activistpost--2020-11-07--New COVID Film “Songbird”:  Is This the Real Life?  Is This Just Fantasy?

How your life has been affected by COVID-19 depends on where you live .
While reports of inaccurate tests continue to increase ( see 1 , 2 ) , and at least one person suffered a serious injury from a nasal swab test , mandates continue to be issued and/or extended for additional testing , restrictions , and surveillance .
New , invasive , and unsafe technology has been and continues to be invented , deployed , and worn in an effort to detect illness and prevent its spread .
This includes wearables worn by American military personnel , employees @ @ @ @ @ @ @ school children and staff as well as expensive temperature scanning technology installed at schools and universities .
There are credible skeptics who say this can be more hurtful than helpful .
Experts continue to warn about the obvious privacy and safety risks with all of this .
Depending on who you ask – the “ cures ” are worse than the illness .
A soon-to-be released fictional film captures the essence of all of the above .
‘ 216TH WEEK OF LOCKDOWN ’ – New COVID Film SONGBIRD Scares the Hell out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fiction The soon-to-be-released film Songbird is the first major project out of Hollywood since the lockdowns began , and it smacks of predictive programming , trauma-based mind control , and a disturbing blurring of the lines between fact and fiction .
“ Predictive programming is a subtle form of psychological conditioning provided by the media to acquaint the public with planned societal changes to be implemented by our leaders .
If and when these changes are put through , the public will already be familiarized with them and will accept them as natural @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and commotion.
” ~ Alan Watts Indeed , Songbird is not deeply disturbing because it stretches the imagination into shockingly novel and unthinkable territory , as is to be expected from fiction , but rather , it sends chills up the spine because it speaks to what many of us are already horrified to have seen and believe will likely continue to see happening around us , in the name of “ protecting the public against deadly viruses.
” In fact , many of the terrifying scenes within the film ’ s trailer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because have already been seeded and administered in shocking doses by the Chinese and global media , such as images of citizens dropping dead in the streets , being forcibly removed from their homes by militarized medical police , or the soldering shut of buildings to keep newly quarantined citizens inside their homes-become-lockdown cells .
It is conspicuous that Songbird somehow received approval to be the first feature film to be made during COVID-19 in Los Angeles when virtually all other major products were forbidden from continuing .
Also , STX Entertainment ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Tencent , a multinational technology conglomerate holding company which includes medical and artificial intelligence divisions , and Hony Capital , which has direct investment ties to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation .
Here is STX Entertainment ’ s telling description of the film : “ In the terrifying thriller SONGBIRD , the COVID-23 virus has mutated and the world is in its fourth year of lockdown .
Infected Americans are ripped from their homes and forced into quarantine camps known as Q-Zones , from which there is no escape , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the forces of oppression .
Amid this dystopian landscape , a fearless courier , Nico ( KJ Apa ) , who ’ s immune to the deadly pathogen , finds hope and love with Sara ( Sofia Carson ) , though her lockdown prohibits them from physical contact .
When Sara is believed to have become infected , Nico races desperately across the barren streets of Los Angeles in search of the only thing that can save her from imprisonment … or worse .
The first feature film to be made during COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic itself , SONGBIRD also stars Bradley Whitford and Demi Moore as a wealthy couple who may hold the key to Nico ’ s mission ; Alexandra Daddario as a singer enmeshed in a messy and forbidden affair ; Paul Walter Hauser as a disabled veteran whose best friend – a drone named Max – is his eyes and ears to a world that has left him behind ; Craig Robinson as Nico ’ s boss ; and Peter Stormare as the corrupt head of the city ’ s “ sanitation ” department @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them to the Q-Zone.
” Songbird could be viewed as the perfect merger of predictive programming and trauma-based mind and behavioral control , the latter of which has long been used by private and public sectors in partnership ( e.g .
the CIA ’ s Operation Mockingbird which manipulated news media for propaganda purposes ) , or alone , to leverage media assets in such a way as to produce changes in mass behavior , thought , and emotion .
Even if there is absolutely no “ hidden agenda , ” or intention @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mind and behavior of the masses , by scaring the living hell out of people with worsening global scenarios , such as the “ 216th straight week ” of lockdown , and the coining of a COVID-23 strain , indicative that in 2023 and beyond things will likely be far worse than they already are ( reminiscent of the “ endless war on terror , ” but with viruses taking on the role of bioterrorists ) , it accomplishes several things that may have value for those who have architected and implemented @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , i.e .
Plandemic .
First , if things continue to spiral downward as depicted in Songbird , and civil liberties remain suspended or more egregious violations occur ( e.g .
mandatory vaccination ; forcible internment ) , when the atrocities depicted in the film do come to pass , there may be less resistance among those affected , because the “ shock ” and subsequent disassociation created by the film will generate an immediate , albeit surreal sense of narrative recognition , a déjà vu which follows the unfolding of events that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which then lead learned helplessness and passivity when similar events actually unfold in reality .
Or , conversely , if the worst-case scenarios described in the film do not come to pass , they provide a psychic reference frame for what “ could have been much worse , ” rendering the civil and human rights violations actually happening right now to be perceived as less egregious and more likely to generate complacency .
Either way , the film would accomplish both a certain shock-induced emotional release , as well as subsequent anesthetizing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be considered the perfect formula for co-opting an already media-addicted population who may never before in human history , be less prone to believing the actual evidence of their own eyes in favor of what is presented to them as the “ official narrative ” through the mainstream media , with the line between fiction and fact become every increasingly blurred , if not entirely erased .
Songbird , therefore , becomes the perfect intentional or accidental tool of Operation Mockingbird .
Is Songbird Fiction or Predictive Programming ?
Are the CDC ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or Intended to be Implemented ?
In Songbird , we know that there are so-called “ Q-Zones ” set up to confine those suspected to be at risk of being infected , or who are infected .
