thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-22--What If the Christ Child Had Been Born in the American Police State?

The Christmas story of a baby born in a manger is a familiar one .
The Roman Empire , a police state in its own right , had ordered that a census be conducted .
Joseph and his pregnant wife Mary traveled to the little town of Bethlehem so that they could be counted .
There being no room for the couple at any of the inns , they stayed in a stable ( a barn ) , where Mary gave birth to a baby boy , Jesus .
Warned that the government planned to kill the baby , Jesus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ until it was safe to return to their native land .
Yet what if Jesus had been born 2,000 years later ?
What if , instead of being born into the Roman police state , Jesus had been born at this moment in time ?
What kind of reception would Jesus and his family be given ?
Would we recognize the Christ child ’ s humanity , let alone his divinity ?
Would we treat him any differently than he was treated by the Roman Empire ?
If his family were forced to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sought refuge and asylum within our borders , what sanctuary would we offer them ?
A singular number of churches across the country have asked those very questions in recent years , and their conclusions were depicted with unnerving accuracy by nativity scenes in which Jesus and his family are separated , segregated and caged in individual chain-link pens , topped by barbed wire fencing .
Those nativity scenes were a pointed attempt to remind the modern world that the narrative about the birth of Jesus is one that speaks on multiple fronts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life , teachings and crucifixion of Jesus to be drowned out by partisan politics , secularism , materialism and war , all driven by a manipulative shadow government called the Deep State .
The modern-day church has largely shied away from applying Jesus ’ teachings to modern problems such as war , poverty , immigration , etc.
, but thankfully there have been individuals throughout history who ask themselves and the world : what would Jesus do ?
What would Jesus—the baby born in Bethlehem who grew into an itinerant preacher and revolutionary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the police state of his day ( namely , the Roman Empire ) but spent his adult life speaking truth to power , challenging the status quo of his day , and pushing back against the abuses of the Roman Empire—do about the injustices of our modern age ?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer asked himself what Jesus would have done about the horrors perpetrated by Hitler and his assassins .
The answer : Bonhoeffer was executed by Hitler for attempting to undermine the tyranny at the heart of Nazi Germany .
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn asked himself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soul-destroying gulags and labor camps of the Soviet Union .
The answer : Solzhenitsyn found his voice and used it to speak out about government oppression and brutality .
Martin Luther King Jr. asked himself what Jesus would have done about America ’ s warmongering .
The answer : declaring “ my conscience leaves me no other choice , ” King risked widespread condemnation when he publicly opposed the Vietnam War on moral and economic grounds .
Even now , despite the popularity of the phrase “ What Would Jesus Do ?
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there remains a disconnect in the modern church between the teachings of Christ and the suffering of what Jesus in Matthew 25 refers to as the “ least of these.
” Yet this is not a theological gray area : Jesus was unequivocal about his views on many things , not the least of which was charity , compassion , war , tyranny and love .
After all , Jesus—the revered preacher , teacher , radical and prophet—was born into a police state not unlike the growing menace of the American police state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had powerful , profound things to say , things that would change how we view people , alter government policies and change the world .
“ Blessed are the merciful , ” “ Blessed are the peacemakers , ” and “ Love your enemies ” are just a few examples of his most profound and revolutionary teachings .
When confronted by those in authority , Jesus did not shy away from speaking truth to power .
Indeed , his teachings undermined the political and religious establishment of his day .
It cost him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a warning to others not to challenge the powers-that-be .
Can you imagine what Jesus ’ life would have been like if , instead of being born into the Roman police state , he had been born and raised in the American police state ?
Consider the following if you will .
Had Jesus been born in the era of the America police state , rather than traveling to Bethlehem for a census , Jesus ’ parents would have been mailed a 28-page American Community Survey , a mandatory government questionnaire documenting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ schedule , how many toilets are in your home , etc .
The penalty for not responding to this invasive survey can go as high as $ 5,000 .
Instead of being born in a manger , Jesus might have been born at home .
