“Defendant Shall Not Attend Protests”: In Portland, Getting Out of Jail Requires Relinquishing Constitutional Rights

Federal authorities are using a new tactic in their battle against protesters in Portland , Oregon : arrest them on offenses as minor as “ failing to obey ” an order to get off a sidewalk on federal property — and then tell them they can ’ t protest anymore as a condition for release from jail .
Legal experts describe the move as a blatant violation of the constitutional right to free assembly , but at least 12 protesters arrested in recent weeks have been specifically barred from attending protests or demonstrations as they await trials on federal misdemeanor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any other protests , rallies , assemblies or public gathering in the state of Oregon , ” states one “ Order Setting Conditions of Release ” for an accused protester , alongside other conditions such as appearing for court dates .
The orders are signed by federal magistrate judges .
For other defendants , the restricted area is limited to Portland , where clashes between protesters and federal troops have grown increasingly violent in recent weeks .
In at least two cases , there are no geographic restrictions ; one release document instructs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protests , demonstrations , rallies , assemblies while this case is pending.
” Protesters who have agreed to stay away from further demonstrations say they felt forced to accept those terms to get out of jail .
“ Those terms were given to me after being in a holding cell after 14 hours , ” Bailey Dreibelbis , who was charged July 24 with “ failing to obey a lawful order , ” told ProPublica .
“ It was pretty cut-and-dried , just , ‘ These are your conditions for [ getting out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didn ’ t take it , I would still be in holding .
It wasn ’ t really an option , in my eyes.
” It could not be learned who drafted the orders barring the protesters from joining further demonstrations .
The documents reviewed by ProPublica were signed by a federal magistrate in Portland .
Magistrates have broad authority to set the terms of release for anyone accused of a crime .
They typically receive recommendations from U.S. Pretrial Services , an arm of the U.S. Courts , which can gather input @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case .
ProPublica identified several instances in which the protest ban was added to the conditions of release document when it was drafted , before it was given to the judge .
It remained unclear whether the limits on protesting were initiated by Justice Department officials or the magistrates hearing the cases .
Constitutional lawyers said conditioning release from jail on a promise to stop joining protests were overly broad and almost certainly a violation of the First Amendment right to free assembly .
“ The government has a very heavy burden when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and on assembly , ” noted Jameel Jaffer of Columbia University ’ s Knight First Amendment Institute .
“ It ’ s much easier for the government to meet that burden where it has individualized information about a threat .
So for example , they know that a particular person is planning to carry out some unlawful activity at a particular protest.
” Over the past week , the federal government has sharply increased the number of protesters it ’ s charging with federal crimes — often for petty offenses that are classified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on federal property .
Court documents reviewed by ProPublica show that over a third of the protesters are charged with “ failing to obey a lawful order , ” which 14 protesters were charged with between July 21 and July 24 alone .
The office of the U.S. attorney for Oregon , Billy J. Williams , did not respond to ProPublica ’ s questions about who was making charging decisions .
In a recent interview with The Oregonian , Williams urged local citizens to demand that “ violent extremists ” who have attempted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ federal courthouse leave .
“ Until that happens , we ’ re going to do what we need to do to protect federal property.
” Craig Gabriel , an assistant U.S. attorney who works for Williams , insisted the office understood and respected the right to protest racial injustice .
“ People are angry .
Very large crowds are gathering , expressing deep and legitimate anger with police and the justice system , ” Gabriel told The Oregonian .
“ We wholeheartedly support the community ’ s constitutionally protected rights to assemble together @ @ @ @ @ @ @ engage in peaceful and civil disobedience.
” Gabriel did not mention the written restrictions against protest that have been made a condition of release for some of those arrested .
Several protesters who were let go on July 23 had bans against demonstrating added by hand on their release documents by Magistrate Judge John V. Acosta , who signed off on them , a review by ProPublica found .
Acosta ’ s office did not respond to ProPublica ’ s questions .
For those released on July 24 , the restriction was added @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signed by Acosta .
One protester arrested and released earlier in the month had his conditions of release modified at his arraignment on July 24 .
The modified order , signed by Acosta , added a protest ban not previously included .
