Time is fast running out to get justice for Julian Assange. The court hearing for his extradition to the United States continues in earnest on 7 September 2020 in the United Kingdom. The ongoing campaign to free the WikiLeaks founder has ramped up in recent weeks.
WikiLeaks was launched in 2006. It has published leaked and classified information from the U.S. government and other sources. Major instances include the Afghanistan and Iraq War Logs, and Cablegate. Assange collaborated with US Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning on these leaks.
Eight years ago Assange sought asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and was imprisoned in the United Kingdom’s Belmarsh Prison for breaching bail. The extradition case relates to indictments for conspiracy to commit computer intrusion and espionage. He has been accused by the American government of putting lives at risk.
One hundred and sixty-nine journalists and academics recently sent a letter to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson calling on him to bring an end to the proceeding. It followed a fresh US extradition request with amended charges:
The extradition to the US of a publisher and journalist, for engaging in journalistic activities while in Europe, would set a very dangerous precedent.
The Official Australian Website in Support of Julian Assange has published an interview with Andrew Fowler, Aussie investigative journalist and foreign correspondent. He raised concerns about Assange’s health:
It seems quite clear that there is an attempt by the British and US administrations to destroy Assange, either driving him to suicide or a psychological breakdown. […] The ultimate purpose of Assange’s treatment is a warning to others. Particularly other journalists. It’s the modern day equivalent of crucifixion, putting heads of enemies on spikes, or public hangings.
Many see this as a ‘show trial’, including the World Socialist Web Site. After the last hearing in mid-August, it argued:
[…] the US government has been building its extradition case and expanding the scope of its vendetta against all those who have helped WikiLeaks bring the truth to the people of the world.
The WSWS also called out the mainstream media for its inaction:
It is significant that not a single major news organization in the US even bothered to report the hearing yesterday.
In a recent post at OffGuardian, Binoy Kampmark attacked the British legal system for their treatment of Assange:
What awaits Assange next month promises to be resoundingly ugly. He will have to ready himself for more pain, applied by Judge Vanessa Baraitser. Throughout her steering of proceedings, Baraitser has remained chillingly indifferent to Assange’s needs, a model of considered cruelty.

Supporters can take their pick of a number of petitions that have been circulating online for some time. Amnesty International has one:
The right to freedom of expression and access to information must be protected. Sign our petition to urge the US authorities to drop the charges against Julian Assange that stem solely from his publishing activities with Wikileaks https://t.co/derRZpt4Ba pic.twitter.com/GmELTNw9uw — Amnesty International (@amnesty) August 30, 2020
Brisbane Assange Action Queensland has been promoting a campaign to involve Australian parliamentarians, believing it’s not too late to lobby them:
We want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all the latest Australian MPs Standing UP & Speaking OUT for #JulianAssange because his human rights and Free Speech Rights are OURS!
There are now 24! (of 225)
CALL your MP tomorrow & ask to join the group#auspol2020 https://t.co/3IwOfZSECU — Brisbane Assange Action Queensland (@ActionAssange) September 2, 2020
The UK-based Don’t Extradite Assange Campaign has an extensive collection of materials and videos and their own petition. They have an detailed document canvassing the issues here.
Australian Phillip Adams has a petition with over 500,000 signatures so far. He also has an updated list of protests. Australian rallies include Darwin, Sydney, Brisbane and Hobart. Among the protests planned internationally are Mexico City, Hamburg and San Francisco:
Pls join live in San Francisco this Monday to protest the start of Julian Assange’s Extradition Hearing in solidarity with global #Candles4Assange – Any actions big or small help #FreeAssange #YellowRibbons4Assange #cloversforassange @action_4assange @MrsC_Assange @StellaMoris1 pic.twitter.com/Qjb5HVCWzu — Jeanie Schmidt 🍀 (@JeaniRN) September 2, 2020
Sputnik News interviewed Juan Passarelli, director of the new documentary The War on Journalism: The Case of Julian Assange. He worked with WikiLeaks for ten years.
There is an increasingly dangerous authoritarianism growing in the West, where people are being surveilled to a much greater extent than than the Germany Stazi ever was able to achieve, because of our digital spying apparatuses that we have in our pockets called smartphones.
Julian’s partner Stella Morris is raising money to fund his defense. Her CrowdJustice page has the latest update:
The outcome of this case has huge repercussions for press freedom. It is the first time a publisher has been charged under the Espionage Act. It would be the first time any foreign journalist is prosecuted and extradited to the US for publishing truths they didn’t like.
Guatemalan lawyer Renata Avila (a member of the Global Voices community) shared her concerns:
#Australia failed Julian #Assange. It should be a scandal to the entire Nation that one of their most courageous and notable thinkers, a journalist and technologist, is locked under harsh conditions. The Australian gov must advocate for his release. — Renata Avila (@avilarenata) September 3, 2020
Assange campaigner Monique Jolie tweeted this plea to Australians:
To Aussies everywhere, please contact Minister for Foreign Affairs Marise Payne: https://t.co/80rzp0F9An and Prime Minister Scott Morrison: https://t.co/cRLuJgboam Ask them to demand an end to any attempt to extradite #JulianAssange and then to #BringAssangeHome!! #auspol pic.twitter.com/rKOXcGRDuk — 🍀🎗Monique Jolie #TeamAssange⌛🌹🏴 (@moniquejolie) September 3, 2020
We can certainly expect #FreeJulianAssange and #BringAssangeHome to be trending on social media during the court hearing, which could take a long as four weeks.