Rather than wise men and shepherds bringing gifts , however , the baby ’ s parents might have been forced to ward off visits from state social workers intent on prosecuting them for the home birth .
One couple in Washington had all three of their children removed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ youngest being birthed in an unassisted home delivery .
Had Jesus been born in a hospital , his blood and DNA would have been taken without his parents ’ knowledge or consent and entered into a government biobank .
While most states require newborn screening , a growing number are holding onto that genetic material long-term for research , analysis and purposes yet to be disclosed .
Then again , had Jesus ’ parents been undocumented immigrants , they and the newborn baby might have been shuffled to a profit-driven , private prison @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been separated from each other , the children detained in make-shift cages , and the parents eventually turned into cheap , forced laborers for corporations such as Starbucks , Microsoft , Walmart , and Victoria ’ s Secret .
There ’ s quite a lot of money to be made from imprisoning immigrants , especially when taxpayers are footing the bill .
From the time he was old enough to attend school , Jesus would have been drilled in lessons of compliance and obedience to government authorities , while learning little about his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enough to speak out against injustice while still in school , he might have found himself tasered or beaten by a school resource officer , or at the very least suspended under a school zero tolerance policy that punishes minor infractions as harshly as more serious offenses .
Had Jesus disappeared for a few hours let alone days as a 12-year-old , his parents would have been handcuffed , arrested and jailed for parental negligence .
Parents across the country have been arrested for far less “ offenses ” such as allowing their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and play in their front yard alone .
Rather than disappearing from the history books from his early teenaged years to adulthood , Jesus ’ movements and personal data—including his biometrics—would have been documented , tracked , monitored and filed by governmental agencies and corporations such as Google and Microsoft .
Incredibly , 95 percent of school districts share their student records with outside companies that are contracted to manage data , which they then use to market products to us .
From the moment Jesus made contact with an “ extremist ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would have been flagged for surveillance because of his association with a prominent activist , peaceful or otherwise .
Since 9/11 , the FBI has actively carried out surveillance and intelligence-gathering operations on a broad range of activist groups , from animal rights groups to poverty relief , anti-war groups and other such “ extremist ” organizations .
Jesus ’ anti-government views would certainly have resulted in him being labeled a domestic extremist .
Law enforcement agencies are being trained to recognize signs of anti-government extremism during interactions with potential extremists who share @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of government and the economy.
” While traveling from community to community , Jesus might have been reported to government officials as “ suspicious ” under the Department of Homeland Security ’ s “ See Something , Say Something ” programs .
Many states , including New York , are providing individuals with phone apps that allow them to take photos of suspicious activity and report them to their state Intelligence Center , where they are reviewed and forwarded to law-enforcement agencies .
Rather than being permitted to live as an itinerant preacher @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with arrest for daring to live off the grid or sleeping outside .
In fact , the number of cities that have resorted to criminalizing homelessness by enacting bans on camping , sleeping in vehicles , loitering and begging in public has doubled .
Viewed by the government as a dissident and a potential threat to its power , Jesus might have had government spies planted among his followers to monitor his activities , report on his movements , and entrap him into breaking the law .
Such Judases today—called informants—often receive hefty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Had Jesus used the internet to spread his radical message of peace and love , he might have found his blog posts infiltrated by government spies attempting to undermine his integrity , discredit him or plant incriminating information online about him .
At the very least , he would have had his website hacked and his email monitored .
Had Jesus attempted to feed large crowds of people , he would have been threatened with arrest for violating various ordinances prohibiting the distribution of food without a permit .
Florida officials arrested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a public beach .
Had Jesus spoken publicly about his 40 days in the desert and his conversations with the devil , he might have been labeled mentally ill and detained in a psych ward against his will for a mandatory involuntary psychiatric hold with no access to family or friends .

