thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-23--California: DHS Whistleblower Against Obama Admin Found Shot To Death

I ’ m always amazed at how when people come out against corruption , they are found murdered or “ suicided.
” Take Philip Haney , for instance , who was found shot to death in California on Friday after becoming a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower against the Obama administration .
Haney had claimed in 2016 that the Obama administration ordered him to erase all the data pertaining to Muslim terrorist ties in the US .
We ’ ve received reports that Philip Haney , a DHS whistleblower on the Obama administration , has been found dead .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Sheriff ’ s Department , but sources within law enforcement have verified that there ’ s a death investigation underway .
If you have seen a few episodes of Behind the Uniform or have ever watched Fox News , you probably recognize the name Philip Haney .
He was the DHS whistleblower that dropped the hammer on the Obama administration regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS .
Friends of Haney told us that they spoke with Haney earlier this week and he ’ d “ never been happier ” .
They ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way he would have taken his own life… and reinforce that he ’ s had many enemies since he blew the whistle on the Obama administration .
Haney , who is credited with helping capture more than 300 jihadists , is best known for blowing the whistle on the Obama administration for shutting down an investigation he was leading that could have potentially stopped , among others , delete and scrub records the terrorist attack in San Bernardino .
Haney had also testified before the Senate in 2016 regarding the government ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and even in sections of the government .
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart in 2015 with Haney , John Hayward reported : Department of Homeland Security whistleblower Philip Haney gave an extensive interview to Breitbart News Daily on Friday morning , in which he discussed an investigation that might have stopped the San Bernardino jihad attack… but was scuttled by Homeland Security brass for politically-correct reasons .
“ Civil Rights and Civil Liberties shut the case down because we were focusing on individuals who belong to Tablighi Jamaat , ” Haney says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is .
Haney was a founding member of the Passenger Analysis Unit , or PAU , under Customs and Border Protection .
Established as a stand-alone agency in 2003 , the PAU is charged with “ vetting , investigating , finding addresses , making connections , and putting the dots together ” on persons entering the United States who might be security threats .
“ We cross-checked all kinds of information .
You name it .
Visas , passports , travel patterns , family connections… anything to do within the universe of individuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Any information suggesting possible terrorist activity was entered into a sophisticated database , for real-time reference by DHS personnel across the country .
The high quality of Haney ’ s work brought him to the National Targeting Center , which he described as “ a place where all the different agencies in the United States that have to do with law enforcement – related to travel , possible terrorism , and those kind of things – consolidate in one agency .
It ’ s just like in the movies .
There are big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us sit at a kiosk with four large monitors , running maybe 15 programs at once.
” At the NTC , Haney ’ s experience at the PAU , his time in the Middle East , his understanding of the Koran and Islamic culture , his training in Islamist terrorist strategy , and even his background in entymology – the study of insects and their hives – made him a “ subject matter expert.
” He compared the position to being a specialized mechanic or technician , or a place kicker on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to analyze one specific aspect of America ’ s national security threat .
He continued the football analogy by comparing his job analyzing terrorist networks with an effort to break the entire NFL down into divisions and teams , to understand exactly where each player fits into the overall scheme .
He also compared it to the task faced by the FBI when they try to assemble a portrait of crime organizations , like the mixture of mob operations and legitimate business fronts depicted in the TV series “ The Sopranos.
” “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of mosques , structures of organizations like the Islamic Society of North America , the Islamic Circle of North America – any structure that you happen to be looking at , ” Haney explained .
“ The Muslim Brotherhood network in America is a structure , highly organized , with leadership and places – actual offices .
And then you ’ ve got your Web , your communications , your cyber stuff .
You put it all together , and you see patterns – people coming , people going .
Why are they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wait – isn ’ t the Muslim Brotherhood a largely innocuous and “ secular ” organization , according to the Obama Administration – a trusted political partner that rose to duly elected power in Egypt after the “ Arab Spring , ” only to be deposed by a military coup ?
How can mosques be part of the terrorist NFL , when Hillary Clinton insists Islam has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism ?
The picture taking shape as Haney assembled these dots was very politically incorrect… and he says he paid a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might follow the trail of insects to divine the location of their hive , Haney began investigating a Salafist Muslim fundamentalist group called Tablighi Jamaat , whose name means “ the Party of the Promoters.
” He believes this group , which has about 50 million members worldwide , should be much better known to Americans concerned about radicalization and terrorist infiltration .
Haney noted that people with a superficial knowledge of Islam think “ Salafi ” Islam is synonymous with “ radical , ” but that ’ s not true .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said .
“ They ’ re going back to the original version of Islam , that existed in the time of Mohammed .
They are not ‘ radicals , ’ they are going back to the original .
That is what ‘ Salafi ’ means .
Wahhabi Islam , the Saudi Arabian version with the women in black – that is a Salafi movement.
” He suggested envisioning the Tablighi Jamaat as the Eastern Division of the Salafist National Football League , which is more properly known as the Deoband , named @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Muslim pushback against Hinduism began in British Imperial times .
Finding themselves compatible with the Wahhabi Islam of Saudi Arabia , they formed an alliance , which is why so much Saudi money goes into building fundamentalist mosques and Deobandi schools .
Haney discovered a large number of Tablighi Jamaat members were entering the United States on the visa waiver program ( well-known to American news consumers at the moment because President Obama falsely characterized San Bernardino jihadi Tashfeen Malik as a visa waiver client during his prime-time address last Sunday .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jamaat members were not receiving proper scrutiny when the entered the United States… and they were proceeding to locations known to be part of the extremist networks Haney had been piecing together .
“ Tablighi Jamaat members under the organization structure of the Deoband movement – a Salafi Islamic group – were coming to America , going to mosques all over the country , at the invitation of imams and leaders who where already known to be linked to terrorism , ” said Haney , succinctly stating the situation that led to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik before they opened fire in San Bernardino .
Haney ’ s initiative to monitor the Tablighi Jamaat network on a global scale had the support of his superiors , after a bit of initial resistance because it cast doubt on the politically untouchable visa waiver program .
How did so many members of this disturbing radical network waltz past U.S. screening so easily ?
Simple : they had British passports , allowing them to obtain visa waiver consideration by doing little more than filling out an online @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people , they ’ re from the Commonwealth , the British Empire , which included Pakistan , India , Bangladesh , a lot of other places in the world , ” Haney explained .
“ That ’ s why you see so many immigrants from that part of the world living in the U.K. , because they have Commonwealth rights .
And here ’ s the key to the whole thing : a lot of them have two passports .
So they would use their E.U .
– U.K. passport to qualify for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would have , let ’ s say , a Pakistani , or an Indian , or some other country ’ s passport .
And once they travel east to their home region , they don ’ t use their E.U .
passport , they use their home country passport , so they ’ re traveling under two almost completely different identities.
” His position in Atlanta , watching one of the busiest international airports in the world , gave Haney an exceptional opportunity to notice small groups of Tablighi Jamaat members entering the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ locations of interest .
He interviewed many of these arrivals personally , and detect the sort of trend he has been trained to recognize .
His entries into the National Targeting Center database drew the attention of other analysts as well .
“ This case actually took six years to develop , ” he said .
“ It started in 2006 , and it gradually gained momentum over time .
By 2008 , I was interviewing twenty , thirty people a month sometimes.
” Once the Advanced Targeting Team at the NTC became @ @ @ @ @ @ @ encompassed over 1,200 law-enforcement actions related to the case – including revocations of visas and visa waivers , preventing individuals from entering the country , and deportations .
Haney described it as an “ unprecedented ” and “ high-powered case , ” the law-enforcement equivalent of slamming a sledgehammer down on a Test Your Strength game at a carnival and ringing the bell .
“ It was exactly what DHS was created to do , ” he said .
“ We were doing what we took our oath of office to do .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ experts , focused like a laser beam on a trend that was putting our country at threat .
We had the full endorsement of the entire management structure of our agency .
We were given ‘ Go , do it , ’ and that ’ s what we did.
” Haney and his fellow investigators found links from the Tablighi Jamaat network to “ Hamas , al-Qaeda , global terrorist funding… I mean , every version of however you define terrorism was included in the initiative .
Financial , direct support , overseas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the spectrum was in the case .
It wasn ’ t just focusing on people coming on airplanes into a port in America .
It was the whole complex , from A to Z , top to bottom.
” This complex included “ a global network of schools , meaning madrassas , where people learn , study Koran , study Islamic law… memorize the Koran , study what are called hadiths , the sayings and the teachings of Mohammed… they ’ re like colleges , and they ’ re all over the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world global headquarters of the Deobandi movement is now in Dewsbury , in the United Kingdom , ” he continued .
“ They have a very strong network in South Africa – there are madrassas there that American kids go to , to become imams .
They teach in English – it ’ s a seven year program – and then they come back , and they become imams in the area where they grew up .
It ’ s a whole process .
They start when they ’ re young kids , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they put them in this parallel madrassa system , they teach the Koran – that ’ s all they actually learn .
And when they ’ re about 16 , 17 , 18-years old , about the age most people graduate from high school , they go the madrassa program over in South Africa , and then they come back.
” This Deobandi network had a branch in San Bernardino , which rang bells with Haney the moment he saw news reports about a terrorist attack there .
But he wasn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ initiative was deemed politically incorrect and shut down by the Department of Homeland Security ’ s Civil Rights and Civil Liberties division .
“ They came into the National Targeting Center , either physically or through emails and correspondence , and said that we could not develop cases based on association with Tablighi Jamaat , and/or any Islamic group , ” Haney revealed .
He charged this decision , which runs counter to the very purpose of the Department of Homeland Security and its charter to demolish the wall of separation between law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this Administration is more concerned about the civil rights and civil liberties of foreign Islamic groups and foreign nationals than securing the freedom and security of the American public.
” He pointed to documents uncovered by a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act request tied to his whistleblower case as further support .
“ NTC was getting ‘ pushback ’ from CRCL , Civil Rights and Civil Liberties , and DOS [ the State Department ] because of our focus on this group called Tablighi Jamaat , ” he repeated , inviting listeners @ @ @ @ @ @ @ group and understand why the Administration might feel pursuing it aggressively was unacceptably insensitive to Muslims .
Haney said his superiors actually erased some of his files pertinent to the case , because they insisted the initiative had “ gone in a different direction ” and he was no longer authorized to add his data .
He concluded by saying his purpose in coming forward was to fix a broken intelligence system .
“ This isn ’ t about hurting anybody .
This is about fixing it .
We could fix it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s my focus.
” Take a listen to the interview : Is there anyone who thinks that Mr. Haney wasn ’ t taken out as an assassination ?
Is there anyone who actually thinks the Trump administration will bring justice in this instance , or merely cover for the previous administration ?
If you do , you are part of the problem .

