Despite expert warnings and opposition, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) has approved tens of thousands of satellites, loons, and other space craft to be launched into the sky and space to blast WiFi and 5G back down at us (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 6, 7). On Wednesday, SpaceX launched 60 more. Elon Musk promises that next month’s batch will have “sun shades” to reduce their brightness.
From DailyMail UK:
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said his company is ‘fixing’ the brightness of his ultra-bright constellation of satellites, which are disrupting the night sky for astronomers.
Stargazers have been puzzled by the unusual brightness of Musk’s satellite constellation, called Starlink, which aims to provide satellite internet access.
The brightness of the constellation is due to the angle of the solar panels as the satellites rise to orbit altitude, Musk explained.
[…]The continued launches shows Musk is not letting the pandemic hamper his company’s plans of creating an internet broadband constellation in low orbit.
At least 400 satellites are needed for SpaceX to start introducing minimal internet coverage, Musk has said, and at least 800 are necessary for moderate coverage.
The firm aims to have more than 1,000 satellites in orbit by the end of the year and has also been approved by the FCC to launch over 12,000 in total.
However, European Southern Observatory (ESO) found that satellite mega-constellations such as Starlink will ‘severely’ affect between 30 and 50 percent of observations taken by the Rubin Observatory under construction in Chile.

After Monday ’ s anti-quarantine protests at the California State Capitol building and across many other cities in the state , California ’ s Highway Patrol ( CHP ) will no longer grant permits to demonstrators on state property , reported The Sacramento Bee .

After Monday’s anti-quarantine protests at the California State Capitol building and across many other cities in the state, California’s Highway Patrol (CHP) will no longer grant permits to demonstrators on state property, reported The Sacramento Bee.
“Permits are issued to provide safe environments for demonstrators to express their views,” the CHP said in a statement. “In this case, the permit for the convoy was issued with the understanding that the protest would be conducted in a manner consistent with the state’s public health guidance.”
The decision to ban future protests on state property was in the public safety and health interests of all Californians, the CHP said, adding that it wasn’t pleased with protesters who neglected to follow Governor Gavin Newsom’s social distancing rules:
“…CHP will take this experience into account when considering permits for this or any other group.”
Protests in California were held at the capitol building in downtown Sacramento and other cities. It was a continuation of anti-lockdown demonstrations that first started in Lansing, Michigan, last Thursday, demanding Governor Gretchen Whitmer to reopen the economy.
We noted over the weekend that protests in Oregon, Idaho, Minnesota, Michigan, Florida, Virginia, and Maryland, collectively drew thousands of people demanding state governments reopen their economies.
Then on Monday, a military truck with the “Pennsylvania Militia” rolled up to the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, demanding the state government reopen the economy.
All of these protests, including the ones in California, have been dubbed “Operation Gridlock.”
While some claim the Lansing protest last week were of “grassroots” origins, it appears the demonstrations were “funded in large part by the DeVos family,” Whitmer said while referring to Betsy DeVos, secretary of the US Department of Education.
Footage from Monday’s protest in California shows pro-Trump crowds not abiding by social distancing rules nor wearing protective masks to mitigate the virus spread. That is what angered CHP:
Newsom told residents on Saturday that he won’t be swayed by protests in across the state:
“We are going to do the right thing, not judge by politics, not judge by protests, but by science,” Newsom told the Los Angeles Times.
The California ban of protests on state property will certainly outrage Republicans who feel their freedoms have been evaporated under mass quarantines. All of this is creating an environment for social unrest as warmer weather trends are ahead.

On Monday, I was on the Tom Woods show to discuss the nullification movement in light of the fact that 2020 will be the 10-year anniversary of the publication of Tom’s great book, Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century.
From the show notes:
It’s been ten years since my book Nullification was published, so it’s an appropriate moment for a retrospective on how during that time the states have pushed back against various federal intrusions. The Tenth Amendment Center’s Michael Boldin joins me.