Currently , 45 states and the federal government have hate crime laws on the books .

There are upwards of 80,000 such SWAT team raids carried out every year , many on unsuspecting Americans who have no defense against such government invaders , even when such raids are done in error .
Instead of being detained by Roman guards , Jesus might have been made to “ disappear ” into a secret @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been interrogated , tortured and subjected to all manner of abuses .
Chicago police have “ disappeared ” more than 7,000 people into a secret , off-the-books interrogation warehouse at Homan Square .
Charged with treason and labeled a domestic terrorist , Jesus might have been sentenced to a life-term in a private prison where he would have been forced to provide slave labor for corporations or put to death by way of the electric chair or a lethal mixture of drugs .
Indeed , as I show in my book Battlefield America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , given the nature of government then and now , it is painfully evident that whether Jesus had been born in our modern age or his own , he still would have died at the hands of a police state .
Thus , as we draw near to Christmas with its celebrations and gift-giving , we would do well to remember that what happened on that starry night in Bethlehem is only part of the story .
That baby in the manger grew up to be a man who did not turn away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it , and we must do no less .

“When the song of the angels is stilled, when the star in the sky is gone, when the kings and princes are home, when the shepherds are back with their flocks, the work of Christmas begins: to find the lost, to heal the broken, to feed the hungry, to release the prisoner, to rebuild the nations, to bring peace among the people, to make music in the heart.” ― Howard Thurman
The Christmas story of a baby born in a manger is a familiar one.
The Roman Empire, a police state in its own right, had ordered that a census be conducted. Joseph and his pregnant wife Mary traveled to the little town of Bethlehem so that they could be counted. There being no room for the couple at any of the inns, they stayed in a stable (a barn), where Mary gave birth to a baby boy, Jesus. Warned that the government planned to kill the baby, Jesus’ family fled with him to Egypt until it was safe to return to their native land.
Yet what if Jesus had been born 2,000 years later?
What if, instead of being born into the Roman police state, Jesus had been born at this moment in time? What kind of reception would Jesus and his family be given? Would we recognize the Christ child’s humanity, let alone his divinity? Would we treat him any differently than he was treated by the Roman Empire? If his family were forced to flee violence in their native country and sought refuge and asylum within our borders, what sanctuary would we offer them?
A singular number of churches across the country have asked those very questions in recent years, and their conclusions were depicted with unnerving accuracy by nativity scenes in which Jesus and his family are separated, segregated and caged in individual chain-link pens, topped by barbed wire fencing.

Parents across the country have been arrested for far less “offenses” such as allowing their children to walk to the park unaccompanied and play in their front yard alone.
Rather than disappearing from the history books from his early teenaged years to adulthood, Jesus’ movements and personal data—including his biometrics—would have been documented, tracked, monitored and filed by governmental agencies and corporations such as Google and Microsoft. Incredibly, 95 percent of school districts share their student records with outside companies that are contracted to manage data, which they then use to market products to us.

At the very least, he would have had his website hacked and his email monitored.
Had Jesus attempted to feed large crowds of people, he would have been threatened with arrest for violating various ordinances prohibiting the distribution of food without a permit. Florida officials arrested a 90-year-old man for feeding the homeless on a public beach.
Had Jesus spoken publicly about his 40 days in the desert and his conversations with the devil, he might have been labeled mentally ill and detained in a psych ward against his will for a mandatory involuntary psychiatric hold with no access to family or friends. One Virginia man was arrested, strip searched, handcuffed to a table, diagnosed as having “mental health issues,” and locked up for five days in a mental health facility against his will apparently because of his slurred speech and unsteady gait.
Without a doubt, had Jesus attempted to overturn tables in a Jewish temple and rage against the materialism of religious institutions, he would have been charged with a hate crime. Currently, 45 states and the federal government have hate crime laws on the books.
Had anyone reported Jesus to the police as being potentially dangerous, he might have found himself confronted—and killed—by police officers for whom any perceived act of non-compliance (a twitch, a question, a frown) can result in them shooting first and asking questions later.

Thus, as we draw near to Christmas with its celebrations and gift-giving, we would do well to remember that what happened on that starry night in Bethlehem is only part of the story. That baby in the manger grew up to be a man who did not turn away from evil but instead spoke out against it, and we must do no less.