I’m always amazed at how when people come out against corruption, they are found murdered or “suicided.” Take Philip Haney, for instance, who was found shot to death in California on Friday after becoming a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower against the Obama administration.
Haney had claimed in 2016 that the Obama administration ordered him to erase all the data pertaining to Muslim terrorist ties in the US.
Law Enforcement Today reported:
We’ve received reports that Philip Haney, a DHS whistleblower on the Obama administration, has been found dead.
We have not yet received independent confirmation from the Sheriff’s Department, but sources within law enforcement have verified that there’s a death investigation underway.
If you have seen a few episodes of Behind the Uniform or have ever watched Fox News, you probably recognize the name Philip Haney. He was the DHS whistleblower that dropped the hammer on the Obama administration regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS.
Friends of Haney told us that they spoke with Haney earlier this week and he’d “never been happier”. They’ve suggested there’s absolutely no way he would have taken his own life… and reinforce that he’s had many enemies since he blew the whistle on the Obama administration.
Haney, who is credited with helping capture more than 300 jihadists, is best known for blowing the whistle on the Obama administration for shutting down an investigation he was leading that could have potentially stopped, among others, delete and scrub records the terrorist attack in San Bernardino.
Haney had also testified before the Senate in 2016 regarding the government’s willful ignorance of Islamic extremism in America and even in sections of the government.
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart in 2015 with Haney, John Hayward reported:
Department of Homeland Security whistleblower Philip Haney gave an extensive interview to Breitbart News Daily on Friday morning, in which he discussed an investigation that might have stopped the San Bernardino jihad attack… but was scuttled by Homeland Security brass for politically-correct reasons.
“Civil Rights and Civil Liberties shut the case down because we were focusing on individuals who belong to Tablighi Jamaat,” Haney says, well-aware of how explosive this charge is.
Haney was a founding member of the Passenger Analysis Unit, or PAU, under Customs and Border Protection. Established as a stand-alone agency in 2003, the PAU is charged with “vetting, investigating, finding addresses, making connections, and putting the dots together” on persons entering the United States who might be security threats.
“We cross-checked all kinds of information. You name it. Visas, passports, travel patterns, family connections… anything to do within the universe of individuals coming in,” said Haney. Any information suggesting possible terrorist activity was entered into a sophisticated database, for real-time reference by DHS personnel across the country.
The high quality of Haney’s work brought him to the National Targeting Center, which he described as “a place where all the different agencies in the United States that have to do with law enforcement – related to travel, possible terrorism, and those kind of things – consolidate in one agency. It’s just like in the movies. There are big screens, 24/7 news, each of us sit at a kiosk with four large monitors, running maybe 15 programs at once.”
At the NTC, Haney’s experience at the PAU, his time in the Middle East, his understanding of the Koran and Islamic culture, his training in Islamist terrorist strategy, and even his background in entymology – the study of insects and their hives – made him a “subject matter expert.” He compared the position to being a specialized mechanic or technician, or a place kicker on a football team, using his particular skills to analyze one specific aspect of America’s national security threat.
He continued the football analogy by comparing his job analyzing terrorist networks with an effort to break the entire NFL down into divisions and teams, to understand exactly where each player fits into the overall scheme. He also compared it to the task faced by the FBI when they try to assemble a portrait of crime organizations, like the mixture of mob operations and legitimate business fronts depicted in the TV series “The Sopranos.”
“It’s the same with structures of mosques, structures of organizations like the Islamic Society of North America, the Islamic Circle of North America – any structure that you happen to be looking at,” Haney explained. “The Muslim Brotherhood network in America is a structure, highly organized, with leadership and places – actual offices. And then you’ve got your Web, your communications, your cyber stuff. You put it all together, and you see patterns – people coming, people going. Why are they going to this place?”
But wait – isn’t the Muslim Brotherhood a largely innocuous and “secular” organization, according to the Obama Administration – a trusted political partner that rose to duly elected power in Egypt after the “Arab Spring,” only to be deposed by a military coup? How can mosques be part of the terrorist NFL, when Hillary Clinton insists Islam has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism? The picture taking shape as Haney assembled these dots was very politically incorrect… and he says he paid a price for it.
As an entymologist might follow the trail of insects to divine the location of their hive, Haney began investigating a Salafist Muslim fundamentalist group called Tablighi Jamaat, whose name means “the Party of the Promoters.” He believes this group, which has about 50 million members worldwide, should be much better known to Americans concerned about radicalization and terrorist infiltration.
Haney noted that people with a superficial knowledge of Islam think “Salafi” Islam is synonymous with “radical,” but that’s not true. “It means ‘original,’” he said. “They’re going back to the original version of Islam, that existed in the time of Mohammed.