Three of the 15 protesters charged on July 27 , in orders signed by Magistrate Judge Jolie A. Russo , also had explicit protest restrictions added to their release terms .
( One release order has not yet been posted to the federal courts database . )
Russo ’ s office @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questions .
“ I don ’ t see that as constitutionally defensible , ” Jaffer said .
And I find it difficult to believe that any judge would uphold it.
” The ACLU ’ s Somil Trivedi said , “ Release conditions should be related to public safety or flight ” — in other words , the risk that the defendant will abscond .
“ This is neither.
” He described the handwritten addition of a protest ban to a release document as “ sort of hilariously unconstitutional.
” Publicly , the Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem with the protests that erupted in Portland and other American cities in response to the May 25 death of George Floyd , a Black man , in police custody in Minneapolis .
The administration said it launched Operation Diligent Valor in July with a massive deployment of federal officers merely to protect federal property from “ violent extremists.
” Geoffrey Stone of the University of Chicago Law School said that imposing a protest ban as a release condition undermines the distinction between protected protest and criminal activity .
“ Even if they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in fact , step beyond the bounds of the First Amendment and do something illegal , that doesn ’ t mean you can then restrict their First Amendment right.
” In many cases , the charges leveled at Portland protesters are closely tied to their presence at the protest — and not to any violent acts .
Eighteen of the 50 protesters charged in Portland are accused only of minor offenses under Title 40 , Section 1315 , of the U.S. Code .
That law criminalizes certain behavior ( like “ failure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as well as “ disorderly conduct ” ) when it happens on federal property or against people who are located on that property .
In other words , it describes behavior that wouldn ’ t otherwise be a matter for a federal court .
Dreibelbis , like other protesters to whom ProPublica has spoken , said he was arrested for being on the sidewalk outside the federal courthouse .
Because the federal government owns the land under the sidewalk , another protester ( who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid influencing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s “ common knowledge ” among protesters that the sidewalk is a no-go zone , and setting foot on it risks federal prosecution .
Dreibelbis told ProPublica he roller-skated into the protest , expecting to attend only briefly .
He said he knelt on the sidewalk and was arrested by officers .
( The charging document filed against Dreibelbis offers no arrest details . )
Section 1315 is the same law the Trump administration is using to justify initiating the federal show of force in Portland , which the administration has said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where protests have raged since Floyd ’ s death .
The law allows the secretary of homeland security to supplement the Federal Protective Service , the relatively small agency partly responsible for federal building security , with law enforcement agents from the department ’ s other agencies ( such as Customs and Border Protection ) .
Both President Donald Trump and his predecessor , Barack Obama , have invoked that part of the law in the past .
But the use of that same law to file criminal charges appears to be novel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surge force ” of 400 FPS agents , and a dozen CBP agents , to Baltimore in 2015 , when the police killing of Freddie Gray sparked broad unrest , but no charges were filed under Section 1315 itself in that response .
In Portland , the federal government has relied on the FPS and U.S .
Marshals to write affidavits used to charge protesters in federal court .
But it has detailed other agencies on the protest front lines : DHS agencies cited in court complaints include CBP , through its BORTAC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s investigations unit ; DHS ’ Office of Intelligence and Analysis , in addition to FPS .
Complaints also cite the U.S .
Marshals and the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives , which are Justice Department entities .
In the first weeks of the operation , the most common charge against protesters was assault of a federal officer — which , in some cases , counted as a crime on federal property because protesters on the streets were shining lasers at officers inside the courthouse .
( DHS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lose their vision , but as of July 24 , the most serious injury detailed in federal charging documents was an agent who reported seeing spots in his eyes for 15 minutes after the laser attack . )
Over July 23 and 24 , however , 10 of the 13 cases opened were charges only of “ failing to obey a lawful order.
” ( One other defendant was charged with assaulting a U.S .
Marshal while detained inside the courthouse — where she had been taken after an arrest for “ failing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Since then , almost all cases have accused protesters of assaulting a federal officer ( generally a misdemeanor charge ) .
In many of the assault cases , files are thin and no details of the allegations have been posted , even for protesters charged as early as July 6 .