This “ fictional scenario ” bears eerie resemblance to scenarios called “ Green Zones ” described on the CDC ’ s website .
The CDC recently released guidelines on the implementation of what amounts to COVID-19 internment or preventive confinement camps .
The document , last updated on July 26 , 2020 , can be found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings.
” It proposes a set of guidelines for the establishment of so-called “ green zones ” intended to segregate and quarantine “ high risk ” populations in order to implement a “ shielding approach to COVID-19.
” According to the document , a shielding approach : “ …aims to reduce the number of severe COVID-19 cases by limiting contact between individuals at higher risk of developing severe disease ( “ high-risk ” ) and the general population @ @ @ @ @ @ @ individuals would be temporarily relocated to safe or “ green zones ” established at the household , neighborhood , camp/sector or community level depending on the context and setting.1,2 They would have minimal contact with family members and other low-risk residents.
” The so-called “ high risk ” group described in the document are , “ older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
” The shielding approach would require physically separating high-risk individuals from the general population , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use of the limited available resources and avoid implementing long-term containment measures among the general population.
” The three proposed options for containment/interment are labeled “ green zones ” and include : a ) Household Level b ) Neighborhood Level and c ) Camp/Sector Level .
The CDC states that the shielding approach “ necessitates strict adherence , ” if it is to live up to its promises of protecting high-risk populations from disease and death , and acknowledges that , it could , in fact , make the situation worse through the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ green zone , which it says would result in rapid transmission among the most vulnerable populations the approach is trying to protect .
The CDC also acknowledges that this is a novel approach and that the idea for it comes from “ humanitarian settings as outlined in guidance documents focused on camps , displaced populations , and low-resource settings .
This approach has never been documented and has raised questions and concerns among humanitarian partners who support response activities in these settings .
The purpose of this document is to highlight potential implementation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CDC ’ s perspective and guide thinking around implementation in the absence of empirical data .
Considerations are based on current evidence known about the transmission and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19 ) and may need to be revised as more information becomes available.
” The CDC ’ s document guidelines are based on two papers published in 2020 titled , “ Guidance for the prevention of COVID-19 infections among high-risk individuals in camps and camp-like settings , ” and COVID-19 control in low-income settings and displaced populations : what can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine – a heavily Gates and Melinda Foundation funded and influenced organization .
The CDC document also contains a subsection titled , “ Timeline Considerations , ” which sets up a plan for an “ extended duration of implementation time , at least 6 months.
” The explanation provided for this extended duration is as follows : “ Explanation : The shielding approach proposes that green zones be maintained until one of the following circumstances arises : ( i ) sufficient hospitalization capacity is established @ @ @ @ @ @ @ therapeutic options become widely available ; or ( iii ) the COVID-19 epidemic affecting the population subsides .
Given the limited resources and healthcare available to populations in humanitarian settings prior to the pandemic , it is unlikely sufficient hospitalization capacity ( beds , personal protective equipment , ventilators , and staff ) will be achievable during widespread transmission .
The national capacity in many of the countries where these settings are located ( e.g.
, Chad , Myanmar , and Syria ) is limited .
Resources may become quickly overwhelmed during the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accessible to the emergency affected populations .
Vaccine trials are underway , but with no definite timeline .
Reaching the suppression phase where the epidemic subsides can take several months and cases may resurge in a second or even third wave .
Herd immunity ( the depletion of susceptible people ) for COVID-19 has not been demonstrated to date .
It is also unclear if an infected person develops immunity and the duration of potential immunity is unknown .
Thus , contingency plans to account for a possibly extended operational timeline are critical.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ also referenced in the document are : • Green zones would be “ monitored and evaluated , ” with dedicated staff to monitor adherence to protocols and potential adverse effects or outcomes due to isolation and stigma , as well as “ if feasible , to minimize movement in/out of green zones.
” • Men and women would be “ isolated separately.
” • So-called “ High-risk minors ” would be accompanied into isolation by a single caregiver who will also be considered a green zone resident in terms of movements and contacts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • “ High-risk individuals will be responsible for cleaning and maintaining their own living space and facilities .
This may not be feasible for persons with disabilities or decreased mobility.
” While the two primary papers upon which the guidance is based focus on the application of these systems within non-developed or under-developed ‘ humanitarian zones , ” one wonders what would stop the CDC from employing this strategy domestically if , in fact , these interventions lived up to their promises and actually “ saved lives.
” After all , it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was used to shutter the national economy , and rendered most social behaviors either illegal or impossible to engage in , since the national lockdown began on March 15th .
Even if these guidelines were intended for the “ non-US setting ” ( which they have not said ) , trusting that the CDC is either without duplicity , has our best intentions in mind , or is solely in control and charge of the unfolding COVID agenda , amounts to quite a leap of faith in times like ours .
For example @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instead of the CDC will be in charge of distributing and “ deploying ” COVID vaccines to the public .
Sadly , this could be a sign of things come .
What is not conjecture and completely factual is that Songbird depicts COVID internment or confinement camps as “ Q-Zones , ” and the CDC provides a document that describes them as “ Green Zones ” — to be implemented somewhere in the world .
This is just one example of how fiction and fact are increasingly blurred in the time of Covid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ running scared ?
Another example of predictive programming can be found in a 2010 National Film Board of Canada predictive programming documentary OUTBREAK wherein is detailed the Government of Canada ’ s plans for a future outbreak and how it will roundup , mandate tracking bracelets , and put into detention centers those who refuse vaccination .
With films like Songbird leaving people feeling even more scared , traumatized and disempowered , the good news is there are positive actions you can take .