He suggested envisioning the Tablighi Jamaat as the Eastern Division of the Salafist National Football League, which is more properly known as the Deoband, named after a city in north-central India where a Muslim pushback against Hinduism began in British Imperial times.

How did so many members of this disturbing radical network waltz past U.S. screening so easily? Simple: they had British passports, allowing them to obtain visa waiver consideration by doing little more than filling out an online form.
“A lot of these people, they’re from the Commonwealth, the British Empire, which included Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, a lot of other places in the world,” Haney explained. “That’s why you see so many immigrants from that part of the world living in the U.K., because they have Commonwealth rights.

Haney described it as an “unprecedented” and “high-powered case,” the law-enforcement equivalent of slamming a sledgehammer down on a Test Your Strength game at a carnival and ringing the bell.
“It was exactly what DHS was created to do,” he said. “We were doing what we took our oath of office to do. We were well-trained, capable subject matter experts, focused like a laser beam on a trend that was putting our country at threat. We had the full endorsement of the entire management structure of our agency. We were given ‘Go, do it,’ and that’s what we did.”
Haney and his fellow investigators found links from the Tablighi Jamaat network to “Hamas, al-Qaeda, global terrorist funding… I mean, every version of however you define terrorism was included in the initiative. Financial, direct support, overseas affiliation… you know, every color of the spectrum was in the case. It wasn’t just focusing on people coming on airplanes into a port in America. It was the whole complex, from A to Z, top to bottom.”
This complex included “a global network of schools, meaning madrassas, where people learn, study Koran, study Islamic law… memorize the Koran, study what are called hadiths, the sayings and the teachings of Mohammed… they’re like colleges, and they’re all over the world,” Haney noted.
“The world global headquarters of the Deobandi movement is now in Dewsbury, in the United Kingdom,” he continued. “They have a very strong network in South Africa – there are madrassas there that American kids go to, to become imams. They teach in English – it’s a seven year program – and then they come back, and they become imams in the area where they grew up. It’s a whole process. They start when they’re young kids, they take them out of school, they put them in this parallel madrassa system, they teach the Koran – that’s all they actually learn. And when they’re about 16, 17, 18-years old, about the age most people graduate from high school, they go the madrassa program over in South Africa, and then they come back.”
This Deobandi network had a branch in San Bernardino, which rang bells with Haney the moment he saw news reports about a terrorist attack there.
I found that individuals who were in the case, from three years ago, had come to that mosque. So, if I had still been active duty, working on the case, and everything had been going as it was, I would have linked that mosque to the initiative, simply because people that were already in the database were going there. Therefore, either Syed would have been put on the no-fly list, because of his close affiliation with it, or his pending fiancee would not have been given a visa, because she was affiliated with somebody who was tied to that mosque.
But he wasn’t on the case any more… because his initiative was deemed politically incorrect and shut down by the Department of Homeland Security’s Civil Rights and Civil Liberties division.
“They came into the National Targeting Center, either physically or through emails and correspondence, and said that we could not develop cases based on association with Tablighi Jamaat, and/or any Islamic group,” Haney revealed.
He charged this decision, which runs counter to the very purpose of the Department of Homeland Security and its charter to demolish the wall of separation between law enforcement agencies, was made because “this Administration is more concerned about the civil rights and civil liberties of foreign Islamic groups and foreign nationals than securing the freedom and security of the American public.”
He pointed to documents uncovered by a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act request tied to his whistleblower case as further support. “NTC was getting ‘pushback’ from CRCL, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and DOS [the State Department] because of our focus on this group called Tablighi Jamaat,” he repeated, inviting listeners to study the nature of this Islamist group and understand why the Administration might feel pursuing it aggressively was unacceptably insensitive to Muslims.
Haney said his superiors actually erased some of his files pertinent to the case, because they insisted the initiative had “gone in a different direction” and he was no longer authorized to add his data.
He concluded by saying his purpose in coming forward was to fix a broken intelligence system. “This isn’t about hurting anybody. This is about fixing it. We could fix it. We can fix it. That’s my focus.”

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-23--China Invokes Holocaust Horrors:  40 Mobile Incineration Ovens Deployed In Wuhan