Alarming reports from Reuters indicate food bank networks are quickly running out of staple goods as 26 million people in five weeks are out of work, broke and hungry, as an economic depression could result in social decay.
There’s nothing complicated about our analysis, but rather common sense, as a crashed economy and high unemployment could unleash a “social bomb.” Earlier this week, the “Pennsylvania Militia” rolled up to the state capitol building in Harrisburg in a military truck, packed with men wearing bulletproof vests and wielding rifles and shotguns, demanded the state government reopen the economy after it has led to widespread unemployment.
In the last four weeks, we have reported food banks across Pennsylvania have experienced unprecedented demand as hungry families wait in mile-long traffic jams outside of these facilities for care packages. And as we’ve explained, food banks are becoming stressed across the country.

Reuters reports that the El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank, located in El Paso, Texas, has started to ration certain staple goods as product shortages develop.
“We really have no dry goods,” said Bonnie Escobar, chief development officer of El Pasoans Fighting Hunger.
The same story is being shared in New York City as more than a third of the city’s food banks have shuttered operations because of the lack of goods. San Diego, Chicago, and Houston are other cities that have reported dwindling supplies at food banks.
Feeding America told Reuters that 1 in 7 Americans relied on food banks before the pandemic. Now demand has surged to “doubled or tripled at many organizations.”
With food banks running out of staple goods – US farmers are culling pigs, dumping dairy products, and breaking eggs as supply chains implode amid lockdowns and economic turmoil.
“And yet farmers are destroying produce, dumping milk and culling livestock because the pandemic has upended supply chains, making it impossible for many to get crops to market. Grocery stores struggle to stock shelves because suppliers can’t adjust to the sudden shift of demand away from shuttered restaurants to retailers, which requires different packaging and distribution networks,” Reuters said.

Feeding America said US food banks before the pandemic relied on grocery stores for about a third of fresh food and dry goods. Nearly a quarter of meats and cheese came from government programs, and the rest were donations and purchases made by the charities.
However, grocery stores have been donating fewer products to food banks during the pandemic as their shelves have gone bare. Rapid food inflation has not helped as well, as it costs more money for food banks to purchase goods. A Nebraska food bank is set to spend upwards of $1 million on food for April, compared to regular times of around $70,000.
“This is not an anomaly” across the region, said Angie Grote, a spokesperson for Omaha’s Food Bank for the Heartland, which operates facilities that serve 93 counties in Nebraska and Western Iowa.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue told Fox Business last week that President Trump wants to start purchasing excess products from farmers to supply food banks and prevent a hunger crisis. Though the gap to fill a shortage could be too late.

Greg Trotter, a spokesman for the Chicago food bank, said some products are unavailable to restock and could take months for delivery.
“Food manufacturers have struggled to keep up with demand” from grocery consumers, Trotter said, “and are therefore selling less food directly to food banks.”
As food shortages develop, the San Diego Food Bank reports the number of people it fed over the last month has nearly doubled to 600,000. A similar demand surge was also reported across Fresno’s Central California Food Bank. The state’s food disruptors have seen demand collapse with restaurant closures, as the ability to deliver bulk products has come to a standstill.

“We don’t have the ability to unpack it and repack it in family size,” said Kym Dildine, the Central California Food Bank’s chief administrative officer.
Monica White, CEO of Food Share of Ventura County, said her food bank had to reject bulk produce due to repackaging issues.
“It’s like asking Tesla to start building gas cars,” White said.
Some farmers in the state have resorted to destroying crops as restaurant demand has collapsed, and food banks cannot accept bulk.
But there is a glimmer of hope; the San Diego food bank has ordered a half-million-dollar machine to repackage bulk supplies of staples. But, in the meantime, that will not cure current food shortages.
The “new normal” in an economic depression is where 40% of residents in San Diego have turned to food banks. The one thing the government can’t afford is a food shortage that triggers a bunch of hangry people with no jobs. The clock is ticking.

activistpost--2020-04-25--Prosecutions Mount as Russia Intensifies Fight Against COVID19 “Fake News”

