The “fine print warnings” in mobile phone manuals (cell phones and cordless landlines) advise users to NOT hold them directly next to the body (see 1, 2, 3, 4). The same warnings exist in the “fine print” in manuals for all wireless devices. Many people still don’t know this. Even telecom ads promote cell phone use that they won’t guarantee is safe.
Last summer, a class action lawsuit was filed regarding several smartphone models because they exceed “safe” U.S. RadioFrequency (RF) Radiation levels. More phones have been cited as exceeding “safe levels” since then (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
The hard-won Berkeley cell phone “Right to Know” ordinance required cell phone retailers to warn customers about radiation. Seems reasonable, right? Unfortunately, a federal judge doesn’t think so.
From Environmental Health Trust:
A federal judge ruled in favor of the wireless industry to halt the city of Berkeley’s cell phone right to know law requiring retailers to warn customers about cellphone radiation. For five years The CTIA- the wireless industry’s powerful lobby group has argued that Berkeley law violates their First Amendment rights because it compels them to tell consumers to never carry or use a cell phone directly against the body or risk exposure to RF radiation that may exceed the federal safety guidelines. Instead of making this information readily available to consumers as current FCC regulations require, phone manufacturers deceptively hide this consumer safety warning in legal fine print deep within menus inside the phone
The decision By judge Chen, terms the Berkeley law “overwarning” noting that the FCC must balance competing objectives of ensuring public health and safety and promoting the development and growth of the telecommunications network and related services.
Berkeley’s ordinance, first proposed in 2010 and passed in 2015, requires retailers to inform consumers that cell phones emit radiation that can exceed radiation limits when phones are close to the body. Since the Ordinance went into effect in 2016, it has survived multiple court challenges by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), which claimed the Ordinance violates free-speech rights. In August, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court panel upheld the Ordinance by concluding that the public health issues at hand were “substantial” and that the “text of the Berkeley notice was literally correct.” The City of Berkeley has long been represented pro bono by Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig.
The Berkeley Cell Phone Right To Know Ordinance requires retailers post a notice with the following text.
The City of Berkeley requires that you be provided the following notice: To assure safety, the Federal Government requires that cell phones meet radiofrequency (RF) exposure guidelines. If you carry or use your phone in a pants or shirt pocket or tucked into a bra when the phone is ON and connected to a wireless network, you may exceed the federal guidelines for exposure to RF radiation. Refer to the instructions in your phone or user manual for information about how to use your phone safely.
In response to this ruling, Devra Davis, PhD, MPH, President of Environmental Health Trust (EHT), issued the following statement:
With this ruling denying the right to know about cell phone radiation, the court has tipped the scales in favor of expanding telecommunications over public health. Democracy rests on an informed public that freely consents to be governed. We cannot consent to what we do not know. The right to know is essential to all citizens. And the duty to warn about potential hazards is an obligation of any company. Wherever the right to know and the duty to warn are not followed democracy itself is endangered.
Environmental Health Trust maintains a database of worldwide protective policy that shows over twenty countries already inform consumers why and how to reduce cell phone radiation exposure to the brain. Belgium, France and French Polynesia have banned the sale of cell phones for children. The Phonegate Alerte Association has launched an educational campaign after they revealed the vast majority of cell phones tested in body contact positions have radiation measurements that far exceed allowable limits for radiation.
“Our lawsuit against the FCC is aimed directly at the heart of FCC’s deception,” stated Theodora Scarato, Executive Director of Environmental Health Trust. “The court based their decision against Berkeley on the December 2019 action by the FCC whereby the FCC refused to update their 1996 cell phone radiation limits. FCC violated numerous laws as we lay out in our joint brief. The American people should be outraged that they are being kept in the dark.”
“The FCC recently issued a public statement to the District Court that cell phones are safe, even if carried and used against the body while exceeding the FCC’s own federal safety exposure guidelines. However, the CTIA Wireless Association failed to mention to the Court that the FCC’s regulation requiring that phone manufacturers warn consumers to never carry and use a phone directly against the body – the legal justification for the 9th Circuit’s original ruling that Berkeley’s Cell Phone “Right to Know” ordinance was legal – remains unchanged.

