From Greenwich Time:
What do you call it when there’s a little voice in your head only you can hear? A hallucination?
Amazon calls it progress. I’ve been living with its latest talking artificial intelligence product, called the Echo Frames, for two weeks. They’re glasses with tiny speakers and a microphone so you can have your own private conversations with Amazon’s Alexa virtual assistant everywhere you go.
This new version of Alexa is much more proactive about chatting – and it has driven me bananas. “WashPost,” chirped my glasses over my morning coffee to let me know about a news alert. “Outlook,” Alexa said minutes later, interrupting a real conversation with an offer to read my latest email. All day long, Alexa whispers notifications from apps into my ear: “Slack.” “Battery is at 20 percent.” “Outlook.” And more “Outlook.”
After two weeks with the $180 Echo Frames, I can report that you have to really love Alexa to want to wear it on your face. But the Frames offer a fascinating view of the state of the art in virtual assistants – and perhaps also the state of our dystopia. They’re one of Amazon’s first true “hearables”: wearable tech designed for hearing information, rather than seeing it.

The reality on the ground in Australia is that many small businesses were struggling even before the coronavirus lockdowns began. Now, with the country on the verge of what Financial Review is calling “Lockdown 2.0”, it could be the last straw for many businesses.
Nellerichal ‘‘Sree’’ Sreeju, who owns a gift shop in Richmond said: “It was already hard and this has made it five times harder. It’s really uncertain.”
He represents a microcosm of businesses in Australia who are begging for some sanity after the country has announced that “non-essential” retailers will once again have to close, starting at midnight on Wednesday this week.
‘‘It has been a roller-coaster. In March, it was really eerie and quiet, and then there was the boost from the stimulus package. Luckily for us, people have been finding us online,’’ he said. His business did “fairly well in July” after pivoting and adapting to the post-virus world.
“We’ve been doing a few corporate jobs and that’s kind of keeping us afloat now but the street income, we’re doing maybe 10 to 20 per cent of what we would have done,” he said.
The country’s restrictions also mean that barbershops and hairdressers will have to shut down. Joshua Mihan, owner of The Bearded Man barbershop said: “I think for any business owner, six weeks of no trading, the amount of money we’ll lose is quite a lot but at the same time, I think the government has been really good to small business. Without government support, I would definitely be in a terrible position right now.’’
He has already been forced to permanently close his second shop. “I acted quickly so the business didn’t suffer as much because I thought I’d rather have one stronger business than two depleted businesses,” he said.
Now, with another shutdown looming, he has no business.
Industry groups are calling this second shutdown the “final nail in the coffin” for many small businesses. Anne Nalder, chief executive of the Small Business Association, said: ‘‘A lot of very good businesses are going to be destroyed. Small business needs to be looked after financially. It’s going to mean a lot out of the government’s purses, but to do nothing, you will have no economy. Full stop.’’
Council of Small Business chief executive Peter Strong says there’s a “high number” of businesses that simply won’t survive the second lockdown: ‘‘At the moment, we’ve got to work to ensure this lockdown lasts only six weeks and people can open again because if it goes any longer, the damage will keep compounding. You won’t have an extra 10,000 businesses close, it’ll be 20,000 and we’re all afraid to put numbers on it.’’
Dani Zeini, who founded restaurant chain Royal Stacks and Grand Trailer Park Taverna, is deeply concerned about the toll of another lockdown on his businesses. He said: “The Melbourne CBD, 900,000 workers come to the city every week and that’s just disappeared not to mention there’s no shopping, football, tourists and then on top of that the little remaining workers we had, they can’t come.”
Meanwhile, we had just pointed out yesterday that Australia was implementing Draconian lockdown rules once again for its residents. Melbourne initiated its most severe restrictions yet, we noted:
The premier of Victoria plunged the region into a “state of disaster” on Sunday, announcing even stricter lockdown measures, introducing a nightly curfew and banning virtually all trips outdoors after Australia’s second largest state recorded 671 new infections in a single day. Daniel Andrews told Victorians at a news conference that “we have to do more, and we have to do more right now,” as the state battles to contain a devastating coronavirus outbreak that had already stripped residents of their freedoms, livelihoods and social interactions and made it an outlier from the rest of the country.
The new rules include:
“Where you slept last night is where you’ll need to stay for the next six weeks.“
Curfew between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Only one person per household will be allowed to leave their homes once a day — outside of curfew hours — to pick up essential goods, and they must stay within a 5 kilometer radius of their home unless nearest shop is over 5 KM away.
Exercise can be taken for up to an hour a day, with one other person, but still within five kilometers of a person’s home.