Now , here is a representative that puts his money where his mouth is !
Oregon State Senator Dallas Heard took it to his colleagues in the Oregon Senate on Monday and thrashed the Democrat leadership for holding an “ illegitimate ” session and demanding illegal mask wearing .
When he finished chastising them , he took off his mask in protest waiting to see if they were nothing more than paper tigers… and paper tigers they are .
Here ’ s the video of Heard ’ s allotted time to speak .
“ This is yet another illegitimate session @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the people unfit to participate in person in their own capitol building , ” Heard declared .

You ’ ve oppressed the free peoples of Oregon .
You ’ ve said to me through my caucus leader that we are being forced to wear these masks today and that your false authority will be enforced against any of us who don ’ t submit to you .

Now, here is a representative that puts his money where his mouth is! Oregon State Senator Dallas Heard took it to his colleagues in the Oregon Senate on Monday and thrashed the Democrat leadership for holding an “illegitimate” session and demanding illegal mask wearing. When he finished chastising them, he took off his mask in protest waiting to see if they were nothing more than paper tigers… and paper tigers they are.
Here’s the video of Heard’s allotted time to speak.
“This is yet another illegitimate session where you the Democratic majority have declared the people unfit to participate in person in their own capitol building,” Heard declared. “Let the record reflect that I am in fierce opposition to any legislation that this illegitimate assembly may pass today.”
“You will be held accountable for this in the coming years,” he continued. “You have joined Kate Brown and her campaign against the people and the children of God.”
He then quoted 1 Samuel 2:20.
The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
He then declared, as our forefathers did, “The anointed King of kings is Jesus Christ, and this is His kingdom, not ours.”
Heard then declared, “The days of your unchecked assaults on our freedoms and His children are over. You’ve oppressed the free peoples of Oregon. You’ve said to me through my caucus leader that we are being forced to wear these masks today and that your false authority will be enforced against any of us who don’t submit to you. If you had not done such great evil to my people, and had simply asked me to wear this mask I would have. But you commanded it! And, therefore, I declare my right to protest against your false authority and remove my mask.”
He then declared he would stand for the remainder of his time of 30 seconds to allow those he addressed to determine whether they are “fascists, willing to use the government to force and override my rights or to prove that you are nothing more than bullies and false authorities.”
With that, he was silent and after a few seconds, Senate President Peter Courtney banged his gavel and called on someone else.
However, Heard’s time was not up.
“Your time is up,” Courtney said seconds later as he banged the gavel.
“No it is not Mr. President,” Heard said raising his voice.
This continued until Heard’s microphone was silenced and then he stormed out of the chamber.
According to KMTR, “There were tense moments inside and outside the Capitol on Monday, as – breaking out a window and ”
Well done, Mr. Heard. Now, see it through and start dealing with the removal of people like Mr. Courtney. Don’t let a speech be all there is to this! The people are behind you!

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-23--Criminalizing Of Online Streaming & Meme Sharing Language Stuffed In Omnibus Bill Before Trump

