Community platform Nextdoor is going to great lengths to become the go-to app to snitch on your neighbors.
According to a CityLab article, Nextdoor is showering law enforcement with all-expenses paid vacations to their headquarters in San Francisco, California all in an effort to gain law enforcement acceptance and put police on Public Agency Advisory Councils.
Charles Husted, the chief of police in Sedona, Arizona, couldn’t contain his excitement. He had just been accepted into the Public Agencies Advisory Council for Nextdoor, the neighborhood social networking app.
At a time when most Americans are concerned with just surviving the COVID-19 pandemic, Nextdoor views it as an opportunity to influence law enforcement and local politics.
As part of the chosen group, he would be flown to San Francisco on President’s Day, along with seven other community engagement staffers from police departments and city offices across the country. Over two days, they’d meet at Nextdoor’s headquarters to discuss the social network’s public agency strategy. Together, the plan was, they’d stay at the Hilton Union Square, eat and drink at Cultivar, share a tour of Chinatown, and receive matching Uniqlo jackets. All costs — a projected $16,900 for the group, according to a schedule sent to participants — were covered by Nextdoor.
Exactly what Nextdoor includes in their law enforcement paid vacations is protected by a corporate non-disclosure agreement. But you can be sure it isn’t just a trip to their headquarters.
Nextdoor’s excuse for influencing law enforcement and advisory councils is to allegedly “help [public agency] partners to share their expertise and experiences with each other and our product development team.”
Activist Post Recommended Book: Snitch Culture: How Citizens Are Turned Into The Eyes And Ears Of The State
If you look past Nextdoor’s lame excuse to shower law enforcement with gifts, you see the real reason behind what they are doing.
Since the Covid-19 crisis began in the U.S. at the beginning of March, Nextdoor says the volume of posts by public agencies has tripled. Along with his daily press conferences, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been posting occasionally on the site as part of Nextdoor’s new partnership with the National Governors Association.
The article goes on to say that Nextdoor’s plan is to shamelessly follow in Amazon Ring’s footsteps by cozing up to law enforcement and influencing government officials. Nextdoors goal is “to earn the trust of more public agencies, and to eventually pitch a paid version of the app.”
The real reason Nextdoor is schmoozing with law enforcement and influencing advisory councils is to make them more profitable than the $2.1 billion dollars they are currently worth.
As Slate revealed, Nextdoor is more than happy Americans are using their platform to snitch on each other for not social distancing.
“If there are kids outside, getting more than adequate exercise time, and basically goofing around,” a concerned Nextdoor user in Cherry Hill Village, Michigan, asked in a recent post on the hyperlocal social network, “is there something that can be done?”
Social distancing complaints on the rise during pandemic
A recent WCPO 9 article revealed that since the COVID-19 outbreak, social distancing complaints on Nextdoor and to the police have skyrocketed.
“I wish I could say everything was warm and fuzzy, but that would be lying,” Jenn Takahashi, the proprietor of the Twitter account @BestofNextdoor said. It’s not so much that people are being better or worse than usual; it’s more that human nature is to judge and police others, and so this persists even—especially?—in times of crisis.
The Chicago Tribune reports that neighbors are using Nextdoor to snitch on each other “with a sense of duty.” Rewire.org said, the snitch or “call-out culture is based in rage and there is no empathy involved.”
Activist Post Recommended Book: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism
The article further explained that neighbors attempted to justify snitching on each other by saying they are the call-in culture.
“Calling-in is when you express concern about what someone is saying but you do it in as respectful a fashion as you can,” activist Loretta Tomes said.
It does not matter what people refer to it by. Snitching, calling out your neighbor or calling-in only sows distrust in our communities, while Big Tech worries about who will become the next multi-billion dollar company.
Finding a cure for COVID-19 should not be entrusted to Apple-Google, Amazon, Nextdoor, DoorDash, Clear Biometrics, or any other Big Tech corporations whose only interest lies in making their shareholders more money.

The world’s largest airline trade group has called for immunity passports, thermal screening, masks, and physical distancing to be a part of the industry’s strategy for returning to “normal” operations.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA), which represents 299 airlines, recently issued their publication, Biosecurity for Air Transport A Roadmap for Restarting Aviation, which outlines their strategy to open up air travel as governments begin to lift travel restrictions.
Under a section titled, “The passenger experience” and “Temporary biosecurity measures,” the IATA describes their vision of post-COVID-19 flights. The organization calls for contact tracing, a controversial method of tracking the civilian population to track the spread of COVID-19.
“We foresee the need to collect more detailed passenger contact information which can be used for tracing purposes,” the report states. “Where possible, the data should be collected in electronic form, and in advance of the passenger arriving at the airport including through eVisa and electronic travel authorization platforms.”
Interestingly, this call for pre-boarding check-in using “electronic travel authorization platforms” coincides with the recent announcement of the Covi-Pass and the Health Pass from Clear, both of which call for a digital ID system using biometrics and storing travel, health, and identification data.
Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s CEO, told Arabian Industry that “a layered approach” combining multiple measures which are “globally implemented and mutually recognized by governments” are “the way forward for biosecurity.”
The IATA also calls for temperature screening at entry points to airport terminals. They envision the airline experience involving physical distancing of 3-6 feet throughout the airport. The group believes changes to the airport buildings to allow for physical distancing may be necessary. The IATA also recommended “face coverings” for passengers and protective equipment for airline and airport staff.
Although the organization acknowledged that there is not currently a fast reliable test for COVID-19, they believe that once an effective test is developed it could be applied on entry to the terminal. They call for this measure to be “incorporated into the passenger process as soon as an effective test, validated by the medical community, has been developed.”
On the topic of immunity passports — an idea discussed by Anthony Fauci, the World Health Organization, and Bill Gates — the IATA states that “immunity passports could play an important role in further facilitating the restart of air travel.” The organization believes that if a person is shown to have recovered from COVID-19 and developed immunity they will not need protective measures. Once medical evidence supports the possibility of immunity to COVID-19, IATA believes “it is essential that a recognized global standard be introduced, and that corresponding documents be made available electronically.”
Finally, the IATA believes a “general move towards greater use of touchless technology and biometrics should also be pursued.” Biometrics would include facial recognition, retina scanning, and/or thumbprints.
This vision painted by the IATA is one where those who choose to fly are faced with invasive security measures, surveillance, biometric tracking, immunity passports, temperature screenings, and generally, less human contact due to physical distancing and less communication with actual people. Of course, this push towards a digital ID which contains an individual’s personal identifying information, health records, and other personal data is part of an agenda which predates COVID-19. The “powers that wish they were” are taking every opportunity to expand their technocratic control grid and the panic caused by COVID-19 allows them to accelerate their plans at a rate not seen since the days after the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The only thing stopping the roll out of this Technocratic State is the people of the world coming together, informing those who are in the dark, and unplugging from this control grid.

