Below is a summary of his reports from the center of the epidemic outbreak from January 24 to February 2.
January 24: Information should travel faster than the virus
After arriving in Wuhan around 10 pm, Chen urged citizens to contact him via WeChat and promised to report on the real situation in Wuhan. He anticipated that the national security police would go after him and made three public promises: 1. He would not spread rumors, would not create social panic and would not cover up the truth; 2. He would protect himself and would not reach out to patients who were in serious condition; 3. Until the outbreak is under control, he would not leave Wuhan even if he caught the virus. He stressed that the spread of SARS (17 years ago) and the Wuhan coronavirus was due to a cover-up of the virus outbreak and the Chinese people should not repeat the same mistake; information should travel faster than the virus.
January 25: A visit to the Wuhan Central hospital
Chen’s WeChat account was suspended for one month after he published his January 24 video. According to WeChat’s notification, he was accused of spreading rumors and other illegal content.
At 2 a.m., Chen visited the Wuhan Central hospital where he found a relatively uncrowded emergency ward of 30 patients. Before noon, Chen was forced to check out from his hostel as local authorities handed out the order that hostel operators should not accept non-local residents.
Chen also visited a number of friends in Wuhan, one of them made a DIY face mask:
Today I visited a few friends in Wuhan. They took me to Jinyintan hospital. Just managed to talk to the doctor and could not enter the hospital. I was impressed by courage and optimism of the Wuhanese.
January 26: A dead body at Wuhan No.11 Hospital
Chen interviewed a nurse from Wuhan No.11 Hospital who said that the situation was far better than before the lunar new year when the ward was flooded with thousands of patients. At that time, the government was not providing any assistance and medical workers were left without basic protective gear. Instead of going through official channels, the hospital was forced to make public appeals through social media. The nurse also denounced some government efforts to ‘fact-check’ social media saying:
They claimed that the video showing three dead bodies from the Wuhan Red Cross Hospital was fake. I told you, they were really corpses, though we could not verify if they died because of the coronavirus.
Chen expressed his worries about human-to-human transmission inside the hospital as all the patients shared the same ward. He noted that the hygiene outside the hospital was also pretty bad — used masks, gloves, and vomit were everywhere.
January 27: Social panic and a divided society
Chen expressed frustration about the lack of citizen initiative to help each other out during the crisis:
Everyone is divided. They keep complaining and arguing about government policy but can’t even volunteer to help receive and distribute the resources sent from outside of Wuhan.
Chen also mentioned how current affairs writer Wang Yajun was threatened by the Hubei authorities over his comments about the outbreak.
January 28: ‘Wuhan is like hell’
Chen helped deliver medical supplies and food to the Wuhan Union Hospital in the morning. He then visited the Huoshenshan hospital construction site, one of the two hospitals Beijing vowed to finish within 10 days.
At night, he interviewed a Wuhan citizen who criticized the local authorities for failing to alert local residents about the outbreak and their lack of public support for the quarantined city on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The young man compared Wuhan to hell: people could not take public transportation to the hospitals and no one answered the emergency line. Even if the patients managed to go to the hospitals, they were only given anti-inflammatories. The majority were not tested if they had been infected with the virus and were told to quarantine themselves back home.
Chen’s video went viral on Twitter and YouTube within two days.
January 29: Infected nurse broke down
Chen visited the Wuhan No.5 hospital and there were about a hundred people. A nurse broke down and screamed out in the hospital car park as she was infected at the hospital but could not get a bed in any hospital. Rumors spread online saying that the hospital had a number of medical workers infected but doctors were ordered not to talk to media.
January 30: Identified cases were not confirmed
Chen said his name and face were blocked on WeChat, and any distribution of his video could result in a WeChat ban. He said that taxi drivers had been aware of the virus outbreak since mid-December. According to sources from a Wuhan taxi driver chat room, there were 20,000 taxis in Wuhan and only 6,000 were in operation during the quarantine. Residents had to contact district administrators to arrange a taxi.
Chen said that the day before he had followed a patient to Tongji Hospital where patients were having treatment but there were not enough beds. According to Chen, his friend asked for a test but there were not enough coronavirus testers to check on his infection.
January 31: four confirmed infected in one single family
Chen attempted to visit a family which had four confirmed infected patients. Two were hospitalized and the 84-year-old mother passed away in the morning. The son was confirmed infected on January 23 but there were no beds available. Chen eventually could not pay the visit to this family as the residential district was locked down with guards standing in front of the gate.
February 1 & 2: Citizen reporter Fang Bin arrested
Chen posted several videos from other citizen sources on Twitter and YouTube.
The first one showed large crowds outside of a pharmacy attempting to buy a Chinese medicine called “shuanghuanglian.” On January 31, The Chinese Academy of Sciences released a report in The People Daily News claiming that the medicine could repress viral replication. While the medical experts admitted that there wasn’t any clinical evidence about the effectiveness of the medicine, panicked shoppers bought up all the medicine from the market.
The second one showed national security officers disguised as disease control officers visiting Wuhan citizen reporter Fang Bin late at night claiming that they suspected he was infected. On January 31, Fang Bin uploaded a video taken from Wuhan No.5 hospital which showed how corpses from the hospital were sent to a funeral house and he believed that was the real reason for his arrest.
Fang was released the following day and talked about the incident via Chen’s YouTube channel. The police had accused him of creating social panic.
Both Fang and Chen were trying to dig into the stories about the death toll of the Wuhan coronavirus. Chen visited the Hanhou Funeral Home on January 29 and found out that within a period of 1.5 hours four vehicles had entered the funeral home, a designated cremation center for bodies infected with the coronavirus. On January 31, Fang Bin found out that a vehicle parked at the entrance of the No.5 hospital was loaded with 8 bodies.
During Fang’s arrest, law enforcement officers claimed that they needed to quarantine Fang as he had been in contact with the infected. On February 2, a new administrative regulation was released stating that the disease control officers were authorized to take away any individual who was in contact with the infected. Chen pointed out that the new regulation could be used as an excuse to arrest citizen reporters, including himself. He urged others to speak out for themselves.

