thewashingtonstandard--2020-03-02--Vaccine Truths The CDC, WHO & The UN Don’t Want You To Know

Immunizations continue to be at the forefront in federal government programs and in states that create legislation with mandates for vaccine compliance .
Each state has vaccination requirements for children entering kindergarten , including Idaho , with some states requiring more vaccines than others .
While all school immunization laws grant vaccine exemptions for medical reasons , many states are now creating legislation that would remove exemptions for philosophical or religious reasons such as California , Mississippi , and West Virginia .
While retaining the medical exemption , California now has a new law that any physician writing a medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state for final approval .
This is a pretty scary concept , a state interfering in a patient-physician relationship .
Even though the Center for Disease Control ( CDC ) is allegedly a federal program , it created a strategic plan for global immunization , aligning with the UN World Health Organization ( WHO ) Immunization Agenda 2030 , and the UN Children ’ s Fund ( UNICEF ) immunization program , considering vaccinations as a “ right ” .
As a result of the strategic plan , CDC now has a computerized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been given immunizations .
Although voluntary at this point , when will it become mandatory ?
Working with WHO and UNICEF , CDC is in the process of developing its second phase of the 2021–2030 global immunization plan .
The ultimate WHO goal is to “ immunize more people , from infants to seniors , with a greater range of vaccines ” which is part of Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goal 3.8 , Ensuring Healthy Lives and Promote Wellbeing For All at All Ages .

” Ms. Holland received a standing ovation for her speech .
However , in spite of its rhetoric , it is well known that the UN is a despot organization that is using deception by manipulating the truth and dismissing an educated public .
Now , the UN , and our own government , has made citizens the target for not swallowing the immunization agenda , even assigning the insulting name anti-vaxxers to those who oppose vaccinations .
Going even further , UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore states , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a disease ” , and “ poses an imminent threat to public health ” .
At the same time the WHO Chief Scientist , Dr. Soumya Swaminathan , admitted that vaccines cause deaths for some patients , then immediately tossed out a more politically correct whitewashed version , uh , explanation .
While Ms. Swaminathan dismisses a child ’ s death from a vaccination as being “ blown up by the media ” , that statement does nothing more than validate her cold indifference towards humans .
The real truth is that these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr. Lawrence Palevsky provided some significant information and a phenomenal explanation about vaccinations in a speech to the Connecticut Legislature in 2019 .

Turkey has opened the floodgates.
From The BBC:

Front 14 adds:
Following the military escalation between the Russian-backed Syrian army and the Turkish regime, combined with announcements from Turkey that it would be making good on previous threats to flood Europe with migrants, Greece has completely sealed off its border with Turkey.
The Greek government has deployed fifty navy warships to protect the Greek islands and ten helicopters to guard land borders against foreign invaders sent by the Erdogan regime, German daily tabloid Bild reports.
The seemingly drastic moves come after a veiled threat made by the spokesperson for Turkey’s ruling AKP party, Ömer Celik, who earlier had alluded to the fact that Turkey’s borders to Europe could be opened.
“Our refugee policy remains the same, but here we have a situation. We can no longer keep the refugees,” Celik said.
Although the Turkish government hasn’t made an official statement announcing that the border has been opened, a source told journalists from the news agency Reuters that all Turkish border guards, coastguards officer, and police had all been ordered to stand down, Voice of Europe reported.
Adding weight to that claim, Turkish journalist Ragip Solyu wrote on Twitter that the Turkish border would be open for the next 72 hours to any and all migrants who would like to make their way to continental Europe.
Numerous videos have surfaced on social media depicting fighting-aged male migrants clashing with Greek border guards and security forces at various Greek-Turkish land borders.
#####
Finally more of Europe is taking a stand against the migrant invasion.
There are a few countries taking a stand but not enough.
Pray for Greece and all of Europe.
Europe may already be lost, but if it is not then Greece seems to be its last line of defense.
If this new invasion takes hold then it is hard to see Europe ever recovering.
It would take generations just to regain the cultural identity Europe has already lost.
If more Muslim migrants enter that longshot logically becomes an impossibility.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-03-03--Missouri:  School Cop Tasked With “Protecting” Young Children, Arrested For Child Sex Trafficking

Poplar Bluff , MO — There are so many cases each week of police officers getting caught with child porn or sexually assaulting children that TFTP can not report on all of them .

