activistpost--2020-11-23--7 Things That Used to Be “Crazy Conspiracy Theories” Until 2020 Happened

Remember back in the old days of , say , 2019 , when anyone who talked about microchip implants , Americans being forced to show travel papers , and re-education camps was thought to be a crazy conspiracy theorist ?
And then 2020 rolled around and voila !
It turns out those conspiracy theories weren ’ t so “ crazy ” after all .
And I ’ m not just talking about the government releasing info about UFOs .
We ’ re living in a time when someone will attempt to beat the crap out of you , burn your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if you voted for the “ wrong ” presidential candidate .
We ’ re being subjected to curfews , our movement is restricted , and our businesses have been forcibly shut down .
One day , people will look back on this as the year that everything changed – or depending on how Americans respond to the mandates – the year we finally said enough .
Here are seven things that were considered crazy conspiracy theories…until now , when they ’ re becoming far too real .
Did you ever really think we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the government would tell private business owners when and how they could operate ?
Where workers would be told , “ You can no longer go to work for your own good ?
” Well , welcome to 2020 .
22 million jobs were lost and only 42 % of those were recovered by last August , when the country began to reopen .
Millions of the lost jobs were permanent losses , as businesses across the country fold under the weight of the restrictions that either don ’ t allow them to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former customers .