activistpost--2020-05-27--COVID-19 “CARES Act” Bankrolls AI Post-Human Education: DeVos, Thiel, Phase 2 of Project BEST

In 1982 , former Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement for the US Department of Education , Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt , blew the whistle on the Reagan Administration ’ s Project BEST ( Better Education Skills through Technology ) : a techno-fascist plan to privatize the American school system by selling it out to Big Tech corporations that deliver B. F. Skinner ’ s operant-conditioning method of “ programmed instruction ” through computerized “ teaching machines.
” Almost thirty years later , the “ Coronavirus Aid , Relief , and Economic Security ( CARES ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flood of federal education funds into online charter school corporations , such as K12 Inc. , KIPP , and Connections Academy , which deploy “ adaptive learning ” software that replace human teachers with artificial-intelligence courseware programmed with “ Skinner-box ” cognitive-behavioral algorithms geared to condition students for workforce training .
As teachers and students are forced to convert their coursework to online platforms during the COVID-19 lockdown , the CARES Act is creating deregulatory loopholes to expand the federal funding of adaptive-learning courseware delivered by online education corporations such as K12 Inc. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Education Betsy DeVos ) and Connections Academy ( which is owned by the globalist Pearson Education PLC : the “ world ’ s largest education company ” ) .
According to a press release from the US Department of Education , “ [ t ] he new flexibilities , authorized under the Coronavirus Aid , Relief , and Economic Security ( CARES ) Act , allow schools to repurpose existing K-12 education funds for technology infrastructure and teacher training on distance learning.
” In particular , “ [ t ] he CARES Act @ @ @ @ @ @ @ school districts to devote more of their federal resources to technology infrastructure to support distance learning for students and for professional development for teachers who are teaching remotely.
” In brief , the emergency CARES Act authorizes schools to restructure their budgets by diverting funding for brick-and-mortar infrastructure and then reallocating those funds into new “ technology infrastructure ” expenses that pay for “ distance learning ” software delivered by online edu-companies .
At the same time , schools can procure more federal stimulus money by applying for CARES Act grants that fall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infrastructure ” geared toward “ distance learning.
” Hence , the CARES Act incentivizes schools to increase their eligibility for more federal relief money by applying for grants that pay schools to “ upgrade ” their virtual campuses with commercial “ adaptive learning ” software , such as Smart Sparrow and Knewton , which have both been financed by the Pearson Corporation .
To be sure , these ed-tech provisions in the CARES Act are written to favor online edu-corporations like the Knowledge Is Power Program ( KIPP ) , which deploys adaptive-learning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the latter of which has been bankrolled by Bilderberger Peter Thiel : Trump ’ s “ shadow president ” who has also invested in Knewton .
AI Adaptive Learning Is a Post-Humanism : From Social Distancing to Distance Learning While these CARES Act incentives funnel money into online ed-tech corporations , the new “ Proposed Rules ” for federal “ Distance Learning and Innovation ” ( 85 FR 18638 ) have been drafted to streamline federal funding for “ competency-based ” “ adaptive learning ” through “ subscription-based ” “ artificial intelligence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” without input from a human teacher .
In brief , this litany of jargon is a recipe for economically checkmating locked-down schools into competing for federal CARES Act funds to pay for online edu-corporations that substitute human teachers with adaptive-learning courseware modules which automate “ direct instruction ” through AI on a monthly “ subscription ” basis that can be rolled over indefinitely until the student completes all the course modules necessary to earn “ competency ” certificates at his or her own pace .
• Competency-Based Education : CBE refers to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ learn faster or slower depending on his or her “ competence.
” 85 FR 18638 states , “ CBE programs .
.
.
measure student progress based on their demonstration of specific competencies rather than sitting in a seat or at a computer for a prescribed period of time .
Many CBE programs are designed to permit students to learn at their own pace.
” Self-paced CBE enrollment is being promoted so that students who are struggling to adjust to online learning during COVID lockdown will be able to spend more time completing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they miss coursework due dates .
• Subscription-Based Learning : To facilitate self-paced CBE , the new federal “ Distance Learning ” rules provide legal flexibility to extend course deadlines by converting credit hours on a semester enrollment basis to competency certificates on a monthly subscription basis .
85 FR 18638 proposes more efficient channels for federal financing of “ students enrolled in competency-based programs on a subscription basis ” in order to fuel the “ [ e ] xpansion of subscription-based programs [ which ] provides students with the scheduling flexibility they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ struggle to reschedule life under virtual house arrest .
CBE subscription fees can be paid for as many months as the student needs to complete all the online course modules required to earn his or her competency certificate .
• Adaptive-Learning Courseware : The self-pacing of online CBE subscriptions is further “ personalized ” by servicing students with 24-hour access to instant automated feedback from “ adaptive learning ” software , which is defined by 85 FR 18638 as “ artificial intelligence ” that “ teaches ” students with “ feedback from technology-mediated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Desire2Learn ’ s Brightspace LeaP , is a digital version of B. F. Skinner ’ s “ teaching machine , ” which automates operant-conditioning methods of stimulus-response animal training .
With 24/7 access to “ Skinner box ” methods of “ programmed instruction ” through AI automation , students can personalize the self-pacing of their own course progress as they can upload the adaptive-learning software anytime , anyplace , without having to wait for a human instructor to be available .
85 FR 18638 states , “ [ w ] ith the introduction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a student enrolled in distance education is likely to be learning at his or her own pace ” as ed-tech is “ increasingly using analytics to identify struggling or accelerated learners in order to refer them to .
.
.