‘216TH WEEK OF LOCKDOWN’ – New COVID Film SONGBIRD Scares the Hell out of People Because It May Not Be Entirely Fiction
By:GMI Reporter
The soon-to-be-released film Songbird is the first major project out of Hollywood since the lockdowns began, and it smacks of predictive programming, trauma-based mind control, and a disturbing blurring of the lines between fact and fiction.
“Predictive programming is a subtle form of psychological conditioning provided by the media to acquaint the public with planned societal changes to be implemented by our leaders. If and when these changes are put through, the public will already be familiarized with them and will accept them as natural progressions, thus lessening possible public resistance and commotion.” ~ Alan Watts
Indeed, Songbird is not deeply disturbing because it stretches the imagination into shockingly novel and unthinkable territory, as is to be expected from fiction, but rather, it sends chills up the spine because it speaks to what many of us are already horrified to have seen and believe will likely continue to see happening around us, in the name of “protecting the public against deadly viruses.”
In fact, many of the terrifying scenes within the film’s trailer will already be familiar to the public because have already been seeded and administered in shocking doses by the Chinese and global media, such as images of citizens dropping dead in the streets, being forcibly removed from their homes by militarized medical police, or the soldering shut of buildings to keep newly quarantined citizens inside their homes-become-lockdown cells.
It is conspicuous that Songbird somehow received approval to be the first feature film to be made during COVID-19 in Los Angeles when virtually all other major products were forbidden from continuing. Also, STX Entertainment’s top investors include Chinese companies such as Tencent, a multinational technology conglomerate holding company which includes medical and artificial intelligence divisions, and Hony Capital, which has direct investment ties to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Here is STX Entertainment’s telling description of the film:
“In the terrifying thriller SONGBIRD, the COVID-23 virus has mutated and the world is in its fourth year of lockdown. Infected Americans are ripped from their homes and forced into quarantine camps known as Q-Zones, from which there is no escape, as a few brave souls fight back against the forces of oppression. Amid this dystopian landscape, a fearless courier, Nico (KJ Apa), who’s immune to the deadly pathogen, finds hope and love with Sara (Sofia Carson), though her lockdown prohibits them from physical contact. When Sara is believed to have become infected, Nico races desperately across the barren streets of Los Angeles in search of the only thing that can save her from imprisonment … or worse.
The first feature film to be made during COVID-19 in Los Angeles, and about the pandemic itself, SONGBIRD also stars Bradley Whitford and Demi Moore as a wealthy couple who may hold the key to Nico’s mission; Alexandra Daddario as a singer enmeshed in a messy and forbidden affair; Paul Walter Hauser as a disabled veteran whose best friend – a drone named Max – is his eyes and ears to a world that has left him behind; Craig Robinson as Nico’s boss; and Peter Stormare as the corrupt head of the city’s “sanitation” department, which seizes those infected and transports them to the Q-Zone.”
Songbird could be viewed as the perfect merger of predictive programming and trauma-based mind and behavioral control, the latter of which has long been used by private and public sectors in partnership (e.g. the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird which manipulated news media for propaganda purposes), or alone, to leverage media assets in such a way as to produce changes in mass behavior, thought, and emotion.