Of the businesses that have closed , many will never reopen .
Most harshly affected were small businesses .
So we have not only people who became unemployed , but we also have business owners who ’ ve lost everything .
As we go into the second round of lockdowns across the United States , it ’ s not a stretch of the imagination to think that some of the small businesses that have thus far managed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economic effects of these mandates…taking with them even more jobs and plunging even more people into poverty .
Poverty is a vicious cycle and one seemingly small thing can suck those who are struggling into a vortex of fees and penalties from which emerging seems impossible .
I ’ ve written about my own experiences with poverty here .
The concern is that even fewer people will recover financially after this round of government mandates , leaving even more Americans broke , hungry , and homeless .
But don ’ t worry – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I mean that in the President Reagan threatening kind of way .
They provided a “ stimulus ” check to everyone in America , gave such huge unemployment money to people that they made more staying home than they did going to work , and went so much deeper into debt that the number is simply unfathomable .
In effect , they paid people not to work .
And it isn ’ t the fault of those people in most cases – the government forced their places of employment to close unless it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sounds a whole lot like Universal Basic Income .
Or as I like to call it , modern feudalism .
Quite a few people are ready to give up their freedom so that someone else can take care of them .
They don ’ t think they ’ re giving up freedom .
They ’ re convinced that they are embracing a smart , fair system that eliminates poverty .
The greed , entitlement , and lack of ambition that seems inherent in many people today will have them slipping on the yoke @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they deserve a living just for drawing breath .
As Gawker ’ s headline reads , “ A Universal Basic Income Is the Utopia We Deserve.
” The idea of a universal basic income for all citizens has been catching on all over the world .
Is it too crazy to believe in ?
We spoke to the author of a new book on the ins , outs , and utopian dreams of making basic income a reality .
The basic income movement got a significant boost this week when the charity GiveDirectly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ten-year , $ 30 million pilot project giving a select group of Kenyan villagers a basic income and studying its effects .
As an anti-poverty solution , universal basic income appeals to impoverished people in Africa , relatively well-off Scandinavians , and Americans automated out of their jobs alike .
( source ) Sure , money for nothing sounds great on the surface .
But what would the real result of a Universal Basic Income be ?
UBI would fast-track us back to the feudalism of the Middle Ages .
Sure , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ modern micro-efficiencies instead of shacks .
We ’ d have some kind of modern job instead of raising sheep for the lord of the manor .
But , in the end , we wouldn ’ t actually own anything because private property would be abolished for all but the ruling class .
We ’ d no longer have the ability to get ahead in life .
Our courses would be set for us and veering off of those courses would be harshly discouraged .
People will be completely dependent on the government and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , shelter , water , clothing .
What better way to assert control than to make compliance necessary for survival ?
( source ) With this second round of lockdowns how many more jobs will go permanently down the tubes ?
What are all those people going to do for food ?
For rent ?
The government is going to give them money .
And we can ’ t even argue , really , because everyone knows someone who has lost a job they had for decades and who can ’ t find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something else , but Universal Basic Income is coming .
And it ’ s coming soon .
Don ’ t be ridiculous .
We ’ ll never have to show our “ papers ” to travel freely in the United States .
Not until a COVID pandemic with all its subsidiary restrictions occurred .
Back in March , days after I warned about the first lockdown , I wrote : For everyone who thought the article about the Lockdown of America was a “ hysterical overstatement ” and that they could still do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t really being enforced , what are you thinking now that “ travel papers ” are being handed out ?
To me , this sounds like the lockdowns I wrote of yesterday were just the first incremental step toward a society that nobody hopes to see .
Yesterday , readers sent me photos of “ travel papers ” provided to them by employers so they could get to and from work .
These are employees who work in industries like healthcare , pharmacies , and foodservice , as well as those who work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sales of essential supplies .
One reader wrote , “ We were told to show these if we got stopped on the way to or from work and that if the authorities gave us any trouble , to not argue and just go back home.
” Papers that people sent were from Pennsylvania , New York , Arizona , Michigan , North Carolina , Kansas , New Jersey , West Virginia , Virginia , Oregon , Florida , Louisiana , and Ohio .
Industries mentioned in the papers were trucking , grocery stores @ @ @ @ @ @ @ homes , city transit workers , railroads , food production plants , pharmacies , gas stations , stores like Target and Walmart , and automotive repair facilities .
Most people were given their papers on Friday or Saturday and told they ’ d need them to get to and from work starting the week ahead .
( source ) You can see some of the papers that people sent me here .
“ Don ’ t be silly .
Nobody is actually tracking you with your phone .
You ’ re not Jason @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a lie when they rolled out contact tracing apps to make sure you didn ’ t breathe the same air as somebody who got a positive COVID test .
So…if you have a smartphone , rest assured , at some point you ’ re probably going to have an app like this forcibly installed during one of those relentless updates .
Of course , they ’ ll say that the app is just the framework and you have to enable it for it to work .
Oh , wait , they already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ framework.
” Somehow , the United States ran out of change .
There were no coins to be had…anywhere…for a while .
Bloomberg reported in August : This had a lot of people concerned , especially since Venezuela used COVID to push citizens toward a cashless society .
Here in the United States , the “ change shortage ” was so extensive is caused many stores to give you your change on a store loyalty card or invite you to donate that change to some cause .
A true cashless society would allow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives .
See this article for some of the totalitarian ways it would affect us .
Darpa got involved early on , touting it as a way to “ save ” us all from COVID .
Robert Wheeler wrote : But governments aren ’ t having to market the chip as a method to track , trace , and control their populations .
Instead , they are marketing the chip as a way to track and detect COVID and other coronaviruses .
Clearly , this is a much easier sell to a public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media outlets for the last six months .
Raul Diego details the creation and coming rollout of the new biochip in his article , “ A DARPA-Funded Implantable Microchip to Detect COVID-19 Could Hit Markets By 2021 , ” where he writes , The most significant scientific discovery since gravity has been hiding in plain sight for nearly a decade and its destructive potential to humanity is so enormous that the biggest war machine on the planet immediately deployed its vast resources to possess and control it , financing its research and development @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Health ( NIH ) , the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) and HHS ’ BARDA .
The revolutionary breakthrough came to a Canadian scientist named Derek Rossi in 2010 purely by accident .
The now-retired Harvard professor claimed in an interview with the National Post that he found a way to “ reprogram ” the molecules that carry the genetic instructions for cell development in the human body , not to mention all biological lifeforms .
These molecules are called ‘ messenger ribonucleic acid ’ or mRNA and the newfound @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any kind of cell within a biological organism has radically changed the course of Western medicine and science , even if no one has really noticed yet .
As Rossi , himself , puts it : “ The real important discovery here was you could now use mRNA , and if you got it into the cells , then you could get the mRNA to express any protein in the cells , and this was the big thing.
” ( Source ) The microchip talk died down but the fact it as even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should be troubling .
Anyway , after the initial microchip hubbub , the push got redirected toward our next conspiracy theory .
Remember back when nobody thought that adults would ever be forced to take vaccines except for “ crazy conspiracy theorists ?
” Well , that day is coming sooner than many people expect .
A much-heralded COVID vaccine could be rolled out in a matter of days .
Pfizer and BioNTech have both concluded Phase 3 of rushing their jabs to market .
There are still many , many questions .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ familiar ways will take time , and how much time remains unclear .
The answers await more research into the vaccines , how they can be distributed and how many people are willing to get them .
“ A vaccine won ’ t be available immediately for everybody , ” says Arthur Reingold , a professor of epidemiology at the School of Public Health at the University of California , Berkeley… … “ It probably will take four to six months , ” he says .
“ What that says to me is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ masks at least until spring .
We won ’ t be in a magically different situation by February or March .
I don ’ t see how that can possibly happen.
” Equally important are the unknowns about the vaccines themselves .
Scientists still don ’ t know how long vaccine-induced protection will last , for example , or whether inoculations can block actual infection , or only prevent the onset of disease .
If the latter turns out to be the case , meaning the vaccines keep us from getting sick , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be infectious to others .
Until we know , don ’ t toss those masks into the trash… …Andrew Badley , an immunovirologist who chairs Mayo Clinic ’ s covid-19 task force , says the return of any normal activities depends on numerous factors , including how many people get vaccinated .
“ The only possibility that life will return to normal by summer is if the majority of the population receives the vaccines by then and the early efficacy data is borne out in ongoing studies , ” he says .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is unlikely we will be able to vaccinate the majority of the population by then.
” ( source ) And how will they make sure that “ the majority ” of the population gets the vaccines ?
It ’ ll start out easy – there are tons of people who will gladly roll up their sleeves to get a vaccination that was rushed to market with no testing on the long-term effects .
And then , the rest of us will be coerced by being unable to go to work , to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into a public building without proof we ’ ve been vaccinated .
YOU WALK TOWARD the arena , ready for a big game , tickets in hand .
But what you see is a long line wrapping around the corner of the building and a bottleneck at the entrance as people search their pockets and purses for a small piece of paper .
To be cleared to enter , you ’ ll also need that document—proof that you ’ ve received a COVID-19 vaccination .
This is the future as some experts see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ll need to show you ’ ve been inoculated against the novel coronavirus to attend a sports game , get a manicure , go to work , or hop on a train .
“ We ’ re not going to get to the point where the vaccine police break down your door to vaccinate you , ” says Arthur Caplan , a bioethicist at New York University ’ s School of Medicine .
But he and several other health policy experts envision vaccine mandates could be instituted and enforced by local governments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for school-age children , military personnel , and hospital workers… …The mandates can be directed toward customers , as well .
Just as business owners can bar shoeless and shirtless clients from entering their restaurants , salons , arenas , and stores , they can legally keep people out for any number of reasons , “ as long as they ’ re not running afoul of any antidiscrimination laws , ” says Dorit Rubinstein Reiss , a professor of health and vaccine law at the University of California , Hastings College of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ available , some experts think states will require targeted industries to enforce vaccine mandates for their employees , especially those we ’ ve come to know as “ essential workers.
” “ Grocery store workers get exposed to a lot of people , but also have the chance to infect a lot of people because of the nature of their work and the fact that virtually everybody needs to buy food , ” says Carmel Shachar , executive director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy , Biotechnology , and Bioethics at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who work in restaurants , bars , and coffee shops , for example—could also see similar mandates .
“ It ’ s in an employer ’ s interest to make sure that their workplace is protected and that you can ’ t infect your colleagues , ” Shachar says .
“ Having a widely accessible vaccine gets a lot of employers out of having to control their clients ’ behavior.
” And with a vaccinated workforce , “ you don ’ t need to worry if the people you ’ re serving at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ general public could be incentivized to get vaccinated .
“ Oddly enough , the best way to impose a mandate is to reward people with more freedom if they follow that mandate , ” Caplan says .
For example , with proof of inoculation , you would be able to attend a sporting event “ as a reward for doing the right thing , ” he says .
“ And I can imagine people saying , If you want to go to my restaurant , my bowling alley , or my tattoo parlor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine certificate , too.
” Booster shots could also be required , depending on the efficacy of future vaccines .
( source ) Doesn ’ t it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside how all these experts are planning to force an unwilling populace to accept an untested vaccine ?
It ’ s all for our own good , you know .
Remember how we all used to joke about being put into FEMA camps ?
Well…..
Finally , for those of us who believed these conspiracy theories were conspiracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Trump voters – there ’ s the discussion about how to re-educate us so we can rejoin society .
In a Twitter thread run amok , we saw the dark side of some “ well-educated ” Democrats who were sincerely trying to figure out how to redeem those of us who did not vote for Joe Biden .
Of course , he doesn ’ t really mean re-education camps .
Of course not .
And Laura found she bit off a bit more than she intended to chew .
So of course @ @ @ @ @ @ @ darned Russians , right ? )
Welcome to my inbox for the past 8 years , Laura .
Every time I have posted a pro-gun , pro-self-defense article , I ’ ve been barraged with “ creative ” rape threats with a vast variety of implements and violent threats by the “ peaceful ” left .
People have wished my children dead in a school shooting .
So cry me a river , Laura , if your “ thoughtful discussion ” of putting me and people like me into anti-cult deprogramming in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Trust me , you get used to it .
Heck , you might even begin to understand why I ’ m a gun owner .
What other conspiracy theories have been proven true this year ?
Is it just me or has 2020 been like reading every “ crazy conspiracy ” rabbit hole on the internet while dropping acid ?
Except you can ’ t come down from the trip because it ’ s all actually happening .
What other former “ wacky ” theories have become fact this year ?

