Reports about American Embassy workers being targeted by microwave weapons serves as a great reminder that “Microwave Sickness” has been recognized as a medical illness for several decades (see 1, 2, 3, 4). In fact, last year, the World Health Organization warned that high levels of Electromagnetic Fields (aka “Electrosmog”) could cause health issues in a significant percentage of the population.
Exposure to microwave radiation from common wireless sources like cell towers, utility “Smart” Meters, Bluetooth, Activity Trackers, cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, wireless chargers, etc. can cause illness and injury too.
Slowly but surely more research has determined that American Embassy workers were harmed by microwave energy. Only time will tell if this will make a difference for other Americans already being exposed to dangerous levels of involuntary radiation as well as ongoing U.S. participation in the highly opposed “Race for 5G” (see 1, 2).
From NBC News:
The mysterious neurological symptoms experienced by American diplomats in China and Cuba are consistent with the effects of directed microwave energy, according to a long-awaited report by the National Academies of Sciences that cites medical evidence to support the long-held conviction of American intelligence officials. The report, obtained Friday by NBC News, does not conclude that the directed energy was delivered intentionally, by a weapon, as some U.S. officials have long believed. But it raises that disturbing possibility. The report was transferred to Congress after bipartisan calls led by U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat from New Hampshire who is a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees. She issued the following statement: “The health effects from these mysterious injuries have tormented those afflicted. Their illnesses and suffering are real and demand a response from Congress. American public servants and their families – who have been targeted – have requested that Congress receive and review this report, so I’m glad the State Department heeded our bipartisan call so we can get to work.” Read full article

Lincoln, NH — On the list of arbitrary police state nonsense doled out by tyrants across the country that will get you extorted, kidnapped, or caged over COVID-19, we can now add guitarists sitting too close. Yes, you read that correctly.
According to a report out of Lincoln, New Hampshire, the White Mountain Tavern is being fined $1,000 for allegedly hosting a musical performance last month where two guitarists performed too close together.
The bar hosted a musical show last month and someone apparently snitched on them because the guitarists weren’t properly socially distanced. According to the report, the bar was also fined $2,000 because patrons stood too close to one another while not wearing masks. The horror.
A sign on the bar apparently explains how patrons should conduct themselves.
“Please refer to the Constitution of the United States!” the sign reads. “We know how to wash our hands, clean surfaces and NOT cough or sneeze on people. If you can do that and stay six feet away like someone tooted, please come in!!”
According to police, who issued the fines, they have warned the bar numerous times that they were in violation of social distancing rules. The guitarists sitting too close to one another, was apparently the straw that broke the police state camel’s back.
The bar’s owner, David Culhane, owned up to the fact that this was going on, but said he plans to fight the fines because separate parties were actually socially distanced. He said the fine for the guitarists is unjust because they live together and all the parties sitting close had come together.
“Nobody who didn’t come together was ever closer than six feet from each other,” said Culhane.
“If you go into any restaurant, you can find something where someone is violating the guidelines. A lot of them are really unclear, and they keep changing constantly,” he said. “It’s really hard on top of managing a business to keep up with everything.”

“We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” the WHO’s Special Envoy on COVID-19 said. “Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never, ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer.

We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition.”
In New York alone, thousands of businesses — many of which have been around for decades — have been forced to shutter their doors forever thanks largely in part to government mandates.

US Gov’t Accountability Office 5G Report Cites Challenges with Efficiency, Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Health Risks

Cities worldwide as well as entire countries have banned , delayed , and stopped 5G installation due to health and safety risks .
American opposition continues to increase for a variety of reasons in addition to health and safety risks ( see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ) .

The issue of health effects are NOT mentioned in the video and EHT executive director Theodora Scarato calls it “propaganda by our industry captured government”. See video here and transcript here.
As the GAO report was released just before the Thanksgiving holiday on November 24, 2020, it’’s release generated no media attention however this report will be used by government officials for years.
Dr. Joel Moskowitz
Dr. Joel Moskowitz of the University of California Berkeley posted an analysis of the GAO Report:
“How can these officials ignore the results of the government’s $30 million study which proved that long-term exposure to RFR caused cancer or the Ramazzini Institute study which reproduced these results using much lower intensity RFR? How can they ignore the results of epidemiologic studies that find increased tumor risk among heavier cell phone users?”
“For more than two decades, FDA officials have ignored the lack of consensus in the scientific community regarding the safety of RFR. The majority of scientists who study RFR effects now believe that current RFR national and international safety standards are inadequate to protect our health. More than 240 scientists from 44 countries who have published over 2,000 papers in professional journals on electromagnetic fields (EMF) and biology or health have signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal which calls for stronger safety standards and health warnings.”
“The GAO report also failed to mention the 5G Appeal signed by more than 400 scientists and doctors who have demanded a moratorium on the deployment of 5G.”