It appears the Chinese government is lying to their own people and the world about what is going on there .
That isn ’ t surprising , but what is surprising is the reports coming out about incinerator ovens being used .
It ’ s now appearing that there are some 40 mobile ovens that have been deployed in Wuhan and many are concerned that they might find themselves in those ovens , even if they aren ’ t dead from coronavirus .
Mike Adams at Natural News has the story : Remember 13 days ago when we warned that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Wuhan , China while the crematoriums were backlogged with piles of dead bodies stacked in the cremation queues ?
Now China has brought in 40 mobile incineration ovens to burn and destroy what the Chinese government calls “ medical waste.
” As you can see in the photos below , the incineration ovens are labeled for the disposal of “ animal corpses.
” The deployment of incineration ovens , combined with the grotesque violations of basic human rights now being routinely committed by China in response to the pandemic , has invoked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Holocaust of World War II .
As reported by the UK Daily Star , these incineration ovens are built to the size of 20-foot transport containers , and each can incinerate about 30 cubic meters of material .
“ Reportedly the incinerators have been sanctioned for the use by the Chinese military after a test in Golmud , Qinghai in January , ” says the Daily Star .
The words on the side of these incineration ovens say , “ Garbage and Animal Corpse Placement Receptacle.
” ( Our staff reads Mandarin Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) Each incinerator can burn up to five tons of material per day , which equates to about 16 dead human bodies or large animal bodies per unit , per day .
Multiplied by the 40 incineration ovens which have now been deployed , this adds the capacity to burn up to 640 human bodies per day , even though they claim these ovens are for animal corpses and medical waste .
According to “ official ” Chinese government data that no one believes except the incompetent World Health Organization , daily coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It seems we are now supposed to believe China has an epidemic of dead animals that ’ s so large , they need 40 incineration ovens to burn animal corpses .
CHINESE WOMAN RISKS HER LIFE TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT COMMUNIST LIES But people inside the quarantine chaos in China are so fed up with the lies from their own government that they are risking their own lives to speak out .
Check out this woman ’ s desperate plea from China , where she is sure to be thrown into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this very video .
We have confirmed she speaks with a mainland Chinese accent and pronunciation .
Actually , I ’ ve even confirmed that myself since I can tell the difference between mainland Chinese Mandarin vs. Taiwanese Mandarin : A partial transcript of what she ’ s saying : ( h/t to Zero Hedge ) Only normal citizens are suffering .
The government does not care about us .
We can ’ t buy medicine with money .
We can ’ t go to the hospital with money .
And in Hong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I also support Taiwan independence .
Tibet and Hong Kong , I support independence .
Not a single person can speak freely .
If anyone speaks about the truth , they are detained , If they decide it ’ s 10 years or 20 years then it ’ s already decided .
Even lawyers are useless .
I ’ m gon na tell you something .

I will make a sacrifice for my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our free lives .
I know it is dangerous for me to speak out .
But I can ’ t take it anymore , I can not .
No beds , no medicine , all the news from TV is a lie .
In this evil society , I can no longer keep my mouth shut .
No one is willing to speak out .
I am going to stand up and make a voice .
We really have to resist my fellow citizens .
I can ’ t live like this anymore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the incineration ovens along with some crew members who will no doubt be required to move all the corpses into the incineration vessels : The next wave of lies from communist China will no doubt involve some cover story for explaining why hundreds of thousands of people have gone missing and are nowhere to be found… Article posted with permission from Sons of Liberty Media

Now China has brought in 40 mobile incineration ovens to burn and destroy what the Chinese government calls “medical waste.” As you can see in the photos below, the incineration ovens are labeled for the disposal of “animal corpses.”
The deployment of incineration ovens, combined with the grotesque violations of basic human rights now being routinely committed by China in response to the pandemic, has invoked memories of the horrors related to the Holocaust of World War II.
As reported by the UK Daily Star, these incineration ovens are built to the size of 20-foot transport containers, and each can incinerate about 30 cubic meters of material. “Reportedly the incinerators have been sanctioned for the use by the Chinese military after a test in Golmud, Qinghai in January,” says the Daily Star.

CHINESE WOMAN RISKS HER LIFE TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT COMMUNIST LIES
But people inside the quarantine chaos in China are so fed up with the lies from their own government that they are risking their own lives to speak out.

And in Hong Kong, I support your independence. I also support Taiwan independence. Tibet and Hong Kong, I support independence.
Not a single person can speak freely. If anyone speaks about the truth, they are detained, If they decide it’s 10 years or 20 years then it’s already decided. Even lawyers are useless.
I’m gonna tell you something. 1 person’s sacrifice 2 people’s sacrifice is a sacrifice that is necessary of a revolution. I will make a sacrifice for my parents, for my family, for our free lives.
I know it is dangerous for me to speak out. But I can’t take it anymore, I cannot.
No beds, no medicine, all the news from TV is a lie.
In this evil society, I can no longer keep my mouth shut. No one is willing to speak out. I am going to stand up and make a voice. We really have to resist my fellow citizens. I can’t live like this anymore.
Here’s another photo of the incineration ovens along with some crew members who will no doubt be required to move all the corpses into the incineration vessels:
The next wave of lies from communist China will no doubt involve some cover story for explaining why hundreds of thousands of people have gone missing and are nowhere to be found…

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-23--When US Hospitals & Military Publicly Brace For A Coronavirus Pandemic, You Should Pay Attention

If you trust the numbers coming out of China ( I don ’ t ) it appears that they ’ re getting their coronavirus epidemic contained .
Yesterday they reported the lowest number of new cases in ages , with 349 newly confirmed patients , in a dramatic drop of more than 1300 fewer cases than Tuesday .
NHC spokesperson Mi Feng made the remarks at a press conference in Beijing Wednesday , citing the epidemic data in the province over the past week .
The daily count of newly cured and discharged cases in Hubei , excluding the capital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number of newly confirmed cases for four consecutive days as of Wednesday , said Mi .
He also noted that the number of newly confirmed cases has decreased significantly since Feb. 13 in areas besides Wuhan , and the increase in the cumulative number of confirmed cases has remained flat .
( source ) Of course , there ’ s plenty of evidence that China has toyed with the numbers all along , so it ’ s difficult not to take this “ good news ” with a grain of salt .
Particularly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Diamond Princess yesterday to make their ways home to 50 different countries via a wide variety of public transportation options .
And particularly when our own government is busily ( and visibly ) preparing for the potential of a massive outbreak in the United States .
We didn ’ t even see these kinds of preparations when we were being warned by the CDC to get ready for an Ebola outbreak back in 2014 .
Mercifully , we dodged the bullet on that one but it certainly wasn ’ t because of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thing was handled so poorly that it could have resulted in disaster .
Perhaps we learned from that ?
Anyone who is a prepper knows that medical items like gloves , N-95 masks , and other PPE are in short supply right now , and hospitals are also concerned about shortages .
The CDC issued a warning last week : In a separate interview , Dr. Nancy Messonnier , director of the CDC ’ s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases , told reporters , “ At some point , we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S. or in other countries.
” How are hospitals bracing for impact ?
Across the country , hospitals are taking steps to prepare for an onslaught of patients who may or may not have the infectious disease .
Considering that it ’ s influenza season and many of the symptoms are similar to those of Covid-19 , surge capacity could be reached very quickly .
Here ’ s how some hospitals are preparing , according to a CNBC article : • San Diego-based Scripps Health is consolidating medical supplies such as masks , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been ordered .
( Expect that orders to healthcare facilities will be shipped long before ours . )
Health-care workers are being taught how to safely reuse N95 respirator masks , in the event of shortages • Northside Hospital in Atlanta is watching patients for clinical symptoms and potential exposure to the virus .
If they suspect a patent could have been exposed , they will be given a mask and be immediately moved to an airborne isolation room , where they will remain while in the hospital .
“ Infection control and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” spokeswoman Katherine Watson said .
• NYU Langone Health in New York City has classified Covid-19 as a “ Level 1 Priority.
” A level 2 or 3 scenario would be when “ there is transmission in the city and it begins to impact hospital operations .
The health-care system has implemented a conservation plan and medical supplies , especially respirator masks , are only given to staff as needed.
” Cat Ellis , the author of The Wuhan Coronavirus Survival Manual , warns that hospitals could reach surge capacity very quickly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people with potential cases of Coronavirus .
The latest data I could find for how many hospital beds are available in the United States is for 2018 from the American Hospital Association .
They put the total number of hospital beds in 2018 at 924,107 .
This is similar to the data from Stastisca.com , and it confirms that there was still a downward trend in the number of available hospital beds in 2018 .
Assuming the downward trend has continued since 2018 , we have less than 924 thousand available beds for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States .
We are facing the potential worst-case scenario of 2,697,300 hospitalizations for Wuhan coronavirus alone .
This would raise the death toll from all causes as hospitals reach surge capacity .
Surge capacity occurs when there is a sudden influx of patients that a hospital becomes overwhelmed and can not treat any additional sick people .
In this situation , there are no more beds , and there is not enough hospital staff to treat any more patients .
Often , during a pandemic , it is not the pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
During the 2014 Ebola pandemic , it was common for people to die of some other health problem , and not Ebola , simply because doctors and nurses were too afraid to come to work .
In other places , health care workers also became sick and unable to care for patients , as they were now patients themselves .
Imagine going into labor in the middle of a pandemic crisis .
While homebirth attended by a skilled midwife has consistently proven to be safe and have better outcomes than hospital births @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrong .
What if that were to happen during a pandemic with no beds available ?
What if you or a loved one experienced a heart attack or stroke ?
What if you were in a car accident or injured in a mob trying to get the last supplies off a grocery store shelf and needed emergency room care ?