additional adaptive learning experiences to support their learning needs.
” • AI Deregulation : If adaptive-learning software is more convenient and efficient than a human teacher , why not “ outsource ” the entire profession of human teaching to a digital faculty of artificially intelligent bots ?
The new “ Proposed Rules ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ academic engagement ” so that it “ need not be exclusively with a human instructor.
” The new rules on “ Innovation ” also “ remove barriers ” to AI ed-tech progress by allowing educational institutions the “ flexibility ” to effectively write blank checks for new AI courseware programs without prior regulatory approval from the Department of Ed .
As AI teacher-bots , such as IBM ’ s Watson , are programmed to get progressively “ smarter ” as they evolve over time through “ machine learning , ” 85 FR @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Watson and other AI bots to “ move forward ” with the development of humanoid “ artificial general intelligence ( AGI ) ” that can completely replace human teachers “ without undue risk of a negative program finding or other sanction.
” It should be noted that a Government Relations representative of the IBM Corporation , Edgar McCulloch , sat on the “ Accreditation and Innovation negotiating committee ” which helped draft these proposed rules .
It should also be noted that IBM ’ s Watson partners with the globalist Pearson Education .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ are being touted to purportedly accommodate students during this virtual-online overhaul of the locked-down school system by expanding CBE curriculums so that course deadlines can be rolled over by converting credit enrollment into competency subscriptions .
Due to physical classroom capacity and human staffing limitations , brick-and-mortar classes can not indefinitely roll over student registration on a monthly subscription basis , which means brick-and-mortar schools are being cornered into permanently converting to virtual-online campuses in order to become eligible for more CARES Act money that subsidizes subscription CBE curriculums .
At the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ classes can not provide 24/7 instruction to fully “ personalize ” the self-pacing of every student ’ s CBE curriculum , which means online schools will be encouraged to “ hire ” adaptive-learning AI instead of human beings .
In the final equation , online schools will have an unfair advantage to rake in federal CARES Act funds for replacing human teachers with artificial intelligence while brick-and-mortar schools and human instructors are rendered obsolete as they are held hostage by the economic lockdown without the ability to fairly compete for stimulus money from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Project BEST : The Department of Ed in Bed with Ed-Tech Corporations To set up the institutionalization of Skinnerian adaptive-learning computers , the Association for Educational Computing and Technology ( AECT ) was awarded an $ 855,282 federal grant in 1981 to implement Project BEST ( Better Education Skills through Technology ) , which laid out the blueprint for the public-private techno-fascist schooling system that is currently being rammed through by the CARES Act and 85 FR 1863 under the duress of COVID-19 lockdown .
Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt blew the whistle on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she was the Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement for the US Department of Education under the Ronald Reagan Administration .
Iserbyt leaked several internal documents from the Department of Ed pertaining to Project BEST , such as an informational brochure that states , “ Project BEST is a cooperative effort involving both the federal , state , and local government and the private sector in the planning and use of modern information technologies to improve the effectiveness of basic skills , teaching and learning.
” This document @ @ @ @ @ @ @ buoyed by President Reagan ’ s Task Force on Private Sector Initiatives , spent almost one million dollars of federal tax revenues on public-private political-economic plans to plug students into Skinnerian IT computers that psycho-behaviorally condition learning outcomes to fulfill job quotas for corporate-technocratic workforce planning .
Project BEST was pushed by President Reagan ’ s Secretary of Education , Terrel Howard Bell , who was formerly the US Commissioner of Education , which headed up the Office of Education of the Department of Health , Education , and Welfare ( HEW ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its own separate Department under President Jimmy Carter in 1979 .
At the end of Reagan ’ s first term as President , Secretary T. H. Bell passed the technocratic teaching torch to his successor , Education Secretary William Bennet , who later went on to co-found the K12 Inc .
Corporation until he had to resign from the online schooling company after public backlash from racist eugenics comments he made on his conservative talk radio show , Bill Bennet ’ s Morning in America .
It should be noted that Secretary Bennet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who would become a key financer of adaptive-learning courseware such as Clever and Knewton .
According to a Freedom of Information Act report , on July 19 , 2017 , Thiel met privately at his “ Residence ” with the current Secretary of Ed , Betsy DeVos , who was also a key investor in Bennet ’ s K12 Inc. , although she divested her shares in the online edu-company before taking her cabinet seat under President Trump .
It should also be noted that DeVos has spent millions of dollars bankrolling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her cronies at the American Legislative Exchange Council ( ALEC ) , who created the Virtual Public Schools Act : a template bill which lawmakers use to draft boilerplate legislation establishing “ virtual schools ” that deliver instruction “ via the Internet in a virtual or remote setting.
” In sum , Billionaire Betsy DeVos and her Bilderberg crony , Peter Thiel , are carrying the torch for former Secretaries Bell and Bennet as DeVos capitalizes on the COVID-19 lockdown to ram through the next phase of Project BEST .

F.

As teachers and students are forced to convert their coursework to online platforms during the COVID-19 lockdown, the CARES Act is creating deregulatory loopholes to expand the federal funding of adaptive-learning courseware delivered by online education corporations such as K12 Inc.

AI Adaptive Learning Is a Post-Humanism: From Social Distancing to Distance Learning
While these CARES Act incentives funnel money into online ed-tech corporations, the new “Proposed Rules” for federal “Distance Learning and Innovation” (85 FR 18638) have been drafted to streamline federal funding for “competency-based” “adaptive learning” through “subscription-based” “artificial intelligence” that carries out “direct instruction” without input from a human teacher.