Weekend demonstrations have flared up in Australia over the last month, as Aussies have vented their frustrations and attempted to take back control of their communities after a surge in virus cases prompted the government to re-implement some of the world’s most draconian social-distancing measures.
And if there is one thing that terrifies increasingly tyrannical governments, it’s a loss of control of the narrative, which is why the Australian government is getting a jump start on curbing any so-called “conspiracy theorists” daring to spread information that questions the fear-mongering being used to keep Aussie citizens under lock and key.
A new bill is expected to be debated by the Victorian government in the State Parliament this week. It gives local authorities the power to detain “conspiracy theorists” and people who refuse to self-isolate, reported Caldron Pool.
If passed, the COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) allows the government to detain anyone labeled as a “high risk” or likely to spread COVID-19 negligently.
A state government spokesman told The Age that the rule could be applied to “conspiracy theorists who refuse to self-isolate or severely drug-affected or mentally impaired people who do not have the capacity to quarantine.” Those arrested under the new rule will be housed in quarantine facilities.

Denver , CO — When your only tool is a hammer , everything — even innocent mothers and their babies — begins to look like nails .
When you add government incompetence into the mix , that hammer can become a violent and unforgiving storm that lays waste to everything in its path , innocent or not .
A Denver mother learned this the hard way recently when cops raided her home looking for a person who was already in jail .
Erika Pruiett said this week that she woke up on the morning of September 10 in utter horror @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surrounded by SWAT .
Pruiett immediately grabbed her phone and began livestreaming the cops .
“ I was afraid , being a woman of color , me going outside or moving wrong , I could get shot , ” Pruiett , who lived to tell her story said .
She ’ s right too .
Breonna Taylor was not so fortunate when officers with the LMPD raided her home looking for someone — who also happened to already be in jail — and was shot and killed .
During the raid , cops @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the windows of the home , shattering them as they knock down the door .
They began demanding the occupants of the home come outside .
When Pruiett saw the first round come through the window , she went into protective mode and ran to her baby to shield her from the SWAT team ’ s violence .
“ When I realized they were shooting the windows out I grabbed the baby , ” Pruiett said .
“ If this were to hit my 2-year-old , how non-lethal do you think this would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Pruiett and her roommates walked out of the apartment , not knowing what was going to happen .
The cops held the adults and Pruiett ’ s baby at gunpoint .
“ They are screaming at me , pointing guns at me and the baby ; I ’ m not moving until you put your guns down , ” she said .
After the raid was over , no arrests were made because the man police were looking for was already in custody — for allegedly participating in a protest that devolved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had already arrested Lloyd Porche at his place of work on charges of menacing and engaging in a riot at a Black Lives Matter protest on August 3 .
“ There ’ s a lot of ways they could have went about it that could never have endangered my child , ” she said .
“ My roommate Lloyd , I know he has been to protests , but I didn ’ t think that was illegal.
” Pruiett says the raid has left her life in shambles as she ’ s now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to her apartment .
Multiple windows were blown out , glass covered the floor , the front door was smashed in and the house was ransacked — for an allegation of a misdemeanor crime .
On a GoFundMe page started for Pruiett , it explains that on top of being evicted , she is now facing threats and harassment after being doxxed by the blue lives matter crowd .
Because of the use of excessive force and violence by the Denver Police Department , Erica and her baby are now facing eviction .

Erica live-streamed this act of police violence on social media , so now she and her roommates are also being doxxed and harassed by the “ blue lives matter ” crowd .
According to an update on the page , Pruiett and her roommates were served with an eviction notice on Wednesday and have been given three days to vacate the premises .