Russia is once again at the heart of an international “ fake news ” scandal .
Since February , some media have accused Moscow of unleashing a coronavirus disinformation campaign .
This claim was repeated in an internal document drafted by the EU ’ s foreign policy arm on March 18 .
Amid these headlines , it ’ s easy to miss that the Russian government is also fighting a war against disinformation of its own — and its definition of “ fake news ” is very much in the eye of the beholder .
At the time of writing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Map , there are over 68,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in Russia .
The country is under strict quarantine measures .
But for several weeks , Russia was an outlier , and recorded significantly lower deaths than other large countries and an unusually low rate of infections despite its comparatively large testing drive .
There has been much speculation over this data , much of it focusing on the effectiveness of Russia ’ s testing equipment .
As late as March 21 , the country only reported 306 confirmed cases — as hospitals started @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of pneumonia .
“ I have a feeling they are lying to us , ” exclaimed Anastasia Vasilyeva , head of the country ’ s medical union .
As the pandemic intensified in Russia , some citizens started to doubt the official figures .
It appears to have been this tendency which led President Vladimir Putin to state on March 4 that claims of thousands of cases in Russia were “ fakes ” which most likely came “ from abroad , ” intended to sow panic among the population .
Disputes over the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the centre of the first high-profile “ fake news ” row during Russia ’ s epidemic .
On March 20 , independent radio station Ekho Moskvy removed the transcript and recording of a conversation with political scientist Valery Solovey from its website .
The demand came from Roskomnadzor , the Russian state media watchdog , which on March 18 had threatened to remove Russian news outlets ’ licences or block their websites if they published “ fakes ” about the coronavirus .
Roskomnadzor explained that it had to “ remove inaccurate socially significant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public order , ” but did not specify the offending content in Ekho Moskvy ’ s broadcast .
It is now believed that what irked the authorities had been Solovey ’ s estimation that the coronavirus had already claimed 1,600 lives in Russia , and comparison of the Kremlin ’ s handling of the crisis to the Soviet Union ’ s response to the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster .
At the same time , an online publication in Magadan also fell afoul of Roskomnadzor .
On March 20 , Govorit Magadan was threatened @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an article claiming that a man with a suspected coronavirus infection had died in the city in Russia ’ s Far East .