The US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ executive order was issued by the Joint Staff and approved by Defense Secretary Mark Esper to officially initiate pandemic plans , the Military Times reports .

First of all , it doesn ’ t mean that you should panic .
Let ’ s get that out of the way first .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not lead to good decision-making .
You can be aware of what is going on and add it to your arsenal of information to help you make the best choices in the future .

Preparing for the potential of a Covid-19 pandemic is strongly advisable .
( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to keep in mind all the other things that could go wrong during a long-term siege of illness .
The panic of other people ; the fall of systems like utilities , police , fire , and hospitals ; and shortages of supplies are all things you should take into account .

Viruses mutate , different health systems may handle it better than others , and containment efforts in different areas may be more successful than others – or less .

If you trust the numbers coming out of China (I don’t) it appears that they’re getting their coronavirus epidemic contained. Yesterday they reported the lowest number of new cases in ages, with 349 newly confirmed patients, in a dramatic drop of more than 1300 fewer cases than Tuesday.
Xinhuanet, the official Chinese government propaganda news outlet reported:

Of course, there’s plenty of evidence that China has toyed with the numbers all along, so it’s difficult not to take this “good news” with a grain of salt.
Particularly when hundreds of potentially infected people disembarked the Diamond Princess yesterday to make their ways home to 50 different countries via a wide variety of public transportation options.
And particularly when our own government is busily (and visibly) preparing for the potential of a massive outbreak in the United States.
We didn’t even see these kinds of preparations when we were being warned by the CDC to get ready for an Ebola outbreak back in 2014. Mercifully, we dodged the bullet on that one but it certainly wasn’t because of well-thought-out protocols and procedures. The entire thing was handled so poorly that it could have resulted in disaster. Perhaps we learned from that?
CDC warned American hospitals are warned to prepare
Anyone who is a prepper knows that medical items like gloves, N-95 masks, and other PPE are in short supply right now, and hospitals are also concerned about shortages. The CDC issued a warning last week:
“This is the time to open up your pandemic plans and see that things are in order,” Dr. Anne Schuchat, a top official of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, urged hospitals last week. “For instance,” she continued, health-care providers need to plan for a “surge at a hospital, the ability to provide personal protective equipment for your workforce, the administrative controls and so forth that you might put place in a health care setting.” (source)
In a separate interview, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters, “At some point, we are likely to see community spread in the U.S. or in other countries.”
How are hospitals bracing for impact?
Across the country, hospitals are taking steps to prepare for an onslaught of patients who may or may not have the infectious disease. Considering that it’s influenza season and many of the symptoms are similar to those of Covid-19, surge capacity could be reached very quickly.
Here’s how some hospitals are preparing, according to a CNBC article:
San Diego-based Scripps Health is consolidating medical supplies such as masks, gloves, and gowns and backups have been ordered. (Expect that orders to healthcare facilities will be shipped long before ours.) Health-care workers are being taught how to safely reuse N95 respirator masks, in the event of shortages
Northside Hospital in Atlanta is watching patients for clinical symptoms and potential exposure to the virus. If they suspect a patent could have been exposed, they will be given a mask and be immediately moved to an airborne isolation room, where they will remain while in the hospital. “Infection control and prevention measures are always a priority,” spokeswoman Katherine Watson said.
NYU Langone Health in New York City has classified Covid-19 as a “Level 1 Priority.” A level 2 or 3 scenario would be when “there is transmission in the city and it begins to impact hospital operations. The health-care system has implemented a conservation plan and medical supplies, especially respirator masks, are only given to staff as needed.”
Cat Ellis, the author of The Wuhan Coronavirus Survival Manual, warns that hospitals could reach surge capacity very quickly and that it will impact more than people with potential cases of Coronavirus.
The latest data I could find for how many hospital beds are available in the United States is for 2018 from the American Hospital Association. They put the total number of hospital beds in 2018 at 924,107. This is similar to the data from Stastisca.com, and it confirms that there was still a downward trend in the number of available hospital beds in 2018. Assuming the downward trend has continued since 2018, we have less than 924 thousand available beds for every sick person from all causes in the United States. We are facing the potential worst-case scenario of 2,697,300 hospitalizations for Wuhan coronavirus alone. This would raise the death toll from all causes as hospitals reach surge capacity. Surge capacity occurs when there is a sudden influx of patients that a hospital becomes overwhelmed and cannot treat any additional sick people. In this situation, there are no more beds, and there is not enough hospital staff to treat any more patients. Often, during a pandemic, it is not the pandemic illness itself that will kill a person. During the 2014 Ebola pandemic, it was common for people to die of some other health problem, and not Ebola, simply because doctors and nurses were too afraid to come to work. In other places, health care workers also became sick and unable to care for patients, as they were now patients themselves. Imagine going into labor in the middle of a pandemic crisis. While homebirth attended by a skilled midwife has consistently proven to be safe and have better outcomes than hospital births, things can and still do go wrong. What if that were to happen during a pandemic with no beds available? What if you or a loved one experienced a heart attack or stroke? What if you were in a car accident or injured in a mob trying to get the last supplies off a grocery store shelf and needed emergency room care? (source)
Being prepared to treat minor issues at home is very important when hospitals are overflowing with people who may or may not have a potentially deadly illness.
The US Military is preparing as well.
An executive order was issued by the Joint Staff and approved by Defense Secretary Mark Esper to officially initiate pandemic plans, the Military Times reports. On Feb. 1, U.S. Northern Command was directed the Joint Staff “to commence prudent planning in their assigned role synchronizing the department’s plans for pandemic flu and disease.”
However, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Mike Hatfield says that in no way “does the planning indicate a greater likelihood of an event developing. As military professionals, planning for a range of contingencies is something we owe the American people.”
But in other military news, the Department of Defense has announced that eleven military bases near major airports across the country have set up quarantine camps for possible coronavirus patients. Before you panic and scream “FEMA CAMPS – THEY’RE ROUNDING US UP!” relax. These quarantine areas, at this point, are meant to house only 20 patients.
The DOD installations and the airports they could support as tertiary backups are: JB Pearl Harbor-Hickam, HI (HNL)
Great Lakes Training Center Navy Base, IL (ORD)
Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base, TX (DFW)
March ARB, CA (LAX)
Travis AFB, CA (SFO)
Dobbins ARB, GA (ATL)
Fort Hamilton, NY (JFK)
Naval Base Kitsap, WA (SEA)
Joint Base Anacostia, DC (IAD)
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ (EWR)
Fort Custer Training Center (DTW) Under the request, DOD support at each location will be limited to providing housing support for up to 20 people as they undergo a period of quarantined observation. The department will also provide office space for several HHS personnel and their equipment through February 22, 2020. (source)
Of course, as the situation evolves, these facilities could always be expanded. There are already DoD quarantine facilities for up to a thousand patients.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Saturday approved a request from the Department of Health and Human Services for the possible use of military facilities to accommodate 1,000 people who may have to be quarantined upon arrival from overseas due to a new virus. A Defense Department statement said HHS officials requested the use of several facilities capable of housing at least 250 people in individual rooms through Feb. 29. HHS would be responsible for all care, transportation and security of the evacuees, according to the statement. (source)
The locations for these quarantine facilities are the 168th Regiment, Regional Training Institute, Fort Carson, Colorado; Travis Air Force Base, California; Lackland Air Force Base, Texas; Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California. These bases are where recently evacuated from Wuhan and from the ill-fated Diamond Princess cruise ship are waiting out their quarantines.
What does it all mean?
First of all, it doesn’t mean that you should panic. Let’s get that out of the way first. Panic, as Selco writes, does not lead to good decision-making. You can be aware of what is going on and add it to your arsenal of information to help you make the best choices in the future.
What it does mean is that the US government is taking this outbreak extremely seriously. Since generally, the party line is “everything will be just fine,” recent actions taken publicly should definitely spark some awareness that this could become serious.
Preparing for the potential of a Covid-19 pandemic is strongly advisable. (Learn more here.) You have to keep in mind all the other things that could go wrong during a long-term siege of illness. The panic of other people; the fall of systems like utilities, police, fire, and hospitals; and shortages of supplies are all things you should take into account.
Personally, I’m glad they’re taking it seriously because the handling of the Ebola threat was a near-disaster.
It’s impossible to say whether this virus will be contained before it becomes widespread in the United States and elsewhere, and it’s also very difficult to predict the ramifications if it does. Viruses mutate, different health systems may handle it better than others, and containment efforts in different areas may be more successful than others – or less.
But I’d say that the preparations being undertaken by hospitals across the nation and by our own military are a blinking neon sign that we’d be foolish to ignore.