Morrison , CO — Most people reading this article know what it is like to have the blue and red lights pop up in your rear view mirror .
The last thing going through your mind at this point is the feeling of ‘ being protected.

Morrison, CO — Most people reading this article know what it is like to have the blue and red lights pop up in your rear view mirror. The last thing going through your mind at this point is the feeling of ‘being protected.’ This feeling comes from the fact that the overwhelming majority of the time a driver sees police lights in their mirror is because they have been targeted for revenue collection—often the result of a quota system—and they are about to be given a ticket, or worse.
Police, we are told, are here to keep us safe and protect us from the bad guys. However, public safety all too often takes a back seat to revenue collection. Time and time again, the Free Thought Project has exposed quota schemes in which officers were punished for not writing enough tickets.
The most recent ticket writing scheme to be exposed comes of out Morrison, Colorado. Morrison Police Chief George Mumma Jr. was forced to retire last month after a meeting with Town Manager Kara Winters, who according to Mumma complained his officers weren’t aggressive enough in writing traffic tickets.
The act of not aggressively extorting citizens should be praised by officials. However, because they use this legalized extortion to fill their coffers, city officials have become addicted to it.
“It was made clear that our budget was based on traffic revenue,” Mumma told FOX 31.
As FOX 31 reports, Mumma joined the department in Nov. 2017 when he said it had “One of the worst reputations in the Denver Metro area,” because it was known for being a speed trap.
“The officers weren’t trained and weren’t doing a lot of things other than writing tickets,” according to Mumma.
So, he set out to change it, which put a target on his back. Mumma refused to violate the rights of the citizens by preying on them with mandates to issue tickets for face masks, traffic speed and vehicle noise, so they ousted him.
Naturally, the city responded by claiming the issuance of fines for face masks and traffic infractions is for the safety of all citizens.
Winters wrote,
Among the most important was the requirement that all town employees – including our police officers – consistently wear face masks in public places. We also were not aligned with respect to the board’s mandate that the department more effectively control traffic speeds and vehicle noise throughout the town.
Though mask enforcement was mentioned, Mumma says traffic enforcement was the number one issue for his forced retirement as it solely funded them.
“Usually an agency has some other form of revenue (besides traffic citations) coming in that addresses the police department,” said Mumma who said he was never comfortable with the fact Morrison Police received 100% of its revenue from traffic tickets, “It’s an ethical issue for me.”
Mumma was celebrated by his department when he came in as he allocated more officers to solving actual crimes while leaving just three cops to extort citizens.
A letter sent by the Morrison Police Department to the board of trustees said, “Chief Mumma is a man of high ethics and standards,” adding his “retirement has been forced without basis” before asking for Mumma to “resume his role as chief of police, effectively immediately.”

