minority groups null and void. Communities are still entitled to the right of self-determination, even when in the minority. Strategies must therefore be adopted to protect these minority groups. One of the most practical strategies, Mises understood, was changing borders of political jurisdictions to fit the realities of the populations within those borders.
As Mises noted, to force members of conflicting groups to live side by side within a single jurisdiction is problematic to say the least. It only encourages each side to become ever more fanatical in its drive to gain control of the machinery of government so as to oppress the other side. This is why Mises presented his plan as a means of avoiding violence: increasingly intense competition over centralized institutions of political power tends to lead to violence in the long term. The answer lies in decentralization and secession. Conversely, the potential for violence is minimized by minimizing the state’s power. In the presence of a mostly laissez-faire government, neither side has much reason to worry about who controls the state. But the stakes climb ever higher as the state gains more power over peoples’ lives.
But “minimizing state power” certainly isn’t what is going on in Virginia right now. If anything, the state is moving very much in the opposite direction. In a prudent and flexible political system, those parts of the state dominated by the now out-of-power groups would be permitted to join themselves to regimes more in line with their cultures and ideological views. But we do not live in a prudent and flexible political system. We live in a system where the dictates of “democracy” are such that whichever group finds itself in the minority must submit to the elected ruling regime. “Or else.” No other option is permitted. This is a road that often leads to violence, either by private parties, or by the regime against the people.

activistpost--2020-01-25--This Nigerian Human Rights Lawyer Wins Second Order of Restraint Against Government

Lawyer Gloria M. Ballason was granted an interim court order by Kaduna State High Court in Kaduna , Nigeria , on January 15 , 2020 , that prohibits the government from arresting her .
This order came after Ballason filed a motion for her “ fundamental rights , ” — including freedom of expression and human dignity — under Order IV , Rule 4 of the constitution .
This interim order is the second of its kind issued against her arrest .
Ballason is a principal partner at Mive Legals in Kaduna State with a focus on human rights .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ executive officer of the “ House of Justice , ” a human rights call-in radio program , who has written articles critical of the Kaduna State government .
Ballason has experienced ongoing intimidation and harassment by Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai and his administration , amid a growing crackdown on freedom of expression and dissent in Nigeria .
Between November and December 2019 , officers from the Nigerian police force in Kaduna State visited her office in Barnawa , Kaduna .
According to her detailed Facebook post , she was harassed , threatened @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when the visits began : Since 28 November , 2019 , the police have laid siege on the office of House of Justice , in Barnawa , Kaduna , reportedly in search of me .
House of Justice is a public interest advocacy and legal service centre in Kaduna , Nigeria .
I lead its advocacy work .
Over the past decade , I have established and practised Law from Kaduna .
On that day , three hefty men , claiming to be from the State Criminal Investigation Department ( SCID ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 28 November , 2019 and requested for me .
My colleagues in chambers informed them that I had gone out .
Ballason wrote that according to the Kaduna State police command , they made visits to her office after they received a petition by Engr E.K Gaiya , a private citizen , that listed Ballason as a “ notorious criminal.
” Gaiya originally sent the petition to the office of the executive governor of Kaduna State on October 20 , 2019 , cataloging 40 years of “ criminal attacks on life and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into 20 listed persons and organizations , including “ Barr .
Gloria , ” listed Number 13 .
Ballason denies any knowledge of Gaiya .
Her lawyers obtained a copy of the petition that was also reviewed with Global Voices for verification .
The petition was written to the governor ’ s office and copied to the [ All Progressives Congress Party ] APC ruling chairman and police .
The petition was not addressed to the police .
How do they act on an allegation they were merely copied into ?
The petition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 40 years old and I am in my mid-30s .
How spurious and laughable does it get .
Yet I , my colleagues and family was subjected to incalculable psychological torture .
I couldn ’ t work .
I had to leave the state until I obtained the court interim order .
When Ballason ’ s lawyer made further inquiries into the petition and the reason for the visits , the police then delivered Ballason an interrogation request letter citing “ criminal breach of trust and cheating ” on December 18 .
Ballason @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that this letter did not clarify who made the complaints or establish any facts .
A photo of the letter obtained by Ballason ’ s lawyers was viewed by Global Voices for verification .
Fearing for her safety and security , the ordeal prompted Ballason to file a motion ex parte against the inspector general of police , commissioner of police and government of Kaduna State , on January 7 , 2020 .
On January 15 , 2020 , Kaduna State High Court granted an interim order preventing Governor El-Rufai from arresting her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ threatened with arrest and persecution by Governor El-Rufai , for a November 28 article titled , “ Kaduna : When government kills , ” that Ballason wrote for her weekly law column in Blueprint Newspaper ( which has since been removed ) .
“ Villages live in misery .
Communities have become lands of despair as they are subdued by treachery and brutal violence , ” wrote Ballason of the deteriorating security situation in Kaduna , as republished in Signal .
Ballason sued the governor for infringing on her fundamental human rights to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Kaduna State High Court fined Governor El-Rufai 50,000 nairas ( $ 138 United States dollars ) for breaching the lawyer ’ s “ right to life , ” according to a Daily Post report in May 2017 .
The governor was also restrained from arresting , prosecuting and jailing the young lawyer for expressing her published opinion .
Since then , Ballason has represented several prominent clients whose rights were also violated by the governor — most notably media entrepreneur Audu Maikori..The Federal High Court in Abuja awarded Maikori 40 million nairas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for his unlawful arrest and detention between February and March 2017 , according to a Punch newspaper statement in October 2017 .
Many Nigerians speculate that Ballason ’ s most recent ordeal with law enforcement was triggered as a result of her position as lead counsel to Chidi Odinkalu , a prominent human rights activist , in ongoing suits against the government of Kaduna State .
Odinkalu accuses the Kaduna State government of “ multiple violations of his fundamental rights under the 1999 constitution , including free speech , due process , fair @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to The Guardian , Nigeria .
Journalist and author Ohimai Godwin Amaize linked Ballason ’ s harassment with her position as Chidi Odinkalu ’ s lead counsel : Edetaen Ojo , a digital rights and freedom of expression activist stated that “ the basic tenets of democracy and rule of law are now under attack in Nigeria : ” Jeff Nnaka voices similarities between Ballason ’ s case and other lawyers : Amnesty International in Nigeria raised concerns over the increasing harassment and intimidation by the Nigerian police toward Ballason and urged the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , protect and uphold human rights without discrimination : Pamela Ephraim is a journalist covering West Africa .