GAO Explainer Video
The GAO “explainer” video features Tom Wheeler, former head of the Wireless Industry and FCC Chairman. Notably, health issues are not mentioned in the video.
Since the National Academies of Sciences has determined that American Embassy Workers were definitely harmed by exposure to microwave energy, will this make a difference in American 5G deployment (see 1, 2, 3)? We can only hope so.
Since 2017 doctors and scientists have been asking for moratoriums on deployment on Earth and in space (see 1, 2, 3, 4). Since 2018 there have been reports of people and animals experiencing symptoms and illnesses after 5G has been installed (see 1, 2, 3, 4). In 2019, telecom executives gave U.S. congressional testimony that they had NO scientific evidence that 5G is safe. There is research that has already determined exposure to 5G and other sources of wireless radiation are NOT SAFE. Exposure also affects animals (see 1, 2), insects, and plants.
Last year, the World Health Organization warned that high levels of Electromagnetic Fields (aka “Electrosmog”) could cause health issues in a significant percentage of the population. Electrosmog includes 5G and wireless.
None of the above sounds like it will make America great. Adding insult to injury, Americans have already paid to have access to safer high-speed internet.

activistpost--2020-12-06--What Do You Think Of The New “COVID Vaccination Cards” That Were Just Revealed To The Public?

This is starting to get really frightening .
This week , the U.S. Department of Defense unveiled the very first images of the “ COVID-19 vaccination record cards ” that will be given to every person who gets one of the COVID-19 vaccines .
Now that such a record is going to be available , it is probably inevitable that some schools , businesses and government entities will want to starting requiring people to provide “ proof of vaccination ” .
If this starts to happen , the public needs to protest very loudly against it .
In addition , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that fact will be reported to state immunization registries and to the CDC .
So they will know exactly who has been vaccinated , and that will also know exactly who has not been vaccinated .
The Department of Defense is preparing to distribute millions of “ vaccination kits ” , and every single one of those kits contains a blank COVID-19 vaccination record card .
The following comes from CNN… Obviously this has been the plan the entire time , but they never told the public that this was coming until now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that every time someone gets vaccinated it will be reported directly to the appropriate state immunization registry… “ Everyone will be issued a written card that they can put in their wallet that will tell them what they had and when their next dose is due , ” Moore said .
“ Let ’ s do the simple , easy thing first .
Everyone ’ s going to get that.
” Vaccination clinics will also be reporting to their state immunization registries what vaccine was given , so that , for example , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it didn ’ t know where a patient got a first dose .
So if you get injected , there will be a permanent record of that fact .
And if you don ’ t get injected , they will know that too .
In addition , CNN is also telling us that every single vaccination “ will be reported to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ” .
That means that there will be a centralized national registry for COVID vaccinations .
Needless to say , that should send a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government officials decide to crack down on those that have refused to get vaccinated , they will have all of the information that they need at their fingertips .
This is anti-American , and our “ conservative ” politicians in Washington should be fighting against this .
But so far , I haven ’ t heard a single one of them object to this plan .
Hopefully that will change soon .
Meanwhile , politicians on the left continue to push the envelope .
For example , Joe Biden just announced that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a mask for the first 100 days of his presidency… In California , Governor Gavin Newsom has revealed that regional “ stay-at-home ” orders are about to go into effect throughout much of the state… Of course it is inevitable that these new lockdowns will destroy thousands of businesses and will cause the suicide rate in the state to shoot up again , but Newsom doesn ’ t seem bothered by any of that .
Not to be outdone , Dr. Anthony Fauci actually wants to cancel Christmas .
He insists that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enjoy their usual celebrations , but he is hopeful that things will start to get back to normal in the future .