Poplar Bluff, MO — There are so many cases each week of police officers getting caught with child porn or sexually assaulting children that TFTP cannot report on all of them. However, the following case out of Missouri is so disconcerting that we felt it was necessary to make a point. Child predators often seek out positions of authority which allow them to carry out their sick desires while garnering the trust of those around them. Poplar Bluff police officer Brandon Michael Hopper was one of these predators.
Last week, the 39-year-old was charged with the unclassified felony of first-degree sexual trafficking of a child, the Class B felony of first-degree promoting child pornography and two Class D felonies of possession of child pornography by Butler County Prosecuting Attorney Kacey Proctor.
Hopper was a ten year veteran of the department who had requested and received the position as a School Resource Officer (SRO) at Poplar Bluff Middle School last year. The school district welcomed this child predator to “protect” young children with open arms, because, after all, his badge made him a pillar of the community.
Investigators reportedly received a cyber tip that Hopper was engaged in the transfer of child pornography and looked into the claims. What they found was utterly sickening.
After his arrest, Poplar Bluff Police Department stated:
“The information indicated one of our officers was possibly sharing child pornography. As this involves one of our own employees, we are respectfully requesting the DDCC (Drug and Crime Control Division) handle the investigation. The Poplar Bluff Police Department is cooperating fully with the on-going investigation regarding a now-former employee of its force.”
The investigation led to the arrest of Amber Longhibler, 28, who was also arrested on Wednesday. She was charged with sexual trafficking of a child, promoting child pornography and four counts of possession of child pornography, according to KFVS.
In an interview which took place inside Longhibler’s home, investigators said she admitted to taking pictures of a nude 11-year-old girl.
Longhibler stated she took the photos at Hopper’s request, and sent them to him over the internet, according to KFVS.
When investigators searched both cell phones, they reported they found this conversation between the two:
Hopper asked Longhilber to: “send me some [child’s name] pics to trade, obviously no face pics.”
Longhilber replied: “I’ll send you what I have.”
Longhilber then sent two close up photos of a prepubescent female child’s privates.
According to investigators, when questioned, Hopper admitted to having the images on his phone. When the Missouri State Highway Patrol Division of Drug and Crime Control’s Digital Forensics Investigative and Criminal Investigative Unit examined the school cop’s phone, they found other disturbing images and videos as well, including a video of an adult male and a four-year-old girl, and a video of an adult male and a 10-year-old girl.
“We have been advised that charges have been filed against a law enforcement officer employed by the Poplar Bluff Police Department, who was recently assigned in our school system,” said Poplar Bluff R-1 Superintendent Scott Dill. “We are cooperating fully with state law enforcement agencies as they conduct their investigation into this matter.”
As a district, Dill said, school officials “remain committed to the safety of every student entrusted to our care.
“If you have any information about this incident, I urge you to contact the Missouri State Highway Patrol.”
Since his job at the school was relatively new, hopefully, he wasn’t yet able to harm any children he was tasked with “protecting.” However, because he was so brazen about receiving the child porn in the first place, it is likely that this was not his first offense.
It should also be pointed out that the stories in the local media all referred to Hopper as a “former” officer arrested for child trafficking and child porn. This tactic is likely used to imply that the crimes were not committed by an actual current cop. However, he was not fired from the department until after he admitted to the crimes and was arrested. It is shameful indeed that blue privilege reaches so deep—even when involving those who prey on children.

These people don’t even know our founding documents, the Bible or the Creator as they are constantly spewing forth their hatred of all of them. While some call it a moment of forgetfulness on the part of former vice president Joe Biden, I’d say it’s hard to forget what you never knew. Yet, the disrespectful and blasphemous way Joe Biden referred to our Creator, without apology while trying to recite the Declaration of Independence only goes to show what kind of man he truly is and why he shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office.
In a rally held on Monday, Biden clearly couldn’t keep his thoughts together when he stammered through reciting the Declaration of Independence.
“We hold these truths to be self evident,” Biden said, “All men and women created by the, go, you know, you know the thing.”
The Thing?
Of course, the Declaration of Independence actually reads:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Take a look.
Now, to be fair, Biden, in referencing “the thing,” could have been referring to the Declaration of Independence quote and not the Creator, but one wonders since his party is the one that is continuously desiring to get God out of anything and everything while trying to use God politically.
Then again, Biden could have been referring to John Carpenter’s “The Thing.” Nah, pretty sure that wasn’t it.
Clearly, Biden is not only unfit for office on moral grounds, but he isn’t fit for office in knowing our founding documents nor the Bible.
Creepy Joe needs to actually be prosecuted for his crimes, but as of yet, just like the rest of the criminals in the Obama administration that remain free, all this administration can do is point the finger and tell you they are guilty, but never bring the resolve they promised you, America.
And yes, I know, we’re told if we just re-elect him, we’ll see that.
That’s what his first election was to do. He didn’t deliver.
Just saying, in case you are still chasing that carrot.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-03-03--Could the End of the Afghanistan Misadventure Finally Be At Hand?