If there wasn ’ t enough unconstitutional spending , including to foreign countries for frivolous things , along with the redistribution of wealth contained in the socialism that we are seeing pushed as COVID relief , we are discovering that in the 5,500 page bill there is also language that has been stuffed it that would criminalize online streaming , as well as meme sharing on social media .
Lawmakers in Congress are under fire from digital rights campaigners for embedding three controversial changes to online copyright and trademark laws into the must-pass $ 2.3 trillion legislative package—which includes a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a $ 900 billion Covid-19 relief bill—that could receive floor votes in the House and Senate as early as Monday evening .
The punitive provisions crammed into the enormous bill ( pdf ) , warned Evan Greer of the digital rights group Fight for the Future , “ threaten ordinary Internet users with up to $ 30,000 in fines for engaging in everyday activity such as downloading an image and re-uploading it… [ or ] sharing memes.
” While the citizenry had almost no time to process the actual contents of the 5,593 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ afternoon that the CASE Act , Felony Streaming Act , and Trademark Modernization Act “ are in fact included in the must-pass omnibus spending bill.
” As Mike Masnick explained in a piece at TechDirt on Monday : “ The fact that these are getting added to the must-pass government funding bill is just bad government , ” Masnick added .
“ And congressional leadership should hear about this.
” According to Fight for the Future , “ More than 20,000 people had called on House and Senate leadership to remove these dangerous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” yet Congress chose to include them anyway .
“ This is atrocious , ” Greer said in her statement .
“ We ’ re facing a massive eviction crisis and millions are unemployed due to the pandemic , but congressional leaders could only muster $ 600 stimulus checks for Covid relief.
” And yet , lawmakers “ managed to cram in handouts for content companies like Disney ?
” Greer continued .
“ The CASE Act is a terribly written law that will threaten ordinary Internet users with huge fines for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absurd that lawmakers included these provisions in a must-pass spending bill.
” Explaining why the inclusion of these provisions is dangerous , Masnick said “ there ’ s a reason [ why ] copyright is generally controversial.
” Even “ small changes ” threaten a “ massive impact on… the public ’ s ability to express themselves , ” he wrote .
The CASE Act would create a quasi-judicial tribunal of “ Copyright Claims Officers ” who would work to resolve infringement claims .
As outlined in the bill , copyright holders could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they find their creative work being shared online .
Proponents of the CASE Act , like the Copyright Alliance , argue that the bill would make it easier for independent artists to bring about copyright claims without having to endure the lengthy and expensive federal courts process .
Still , critics of the bill , like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Fight for the Future , argue that the CASE Act could fine ordinary internet users for engaging in everyday online behavior like sharing memes .
Greer echoed Masnick , saying that “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again that changes to copyright law have profound implications for online freedom of expression and human rights.
” “ Frivolous copyright takedowns are already a huge problem for the next generation of artists and creators , streamers , gamers , and activists , ” Greer noted , advocating instead for what she called “ a fair system that protects human rights and ensures artists are fairly compensated.
” Considering how artists and musicians “ are suffering immensely during the pandemic , ” Greer added , “ Congress should be working quickly to provide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poison-pill legislation into budget bills to appease special interests.
” The way Congress jammed through these changes “ is a total and complete travesty , ” said Masnick .
“ People should be mad about this and should hold the congressional leadership of both parties responsible.
” Calling on “ House and Senate leadership to remove the copyright provisions from the continuing resolution and move them through regular order so we can have transparent and open debate about the right balance , ” Greer said that “ these types of decisions should never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and industry or rushed through as part of some must-pass spending package.
” Indeed !
If this is not a clear infringement upon the rights that are to be protected under the First Amendment , I don ’ t know what is .
Not only should the bill be vetoed , but everyone who inserted anything unconstitutional into the bill should be removed from their seat and charged with conspiracy against the people .