activistpost--2020-02-06--No One Knows Why Epstein’s Secret Bank Account Moved Millions Since His Death

A judge in the Virgin Islands has recently questioned the lawyers of Jeffrey Epstein ’ s estate , after an old bank account registered to Epstein received millions of dollars from the estate in the months since his death .
The account was opened by Epstein in the Virgin Islands in 2014 and was reportedly intended to be used for an international banking firm that he planned to develop .
On his application , Epstein said that he wanted to pursue the “ dynamic discipline of international banking.
” Meanwhile , on that same application he glossed over his very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a registered sex offender , saying that he dealt with a previous legal challenge but the case was discontinued .
The account in the Virgin Islands sat dormant with very little activity for many years , and it is unclear whether or not his international banking firm ever brought on clients .
Local authorities suspect it was used as some type of shell company for his criminal enterprise .
Despite the lack of activity and Epstein ’ s criminal record the bank renewed his license every year since he was first approved .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not unusual in itself—Epstein had dozens of bank accounts throughout the world that he used for a variety of different purposes , both legal and illegal .
What is strange is that tens of millions of dollars have been flowing from Epstein ’ s estate into this Virgin Islands account since his alleged suicide .
To make matters even more suspicious , the account was nearly cleaned out by the beginning of 2020 with no clear explanation of where the money went .
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that the bank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Epstein died back in August but received roughly $ 12.9 million in the months since .
The account was cleared out and left with just under a half-million dollars around the first of the year .
When questioned by Judge Carolyn Hermon-Purcell , the lawyers for Epstein ’ s estate said that the payments were made “ in error , ” but the judge was not satisfied with the explanation and demanded that the lawyers provide a full accounting of the payments made from the estate .
“ There ’ s no explanation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It is not clear when the lawyers for Epstein ’ s estate will be required to turn over the records , but it is expected to be a priority considering the many lawsuits that have been filed against the estate .