Gaiya originally sent the petition to the office of the executive governor of Kaduna State on October 20, 2019, cataloging 40 years of “criminal attacks on life and property,” and asked for investigations into 20 listed persons and organizations, including “Barr. Gloria,” listed Number 13.
Ballason denies any knowledge of Gaiya. Her lawyers obtained a copy of the petition that was also reviewed with Global Voices for verification.
Balllason told Global Voices via Whatsapp on January 20, 2020:
The petition was written to the governor’s office and copied to the [All Progressives Congress Party] APC ruling chairman and police. The petition was not addressed to the police. How do they act on an allegation they were merely copied into? The petition [cites complaints that I am] 40 years old and I am in my mid-30s. How spurious and laughable does it get. Yet I, my colleagues and family was subjected to incalculable psychological torture. I couldn’t work. I had to leave the state until I obtained the court interim order.
When Ballason’s lawyer made further inquiries into the petition and the reason for the visits, the police then delivered Ballason an interrogation request letter citing “criminal breach of trust and cheating” on December 18.
Ballason told Global Voices in the Whatsapp interview that this letter did not clarify who made the complaints or establish any facts. A photo of the letter obtained by Ballason’s lawyers was viewed by Global Voices for verification.
Fearing for her safety and security, the ordeal prompted Ballason to file a motion ex parte against the inspector general of police, commissioner of police and government of Kaduna State, on January 7, 2020.
On January 15, 2020, Kaduna State High Court granted an interim order preventing Governor El-Rufai from arresting her.
Ongoing harassment and intimidation
In 2016, Ballason was first threatened with arrest and persecution by Governor El-Rufai, for a November 28 article titled, “Kaduna: When government kills,” that Ballason wrote for her weekly law column in Blueprint Newspaper (which has since been removed).
“Villages live in misery. Communities have become lands of despair as they are subdued by treachery and brutal violence,” wrote Ballason of the deteriorating security situation in Kaduna, as republished in Signal.
Ballason sued the governor for infringing on her fundamental human rights to express her opinion and won the case. Kaduna State High Court fined Governor El-Rufai 50,000 nairas ($138 United States dollars) for breaching the lawyer’s “right to life,” according to a Daily Post report in May 2017. The governor was also restrained from arresting, prosecuting and jailing the young lawyer for expressing her published opinion.
Since then, Ballason has represented several prominent clients whose rights were also violated by the governor — most notably media entrepreneur Audu Maikori..The Federal High Court in Abuja awarded Maikori 40 million nairas ($110,650 USD) as compensation for his unlawful arrest and detention between February and March 2017, according to a Punch newspaper statement in October 2017.
Netizens lament lack of free speech
Many Nigerians speculate that Ballason’s most recent ordeal with law enforcement was triggered as a result of her position as lead counsel to Chidi Odinkalu, a prominent human rights activist, in ongoing suits against the government of Kaduna State.
Odinkalu accuses the Kaduna State government of “multiple violations of his fundamental rights under the 1999 constitution, including free speech, due process, fair hearing and human dignity,” according to The Guardian, Nigeria.
Journalist and author Ohimai Godwin Amaize linked Ballason’s harassment with her position as Chidi Odinkalu’s lead counsel:
The assault on #HumanRights in #Nigeria continues as @ChidiOdinkalu‘s lawyer Gloria Ballason accuses @PoliceNG of harassment. Gloria is lead counsel to Odinkalu in a suit against @elrufai and 4 others for alleged multiple violations of Odinkalu’s rights https://t.co/cyTgpujwXH — Ohimai Godwin Amaize (@MrFixNigeria) December 7, 2019
Edetaen Ojo, a digital rights and freedom of expression activist stated that “the basic tenets of democracy and rule of law are now under attack in Nigeria:”
The basic tenets of democracy and the rule of law are now under relentless attack in Nigeria and we are waking up to the rude realization that truly a leopard does not change its spots: “Chidi Odinkalu’s lawyer Gloria Ballason accuses police of harassment” https://t.co/ZaP5BbnwDj — Edetaen Ojo (@EdetOjo) December 8, 2019
Jeff Nnaka voices similarities between Ballason’s case and other lawyers:
These ugly scenarios’ve become a NORM w/ this apc regime!
Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor @MaziNnamdiKanu #IPOB Lawyer was attacked by Anambra police command & now Barrister Gloria Ballason is on the run from Kaduna police that surposed to be protecting her. WHAT A LAWLESSNESS COUNTRY https://t.co/ZBZ5ECOhvV — #WeAreAllBiafrans (@JeffNnaka) December 9, 2019
Amnesty International in Nigeria raised concerns over the increasing harassment and intimidation by the Nigerian police toward Ballason and urged the police command in Kaduna State to respect, protect and uphold human rights without discrimination:
Amnesty International is concerned that Nigeria Police is increasingly harassing and intimidating Gloria Ballason @GMabeiam – a lawyer based in #Kaduna. We urge Kaduna state command of the police to respect, protect and uphold human rights without discrimination. — Amnesty Int. Nigeria (@AmnestyNigeria) January 15, 2020