Remember back in the old days of, say, 2019, when anyone who talked about microchip implants, Americans being forced to show travel papers, and re-education camps was thought to be a crazy conspiracy theorist? And then 2020 rolled around and voila! It turns out those conspiracy theories weren’t so “crazy” after all.
And I’m not just talking about the government releasing info about UFOs.
We’re living in a time when someone will attempt to beat the crap out of you, burn your house down, or even kill you if you voted for the “wrong” presidential candidate. We’re being subjected to curfews, our movement is restricted, and our businesses have been forcibly shut down. One day, people will look back on this as the year that everything changed – or depending on how Americans respond to the mandates – the year we finally said enough.
Here are seven things that were considered crazy conspiracy theories…until now, when they’re becoming far too real.
#1) Universal Basic Income
Did you ever really think we’d live in a country where the government would tell private business owners when and how they could operate? Where workers would be told, “You can no longer go to work for your own good?”
Well, welcome to 2020.
22 million jobs were lost and only 42% of those were recovered by last August, when the country began to reopen. Millions of the lost jobs were permanent losses, as businesses across the country fold under the weight of the restrictions that either don’t allow them to operate or the money problems of their former customers.
“It’s clear that the pandemic is doing some fundamental damage to the job market,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics. “A lot of the jobs lost aren’t coming back any time soon. The idea that the economy is going to snap back to where it was before the pandemic is clearly not going to happen.” …More than 10 million Americans are currently categorized as temporarily out of work. But historically, nearly 30% of people who tell the Labor Department that they are temporarily unemployed never get their job back, said Heidi Shierholz, senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal think tank. “Even though we don’t know if the historical record will hold in this case, it’s an extremely valid concern that not all of those people are going to get called back,” she said. People who are counting on businesses reopening their doors may be surprised to find that a temporary loss has become permanent one, said Zandi. (source)