Afghanistan “ is not going to become Switzerland overnight , ” an American official said as the U.S. and the Taliban signed a peace accord on Saturday morning , and you have to admire his understatement .
The United States has sacrificed the lives of numerous heroic service members and squandered trillions for nearly two decades now in the fond hope that it could remake Afghanistan into Switzerland , and the one good thing about this “ peace accord ” with the Taliban is that it heralds the long-overdue end of this fool ’ s errand .
The old assumptions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that have multiply failed , are still prevalent .
The usual objections are being made .
In its story on the peace accord , the Washington Free Beacon reported that “ a group of Republican members of Congress ” had petitioned the Trump administration , asking the President not to go through with the agreement .
“ They and other critics say the Taliban can not be trusted to implement peace and that the moment U.S. forces vacate the country , terror forces will again rise to power.
” This echoed a statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who said : “ We are never going to get the U.S. military out of Afghanistan unless we take care to see that there is something going on that will provide the stability that will be necessary for us to leave.
” The unnamed American official said : “ Everybody has the same goals .
No one wants to see the return of the Islamic Emirate.
” Well , sure .
Everybody , that is , except the Taliban , who are still determined to reestablish their Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ terror forces ” will indeed make every effort to “ again rise to power.
” There will not be “ stability ” in Afghanistan .
Does that mean that we have to keep troops there forever ?
Or should the United States focus on what is best for America in Afghanistan , working to ensure that the Taliban can not engage in international jihad terror activity , and otherwise leaving the Afghans to their own devices ?
The U.S./Taliban peace talks are a good thing if they do indeed become the pretext @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they have nonetheless been a grim charade .
No one in the foreign policy establishment will acknowledge the fact , but the Taliban are strict , Sharia-observant Muslims , and the Sharia guidelines for treaty-making with Infidels are based on Muhammad ’ s Treaty of Hudaybiyya .
Muslims can only enter into such a treaty when they are weak and need time to gather their strength ( or , more remotely , if they think the enemy is about to convert to Islam ) .
Then they can break it when it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not honor whatever treaty is made .
Al-Qaeda and the Taliban and the Islamic State are in Afghanistan , and just biding their time until we leave .
What we should do is pull out and adopt a strategy modeled after the old containment strategy that was used in the Cold War .
I ’ ve harshly criticized the foreign policy establishment for retaining old Cold War paradigms and failing to adapt to the new realities of the world , particularly the resurgent jihad , but in this case , the wonks would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history .
What would be contained today would be jihadis : we would focus our efforts on preventing them from ever leaving Afghanistan and sowing mayhem anywhere else , while giving up our quixotic aspirations of Wilsonian nation-building .

Afghanistan “is not going to become Switzerland overnight,” an American official said as the U.S. and the Taliban signed a peace accord on Saturday morning, and you have to admire his understatement. The United States has sacrificed the lives of numerous heroic service members and squandered trillions for nearly two decades now in the fond hope that it could remake Afghanistan into Switzerland, and the one good thing about this “peace accord” with the Taliban is that it heralds the long-overdue end of this fool’s errand.
The old assumptions, although they have led to policies that have multiply failed, are still prevalent. The usual objections are being made. In its story on the peace accord, the Washington Free Beacon reported that “a group of Republican members of Congress” had petitioned the Trump administration, asking the President not to go through with the agreement. “They and other critics say the Taliban cannot be trusted to implement peace and that the moment U.S. forces vacate the country, terror forces will again rise to power.”