Or, conversely, if the worst-case scenarios described in the film do not come to pass, they provide a psychic reference frame for what “could have been much worse,” rendering the civil and human rights violations actually happening right now to be perceived as less egregious and more likely to generate complacency.
Either way, the film would accomplish both a certain shock-induced emotional release, as well as subsequent anesthetizing effect on the public. This could be considered the perfect formula for co-opting an already media-addicted population who may never before in human history, be less prone to believing the actual evidence of their own eyes in favor of what is presented to them as the “official narrative” through the mainstream media, with the line between fiction and fact become every increasingly blurred, if not entirely erased. Songbird, therefore, becomes the perfect intentional or accidental tool of Operation Mockingbird.
Is Songbird Fiction or Predictive Programming? Are the CDC’s COVID-19 “Green Zones” Theoretical or Intended to be Implemented?
In Songbird, we know that there are so-called “Q-Zones” set up to confine those suspected to be at risk of being infected, or who are infected. This “fictional scenario” bears eerie resemblance to scenarios called “Green Zones” described on the CDC’s website.
The CDC recently released guidelines on the implementation of what amounts to COVID-19 internment or preventive confinement camps. The document, last updated on July 26, 2020, can be found on their website and is titled, “Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings.” It proposes a set of guidelines for the establishment of so-called “green zones” intended to segregate and quarantine “high risk” populations in order to implement a “shielding approach to COVID-19.”
According to the document, a shielding approach:
“…aims to reduce the number of severe COVID-19 cases by limiting contact between individuals at higher risk of developing severe disease (“high-risk”) and the general population (“low-risk”). High-risk individuals would be temporarily relocated to safe or “green zones” established at the household, neighborhood, camp/sector or community level depending on the context and setting.1,2 They would have minimal contact with family members and other low-risk residents.”

The CDC’s document guidelines are based on two papers published in 2020 titled, “Guidance for the prevention of COVID-19 infections among high-risk individuals in camps and camp-like settings,” and COVID-19 control in low-income settings and displaced populations: what can realistically be done?
Both were published by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine – a heavily Gates and Melinda Foundation funded and influenced organization.
The CDC document also contains a subsection titled, “Timeline Considerations,” which sets up a plan for an “extended duration of implementation time, at least 6 months.”
The explanation provided for this extended duration is as follows:
“Explanation: The shielding approach proposes that green zones be maintained until one of the following circumstances arises: (i) sufficient hospitalization capacity is established; (ii) effective vaccine or therapeutic options become widely available; or (iii) the COVID-19 epidemic affecting the population subsides.

activistpost--2020-11-07--Open Letter to the U.N. Seeking Advocacy, Education, Regulation of 5G and Other EMF Sources of Radia

Open Letter to the U.N. Seeking Advocacy, Education, Regulation of 5G and Other EMF Sources of Radiation

Cities AND entire countries have taken action to ban , delay , halt , and limit 5G installation AS WELL AS issue moratoriums on deployment .
The majority of scientists worldwide oppose 5G until there are studies that show it ’ s safe .
Doctors and scientists have asked for moratoriums on Earth and in space ( see 1 , 2 ) .
43 organizations sent a joint letter to the European Commission asking them to stop 5G deployment and offer safer technology instead .
American opposition includes federal agencies and credible experts who warn 5G threatens jobs , national @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forecasting accuracy ( see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ) .
Since 2018 there have been reports of people and animals experiencing symptoms and illnesses after 5G was installed ( see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ) .
Of course exposure risks ARE NOT isolated to 5G .
Last year , the World Health Organization warned that high levels of Electromagnetic Fields ( aka “ Electrosmog ” ) could cause health issues in a significant percentage of the population .
The Stop 5G International organization is asking the U.N. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights covers a wide array of issues and may prove useful in informing public officials of the numerous largely unaddressed harms of 5G .
The letter presents the many and multifaceted reasons for worldwide mounting resistance to 5G .
These include impacts on health , wildlife , privacy , self-sovereignty , cyber security , e-footprint from energy consumption and e-waste , conflict minerals , Electromagnetic Sensitivity , harsh worker conditions , psycho-social effects , unquantified public subsidies , and liability .
Problems from satellites include @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with weather prediction and astronomical research , space debris and likely collisions , depletion of the ozone layer , loss of enjoyment of the night skies , interference with wildlife navigation and orientation , dangers posed from solar flares , ever more radiation emissions , and the , as yet unstudied effects on planetary life .
All to the backdrop of no public consultation or consent .
The letter also explains that not all technology is created equal .
Although the telecom industry is promoting 5G to “ bridge the digital divide ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as they are safer , faster , more reliable , energy efficient , and cyber secure than wireless .
Furthermore , a primarily wired tech future not only better preserves public health and privacy , it addresses other human rights violations and environmental problems brought on by 5G .
Wired does not lend itself to connecting every “ thing ” , moment in time , and point in space to the internet , thus automatically reducing e-waste , tech addiction , data-harvesting , tracking , mandatory exposure to wireless radiation , EMF refugees @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need ” for satellites .
The letter calls for advocacy , education , regulation , and less radiation .
A move toward wired technology for all as a fundamental human right in today ’ s world .
Public education about technology , including full disclosure of the health and environmental costs of a hyper-connected , predominantly wireless world , and the benefits of safer wired choices .
Greater regulation of industry on the placement of wireless infrastructure , and its use only where deemed an “ essential service ” not possible with wired @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organizations providing more protective RF guidelines that take into account : duration of exposure , distance from source , aggregate exposures , and the unique characteristics of every life form that will be impacted .
Infrastructure choices returned to local communities as they know what is best for their citizens .
Incentives given to industry to provide safer technology .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ achievable , safer and more secure with a wired internet connection ( see 1 , 2 , 3 ) NOT 5G or WiFi .
If the U.N. won ’ t protect us from Big Telecom – how can we depend on them to protect us from anything ?