CBE subscription fees can be paid for as many months as the student needs to complete all the online course modules required to earn his or her competency certificate. Adaptive-Learning Courseware: The self-pacing of online CBE subscriptions is further “personalized” by servicing students with 24-hour access to instant automated feedback from “adaptive learning” software, which is defined by 85 FR 18638 as “artificial intelligence” that “teaches” students with “feedback from technology-mediated instruction.” Adaptive-learning software, such as Desire2Learn’s Brightspace LeaP, is a digital version of B. F. Skinner’s “teaching machine,” which automates operant-conditioning methods of stimulus-response animal training. With 24/7 access to “Skinner box” methods of “programmed instruction” through AI automation, students can personalize the self-pacing of their own course progress as they can upload the adaptive-learning software anytime, anyplace, without having to wait for a human instructor to be available. 85 FR 18638 states, “[w]ith the introduction of adaptive learning . . . , a student enrolled in distance education is likely to be learning at his or her own pace” as ed-tech is “increasingly using analytics to identify struggling or accelerated learners in order to refer them to . . . additional adaptive learning experiences to support their learning needs.”

The new “Proposed Rules” redefine the legal terms and conditions for “academic engagement” so that it “need not be exclusively with a human instructor.” The new rules on “Innovation” also “remove barriers” to AI ed-tech progress by allowing educational institutions the “flexibility” to effectively write blank checks for new AI courseware programs without prior regulatory approval from the Department of Ed. As AI teacher-bots, such as IBM’s Watson, are programmed to get progressively “smarter” as they evolve over time through “machine learning,” 85 FR 18638 greenlights “future innovations” for Watson and other AI bots to “move forward” with the development of humanoid “artificial general intelligence (AGI)” that can completely replace human teachers “without undue risk of a negative program finding or other sanction.” It should be noted that a Government Relations representative of the IBM Corporation, Edgar McCulloch, sat on the “Accreditation and Innovation negotiating committee” which helped draft these proposed rules. It should also be noted that IBM’s Watson partners with the globalist Pearson Education.
In sum, these emergency COVID deregulations are being touted to purportedly accommodate students during this virtual-online overhaul of the locked-down school system by expanding CBE curriculums so that course deadlines can be rolled over by converting credit enrollment into competency subscriptions. Due to physical classroom capacity and human staffing limitations, brick-and-mortar classes cannot indefinitely roll over student registration on a monthly subscription basis, which means brick-and-mortar schools are being cornered into permanently converting to virtual-online campuses in order to become eligible for more CARES Act money that subsidizes subscription CBE curriculums. At the same time, human instructors who teach online classes cannot provide 24/7 instruction to fully “personalize” the self-pacing of every student’s CBE curriculum, which means online schools will be encouraged to “hire” adaptive-learning AI instead of human beings. In the final equation, online schools will have an unfair advantage to rake in federal CARES Act funds for replacing human teachers with artificial intelligence while brick-and-mortar schools and human instructors are rendered obsolete as they are held hostage by the economic lockdown without the ability to fairly compete for stimulus money from the CARES Act.
The Techno-Fascist History of Project BEST: The Department of Ed in Bed with Ed-Tech Corporations
To set up the institutionalization of Skinnerian adaptive-learning computers, the Association for Educational Computing and Technology (AECT) was awarded an $855,282 federal grant in 1981 to implement Project BEST (Better Education Skills through Technology), which laid out the blueprint for the public-private techno-fascist schooling system that is currently being rammed through by the CARES Act and 85 FR 1863 under the duress of COVID-19 lockdown.
Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt blew the whistle on this corporate-technocratic education initiative in 1982 when she was the Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement for the US Department of Education under the Ronald Reagan Administration. Iserbyt leaked several internal documents from the Department of Ed pertaining to Project BEST, such as an informational brochure that states, “Project BEST is a cooperative effort involving both the federal, state, and local government and the private sector in the planning and use of modern information technologies to improve the effectiveness of basic skills, teaching and learning.” This document reveals that Project BEST, which was buoyed by President Reagan’s Task Force on Private Sector Initiatives, spent almost one million dollars of federal tax revenues on public-private political-economic plans to plug students into Skinnerian IT computers that psycho-behaviorally condition learning outcomes to fulfill job quotas for corporate-technocratic workforce planning.
Project BEST was pushed by President Reagan’s Secretary of Education, Terrel Howard Bell, who was formerly the US Commissioner of Education, which headed up the Office of Education of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) before the Office of Education was assigned its own separate Department under President Jimmy Carter in 1979. At the end of Reagan’s first term as President, Secretary T. H. Bell passed the technocratic teaching torch to his successor, Education Secretary William Bennet, who later went on to co-found the K12 Inc. Corporation until he had to resign from the online schooling company after public backlash from racist eugenics comments he made on his conservative talk radio show, Bill Bennet’s Morning in America.
It should be noted that Secretary Bennet’s speech writer was Peter Thiel, who would become a key financer of adaptive-learning courseware such as Clever and Knewton. According to a Freedom of Information Act report, on July 19, 2017, Thiel met privately at his “Residence” with the current Secretary of Ed, Betsy DeVos, who was also a key investor in Bennet’s K12 Inc., although she divested her shares in the online edu-company before taking her cabinet seat under President Trump. It should also be noted that DeVos has spent millions of dollars bankrolling virtual charter schools with the help of her cronies at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), who created the Virtual Public Schools Act: a template bill which lawmakers use to draft boilerplate legislation establishing “virtual schools” that deliver instruction “via the Internet in a virtual or remote setting.”
In sum, Billionaire Betsy DeVos and her Bilderberg crony, Peter Thiel, are carrying the torch for former Secretaries Bell and Bennet as DeVos capitalizes on the COVID-19 lockdown to ram through the next phase of Project BEST.

RICHMOND , Va. ( May 26 , 2020 ) – Last week , Virginia Gov .