Denver, CO — When your only tool is a hammer, everything — even innocent mothers and their babies — begins to look like nails. When you add government incompetence into the mix, that hammer can become a violent and unforgiving storm that lays waste to everything in its path, innocent or not. A Denver mother learned this the hard way recently when cops raided her home looking for a person who was already in jail.
Erika Pruiett said this week that she woke up on the morning of September 10 in utter horror as her roommates noticed their home was surrounded by SWAT. Pruiett immediately grabbed her phone and began livestreaming the cops.
“I was afraid, being a woman of color, me going outside or moving wrong, I could get shot,” Pruiett, who lived to tell her story said. She’s right too. Breonna Taylor was not so fortunate when officers with the LMPD raided her home looking for someone — who also happened to already be in jail — and was shot and killed.
During the raid, cops start shooting “non-lethal” rounds through the windows of the home, shattering them as they knock down the door. They began demanding the occupants of the home come outside.
When Pruiett saw the first round come through the window, she went into protective mode and ran to her baby to shield her from the SWAT team’s violence.
Three adults and the baby were inside the residence that the Denver Police aimed assault rifles at from the tank parked on the lawn. They surrounded the house, dressed like they were ready to go to war, carrying high powered rifles and battering rams. They broke out several windows, bashing them in with clubs and despite their claims to the contrary, they fired “non-lethal” rounds (aka rubber bullets) into the home.
“When I realized they were shooting the windows out I grabbed the baby,” Pruiett said. “If this were to hit my 2-year-old, how non-lethal do you think this would be?”
Clearly shocked and frightened, Pruiett and her roommates walked out of the apartment, not knowing what was going to happen. The cops held the adults and Pruiett’s baby at gunpoint.
“They are screaming at me, pointing guns at me and the baby; I’m not moving until you put your guns down,” she said.
After the raid was over, no arrests were made because the man police were looking for was already in custody — for allegedly participating in a protest that devolved into a riot. Colorado Springs Police had already arrested Lloyd Porche at his place of work on charges of menacing and engaging in a riot at a Black Lives Matter protest on August 3.
“There’s a lot of ways they could have went about it that could never have endangered my child,” she said. “My roommate Lloyd, I know he has been to protests, but I didn’t think that was illegal.”
Pruiett says the raid has left her life in shambles as she’s now being evicted for the damage cops did to her apartment. Multiple windows were blown out, glass covered the floor, the front door was smashed in and the house was ransacked — for an allegation of a misdemeanor crime.
On a GoFundMe page started for Pruiett, it explains that on top of being evicted, she is now facing threats and harassment after being doxxed by the blue lives matter crowd.
Because of the use of excessive force and violence by the Denver Police Department, Erica and her baby are now facing eviction. Moving house in the middle of a pandemic with a young child would be challenging enough, even if you weren’t already struggling to financially keep your head above water. Erica live-streamed this act of police violence on social media, so now she and her roommates are also being doxxed and harassed by the “blue lives matter” crowd.
According to an update on the page, Pruiett and her roommates were served with an eviction notice on Wednesday and have been given three days to vacate the premises.

Ocean Township , NJ — In the land of the free , even if you fully pay off your home loan to the bank , your property is never truly yours .
Through property tax , states from coast to coast continue to charge you for land that you own .
As the following case illustrates , even if you accidentally forget to pay a tiny portion of these taxes to the state , they can and will steal your home right out from under you .
Elderly retirees are no exception to the tyranny of taxation and state-sponsored theft @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despite suffering from Alzheimer ’ s , has maintained her own home for years in New Jersey and done so without incident .
Despite her illness , Goldenthal has remembered to pay the government the taxes they demand every year — most of them , anyway .

Case in point is the fact that Goldenthal ’ s unpaid bill of 6 cents , snowballed into a more than $ 300 bill .
If you hadn ’ t done the math yet , that is an increase of over 5,000 times the original amount owed .
Since Goldenthal suffers from Alzheimer ’ s , she didn ’ t understand when the city called her and told her that her home was now being put up for auction — over a nickel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ daughter , Lisa Suhay took to TikTok to let people know that her nearly 90-year-old mother with Alzheimer ’ s was about to be kicked out on the street over this unpaid 6 cent tax bill .