These include impacts on health, wildlife, privacy, self-sovereignty, cyber security, e-footprint from energy consumption and e-waste, conflict minerals, Electromagnetic Sensitivity, harsh worker conditions, psycho-social effects, unquantified public subsidies, and liability.
Problems from satellites include increased endangerment of global security, interference with weather prediction and astronomical research, space debris and likely collisions, depletion of the ozone layer, loss of enjoyment of the night skies, interference with wildlife navigation and orientation, dangers posed from solar flares, ever more radiation emissions, and the, as yet unstudied effects on planetary life.
All to the backdrop of no public consultation or consent.
The letter also explains that not all technology is created equal. Although the telecom industry is promoting 5G to “bridge the digital divide”, wired connections would be far superior as they are safer, faster, more reliable, energy efficient, and cyber secure than wireless.
Furthermore, a primarily wired tech future not only better preserves public health and privacy, it addresses other human rights violations and environmental problems brought on by 5G. Wired does not lend itself to connecting every “thing”, moment in time, and point in space to the internet, thus automatically reducing e-waste, tech addiction, data-harvesting, tracking, mandatory exposure to wireless radiation, EMF refugees, property devaluation, and the “need” for satellites.
The letter calls for advocacy, education, regulation, and less radiation.
A move toward wired technology for all as a fundamental human right in today’s world.
Public education about technology, including full disclosure of the health and environmental costs of a hyper-connected, predominantly wireless world, and the benefits of safer wired choices.
Greater regulation of industry on the placement of wireless infrastructure, and its use only where deemed an “essential service” not possible with wired connections.
Standard setting bodies and health organizations providing more protective RF guidelines that take into account: duration of exposure, distance from source, aggregate exposures, and the unique characteristics of every life form that will be impacted.
Infrastructure choices returned to local communities as they know what is best for their citizens.
Incentives given to industry to provide safer technology.

High-speed internet is achievable, safer and more secure with a wired internet connection (see 1, 2, 3) NOT 5G or WiFi. If the U.N. won’t protect us from Big Telecom – how can we depend on them to protect us from anything?

activistpost--2020-11-07--No Matter How the Ballots are Counted, the American Police State Will Continue