RICHMOND, Va. (May 26, 2020) – Last week, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam gave final approval to a bill to decriminalize marijuana possession with a recommended amendment despite federal prohibition.
A bipartisan coalition of senators and representatives introduced House Bill 972 (HB972) and Senate Bill 2 (SB2) earlier this year. Under the law, marijuana will remain illegal in the state, but possession of up to an ounce of cannabis will now be a civil infraction subject to a $25 fine instead of a criminal offense. Under the old law, possession of a half-ounce or less is punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. Possession of hash and other concentrates is a felony.
The legislation also includes provisions to seal the records of past and future marijuana convictions and bars most employers from asking about marijuana convictions in the hiring process.
The bill took a winding path to final approval.
Different versions of the bill were initially passed by the House and the Senate leading to a conference committee. The Senate passed the final version 27-12 and the House approved the measure 56-36. Gov. Northam gave his approval to the measure on April 11, but he recommended amendments, including one that would push the date of a legislative study on the legalization of marijuana back one year to November 2021. The legislature rejected the delay, but approved other technical amendments, sending the bill back to the governor. On May 21, Northam signed the bill and it will go into effect July 1.
Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-Alexandria) carried the bill in the Senate. He said the enactment of the law would be good news for thousands of Virginians.
This means close to 30,000 people a year will no longer be labeled as criminals and no longer will suffer the negative repercussions of a criminal conviction.
According to a point-in-time study included in a State Crime Commission report, there were 127 people being held in Virginia jails solely on marijuana charges on one day in July 2017.
While the enactment of HB972/SB2 will not end marijuana prohibition in Virginia, it will drastically reduce prosecution and disincentivize enforcement efforts.
EFFECT ON FEDERAL PROHIBITION
Under the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA) passed in 1970, the federal government maintains complete prohibition of marijuana. Of course, the federal government lacks any constitutional authority to ban or regulate cannabis within the borders of a state, despite the opinion of the politically connected lawyers on the Supreme Court. If you doubt this, ask yourself why it took a constitutional amendment to institute federal alcohol prohibition.
Despite federal prohibition, Virginia legalized medical marijuana in 2018 and expanded the program last year. Decriminalization of marijuana would remove yet another layer of laws punishing the possession and use of marijuana in the state, but federal prohibition would remain in effect. This is significant because FBI statistics show that law enforcement makes approximately 99 of 100 marijuana arrests under state, not federal law. When states stop enforcing marijuana laws, they sweep away most of the basis for 99 percent of marijuana arrests.
Furthermore, figures indicate it would take 40 percent of the DEA’s yearly-budget just to investigate and raid all of the dispensaries in Los Angeles – a single city in a single state. That doesn’t include the cost of prosecution. The lesson? The feds lack the resources to enforce marijuana prohibition without state assistance.
A GROWING MOVEMENT
Virginia joins a growing number of states increasingly ignoring federal prohibition, and nullifying it in practice.
Colorado, Washington state, Oregon and Alaska were the first states to legalize recreational cannabis, and California, Nevada, Maine and Massachusetts joined them after ballot initiatives in favor of legalization passed in November 2016. Michigan followed suit when voters legalized cannabis for general use in 2018. Vermont became the first state to legalize marijuana through a legislative act in 2018. Illinois followed suit in 2019.
With 33 states including allowing cannabis for medical use, the feds find themselves in a position where they simply can’t enforce prohibition anymore.
The lesson here is pretty straightforward. When enough people say, ‘No!’ to the federal government, and enough states pass laws backing those people up, there’s not much the feds can do to shove their so-called laws, regulations or mandates down our throats.
The push to decriminalize marijuana in Virginia underscores another important strategic reality. Once a state legalizes marijuana – even if only in a very limited way – it tends to eventually expand. As the state tears down some barriers, markets develop and demand expands. That creates pressure to further relax state law. These new laws represent a further erosion of unconstitutional federal marijuana prohibition.