They are placed under a curfew ( either from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. or 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. ) and told not to go within five blocks of the courthouse grounds except for court hearings .

They saw no legitimate rationale for a blanket ban on protests .
“ I suppose the government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law enforcement officer at a protest , and we don ’ t trust you to not do it again , ’ ” Trivedi said .
But the release documents already instruct defendants that they are not allowed to break any laws while awaiting trial .

The motor and vehicle giant Ford has employed two of Boston Dynamics robot dogs onto its factory floor .
According to a report by Motor Trend , the car and truck maker is going to be utilizing Boston Dynamics robot dogs “ Fluffy ” and “ Spot , ” for scanning the factory with lasers .
These robot canines will be utilized in the Van Dyke transmission plant near Detroit , Michigan .
“ These robots can be deployed into tough-to-reach areas within the plant to scan the area with laser scanners and high-definition cameras , collecting data used to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and money , ” Ford wrote in a press release .
Ford says the robot dog duo can fit under conveyor belts and venture into areas with fumes to test the air and deem it safe for human habitation .
The automaker also notes the droid dogs will help it speed up its process of scanning its factory .
Apparently , the process of documenting the factory used to take upwards to two weeks .
This process took an entire surveying crew with a tripod scanner to do the work .
Which , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lot of money .
As such Ford came up with a solution using the “ 70-pound quadruped robots with distinctly dog-like mobility ” would speed up that process a bit , while also reducing costs .
Translation : robots are going to take over your jobs and we warned you .
Why pay a measly weak human being when you can just buy a robot to do all of the work ?
The answer for a business is , of course ; a robot requires no health insurance , overtime pay , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and these two each can move at speeds of up to 3 mph for as long as two hours at a time before needing a recharge .
They ’ re also capable of maneuvering up steps and 30-degree inclines .
So the only downside here is the need to recharge , otherwise humans would be screwed .
Oh , but you might think that ’ s a positive thing , but you would be wrong as Spot and Fluffy have removable batteries .
As if what Ford is doing wasn ’ t strange @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this robot monstrosity laying in a dog bed with a bone in its view .
It also seems that Boston Dynamics taught both these robo pups the ability to get up after a fall .
Maybe something they will regret , as they previously bullied another model of their robots .
Just wait until the A.I .
starts communicating together and reach singularity as sentient beings .
Then they will remember that single time that a Boston Dynamics employee pushed over their robot brethren .
Well , let ’ s be honest he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for fun .
One man ’ s fun is another person ’ s future nightmare .
Wait , no that ’ s not how that goes is it ?
Although , Ford says the two robot dogs shouldn ’ t be kicked or touched , plastering stickers on them that say : “ service dog , do not pet.
” I mean really as if anyone is actually going to pet a robotic dog machine .
Ford also adds that the bots are programmed to stay clear of humans and will cause no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : 177 Different Ways to Generate Extra Income The “ dogs , ” and I use that term loosely , can also crouch , stretch , and sit .
Because robots also had to steal fido ’ s jobs too .
It ’ s important to note that robots have already started stealing man ’ s best friends ’ work as well .
Activist Post previously reported about robot dogs being used for social distancing with CV and for even herding sheep .
Last year , robots took a record number of human @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Robotic Industries Association ( RIA ) as Activist Post reported .
Now , with the impetus of the coronavirus , the number of jobs occupied by robots could multiply quite rapidly .

With the coronavirus as a catalyst to speed up the deployment of automated machines , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be much more severe .
It seems I am not the only one to share that opinion ; a recent MarketWatch article written by Johannes Moenius , a professor of global business and the director of the Institute for Spatial Economic Analysis at the University of Redlands , agrees with this author ’ s conclusion stating “ at least 50 million jobs could be automated in just essential industries.

So the only downside here is the need to recharge, otherwise humans would be screwed. Oh, but you might think that’s a positive thing, but you would be wrong as Spot and Fluffy have removable batteries.
As if what Ford is doing wasn’t strange enough, they seriously took pictures of this robot monstrosity laying in a dog bed with a bone in its view.
It also seems that Boston Dynamics taught both these robo pups the ability to get up after a fall. Maybe something they will regret, as they previously bullied another model of their robots. Just wait until the A.I. starts communicating together and reach singularity as sentient beings. Then they will remember that single time that a Boston Dynamics employee pushed over their robot brethren. Well, let’s be honest he probably did it more than once just for fun. One man’s fun is another person’s future nightmare. Wait, no that’s not how that goes is it?
Although, Ford says the two robot dogs shouldn’t be kicked or touched, plastering stickers on them that say: “service dog, do not pet.” I mean really as if anyone is actually going to pet a robotic dog machine. Ford also adds that the bots are programmed to stay clear of humans and will cause no harm to its flesh-suit workers.
The “dogs,” and I use that term loosely, can also crouch, stretch, and sit. Because robots also had to steal fido’s jobs too. It’s important to note that robots have already started stealing man’s best friends’ work as well. Activist Post previously reported about robot dogs being used for social distancing with CV and for even herding sheep.
Last year, robots took a record number of human jobs in the U.S. according to the Robotic Industries Association (RIA) as Activist Post reported. Now, with the impetus of the coronavirus, the number of jobs occupied by robots could multiply quite rapidly. Oxford Economics also published its own report warning that accelerating technological advances in automation, engineering, energy storage, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have the potential to reshape the world in 2020 through 2030s, displacing at least 20 million workers.
With the coronavirus as a catalyst to speed up the deployment of automated machines, we can probably safely say that number will be much more severe. It seems I am not the only one to share that opinion; a recent MarketWatch article written by Johannes Moenius, a professor of global business and the director of the Institute for Spatial Economic Analysis at the University of Redlands, agrees with this author’s conclusion stating “at least 50 million jobs could be automated in just essential industries.”
In fact, the Brookings Institution said in a report last month that “any coronavirus-related recession is likely to bring about a spike in labor-replacing automation … Automation happens in bursts, concentrated especially in bad times such as in the wake of economic shocks, when humans become relatively more expensive as firms’ revenues rapidly decline.”
You can watch Spot in action in the view below, and there is even a creepy split few seconds of an apocalyptic scene. A potential preview of the robot apocalypse to come!