The American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us .
Yet no matter who wins this presidential election , you can rest assured that the new boss will be the same as the old boss , and we—the permanent underclass in America—will continue to be forced to march in lockstep with the police state in all matters , public and private .
Indeed , it really doesn ’ t matter what you call them—the Deep State , the 1 % , the elite , the controllers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the police state , the surveillance state , the military industrial complex—so long as you understand that no matter which party occupies the White House in 2021 , the unelected bureaucracy that actually calls the shots will continue to do so .
In the interest of liberty and truth , here are a few hard truths about life in the American police state that will persist no matter who wins the 2020 presidential election .
Indeed , these issues persisted—and in many cases flourished—under both Republican and Democratic administrations in recent years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to federal grant programs allowing the Pentagon to transfer surplus military supplies and weapons to local law enforcement agencies without charge , police forces will continue to be transformed from peace officers to heavily armed extensions of the military , complete with jackboots , helmets , shields , batons , pepper-spray , stun guns , assault rifles , body armor , miniature tanks and weaponized drones .
“ Today , 17,000 local police forces are equipped with such military equipment as Blackhawk helicopters , machine guns , grenade launchers , battering rams , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , night vision , rappelling gear and armored vehicles , ” stated Paul Craig Roberts , former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury .
“ Some have tanks.
” Overcriminalization will continue .
In the face of a government bureaucracy consumed with churning out laws , statutes , codes and regulations that reinforce its powers and value systems and those of the police state and its corporate allies , we will all continue to be viewed as petty criminals , guilty of violating some minor law .
Thanks to an overabundance of 4,500-plus federal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is estimated that the average American actually commits three felonies a day without knowing it .
In fact , according to law professor John Baker , “ There is no one in the United States over the age of 18 who can not be indicted for some federal crime.
” Consequently , we now find ourselves operating in a strange new world where small farmers who dare to make unpasteurized goat cheese and share it with members of their community are finding their farms raided , while home gardeners face jail time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of orchids without having completed sufficient paperwork .
This frightening state of affairs—where a person can actually be arrested and incarcerated for the most innocent and inane activities , including feeding a whale and collecting rainwater on their own property—is due to what law scholars refer to as overcriminalization .
Jailing Americans for profit will continue .
At one time , the American penal system operated under the idea that dangerous criminals needed to be put under lock and key in order to protect society .
Today , as states attempt to save @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , imprisoning Americans in private prisons run by mega-corporations has turned into a cash cow for big business .
In exchange for corporations buying and managing public prisons across the country at a supposed savings to the states , the states have to agree to maintain a 90 % occupancy rate in the privately run prisons for at least 20 years .
Such a scheme simply encourages incarceration for the sake of profits , while causing millions of Americans , most of them minor , nonviolent criminals , to be handed over to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nothing to protect society or prevent recidivism .
Thus , although the number of violent crimes in the country is down substantially , the number of Americans being jailed for nonviolent crimes such as driving with a suspended license is skyrocketing .
Poverty will continue .
Despite the fact that we have 46 million Americans living at or below the poverty line , 16 million children living in households without adequate access to food , and at least 900,000 veterans relying on food stamps ( mind you , these are pre-COVID numbers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic ) , enormous sums continue to be doled out for presidential excursions ( taxpayers have been forced to pay at least $ 100 million so that Donald Trump could visit his golf clubs and private properties more than 500 times during his four years in office ) .
Endless wars that enrich the military industrial complex will continue .
Having been co-opted by greedy defense contractors , corrupt politicians and incompetent government officials , America ’ s expanding military empire is bleeding the country dry at a rate of more than $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20 million an hour ) —and that ’ s just what the government spends on foreign wars .
That does not include the cost of maintaining and staffing the 1000-plus U.S. military bases spread around the globe .
Incredibly , although the U.S. constitutes only 5 % of the world ’ s population , America boasts almost 50 % of the world ’ s total military expenditure , spending more on the military than the next 19 biggest spending nations combined .
In fact , the Pentagon spends more on war than all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ education , welfare , and safety .
Yet what most Americans fail to recognize is that these ongoing wars have little to do with keeping the country safe and everything to do with enriching the military industrial complex at taxpayer expense .
Consider that since 2001 , Americans have spent $ 10.5 million every hour for numerous foreign military occupations , including in Iraq and Afghanistan .
Police shootings of unarmed Americans will continue .
No matter what our party politics , race , religion , or any other distinction used to divide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ becomes the government ’ s calling card .
Remember , in a police state , you ’ re either the one with your hand on the trigger or you ’ re staring down the barrel of a loaded gun .
At least 400 to 500 innocent people are killed by police officers every year .
Indeed , Americans are now eight times more likely to die in a police confrontation than they are to be killed by a terrorist .
Americans are 110 times more likely to die of foodborne illness than in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more likely to be struck by lightning than be made financially liable for their wrongdoing .
As a result , Americans are largely powerless in the face of militarized police .
SWAT team raids will continue .
More than 80,000 SWAT team raids are carried out every year on unsuspecting Americans for relatively routine police matters .
Nationwide , SWAT teams have been employed to address an astonishingly trivial array of criminal activity or mere community nuisances including angry dogs , domestic disputes , improper paperwork filed by an orchid farmer , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brief sampling .
On an average day in America , over 100 Americans have their homes raided by SWAT teams .
There has been a notable buildup in recent years of SWAT teams within non-security-related federal agencies such as the Department of Agriculture , the Railroad Retirement Board , the Tennessee Valley Authority , the Office of Personnel Management , the Consumer Product Safety Commission , the U.S .
Fish and Wildlife Service , and the Education Department .
The government ’ s war on the American people will continue .
“ We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the rule of law .
While the First Amendment—which gives us a voice—is being muzzled , the Fourth Amendment—which protects us from being bullied , badgered , beaten , broken and spied on by government agents—is being disemboweled .
Consequently , you no longer have to be poor , black or guilty to be treated like a criminal in America .
All that is required is that you belong to the suspect class—that is , the citizenry—of the American police state .
As a de facto member of this so-called criminal class @ @ @ @ @ @ @ until proven innocent .
The oppression and injustice—be it in the form of shootings , surveillance , fines , asset forfeiture , prison terms , roadside searches , and so on—will come to all of us eventually unless we do something to stop it now .
Government corruption will continue .
The government is not our friend .
Nor does it work for “ we the people.
” Americans instinctively understand this .
When asked to name the greatest problem facing the nation , Americans of all political stripes ranked the government as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , almost eight out of ten Americans believe that government corruption is widespread .
Our so-called government representatives do not actually represent us , the citizenry .
We are now ruled by an oligarchic elite of governmental and corporate interests whose main interest is in perpetuating power and control .
Congress is dominated by a majority of millionaires who are , on average , fourteen times wealthier than the average American .
The rise of the surveillance state will continue .
Government eyes are watching you .
They see your every move : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spend , where you go , with whom you interact , when you wake up in the morning , what you ’ re watching on television and reading on the internet .
Every move you make is being monitored , mined for data , crunched , and tabulated in order to form a picture of who you are , what makes you tick , and how best to control you when and if it becomes necessary to bring you in line .
Police have been outfitted with a litany of surveillance gear , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tracking devices to biometric data recorders .
Technology now makes it possible for the police to scan passersby in order to detect the contents of their pockets , purses , briefcases , etc .
Full-body scanners , which perform virtual strip-searches of Americans traveling by plane , have gone mobile , with roving police vans that peer into vehicles and buildings alike—including homes .
Coupled with the nation ’ s growing network of real-time surveillance cameras and facial recognition software , soon there really will be nowhere to run and nowhere to hide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will continue .
Due in large part to rapid advances in technology and a heightened surveillance culture , the burden of proof has been shifted so that the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty has been usurped by a new norm in which all citizens are suspects .
This is exemplified by police practices of stopping and frisking people who are merely walking down the street and where there is no evidence of wrongdoing .
Making matters worse are Terrorism Liaison Officers ( firefighters , police officers , and even corporate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spy on their fellow citizens and report “ suspicious activity , ” which includes taking pictures with no apparent aesthetic value , making measurements and drawings , taking notes , conversing in code , espousing radical beliefs and buying items in bulk .
TLOs report back to “ fusion centers , ” which are a driving force behind the government ’ s quest to collect , analyze , and disseminate information on American citizens .
Government tyranny under the reign of an Imperial President will continue .
The Constitution invests the President with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ serve as Commander in Chief of the military , grant pardons , make treaties ( with the approval of Congress ) , appoint ambassadors and federal judges ( again with Congress ’ blessing ) , and veto legislation .
In recent years , however , American presidents have anointed themselves with the power to wage war , unilaterally kill Americans , torture prisoners , strip citizens of their rights , arrest and detain citizens indefinitely , carry out warrantless spying on Americans , and erect their own secretive , shadow government .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inherited by each successive president—powers which add up to a toolbox of terror for an imperial ruler—empower whomever occupies the Oval Office to act as a dictator , above the law and beyond any real accountability .
The grim reality we must come to terms with is the fact that the government does whatever it wants , freedom be damned .
More than terrorism , more than domestic extremism , more than gun violence and organized crime , the U.S. government has become a greater menace to the life , liberty and property @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so-called dangers from which the government claims to protect us .
This state of affairs has become the status quo , no matter which party is in power .
The government ’ s manipulation of national crises in order to expand its powers will continue .
“ We the people ” have been the subjected to an “ emergency state ” that justifies all manner of government tyranny and power grabs in the so-called name of national security .
Whatever the so-called threat to the nation—whether it ’ s civil unrest , school @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or the threat of a global pandemic in the case of COVID-19—the government has a tendency to capitalize on the nation ’ s heightened emotions , confusion and fear as a means of extending the reach of the police state .
Indeed , the government ’ s answer to every problem continues to be more government—at taxpayer expense—and less individual liberty .
The bottom line is this : nothing taking place on Election Day will alleviate the suffering of the American people .
Unless we do something more than vote , the government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , bloated and controlled by big-money corporations , lobbyists and special interest groups—will remain unchanged .
And “ we the people ” —overtaxed , overpoliced , overburdened by big government , underrepresented by those who should speak for us and blissfully ignorant of the prison walls closing in on us—will continue to trudge along a path of misery .
As I point out in my book Battlefield America : The War on the American People , these problems will continue to plague our nation unless and until Americans wake up to the fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who can change things for the better and then do something about it .
If there is to be any hope of restoring our freedoms and reclaiming control over our government , it will rest not with the politicians but with the people themselves .