Of the businesses that have closed, many will never reopen. Most harshly affected were small businesses.
About 60% of businesses that have closed during the coronavirus pandemic will never reopen, and restaurants have suffered the most, according to new data from Yelp. (source)
So we have not only people who became unemployed, but we also have business owners who’ve lost everything. As we go into the second round of lockdowns across the United States, it’s not a stretch of the imagination to think that some of the small businesses that have thus far managed to stay afloat will succumb to the economic effects of these mandates…taking with them even more jobs and plunging even more people into poverty.
Poverty is a vicious cycle and one seemingly small thing can suck those who are struggling into a vortex of fees and penalties from which emerging seems impossible. I’ve written about my own experiences with poverty here. The concern is that even fewer people will recover financially after this round of government mandates, leaving even more Americans broke, hungry, and homeless.
But don’t worry – the government is here to help and I mean that in the President Reagan threatening kind of way. They provided a “stimulus” check to everyone in America, gave such huge unemployment money to people that they made more staying home than they did going to work, and went so much deeper into debt that the number is simply unfathomable.
In effect, they paid people not to work. And it isn’t the fault of those people in most cases – the government forced their places of employment to close unless it was considered “essential.”
And that sounds a whole lot like Universal Basic Income. Or as I like to call it, modern feudalism.
Quite a few people are ready to give up their freedom so that someone else can take care of them. They don’t think they’re giving up freedom. They’re convinced that they are embracing a smart, fair system that eliminates poverty. The greed, entitlement, and lack of ambition that seems inherent in many people today will have them slipping on the yoke of servitude willingly. They feel like they deserve a living just for drawing breath. As Gawker’s headline reads, “A Universal Basic Income Is the Utopia We Deserve.” The idea of a universal basic income for all citizens has been catching on all over the world. Is it too crazy to believe in? We spoke to the author of a new book on the ins, outs, and utopian dreams of making basic income a reality. The basic income movement got a significant boost this week when the charity GiveDirectly announced that it will be pursuing a ten-year, $30 million pilot project giving a select group of Kenyan villagers a basic income and studying its effects. As an anti-poverty solution, universal basic income appeals to impoverished people in Africa, relatively well-off Scandinavians, and Americans automated out of their jobs alike. (source) Sure, money for nothing sounds great on the surface. But what would the real result of a Universal Basic Income be? Feudalism. Serfdom. Enslavement. UBI would fast-track us back to the feudalism of the Middle Ages. Sure, we’d be living in slick, modern micro-efficiencies instead of shacks. We’d have some kind of modern job instead of raising sheep for the lord of the manor. But, in the end, we wouldn’t actually own anything because private property would be abolished for all but the ruling class. We’d no longer have the ability to get ahead in life. Our courses would be set for us and veering off of those courses would be harshly discouraged. People will be completely dependent on the government and ruling class for every necessity: food, shelter, water, clothing. What better way to assert control than to make compliance necessary for survival? (source)
With this second round of lockdowns how many more jobs will go permanently down the tubes? What are all those people going to do for food? For rent? The government is going to give them money. And we can’t even argue, really, because everyone knows someone who has lost a job they had for decades and who can’t find other work.
They might call it something else, but Universal Basic Income is coming. And it’s coming soon.
#2) Travel Papers
Don’t be ridiculous. We’ll never have to show our “papers” to travel freely in the United States.
Doh.
Not until a COVID pandemic with all its subsidiary restrictions occurred. Back in March, days after I warned about the first lockdown, I wrote:
For everyone who thought the article about the Lockdown of America was a “hysterical overstatement” and that they could still do whatever they wanted because it wasn’t really being enforced, what are you thinking now that “travel papers” are being handed out? To me, this sounds like the lockdowns I wrote of yesterday were just the first incremental step toward a society that nobody hopes to see. Yesterday, readers sent me photos of “travel papers” provided to them by employers so they could get to and from work. These are employees who work in industries like healthcare, pharmacies, and foodservice, as well as those who work in the production, transport, and sales of essential supplies. One reader wrote, “We were told to show these if we got stopped on the way to or from work and that if the authorities gave us any trouble, to not argue and just go back home.” Papers that people sent were from Pennsylvania, New York, Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Kansas, New Jersey, West Virginia, Virginia, Oregon, Florida, Louisiana, and Ohio. Industries mentioned in the papers were trucking, grocery stores, medical clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, city transit workers, railroads, food production plants, pharmacies, gas stations, stores like Target and Walmart, and automotive repair facilities. Most people were given their papers on Friday or Saturday and told they’d need them to get to and from work starting the week ahead. (source)
You can see some of the papers that people sent me here.
#3) Mandatory GPS tracking of humans
“Don’t be silly. Nobody is actually tracking you with your phone. You’re not Jason Bourne.”
Whoops. 2020 proved that was a lie when they rolled out contact tracing apps to make sure you didn’t breathe the same air as somebody who got a positive COVID test.
Not only do sick or potentially sick people need to worry about being phoned or questioned by contact tracers, but there’s also a whole new world of dystopian technology being rapidly developed. Apple and Google formed a partnership to develop a phone app with the potential to monitor one-third of the world’s population. The Australian government has developed an app called COVIDSafe to “protect you, your family and friends and save the lives of other Australians. The more Australians connect to the COVIDSafe app, the quicker we can find the virus.” In fact, all sorts of potentially invasive new technology tools are springing up to “fight COVID.” Some use AI to detect signs of COVID and the Department of Defense is deploying thermal imaging to detect signs of COVID. These things won’t just go away when the pandemic is over. If they’re in use for a year or two years – however long this virus is with us – chances are, they’re here to stay. (source)
So…if you have a smartphone, rest assured, at some point you’re probably going to have an app like this forcibly installed during one of those relentless updates. Of course, they’ll say that the app is just the framework and you have to enable it for it to work. Oh, wait, they already said that. After installing “the framework.”
#4) Cashless societies
Somehow, the United States ran out of change.
There were no coins to be had…anywhere…for a while. Bloomberg reported in August:
As if a deep recession and a never-ending pandemic wasn’t enough, the U.S. now faces another crisis: a coin shortage. Thanks to the lockdowns, fewer coins are in circulation, leaving businesses unable to make change when customers hand over paper money. (source)
This had a lot of people concerned, especially since Venezuela used COVID to push citizens toward a cashless society. Here in the United States, the “change shortage” was so extensive is caused many stores to give you your change on a store loyalty card or invite you to donate that change to some cause. A true cashless society would allow significant control over our day to day lives. See this article for some of the totalitarian ways it would affect us.
#5) Microchips
Darpa got involved early on, touting it as a way to “save” us all from COVID. Robert Wheeler wrote:
But governments aren’t having to market the chip as a method to track, trace, and control their populations. Instead, they are marketing the chip as a way to track and detect COVID and other coronaviruses. Clearly, this is a much easier sell to a public literally terrorized by their governments and mainstream media outlets for the last six months. Raul Diego details the creation and coming rollout of the new biochip in his article, “A DARPA-Funded Implantable Microchip to Detect COVID-19 Could Hit Markets By 2021,” where he writes, The most significant scientific discovery since gravity has been hiding in plain sight for nearly a decade and its destructive potential to humanity is so enormous that the biggest war machine on the planet immediately deployed its vast resources to possess and control it, financing its research and development through agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and HHS’ BARDA. The revolutionary breakthrough came to a Canadian scientist named Derek Rossi in 2010 purely by accident. The now-retired Harvard professor claimed in an interview with the National Post that he found a way to “reprogram” the molecules that carry the genetic instructions for cell development in the human body, not to mention all biological lifeforms.