A judge in the Virgin Islands has recently questioned the lawyers of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, after an old bank account registered to Epstein received millions of dollars from the estate in the months since his death. The account was opened by Epstein in the Virgin Islands in 2014 and was reportedly intended to be used for an international banking firm that he planned to develop.
On his application, Epstein said that he wanted to pursue the “dynamic discipline of international banking.” Meanwhile, on that same application he glossed over his very serious criminal history and his status as a registered sex offender, saying that he dealt with a previous legal challenge but the case was discontinued.
The account in the Virgin Islands sat dormant with very little activity for many years, and it is unclear whether or not his international banking firm ever brought on clients. Local authorities suspect it was used as some type of shell company for his criminal enterprise. Despite the lack of activity and Epstein’s criminal record the bank renewed his license every year since he was first approved.
The fact that this account exists is not unusual in itself—Epstein had dozens of bank accounts throughout the world that he used for a variety of different purposes, both legal and illegal. What is strange is that tens of millions of dollars have been flowing from Epstein’s estate into this Virgin Islands account since his alleged suicide. To make matters even more suspicious, the account was nearly cleaned out by the beginning of 2020 with no clear explanation of where the money went.
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that the bank account had $693,157 in assets when Epstein died back in August but received roughly $12.9 million in the months since. The account was cleared out and left with just under a half-million dollars around the first of the year.
When questioned by Judge Carolyn Hermon-Purcell, the lawyers for Epstein’s estate said that the payments were made “in error,” but the judge was not satisfied with the explanation and demanded that the lawyers provide a full accounting of the payments made from the estate.
“There’s no explanation for it,” the judge said.
It is not clear when the lawyers for Epstein’s estate will be required to turn over the records, but it is expected to be a priority considering the many lawsuits that have been filed against the estate.

activistpost--2020-02-06--NO JAIL for Cop Guilty of Responding to Domestic Violence Call by Raping the Victim

El Paso , TX — Police , we are told , are the ones we call when we are in trouble and need help .
However , often times , “ help ” is the last thing people receive .
Instead of serving the public , many police officers use their badge to prey on them instead .
As the following case out of El Paso illustrates , they do so with seeming impunity and almost never go to jail for it .
Imagine for a moment that you are a victim of domestic violence .
After being attacked , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
However , when the police show up , instead of getting that help or protection , you get raped .
Well , that is exactly what happened to one woman in Texas and the cop who raped her was found guilty of it .
Instead of going to jail , however , this cop who admitted to raping a victim of domestic violence , gets off essentially scot-free and will only have to serve 10 years of probation .
This is a travesty of justice indeed—especially considering the fact that good people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for possession of marijuana .
On Friday , former El Paso police officer William Ollie Alexander received a 10-year suspended prison sentence on one count of sexual assault .
He will spend exactly zero days in jail for the brutal sexual assault of a domestic violence victim he was tasked with protecting .
He will also have to register as a sex offender for life .
According to authorities , on March 10 , 2018 , Alexander responded to a domestic violence call .
Before leaving the woman , he gave her his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him several hours later .
According to police , when she met him , he then kidnapped her , took her to a dark area near Mesa Street in West El Paso and raped her .
These facts are undisputed , yet this monster will not be going to jail .
“ I used to be trusting , ” the woman said when asked by prosecutors how the incident has impacted her .
“ I thought everyone was nice and would be helpful , but now I know it is not like that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long time .
I didn ’ t want any guy around me .
That ’ s not right .
I shouldn ’ t have to feel that way.
” According to the report in the El Paso Times , the woman cried as she testified about the impact the incident has had on her life , while Alexander began crying when his children came into the courtroom .
“ Can you imagine having a daughter and having this happen to her ?
” she asked .
“ It would be awful .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mom was overprotective , and I am going to be even more overprotective .
This is something I will never forget .
It was the worst day of my life.
” Despite her heart-wrenching testimony , the jury apparently blinded by the badge , sided with the rapist cop ’ s father who pleaded for no jail , out of fear for his son ’ s safety .
William Ollie Alexander III said he knows his son made a mistake , but he asked for his son to be sentenced to probation due @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safety in jail .
“ I understand he made a moral mistake , ” he said .
“ My son is a law enforcement officer .
I think you , I and all the men and women of the jury know what happens to law enforcement officers in prison.
” His attorneys , Dolph Quijano and Omar Carmona , backed up his father ’ s plea , claiming that if this rapist cop was sentenced to jail , he would be killed .
“ Any sentence you give Mr. Alexander could result in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ It doesn ’ t matter how many years .
He will go to the penitentiary as former police officer .
He is going to be there with gang members .
Yes , it is because of his actions , but remember any prison sentence is a death sentence.

Perhaps this cop should ’ ve thought about these repercussions before he raped a domestic violence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Or , perhaps he did , and he knew that he could rape her and no go to jail .
Either way , the result is the same and this cop who raped an innocent woman who needed his help will be going home to his family as others rot in prison for victimless crimes and possessing substances deemed illegal by the state .