The world has been watching footage of the massive explosion in Beirut’s main city port yesterday, causing widespread speculation as to whether or not this was a covert military operation employing some new generation of tactical small-yield nuclear weapons.
So far, all indications seem to be that this blast was the result of fatal mishandling of hazardous materials, and no faction has stepped up to take responsibility for this as an attack.
The videos are downright terrifying.
The official story is that a fire in a fireworks factory ignited a six-year-old cache of ammonium nitrate that was improperly stored in the area, causing the massive blast. In this video, you can clearly see fireworks:
Fireworks can be seen clearly in this video https://t.co/Z2DMT0JNbs pic.twitter.com/fXZgMbJ0EV — Ali (@allushiii_new) August 4, 2020
The blast was utterly devastating, and others are convinced this was a nuclear weapon. We don’t think so, but here are both sides.
Watch the blast in the video. Similar to a tactical nuke… I live 50km away from Beirut and my house shook from the blast wave… Armageddon sceneries within 10 km diameter from the blast. pic.twitter.com/PdSDddZlQ6 — Elias P. ELIAS (@EliasPELIAS1) August 4, 2020
While people try to guess what could have really happened, it’s important to remember that small-yield nukes have been developed and are part of the next generation of warfare. NPR reported in January that new low-yield nukes were already being deployed on American submarines:

The result would be to reduce its explosive power from 100 kilotons of TNT, to about five – approximately a third of the force of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. [Source]
To many experts, the explosion in Beirut yesterday does not appear to be a weapon; nevertheless, because low-yield nukes do exist and are deployed, it will only be a matter of time before they are used on someone.
In fact, there are several instances in recent years that many believe are examples of low-yield nukes being used in conflicts in the Middle East in Yemen and Syria.

Instead, we are left to speculate, comparing footage of blasts from different situations. We do know that the US, Russia, China, Israel and Saudi Arabia are all nuclear powers, and given the current state of arms proliferation and international sales, who knows what these forces have in their arsenals?
Finally, a look at a Russian detonation in August of 2019 offers a blast that most closely resembles the Beirut explosion, and many believe the Russian example is a low-yield nuclear weapon. The official story on this is that a weapons depot accidentally blew up, similar to the story out of Beirut. The two explosions are quite similar when you look at the initial blast and cloud, the secondary massive blast, and the enormous shockwave that followed.

While the idea of “connected” cars seems like a logical and convenient path for the automotive industry to appease customers, it brings with it one major Achilles’ heel: these vehicles are far more susceptible to cyberattacks than traditional cars.
The personal data fraud that comes with connected cars has skyrocketed, with USwitch estimating that connected car cyberattacks have risen by 99% over the last year alone.
The study noted that a Boeing 787 jet has about 6.5 million lines of code, while a standard connected car has about 100 million. Hackers need to only change one small portion of this code to have access to your data, it says. As an example, cybercriminals stole the personal data of 380,000 people from British Airways by changing only 22 lines of code, out of thousands, the report notes.
The report also estimates that by the year 2026, 100% of cars sold in the UK are expected to be connected vehicles. This obviously increases the number of ways in which your info is at risk. We have also written in the past about the appeal of car companies collecting and selling the data that their vehicles are able to collect on their drivers.

There is also an obvious attack point at any car’s app software, as well. If these apps can be modified, so too can be the instructions they send to your vehicle. The study notes: “A high-profile example of this came when Nissan had to shut down an on-board app after testing by security researchers revealed a serious vulnerability.”

Finally, the main method for theft already being used is when thieves attack the systems used by the keyfob. Most thefts in these cases take place while cars are still parked at the owner’s house. Thieves can amplify or duplicate the signal used to gain access to these vehicles without the fob.
Recall, last August, we highlighted how a Tesla could be hacked and stolen in under 30 seconds.
In a test performed by What Car? magazine, seven car models with keyless entry and start systems were tested to see how quickly they could be stolen. The results? An Audi TT RS was stolen in 10 seconds and a Land Rover Discovery Sport was stolen in 30.