Ocean Township, NJ — In the land of the free, even if you fully pay off your home loan to the bank, your property is never truly yours. Through property tax, states from coast to coast continue to charge you for land that you own. As the following case illustrates, even if you accidentally forget to pay a tiny portion of these taxes to the state, they can and will steal your home right out from under you. Elderly retirees are no exception to the tyranny of taxation and state-sponsored theft.
Glen Kristi Goldenthal, 89, despite suffering from Alzheimer’s, has maintained her own home for years in New Jersey and done so without incident. Despite her illness, Goldenthal has remembered to pay the government the taxes they demand every year — most of them, anyway. In 2019, this innocent grandmother underpaid her bill by $0.06, a nickel and a penny, which created the perfect statist storm.
Because the state claims the authority to force you to pay them for property you own, if you are late paying them, they will add on fees and interest that send your bill skyrocketing. Case in point is the fact that Goldenthal’s unpaid bill of 6 cents, snowballed into a more than $300 bill. If you hadn’t done the math yet, that is an increase of over 5,000 times the original amount owed.
Since Goldenthal suffers from Alzheimer’s, she didn’t understand when the city called her and told her that her home was now being put up for auction — over a nickel and a penny.
Goldenthal’s daughter, Lisa Suhay took to TikTok to let people know that her nearly 90-year-old mother with Alzheimer’s was about to be kicked out on the street over this unpaid 6 cent tax bill. Naturally, that video went viral.

Eventually, she reached the mayor, Christopher Siciliano, whose office undoubtedly profits off the sale of homes whose owners cannot pay, or forget to pay their tax bills.
“I’m sorry, you’re selling my mother’s house today because she owes you six cents. He said ‘yeah, it’s amazing how these things snowball,’” Suhay said. “I was like – it’s six cents!”
The mayor called the ordeal embarrassing and silly.
“Naturally it’s really embarrassing the town would put someone’s home up for sale over six cents. It’s silly,” said Siciliano.
‘Silly’ doesn’t even begin to describe the act of stealing an 89-year-old woman’s home from her over money you force her to pay you to keep a home that she owns. Tyrannical, repressive, totalitarian, cruel, domineering, and criminal would have been much better adjectives to use in this instance.
Not wanting to admit that his office profits off of tax sales, Siciliano chocked up the fact that an 89-year-old woman was getting kicked out of her house, to a computer program.
“You can keep paying that quarterly payment, but the back payment triggers an amount that eventually can cause a tax sale,” said Siciliano. “This is all computer-generated, not something that a human can correct.”
After Suhay shed light on her mother’s case, the mayor was forced to respond by reaching out to state officials to create legislation to increase limits on how much is owed before a tax sale is triggered. Perhaps they may raise the unpaid tax bill to $0.07 before stealing an elderly woman’s home.

In This Red Dawn, Who Invaded Whom?

The gigantic mess of 2020 called lockdown began with an email thread called Red Dawn , based on the old movie about a Russian invasion of the US .
The idea , I suppose , was that the virus was the invader .
The public health lockdowners and fanatics on the list who urged the overthrow of American life as we knew it imagined themselves to be the saviors .
What actually happened was a different kind of invasion .
It was the saviors who invaded our schools , churches , sports , commercial lives , and even our homes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ random edicts by the day concerning what we could and could not do .
They enforced these edicts at the point of a gun , thus wrecking countless businesses , driving millions into depression , violating all human rights , and shattering the lives of countless millions not only in the US but all over the world .
All they needed to do to accomplish this was to tap into a premodern and unscientific ( and essentially childish ) penchant to believe that the right way to deal with a virus is to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if human beings didn ’ t evolve with viruses in a complicated dance for a million years .
Forget everything we ’ ve learned from science over the 20th century ; instead , we should behave like Prince Prospero in Edgar Allen Poe ’ s short story “ Masque of the Red Death ” ( yes , the use of the word masque here is word play ) .
To this end , left-liberalism gave up all its ideals : concern for the poor , high regard for civil liberties , opposition to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the arts , and even its attachment to public schools and personal privacy .
The people among the right and the libertarians who went along , through whatever kind of twisted thinking , found themselves trapped too : limited government , the Constitution , and human rights all had to bow to the great agenda of virus control .
The victims of this invasion – mainly the people not in a position to pretend to live life fully digitally at home – were so shocked at what was happening that they couldn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to the lockdowners .

Many people thought : Surely this must be a terrible and ghastly emergency .