This echoed a statement from former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who said: “We are never going to get the U.S. military out of Afghanistan unless we take care to see that there is something going on that will provide the stability that will be necessary for us to leave.”
The unnamed American official said: “Everybody has the same goals. No one wants to see the return of the Islamic Emirate.” Well, sure. Everybody, that is, except the Taliban, who are still determined to reestablish their Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan. Once the American troops finally leave, “terror forces” will indeed make every effort to “again rise to power.” There will not be “stability” in Afghanistan. Does that mean that we have to keep troops there forever? Or should the United States focus on what is best for America in Afghanistan, working to ensure that the Taliban cannot engage in international jihad terror activity, and otherwise leaving the Afghans to their own devices?
The U.S./Taliban peace talks are a good thing if they do indeed become the pretext for bringing American troops home, but they have nonetheless been a grim charade. No one in the foreign policy establishment will acknowledge the fact, but the Taliban are strict, Sharia-observant Muslims, and the Sharia guidelines for treaty-making with Infidels are based on Muhammad’s Treaty of Hudaybiyya. Muslims can only enter into such a treaty when they are weak and need time to gather their strength (or, more remotely, if they think the enemy is about to convert to Islam). Then they can break it when it is no longer needed. The Taliban will not honor whatever treaty is made.
Al-Qaeda and the Taliban and the Islamic State are in Afghanistan, and just biding their time until we leave. What we should do is pull out and adopt a strategy modeled after the old containment strategy that was used in the Cold War. I’ve harshly criticized the foreign policy establishment for retaining old Cold War paradigms and failing to adapt to the new realities of the world, particularly the resurgent jihad, but in this case, the wonks would do well to revisit some Cold War history.
What would be contained today would be jihadis: we would focus our efforts on preventing them from ever leaving Afghanistan and sowing mayhem anywhere else, while giving up our quixotic aspirations of Wilsonian nation-building. Accompany that with a robust and unapologetic affirmation of American values (freedom of speech, equality of rights of women, etc.) instead of the support we have given to Sharia in Afghanistan (and previously in Iraq), and an honest acknowledgment of the motivating ideology behind jihad activity, and we might actually start getting somewhere.
The fool’s errand in Afghanistan has had no goal, no endpoint, no definition of victory. It should have been ended years ago, and it is good that it is finally coming to an end. What have we been fighting for, anyway? The Taliban are never going to surrender. American forces have supervised the implementation of an Afghan constitution that enshrined Islamic law as the highest law of the land. Yet Islamic law is nothing like the democratic principles that we went into Afghanistan to defend (over here) and establish (over there). Sharia institutionalizes the oppression of women and non-Muslims, extinguishes freedom of speech, and denies the freedom of conscience.
Was that what we were fighting for?
Nonetheless, America continued to pour out her blood and treasure for this repressive state, with no clear objective or mission in view. No one defined what victory would look like in Afghanistan. Has the Ghani regime ever allowed women to throw off their burqas and take their place in Afghan society as human beings equal in dignity to men? Does the Ghani government, or any Afghan government that would follow it, ever intend to guarantee basic human rights to the tiny and ever-dwindling number of non-Muslims unfortunate enough to live within its borders? Of course not.
And no matter how long American troops stay in Afghanistan, no Afghan regime is ever going to do such things. But nonetheless, we have remained there. It’s long past time to end this travesty.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-03-03--Coronavirus vs. Mass Surveillance State: Which Poses the Greater Threat?