As Rossi, himself, puts it: “The real important discovery here was you could now use mRNA, and if you got it into the cells, then you could get the mRNA to express any protein in the cells, and this was the big thing.” (Source)
The microchip talk died down but the fact it as even a discussion and topic of COVID research should be troubling. Anyway, after the initial microchip hubbub, the push got redirected toward our next conspiracy theory.
#6) Mandatory vaccines
Remember back when nobody thought that adults would ever be forced to take vaccines except for “crazy conspiracy theorists?” Well, that day is coming sooner than many people expect.
A much-heralded COVID vaccine could be rolled out in a matter of days. Pfizer and BioNTech have both concluded Phase 3 of rushing their jabs to market. There are still many, many questions.
The return to many of our old familiar ways will take time, and how much time remains unclear. The answers await more research into the vaccines, how they can be distributed and how many people are willing to get them. “A vaccine won’t be available immediately for everybody,” says Arthur Reingold, a professor of epidemiology at the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley… …“It probably will take four to six months,” he says. “What that says to me is that people will have to keep wearing masks at least until spring. We won’t be in a magically different situation by February or March. I don’t see how that can possibly happen.” Equally important are the unknowns about the vaccines themselves. Scientists still don’t know how long vaccine-induced protection will last, for example, or whether inoculations can block actual infection, or only prevent the onset of disease.

He adds, however: “I think it is unlikely we will be able to vaccinate the majority of the population by then.” (source)
And how will they make sure that “the majority” of the population gets the vaccines? It’ll start out easy – there are tons of people who will gladly roll up their sleeves to get a vaccination that was rushed to market with no testing on the long-term effects. And then, the rest of us will be coerced by being unable to go to work, to a concert, to school, or into a public building without proof we’ve been vaccinated.
YOU WALK TOWARD the arena, ready for a big game, tickets in hand. But what you see is a long line wrapping around the corner of the building and a bottleneck at the entrance as people search their pockets and purses for a small piece of paper. To be cleared to enter, you’ll also need that document—proof that you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccination. This is the future as some experts see it: a world in which you’ll need to show you’ve been inoculated against the novel coronavirus to attend a sports game, get a manicure, go to work, or hop on a train. “We’re not going to get to the point where the vaccine police break down your door to vaccinate you,” says Arthur Caplan, a bioethicist at New York University’s School of Medicine.

Just as business owners can bar shoeless and shirtless clients from entering their restaurants, salons, arenas, and stores, they can legally keep people out for any number of reasons, “as long as they’re not running afoul of any antidiscrimination laws,” says Dorit Rubinstein Reiss, a professor of health and vaccine law at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. When a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, some experts think states will require targeted industries to enforce vaccine mandates for their employees, especially those we’ve come to know as “essential workers.” “Grocery store workers get exposed to a lot of people, but also have the chance to infect a lot of people because of the nature of their work and the fact that virtually everybody needs to buy food,” says Carmel Shachar, executive director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School. Hospitality industry workers—those who work in restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, for example—could also see similar mandates. “It’s in an employer’s interest to make sure that their workplace is protected and that you can’t infect your colleagues,” Shachar says. “Having a widely accessible vaccine gets a lot of employers out of having to control their clients’ behavior.” And with a vaccinated workforce, “you don’t need to worry if the people you’re serving at the restaurant have COVID-19.” Even the general public could be incentivized to get vaccinated. “Oddly enough, the best way to impose a mandate is to reward people with more freedom if they follow that mandate,” Caplan says. For example, with proof of inoculation, you would be able to attend a sporting event “as a reward for doing the right thing,” he says. “And I can imagine people saying, If you want to go to my restaurant, my bowling alley, or my tattoo parlor, then I want to see a vaccine certificate, too.” Booster shots could also be required, depending on the efficacy of future vaccines.

Doesn’t it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside how all these experts are planning to force an unwilling populace to accept an untested vaccine? It’s all for our own good, you know.
#7) Re-education camps
Remember how we all used to joke about being put into FEMA camps? Well…..
Finally, for those of us who believed these conspiracy theories were conspiracy facts all along – oh – and for Trump voters – there’s the discussion about how to re-educate us so we can rejoin society.
In a Twitter thread run amok, we saw the dark side of some “well-educated” Democrats who were sincerely trying to figure out how to redeem those of us who did not vote for Joe Biden.
No seriously…how *do* you deprogram 75 million people? Where do you start? Fox? Facebook? We have to start thinking in terms of post-WWII Germany or Japan. Or the failures of Reconstruction in the South. — David Atkins (@DavidOAtkins) November 18, 2020
I know conservatives are upset by some of the responses here. And yeah, many are out of line. But what do you expect people to do in self-preservation? The Right has been running 4 years on "fuck your feelings, my conspiracy theories are valid opinions, and we have more guns." — David Atkins (@DavidOAtkins) November 19, 2020
Thank you for starting this conversation. Ignoring the propaganda and disinformation problem would be a grave mistake. We should already have a plan to combat it. Simply replacing the President does nothing. We need actual deprogramming efforts, & we should consult cult experts. — Laura Miers (@LauraMiers) November 18, 2020
Of course, he doesn’t really mean re-education camps. Of course not.
And no, of course I'm not advocating "re-education camps" or anything like that. The point is that conservative infotainment is disinformation propaganda indistuinguishable from cult programming, and social media algorithms enable it. — David Atkins (@DavidOAtkins) November 19, 2020
And Laura found she bit off a bit more than she intended to chew. So of course she blamed non-Americans. (Probably those darned Russians, right?)
If anyone is interested in how these attacks work, see the below tweets. Suggesting public health measures or combatting propaganda brings trolls by the hundreds. It’s not organic, it’s organized. Information warfare. It has a chilling effect on speech, which is the point. https://t.co/1rEwPsz8zB — Laura Miers (@LauraMiers) November 19, 2020
I’m not really sure how we go about combatting propaganda, disinformation, & hate when those who speak out on social media are targeted with tsunamis of hate, death & rape threats. I’ve never encountered it at this magnitude. It started after the election. — Laura Miers (@LauraMiers) November 19, 2020
Welcome to my inbox for the past 8 years, Laura. Every time I have posted a pro-gun, pro-self-defense article, I’ve been barraged with “creative” rape threats with a vast variety of implements and violent threats by the “peaceful” left. People have wished my children dead in a school shooting. So cry me a river, Laura, if your “thoughtful discussion” of putting me and people like me into anti-cult deprogramming in a gulag put you in an unpleasant position.
Trust me, you get used to it. Heck, you might even begin to understand why I’m a gun owner.
What other conspiracy theories have been proven true this year?
Is it just me or has 2020 been like reading every “crazy conspiracy” rabbit hole on the internet while dropping acid? Except you can’t come down from the trip because it’s all actually happening.
What other former “wacky” theories have become fact this year? Share your thoughts in the comments.