Russia is once again at the heart of an international “fake news” scandal. Since February, some media have accused Moscow of unleashing a coronavirus disinformation campaign. This claim was repeated in an internal document drafted by the EU’s foreign policy arm on March 18.
Amid these headlines, it’s easy to miss that the Russian government is also fighting a war against disinformation of its own — and its definition of “fake news” is very much in the eye of the beholder.
At the time of writing, according to the Johns Hopkins University Map, there are over 68,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in Russia. The country is under strict quarantine measures. But for several weeks, Russia was an outlier, and recorded significantly lower deaths than other large countries and an unusually low rate of infections despite its comparatively large testing drive. There has been much speculation over this data, much of it focusing on the effectiveness of Russia’s testing equipment. As late as March 21, the country only reported 306 confirmed cases — as hospitals started to fill up with unusually severe cases of pneumonia. “I have a feeling they are lying to us,” exclaimed Anastasia Vasilyeva, head of the country’s medical union.
As the pandemic intensified in Russia, some citizens started to doubt the official figures. It appears to have been this tendency which led President Vladimir Putin to state on March 4 that claims of thousands of cases in Russia were “fakes” which most likely came “from abroad,” intended to sow panic among the population.
Disputes over the probable number of cases appear were at the centre of the first high-profile “fake news” row during Russia’s epidemic. On March 20, independent radio station Ekho Moskvy removed the transcript and recording of a conversation with political scientist Valery Solovey from its website. The demand came from Roskomnadzor, the Russian state media watchdog, which on March 18 had threatened to remove Russian news outlets’ licences or block their websites if they published “fakes” about the coronavirus. Roskomnadzor explained that it had to “remove inaccurate socially significant information which posed a massive disruption of public order,” but did not specify the offending content in Ekho Moskvy’s broadcast. It is now believed that what irked the authorities had been Solovey’s estimation that the coronavirus had already claimed 1,600 lives in Russia, and comparison of the Kremlin’s handling of the crisis to the Soviet Union’s response to the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
At the same time, an online publication in Magadan also fell afoul of Roskomnadzor. On March 20, Govorit Magadan was threatened with a large fine in connection with an article claiming that a man with a suspected coronavirus infection had died in the city in Russia’s Far East. Although the man’s infection was never confirmed, the publication defended its reporting; as an editor told state media outlet RIA Novosti: “either the patient wasn’t in hospital, either he wasn’t suspected of having the coronavirus, or he didn’t die. All these things happened.”
When the local edition of prominent national newspaper Kommersant reported that 1,000 graves had been prepared for coronavirus victims in a single cemetery in the city of Ufa, on April 12 its editors received exactly the same call — Roskomnadzor demanded the removal of the article. And when Novaya Gazeta journalist Elena Milashina wrote a critical article about the Chechen authorities’ handling of the crisis, the Prosecutor General demanded its removal on April 16 due to inaccuracies. Milashina was later publicly threatened by Chechnya’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
It is not only publications which have fallen afoul of this trend. Several individuals in recent weeks have been accused of sharing “inaccurate socially significant information.” Or to translate from Russian legalese: ‘fake news’.
A law against fake news
A law against publishing “unreliable socially significant information disseminated under the guise of truthful messages” entered force in Russia in March 2019. The law, which was introduced alongside a controversial ban on “offending” the authorities.
The 2019 law had made fake news an administrative offence, punishable by fines. It was seldom, and inconsistently, used by prosecutors — until this March, when the number of trials under the law increased sharply.
On April 1 this year, Putin upped the stakes by signing a new law which makes sharing fake news a criminal offence. It was accompanied by another law which makes violating quarantine measures a criminal offence if doing so causes deaths. Criminal liability for sharing “fake news” could now mean a fine of up to two million rubles and prison sentences of up to five years. If disseminating “unreliable information” interferes with the operation of essential services, the perpetrator may be fined up to 400,000 rubles.
According to Stanislav Seleznev, a lawyer for the Agora International human rights NGO, one of the sticking points in the law is that authorities must prove that the culprits knew that the information was supposedly false before distributing it. This also allows the authorities to punish only one person rather than the entire chain of people who shared alleged “fake news” — imbuing it with more meaning with every share.
Seleznev and his colleagues fear that the law will have chilling effects on freedom of speech. Over the nearly three weeks since it entered force, RuNet Echo has identified at least six instances of criminal cases for spreading “fake news.”