The gigantic mess of 2020 called lockdown began with an email thread called Red Dawn, based on the old movie about a Russian invasion of the US. The idea, I suppose, was that the virus was the invader. The public health lockdowners and fanatics on the list who urged the overthrow of American life as we knew it imagined themselves to be the saviors.
(You can read many, but not all, of the emails here. They were enormously influential in generating the necessary panic to kick their sadistic social experiment into high gear.)
What actually happened was a different kind of invasion. It was the saviors who invaded our schools, churches, sports, commercial lives, and even our homes. They took total control, issuing random edicts by the day concerning what we could and could not do. They enforced these edicts at the point of a gun, thus wrecking countless businesses, driving millions into depression, violating all human rights, and shattering the lives of countless millions not only in the US but all over the world.
All they needed to do to accomplish this was to tap into a premodern and unscientific (and essentially childish) penchant to believe that the right way to deal with a virus is to run and hide from it, as if human beings didn’t evolve with viruses in a complicated dance for a million years. Forget everything we’ve learned from science over the 20th century; instead, we should behave like Prince Prospero in Edgar Allen Poe’s short story “Masque of the Red Death” (yes, the use of the word masque here is word play).
To this end, left-liberalism gave up all its ideals: concern for the poor, high regard for civil liberties, opposition to biases against The Other, its celebration of the arts, and even its attachment to public schools and personal privacy. The people among the right and the libertarians who went along, through whatever kind of twisted thinking, found themselves trapped too: limited government, the Constitution, and human rights all had to bow to the great agenda of virus control.
The victims of this invasion – mainly the people not in a position to pretend to live life fully digitally at home – were so shocked at what was happening that they couldn’t marshal the nerve to stand up to the lockdowners. Those who dared protest were jeered mercilessly by a pro-lockdown mainstream media machine.
Many people thought: Surely this must be a terrible and ghastly emergency. Otherwise they never would have done this. But as the months have rolled on, we are discovering an even more horrible truth: this is a normal virus that behaves like every widespread respiratory virus that science has encountered in the past, best dealt with not via state coercion but with medical therapeutics and immunological adaptation.
We’ll see in a few years what really happened to us through two pieces of data: excess deaths over a five-year period, which will not reveal much that is unusual (and this fact will confuse future generations), and the GDP data, which will reveal astonishing economic devastation never seen before in the modern world, not even in depression or war. The great suppression has wrecked not only whole sectors of industry and art but has fundamentally shaken public confidence in core expectations concerning law, liberty, and the protection of property against invasion.
We are nowhere near coming to terms with what has happened to our world. Attorney General William Barr, in a question and answer session at Hillsdale College, rightly decried the Covid lockdowns as a grotesque intervention in people’s lives.
“You know, putting a national lockdown, stay-at-home orders, is like house arrest. It’s — you know, other than slavery, which was a different kind of restraint, this is the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history.”
“The person in the white coat is not the ‘grand seer’ who can come up with a right decision for society. A free people makes its decision through its elected representative.”
Where was the ACLU? Where was the civil-liberties defending left? Why did the courts wait so long in most states finally to act? For that matter, how did this happen at all in a country that prides itself on the rule of law and freedom for the individual?
These are questions we will be asking for a long time. The sheer evil that has transpired over these six months is mind-boggling. And one of the major political parties has made it a campaign issue that we should have lockdowned even more!
“It would have been great if we had a national lockdown, so that people’s lives would be saved and our children would be going on with their lives today as they should be.” ~ House Minority Whip Jim Clyburn.
I just spent a bit of time watching the arguments in the Kentucky Supreme Court, during which one side says the governor cannot legally exercise dictatorial power on a whim, and the other side keeps saying “But there is a virus,” as if the presence of a pathogen is unprecedented and thereby justifies throwing out all human rights and freedoms.
It’s astonishing that we are, at this late date, debating fundamental issues of freedom itself, and that in the United States, of all places, we have major sectors of public opinion pushing for autocratic absolutism as a recommended theory of law.
This was indeed Red Dawn. The invader was not the virus but rather governments who imagined that with enough edicts and guns they could intimidate the virus into going away. They tried to scare the disease away with rhetoric and violence but in the end, governments have only one ability: the capacity to control people. The sooner we recognize the real enemy is government overreach, the sooner we can get on with making sure nothing like this ever happens again.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — (TRI) The Rutherford Institute has issued a precautionary “opt out” letter as a means by which families whose children are taking part in remote learning / virtual classes might assert their Fourth Amendment privacy rights and guard against intrusive government surveillance posed by remote learning technologies.
The Institute released its model “Parental Reservation of Rights – Remote Learning Surveillance” letter in the wake of a growing number of incidents in which students have been suspended and reported to police by school officials for having toy guns nearby while taking part in virtual schooling.
“Remote learning should not justify the expansion of draconian zero tolerance policies to encompass so-called ‘violations’ that take place in students’ homes and home environments. Nor should remote learning be used as a backdoor means of allowing government officials to conduct warrantless surveillance into students’ homes and home environments,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of Battlefield America: The War on the American People.
While COVID-19 has undoubtedly introduced significant challenges for the schools, the protocols adopted for navigating these circumstances demand a heightened degree of caution lest government officials heedlessly, needlessly and unlawfully violate key constitutional safeguards established to protect the citizenry against invasive and warrantless intrusion into the home.
In issuing the model Reservation of Rights letter for use by parents with children enrolled in virtual classes, Rutherford Institute attorneys warned government officials against leveraging the current public health situation to further erode the privacy of American citizens: “At a minimum, schools must not use virtual learning platforms to conduct unwarranted surveillance of students’ homes nor use observations made from within the home as a basis for alleging a crime has been or is being committed.”
The issue arose after Isaiah Elliott, a seventh grader at Grand Mountain School in Colorado Springs, Colo., was reported to police by school officials for playing with a toy gun in the privacy of his own home during a virtual class on the morning of August 27, 2020.
Not only was the 12 year old suspended for five days for “bringing” a “facsimile of a firearm to school,” but he was also traumatized when a police officer showed up at his home to interrogate him. School officials reported the incident to the El Paso County Sheriff’s office, and a deputy was dispatched to the school.
The deputy reviewed a video of the art class that was recorded without the knowledge or consent of students or their parents and saw the boys playing with the toy gun. A police officer was then dispatched to the Elliott home, where he confronted Isaiah, warning him that he could face criminal charges in the future.
Rutherford Institute attorneys have called on school officials to expunge Isaiah’s suspension. Institute attorneys also warned school officials against adopting draconian disciplinary measures that fly in the face of common sense and constitutional standards.
The Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit civil liberties organization, defends individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated and educates the public about threats to their freedoms.