Mandating that officers issue citations and make arrests is nothing close to “protecting and serving.” In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
Requiring a minimum number of citations forces conflict and potentially hostile interactions in situations where their would otherwise be no conflict.
It truly forces police officers to create criminals out of innocent people in order to generate revenue, or they face losing their jobs.
Sadly – Morrison, Colorado is not some isolated incident. For years, TFTP has reported on these quota systems from coast to coast. As we just reported in June, the town of Ridgetop, Tenn. fired its entire police department after they refused to enforce an illegal quota scheme to line the pockets of city officials.

We have some more bad news for the thousands of recently laid-off airline pilots, or ones that could be laid off this fall, as the travel and tourism industry remains in a bust cycle, that is, some planes are becoming fully automated and may no longer require pilots.
The future of autonomous flight could be much closer than folks realize, mostly because startups like Xwing, is working with the FAA to certify a fleet of autonomous Cessna 208B Grand Caravan utility planes for short-haul delivery services, reported FOX 5 New York.
Xwing’s Autoflight System can easily convert an existing small plane into an autonomous aircraft that can taxi, take off, navigate a flight route, and safely land, all on its own.
The company said the future of the air freight industry is the integration of autonomous systems:
“We believe the path to full autonomy begins with the air cargo market, and involves remote operators supervising fleets of unmanned aircraft,” Xwing founder and CEO Marc Piette said.
Xwing has already flown the robo-cargo plane more than 40 hours in test flights this summer with hopes of FAA certification in the near term. Upon approval, the company plans to fly a fleet of planes on humanitarian trips, with flight distances up to 500 miles.
It might not be until the mid-point of the decade before autonomous planes begin to chip away at human pilot jobs. We noted last week how thousands of airline pilots are set to learn how to fly drones amid the mass layoffs at carriers.

In a quietly remarkable film, Stephen Shellenberger has opened up for us a wormhole into a subterranean world which few know exist. This world consists of people who are not whom they appear to be, of human experimentation, transhumanism and even clones. Through the course of the film, we are shown what can happen to a person who inadvertently sees beyond the veil.
On the surface, the main character in the film, Michael, is living a great life. A photographer in Montreal, he has been traveling the world for decades, photographing on assignment. When he sees a woman in the street, his girlfriend of more than 25 years ago, things suddenly take a turn in his life. The girlfriend had disappeared, and Michael, who has been grieving her loss since she inexplicably vanished, is stunned to realize that she has not aged at all.
And having seen her, his life suddenly changes.
He comes home to find things moved around in his house. Strangers begin to approach him who oddly know about his missing girlfriend. Bewildered and looking for answers, he approaches a man in the street who hands out flyers about surveillance.
And things begin to get even weirder. In the car on the way to a surveillance guru, who may have answers for Michael, the flyer guy begins to expostulate: “Cellphone towers, ELF, Scalar waves, we’re all bathed in an electromagnetic soup.” When they arrive at the pad of the guru, the surveillance narrative advances. The guru is so transfixed on his computer that he orders Michael to just leave the information he is seeking and go, saying “Everyone in this here slave colony is being fucking watched.”
Michael’s situation continues to devolve. He loses his job and, locked out of his own studio, begins to live on the streets. He begins to be assaulted with electronic weapons. It is when he meets a former DARPA scientist that some of the answers begin to emerge.
While his film is not autobiographical, Shellenberger indeed has a story to tell about his own targeting. As an established Hollywood actor known as Stephen Shellen (A River Runs Through It, The Bodyguard, Gone in Sixty Seconds, La Femme Nikita, etc.) his story also invites us to look beyond the veil. His own story, which involved not so much a missing girlfriend but a shadowy and elusive spouse with a secret double life as a high level sex slave, reveals a world of ritual abuse, stolen children and also the brutal effects of blacklisting. Stephen Shellenberger went from a successful career (he also started the hugely successful Lionsgate Productions and had homes in both L.A. and in Canada), to the career-ending blacklist and resultant homelessness. Both the persona in his film and Stephen Shellenberger received threats if they were to speak out. “Forget about your kids,” Shellenberger was told, “and maybe you will work again.”
The film was made in an unusual manner, as well. States Shellenberger,
Scenes often were written based on who I met that day and if I felt they could fit into the story. I would meet with them the next day and we would rehearse briefly them shoot the scene. The film had a life of its own and I wanted that, I wanted the film to be very organic, not canned. I used many non actors for that reason.
In addition, he worked from a “script” which was not written down but organically developed as the movie itself began to take form.
There is a world that only those who are targeted know. The slow and drearily earnest unfolding of surveillance news—“the Patriot Act reauthorizations expire and go to conference with the House Judiciary Committee,” (did so in March); “the 9th Circuit declares that the NSA spying programs are illegal” (did so in September)—are known by those targeted by surveillance protocols to be theater of the possible, of a possibility in a world where things are as they appear to be. And those targeted are aware that nothing in this world is what it appears to be.
The revolutionary aspect of this film is that, forthrightly and with significant artistry, The Spark exposes a world that is right before our eyes but which we rarely see. This is the world of what can happen to an individual with a “spark”—that is a spark of decency and love—in a world controlled largely by “information specialists” and technocrats. The parallel world exposed in The Spark could be considered to be the real world, while the world that we commonly inhabit could be seen as 2-D and utterly superficial. We skate on very thin ice in our 2-D world and this film contributes significantly to our understanding of what is real vs what we are told is real.