Miami Beach, FL — On December 18, 2018, Miami Beach police officer Adriel Dominguez lost his temper and delivered a haymaker to the face Lowell Poitier Jr., sending the innocent man crashing to the ground. The entire incident — which unfolded in 2018 — was captured on body camera and the public only knew about it because two good cops would show it to them.
For the last two years, an internal “investigation” has been underway which wrapped up recently. One would think that the two cops who showed a criminal cop punching an innocent man would be given a promotion and the bad cop fired and charged, right? Wrong.
Instead of Dominguez facing charges of assault for attacking Poitier, he was cleared of any wrongdoing. And, instead of promoting the two cops who exposed a bad cop within their ranks, Internal Affairs investigators gave Miami Beach Police Officer Alfredo Garcia a written warning for “producing and distributing an unauthorized version of recordings” from his body camera. And Officer Frederick Dominguez received notice of a 10-hour suspension for releasing a copy of the tape made by Garcia to his attorney, Michael Pizzi.
The two cops are seeking whistleblower protection.
According to the report, Garcia filmed a copy of the body camera video on his cellphone and then gave that to officer Frederick Dominguez, who then released it.
Just like that, the bad cop gets a pass and the two good cops are punished for crossing the thin blue line.
The incident unfolded in December of 2018 at the Pelican Hotel. According to police, Poitier was being loud and smoking a cigar which bothered other customers.
As the Miami Herald reports:
According to internal affairs investigators, when Garcia and Adriel Dominguez arrived they spoke to the manager and asked Poitier to leave. Then, the report says, Poitier, who is Black, swore at the officers and called them “crackers.” Video of the confrontation shows Poitier walk toward Adriel Dominguez and put his face within inches of the officer’s face. The officer then grabs Poitier briefly with his left hand and cold-cocks him with a right, sending him crashing to the ground. Some parts of Poitier’s arrest report didn’t seem to match what was seen on the video. In the report, police wrote that Poitier clenched his fist and took a fighting stance. That didn’t seem to be the case in the video.
Despite the false claims in the report, Poitier was charged with resisting arrest without violence and disorderly conduct. However, after the facts of the case showed that Poitier was the victim and not the aggressor, all those charges were dropped. David Kubiliun, an attorney who represents Poitier, said they are now pursuing a civil suit against the department for excessive force.
As the newspaper reports, the information on the Miami Beach police officers came to light after a recent public records request by the Miami Herald. In the close-out memo that cleared Adriel Dominguez, the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office said the officer could have believed Lowell Poitier Jr. was “about to hit him.”
“Thus, officer Dominguez had the right to protect himself,” wrote Assistant State Attorney Sandra Miller-Batiste in the “investigation” which cleared Dominguez.
Tuesday, Miami Beach Police Chief Richard Clements justified the officer’s unprovoked knock-out punch by claiming there is a side to police work that “doesn’t always look good,” but falls within the guidelines of what officers are trained to do.
“I believe this is one of those cases,” said the chief. “He was in what the officer perceived to be a fighting stance. In that case the officer reverted back to his training. It was a distractionary blow.”
Naturally, the whistleblower cops and their attorney disagree.
“What a disgrace. Based on the way this was handled, it’s open season on innocent people,” said Pizzi. “It’s outrageous.”
We agree. When good cops are punished for blowing the whistle, while the bad ones get a pass, any talk of “reforming” America’s police problem is pointless.

activistpost--2020-08-06--Has the Fed Let the Inflation Genie Out of the Bottle?

The dramatic ascent of precious metals markets this summer reflects what could be just the start of a longer-term decline and fall in the Federal Reserve Note ’ s value and status .
With gold prices surpassing $ 2,000/oz recently , the monetary metal has now made new all-time highs versus all the world ’ s major fiat currencies .
Gold is , as former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan has acknowledged , the “ ultimate money.
” The Fed , by contrast , is the ultimate inflator .
Fed officials won ’ t tolerate deflation ( an increase in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – or even “ no-flation ” ( in the form of a stable-value Federal Reserve Note ) .
In defiance of their statutory mandate to pursue “ price stability , ” Fed officials are waging a deliberate campaign to generate higher rates of price inflation .
Meanwhile , the Fed continues to suppress interest rates across the yield curve .
On Tuesday , the yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to a record-low 0.52 % .
A falling dollar ( the U.S. Dollar Index in July suffered its biggest one-month decline since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prices and rising inflation expectations would normally send investors fleeing from bonds , forcing their yields up .
But these are not normal times .