Emboldened by the citizenry ’ s inattention and willingness to tolerate its abuses , the government has weaponized one national crisis after another in order to expands its powers .
The war on terror , the war on drugs , the war on illegal immigration , asset forfeiture schemes , road safety schemes , school safety schemes , eminent domain : all of these programs started out as legitimate responses to pressing concerns and have since become weapons of compliance and control in the police state ’ s hands .
It doesn ’ t even matter what the nature of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national emergencies , “ unforeseen economic collapse , loss of functioning political and legal order , purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency , pervasive public health emergencies , and catastrophic natural and human disasters ” —as long as it allows the government to justify all manner of government tyranny in the so-called name of national security .
Now we find ourselves on the brink of a possible coronavirus contagion .
I ’ ll leave the media and the medical community to speculate about the impact the coronavirus will have on the nation ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s War on the Coronavirus impact our freedoms ?
For a hint of what ’ s in store , you can look to China—our role model for all things dystopian—where the contagion started .
In an attempt to fight the epidemic , the government has given its surveillance state apparatus—which boasts the most expansive and sophisticated surveillance system in the world—free rein .
Thermal scanners using artificial intelligence ( AI ) have been installed at train stations in major cities to assess body temperatures and identify anyone with a fever .
Facial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people ’ s movements constantly , reporting in real time to data centers that can be accessed by government agents and employers alike .
And coded color alerts ( red , yellow and green ) sort people into health categories that correspond to the amount of freedom of movement they ’ re allowed : “ Green code , travel freely .
Red or yellow , report immediately.
” Mind you , prior to the coronavirus outbreak , the Chinese surveillance state had already been hard at work tracking its citizens through the use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nationwide .
Equipped with facial recognition technology , the cameras allow authorities to track so-called criminal acts , such as jaywalking , which factor into a person ’ s social credit score .
Social media credit scores assigned to Chinese individuals and businesses categorize them on whether or not they are “ good ” citizens .
A real-name system—which requires people to use government-issued ID cards to buy mobile sims , obtain social media accounts , take a train , board a plane , or even buy groceries—coupled with social media credit scores @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” are banned from accessing financial markets , buying real estate or travelling by air or train .
Among the activities that can get you labeled unworthy are taking reserved seats on trains or causing trouble in hospitals .
That same social credit score technology used to identify , track and segregate citizens is now one of China ’ s chief weapons in its fight to contain the coronavirus from spreading .
However , it is far from infallible and a prime example of the difficulties involved in navigating an autonomous system where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ For instance , one woman , who has no symptoms of the virus but was assigned a red code based on a visit to her hometown , has been blocked from returning to her home and job until her color code changes .
She has been stuck in this state of limbo for weeks with no means of challenging the color code or knowing exactly why she ’ s been assigned a red code .
Fighting the coronavirus epidemic has given China the perfect excuse for unleashing the full force of its surveillance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as Eamon Barrett acknowledges in Fortune magazine , is what happens after : “ Once the outbreak is controlled , it ’ s unclear whether the government will retract its new powers.
” The lesson for the ages : once any government is allowed to expand its powers , it ’ s almost impossible to pull back .
Meanwhile , here in the U.S. , the government thus far has limited its coronavirus preparations to missives advising the public to stay calm , wash their hands , and cover their mouths when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t go underestimating the government ’ s ability to lock the nation down if the coronavirus turns into a pandemic , however .
After all , the government has been planning and preparing for such a crisis for years now .
The building blocks are already in place for such an eventuality : the surveillance networks , fusion centers and government contractors that already share information in real time ; the government ’ s massive biometric databases that can identify individuals based on genetic and biological markers ; the militarized police , working @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and able to coordinate with the federal government when it ’ s time to round up the targeted individuals ; the courts that will sanction the government ’ s methods , no matter how unlawful , as long as it ’ s done in the name of national security ; and the detention facilities , whether private prisons or FEMA internment camps , that have been built and are waiting to be filled .
Now all of this may sound far-fetched to you now , but we ’ ve already arrived at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s 1984 , Aldous Huxley ’ s Brave New World , and Philip K. Dick ’ s Minority Report .
It won ’ t take much more to push us over the edge into Neill Blomkamp ’ s Elysium , in which the majority of humanity is relegated to an overpopulated , diseased , warring planet where the government employs technologies such as drones , tasers and biometric scanners to track , target and control the populace .
Mind you , while these technologies are already in use today and being hailed for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ benefits , it won ’ t be long before the drawbacks to having a government equipped with technology that makes it all-seeing , all-knowing , and all-powerful——helped along by the citizenry—far outdistance the benefits .
On a daily basis , Americans are relinquishing ( in many cases , voluntarily ) the most intimate details of who we are—their biological makeup , our genetic blueprints , and our biometrics ( facial characteristics and structure , fingerprints , iris scans , etc . )
—in order to navigate an increasingly technologically-enabled world .
Consider all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , hunted , hounded , and stalked by the government and its dubious agents : By tapping into your phone lines and cell phone communications , the government knows what you say .
By uploading all of your emails , opening your mail , and reading your Facebook posts and text messages , the government knows what you write .
By monitoring your movements with the use of license plate readers , surveillance cameras and other tracking devices , the government knows where you go .
By churning through all of the detritus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you go , what you say—the government can predict what you will do .
By mapping the synapses in your brain , scientists—and in turn , the government—will soon know what you remember .