June 21 marked one year since internet and communication networks were restricted in Myanmar’s Rakhine state following clashes between the Myanmar military and an ethnic armed group. Local telecom operators said they were directed by authorities to restrict 3G service in the area until October 2020.
Athan and other civil society groups have been petitioning the government to restore full internet connectivity in Rakhine, especially as local residents need to access vital public health information about COVID-19.
In an email to Human Rights Watch on August 12, Maung Saungkha had bemoaned the continued use of laws that undermine freedom of expression:
I don’t see any signs or attempts to improve the freedom of expression in Myanmar. In my opinion, the government prosecutes people for protesting against the internet shutdown because it still wants to have the internet cut off in those areas.

Myanmar’s ruling party, the National League for Democracy, came to power in 2015 in a landslide victory. It was led by prominent opposition figures in the democracy movement which fiercely opposed the military dictatorship.
Maung Saungkha’s conviction is another indicator of the NLD’s failure to reverse the policies used by the previous military government to stifle dissent.
According to Athan’s research, 91 criminal complaints under the Peaceful Assembly Law have been filed against activists, students, and peaceful protestors since 2015.
Ismail Wolff, regional director of Fortify Rights, emphasized that Maung Saungkha should not have been prosecuted for simply protesting against a policy of the government:
Maung Saungkha may not be in prison this time around but he should never have been arrested in the first place or faced trial simply for defending human rights. These arrests and convictions are part of a systematic attempt to silence those who speak out against human rights abuses.

As proven by the IRREGULATORS (see 1, 2, 3). Americans have already paid for reliable, safer, and more secure high-speed internet. Wired internet connections are safer and more secure than 5G and WiFi. Federal agencies and other experts have issued warnings about 5G.

The Romanian Academy believes that, “before putting in place the 5G system, a responsible scientific analysis is absolutely necessary, to target both the evaluation of risks on the health of humans, as well as establishing total maximum exposure standards.”
The Romanian Academy issued a release on 5G.
“We draw attention that the exposure of the population to high-power radiofrequency radiation in Europe and, implicitly, in our country is already a topic of debate in the scientific world at the global level. Thus, scientists warn that the future 5G stations will generate electromagnetic fields 100 times stronger than those of the generations already in use, developing practically an artificial ocean of millimetric high frequency radiation (30-300 GHz), with high risk potential, on the medium term, on life.”
“Concretely, millimetric radiation is absorbed at the level of the skin, to a depth of around 1-2 mm, as well as at the level of the superficial blanket of the cornea, and the local effects can be spread by molecular mechanisms to the rest of the body.