This is starting to get really frightening. This week, the US Department of Defense unveiled the very first images of the “COVID-19 vaccination record cards” that will be given to every person who gets one of the COVID-19 vaccines. Now that such a record is going to be available, it is probably inevitable that some schools, businesses and government entities will want to starting requiring people to provide “proof of vaccination”. If this starts to happen, the public needs to protest very loudly against it. In addition, when someone receives a COVID-19 vaccine, that fact will be reported to state immunization registries and to the CDC. So they will know exactly who has been vaccinated, and that will also know exactly who has not been vaccinated.
The Department of Defense is preparing to distribute millions of “vaccination kits”, and every single one of those kits contains a blank COVID-19 vaccination record card. The following comes from CNN…
The Department of Defense released the first images of a Covid-19 vaccination record card and vaccination kits Wednesday. Vaccination cards will be used as the “simplest” way to keep track of Covid-19 shots, said Dr. Kelly Moore, associate director of the Immunization Action Coalition, which is supporting frontline workers who will administer Covid-19 vaccinations.
Obviously this has been the plan the entire time, but they never told the public that this was coming until now.
And we are also being informed that every time someone gets vaccinated it will be reported directly to the appropriate state immunization registry…
“Everyone will be issued a written card that they can put in their wallet that will tell them what they had and when their next dose is due,” Moore said. “Let’s do the simple, easy thing first. Everyone’s going to get that.” Vaccination clinics will also be reporting to their state immunization registries what vaccine was given, so that, for example, an entity could run a query if it didn’t know where a patient got a first dose.
So if you get injected, there will be a permanent record of that fact.
And if you don’t get injected, they will know that too.
In addition, CNN is also telling us that every single vaccination “will be reported to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention”.
That means that there will be a centralized national registry for COVID vaccinations.
Needless to say, that should send a chill up your spine.
If someday government officials decide to crack down on those that have refused to get vaccinated, they will have all of the information that they need at their fingertips.
This is anti-American, and our “conservative” politicians in Washington should be fighting against this.
But so far, I haven’t heard a single one of them object to this plan. Hopefully that will change soon.
Meanwhile, politicians on the left continue to push the envelope. For example, Joe Biden just announced that he plans to ask every American to wear a mask for the first 100 days of his presidency…
President-elect Joe Biden told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Thursday that he will ask Americans to wear masks for his first 100 days after he takes office, in a sign of how Biden’s approach to the virus will be dramatically different to President Donald Trump’s response. “Just 100 days to mask, not forever. 100 days. And I think we’ll see a significant reduction,” Biden told Tapper during his first joint interview with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris since winning the election.
In California, Governor Gavin Newsom has revealed that regional “stay-at-home” orders are about to go into effect throughout much of the state…
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced most of the state will come under a stricter set of limitations as intensive care units reach near-capacity levels with the latest pandemic surge in coronavirus cases. Regional stay-at-home orders will likely go into effect “in the next day or two” in places with less than 15% ICU availability, Newsom said in a daily briefing with reporters.
Of course it is inevitable that these new lockdowns will destroy thousands of businesses and will cause the suicide rate in the state to shoot up again, but Newsom doesn’t seem bothered by any of that.
Not to be outdone, Dr. Anthony Fauci actually wants to cancel Christmas. He insists that it is way too dangerous for Americans to enjoy their usual celebrations, but he is hopeful that things will start to get back to normal in the future.
But for now, they are going to continue to try to scare us into radically changing our lifestyles. In fact, Joe Biden just warned that another 250,000 Americans could die from the virus by the end of January…
I DON’T WANT TO SCARE ANYBODY here but understand the facts: we’re likely to lose another 250K people—dead, between now & January.
No, that is not really going to happen.
The media has always accused President Trump of being loose with the truth, but so far they haven’t applied that same standard to Biden.
And they probably never will.
In any event, every American on the left and the right should be deeply concerned about these new vaccination cards. I think soon we will start hearing about people that are not allowed on airplanes or that are fired from their jobs because they chose not to be vaccinated.
If our society is going to get completely nuts over COVID-19, what is going to happen when a pandemic comes along that is so severe that it will make COVID-19 look like child’s play?
If our politicians will instantly gravitate toward draconian measures during a relatively low level pandemic, how oppressive would they be during a pandemic in which people are literally dropping dead in the streets?
Our freedoms have been eroding for decades, but now authorities are moving at lightning speed to take them away from us.

The Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) is launching an inspector general investigation into whether federal agencies surveilled Americans via their cell phone data without a warrant .
While this sounds like nothing new , it involved federal agents buying access to a large commercial database .