activistpost--2020-11-26--DOJ Asserts it can Kill Anyone, Anywhere and Claim “State Secrets”

While the country was riveted on the fall-out from the election results—one of the most divisive Presidential elections in recent history—as well as engaged with concerns about more Covid lockdowns , the DOJ quietly went to a court in a significant civil rights case and declared that the US can kill anyone , anywhere and claim “ state secrets , ” thus avoiding any judicial review or due process .
Bilal Abdul Kareem , who is a US born journalist and has worked for the BBC and CNN , filed a case in federal court in 2017 alleging that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kill list .
The pleadings cite at least four attempts on Kareem ’ s life in the Middle East , where he has been covering the conflict for a number of years .
These attempts involve targeted drone strikes as well as one attack on his personal vehicle apparently by a Hell Fire missile .
The citation of the Hell Fire is significant as this is a US weapon .
In September of 2019 , Judge Rosemary Collyer in US District Court dismissed Kareem ’ s case after the DOJ cited “ state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s decision took place in DC Court of Appeals on November 16 , which you can listen to here .
Kareem ’ s attorney , Tara Plochocki , was first questioned as to the plausibility of the claim that Kareem himself was the target of the strikes , given that Kareem was working in a war zone .

” The judge persists , saying “ My car keeps blowing up and I keep getting shot at…and the government ’ s position is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rights , you have no capacity to get yourself off the list…The government may execute me and there is nothing I can do about it ?

activistpost--2020-11-25--Colorado County Refuses to Enforce Lockdowns as Civil Disobedience Spreads Across America

Colorado officials last week announced that several counties had moved into the “ red level ” —the second-highest measurement on its COVID-19 dial—and would be forced to implement new regulations on restaurants , gyms , and other parts of the economy to combat the virus .
Then something remarkable happened .
Weld County , a county in the northern part of the state with a population of roughly a quarter million people , politely said no .
“ Instead , county government continues to do what it has done since March , which is promote and encourage residents and business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decisions to protect themselves , their families , their community and their businesses , ” the Board of Commissioners said in a statement .
With a test-positivity rate north of 16 percent , Weld County ’ s infection rate is well above the 5 percent threshold the World Health Organization uses as a benchmark for taking proactive measures to limit the spread of the virus .
Nevertheless , county officials enumerated what they would not do .
The county will not enforce a rule confining individuals to their homes for an undetermined length @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enforce a rule that states residents can not have personal gatherings ; the county will not tell the school districts how to provide education to their students ; the county will not enforce a rule requiring a reduction of attendees in places of worship ; the county will not enforce a rule demanding restaurants close their indoor dining areas ; the county will not enforce any rule that forces a business to shut down or impedes their ability to operate .
Weld County ’ s defiance came just days before news broke that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ furious ” because a Brooklyn synagogue reportedly held a secret wedding earlier this month “ with thousands of unmasked guests ” in attendance .
“ If that happened , it was a blatant disregard of the law , ” Cuomo said in a briefing .
“ It ’ s illegal .
It was also disrespectful to the people of New York.
” Reports say the synagogue , the Yetev Lev temple in Williamsburg , has been fined $ 15,000 .
In Buffalo , New York , a protest of some 50 business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ local gym turned into a tense confrontation when a health inspector and deputies arrived ( apparently after receiving an anonymous complaint ) and refused to leave .
According to the Buffalo News , neither the health inspector nor the deputies would specify what rules the gym owner or those in attendance had broken .
Authorities eventually left without issuing citations as protesters chanted “ Get Out !
Get Out !
” The gym ’ s owner , Robby Dinero , said the gathering was old-fashioned civil disobedience against lockdowns .
“ It absolutely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adding that enforcement of restrictions has been “ arbitrary.
” The defiance against lockdowns has been a long time coming .
The reality is , enforcement of social distancing regulations has been arbitrary .
We ’ ve watched over and over again as politicians have flaunted their own orders without penalty .

Then something remarkable happened. Weld County, a county in the northern part of the state with a population of roughly a quarter million people, politely said no.
“Instead, county government continues to do what it has done since March, which is promote and encourage residents and business owners to take individual responsibility and make decisions to protect themselves, their families, their community and their businesses,” the Board of Commissioners said in a statement.