I was proud to consider Philip a friend. I would often hear from him, a reminder, a pointer, and I would run into him at events dealing with terrorism and the fight for this country’s freedoms.
His was an important voice that has been tragically silenced.
Philip was also a proud Jewish person whose convictions informed his actions. His life was guided by principled courage, and the information he provided shed a vital light on the political suppression of the truth about Islamic terrorism and the betrayal of America.

Many of you may recall all of the slander and libel that came from the media and the likes of corrupt politicians like Harry Reid in branding those that supported Cliven Bundy and his family in Nevada as “domestic terrorists.” However, one father seems to have been targeted all by himself for simply following the law and supporting the Constitution.
The story of Joshua Martinez is not new.
However, in an exclusive, Jack Burns of The Free Thought Project provided some new information on Martinez’s situation.
He writes:
We first brought you the story of Joshua Martinez in 2017, when he was arrested for refusing to give his age to police on a Nevada courthouse steps. He was attempting to enter the Lloyd D. George Federal Courthouse, without having to identify himself.
He wanted to attend the Cliven Bundy court case without giving up who he is and why he was there, something he believed was a clear violation of his constitutional rights. Martinez was denied entry. Later, in an attempt to sue the U.S. Marshals for disallowing him entry into the Nevada court, he returned to the court to identify the specific Marshals who denied him entry. That action turned out to be a mistake as he was promptly arrested.
Days later, while Martinez was working security at a local nightclub, several officers in plains clothes approached him and asked about his firearm. They informed him that, even though his H&K 45 in his outside the waistband holster was clearly visible, he was going to be arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit—a clearly false charge.
Martinez believes because he is a Constitutional activist he was targeted for arrest by one certain detective he later learned was a LVMPD Anti-terrorism Division Detective/Joint Terrorist Task Force with the FBI. His name is Detective Kenneth Mead. Cliven Bundy was cleared of all wrongdoing but Martinez wasn’t so lucky.
Even though Martinez was not a person prohibited from owning a firearm, and even though he was employed by the nightclub, and even though his gun was clearly visible, the charges stuck. Martinez took a plea deal which gave him 2-years of probation and had to spend 140 days in jail at the Clark County Detention Center.
When asked why his government believes he’s a domestic terrorist, Martinez responded:
I don’t believe in violence. I disagree with drug prohibition and driver licensing…simply because a person if for the legalization of marijuana doesn’t make them a pothead. Nevada does not guarantee its residents a jury trial in criminal cases and I simply believe it is unconstitutional.
Martinez believes Mead likes to lump all people who make waves as constitutionalists and brand them as troublemakers. That’s what he says Mead did to him.
Although Martinez cannot prove it, he has seen Mead show up in court for his own court proceedings.
On my sentencing on Feb. 26, I saw detective Mead with a Manila folder in his hand. This guy isn’t supposed to be here. He wasn’t the arresting officer and he wasn’t on the case. My defense attorney came back to me and told me ‘Dude he’s got all these Facebook posts!’. Detective Kenneth Mead gave them to the prosecutor. The prosecutor gave them to the judge. And the judge just loses it and tells me I belong in prison. He gave us an option to either withdraw my plea or take it to trial.
The judge emptied the courtroom and the only person allowed to stay was detective Mead who was “just smiling” according to Martinez. Nevertheless, Martinez was granted probation but that didn’t last long. The young man would quickly be found guilty of probation violations just 19 days later. He would spend the next 120 days in jail after having spent 20 days awaiting trial. Martinez now wears a GPS ankle monitor and anything from “jaywalking to a traffic ticket” can have his probation revoked which is set to be appealed in April of 2020.
So, in the land of the free, for passing out copies of the U.S. Constitution on a courthouse steps, for failing to identify to a police officer, and for legally open-carrying a firearm on the job site, a constitutional activist was sent to jail, branded a felon—a felon who personally believes he was targeted for expressing his freedom of speech and for “taking up for the Bundy’s”.
They’re literally are afraid of me (branding him a domestic terrorist), not because I’m violent but because I say real things. I know they’re going to come and find something on me again. I just want to get my story out so people will know what’s going on with me.
Martinez has four kids and comes from a good family—who have all served their country. His father was an Air Force veteran and he spent his formative years on U.S. military bases. He told TFTP he is now on the Homeland Security’s high threat watch list but Martinez contends he’s always been respectful of law enforcement and is a non-violent constitutional activist. He told us he believes his civil rights have been violated but says no civil rights attorney in Clark County will touch his case because they’re afraid of LVMPD. He is currently looking for an outside attorney to take his case in a lawsuit against Det. Mead, and the LVMPD.
Are there any attorneys out there who actually believe in standing up to these corrupt people on behalf of Mr. Martinez?