The investigation appears to have begun soon after a federal grand jury indicted former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and four allies on racketeering charges involving the passage of a $1.3 billion bailout bill for two nuclear power plants, according to court filings.
An FBI affidavit said FirstEnergy and its affiliates funneled $60 million to a nonprofit that Householder controlled to facilitate the bill’s passage last year. The plants were owned at the time by a subsidiary of FirstEnergy.
The SEC’s public finance abuse unit is handling the regulatory investigation. The unit focuses on allegations of corruption involving publicly traded companies, municipal securities and public pension plans. The scope of the examination is unclear.

The entire country has been declared a ‘hot zone’ and the lockdown took effect by Friday afternoon, just before the start of Rosh Hashanah, the two-day festive celebration marking the Jewish New Year.

Israelis protest against virus lockdown in Tel Avivhttps://t.co/CsIqNzxhME pic.twitter.com/N7XF2CWwPM — Yeni Şafak English (@yenisafakEN) September 18, 2020
The mainstay of the protests began Thursday night:
Hundreds of Israelis protested in Tel Aviv late Thursday against a second nationwide lockdown to combat Israel’s surging coronavirus outbreak. “The economy is in free-fall, people are losing their jobs, they’re depressed,” said Yael, one of between 300 and 400 demonstrators at Habima Square.
And a recently laid off protester told The Times of Israel:
“And all this for what? For nothing!”
Ironically, though schools and business have been shuttered for at least two weeks starting Friday the government has said demonstrations still remain legal, so it’s expected more will pop up especially as the lockdown takes an economic toll, fueling resentment at the entire population being forced into quarantine.
Restaurants especially have been hit hard during the prior pandemic lockdown:

Protest groups in downtown Tel Aviv decried that it was all a ploy of Prime Minister Netanyahu, designed to ensure his personal political survival by continuing to sell fear, especially as he’s still facing serious corruption charges.
“The shutdown is in order to turn us into submissive, suppressed sheep,” one protester told Russia’s RT. She argued that ultimately the new measures are “to try to break us down.”