By mapping your biometrics—your “ face-print ” —and storing the information in a massive , shared government database available to bureaucratic agencies , police and the military , the government ’ s goal is to use facial recognition software to identify you ( and every other person in the country ) and track your movements , wherever you go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the government will soon know everything else about you that they don ’ t already know : your family chart , your ancestry , what you look like , your health history , your inclination to follow orders or chart your own course , etc .
Of course , none of these technologies are foolproof .
Nor are they immune from tampering , hacking or user bias .
Nevertheless , they have become a convenient tool in the hands of government agents to render null and void the Constitution ’ s requirements of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and seizures .
The ramifications of a government—any government—having this much unregulated , unaccountable power to target , track , round up and detain its citizens is beyond chilling .
Imagine what a totalitarian regime such as Nazi Germany could have done with this kind of unadulterated power .
Imagine what the next police state to follow in Germany ’ s footsteps will do with this kind of power .
Society is rapidly moving in that direction .
We ’ ve made it so easy for the government to watch us .
Government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you read , how much you spend , where you go , with whom you interact , when you wake up in the morning , what you ’ re watching on television and reading on the internet .
Every move you make is being monitored , mined for data , crunched , and tabulated in order to form a picture of who you are , what makes you tick , and how best to control you when and if it becomes necessary to bring you in line .
Chances are , as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already been assigned a color-coded threat assessment score—green , yellow or red—so police are forewarned about your potential inclination to be a troublemaker depending on whether you ’ ve had a career in the military , posted a comment perceived as threatening on Facebook , suffer from a particular medical condition , or know someone who knows someone who might have committed a crime .
In other words , you ’ re most likely already flagged in a government database somewhere .
The government has the know-how .
Indeed , for years now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conspired to acquire near-limitless power and control over biometric information collected on law-abiding individuals , millions of whom have never been accused of a crime .
Going far beyond the scope of those with criminal backgrounds , the FBI ’ s Next Generation Identification database ( NGID ) , a billion dollar boondoggle that is aimed at dramatically expanding the government ’ s ID database from a fingerprint system to a vast data storehouse of iris scans , photos searchable with face recognition technology , palm prints , and measures of gait and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scars , and tattoos .
Launched in 2008 , the NGID is a massive biometric database that contains more than 100 million fingerprints and 45 million facial photos gathered from a variety of sources ranging from criminal suspects and convicts to daycare workers and visa applicants , including millions of people who have never committed or even been accused of a crime .
In other words , innocent American citizens are now automatically placed in a suspect database .
For a long time , the government was required to at least observe some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how it could access someone ’ s biometrics and DNA and use it against them .
That is no longer the case .
The information is being amassed through a variety of routine procedures , with the police leading the way as prime collectors of biometrics for something as non-threatening as a simple moving violation .
The nation ’ s courts are also doing their part to “ build ” the database , requiring biometric information as a precursor to more lenient sentences .
And of course , Corporate America ( including Google @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) has made it so easy to use one ’ s biometrics to access everything from bank accounts to cell phones .
We ’ ve made it so easy for the government to target , identify and track us .
Add pre-crime programs into the mix with government agencies and corporations working in tandem to determine who is a potential danger and spin a sticky spider-web of threat assessments , behavioral sensing warnings , flagged “ words , ” and “ suspicious ” activity reports using automated eyes and ears , social media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spies , and you having the makings for a perfect dystopian nightmare .
This is the kind of oppressive pre-crime and pre-thought crime package foreshadowed by George Orwell , Aldous Huxley and Phillip K. Dick .
Remember , even the most well-intentioned government law or program can be—and has been—perverted , corrupted and used to advance illegitimate purposes once profit and power are added to the equation .
In the right ( or wrong ) hands , benevolent plans can easily be put to malevolent purposes .
Surveillance , digital stalking and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to a society in which there ’ s little room for indiscretions , imperfections , or acts of independence .
This is the creepy , calculating yet diabolical genius of the American police state : the very technology we hailed as revolutionary and liberating has become our prison , jailer , probation officer , Big Brother and Father Knows Best all rolled into one .
It turns out that we are Soylent Green .
The 1973 film of the same name , starring Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson , is set @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , starving New York City whose inhabitants depend on synthetic foods manufactured by the Soylent Corporation for survival .
Heston plays a policeman investigating a murder , who discovers the grisly truth about the primary ingredient in the wafer , soylent green , which is the principal source of nourishment for a starved population .
“ It ’ s people .
Soylent Green is made out of people , ” declares Heston ’ s character .
“ They ’ re making our food out of people .
Next thing they ’ ll be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oh , how right he was .
Soylent Green is indeed people or , in our case , Soylent Green is our own personal data , repossessed , repackaged and used by corporations and the government to entrap us .
Without constitutional protections in place to guard against encroachments on our rights when power , technology and militaristic governance converge , it won ’ t be long before we find ourselves , much like Edward G. Robinson ’ s character in Soylent Green , looking back on the past with longing , back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to whom we wanted , buy what we wanted , think what we wanted , and go where we wanted without those thoughts , words and movements being tracked , processed and stored by corporate giants such as Google , sold to government agencies such as the NSA and CIA , and used against us by militarized police with their army of futuristic technologies .
We ’ re not quite there yet .
But that moment of reckoning is getting closer by the minute .
In the meantime , we ’ ve got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ahead and wash your hands .
Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze .
And stock up on whatever you might need to survive this virus if it spreads to your community .
We are indeed at our most vulnerable right now , but as I make clear in my book Battlefield America : The War on the American People , it ’ s the American Surveillance State—not the coronavirus—that poses the greatest threat to our freedoms .