The first criminal case was brought against St Petersburg resident Anna Shushpanova due to a post she made in the Sestroretsk Asset group on VKontakte on April 2, where she claimed that a patient at a local clinic was discovered to have mild coronavirus symptoms but was later sent home by public transport. Pavel Yasman, Shushpanova’s lawyer, told Meduza that the case is tricky given that it is impossible to prove that Shushpanova was “knowingly sharing” fake news, as she believed her source to be entirely trustworthy. Shushpanova also told Meduza that she believes the case was linked to her activism.
Nevertheless, administrative cases for “fake news” continue to be announced — law enforcement appear to prefer them, and have launched at least 12 since administrative measures for the offence were tightened on April 1. These cases also largely concern social media users who have cast doubt on official reports about the pandemic.
For example, on April 9, the police in St Petersburg launched an administrative case against Vladimir Vorontsov, administrator of a group on popular social network VKontakte called “Police Ombudsman.” Vorontsov’s offending post was a recording dated on April 2 in which Vorontsov had claimed that 70 percent of people at the FSB Institute in St Petersburg had been infected with the coronavirus. According to RBK, Vorontsov said that he had first discovered the accusation against him on the RT television network, and that VKontakte had already deleted the offending post by the time he went to look for it. More recently in Surgut, a young man was charged with an administrative offence on April 21 for disseminating fake news for arguing in a social media post that the local authorities were not within their rights to arrest non-infected people for not complying with the self-isolation regime.
It must be stressed that these charges have been brought against social media users making more dangerous claims: on April 15, a 38-year-old man from Vladikavkaz was arrested for sharing a video online calling on citizens to come out of isolation and insisting that doing so posed no threat to their health.
With COVID-19 on everybody’s minds, it is clear that the Russian authorities cannot apply the new law against every social media user with a controversial opinion about the coronavirus. They may not intend to do so; on April 15, the opposition news website MBK-Media reported on a document allegedly from the Presidential Administration advocating “demonstratively” applying the fake news law against “a few bloggers” and “a couple of media outlets.”
Thus the mounting number of “fake news” coronavirus cases, both administrative and criminal, has left some RuNet users bitter about what they see as its selective application. When the videoblogger Alexander Thorn recorded a satirical video mocking COVID-19 conspiracy theories, he faced criminal prosecution under the new law:
Друзья, на меня завели УГОЛОВНОЕ ДЕЛО за вчерашний юмористический ролик, в котором я ВЫСМЕИВАЮ теорию заговора о происхождении коронавируса из Российской лаборатории. Причина: фейк о происхождении вируса. @sledcom_rf Вы в адеквате?))) *спрятался за диван* — AlexanderThorn (@AlexanderThorn_) April 7, 2020
Friends, a CRIMINAL CASE has been brought against me for yesterday’s comedy clip in which I MOCK conspiracy theories claiming that the coronavirus originated in a Russian laboratory. The reason: fake news about the origin of the virus. @sledcom_rf [investigative committee of the Russian Federation]: are you alright in the head? *Hides behind sofa*
A stark contrast can be drawn with the appointment of Dr. Alexander Myasnikov as head of the state’s Coronavirus Information Centre. Myasnikov, who regularly appears on TV as a guest of pro-Kremlin pundit Vladimir Solovyov, made several claims in February and March that the pandemic would not enter Russia, that it was “seasonal,” and that it would have abated by mid-April. He later backtracked, claiming that he recommended waiting for herd immunity.
Доктор Александр «Русских COVID не берет» Мясников будет представителем штаба по коронавирусу. Скажите, а у вас весь штаб там такой или вы на публику самого здравомыслящего все-таки подобрали? https://t.co/RmviXk1Gk9 — Plushev (@plushev) April 15, 2020
Doctor Alexander “COVID doesn’t get Russians” Myasnikov will chair the headquarters on combating the coronavirus. Is your whole staff like that or have you just picked the one with most common sense to communicate with the public?
Among Myasnikov’s duties will be to lead the fight against coronavirus-related “fake news.”
Stay safe, stay silent
Russia is not unusual in advocating repercussions against those who spreading harmful misinformation which could harm public health. But as the number of administrative and criminal cases under the new law mounts, digital rights activists warn that it is being used particularly frequently against those who openly question the state’s account of the fight against the virus or official statistics of coronavirus cases and deaths.
For now, anybody thinking of sharing their views about the pandemic on the RuNet would do well to take into account this advice from Sarkis Darbinyan, one of the founders of Roskomsvoboda, a Russian NGO defending freedom of information online. He suggested the following, in comments to TV Rain on April 11:
Translation
Original Quote Do not publish any information which differs from official data from the operational headquarters or other government bodies. Even if supported by the words of acquaintances.
Do not make jokes about the coronavirus. Neither police nor prosecutors have a sense of humour; they can hold you accountable for any joke which does not correspond to official information.
If you still decide to joke about the coronavirus or in any way express an opinion which differs from the official line, you must add a disclaimer or hashtag which indicates this. This requirement is explained by the fact that the investigators will have to analyse not only the content of the offending message but also any user comments which suggest that the message should or should not be taken seriously.