activistpost--2020-05-26--How To Sue Your Governor

How To Sue Your Governor

Over the past month of advocating for civil disobedience against the corona ban , I ’ ve received many requests on how a person goes about suing the government .
A wonderful and fitting article about being civilly disobedient ran at the American Institute for Economic Research entitled “ Why Aren ’ t Americans Suing Their Way Out Of Lockdown ?
” That article , by Robert E. Wright , presents a legal framework for why more lawsuits should take place .
Below , I ’ m going to offer a framework for HOW to make that happen .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawsuits tomorrow , it would be a great thing .
I once had the joy of suing the government in a manner similar to this one .
Alternately , if even just one key test case is brought before the courts successfully , as Wright describes in his piece , it could have a tremendous impact that ripples through the country .
I ’ m not deluding myself into thinking that the government judiciary will free America from government tyranny , but once in a while they require a tyrant to explain himself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and occasionally act as a tool to help right wrongs .
If you think you have been harmed by the corona bans , below are some first steps that can be taken to help set that lawsuit into motion .
Step 1 : Decide : Pro Se , Public Interest & Pro Bono , Or Your Own Private Attorney “ Pro se ” means you represent yourself .
A lot of people have a lot of fun doing that .
You learn a lot about the process .
Though I think it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ m not convinced it is right for this pressing , emergency topic .
If you decide you ’ d like to do this pro se , the rest of the article is irrelevant , so please get to work on that and Godspeed .
May you have the greatest of success .
For the rest of you , I ’ ll continue .
Public interest lawyers seek cases that have a benefit that goes beyond just one person .
They tend to seek a grave government injustice that needs overturning .
Sometimes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ client , or “ pro bono.
” I believe on this topic , there are many lawyers out there who will take a case pro bono if asked .
Many more attorneys will take this case for money .
There may be a lower level of philosophical commitment in that situation and a higher level of economic commitment .
I would suggest starting by seeking a pro bono attorney and keeping track of the paid attorneys you encounter along the way with a noted interest in your specific case , in case you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and fund the case yourself .
Simple spreadsheets are good for this .
Pads of paper are useful , but not great , because URLs can be long .
You ’ ll want columns for the lawyer name , URL , phone number , dates you ’ ve reached out , and responses .
Everything you learn during your search should end up in your spreadsheet , because having everything in one place will make the succeeding steps easier .
During this next step , you are aiming to find a broad selection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are adding anyone who might take the case to your list , regardless of whatever downsides there might be to working with them .
The longer the list made in this step , the better .
Are There Authors Or Legal Theorists You Like ?
If you have a favorite author on this topic who has a law degree , chances are he knows other lawyers with a passion for this topic .
Reach out .
Ask for a referral .
Though the list is from 2011 , Walter Block compiled a fantastic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ toward the end of the linked post that can serve as a useful reference .
Constitutional lawyer Robert Barnes has been active in the media on Covid-19 overreach .
His firm may take an interest in representing you .
Are There Cases You Have Followed ?
There might be notable public interest cases you ’ ve heard of .
They may have taken place a few years back .
See if you can find the lawyers who were involved with those cases .
There could be a lawyer , whose work you respect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ courts to gets things done .
Reach out .
You likely know lawyers personally .
Tell them what you plan to do , ask them if they know anyone who might be interested .
Send them a version of your letter from the step below .
If you feel like a request to represent you is too bold , you can ask “ Do you happen to know a lawyer who could represent me in a lawsuit against the lockdown orders ” or “ Might you be able to refer me to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawsuit against the lockdown orders.
” You likely know non-lawyers who know lawyers .
Check with them too .
People who share your passion about this topic are probably going to be better to reach out to than those who have been on Next Door snitching on neighbors and calling for 18-month rolling lockdowns .
See this .
Try to make sure that anyone you reach out to goes into your spreadsheet .
Using your network is probably forty to fifty times more effective , for the average person , than reaching out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawyers through a cold process as well .
Examples Of Public Interest Lawyers Who May Take An Interest In Your Corona Case Institute for Justice has at least one member of their staff who has taken an interest in the topic of corona bans and invites people to submit details , like the letter above to their “ report abuse , ” section of their website , which is the page dedicated to asking IJ for legal assistance on a matter .
The Thomas Moore Law Center focuses on family values , life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ the Christian response to the ACLU.
” Southeastern Legal Foundation is a public interest law firm and policy center that advocates for limited government , individual liberty , free enterprise .
Pacific Justice Institute advocates for the defense of religious freedom , parental rights , and other civil liberties .
The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund seeks to make sure cases get heard not only at the local level , but also at the appellate level , a useful niche for helping to combat bad policy .
Landmark Legal Foundation is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such as limited government , separation of powers , and federalism .
American Civil Liberties Union has a network of staffed offices in every state , Washington DC , and Puerto Rico .
Their local affiliates can be contacted directly to see if a case is of interest .
The ACLU has at least one lawsuit seeking to overturn a corona ban .
Rather than a central office determining what cases they will take , if you contact your local ACLU chapter , you can find out if they would 1 . )
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ send a referral out to their referral network .
Judicial Watch mainly uses litigation to help uncover government malfeasance .
In preparation for this piece , they notified me by phone that they were not presently interested in this topic .
The First Amendment Lawyers Association will distribute your request to their membership from their contact page .
Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit on behalf of Maryville Baptist Church in Louisville and its pastor Jack Roberts against Kentucky Gov .
Andy Beshear for the singling out of his church in a particularly brutal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other businesses nearby had full parking lots and few restrictions .
Liberty Counsel is currently representing pastors in more than 30 states .
The Alliance for Defending Freedom had a recent victory in Kansas with a federal judge ruling to protect churches from a corona ban and Tyson Langhofer of the organization pointing out “ Public safety is important , but so is following the Constitution.
” The Center for American Liberty , is a legal advocacy organization , that is fighting the California lockdown orders on several front , including filing a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week for prohibiting in-person church services , as well as representing an organizer of a San Diego protest against the lockdown .
In Ohio , 1851 Center for Constitutional Law , is bringing a lawsuit on behalf of bridal shop owner Tanya Rutner Hartman , against Ohio Health Director Dr. Amy Acton In US District Court , challenging the constitutionality of ordering her business closed for being non-essential .
The 1851 Center is “ A non-profit , non-partisan law firm dedicated to protecting the constitutional rights of Ohioans from government.
” The state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state-specific organization .
Arizona ’ s Goldwater Institute takes on litigation in Arizona and across the country and has a network of lawyers , the American Freedom Network , for cases that the Goldwater Institute does not take on .
If you are at a loss in identifying a state specific organization , the State Policy Network Membership Directory , may be a good starting place .
In that directory , almost every organization designates a contact person as well as listing an email and phone number for reaching them .
Keep in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strong interest in litigating and , naturally , not all organizations who will take an interest in this topic are included in their membership list .
Many other organizations exist , this is merely a subset .
Every group on the list above has attorneys in their orbit who care deeply about the topics that those groups focus on .
If they don ’ t have someone on staff who wants to work with you , they may be willing to send out information about your request to their network .
That email @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in finding a lawyer .
Keep this in mind .
If in response to a referral request , they say “ Contact your local bar association , ” that is lawyer speak for “ Take a hike , we ’ re not interested.
” Don ’ t take that personally .
Open a search engine , enter your jurisdiction and “ public interest law ” and go from there .
You will find many options and will likely get a response from anywhere between 1-out-of-10 and 1-out-of-50 lawyers who you reach out to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can easily find , others will be more likely to have contact forms that go directly to their intake coordinator .
Step 4 : Create A Form Letter That Says Enough , But Not Too Much Until a lawyer represents you , there ’ s no need to tell them your deepest secrets on this topic .
Keep the form letter short and to the point : you are seeking representation , you see clear precedent , are they interested ?
If you ’ d like a template , something like this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ name , I ’ m looking for a pro bono attorney to represent me on a public interest case regarding the Covid-19 order in my state , ( insert State ) .
The New York Supreme Court has previously ruled against widespread quarantines , establishing a clear precedent in the 1856 New York Supreme Court case The People vs. Peter W. Roff , mentioned by a think tank fellow recently in this linked article .
I wonder if there may be other meaningful precedent on this topic .
Would you be willing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , can you recommend someone who might want to ?
First name Last name For some people , though quite unlikely , it will take just one hour of work to identify an eager lawyer , for others it may take ten hours of work .
In either case , you can get most of that work done today .
You can sit down , and agree that by the three-hour mark , you will have sent 10 emails out to lawyers .
In some situations , you might not follow up for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as you find every minute and every inch of your personal liberty important to you , you resolve that you will give them two days to respond and will go right down that list with a follow up email 48 hours from now .
Since time is of the essence , I recognize why it may not make sense to speak to a few lawyers , but to instead go with the first excited lawyer you encounter .
Every lawyer is going to have a different take on your case .
You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawyer says to you about the case , so that you can bounce ideas off others you speak to .
Most cases don ’ t see the light of day because it is so genuinely difficult to find representation .
Many legitimate cases go unheard .
It really is a matter of you keeping organized and diligently following through .
The corona bans are illegal and unconstitutional .
They are executive and bureaucratic over-reach .
Many lawyers out there will happily take on a case like yours .
Read online reviews .
Ask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is doing you a favor – without them there is no case .