In this newest case , the investigation will focus on US Customs and Border Protection ( CBP ) and its alleged use of commercially-available phone tracking data to snoop on the whereabouts of individuals .

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is launching an inspector general investigation into whether federal agencies surveilled Americans via their cell phone data without a warrant. While this sounds like nothing new, it involved federal agents buying access to a large commercial database.
According to a letter the DHS sent to Congressional leaders last week and obtained by The Wall Street Journal:
The department’s inspector general told five Democratic senators that his office would initiate an audit “to determine if the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its components have developed, updated, and adhered to policies related to cell-phone surveillance devices,” according to a letter sent last week to Capitol Hill and shared with The Wall Street Journal.
Putting aside the dubiousness of a major federal agency mounting an “objective” probe of one of its own internal departments over violations of Constitutional rights, the episode shows the US government has done little in the way of reform after the Edward Snowden NSA revelations of 2013. Of course, there were few that believed subsequent empty “promises” of politicians to curtail illegal domestic spying in the first place.
In this newest case, the investigation will focus on US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and its alleged use of commercially-available phone tracking data to snoop on the whereabouts of individuals. Congressional inquiries started when it was first revealed the CBP payed up to $500,000 to private company for access to a commercial database which has “location data mined from applications on millions of Americans’ mobile phones.”
The company at the center of the probe is a government contractor named Venntel which sources its data from mobile advertising to create “100 percent commercially available data”.
Last Wednesday a group of Senators led by Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) issued a statement which said the following:
If federal agencies are tracking American citizens without warrants, the public deserves answers and accountability, I won’t accept anything less than a thorough and swift inspector general investigation that sheds light on CBP’s phone location data surveillance program.
“CBP is not above the law and it should not be able to buy its way around the Fourth Amendment,” the senators said in the letter addressed to Inspector General Joseph Cuffari.
🚨DHS is opening an investigation into CBP’s warrantless collection of phone location data that @SenMarkey @SenWarren @SenBrianSchatz and I pushed for. I‘ll accept nothing less than a thorough and swift investigation that sheds light on CBP’s location data surveillance program. pic.twitter.com/pBtiRbdrSl — Ron Wyden (@RonWyden) December 2, 2020
Simultaneous to the Congressional probe the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) last week filed a lawsuit demanding the release of “records about their purchases of cell phone location data for immigration enforcement and other purposes.”
One crucial detail which remains unclear at this point, however, is the degree to which CBP was obtaining the tracking data of illegal immigrants or foreigners of questionable legal status in the United States. Even if so it’s likely they were accessing tracking data of American citizens in the process.
The CBP defense of their actions may hinge on such an argument, namely, that the methods were necessary and only applied to snooping on non-US citizens seeking to evade border and immigration authorities.

A recent survey of 2,000 Americans carried out by “innovation consultancy” Highland took a close look at how personal finances and spending habits have changed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which crushed the US economy and has triggered a protracted downturn around the world.
With the US labor market adding just 245K new jobs last month, a sign that the sharp rebound from the chaos of March has already run its course, and millions of Americans waiting on more stimulus from Washington, the share of people living check to check has expanded rapidly.
Even before the pandemic, a staggering percentage of Americans didn’t have enough cash on hand for an unexpected hardship of $400. But what’s even worse for America’s consumption-driven economy is that a solid majority of Americans have reduced spending, some dramatically, as the pandemic has made socialization difficult. According to the survey, 63% have cut back on spending since the start of the pandemic.
Asked for their reasons, respondents cited the need to be more cautious with their finances (60%), experiencing a reduced salary or income (49%), and staying home more often (40%).
For those who have cut back, 64% say they are spending less on dining out or takeout, 61% have reduced spending on entertainment such as concerts or movies, while 55% are buying less apparel and 52% are spending less on travel.
It is interesting to note that 21% of respondents say they have been spending more since the pandemic. Of those respondents, 51% say they are buying more food or groceries, and 50% are buying more household supplies.
After the unemployment rate spiked to more than 14% in April, Americans continue to be wary about their job security and income. According to respondents, more than a quarter feel they do not currently have a stable income, and 63% say they have been living paycheck to paycheck since the pandemic. Millennials appear to be the hardest hit demographic as 64% say they are living paycheck to paycheck.
Moreover, 25% of respondents feel they don’t currently have a stable income.
27% of respondents also said they’ve taken on more than $10K in debt.
But perhaps the most alarming number from the entire survey: a whopping 82% of respondents said they wouldn’t be able to cover an emergency $500 expense without borrowing money.
For context, prior to the pandemic, surveys showed that roughly half of Americans couldn’t afford a $500 emergency expense, which means the number of people who say they couldn’t cover a small emergency has risen by 60%.
Nearly half added that they now regret living beyond their means for so long before the crisis.
But the market’s at record highs, so at least those who have the option can borrow against their 401(k)s for a little emergency cash (that is, if they have a 401(k)).