activistpost--2020-04-25--CV-1984: China Rolls Out Test Of Digital Currency In Four Cities, Western Businesses Testing

After the coronavirus caused China to shut down most of its businesses , and cities , the country is now striking back hard by releasing a digital currency and national blockchain .
China ’ s central bank The People ’ s Bank Of China , began testing its new digital Yuan ’ s interface on April 14th with one of its largest banks , the Agricultural Bank of China , rolling out a test UI .
Two weeks later , there are reports that a pilot has been launched .
Nineteen restaurants and retail establishments including popular Western restaurant chains @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Subway are participating in the test , Bitcoin.com reported .
The test run is taking place in at least four cities in China—Shenzhen , Suzhou , Chengdu and Xiong ’ an , according to China ’ s central bank which confirmed the test of its new digital Yuan officially called “ Digital Currency Electronic Payment ( DCEP ) ” to the Wall Street Journal .
That ’ s not all , China also launched its Blockchain Service Network ( BSN ) for domestic and global commercial use .
China also announced a 71-person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from China ’ s central bank , as well as tech giants Baidu and Tencent , according to an announcement from the country ’ s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology ( MIIT . )
Last year , Max Keiser of the Keiser Report told Kitco News that China was backing the new digital Yuan with gold .
This author also had his own source from the Bank for International Settlements ( BIS ) saying much of the same for years , in which I wrote up two articles explaining the shift from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Those articles were entitled : “ A Shift Of Power : Russia and China Finalize Moves To Replace U.S. Dollar As World Reserve Currency ” and “ China Finalizes Moves On Oil Markets To Overthrow U.S. Petro-Dollar Dominance As World Reserve Currency.
” Both articles detail numerous financial moves that China has taken in the past 10 years .
One of which was buying up gold from the U.S. as a WikiLeaks cable titled “ China increases its gold reserves in order to kill two birds with one stone ” details .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when they bought JPMorgan ’ s building that previously housed its gold .
The IMF and United Nations have even expressed agreement that it ’ s time to replace the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency with what ’ s known as SDRs or special drawing rights .
Then the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank ( AIIB ) was planned between 2010-2012 , and was fully operational by 2016 .
“ China has been pushing for the SDR to become more widely used for some time , as a way to challenge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the renminbi as a direct competitor , ” Julian Evans-Pritchard , a China economist at Capital Economics in Singapore , told Reuters .
Although currently it is not known if China ’ s digital Yuan is backed by gold , it wouldn ’ t be at all surprising .
China opened up its own gold market in 2016 , an entirely separate system than the COMEX gold futures market in New York and the Over-the-Counter ( OTC ) trades cleared through the London Bullion Market .
China and Russia have both been working @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dollar since China called for a new world reserve currency as early as 2009 .
Now , the disruptive fiat digital Yuan is here and it could help China achieve their goal of replacing the U.S. dollar as the world ’ s reserve currency amid a growing economic collapse happening in the U.S. due to the coronavirus lockdown and other outlying factors like propping the economy up on fraud by deregulating banks and entities .
It is China ’ s time to shine as the petro dollar is in its last death throes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a historic move , and releasing a digital currency will force the rest of the world to follow or be left behind .
In the words of Fortune magazine , “ digitization of currency will be perhaps the most important factor in an economy ’ s success , ” and “ China is winning the digital currency battle by a long shot—and if the U.S. doesn ’ t catch up soon , it ’ s going to lose the war.
” While many see the release of the Chinese fiat cryptocurrency as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outlying effect is that such a move by China is Orwellian .
The Chinese now have a digital currency which , when it is fully rolled out , will be able to track all point-of-sale purchases .
China ’ s new digital currency couldn ’ t be further from the original foundation and purpose of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency which is freedom from centralized structures through decentralized ownership .
In other words , you control your own funds and no one can restrict them .
However , with China ’ s new recent move @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government will be able to seize digital funds or turn off a person ’ s wallet if they disobey the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP . )
This is assumable due to the Orwellian rules already in place in China with the social credit system and restrictions on traveling throughout the country by using that mechanism to silence critics of the CCP .
China isn ’ t the first country to test a Central Bank Digital Currency ( CBDC ) , a consortium of banks tested digital cash in 2016 in a Wall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t get much fanfare .
China is also not the only country developing a digital currency , the UK is developing one as well , CoinTelegraph reported .
Besides the UK , the U.S. , Russia , and India to name a few countries , are also considering launching their own CBDC , or fiat cryptocurrency .
BIS states that future is now inevitable in a PDF from January of this year compiled of research of more than 50 Central Banks polled entitled : “ Impending arrival – a sequel to the survey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poll indicates that as many as “ 80 % are engaging in some sort of work with developing digital fiat currencies , while 40 % have progressed from conceptual research to experiments , or proofs-of-concept ; and another 10 % have developed pilot projects.
” The main questions we must ask ourselves is this : do we want world governments having that much power and Orwellian control over our finances , with the ability to not only see purchases but seize wallets if you dissent and decide what you can and can ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blaring answer for most of us is , no .
In other words , buy Bitcoin .