By Allan Stevo
Over the past month of advocating for civil disobedience against the corona ban, I’ve received many requests on how a person goes about suing the government.
A wonderful and fitting article about being civilly disobedient ran at the American Institute for Economic Research entitled “Why Aren’t Americans Suing Their Way Out Of Lockdown?”
That article, by Robert E. Wright, presents a legal framework for why more lawsuits should take place. Below, I’m going to offer a framework for HOW to make that happen. If the courts were inundated with 30 million lawsuits tomorrow, it would be a great thing. I once had the joy of suing the government in a manner similar to this one. Alternately, if even just one key test case is brought before the courts successfully, as Wright describes in his piece, it could have a tremendous impact that ripples through the country.
I’m not deluding myself into thinking that the government judiciary will free America from government tyranny, but once in a while they require a tyrant to explain himself, allow a citizen to redress grievances, and occasionally act as a tool to help right wrongs.
If you think you have been harmed by the corona bans, below are some first steps that can be taken to help set that lawsuit into motion.
Step 1: Decide: Pro Se, Public Interest & Pro Bono, Or Your Own Private Attorney
“Pro se” means you represent yourself. A lot of people have a lot of fun doing that. You learn a lot about the process. Though I think it’s a great education, I’m not convinced it is right for this pressing, emergency topic.
If you decide you’d like to do this pro se, the rest of the article is irrelevant, so please get to work on that and Godspeed. May you have the greatest of success. For the rest of you, I’ll continue.
Public interest lawyers seek cases that have a benefit that goes beyond just one person. They tend to seek a grave government injustice that needs overturning. Sometimes they work free of charge to their client, or “pro bono.” I believe on this topic, there are many lawyers out there who will take a case pro bono if asked.
Many more attorneys will take this case for money. There may be a lower level of philosophical commitment in that situation and a higher level of economic commitment.
I would suggest starting by seeking a pro bono attorney and keeping track of the paid attorneys you encounter along the way with a noted interest in your specific case, in case you decide to reach back out to them and fund the case yourself.
Step 2: Keep Organized
Simple spreadsheets are good for this. Pads of paper are useful, but not great, because URLs can be long. You’ll want columns for the lawyer name, URL, phone number, dates you’ve reached out, and responses. Everything you learn during your search should end up in your spreadsheet, because having everything in one place will make the succeeding steps easier.
Step 3: Identify Potential Lawyers
During this next step, you are aiming to find a broad selection of lawyers. Like brainstorming, you are adding anyone who might take the case to your list, regardless of whatever downsides there might be to working with them. The longer the list made in this step, the better.
Are There Authors Or Legal Theorists You Like?
If you have a favorite author on this topic who has a law degree, chances are he knows other lawyers with a passion for this topic. Reach out. Ask for a referral.
Though the list is from 2011, Walter Block compiled a fantastic, exhaustive list of libertarian legal theorists toward the end of the linked post that can serve as a useful reference.
Constitutional lawyer Robert Barnes has been active in the media on Covid-19 overreach. His firm may take an interest in representing you.
Are There Cases You Have Followed?
There might be notable public interest cases you’ve heard of. They may have taken place a few years back. See if you can find the lawyers who were involved with those cases. There could be a lawyer, whose work you respect, who knows how to use the courts to gets things done. Reach out.
Tap Your Network
You likely know lawyers personally. Tell them what you plan to do, ask them if they know anyone who might be interested. Send them a version of your letter from the step below. If you feel like a request to represent you is too bold, you can ask “Do you happen to know a lawyer who could represent me in a lawsuit against the lockdown orders” or “Might you be able to refer me to a lawyer who could represent me in a lawsuit against the lockdown orders.”
You likely know non-lawyers who know lawyers. Check with them too.
People who share your passion about this topic are probably going to be better to reach out to than those who have been on Next Door snitching on neighbors and calling for 18-month rolling lockdowns. See this.
Try to make sure that anyone you reach out to goes into your spreadsheet. Using your network is probably forty to fifty times more effective, for the average person, than reaching out cold, but you can find available lawyers through a cold process as well.
Examples Of Public Interest Lawyers Who May Take An Interest In Your Corona Case
Institute for Justice has at least one member of their staff who has taken an interest in the topic of corona bans and invites people to submit details, like the letter above to their “report abuse,” section of their website, which is the page dedicated to asking IJ for legal assistance on a matter.
The Thomas Moore Law Center focuses on family values, life, religious freedom, and calls itself “the Christian response to the ACLU.”
Southeastern Legal Foundation is a public interest law firm and policy center that advocates for limited government, individual liberty, free enterprise.
Pacific Justice Institute advocates for the defense of religious freedom, parental rights, and other civil liberties.
The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund seeks to make sure cases get heard not only at the local level, but also at the appellate level, a useful niche for helping to combat bad policy.
Landmark Legal Foundation is a national non-profit law firm preserving constitutional values such as limited government, separation of powers, and federalism.
American Civil Liberties Union has a network of staffed offices in every state, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico. Their local affiliates can be contacted directly to see if a case is of interest.
The ACLU has at least one lawsuit seeking to overturn a corona ban. Rather than a central office determining what cases they will take, if you contact your local ACLU chapter, you can find out if they would 1.) take your case or 2.) send a referral out to their referral network.