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-23--MKUltra Survivors Sue Canadian Government

Project MKUltra ( or MK-Ultra ) , also called the CIA mind control program , is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects that were designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency , some of which were illegal .
[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations in order to weaken the individual and force confessions through mind control .
The project was organized through the Office of Scientific Intelligence of the CIA and coordinated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Laboratories .
[ 4 ] Code names for drug-related experiments were Project Bluebird and Project Artichoke .
[ 5 ] [ 6 ] The operation was officially sanctioned in 1953 , reduced in scope in 1964 and further curtailed in 1967 .
It was officially halted in 1973 .
The program engaged in many illegal activities , [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] including the use of U.S. and Canadian citizens as its unwitting test subjects , which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy .
[ 7 ] ( p74 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ 12 ] MKUltra used numerous methods to manipulate its subjects ’ mental states and brain functions .
Techniques included the covert administration of high doses of psychoactive drugs ( especially LSD ) and other chemicals , electroshocks , [ 13 ] hypnosis , [ 14 ] [ 15 ] sensory deprivation , isolation , verbal and sexual abuse , as well as other forms of torture .
[ 16 ] [ 17 ] The scope of Project MKUltra was broad , with research undertaken at more than 80 institutions , including colleges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and pharmaceutical companies .
[ 18 ] The CIA operated using front organizations , although sometimes top officials at these institutions were aware of the CIA ’ s involvement .
[ 19 ] According to this CTV News article , survivors and families of an MK Ultra brainwashing program run by Dr. Ewen Cameron at McGill University in Montreal in the 1950s and 1960s have banded together to bring the horrors of this program more fully into the public eye .
They are planning a class action lawsuit against the provincial and federal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stein feels optimistic about : There is reason to take Alan Stein seriously in this matter .
He has successfully represented numerous survivors who were once patients at the infamous Allan Memorial Institute at McGill University .
In 1992 , then Justice Minister Kim Campbell compensated 77 former patients of the program , but denied others a payout because they were deemed not damaged enough .
Stein has handled several lawsuits and out of court settlements since .
What is different with this class action suit is that the primary objective of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ admission of complicity on the part of the government .
In previously successful individual lawsuits , money was paid out based on the extent of damage—such as the degree to which the victim had reached a ‘ childlike state ’ —and not on the fundamental principal that citizens ’ human rights had been egregiously violated .

What was MKUltra?
Project MKUltra (or MK-Ultra), also called the CIA mind control program, is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects that were designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, some of which were illegal.[1][2][3] Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations in order to weaken the individual and force confessions through mind control. The project was organized through the Office of Scientific Intelligence of the CIA and coordinated with the United States Army Biological Warfare Laboratories.[4] Code names for drug-related experiments were Project Bluebird and Project Artichoke.[5][6]
The operation was officially sanctioned in 1953, reduced in scope in 1964 and further curtailed in 1967. It was officially halted in 1973. The program engaged in many illegal activities,[7][8][9] including the use of U.S. and Canadian citizens as its unwitting test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy.[7](p74)[10][11][12] MKUltra used numerous methods to manipulate its subjects’ mental states and brain functions. Techniques included the covert administration of high doses of psychoactive drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, electroshocks,[13] hypnosis,[14][15] sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as other forms of torture.[16][17]
The scope of Project MKUltra was broad, with research undertaken at more than 80 institutions, including colleges and universities, hospitals, prisons, and pharmaceutical companies.[18] The CIA operated using front organizations, although sometimes top officials at these institutions were aware of the CIA’s involvement.[19]
A group of survivors is suing.
From Collective Evolution…
According to this CTV News article, survivors and families of an MK Ultra brainwashing program run by Dr. Ewen Cameron at McGill University in Montreal in the 1950s and 1960s have banded together to bring the horrors of this program more fully into the public eye.
They are planning a class action lawsuit against the provincial and federal government, an initiative which lawyer Alan Stein feels optimistic about:
“I BELIEVE WE CAN CLAIM MORAL DAMAGES AS A RESULT OF THE EXPERIMENTS WHEN DR. CAMERON USED THESE PEOPLE AS GUINEA PIGS.”—LAWYER ALAN STEIN
There is reason to take Alan Stein seriously in this matter. He has successfully represented numerous survivors who were once patients at the infamous Allan Memorial Institute at McGill University.
In 1992, then Justice Minister Kim Campbell compensated 77 former patients of the program, but denied others a payout because they were deemed not damaged enough. Stein has handled several lawsuits and out of court settlements since.
Public Apology Is Primary
What is different with this class action suit is that the primary objective of the victims is a public apology and an admission of complicity on the part of the government. In previously successful individual lawsuits, money was paid out based on the extent of damage—such as the degree to which the victim had reached a ‘childlike state’—and not on the fundamental principal that citizens’ human rights had been egregiously violated.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-24--Press Freedom Groups Call Julian Assange Prosecution “Dangerous Precedent”