Teslas remain popular despite the growing list of problems associated with them. There have been numerous reports about models crashing and/or catching fire. Owners have reported other scary driving situations as well (see 1, 2).
NHTSA has started an investigation into complaints about faulty suspension systems. Consumer Reports has decided to NOT recommend two of the company’s models.
Additionally troubling and NOT breaking news – Teslas are easy to hack and steal.
From Threatpost:
Tesla Hacked and Stolen Again Using Key Fob Belgian researchers demonstrate third attack on the car manufacturer’s keyless entry system, this time to break into a Model X within minutes.
Researchers have demonstrated for the third time how hacking into the key fob of a Tesla can allow someone to access and steal the car in minutes. The new attack again shows a security vulnerability in the keyless entry system of one of the most expensive electric vehicles (EVs) on the market. Researchers from the Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography (COIC), an Imec research group at the University of Leuven in Belgium, have “discovered major security flaws” in the key fob of the Tesla Model X, the small device that allows someone to automatically unlock the car by approaching the vehicle or pressing a button. The research team includes PhD student Lennert Wouters, who already has demonstrated two attacks on the keyless entry technology of the Tesla Model S that succeeded in unlocking and starting vehicles. Tesla sells some of the most state-of-the-art EVs available, ranging in cost from about $40,000 for the most basic models to more than $100,000 for a top-of-the-line Tesla Model X. Read full article

activistpost--2020-12-08--New Study Finds That Militarizing Local Police Does Not Reduce Crime

New research shows that the militarization of local law enforcement through weapons , armored vehicles , combat attire , office equipment and other items provided by the Department of Defense does not reduce crime .
Additionally , researchers found incomplete records and discrepancies in the federal government ’ s tracking of surplus military equipment , or SME , issued to local law enforcement agencies .
“ Scholars rely on accurate data to track and analyze the true effect of police militarization on crime .
Policymakers also need accurate data to base their decisions upon .
However to-date , we do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to local police and sheriffs through the federal government , ” said LSU Department of Political Science Assistant Professor Anna Gunderson , who is the lead author on a paper published today in Nature Human Behaviour .
In 2014 following the police brutality protests in Ferguson , President Obama prohibited local law enforcement agencies from procuring some of the most military-like equipment , such as tracked armored vehicles and grenade launchers , from the Department of Defense .
In 2017 , President Trump reversed this order citing research that claimed police militarization reduces @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and coauthors at Emory University began interrogating newly released data on SME provisions through the 1033 program , which is one of the most significant federal programs that contributes to the militarization of local police and sheriffs .

New research shows that the militarization of local law enforcement through weapons, armored vehicles, combat attire, office equipment and other items provided by the Department of Defense does not reduce crime. Additionally, researchers found incomplete records and discrepancies in the federal government’s tracking of surplus military equipment, or SME, issued to local law enforcement agencies.
“Scholars rely on accurate data to track and analyze the true effect of police militarization on crime. Policymakers also need accurate data to base their decisions upon. However to-date, we do not have reliable data on SME transfers to local police and sheriffs through the federal government,” said LSU Department of Political Science Assistant Professor Anna Gunderson, who is the lead author on a paper published today in Nature Human Behaviour.
In 2014 following the police brutality protests in Ferguson, President Obama prohibited local law enforcement agencies from procuring some of the most military-like equipment, such as tracked armored vehicles and grenade launchers, from the Department of Defense. In 2017, President Trump reversed this order citing research that claimed police militarization reduces crime. Three years ago, Gunderson and coauthors at Emory University began interrogating newly released data on SME provisions through the 1033 program, which is one of the most significant federal programs that contributes to the militarization of local police and sheriffs.
“When we looked at the data and ran the replications, nothing looked like the results being cited by the Trump Administration. We spent a year trying to diagnose the problem,” Gunderson said.
She and her coauthors found significant discrepancies in the data about which law enforcement agencies have and use SME. The researchers compared a 2014 data release from National Public Radio, or NPR, and newer data from 2018 and found inconsistencies between them. For example, the NPR data recorded counties as receiving equipment like weapons, with no corresponding record in the 2018 data; and the 2018 data show some counties as receiving equipment while those counties are missing in the NPR data.
The researchers conclude that drawing firm conclusions and promoting claims about the efficacy of police militarization–especially for crime rates–based on research relying on the SME data released by the Department of Defense is unreliable. When they conducted a new analysis using updated data, the authors found no evidence that SME transfers reduce crime.
“This is a cautionary tale about the importance of oversight. The most important thing for policy makers and the public to know is that you can’t justify giving surplus military equipment to police departments on the grounds it will lead to a reduction in crime. There is no evidence for that. You can’t claim this program is important because it reduces crime,” said co-author Tom Clark, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Political Science at Emory. “If you are going to engage in policy making experiments, it is important to include resources and requirements for reporting so that policy analysts can study whether the policy is working.”