Alexa Users Can Buy Gas With Voice Command At Some Stations Despite Issues And Warnings About Hacking

Warnings about gas pumps being vulnerable to cyberattacks are NOT new .
Warnings about Alexa devices being hacked are NOT new either .
In fact , warnings about ALL wireless , “ Smart , ” and Internet of Things ( IoT ) devices being vulnerable to cyberattacks and hacking are NOT new and continue to be reported ( see 1 , 2 ) .
It ’ s hard to keep up with all of them .
Also being reported – hackers can set devices on fire .
Nevertheless , some gas stations are allowing Alexa users access to their pumps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a voice command at some stations In partnership with ExxonMobil and fintech provider Fiserv , Amazon today launched an Alexa feature that lets users pay for gas with a voice command .
The integration was first announced in January at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show , but today marks its rollout at over 11,500 Exxon and Mobil stations across the U.S .
Starting today , customers with Alexa-enabled vehicles , Alexa-enabled devices like Echo Auto and Echo Buds , or the Alexa app on Android or iOS can say “ Alexa , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confirm their station location and pump number .
Confirming the location and number will activate the pump , after which customers can optionally select the fuel grade and begin fueling .
Amazon says transactions are made through Amazon Pay and powered by Fiserv , which handles things like geolocation at Exxon and Mobil stations , pump activation , payment processing , and payment tokenization .
Gas payments will default to the primary payment method associated with customers ’ accounts ( excepting Amazon gift cards ) , but Exxon notes on its website that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earn Exxon Mobile Rewards+ points .
Amazon says access to the new feature — which doesn ’ t work with Echo devices “ built for at-home use , ” including the Echo , Echo Show , and Echo Dot — can be secured with a voice PIN if customers choose .
This can be set up through the Account Settings screen in the Alexa app .
The company also notes that the name , email address , payment , location , and other Amazon account information required to support the transaction will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The launch of Alexa-powered payments at ExxonMobil stations comes after Amazon debuted partnerships allowing users in some countries — including the U.S. and India — to pay utility companies with information stored in their Amazon accounts .
Coinciding with the launch , a complementary bill management feature rolled out to Alexa-enabled devices in the U.S .

All wireless , “ Smart , ” and IoT devices also emit radiation which can make people and animals sick ( see 1 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 6 , 7 , 8 ) AND increase their cancer risk ( see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ) .

Warnings about gas pumps being vulnerable to cyberattacks are NOT new. Warnings about Alexa devices being hacked are NOT new either.
In fact, warnings about ALL wireless, “Smart,” and Internet of Things (IoT) devices being vulnerable to cyberattacks and hacking are NOT new and continue to be reported (see 1, 2). It’s hard to keep up with all of them. Also being reported – hackers can set devices on fire. Nevertheless, some gas stations are allowing Alexa users access to their pumps.
From Venture Beat:
Alexa users can now buy gas with a voice command at some stations
In partnership with ExxonMobil and fintech provider Fiserv, Amazon today launched an Alexa feature that lets users pay for gas with a voice command. The integration was first announced in January at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show, but today marks its rollout at over 11,500 Exxon and Mobil stations across the U.S. Starting today, customers with Alexa-enabled vehicles, Alexa-enabled devices like Echo Auto and Echo Buds, or the Alexa app on Android or iOS can say “Alexa, pay for gas” to have Alexa confirm their station location and pump number. Confirming the location and number will activate the pump, after which customers can optionally select the fuel grade and begin fueling. Amazon says transactions are made through Amazon Pay and powered by Fiserv, which handles things like geolocation at Exxon and Mobil stations, pump activation, payment processing, and payment tokenization. Gas payments will default to the primary payment method associated with customers’ accounts (excepting Amazon gift cards), but Exxon notes on its website that there’s currently no way to earn Exxon Mobile Rewards+ points. Amazon says access to the new feature — which doesn’t work with Echo devices “built for at-home use,” including the Echo, Echo Show, and Echo Dot — can be secured with a voice PIN if customers choose. This can be set up through the Account Settings screen in the Alexa app. The company also notes that the name, email address, payment, location, and other Amazon account information required to support the transaction will be shared with ExxonMobil at payment time. The launch of Alexa-powered payments at ExxonMobil stations comes after Amazon debuted partnerships allowing users in some countries — including the U.S. and India — to pay utility companies with information stored in their Amazon accounts. Coinciding with the launch, a complementary bill management feature rolled out to Alexa-enabled devices in the U.S.

All wireless, “Smart,” and IoT devices also emit radiation which can make people and animals sick (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) AND increase their cancer risk (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Research has determined that wireless exposure can even disrupt the blood-brain barrier, cause it to leak, and kill brain cells (see 1, 2).
All things considered, Alexa-equipped cars don’t seem worth their many avoidable risks.