This is both unjust and dangerous. The growth in government power and the decline in individual liberty witnessed these many months is unprecedented in modern history, as others have observed.
Fortunately, Americans and many other people around the world—from clergy in England meeting in secret to thousands in Berlin protesting COVID restrictions as they’re shot with water cannons—have simply had enough.
This is a good thing, but it’s also stressful. Just watching the confrontations like the one in Buffalo can make a cool-headed person feel tense. It can make the world feel chaotic and give the impression that the order in our world is slipping away.
In his book 12 Rules for Life, Jordan Peterson talks about these forces, order and chaos. Order, Peterson says, is a good thing. It gives our lives stability, structure, and a security humans need. Chaos, on the other hand, sets our world on tilt. It represents the unknown and can cause distress.
Peterson doesn’t end there, however. The chaos-order duality he describes is part of a yin-yang Taoist structure.
“Order, when pushed too far, when imbalanced, can also manifest itself destructively and terribly,” Peterson writes. “It does so as forced migration, the concentration camp, and the soul-devouring uniformity of the goose step.”
The role of the archetypal hero, Peterson explained in his earlier book Maps of Meaning, is not only to tame excessive chaos, but to break down excessive order:
“Terrible, chaotic forces lurk behind the facade of the normal world. These forces are kept at bay by maintenance of social order. The reign of order is insufficient, however, because order itself becomes overbearing and deadly, if allowed unregulated or permanent expression. The actions of the hero constitute an antidote to the deadly forces of chaos, and to the tyranny of order.”
This point is so important to Peterson that, while 12 Rules for Life was subtitled “An Antidote to Chaos,” his upcoming book (which he just announced is available for pre-order) is titled, “Beyond Order.”
“Unlike my previous book, Beyond Order explores as its overarching theme how the dangers of too much security and control might be profitably avoided,” he says.
Lockdowns fit the model of a destructive order, one that has thrown the whole world into a kind of chaos. We can all feel it. And this is precisely why the lockdowns must be resisted—just like the commissioners in Weld County, the Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn, and the business owners in Buffalo.

Maybe it means eating Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends despite a state order saying you must not, or simply choosing to not wear a mask in between bites of turkey, as public health officials recommend.
Public health officials are now advising that people mask up *between their bites of turkey and pumpkin pie.* Viruses are bad. You know what's worse? Mass fear. https://t.co/P5zLDLa5BV — Jon Miltimore (@miltimore79) November 24, 2020
Maybe it means organizing peacefully with local businesses and holding an actual protest.
It doesn’t matter. Or rather, they all matter. The point is lockdowns are incredibly harmful, soul-crushing, and the most expansive encroachment on personal freedom in modern history.
It’s past time Americans and humans everywhere embrace the radical philosophy of Henry David Thoreau, who taught us that the only true foundation of liberty is civil disobedience, a peaceful and passive form of political protest that rests on the simple refusal to follow unjust laws or pay unjust taxes.

activistpost--2020-11-25--Video Analytics User Manuals Are a Guide to Dystopia

A few years ago , when you saw a security camera , you may have thought that the video feed went to a VCR somewhere in a back office that could only be accessed when a crime occurs .
Or maybe you imagined a sleepy guard who only paid half-attention , and only when they discovered a crime in progress .
In the age of internet-connectivity , now it ’ s easy to imagine footage sitting on a server somewhere , with any image inaccessible except to someone willing to fast forward through hundreds of hours of footage .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heist movies , and it may be how a homeowner still sorts through their own home security camera footage .
But that ’ s not how cameras operate in today ’ s security environment .
Instead , advanced algorithms are watching every frame on every camera and documenting every person , animal , vehicle , and backpack as they move through physical space , and thus camera to camera , over an extended period of time .
The term “ video analytics ” seems boring , but don ’ t confuse it with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ YouTube “ how to poach an egg ” tutorial .
In a law enforcement or private security context , video analytics refers to using machine learning , artificial intelligence , and computer vision to automate ubiquitous surveillance .
Through the Atlas of Surveillance project , EFF has found more than 35 law enforcement agencies that use advanced video analytics technology .
That number is steadily growing as we discover new vendors , contracts , and capabilities .
To better understand how this software works , who uses it , and what it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a number of user manuals .
And yes , they are even scarier than we thought .
Briefcam , which is often packaged with Genetec video technology , is frequently used at real-time crime centers .
These are police surveillance facilities that aggregate camera footage and other surveillance information from across a jurisdiction .
Dozens of police departments use Briefcam to search through hours of footage from multiple cameras in order to , for instance , narrow in on a particular face or a specific colored backpack .
This power of video analytic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to identify people out practicing their First Amendment right to protest .
Avigilon systems are a bit more opaque , since they are often sold to business , which aren ’ t subject to the same transparency laws .
In San Francisco , for instance , Avigilon provides the cameras and software for at least six business improvement districts ( BIDs ) and Community Benefit Districts ( CBDs ) .
These districts blanket neighborhoods in surveillance cameras and relay the footage back to a central control room .
Avigilon ’ s video analytics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether things are cars and people ) , license plate reading , and potentially face recognition .
You can read the Avigilon user manual here , and the Briefcam manual here .
The latter was obtained through the California Public Records Act by Dylan Kubeny , a student journalist at the University of Nevada , Reno Reynolds School of Journalism .
But what exactly are these software systems ’ capabilities ?
Here ’ s what we learned : If you ’ re watching video footage on Briefcam , you can select any face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ watchlist.
” Then , with a few more clicks , you can retrieve every piece of video you have with that person ’ s face in it .
Briefcam assigns all face images 1-3 stars .
One star : the AI can ’ t even recognize it as a person .
Two stars : medium confidence .
Three stars : high confidence .