He will spend exactly zero days in jail for the brutal sexual assault of a domestic violence victim he was tasked with protecting. He will also have to register as a sex offender for life.
According to authorities, on March 10, 2018, Alexander responded to a domestic violence call. Before leaving the woman, he gave her his phone number and told her to meet him several hours later.

activistpost--2020-02-06--A New Space Race? US, China, Russia, and Europe All Plan for Moon Bases

One year ago in January , a Chinese robot landed on the dark side of the moon .
Since then , the Chang ’ e 4 probe and the Yutu-2 rover it carried onboard have been busy photographing and scanning minerals , growing yeast , hatching fruit-fly eggs , and cultivating cotton , potato , and rapeseeds in the moon ’ s low gravity , according to the Daily Beast .
Now , China ’ s National Space Administration is quietly planning to launch yet another probe into space .
Chang ’ e 5 could blast off as early as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported that the Yutu-2 rover came across a strange “ gel-like ” substance which the Chinese began to study extensively .
The Chinese space agency has continued to work on its Tiangong 3 space station and is planning on testing a new manned spacecraft for deep-space missions .
That permanent station will reach orbit aboard the country ’ s new Long March 5B rocket in the first half of 2020 , AFP reported .
The mission will not be associated with the International Space Station .
It is worth noting that China and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ base together in a move of “ international collaboration ” back in 2017 .
Europe and Russia are also eyeing plans to send a probe to the dark side of the moon to determine if they should build a moon base on the far side of the lunar surface .
And the U.S. hasn ’ t been quiet when it comes to the space race either with the introduction of Space Force and plans of its own for a joint base with Russia .
For the U.S. , this space race to build @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A project known as Horizon was supposedly a plan drawn up in the 1950s that seemingly depicts the blueprints for a base on the moon .
Project Horizon sought to establish a stationary Army control base on the moon by 1966 but the operation was allegedly shut down and canceled and the idea never materialized further .
It was reported in a joint announcement by NASA and Russia ’ s Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities that the U.S. and Russia wanted to build a “ moon base ” the same year that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ However , the current plan with Russia resembles another previous proposal called the Manned Orbiting Laboratory ( MOL ) which ironically was suggested during the Cold War .
Russia and the U.S. now seek to revive that plan with a base that will orbit the moon similar to how the International Space Station moves around Earth .
The MOL ran from December 1963 until its alleged cancellation in June 1969 .
Its mission was to use an elite corps of secret U.S. astronauts to gather intelligence on the Soviets during the Cold War @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Roscosmos stated the partnership was for human exploration of the moon and deep space .
Both agencies signed a joint statement on the collaborative effort .
It all stemmed from NASA ’ s “ deep-space gateway ” concept , a mission architecture designed to send astronauts into lunar orbit by 2020 .
“ This plan challenges our current capabilities in human spaceflight and will benefit from engagement by multiple countries and U.S. industry , ” NASA officials said in a statement at the time .
NASA also had plans leak last year showing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lunar surface base , which is now being threatened by a U.S. House panel .