Emboldened by the citizenry’s inattention and willingness to tolerate its abuses, the government has weaponized one national crisis after another in order to expands its powers.
The war on terror, the war on drugs, the war on illegal immigration, asset forfeiture schemes, road safety schemes, school safety schemes, eminent domain: all of these programs started out as legitimate responses to pressing concerns and have since become weapons of compliance and control in the police state’s hands.
It doesn’t even matter what the nature of the crisis might be—civil unrest, the national emergencies, “unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies, and catastrophic natural and human disasters”—as long as it allows the government to justify all manner of government tyranny in the so-called name of national security.
Now we find ourselves on the brink of a possible coronavirus contagion.
I’ll leave the media and the medical community to speculate about the impact the coronavirus will have on the nation’s health, but how will the government’s War on the Coronavirus impact our freedoms?
For a hint of what’s in store, you can look to China—our role model for all things dystopian—where the contagion started.
In an attempt to fight the epidemic, the government has given its surveillance state apparatus—which boasts the most expansive and sophisticated surveillance system in the world—free rein.

And coded color alerts (red, yellow and green) sort people into health categories that correspond to the amount of freedom of movement they’re allowed: “Green code, travel freely. Red or yellow, report immediately.”
Mind you, prior to the coronavirus outbreak, the Chinese surveillance state had already been hard at work tracking its citizens through the use of some 200 million security cameras installed nationwide. Equipped with facial recognition technology, the cameras allow authorities to track so-called criminal acts, such as jaywalking, which factor into a person’s social credit score.
Social media credit scores assigned to Chinese individuals and businesses categorize them on whether or not they are “good” citizens. A real-name system—which requires people to use government-issued ID cards to buy mobile sims, obtain social media accounts, take a train, board a plane, or even buy groceries—coupled with social media credit scores ensures that those blacklisted as “unworthy” are banned from accessing financial markets, buying real estate or travelling by air or train. Among the activities that can get you labeled unworthy are taking reserved seats on trains or causing trouble in hospitals.
That same social credit score technology used to identify, track and segregate citizens is now one of China’s chief weapons in its fight to contain the coronavirus from spreading. However, it is far from infallible and a prime example of the difficulties involved in navigating an autonomous system where disembodied AI systems call the shots. For instance, one woman, who has no symptoms of the virus but was assigned a red code based on a visit to her hometown, has been blocked from returning to her home and job until her color code changes. She has been stuck in this state of limbo for weeks with no means of challenging the color code or knowing exactly why she’s been assigned a red code.
Fighting the coronavirus epidemic has given China the perfect excuse for unleashing the full force of its surveillance and data collection powers. The problem, as Eamon Barrett acknowledges in Fortune magazine, is what happens after: “Once the outbreak is controlled, it’s unclear whether the government will retract its new powers.”
The lesson for the ages: once any government is allowed to expand its powers, it’s almost impossible to pull back.
Meanwhile, here in the U.S., the government thus far has limited its coronavirus preparations to missives advising the public to stay calm, wash their hands, and cover their mouths when they cough and sneeze.
Don’t go underestimating the government’s ability to lock the nation down if the coronavirus turns into a pandemic, however. After all, the government has been planning and preparing for such a crisis for years now.
The building blocks are already in place for such an eventuality: the surveillance networks, fusion centers and government contractors that already share information in real time; the government’s massive biometric databases that can identify individuals based on genetic and biological markers; the militarized police, working in conjunction with federal agencies, ready and able to coordinate with the federal government when it’s time to round up the targeted individuals; the courts that will sanction the government’s methods, no matter how unlawful, as long as it’s done in the name of national security; and the detention facilities, whether private prisons or FEMA internment camps, that have been built and are waiting to be filled.
Now all of this may sound far-fetched to you now, but we’ve already arrived at the dystopian futures prophesied by George Orwell’s 1984, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, and Philip K. Dick’s Minority Report.
It won’t take much more to push us over the edge into Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium, in which the majority of humanity is relegated to an overpopulated, diseased, warring planet where the government employs technologies such as drones, tasers and biometric scanners to track, target and control the populace.
Mind you, while these technologies are already in use today and being hailed for their potentially life-saving, cost-saving, time-saving benefits, it won’t be long before the drawbacks to having a government equipped with technology that makes it all-seeing, all-knowing, and all-powerful——helped along by the citizenry—far outdistance the benefits.
On a daily basis, Americans are relinquishing (in many cases, voluntarily) the most intimate details of who we are—their biological makeup, our genetic blueprints, and our biometrics (facial characteristics and structure, fingerprints, iris scans, etc.)—in order to navigate an increasingly technologically-enabled world.
Consider all the ways you continue to be tracked, hunted, hounded, and stalked by the government and its dubious agents:
By tapping into your phone lines and cell phone communications, the government knows what you say. By uploading all of your emails, opening your mail, and reading your Facebook posts and text messages, the government knows what you write. By monitoring your movements with the use of license plate readers, surveillance cameras and other tracking devices, the government knows where you go.