The dramatic ascent of precious metals markets this summer reflects what could be just the start of a longer-term decline and fall in the Federal Reserve Note’s value and status.
With gold prices surpassing $2,000/oz recently, the monetary metal has now made new all-time highs versus all the world’s major fiat currencies. Gold is, as former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan has acknowledged, the “ultimate money.”
The Fed, by contrast, is the ultimate inflator.
Fed officials won’t tolerate deflation (an increase in the purchasing power of the currency) – or even “no-flation” (in the form of a stable-value Federal Reserve Note).
In defiance of their statutory mandate to pursue “price stability,” Fed officials are waging a deliberate campaign to generate higher rates of price inflation.
According to a CNBC report,
In the next few months, the Federal Reserve will be solidifying a policy outline that would commit it to low rates for years as it pursues an agenda of higher inflation… in which inflation above the central bank’s usual 2% target would be tolerated and even desired.
Meanwhile, the Fed continues to suppress interest rates across the yield curve. On Tuesday, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to a record-low 0.52%.
A falling dollar (the U.S. Dollar Index in July suffered its biggest one-month decline since 2010) coupled with spiking precious metals prices and rising inflation expectations would normally send investors fleeing from bonds, forcing their yields up.
But these are not normal times.
“Not only have Treasury yields been historically low, they have been unusually stable,” notes Barron’s. “That would be consistent with ‘yield curve control,’ a method of pegging long-term borrowing costs. This has been among the policies under discussion by the Fed…”
It appears that “yield curve control” policy is already being implemented behind the scenes as part of the Fed’s bond buying operations.
The Fed is now the largest single institutional holder of U.S. Treasuries. Through the powers of self-dealing and an unlimited printing press, the Fed can manipulate the bond market like a puppeteer.
For how long can the central planners artificially sustain a bull market in bonds that is becoming increasingly divorced from market realities? At some point, interest rates will hit a final bottom.
Conventional wisdom used to be that 0% was the absolute floor. But in recent years, we’ve seen trillions of dollars’ worth of European cash and debt instruments carry negative yields.
There need not necessarily be any “zero lower bound” on rates on any part of the yield curve. However, even if U.S. rates never turn negative in nominal terms, they can go deeply negative in real terms – with no lower bound.
To illustrate, if benchmark bond yields hover around 0.5%, that nominally positive yield is actually negative (-1.5%) assuming a 2% inflation rate.
Fed policymakers can effectively cut rates by raising inflation.
And by the way, there is nothing more bullish for gold and silver prices than steeply negative real interest rates on fiat currencies.
Maintaining negative real interest rates – as opposed to negative nominal rates – is the path the Fed is on… not the path Europe took.
Europe’s negative interest rate policies are now widely viewed as having failed to achieve central bankers’ objectives of stimulating borrowing and economic activity.
Negative nominal rates sent the signal that an economic freeze was in place, so people continued to hunker down financially.
But pushing inflation rates higher gives the illusion of growth.
Though the real economy may be shrinking in the aftermath of coronavirus lockdowns, a stock market pumped up by Fed liquidity injections does stimulate paper wealth creation. In theory, that paper wealth might trickle down into actual consumer demand and job creation.
In reality, the Fed is transferring wealth to Wall Street and pain to Main Street.
Financial wealth will to some extent find its way into the real economy – in the form of higher price inflation. That’s what soaring precious metals markets seem to be telegraphing.
The Fed’s inflation-raising scheme is in many ways far more dangerous than negative interest rate policy.
Central bankers can manipulate interest rates with precision if they are careful. But they should not be so arrogant as to believe they can successfully manipulate inflation rates up to particular targets and keep them there.
Once the inflation genie is let out of the bottle – once consumers, businesses, and investors begin to act on expectations of higher rates of price increases – inflationary psychology can snowball faster than the Fed can issue policy statements.
Inflationary episodes like we saw the late 1970s – and like we’ve been seeing over the past four months – are characterized by extreme volatility amid dollar insecurity.
Holders of Federal Reserve Note dollars and dollar-denominated real negative-yielding IOUs are like sheep lining up to get slaughtered through purchasing power losses.
Those who want to survive the coming inflation must seek the protection of sound assets, including sound money – gold and silver.