In the interest of liberty and truth, here are a few hard truths about life in the American police state that will persist no matter who wins the 2020 presidential election. Indeed, these issues persisted—and in many cases flourished—under both Republican and Democratic administrations in recent years.
Police militarization will continue. Thanks to federal grant programs allowing the Pentagon to transfer surplus military supplies and weapons to local law enforcement agencies without charge, police forces will continue to be transformed from peace officers to heavily armed extensions of the military, complete with jackboots, helmets, shields, batons, pepper-spray, stun guns, assault rifles, body armor, miniature tanks and weaponized drones. “Today, 17,000 local police forces are equipped with such military equipment as Blackhawk helicopters, machine guns, grenade launchers, battering rams, explosives, chemical sprays, body armor, night vision, rappelling gear and armored vehicles,” stated Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. “Some have tanks.”

After all, Indeed, the Constitution opens with those three vital words, “We the people.”
What the founders wanted us to understand is that we are the government.
There is no government without us—our sheer numbers, our muscle, our economy, our physical presence in this land. There can also be no police state—no tyranny—no routine violations of our rights without our complicity and collusion—without our turning a blind eye, shrugging our shoulders, allowing ourselves to be distracted and our civic awareness diluted.
No matter which candidate wins this election, the citizenry and those who represent us need to be held accountable to this powerful truth.

activistpost--2020-11-07--Heavily Armed Men Arrested After Bomb Threat On Polls At Convention Center