One year ago in January, a Chinese robot landed on the dark side of the moon. Since then, the Chang’e 4 probe and the Yutu-2 rover it carried onboard have been busy photographing and scanning minerals, growing yeast, hatching fruit-fly eggs, and cultivating cotton, potato, and rapeseeds in the moon’s low gravity, according to the Daily Beast.
Now, China’s National Space Administration is quietly planning to launch yet another probe into space. Chang’e 5 could blast off as early as this year.
Last year, TMU reported that the Yutu-2 rover came across a strange “gel-like” substance which the Chinese began to study extensively.
The Chinese space agency has continued to work on its Tiangong 3 space station and is planning on testing a new manned spacecraft for deep-space missions. That permanent station will reach orbit aboard the country’s new Long March 5B rocket in the first half of 2020, AFP reported. The mission will not be associated with the International Space Station.
It is worth noting that China and Europe both planned on building a moon base together in a move of “international collaboration” back in 2017. Europe and Russia are also eyeing plans to send a probe to the dark side of the moon to determine if they should build a moon base on the far side of the lunar surface.
And the U.S. hasn’t been quiet when it comes to the space race either with the introduction of Space Force and plans of its own for a joint base with Russia.
For the U.S., this space race to build a moon base is nothing new. A project known as Horizon was supposedly a plan drawn up in the 1950s that seemingly depicts the blueprints for a base on the moon. Project Horizon sought to establish a stationary Army control base on the moon by 1966 but the operation was allegedly shut down and canceled and the idea never materialized further.
It was reported in a joint announcement by NASA and Russia’s Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities that the U.S. and Russia wanted to build a “moon base” the same year that Europe and China announced their cooperation. However, the current plan with Russia resembles another previous proposal called the Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) which ironically was suggested during the Cold War. Russia and the U.S. now seek to revive that plan with a base that will orbit the moon similar to how the International Space Station moves around Earth.
The MOL ran from December 1963 until its alleged cancellation in June 1969. Its mission was to use an elite corps of secret U.S. astronauts to gather intelligence on the Soviets during the Cold War.
NASA and the Russian space agency Roscosmos stated the partnership was for human exploration of the moon and deep space. Both agencies signed a joint statement on the collaborative effort. It all stemmed from NASA’s “deep-space gateway” concept, a mission architecture designed to send astronauts into lunar orbit by 2020.
“This plan challenges our current capabilities in human spaceflight and will benefit from engagement by multiple countries and U.S. industry,” NASA officials said in a statement at the time.
NASA also had plans leak last year showing that they wanted to develop their own lunar surface base, which is now being threatened by a U.S. House panel.
The status of plans between Russia and the U.S. as well as China and Europe are currently public and either could be canceled for reasons of political tensions or something else before they see the light of day.
“China, the United States, Russia and Europe are all discussing whether to build a research base or a research station on the moon,” Wu Yanhua, deputy chief commander of China’s Lunar Exploration Program said.
The bigger worry isn’t space exploration—it is weaponizing space. The New York Times reported in 2015 that space could be the next war zone, warning about the implications of weaponizing space in an opinion piece literally titled “Preventing A Space War.”

In fact, no safe level of exposure has been scientifically determined for kids or pregnant women.
Regardless, many parents are still buying AirPods for their kids.
From the Wall Street Journal:
All Jacob Mars wanted for Christmas was a pair of AirPods. Not the regular $159 model, but the AirPods Pro, which cost $90 more. He’s 11. “I think they’re pretty cool,” Jacob said.
Cool? How about mind-blowing!
One 7-year-old boy choked and swallowed an AirPod he got for Christmas. From Radio.com:

IMPACT ON FEDERAL PROGRAMS
A recent report revealed that the federal government has turned state drivers’ license photos into a giant facial recognition database, putting virtually every driver in America in a perpetual electronic police lineup. The revelations generated widespread outrage, but this story isn’t new. The federal government has been developing a massive, nationwide facial recognition system for years.
The FBI rolled out a nationwide facial-recognition program in the fall of 2014, with the goal of building a giant biometric database with pictures provided by the states and corporate friends.
In 2016, the Center on Privacy and Technology at Georgetown Law released “The Perpetual Lineup,” a massive report on law enforcement use of facial recognition technology in the U.S. You can read the complete report at perpetuallineup.org. The organization conducted a year-long investigation and collected more than 15,000 pages of documents through more than 100 public records requests. The report paints a disturbing picture of intense cooperation between the federal government, and state and local law enforcement to develop a massive facial recognition database.
“Face recognition is a powerful technology that requires strict oversight. But those controls, by and large, don’t exist today,” report co-author Clare Garvie said. “With only a few exceptions, there are no laws governing police use of the technology, no standards ensuring its accuracy, and no systems checking for bias. It’s a wild west.”
There are many technical and legal problems with facial recognition, including significant concerns about the accuracy of the technology, particularly when reading the facial features of minority populations. During a test run by the ACLU of Northern California, facial recognition misidentified 26 members of the California legislature as people in a database of arrest photos.
With facial recognition technology, police and other government officials have the capability to track individuals in real-time. These systems allow law enforcement agents to use video cameras and continually scan everybody who walks by. According to the report, several major police departments have expressed an interest in this type of real-time tracking. Documents revealed agencies in at least five major cities, including Los Angeles, either claimed to run real-time face recognition off of street cameras, bought technology with the capability, or expressed written interest in buying it.
In all likelihood, the federal government heavily involves itself in helping state and local agencies obtain this technology. The feds provide grant money to local law enforcement agencies for a vast array of surveillance gear, including ALPRs, stingray devices and drones. The federal government essentially encourages and funds a giant nationwide surveillance net and then taps into the information via fusion centers and the Information Sharing Environment (ISE).
Fusion centers were sold as a tool to combat terrorism, but that is not how they are being used. The ACLU pointed to a bipartisan congressional report to demonstrate the true nature of government fusion centers: “They haven’t contributed anything meaningful to counterterrorism efforts. Instead, they have largely served as police surveillance and information sharing nodes for law enforcement efforts targeting the frequent subjects of police attention: Black and brown people, immigrants, dissidents, and the poor.”
Fusion centers operate within the broader ISE. According to its website, the ISE “provides analysts, operators, and investigators with information needed to enhance national security. These analysts, operators, and investigators…have mission needs to collaborate and share information with each other and with private sector partners and our foreign allies.” In other words, ISE serves as a conduit for the sharing of information gathered without a warrant. Known ISE partners include the Office of Director of National Intelligence which oversees 17 federal agencies and organizations, including the NSA. ISE utilizes these partnerships to collect and share data on the millions of unwitting people they track.
Reports that the Berkeley Police Department in cooperation with a federal fusion center deployed cameras equipped to surveil a “free speech” rally and Antifa counterprotests provided the first solid link between the federal government and local authorities in facial recognition surveillance.
In a nutshell, without state and local cooperation, the feds have a much more difficult time gathering information. Passage of state laws and local ordinances banning facial recognition eliminates one avenue for gathering facial recognition data. Simply put, data that doesn’t exist cannot be entered into federal databases.