Kenny Stancil writes:
Lawmakers in Congress are under fire from digital rights campaigners for embedding three controversial changes to online copyright and trademark laws into the must-pass $2.3 trillion legislative package—which includes a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill and a $900 billion Covid-19 relief bill—that could receive floor votes in the House and Senate as early as Monday evening.
The punitive provisions crammed into the enormous bill (pdf), warned Evan Greer of the digital rights group Fight for the Future, “threaten ordinary Internet users with up to $30,000 in fines for engaging in everyday activity such as downloading an image and re-uploading it… [or] sharing memes.”
While the citizenry had almost no time to process the actual contents of the 5,593 page legislative text, Greer said Monday afternoon that the CASE Act, Felony Streaming Act, and Trademark Modernization Act “are in fact included in the must-pass omnibus spending bill.”
As Mike Masnick explained in a piece at TechDirt on Monday:
The CASE Act will supercharge copyright trolling exactly at a time when we need to fix the law to have less trolling. And the felony streaming bill (which was only just revealed last week with no debate or discussion) includes provisions that are so confusing and vague no one is sure if it makes sites like Twitch into felons.
“The fact that these are getting added to the must-pass government funding bill is just bad government,” Masnick added. “And congressional leadership should hear about this.”
Um. Admitting that you're using a must pass government funding bill to sneak through legislation that you couldn't pass normally is… a choice I guess. https://t.co/atkS2Ny8nr — Mike Masnick (@mmasnick) December 21, 2020
According to Fight for the Future, “More than 20,000 people had called on House and Senate leadership to remove these dangerous and unnecessary provisions from the must-pass bill,” yet Congress chose to include them anyway.
“This is atrocious,” Greer said in her statement. “We’re facing a massive eviction crisis and millions are unemployed due to the pandemic, but congressional leaders could only muster $600 stimulus checks for Covid relief.”
And yet, lawmakers “managed to cram in handouts for content companies like Disney?” Greer continued. “The CASE Act is a terribly written law that will threaten ordinary Internet users with huge fines for everyday online activity. It’s absurd that lawmakers included these provisions in a must-pass spending bill.”
They're voting soon. Keep making noise! Even if this bill passes we are going to have a massive fight in 2021 to fix the DMCA and defend the rights of Internet users and online creators. Keep retweeting, keep signing petitions, keep sounding the alarm.https://t.co/AuXeBYNEOm — Fight for the Future (@fightfortheftr) December 21, 2020
Explaining why the inclusion of these provisions is dangerous, Masnick said “there’s a reason [why] copyright is generally controversial.” Even “small changes” threaten a “massive impact on… the public’s ability to express themselves,” he wrote.
As The Verge’s Makena Kelly reported:
The CASE Act would create a quasi-judicial tribunal of “Copyright Claims Officers” who would work to resolve infringement claims. As outlined in the bill, copyright holders could be awarded up to $30,000 if they find their creative work being shared online. Proponents of the CASE Act, like the Copyright Alliance, argue that the bill would make it easier for independent artists to bring about copyright claims without having to endure the lengthy and expensive federal courts process. Still, critics of the bill, like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Fight for the Future, argue that the CASE Act could fine ordinary internet users for engaging in everyday online behavior like sharing memes.
Greer echoed Masnick, saying that “we’ve seen time and time again that changes to copyright law have profound implications for online freedom of expression and human rights.”
“Frivolous copyright takedowns are already a huge problem for the next generation of artists and creators, streamers, gamers, and activists,” Greer noted, advocating instead for what she called “a fair system that protects human rights and ensures artists are fairly compensated.”
Considering how artists and musicians “are suffering immensely during the pandemic,” Greer added, “Congress should be working quickly to provide immediate relief, not cramming controversial, poison-pill legislation into budget bills to appease special interests.”
The way Congress jammed through these changes “is a total and complete travesty,” said Masnick. “People should be mad about this and should hold the congressional leadership of both parties responsible.”
Calling on “House and Senate leadership to remove the copyright provisions from the continuing resolution and move them through regular order so we can have transparent and open debate about the right balance,” Greer said that “these types of decisions should never be made in closed-door negotiations between politicians and industry or rushed through as part of some must-pass spending package.”
Indeed! If this is not a clear infringement upon the rights that are to be protected under the First Amendment, I don’t know what is. Not only should the bill be vetoed, but everyone who inserted anything unconstitutional into the bill should be removed from their seat and charged with conspiracy against the people.