An increasing number of Americans are taking action against telecom companies wanting to install 4G and 5G small cell towers (see 1, 2) in their communities. Clusters of illnesses have been identified near cell towers.

Kudos to the Western Springs, IL Village Council for making a big enough stink to stop Crown Castle from installing one there.
Prolonged exposure to any source of cell phone and wireless WiFi radiation doesn’t only increase cancer risk. It can cause “Microwave Sickness” and “Electromagnetic Sensitivity.” American Academy of Pediatrics and other health experts warn that children are more vulnerable to exposure. Since 2004, the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) has opposed the use of their stations for cell phones and antennas due to health risks to members. Animals and nature are affected by exposure as well.
Telecom companies have still provided NO scientific evidence that 5G is safe. Requests for 5G moratoriums from doctors and scientists started in 2017. Another one was recently submitted to President Trump. People and animals have been getting sick where 5G has been installed and turned on (see 1, 2, 3, 4).

activistpost--2020-01-26--Did Bill Gates & World Economic Forum Predict Coronavirus Outbreak? An Inside Look May Shock You!

In this report we take an inside look at Event 201 , which took place in NYC on October 18 2019 .
Event 201 is a high-level pandemic exercise hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
This is extremely fascinating because this pandemic simulation exercise of coronavirus took place about 6 weeks before the first illness from the coronavirus was actually reported in Wuhan , China .
That is one hell of a coincidence if you believe in that sort of thing .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not only did the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation participate in and help set up the pandemic simulation of a coronavirus outbreak , but they just so happen to fund the group who owns the patent to the deadly coronavirus and are already working on a vaccine to solve the current crisis .
Again , an incredible coincidence… In this report you will see footage from inside the event from the members of the emergency epidemic board in this simulation consisting of representatives from major banks , the UN , the Bill and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , logistical powerhouses , the media as well as officials from China and America ’ s CDC just to name a few .
This simulation also includes news reports that were fabricated just for this exercise — please keep that in mind because they are eerily similar to reports we are currently seeing regarding this real-world coronavirus outbreak .