Of course, none of these technologies are foolproof.
Nor are they immune from tampering, hacking or user bias.
Nevertheless, they have become a convenient tool in the hands of government agents to render null and void the Constitution’s requirements of privacy and its prohibitions against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The ramifications of a government—any government—having this much unregulated, unaccountable power to target, track, round up and detain its citizens is beyond chilling.

THIS IS THE SICKENING MOMENT AN UBER DRIVER REFUSES TO GIVE A RIDE TO A BLIND MAN’S GUIDE DOG AND LEAVES THEM STANDING ON THE PAVEMENT.
Mohammed Hafiz Raja was filmed saying ‘I ain’t going to take your dog’ before driving away in his blue BMW at Watford junction station, Hertfordshire, in June last year.
Colin Perreira, 24, from Hemel Hempstead, and his six-year-old guide dog Sid had booked a ride to his father’s home in King’s Lynn, six miles away. This marks the fifth time Colin has taken an Uber driver to court.
Raja, from Watford, was convicted of breaching the Equality Act and fined £1,700 at Westminster magistrates’ court last month. He has also been banned from offering rides through the app.
Uber said in a statement their driver’s behaviour was ‘totally unacceptable’.

Another neighbor yelled out to her and said , “ Hey , I told him , ‘ I know you did this and I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that ’ s when the 6-foot teen jumped the fence and tackled her .

It ’ s worth the scroll !

This is my sister .
On Monday night she was attacked by her 15 year old neighbor .
He stabbed her in the head and face with a screw driver .
She fought him off and was able to escape to a neighbors house to call the police .
The boy was taken into police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
No clear motive was ever established .
Alicia has a broken nose , staples in her head and stitches to the puncture wound under her eye .
Hassan is a 15 year old refugee from Somalia who lives with his family .
He is 6 ’ and approx 175lbs , much larger than my sister .
He has broken into Alicia ’ s car 3 different times and broken into another neighbors house .
The police were involved every single time and reported that nothing could be done since he was a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different , though .
This morning we went to the juvenile courts building for the deposition hearing where we would find out if he would be held in custody while he awaits his court date , or if he would be allowed to return home .
It had been explained to alicia by the victims advocate that the 3 charges he was facing each independently carry a strong recommendation of remaining detained ; all three compiled was almost a sure thing .
We arrived feeling very hopeful .
On arrival , we learned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s IQ is 49 .
This makes him incompetent to aid in his own defense , therefore all charges were formally dismissed by the prosecutor , Sakina Ahmad .
We never entered a courtroom , saw a judge , nothing .
Hassan was able to go home with a family member .
He likely left the building as a free person before we even learned all the above information .
The prosecutor sympathized with our frustration and explained that because he is a mentally handicapped , juvenile refugee , every safeguard available @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s detriment .
She went on to tell us , VERBATIM , that even if alicia had been KILLED , the outcome would be the same and that this case would be dismissed .
Now , Go ahead and read that last sentence again… .

“It’s not feeling safe and honestly feeling like I’ve been failed by the system,” says the victim, Alicia Clarke, and she is right. Not only has she been failed by law enforcement authorities,
but also by the establishment media.
The KSDK story below contains no hint of the fact that the attacker was a Muslim migrant.
It was left to the victim’s sister to reveal that on Facebook. It is clear from KSDK’s coverage that Muslim migrants are a protected class, and that the establishment media avoids reporting on anything that might reflect poorly upon them.
Was a concern to protect their image also part of the authorities’ considerations in dismissing the case?
That’s what the KSDK reporters should have been asking.
Instead, they completely whitewashed that aspect of the story.

ST. LOUIS — A St. Louis woman feels like the judicial system failed her, after she said her teenage neighbor attacked her and walked away free.
Alicia Clarke said exactly a week ago she went for a quick run outside her south city home. When she came back, she noticed her shoes had been moved to a different spot and her cell phone was gone.

This is my sister. On Monday night she was attacked by her 15 year old neighbor. He stabbed her in the head and face with a screw driver. She fought him off and was able to escape to a neighbors house to call the police. The boy was taken into police custody and brought to juvenile detention center. No clear motive was ever established.
Alicia has a broken nose, staples in her head and stitches to the puncture wound under her eye.
Hassan is a 15 year old refugee from Somalia who lives with his family. He is 6’ and approx 175lbs, much larger than my sister. He has broken into Alicia’s car 3 different times and broken into another neighbors house. The police were involved every single time and reported that nothing could be done since he was a minor. Surely this time would be different, though.
This morning we went to the juvenile courts building for the deposition hearing where we would find out if he would be held in custody while he awaits his court date, or if he would be allowed to return home. It had been explained to alicia by the victims advocate that the 3 charges he was facing each independently carry a strong recommendation of remaining detained; all three compiled was almost a sure thing. We arrived feeling very hopeful.
On arrival, we learned from that same patient advocate that Hassan’s IQ is 49. This makes him incompetent to aid in his own defense, therefore all charges were formally dismissed by the prosecutor, Sakina Ahmad. We never entered a courtroom, saw a judge, nothing. Hassan was able to go home with a family member. He likely left the building as a free person before we even learned all the above information.
The prosecutor sympathized with our frustration and explained that because he is a mentally handicapped, juvenile refugee, every safeguard available is to his benefit and to Alicia’s detriment. She went on to tell us, VERBATIM, that even if alicia had been KILLED, the outcome would be the same and that this case would be dismissed. Now, Go ahead and read that last sentence again….