OK, look, I’ve already covered the fact that the COVID relief bill is more pork, foreign country aid of some sort or another and more unconstitutional spending all the way around. President Trump has pointed out there’s lots of spending in the bill and contrasts it with a mere $600 check to the American people. Funny thing is, he doesn’t condemn any of it as unconstitutional, but instead, he is advocating for more money for the American people in this unlawful boondoggle; and for those paying attention, this is how the DC WWE battle works.
Here’s Trump’s statement on the bill.
“Throughout the summer, Democrats cruelly blocked COVID relief legislation in an effort to advance their extreme left-wing agenda and influence the election,” Trump began. “Then, a few months ago, Congress started negotiations on a new package to get urgently needed help to the American people. It’s taken forever. However, the bill they are planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated.”
“For example, among the more than 5,000 pages in this bill, which nobody in Congress has read because of its length and complexity,” he said. “It’s called the COVID relief bill, but it has almost nothing to do with COVID.”
Yeah, well, that previous one that could total up to $6.5 trillion had almost nothing to do with COVID. In fact, the bill was approved by the House in January 2019 and sat in Limbo for months until they decided to stuff it with all that unconstitutional spending, including bailouts for banksters, businesses, corporations and that frivolous check to Americans for $1,200, but Trump signed that quickly, didn’t he?
And though Trump rightly calls out the fact that no one has read the bill entirely and the money going to foreign countries and the massive spending on various “studies” on the domestic front, not once does he say it’s unconstitutional! Not once!
However, he does pit those numbers, along with illegal aliens getting checks for up to $1,800 against American citizens getting $600.
“I’m asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000 or $4,000 for a couple,” Trump said. “I’m also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation and to send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package.”
He calls it “wasteful and unnecessary items.” While that is true, he should be using the term “unconstitutional,” but that would then get himself in trouble for signing similar legislation throughout his term in office.
Now, don’t think I’m just picking on Trump. He just happens to be the guy in the White House currently. When Obama was in office, I wrote about his signing unconstitutional legislation, as well as pointing out the man wasn’t even constitutionally qualified to be in office in the first place, which is why I never refer to him as a president. Should Joe Biden take office, he’ll get the same treatment because he’s already voiced support for unconstitutional legislation and promoted unconstitutional spending during his time in the US Senate, as well as vice president.
If you are wondering why I keep bringing up this issue of unconstitutional spending, it’s because people have forgotten what we have restricted the federal government to write legislation on and by definition, what they can spend money on.
And the President is supposed to make sure he is not signing legislation that goes beyond those bounds, not encourage it and pile on his own.
Let me remind you of Trump’s words in 2019.
He keeps using that word. I don’t think he knows what it means… or does he?

Who gets to live or die? Much like in Nazi Germany, it helps to be a member of the right race.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has announced that the priorities for distributing vaccines are to prevent death, preserve society, and help those facing “disparities”, and then maybe, “increase the chance for everyone to enjoy health and well-being.”
Vaccine distribution is to be guided by four principles, one of which is to fight “health inequities” and another is to “promote justice”. It’s not the CDC’s job to fight for social justice, but to fight viruses. Having failed miserably at its one job, which it chose not to do, it’s instead pursuing racial equity eugenics by tackling “health inequities” for “racial and ethnic minority groups”.
The CDC and NIH had turned to the National Academies to produce A Framework for Equitable Allocation of Vaccine for the Novel Coronavirus which falsely claimed that “COVID-19 illnesses and deaths are strongly associated with race” due to “systemic racism” and that a “vaccine allocation framework” had to reduce these “health inequities” with affirmative action.
The report noted that the “committee anticipates that the criteria will, in practice, tend to give higher priority to lower-income individuals… and Black, Hispanic or Latin, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities.”
A government agency had paid for and was making use of a report which would decide who was to live or die based on race and income. And no one was willing to say a word about it.
Tennessee’s Department of Health had already announced that it would be using the National Academies report and intended to dedicate 10% of the vaccines to SVI “vulnerable” areas.
The eugenics strategy of public health had been baked in long before the pandemic with the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index. SVI was supposed to help rush aid during a natural disaster to those who might need it the most, but SVI added race as a “vulnerability” to create affirmative action disaster relief. During a hurricane, your odds of getting help increased if you were in a minority area. And it decreased if you ranked higher on the SVI because you had more income.