“[China] is rolling out a cryptocurrency, a lot of the details have not been divulged. I can tell you that the cryptocurrency that China’s rolling out will be backed by gold. It’s a two-pronged announcement. Number one, China’s got 20,000 tonnes of gold, number two, we’re rolling out a crypto coin backed by gold, and the dollar is toast,” Keiser told Kitco News.
This author also had his own source from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) saying much of the same for years, in which I wrote up two articles explaining the shift from the West as the world reserve currency. Those articles were entitled: “A Shift Of Power: Russia and China Finalize Moves To Replace U.S. Dollar As World Reserve Currency” and “China Finalizes Moves On Oil Markets To Overthrow U.S. Petro-Dollar Dominance As World Reserve Currency.”
Both articles detail numerous financial moves that China has taken in the past 10 years. One of which was buying up gold from the U.S. as a WikiLeaks cable titled “China increases its gold reserves in order to kill two birds with one stone” details.
China again began stockpiling gold in 2013, when they bought JPMorgan’s building that previously housed its gold. The IMF and United Nations have even expressed agreement that it’s time to replace the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency with what’s known as SDRs or special drawing rights . Then the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) was planned between 2010-2012, and was fully operational by 2016.
“China has been pushing for the SDR to become more widely used for some time, as a way to challenge the dominance of the dollar without pushing the renminbi as a direct competitor,” Julian Evans-Pritchard, a China economist at Capital Economics in Singapore, told Reuters.
Although currently it is not known if China’s digital Yuan is backed by gold, it wouldn’t be at all surprising. China opened up its own gold market in 2016, an entirely separate system than the COMEX gold futures market in New York and the Over-the-Counter (OTC) trades cleared through the London Bullion Market. China and Russia have both been working to undermine the West and the U.S. dollar since China called for a new world reserve currency as early as 2009.
Now, the disruptive fiat digital Yuan is here and it could help China achieve their goal of replacing the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency amid a growing economic collapse happening in the U.S. due to the coronavirus lockdown and other outlying factors like propping the economy up on fraud by deregulating banks and entities. It is China’s time to shine as the petro dollar is in its last death throes with oil plunging almost -$40, a historic move, and releasing a digital currency will force the rest of the world to follow or be left behind. In the words of Fortune magazine, “digitization of currency will be perhaps the most important factor in an economy’s success,” and “China is winning the digital currency battle by a long shot—and if the U.S. doesn’t catch up soon, it’s going to lose the war.”
While many see the release of the Chinese fiat cryptocurrency as bullish for Chinese-based blockchain projects, the outlying effect is that such a move by China is Orwellian. The Chinese now have a digital currency which, when it is fully rolled out, will be able to track all point-of-sale purchases. China’s new digital currency couldn’t be further from the original foundation and purpose of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency which is freedom from centralized structures through decentralized ownership. In other words, you control your own funds and no one can restrict them. However, with China’s new recent move we can surely expect that the Chinese government will be able to seize digital funds or turn off a person’s wallet if they disobey the Chinese Communist Party (CCP.)
This is assumable due to the Orwellian rules already in place in China with the social credit system and restrictions on traveling throughout the country by using that mechanism to silence critics of the CCP.
China isn’t the first country to test a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), a consortium of banks tested digital cash in 2016 in a Wall St test run, which didn’t get much fanfare. China is also not the only country developing a digital currency, the UK is developing one as well, CoinTelegraph reported. Besides the UK, the U.S., Russia, and India to name a few countries, are also considering launching their own CBDC, or fiat cryptocurrency. BIS states that future is now inevitable in a PDF from January of this year compiled of research of more than 50 Central Banks polled entitled: “Impending arrival – a sequel to the survey on central bank digital currency.”
The poll indicates that as many as “80% are engaging in some sort of work with developing digital fiat currencies, while 40% have progressed from conceptual research to experiments, or proofs-of-concept; and another 10% have developed pilot projects.”
The main questions we must ask ourselves is this: do we want world governments having that much power and Orwellian control over our finances, with the ability to not only see purchases but seize wallets if you dissent and decide what you can and can’t purchase? I think the obvious blaring answer for most of us is, no. In other words, buy Bitcoin.