activistpost--2020-07-29--Smithsonian Magazine Reports about U.S. Gov’t Swine Flu Vaccine That Injured Thousands in 1976

Since the 1980s , one U.S. government agency has paid over $ 4B to Americans who have been injured by vaccines .
Wow , right ?
!
CBS 60 Minutes produced a segment about one government campaign for a 1976 Swine Flu vaccine which harmed thousands of Americans who then sued for damages : CBS ” 60 MINUTES ” documentary on the swine flu epidemic of 1976 in the U.S .
It went on air only once and was never shown again .
Watch this video documentary and listen to testimony of people who caught Gullian-Barre paralysis because of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US government for damages .
500 cases of Gullian-Barre paralysis , including 25 deaths—not due to the swine flu itself , but as a direct result of the vaccine .
At the time President Gerald Ford , on advice from the CDC , called for vaccination of the ENTIRE population of the United States .
In 2017 , Smithsonian Magazine published an article about the 1976 Swine Flu vaccine .
Some might find it especially interesting that the aggressive campaign to quickly vaccinate the majority of Americans coincided with a presidential election .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Flu Vaccine ‘ Fiasco ’ Some , but not all , of the hesitance to embrace vaccines can be traced back to this event more than 40 years ago In the spring of 1976 , it looked like that year ’ s flu was the real thing .
Spoiler alert : it wasn ’ t , and rushed response led to a medical debacle that hasn ’ t gone away .
“ Some of the American public ’ s hesitance to embrace vaccines — the flu vaccine in particular — can be attributed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1976 campaign to mass-vaccinate the public against a strain of the swine flu virus , ” writes Rebecca Kreston for Discover .
“ This government-led campaign was widely viewed as a debacle and put an irreparable dent in future public health initiative , as well as negatively influenced the public ’ s perception of both the flu and the flu shot in this country.

The Long Shadow of the 1976 Swine Flu Vaccine ‘Fiasco’ Some, but not all, of the hesitance to embrace vaccines can be traced back to this event more than 40 years ago By Kat Eschner smithsonianmag.com
February 6, 2017 In the spring of 1976, it looked like that year’s flu was the real thing. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t, and rushed response led to a medical debacle that hasn’t gone away. “Some of the American public’s hesitance to embrace vaccines — the flu vaccine in particular — can be attributed to the long-lasting effects of a failed 1976 campaign to mass-vaccinate the public against a strain of the swine flu virus,” writes Rebecca Kreston for Discover. “This government-led campaign was widely viewed as a debacle and put an irreparable dent in future public health initiative, as well as negatively influenced the public’s perception of both the flu and the flu shot in this country.” Read full article
Flu-like symptoms and illnesses are also very common with Microwave Sickness, a federally recognized illness (see 1, 2) and Electromagnetic Sensitivity, a federal recognized disability (see 1, 2). In fact, many types of undesirable health conditions can be caused or worsened by exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) aka “Electrosmog.” Sources include 5G, Bluetooth, cell phone and WiFi radiation and also “Energy-Saving” CFL and LED light bulbs.
For many years The World Health Organization (WHO) and other health experts (see 1, 2) have recommended that we reduce our exposure to wireless radiation because of increased cancer risk and more. Animals can be harmed by exposure too.
There are no vaccinations available for Microwave Sickness or Electromagnetic Sensitivity. The best defense is to reduce exposure to sources of “Electrosmog.” This includes having your utility companies replace their electric, gas, and/or water 2-way wireless transmitting “Smart” Meters (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) with traditional analog meters.
Eventually the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be asked to approve vaccines for the Corona Virus. The FDA track record for failing to protect Americans from harmful products is staggering – most recently with now 87 toxic and potentially deadly hand sanitizers. Experts and whistleblowers have also blamed the agency for significantly contributing to the Opioid Crisis.