Two men were arrested with weapons outside of the Philadelphia convention center , where the deciding votes for the 2020 presidential election are currently being tallied .
The arrests came within hours of two bomb threats , after police had received a tip about a group coming from Virginia with plans to “ attack the Convention Center.
” Philadelphia police said that security in the Fashion District mall received two calls from the same individual saying that a bomb was going to go off .
The mall near the Convention Center was evacuated and trains in the nearby area were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
No bomb was found , but in their search , they found a group of men from Virginia , who reportedly drove to Philadelphia with the intention of “ sorting things out ” with the vote counting .
Police have not said whether or not these men were connected with the threat that was called in .
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said that police spotted a silver Hummer SUV with Virginia tags parked near the building while they were on high alert after the threat .
Police then arrested two armed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , after “ an initial investigation determined that neither had a valid Pennsylvania firearms permit to carry.
” The men did have permits and licenses to own and carry the guns in their home state of Virginia , but Pennsylvania police do not recognize Virginia permits .
Police confiscated two semi-automatic pistols , an AR-15-style rifle , and ammunition , Krasner said .
“ We will be requesting that both be held without eligibility for bail when they are arraigned later this evening , as this alarming incident is still very much under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that the pair are not known to be connected to any extremist groups .
“ We do not have indications that the story is bigger than these two individuals , ” he said .
According to the suspects ’ social media profiles , they were devout followers of Donald Trump and believers in “ Q ” conspiracy theories .
On his Facebook page , Lamotta posted about being part of a “ positive military operation ” and suggested a judgment day was fast-approaching .
Macias recently made posts on Facebook about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which was banned from the website on Thursday over repeated calls for violence from its members .

Two men were arrested with weapons outside of the Philadelphia convention center, where the deciding votes for the 2020 presidential election are currently being tallied. The arrests came within hours of two bomb threats, after police had received a tip about a group coming from Virginia with plans to “attack the Convention Center.”
Philadelphia police said that security in the Fashion District mall received two calls from the same individual saying that a bomb was going to go off.
The mall near the Convention Center was evacuated and trains in the nearby area were stopped, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. No bomb was found, but in their search, they found a group of men from Virginia, who reportedly drove to Philadelphia with the intention of “sorting things out” with the vote counting. Police have not said whether or not these men were connected with the threat that was called in.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said that police spotted a silver Hummer SUV with Virginia tags parked near the building while they were on high alert after the threat. Police then arrested two armed men, Joshua Macias and Antonio Lamatta, after “an initial investigation determined that neither had a valid Pennsylvania firearms permit to carry.”
The men did have permits and licenses to own and carry the guns in their home state of Virginia, but Pennsylvania police do not recognize Virginia permits.
Police confiscated two semi-automatic pistols, an AR-15-style rifle, and ammunition, Krasner said.
“We will be requesting that both be held without eligibility for bail when they are arraigned later this evening, as this alarming incident is still very much under investigation,” Krasner said.
Krasner said that the pair are not known to be connected to any extremist groups.
“We do not have indications that the story is bigger than these two individuals,” he said.
According to the suspects’ social media profiles, they were devout followers of Donald Trump and believers in “Q” conspiracy theories. On his Facebook page, Lamotta posted about being part of a “positive military operation” and suggested a judgment day was fast-approaching. Macias recently made posts on Facebook about the “Stop the Steal” campaign, which was banned from the website on Thursday over repeated calls for violence from its members.
On Thursday, Macias posted a video to Facebook showing him outside the Convention Center talking about why he traveled to Philadelphia from his home state of Virginia.
“We are in a fight for America as we know it. We’re not going to give up our freedoms,” he said, adding that he was there to make sure that the “legitimate” votes were counted.
At this time, authorities are unsure what these men were planning, but the FBI and Philadelphia Police are investigating the incident.
The suspects are due back in court on Friday or Saturday.
Inside the Convention Center, poll workers continue to count the final ballots. Meanwhile, protesters supporting both candidates have gathered outside, where they are separated by barricades, chanting at one another.

As with the first set of lockdowns in the spring, the restrictions meant to curb the renewed spread of Covid-19 in Europe are happening fast and all at once.
Spain and France, where a second wave of infections spread from mid-July, led the way by imposing local lockdowns from early and mid-October, respectively. While France announced a national lockdown to start Friday, Spain’s local solution now includes several major provinces.
Germany is following these cues to lock down the country starting Nov. 2 (opting for the national route), and as Statista’s Katharina Buchholz notes, several other European countries followed suit this week – among them Poland, which explicitly does not call its new measures a lockdown while still applying all the hallmark restrictions from restaurant and school closures to cancelling cultural and other events, limiting the number of groups that can meet to five, restricting hotel access and urging people not to travel around the country.
Several more countries have introduced curfews to harness the spread of the coronavirus, forbidding their citizens to move around during night hours without a good reason. Spain is imposing this measure nationwide in addition to local lockdowns. Italy recently started to employ a similar approach while adding early closing of restaurants into the mix. Still, opposition to the measures has been fierce in both countries. National curfews are also in place in Slovenia, Slovakia, Cyprus and Hungary, where all bars and restaurants are closed.
As with the first wave of lockdowns, enforcement varies significantly between countries, with Germany merely urging residents to stay at home, while more stringent checks are customary in Spain and France. Unlike the first time around, several governments imposing restrictions have said that they are expecting to ease them again rather soon, starting in early December.
We won’t hold our breath.