We are at a critical juncture in the world of copyright claims. The “Copyright Alternative in Small-Claims Enforcement Act”—the CASE Act—is apparently being considered for inclusion in next week’s spending bill. That is “must pass” legislation—in other words, legislation that is vital to the function of the government and so anything attached to it, related to spending or not, has a good chance of becoming law. The CASE Act could mean Internet users facing $30,000 penalties for sharing a meme or making a video. It has no place in must pass legislation.
The CASE Act purports to be a simple fix to the complicated problem of online copyright infringement. In reality, it creates an obscure, labyrinthine system that will be easy for the big players to find the way out of. The new “Copyright Claims Board” in the Copyright Office would be empowered to levy large penalties against anyone accused of copyright infringement. The only way out would be to respond to the Copyright Office—in a very specific manner, within a limited time period. Regular Internet users, those who can’t afford the $30,000 this “small claims” board can force you to pay, will be the ones most likely to get lost in the shuffle.
The CASE Act doesn’t create a small-claims court, which might a least have some hard-fought for protections for free expression built in. Instead, claims under the CASE Act would be heard by neither judges or juries, just “claims officers.” And CASE limits appeals, so you may be stuck with whatever penalty the “claims board” decides you owe.
Previous versions of the CASE Act all failed. This version is not an improvement, and Congress has not heard enough from those of us who would be most affected by CASE: regular, everyday Internet users who could end up owing thousands of dollars. Large, well-resourced players will not be affected, as they will have the resources to track notices and simply opt out.
How do we know that the effect of this bill on people who do not have those resources has not been understood? For one thing, Representative Doug Collins of Georgia said in an open hearing any claim with a $30,000 cap on damages was “truly small.” Of course, for many many people – often the same people who don’t have lawyers to help them opt-out in time – paying those damages would be ruinous.
That’s why we’re asking you to take some time today to call and tell your representatives how dangerous this bill really is and that has no place being snuck through via a completely unrelated “must pass” spending bill.
Tell Congress that a bill like this has no place being added to any spending bill. That it must rise or fall on its own merits and that there are people who will be harmed and who are speaking out against this bill.

activistpost--2020-12-07--Artificial Skin To Make Troops Invisible, But Cloaking Material Isn’t New