Are you ready for this week ’ s absurdity ?

The pandemic has made Governors so power hungry that they are now telling restaurants what counts as a meal .

But now that tactic has caught the eye of Comrade-Governors Newsom and Cuomo .
They have decided that not only is it within their power to tell restaurants if they are allowed to serve drinks and food , but these Governors also claim the power to dictate what counts as a meal .
The dictator of California officially decreed that buffalo chicken wings are not a meal .
Nor are reheated frozen entrees , “ pizza bites ( as opposed to a pizza ) ” , or “ any small portion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ main course when it is not served in a full portion or when it is intended for sharing in small portions.
” And the dictator of New York said the food available has to be “ More than just hors d ’ oeuvres , chicken wings , you had to have some substantive food .
The lowest level of substantive food were sandwiches.

So says the politburo .

Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice.
Governors proclaim chicken wings are not a meal
The pandemic has made Governors so power hungry that they are now telling restaurants what counts as a meal.
States like California and New York are forcing restaurants and bars to only serve alcohol with meals.
That prompted some establishments to add special menu items so that patrons who just wanted a drink didn’t have to order an entire meal.
But now that tactic has caught the eye of Comrade-Governors Newsom and Cuomo.
They have decided that not only is it within their power to tell restaurants if they are allowed to serve drinks and food, but these Governors also claim the power to dictate what counts as a meal.
The dictator of California officially decreed that buffalo chicken wings are not a meal.
Nor are reheated frozen entrees, “pizza bites (as opposed to a pizza)”, or “any small portion of a dish that may constitute a main course when it is not served in a full portion or when it is intended for sharing in small portions.”
And the dictator of New York said the food available has to be “More than just hors d’oeuvres, chicken wings, you had to have some substantive food. The lowest level of substantive food were sandwiches.”
There you have it, sandwiches are a meal, chicken wings are not. So says the politburo.

A&E loses half its viewers after canceling “Live PD”
Amid calls for police accountability, A&E canceled its reality TV show “Live PD” to try to appease the Twitter mob.
Does this seem counterintuitive to you? It does to me. Following cops around with a camera seems like it would INCREASE police accountability.
But A&E seems to think that if they stop filming the police, then transparency and accountability will improve. In other news, 2+2 = 5.
But it turns out bowing to the Twitter mob isn’t necessarily good for business.
A&E’s total prime time viewership dropped by over 50% in the week after the show was cancelled.
And the channel has hardly recovered since then. Compared to this time last year, A&E has suffered a 36% total decline in viewers.
“Live PD” and its spin-offs were by far the most successful shows on A&E and sometimes made up 85% of its programming.
The shows brought in almost $300 million last year in advertising revenue.
Oops.

California State Universities now require Social Justice course
The California State University system is adding its first new general education requirement in 40 years.
Students at all 23 college campuses will now be required to take a class on either social justice, or ethnic studies.
But this new requirement was met with ANGER by the California Faculty Association.
They said it was “deplorable and disrespectful” that this requirement was passed without the consultation of CSU Council of Ethnic Studies.
And they were disappointed that the new rule didn’t go far enough, because some of the classes that fulfill the requirement are not closely enough related to ethnic studies.
This is a great reason to absolutely NEVER try to appease the Twitter mob– they won’t be satisfied, they will always want more. And YOU might even become a target for being the wrong kind of woke.
But this is a great way to truly mark the point where a college degree becomes worthless (especially when you are paying full tuition for online classes).

Woman pepper-sprays couple for not wearing masks during picnic
A couple went to a San Diego park to have lunch.
They set up their picnic, properly socially distanced from other park-goers, and removed their masks to eat.
That’s when they began being harassed by an older woman. She flipped them off, and yelled obscenities about them not wearing masks in public.
Then this woman walked up to the picnicking couple and pepper sprayed them.
It was all caught on camera by another person at the park. As the culprit walked off, she claimed she was defending herself… against people in an outdoor park, minding their own business, eating lunch.
So now, because of the Covid hysteria, people think it’s “defense” to physically attack strangers for not wearing a mask. That’s where we are as a society.

You can now be fined $1,000 in Washington DC for not wearing a mask in public.

That must be why the laws only apply to peasants like us, not to the important people making and enforcing the laws.