Are People and Animals More Vulnerable to Covid-19 than “Microwave Sickness” and Electromagnetic Sensitivity?

American Embassy workers in China and Cuba aren ’ t the only ones who have suffered from RF exposure .
Otherwise , the World Health Organization ( WHO ) wouldn ’ t have been recommending that we ALL reduce our exposure to cell phone radiation since 2011 .
In fact , exposure to all sources of Electromagnetic Radiation ( aka “ Electrosmog ” ) is unhealthy for humans as well as animals , insects , and plants .
Some health experts have warned since before 2011 that we should be reducing our exposure to it because it can cause “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for “ The Flu ” .
It can also cause Electromagnetic Sensitivity ( see 1 , 2 ) – a medically recognized disability ( see 1 , 2 ) .
Electrical hypersensitivity ( EHS ) is becoming more widespread Symptoms of EHS , a recently identified condition , include fatigue , facial irritation ( resembling rosacea ) , tinnitus , dizziness , and digestive disturbances , which occur after exposure to visual display units , mobile phones , WiFi equipment , and commonplace appliances .
Experts say up to 3 % of all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as one-third of us to a lesser degree .
As many as 1/3 of us are sensitive to a lesser degree than clinically hypersensitive ?
!
OMG !
Doesn ’ t that sound like a pandemic in the making ?
!
Pandemic or not – it certainly sounds like we have more to worry about than increasing our cancer risk ( see 1 , 2 ) .

It can also cause Electromagnetic Sensitivity (see 1, 2) – a medically recognized disability (see 1, 2).
From NBCNews.com (2010):

Pandemic or not – it certainly sounds like we have more to worry about than increasing our cancer risk (see 1, 2). A LOT MORE! 5G, Bluetooth, cell phone radiation and WiFi can increase our vulnerability to illnesses. It can compromise respiratory health. It can disrupt and weaken the blood-brain barrier (see 1, 2, 3. 4. 5). It can cause heart problems. It can cause blood sugar fluctuations. It can irritate the skin in unattractive and painful ways. The list goes on and on with symptoms and illnesses caused and/or aggravated by ALL sources of “Electrosmog” (see 1, 2, 3). Exposure can even lead to early death.
While health experts and government officials continue to hyper-focus on everybody’s vulnerability to the coronavirus by locking us down to “protect” us – don’t you wish they would also hyper-focus on our vulnerability to being exposed to “Electrosmog”?

Last week we identified a potential rent strike brewing among the working poor in New York City. Many of these folks are planning to skip out on May 01’s rent payment to their landlords:
“With so many New Yorkers unable to pay rent for the foreseeable future, the current crisis is unsustainable and demands action,” Housing Justice for All and New York Communities for Change said in a recent statement. “Many tenants have no ability to pay rent, and landlords can’t collect rent from tenants who are broke.”
Lena Melendez, a rent strike activist, said landlords “have gotten taken care of” by the government, suggesting that poor people who are quarantined in their apartments or homes do not need to pay rent because they have no money.
And of course, the virus pandemic, triggering mass quarantines and economic depression, has exposed America’s second housing crisis. We recently noted that as many as 30% of Americans with home loans – about 15 million households – could stop paying if lockdowns continued through summer.
What’s more important at the moment is that landlords expecting May’s rent next week could be for a rude awakening. Mostly because “rent strike” searches across the internet have exploded in April.
Many of the searches surged in Oregon, New York, Washington, Colorado, and Vermont.
When it comes to subregions, Monterey-Salinas, California; Boise, Idaho; Lansing, Michigan; Savannah, Georgia; and Lexington, Kentucky, saw increased “rent strike” searches over the month.
And so it begins? Rent strikes across America? Or maybe at least starting in New York City first?