Will humans soon be able to wear artificial skin and be invisible ?
According to an article by Defense One that may soon be our future .
A recent study into metamaterials and devices has enabled early prototypes of artificial skin giving their wearers a chameleon-like ability to blend into their environment .
A research paper from a group of researchers in South Korea led by Seung Hwan Ko at Seoul National University details the new cloaking technology comprised of elastic patches that utilize heating and cooling to mimic both visible colors and thermal characteristics of the environment .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the two in about five seconds , allowing the wearer of the technology to conceal themselves in the daytime and almost become invisible on thermal cameras even at night .
The patches for the invisibility cloak are made up of “ pixels ” containing thermochromic liquid crystals that change color depending on temperature , “ thus allowing the generation of a diverse number of colors by controlling temperature .
The cloaking in the visible range is therefore achieved separately by matching the ambient color , ” researchers wrote in the paper .
Defense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suitable for combat ; Seung told the publication that he and his team would need to make a larger version ( and find a more efficient power source ) .
And extreme external temperatures , as someone might encounter in the Arctic or in the desert , can also influence the device ’ s ability to thermal cloak .
“ This problem may be solved by adding a proper thermal insulator , ” Seung said .
However , this isn ’ t the first time that cloaking or invisibility technology has been invented @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The military has actually been working on cloaking technology for some time .
In 2014 Defense One reported that by using “ nano-needles , ” engineers at Purdue University created virtual invisibility by bending light around an object .
At the time , in 2007 , researchers could only hide stationary objects .
But as they went on to say : In the years since , researchers from around the world have made steady progress in metamaterial design .
But metamaterial doesn ’ t exactly grow on trees .
It has to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a meter in size ) so creating enough of it to hide anything has been a challenge .
Chanda and his fellow researchers have developed a technique that allows for the mass-production of metamaterial through a type of printing process .
Here is a CNN report highlighting how the concept of bending light has been tested to replace the typical camouflage used by soldiers .
What ’ s more , was this type of technology used already ?
There is an infamous video online below where a soldier ’ s outline is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before a big explosion prior to deep fake technology existing .
A similar material was previously researched by Ali Aliev at the University of Texas .
Aliev found that by using carbon nanotubes to bend surface light around an object , it produces a mirage effect that can hide physical objects .
While Seung and his team are announcing their research as current , the U.S. military has already long been experimenting with similar cloaking devices as well as nano-enhanced hybrids for both invisibility and body armor .

A research paper from a group of researchers in South Korea led by Seung Hwan Ko at Seoul National University details the new cloaking technology comprised of elastic patches that utilize heating and cooling to mimic both visible colors and thermal characteristics of the environment. In fact, the technology can switch between the two in about five seconds, allowing the wearer of the technology to conceal themselves in the daytime and almost become invisible on thermal cameras even at night.
The patches for the invisibility cloak are made up of “pixels” containing thermochromic liquid crystals that change color depending on temperature, “thus allowing the generation of a diverse number of colors by controlling temperature. The cloaking in the visible range is therefore achieved separately by matching the ambient color,” researchers wrote in the paper.
Defense One expresses that the technology might be suitable for combat; Seung told the publication that he and his team would need to make a larger version (and find a more efficient power source).

In the years since, researchers from around the world have made steady progress in metamaterial design. But metamaterial doesn’t exactly grow on trees. It has to be engineered at the nanoscale (one billionth of a meter in size) so creating enough of it to hide anything has been a challenge. Chanda and his fellow researchers have developed a technique that allows for the mass-production of metamaterial through a type of printing process.
Here is a CNN report highlighting how the concept of bending light has been tested to replace the typical camouflage used by soldiers. What’s more, was this type of technology used already? There is an infamous video online below where a soldier’s outline is seen running in front of a tank before a big explosion prior to deep fake technology existing.
A similar material was previously researched by Ali Aliev at the University of Texas. Aliev found that by using carbon nanotubes to bend surface light around an object, it produces a mirage effect that can hide physical objects.

Last year, actor/producer/activist Mark Ruffalo released the film, Dark Waters about DuPont dumping toxic chemical waste into the water supply of a West Virginia community. He also asked Congress to take action against “Forever Chemicals” created and improperly disposed of by DuPont and other companies.
Unfortunately, “Forever Chemicals” and the nation’s not-so-great water supply (see 1, 2) may not be as much of a priority to president-elect Biden as environmentalists had hoped.
Longtime environmental activist Erin Brockovich recently wrote a scathing open letter to Joe Biden that was published in The Guardian:
Dear Joe Biden: are you kidding me? The president-elect has tapped a former DuPont consultant to join his Environmental Protection Agency transition board For years, I’ve been trying to impart a simple concept that Superman is not coming. Dare I say, I had hopes that this new administration would usher in the dawning of a new day. As picks for President-elect Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) transition team were announced, I felt concerned and disheartened about a chemical industry insider being on the list. Are you kidding me? Michael McCabe, a former employee of Biden and a former deputy Environmental Protection Agency administrator, later jumped ship to work as a consultant on communication strategy for DuPont during a time when the chemical company was looking to fight regulations of their star chemical perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) also known as C8. The toxic manmade chemical is used in everything from waterproof clothes, stain-resistant textiles and food packaging to non-stick pans. The compound has been linked to lowered fertility, cancer and liver damage. The Guardian reported this week that Harvard school of public health professor Philippe Grandjean, who studies environmental health, warns that PFAS chemicals, of which PFOA is one, might reduce the efficacy of a Covid-19 vaccine. This smells of the dawn of the same old. To quote the Who: meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