When MOF-808 makes contact with a nerve agent, the water attached to the molecule breaks down the toxin, while zirconium atoms that recur throughout MOF-808’s crystal serve as the catalyst, accelerating the nerve agent’s breakdown.

A Classic Dead Cat Bounce
In the past few days, markets have been SPIRALING upwards. In fact, the average person feels GREAT about the economy, about his workplace, about his portfolio and about American dominance.
This happens to coincide with the most overbought stock market conditions in history.
As you know, as long as central banks keep lowering interest rates, there’s no reason to assume that stocks will crash in a major way or go sideways. Investors have ZERO alternatives, compared with the power of American businesses that are growing at a pace of 6%-8% a year, and pay dividends on top of it.
In the short term, though, Wall Street is SELLING and it will continue taking profits, so we might need to wait 3-4 more weeks for sentiment to turn bearish, before getting aggressive again.
Just look at the bullishness of Main Street America:
Fundamentally, America’s economy is truly BOOMING. Many millions, though, still have NO CHANCE of joining the prosperous landscape, but advancements have been noticeable in the past three years.
For example, the bottom 50% of wage-earners have seen a 47% increase in compensation. That’s more than what the top 1% have enjoyed during the Trump era.
Many families have risen back to middle-class status and many others no longer need food stamps.
Of the 60,000 factories that were either closed or outsourced in the past 20-30 years, 12,000 new ones are operating on U.S. soil and many more are planned or are getting built.
The USMCA, which replaced NAFTA (that cost America 25% of its manufacturing labor force), is forecasted to create 100K new high-paying jobs.
And, so, the problem is CLEAR AS DAY: Trump’s tax cuts, deregulation, trade negotiation, new legislation and aggressive initiatives are working for the private sector and unleashing the free enterprise system, but the DEFICITS are just STUPIDLY increasing.
You can see this disaster by checking out the debt/GDP ratio:
In his State of the Union Address, Trump specifically mentioned that Washington will not default on its Social Security promises. What this means is that the government will have to RESORT to other measures to fund its ATOMIC national debt, going forward.
So, while 50 million Americans watched Trump’s speech and his approval ratings hit all-time highs, Wall Street is cashing out for a bit.
The big players did the same thing in February ‘17, January ‘18 and February ‘19. Computer Traded Algorithms and large funds move the markets; if you’re bullish, you are playing with fire.
Another sign that the mom-and-pop investors have gone BERSERK is this:
Many “EXPERTS” have gone bankrupt or have caused other investors to LOSE FORTUNES, by pounding the table that TSLA should be shorted.
Jim Rogers offered up the best advice on shorting manias: markets stay irrational more than you can stay solvent. In other words, he has warned investors that fundamentals don’t matter in times of manias.
This isn’t the only sign of trouble. On Tuesday, I issued a trading warning on gold and it crashed just minutes later.
I still analyze gold’s sentiment as TOO-BULLISH:
The S&P 500 companies are currently reporting earnings and seven out of ten are BEATING expectations. It seems like the economy is better than most believe it is, which is the reason that companies that focus on consumers are BREAKING RECORDS.
We’ve capitalized on this and will continue to cover this topic.
In his SOTU address, Trump also highlighted healthcare and the need to have a healthy country, full of educated citizens.
That’s a huge opportunity – millennials are the most health-driven generation in America’s history!