Judicial Watch mainly uses litigation to help uncover government malfeasance. In preparation for this piece, they notified me by phone that they were not presently interested in this topic.
The James Madison Center exists to protect free expression.
The First Amendment Lawyers Association will distribute your request to their membership from their contact page.
Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit on behalf of Maryville Baptist Church in Louisville and its pastor Jack Roberts against Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear for the singling out of his church in a particularly brutal enforcement of the corona lockdown, as other businesses nearby had full parking lots and few restrictions. Liberty Counsel is currently representing pastors in more than 30 states.
The Alliance for Defending Freedom had a recent victory in Kansas with a federal judge ruling to protect churches from a corona ban and Tyson Langhofer of the organization pointing out “Public safety is important, but so is following the Constitution.”
The Center for American Liberty, is a legal advocacy organization, that is fighting the California lockdown orders on several front, including filing a lawsuit against Gov. Gavin Newsom last week for prohibiting in-person church services, as well as representing an organizer of a San Diego protest against the lockdown.
In Ohio, 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, is bringing a lawsuit on behalf of bridal shop owner Tanya Rutner Hartman, against Ohio Health Director Dr. Amy Acton In US District Court, challenging the constitutionality of ordering her business closed for being non-essential.
The 1851 Center is “A non-profit, non-partisan law firm dedicated to protecting the constitutional rights of Ohioans from government.” The state you live in may have a similar state-specific organization.
Arizona’s Goldwater Institute takes on litigation in Arizona and across the country and has a network of lawyers, the American Freedom Network, for cases that the Goldwater Institute does not take on.
If you are at a loss in identifying a state specific organization, the State Policy Network Membership Directory, may be a good starting place. In that directory, almost every organization designates a contact person as well as listing an email and phone number for reaching them. Keep in mind that not all members show a strong interest in litigating and, naturally, not all organizations who will take an interest in this topic are included in their membership list. Many other organizations exist, this is merely a subset.
Tap THEIR Referral Network
Every group on the list above has attorneys in their orbit who care deeply about the topics that those groups focus on. If they don’t have someone on staff who wants to work with you, they may be willing to send out information about your request to their network. That email to the network can be very effective in finding a lawyer. Keep this in mind.
If in response to a referral request, they say “Contact your local bar association,” that is lawyer speak for “Take a hike, we’re not interested.” Don’t take that personally.
“Cold Call” Lawyers
Open a search engine, enter your jurisdiction and “public interest law” and go from there. You will find many options and will likely get a response from anywhere between 1-out-of-10 and 1-out-of-50 lawyers who you reach out to. Some will have email addresses that you can easily find, others will be more likely to have contact forms that go directly to their intake coordinator.
Step 4: Create A Form Letter That Says Enough, But Not Too Much
Until a lawyer represents you, there’s no need to tell them your deepest secrets on this topic. Keep the form letter short and to the point: you are seeking representation, you see clear precedent, are they interested?
If you’d like a template, something like this might work:
Dear First name Last name,
I’m looking for a pro bono attorney to represent me on a public interest case regarding the Covid-19 order in my state, (insert State).
The New York Supreme Court has previously ruled against widespread quarantines, establishing a clear precedent in the 1856 New York Supreme Court case The People vs. Peter W. Roff, mentioned by a think tank fellow recently in this linked article. I wonder if there may be other meaningful precedent on this topic.
Would you be willing to represent me?
If you would not, can you recommend someone who might want to?
Thank you.
First name Last name
City, State
Email address
Step 5: Follow Through
For some people, though quite unlikely, it will take just one hour of work to identify an eager lawyer, for others it may take ten hours of work.
In either case, you can get most of that work done today. You can sit down, and agree that by the three-hour mark, you will have sent 10 emails out to lawyers. In some situations, you might not follow up for a week. But in this situation, as you find every minute and every inch of your personal liberty important to you, you resolve that you will give them two days to respond and will go right down that list with a follow up email 48 hours from now.
Step 6: Speak Ideally To A Few Lawyers
Since time is of the essence, I recognize why it may not make sense to speak to a few lawyers, but to instead go with the first excited lawyer you encounter.
Every lawyer is going to have a different take on your case. You want to take notes about everything a lawyer says to you about the case, so that you can bounce ideas off others you speak to.
Most cases don’t see the light of day because it is so genuinely difficult to find representation. Many legitimate cases go unheard. It really is a matter of you keeping organized and diligently following through. The corona bans are illegal and unconstitutional. They are executive and bureaucratic over-reach. Many lawyers out there will happily take on a case like yours.
Step 7: Choose A Lawyer
Read online reviews. Ask the prospective lawyer questions. This lawyer is doing you a favor – without them there is no case. But you are also doing them a favor – without you there is no case. So you are going to want someone who you think will work well with you and who will be a good teammate. In all likelihood they will want you to not participate in much and to mostly be a name on a document.
Will you want regular check ins? Will you want to see the legal drafts and be able to comment? What do they need from you to make this a success? What is their motivation for getting involved? Are they committed to the idea? Are they diligent? Are they knowledgeable about this specific topic? Do they have a record of past successes?
Step 8: Focus On Your Next Instance Of Civil Disobedience

The most important thing is that you get the ball rolling today.
Good luck with this. I’d love to hear how things go for you. Feel free to reach out with additional questions.