Indeed !
As mentioned by former Texas Congressman Ron Paul On Sunday , candidate Trump and President Trump are , in essence , two different people , but that ’ s normally how a politician is .
Yes , I know many of you don ’ t think he is a politician .
However , it is the Trump administration that continues to push to prosecute a man responsible for exposing the crimes of our government against us , the people , and against people around the world .
Yet , not a one of them has been brought to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they want him not just prosecuted , they want him dead .
Julia Conley writes for the more liberal Common Dreams , but pens a good piece on how press freedom groups are pointing out the “ dangerous precedent ” this administration is setting by seeking to prosecute the Wikileaks founder .
“ Using the draconian wartime powers of the Espionage Act against Assange undermines journalists ’ s [ sic ] rights and sets dangerous precedents that cast journalists and publishers as criminals.
” Press freedom advocates slammed the U.S. over its pending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Monday as the first phase of Assange ’ s extradition trial began in London .
Groups including Reporters Without Borders ( RSF ) and the Committee to Protect Journalists ( CPJ ) joined supporters of Assange gathered at demonstrations around the world in demanding the U.K. not allow the Wikileaks founder ’ s extradition to the U.S. , where he faces espionage charges for publishing thousands of classified materials regarding U.S. activities—including evidence of war crimes—in Afghanistan , Iraq , and elsewhere .
On social media , the # DontExtraditeAssange hashtag was being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treatment of the now famous journalist and publisher .
The trial , supporters said , is about not just Assange ’ s individual fate , but concerns the future of press freedom all over the world .
“ The extradition of Julian Assange to the United States to stand trial for his groundbreaking work with WikiLeaks would deal a body blow to First Amendment rights and press freedom .
The U.K. should deny this request , ” said CPJ deputy executive director Robert Mahoney .
“ Using the draconian wartime powers of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s [ sic ] rights and sets dangerous precedents that cast journalists and publishers as criminals.
” The first phase of the trial is set to last a week and is aimed at determining whether U.S. efforts to extradite Assange are politically-motivated , which would make it illegal under a 2003 treaty between the two countries .
If extradited , Assange could face a prison sentence of up to 175 years for working with former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning , who leaked documents to WikiLeaks and who has been held for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Virginia for refusing to cooperate with a grand jury subpoena .
Demonstrators assembled outside Belmarsh Prison , where Assange has been held since September , and at other protests around the world , holding signs reading , “ Assange ’ s freedom is my freedom ” and “ Free Assange.
” Prosecutors focused opening arguments on government sources who “ disappeared ” after being put at risk by Wikileaks ’ release of the documents , which included information about U.S. attacks and civilian casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan .
Press freedom groups have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disseminating information about U.S. military and diplomatic activities will put all journalists ’ rights at grave risk .
“ Deciding if Julian Assange is a hero or a saint is not the question .
Whether we like or don ’ t like Julian Assange is not the question , ” said Christophe Deloire , secretary-general of Reporters Without Borders , at a press conference in London .
“ The question is : do we think it ’ s acceptable for a contribution to journalism to be treated as spying ?
That ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trial that while the prosecutor accused Assange of placing individuals in danger , “ he was not capable of naming any victims.
” Human rights advocates including Amnesty International have in recent days joined in demanding the charges against Assange , brought by the Trump administration , be dropped .
In addition to waging a “ full-scale assault on the right to freedom of expression , ” Amnesty said Friday , the U.S. has taken part in an attack on Assange ’ s human rights as medical experts warn that his imprisonment and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ecuadorean embassy in London have led to “ medical neglect and fragile health.
” Should he be extradited , Amnesty said , Assange could face further “ torture and other ill-treatment , including prolonged solitary confinement.
” The Council of Europe ’ s human rights commissioner expressed similar concerns last week .
“ Any extradition to a situation in which the person involved would be at real risk of torture or inhuman or degrading treatment would be contrary to Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights , ” said Commissioner Dunja @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hypocrisy of what the Trump administration is engaging in , just listen to these final words by Ron Paul from his piece .
The Trump Administration – led by a man who praised Assange ’ s work – seeks a show trial of Assange worthy of the worst of the Soviet era .
The US is seeking a 175-year prison sentence .
The Trump Administration argues that the Australian Assange should be tried and convicted of espionage against a country of which he is not a citizen .
At the same time , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Amendment does not apply to Assange because he is not an American citizen !
So , Assange is subject to US law when it comes to publishing information embarrassing to the US deep state but he is not subject to the law of the land – the US Constitution – which protects all journalists and is the backbone of our system of government .

Demonstrators assembled outside Belmarsh Prison, where Assange has been held since September, and at other protests around the world, holding signs reading, “Assange’s freedom is my freedom” and “Free Assange.”

Comienzan a extenderse las protestas en Londres y otras ciudades por la libertad de Julian Assange. Su extradición sería una victoria infame de la razón de Estado (más bien de Imperio) que nos amenaza A tod@s! #DontExtraditeAssange#FreeAssangepic.twitter.com/oah1d1xJUL — G_Pisarello (@G_Pisarello) February 24, 2020
Prosecutors focused opening arguments on government sources who “disappeared” after being put at risk by Wikileaks’ release of the documents, which included information about U.S. attacks and civilian casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan. Press freedom groups have argued for years that punishing Assange for disseminating information about U.S. military and diplomatic activities will put all journalists’ rights at grave risk.
“Deciding if Julian Assange is a hero or a saint is not the question. Whether we like or don’t like Julian Assange is not the question,” said Christophe Deloire, secretary-general of Reporters Without Borders, at a press conference in London. “The question is: do we think it’s acceptable for a contribution to journalism to be treated as spying? That’s the question.”
Deloire reported from the trial that while the prosecutor accused Assange of placing individuals in danger, “he was not capable of naming any victims.”

Human rights advocates including Amnesty International have in recent days joined in demanding the charges against Assange, brought by the Trump administration, be dropped.
In addition to waging a “full-scale assault on the right to freedom of expression,” Amnesty said Friday, the U.S. has taken part in an attack on Assange’s human rights as medical experts warn that his imprisonment and the seven years he spent in the Ecuadorean embassy in London have led to “medical neglect and fragile health.”
Should he be extradited, Amnesty said, Assange could face further “torture and other ill-treatment, including prolonged solitary confinement.”
The Council of Europe’s human rights commissioner expressed similar concerns last week.
“Any extradition to a situation in which the person involved would be at real risk of torture or inhuman or degrading treatment would be contrary to Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights,” said Commissioner Dunja Mijatovic.
To note the irony and hypocrisy of what the Trump administration is engaging in, just listen to these final words by Ron Paul from his piece.
The Trump Administration – led by a man who praised Assange’s work – seeks a show trial of Assange worthy of the worst of the Soviet era.
The US is seeking a 175-year prison sentence.
The Trump Administration argues that the Australian Assange should be tried and convicted of espionage against a country of which he is not a citizen.
At the same time, the Trump administration argues that the First Amendment does not apply to Assange because he is not an American citizen!
So, Assange is subject to US law when it comes to publishing information embarrassing to the US deep state but he is not subject to the law of the land – the US Constitution – which protects all journalists and is the backbone of our system of government.