Bobby Canipe was pulled over for having an expired registration. When the 70-year-old reached into the back of his truck for his walking cane, the officer fired several shots at him, hitting him once in the abdomen.
Dontrell Stephens was stopped “for not bicycling properly.” The officer pursuing him “thought the way Stephens rode his bike was suspicious.

The object was his cell phone. Stevens was unarmed.
Had any of the aforementioned individuals been given one of these PBA cards, they would likely be alive today.
The sad part about this is that the connected class’s preferential treatment through the issuance of these cards allows them a pass when they can actually pay the fines imposed on them through these traffic stops. The majority of traffic citations in most areas, however, go to poor people and minorities who often cannot afford to pay them. When they fail to pay their citations, arrest warrants are issued and these folks get processed into the system ensuring a lifetime of suffering.
The solution here isn’t to start ticketing more rich people, it’s to stop predatory policing all together and usher in a society where a police union get-out-of-jail-free card is moot because cops stop extorting people for being unable to fix a broken tail light.

Social unrest surged Saturday across Melbourne and Sydney, as hundreds of protesters took to the streets, defying draconian coronavirus lockdowns that have been in effect for nearly five weeks following a spike in virus cases and deaths.
Anti-lockdown groups gathered at the Shrine of Remembrance, a war memorial in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, with some demonstrators wearing no masks, holding signs, and were heard chanting “freedom” and “human rights matter,” reported Reuters.

#BREAKING: I was violently ARRESTED today while covering the lockdown protest in Melbourne for @RebelNewsOnline. It seems like JOURNALISTS aren't even safe anymore in Victoria.

“It is not safe, it is not smart, it is not lawful. In fact, it is absolutely selfish for people to be out there protesting,” Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews told reporters after the demonstrations.
Dozens were arrested at the protests in Melbourne and Sydney; hundreds of others were issued violations for breaching the stay-at-home public health order.
“As a result of the protest, a police officer received lacerations to the head after being assaulted by an individual who was in attendance,” Victoria Police said in a statement.
The statement continued, “Our investigations into this protest will continue, and we expect to issue further fines once the identity of individuals has been confirmed.”
Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) quoted one woman at the Shrine of Remembrance who said, “there’s no epidemic — it’s just a pretext to keep us in lockdown.”

Lockdown anger has erupted with protesters violently clashing with the riot squad in wild scenes across the city. Police promised a swift and firm response, and they delivered, in a show of force rarely seen in Melbourne. https://t.co/AVvaWLotVs @paul_dowsley #7NEWS pic.twitter.com/A4bdaxR88v — 7NEWS Melbourne (@7NewsMelbourne) September 5, 2020
Many anti-lockdown protesters were concerned that stay-at-home orders have become a form of control that restricts people from living their lives. Others were worried that the latest restrictions would result in a more profound decline in the economy.
“Our economy is going to crash because if we don’t start opening up borders and letting people have freedom of choice to do what they want to do, how are we going to exist?” one protester told ABC.
Australia officially entered a recession at the beginning of Sept., the first time in three decades, as deep economic scarring and soaring unemployment rate could result in a much slower recovery.
Tony Abbott, the former Australian prime minister, was heard Tues. (Sept. 1) as saying virus “hysteria” and draconian lockdowns are perpetuating the economic slowdown and have created a “something for nothing mindset” among younger generations living on furlough.
“Much of the media has indulged virus-hysteria with the occasional virus-linked death of a younger person highlighted to show that deadly threat isn’t confined to the very old or the already-very-sick or those exposed to massive viral loads,” Abbott said.
Abbott accused Andrews of being a ‘health dictator’ by placing five million Melburnians under “house arrest.” He said politicians need to stop acting like “trauma doctors” and start adopting the mindset of “health economists” – as reckless money printing to sustain the country’s economy during lockdowns isn’t sustainable.
“From a health perspective, this pandemic has been serious. From an economic perspective, it’s been disastrous,” he said.
So the question we ask readers is what could incite further unrest? Well, it could be mandatory coronavirus vaccinations.
This all comes just days after massive anti-lockdown protests in Germany. A backlash to the latest increase in restrictions in the US could be just around the corner.