The Minnesota guidelines define “other attributes to be considered in prioritization” as including, “people from certain racial and ethnic minority groups who are
disproportionately affected by COVID-19”: treating minority status as a medical vulnerability.
That’s how ‘health equity’ medicalizes minority status and turns it into a medical disability.
States that don’t use the SVI may actually be using even more outrageously racist guidelines. California’s Community Vaccine Advisory Committee began with proposals to have groups that were the victims of “historical injustices” be first in line for the vaccine.

The elderly should not get access to the vaccine earlier because they are on average more likely to be white and wealthy and saving their lives first would widen “racial and socioeconomic disparities”.
A decade after Obamacare opponents were ridiculed for warning about death panels, national and local governments are following triage measures that decide who lives or dies by race.
The CDC evolved and deployed this policy while Republicans were at the helm, and did nothing.
It’s not too late to stop it.
President Trump can clean house at the CDC and take as many of the decisions about vaccine policy out of its hands as possible. Republican governors and legislatures should stop letting the same experts who have botched the pandemic every step of the way use SVI for the vaccine.
Whatever happens this time around, using tools like SVI creates a horrifying legal and medical precedent in which medical treatment gets allocated based on minority status. As socialized medicine digs deeper into medical decision making, this will become the norm.
Beyond the pandemic, waiting for a kidney transplant, hip replacement surgery, or a scarce medication will be determined by medicalizing privilege and treating minority status as an illness in greater need of care and ‘whiteness’ as a sign of health privilege that requires less care.
Affirmative action is merging with death panels to transform equity into triage. If we don’t stop it, it will kill us. Reverting to the worst abuses of segregation will kill our souls and then our bodies.

Eric Coomer, the security director at the Colorado-based company, says he started receiving death threats after Trump surrogates and media outlets suggested that he used his position at Dominion, whose voting machines were used in several battleground states, to ensure that Democrat Joe Biden prevailed in the November 3 contest, according to RT.
Donald Trump released a video explaining why this election fight is still not over, even though this lawsuit makes it look that way.
The story blaming Coomer spread across conservative media after Oltmann was interviewed by Malkin and Gateway Pundit, and even caught the eye of the president’s son, Eric, who tweeted about it. OANN reported the alleged conversation and Powell and Giuliani pointed to Coomer’s anti-Trump posts on social media as evidence that Dominion may be politically compromised.
The lawsuit acknowledged that Coomer criticized the president on his private Facebook page, but says the account is no longer active. The episode made Coomer, what he claims as “the face of false claims” regarding Dominion’s alleged role in tipping the scales in the presidential election, his lawyers said. The security director reportedly became the target of death threats after right-wing websites posted his photo, home address, and details about his family.
Dominion machines have been the subject of numerous legal challenges questioning the integrity of the 2020 election results. A recent court-ordered audit of Dominion systems used in Michigan concluded that the machines are “intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.” –RT

State police pushed the crowd back and at one point deployed blue pepper spray.
Police say the pepper spray was used in response to officers being sprayed by the protesters.
“At one point we used pepper balls. I don’t know what else,” Salem Police Lt. Teven Upkes told the Statesman-Journal. “When people attempted to come in to the building they actually used pepper spray and other things on officers.

At one point, Oregon State Senator Dallas Heard (R-Roseburg) came out and addressed the protesters.

“This is yet another illegitimate session in which you, the democratic majority, have declared the people unfit to participate in person in their own Capitol building,” Heard said on the floor of the Senate, according to KEZI ABC9. “Let the record reflect that I am in fierce opposition to any legislation that this illegitimate assembly may pass today. You will be held accountable for this in the coming years.”
“I declare my right to protest against your false authority and remove my mask,” the senator said while taking off his mask. “I will stand here for 30 seconds while you decide if you are fascists willing to use the government to force and override my rights or to prove that you are nothing more than bullies and false authorities.”

It looks apparent to me that the people of Oregon have had enough of the tyranny since their employees have forgotten who is the boss. Sadly, it has taken a long time to get to this point, but if the people stand fast and remain vigilant and steadfast, they will see a victory, but they have to keep at it. We’re behind you, patriots!