At least Trump seems to be finally paying attention .
President Trump has withdrawn the nomination of FCC Commissioner Michael O ’ Rielly , a six-year FCC veteran who was expected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ third term , as first reported by Reuters .
The withdrawal comes less than a week after Sen. Jim Inhofe ( R-OK ) placed a hold on the nomination over concerns about O ’ Rielly ’ s position on a recently approved terrestrial 5G network .
The conflict centers over a controversial 5G network recently approved by the commission .
The proposed network would operate on the L-band spectrum traditionally utilized by radar and GPS , operated by Ligado Networks as a low-power terrestrial system .
In its proposal , Ligado pledged to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to avoid any interference with existing L-band users , but critics of the order have remained concerned that the network may interfere with GPS systems .
Sen. Inhofe is one of those critics , saying , “ This isn ’ t just about our military , but all users of GPS are united in opposition.
” As a result , Inhofe sought to block O ’ Rielly ’ s nomination “ until he publicly states that he will vote to overturn the current Ligado Order.

Readers may recall in mid-April, the first signs of the second round of layoffs and furloughs appeared. Then by June, high-frequency data of the U.S. economy suggested the recovery reversed as state governors were forced to pause reopenings due to increasing COVID-19 cases and deaths.
Since July, initial and continuing claims have risen, suggesting the worst employment crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s continues to unfold.
New evidence published Tuesday in a study by Cornell Law School Senior Fellow and Adjunct Professor Daniel Alpert reveals the second round of layoffs is becoming more severe as the fiscal cliff begins.
The study, conducted from July 23 to August 1, by Alpert and RIWI Corp., shows 31% of employees initially laid off or furloughed because of the virus-induced recession were just recently laid off a second time.
Here are highlights from the study titled “New Cornell-JQI-RIWI Survey Shows that the Second Wave of U.S. Layoffs and Furloughs is Well Under Way:”
Of workers who were placed back on payrolls after being initially laid off/furloughed as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis, 31% report that they have been laid off a second time, and another 26% of those placed back on payrolls report being told by their employer that they may be laid off again.
37% of respondents employed by third-party employers (i.e., not self-employed) have been laid off/furloughed – at least once – since March 1, 2020.
– at least once – since March 1, 2020. 57% of those initially laid off/furloughed reported being put back on payroll sometime after their initial dismissal, but 39% of such respondents say they were put back on the payroll yet were not asked to return to actual work.
The survey revealed a disturbing trend: The second round of layoffs are happening “in states that have not been experiencing recent COVID-19 surges, relative to those in surging states.”
RIWI conducted the survey, then Alpert and his team analyzed the data. Here’s how the survey was conducted:
“RIWI randomly engaged a total of 10,719 U.S. respondents aged 16+ from July 23 to August 1 on a continuous 24/7 basis with questions to determine who held a private-sector job, which share of those were laid off, which share of those re-payrolled, and then in turn which share was laid off or told they might be laid off (see Appendix for full question and answer set, as well as other technical information). A total of 6,383 respondents fully completed the core questions,” the study said.
As the labor market falters, recovery reverses, fiscal cliff hits, and rent eviction moratorium expires, households across America will be severely pressured in August until the next round of stimulus is passed.
The biggest takeaway from the survey is that there’s no V-shaped economic recovery in the back half of the year, the Trump administration and Congress will need to pass trillions of dollars more in direct payments to tens of millions of broke Americans, or face a crash in consumption. The virus-induced recession has financially ruined the bottom 90% of households.
Alpert said “additional economic shutdowns” due to rising virus cases and deaths will exacerbate the second round of layoffs.
Wall Street is ignoring the deep economic scarring from the virus, as we’ve recently mentioned: permanent job loss now stands at nearly 3 million in June, up from 1.6 million people in February.
Putting this all together, Gary Shilling, the president of A. Gary Shilling & Co., recently told CNBC that Wall Street has misread the shape of the economic recovery, as he warns a 1930s-style decline in the stock market could be ahead.