Tredyffrin Township , PA — In this day and age , threats of violence against schools , students , churches , or individuals is not and should not be tolerated .

Tredyffrin Township, PA — In this day and age, threats of violence against schools, students, churches, or individuals is not and should not be tolerated. Before murdering more than a dozen people at his former high school in Parkland, Florida, Nikolas Cruz threatened to kill people multiple times, even stating that “I’m going to be a professional school shooter.” Had his threats been investigated, those children and teachers may still be alive. Anyone who who makes threats like his should be taken seriously and the police should act immediately.
But when should a threat not be taken seriously? How about when a 6-year-old girl with Down syndrome points her finger at a teacher and pretends to shoot? That’s when.
Unfortunately for Maggie Gaines, the mother of 6-year-old Margo, who is a student at Valley Forge Elementary School, her school did take it seriously and now her daughter has her name in a police report.
According to Gaines, Margo became frustrated in class last November and made a gesture with her hand that looked like a “gun.” This gesture then set off a series of events that ended with a 6-year-old with Down Syndrome having a police report on file.
Tredyffrin-Easttown School District says they had no other choice but to report the little girl to police and now Margo’s mom is fighting back.
“They get this phone call and I was fine with everything up until calling the police,” Gaines said. “And I said, ‘You absolutely do not have to call the police. You know, this is ridiculous.’”
After making her finger into the shape of a gun, Margo was sent to the principal’s office where it was determined no one was in harm’s way.
“My daughter got frustrated and pointed her finger at her teacher and said, ‘I shoot you,’” Gaines said. “At that point, they went to the principal’s office and it was quickly assessed that she didn’t even really know what she was saying.”
Despite knowing no one was truly threatened, Margo’s actions were labelled as a transient threat and the police were called—for a 6-year-old girl with Down syndrome.
“They were asking her questions, and she was saying, ‘Oh, I shoot mommy,’ laughs, or, ‘I shoot my brother.’ The principal asked, ‘Did you mean to hurt your teacher?’ And she said no and it seemed like she didn’t even know what that meant,” Gaines stated.
As CBS Philly points out, even though police sources confirm it is a confidential record, Gaines fears potential ramifications for her daughter.
“She really didn’t understand what she was saying, and having Down syndrome is one aspect, but I’m sure all 6-year-olds don’t really know what that means,” Gaines said. “Now, there is a record at the police that says she made a threat to her teacher.”
After remaining silent about the decision to involve cops in her 6-year-old daughter’s finger pointing incident for two months, Gaines is now appealing to the school board to amend its policy. She has the support of at least one lawmaker as well.
“As a state senator, an educator, and a parent, I am concerned when I hear that such important decisions appear to be guided blindly by written policy or legal interpretation without those in positions of authority using their judgment, experience, and commonsense to weigh in. Furthermore, I am alarmed that a school seems to be acting as an extension of the police department in promulgating data and records on children as young as kindergartners,” Pennsylvania state Sen. Andrew Dinniman, who was contacted by the Gaines family, said in a statement.
After the incident went public, the school board then agreed to review the policy. They released a statement, saying in part:
When an individual parent concern related to our school safety practices was brought to the attention of the District two weeks ago, we agreed to review those practices in the School Board Policy Committee meeting tonight. When developing the current practice, the District worked collaboratively with parents, law enforcement and private safety/mental health agencies and legal consultants to ensure our safety measures reflected considerable input from both our local community and experts in the field of school safety.
As TFTP reported in 2018, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel admitted that there were at least “20 calls for services in the last few years” regarding Nikolas Cruz and his threats to literally kill students. All of those threats were ignored. Had priority been devoted to these threats, lives could’ve been saved. No one is safer, however, when police resources are delegated to little 6-year-old girls who point their fingers at teachers.