A few years ago, when you saw a security camera, you may have thought that the video feed went to a VCR somewhere in a back office that could only be accessed when a crime occurs. Or maybe you imagined a sleepy guard who only paid half-attention, and only when they discovered a crime in progress. In the age of internet-connectivity, now it’s easy to imagine footage sitting on a server somewhere, with any image inaccessible except to someone willing to fast forward through hundreds of hours of footage.
That may be how it worked in 1990s heist movies, and it may be how a homeowner still sorts through their own home security camera footage. But that’s not how cameras operate in today’s security environment. Instead, advanced algorithms are watching every frame on every camera and documenting every person, animal, vehicle, and backpack as they move through physical space, and thus camera to camera, over an extended period of time.
The term “video analytics” seems boring, but don’t confuse it with how many views you got on your YouTube “how to poach an egg” tutorial. In a law enforcement or private security context, video analytics refers to using machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision to automate ubiquitous surveillance.
Through the Atlas of Surveillance project, EFF has found more than 35 law enforcement agencies that use advanced video analytics technology. That number is steadily growing as we discover new vendors, contracts, and capabilities. To better understand how this software works, who uses it, and what it’s capable of, EFF has acquired a number of user manuals. And yes, they are even scarier than we thought.
Briefcam, which is often packaged with Genetec video technology, is frequently used at real-time crime centers. These are police surveillance facilities that aggregate camera footage and other surveillance information from across a jurisdiction. Dozens of police departments use Briefcam to search through hours of footage from multiple cameras in order to, for instance, narrow in on a particular face or a specific colored backpack. This power of video analytic software would be particularly scary if used to identify people out practicing their First Amendment right to protest.
Avigilon systems are a bit more opaque, since they are often sold to business, which aren’t subject to the same transparency laws. In San Francisco, for instance, Avigilon provides the cameras and software for at least six business improvement districts (BIDs) and Community Benefit Districts (CBDs). These districts blanket neighborhoods in surveillance cameras and relay the footage back to a central control room. Avigilon’s video analytics can undertake object identification (such as whether things are cars and people), license plate reading, and potentially face recognition.
You can read the Avigilon user manual here, and the Briefcam manual here. The latter was obtained through the California Public Records Act by Dylan Kubeny, a student journalist at the University of Nevada, Reno Reynolds School of Journalism.
But what exactly are these software systems’ capabilities? Here’s what we learned:
Pick a Face, Track a Face, Rate a Face
If you’re watching video footage on Briefcam, you can select any face, then add it to a “watchlist.” Then, with a few more clicks, you can retrieve every piece of video you have with that person’s face in it.
Briefcam assigns all face images 1-3 stars. One star: the AI can’t even recognize it as a person. Two stars: medium confidence. Three stars: high confidence.
Detection of Unusual Events
Avigilon has a pair of algorithms that it uses to predict what it calls “unusual events.”
The first can detect “unusual motions,” essentially patterns of pixels that don’t match what you’d normally expect in the scene. It takes two weeks to train this self-learning algorithm. The second can detect “unusual activity” involving cars and people. It only takes a week to train.

Also, there’s “Tampering Detection” which, depending on how you set it, can be triggered by a moving shadow:
Enter a value between 1-10 to select how sensitive a camera is to tampering Events. Tampering is a sudden change in the camera field of view, usually caused by someone unexpectedly moving the camera. Lower the setting if small changes in the scene, like moving shadows, cause tampering events. If the camera is installed indoors and the scene is unlikely to change, you can increase the setting to capture more unusual events.
Pink Hair and Short Sleeves
With Briefcam’s shade filter, a person searching a crowd could filter by the color and length of items of clothing, accessories, or even hair. Briefcam’s manual even states the program can search a crowd or a large collection of footage for someone with pink hair.
In addition, users of BriefCam can search specifically by what a person is wearing and other “personal attributes.” Law enforcement attempting to sift through crowd footage or hours of video could search for someone by specifying blue jeans or a yellow short-sleeved shirt.
Man, Woman, Child, Animal
BriefCam sorts people and objects into specific categories to make them easier for the system to search for. BriefCam breaks people into the three categories of “man,” “woman,” and “child.” Scientific studies show that this type of categorization can misidentify gender nonconforming, nonbinary, trans, and disabled people whose bodies may not conform to the rigid criteria the software looks for when sorting people. Such misidentification can have real-world harms, like triggering misguided investigations or denying access.
The software also breaks down other categories, including distinguishing between different types of vehicles and recognizing animals.
Proximity Alert
In addition to monitoring the total number of objects in a frame or the relative size of objects, BriefCam can detect proximity between people and the duration of their contact. This might make BriefCam a prime candidate for “COVID-19 washing,” or rebranding invasive surveillance technology as a potential solution to the current public health crisis.
Avigilon also claims it can detect skin temperature, raising another possible assertion of public health benefit. But, as we’ve argued before, remote thermal imaging can often be very inaccurate, and fail to detect virus carriers that are asymptomatic.
Public health is a collective effort. Deploying invasive surveillance technologies that could easily be used to monitor protestors and track political figures is likely to breed more distrust of the government. This will make public health collaboration less likely, not more.
Watchlists
One feature available both with Briefcam and Avigilon are watchlists, and we don’t mean a notebook full of names. Instead, the systems allow you to upload folders of faces and spreadsheets of license plates, and then the algorithm will find matches and track the targets’ movement. The underlying watchlists can be extremely problematic. For example, EFF has looked at hundreds of policy documents for automated license plate readers (ALPRs) and it is very rare for an agency to describe the rules for adding someone to a watchlist.
Vehicles Worldwide
Often, ALPRs are associated with England, the birthplace of the technology, and the United States, where it has metastasized. But Avigilon already has its sights set on new markets and has programmed its technology to identify license plates across six continents.
It’s worth noting that Avigilon is owned by Motorola Solutions, the same company that operates the infamous ALPR provider Vigilant Solutions.
Conclusion
We’re heading into a dangerous time. The lack of oversight of police acquisition and use of surveillance technology has dangerous consequences for those misidentified or caught up in the self-fulfilling prophecies of AI policing.
In fact, Dr. Rashall Brackney, the Charlottesville Police Chief, described these video analytics as perpetuating racial bias at a recent panel. Video analytics “are often incorrect,” she said. “Over and over they create false positives in identifying suspects.”
This new era of video analytics capabilities causes at least two problems. First, police could rely more and more on this secretive technology to dictate who to investigate and arrest by, for instance, identifying the wrong hooded and backpacked suspect. Second, people who attend political or religious gatherings will justifiably fear being identified, tracked, and punished.
Over a dozen cities across the United States have banned government use of face recognition, and that’s a great start. But this only goes so far. Surveillance companies are already planning ways to get around these bans by using other types of video analytic tools to identify people. Now is the time to push for more comprehensive legislation to defend our civil liberties and hold police accountable.