In the span of two years , law enforcement ’ s ability to identify the public using BriefCam has gone from disturbing to frightening .
A recent article in Twin Cities Pioneer Press revealed how the St. Paul Police Department uses BriefCam to identify people , cars , and physical objects .
Law enforcement uses BriefCam to look for more than just a single blue car or a single person wearing a white shirt ; it will identify every blue car and person wearing a white shirt .
Police are using BriefCam to identify people by the type of sneakers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or carrying .
But to do that , law enforcement uses BriefCam to surveil everyone , regardless of guilt or innocence .
If you think that police tracking people based on 27 classes and attributes is frightening , then wait a couple of years until BriefCam expands to 50 or more ways .
BriefCam ’ s “ Video Content Analytics Technology ” also allows police to use multiple CCTV cameras to pinpoint people on bicycles or inside vehicles or by specific objects they are carrying .
What does this mean for everyone ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ability to identify a person who is trying to hide their identity from them by using a mask , umbrella , hat or sunglasses .
Would anyone like to bet that one of BriefCam ’ s 27 identifiable attributes also includes necklaces , earrings , piercings or rings ?

In the span of two years, law enforcement’s ability to identify the public using BriefCam has gone from disturbing to frightening.
A recent article in Twin Cities Pioneer Press revealed how the St. Paul Police Department uses BriefCam to identify people, cars, and physical objects.
If they’re looking for a blue car or a man wearing a white shirt, for example, algorithms can pinpoint when those objects appear in videos from particular locations and times.

Law enforcement uses BriefCam to look for more than just a single blue car or a single person wearing a white shirt; it will identify every blue car and person wearing a white shirt.
If, for example, police are told a suspect was a male wearing a hat and backpack at a particular intersection, technicians can enter the terms “hat” and “backpack” to search CCTV videos for people with those objects.
Police are using BriefCam to identify people by the type of sneakers, shoes and handbags people are wearing or carrying. But to do that, law enforcement uses BriefCam to surveil everyone, regardless of guilt or innocence.
BriefCam boasts that they use 27 classes and attributes to identify people in unimaginable new ways.
Quickly search and filter objects and events of interest by men, women, children, vehicles, and lighting changes with speed and precision, using 27 classes and attributes, in addition to face recognition, appearance similarity, color, size, speed, path, direction, and dwell time, providing an ever increasing and powerful set of distinct search combinations.
If you think that police tracking people based on 27 classes and attributes is frightening, then wait a couple of years until BriefCam expands to 50 or more ways.
BriefCam’s “Video Content Analytics Technology” also allows police to use multiple CCTV cameras to pinpoint people on bicycles or inside vehicles or by specific objects they are carrying.
Advanced multi-camera search powerfully identifies men, women, children and vehicles of interest with speed and precision, using face recognition, appearance similarity, apparel, color, size, speed, path, direction, dwell time and illumination change filters.
What does this mean for everyone’s privacy?
Police now have the ability to identify a person who is trying to hide their identity from them by using a mask, umbrella, hat or sunglasses. Would anyone like to bet that one of BriefCam’s 27 identifiable attributes also includes necklaces, earrings, piercings or rings?
Ben Feist, American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota chief programs officer warned, “BriefCam is fundamentally changing the way that you police people.”
Of course none of this would be possible, if it weren’t for Smart City surveillance. In fact BriefCam’s success at identifying everyone is dependent on the continued growth of Smart Cities.
BriefCam’s Video Content Analytics capabilities enable both private and public sectors to deliver safe, secure and sustainable cities by reducing the crime rate, optimizing pedestrian and vehicle traffic flow, monitoring these trends over time, and enabling proactive response with real-time alerting.
If you think I am exaggerating BriefCam’s role in smart city surveillance, then why did they write these two articles? BriefCam’s “Smart City’s Complete Guide To Face Recognition”, “BriefCam at Work In Safe Cities”.
BriefCam’s claim that smart city video surveillance is great for everyone really does not even come close to telling people the truth.
Taking advantage of the video surveillance systems deployed throughout these metropolitan areas, Smart Cities are unlocking the treasure trove of value in their video systems.
BriefCam’s attempt to obscure what is really happening can best be summed up like this:
Law enforcement and private companies are “taking advantage of video surveillance systems in metropolitan areas” by finding new ways to identify each of us. Smart cities allow police and corporations to unlock a treasure trove of data about everyone.
