SURVEILLANCE

Government Eyes In the Sky

The federal government and police are finding new ways to use drones to invade privacy.

Businessweek revealed the existence of a pilot program being operated by the Baltimore Police Department in which small manned aircraft circled over the city all day, using cameras to continuously photograph a 32-square-mile area and giving police the ability to retroactively track any vehicle or pedestrian within that area.

It was the ultimate #Big #Brother "eye in the sky"—and yet the Baltimore police had not notified the public or even the mayor or city council about the program.

Revelation of the secret program generated a storm of controversy, and eventually it was put on hold—though in December 2019, the city's police commissioner announced that the program would be revived.

The technology behind the #Baltimore program involves pointing multiple cameras toward the ground and stitching those images together into a single, larger photograph.

It also uses computers to automatically correct for the changing camera angles of the circling planes as well as factors such as topographic variances and lens distortion.

The result is a #surveillance system of enormous power, able to reconstruct the movements of all visible vehicles and pedestrians across a city—where they start and finish each journey and the paths they take in between.

It can allow #tracking of a great proportion of people's movements throughout a city.

People Are Taking Out Loans Against Their NFTs—And Defaulting

The endless search for profit is spawning increasingly ridiculous schemes centered on the financialization of NFTs.


VisionShares are NFTs (non-fungible tokens) that live on the blockchain,” reads a section on the company’s FAQ page. “This way, players have real ownership over their fantasy equity, and there is a provable scarcity of the virtual equity of each company.”

As TechCrunch noted, Visionaire did not have permission from the companies to sell fake shares, but was offering a verification process that let those companies receive a "healthy percentage" of the #NFT shares.

The “experiment” lasted for just over 24 hours, with Visionaire saying it “underestimated the legal complexities.”

This is not the first time synthetic shares have emerged in DeFi spaces, either.

Bloomberg reported this summer that various #crypto projects had spent the last year sidestepping pesky regulations by creating fake #Apple, #Tesla, and #Amazon shares.

A similar effort by Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, drew scrutiny from Germany's financial regulators as it may have violated securities law by offering synthetic shares of popular U.S. shares in April before it was shut down in July.

Real Cost of Covid Lockdowns

Pandemic Wiped Out Entire Savings Of 20% Of US Households

According to Fed data which breaks down the distribution of wealth according to income quintile (or 20% bucket) the middle 60% of US households by income saw their combined assets drop from 26.7% to 26.6% of national wealth as of June, the lowest in Federal Reserve data, while for the first time the super rich had a bigger share, at 27%.

No US Military Bases in Asia

#Russia draws a red line for US in Central #Asia

The Pentagon’s much-touted plan for staging 'out-of-horizon' operations in #Afghanistan appears to be a pipe dream

Moscow has categorically stated that it will not accept a #US #military presence in the Central Asian region.

This reiteration has come at the level of Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei #Ryabkov, who told TASS that Afghanistan had been discussed at a meeting with Victoria #Nuland, the visiting US Undersecretary of State, in Moscow on Tuesday.

Ryabkov added: "We emphasized the unacceptability of a US military presence in Central Asian countries in any form whatever."

Prima facie, Ryabkov has squashed the disinformation media campaign by Washington that at the Russia-US summit in Geneva in June, #Putin had offered Biden the use of Russian bases in the Central Asian region for conducting future (“out-of-the-horizon”) operations in Afghanistan.

The WSJ had earlier alleged that Russia and the US had discussed the possibility of the US military using Russian bases in Central Asia at a Chiefs of Staff meeting in Helsinki on Sep 24 “at the request of Biden’s National Security Council.”

Washington’s ploy appeared to have been to create misconceptions among the Central Asian states regarding Russia’s intentions.

Blinken held a meeting of the so-called C5+1 Ministerial on Sep 22 to discuss “coordination on Afghanistan” with his Central Asian counterparts.

Deputy Sec State Wendy Sherman appeared in the steppes just 10 days later to meet with the leadership in #Tashkent, presumably to fathom whether #Uzbekistan might be open to the Pentagon having some basing facilities in that country.

Apparently, she drew a blank.....

Nuclear Weapons And Europe

#US deployment of #nuclear #strike aircraft to the #UK signals to continental Europe that planning for nuclear war against #Russia is accelerating.......

........The U.S.#Nato military alliance policy is that “nuclear weapons are a core component of NATO’s overall capabilities for deterrence and defence,” resting almost entirely on U.S. nuclear delivery capabilities which are to be expanded at vast expense, with the new generation of Intercontinental #Ballistic #Missile Systems, now referred to as the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent, likely to cost 95 billion dollars — if there are no cost overruns......

.......It is intriguing that the present British government would have us believe that more nuclear weapons and deployment of 27 U.S. nuclear-capable F-35 aircraft to the UK’s Royal Air Force base at Lakenheath are in some fashion compatible with nuclear disarmament, but what is consistent is their linkage with the stockpiles of U.S. nuclear bombs already in #Europe.

2020 election: 

How Mark #Zuckerberg Corrupted The 2020 Election


The Zuckerberg Election Infiltration

Here’s how it worked. Zuckerberg gifted nearly half a billion dollars to two left-wing groups that then gave the money to government #election offices.

One of these two groups was the Center for Technology and Civic Life. By the September before the election, Zuckerberg and his wife had given it $350 million, meaning the small organization’s prior revenues of $1.8 million exploded by roughly 20,000 percent.

The cash, or “Zuckerbucks,” wasn’t an unconditional donation, however.

There were strings attached, which amounted to Democrat get-out-the-vote efforts, mass mail-in voting, and ballot “curing,” whereby election workers “fix” mail-in ballot problems after the ballot has been submitted.


But Wait, There’s More......

A closer look at Wisconsin reveals a host of other issues on top of Zuckerberg’s election takeover.

As Hemingway outlines in the book:

“The state kept 234,000 invalid voter registrations on its voter rolls, even when ordered to remove them by a court.

The clerks of the two biggest Democratic counties got tens of thousands of people to claim they were ‘indefinitely confined,’ enabling them to vote by mail without showing any identification.

But one of the most important things Wisconsin Democrats did was disenfranchise the Green Party presidential ticket and otherwise work to keep third-party candidates off the ballot.”

In a particularly brazen act, the Wisconsin Elections Commission denied Kanye West a spot on the ballot because he was allegedly 14 seconds late in filing his paperwork.

After arriving at the correct building before the 5 p.m. deadline to turn in the papers, struggling to gain entry to the locked facility, and then having the papers initially accepted as “not later than 5 p.m.,” West’s team was later denied and ultimately declared “late” because the commission said they had received them at 5:00:14 — seriously.

Open Letter

I cannot do it anymore

Ole Skambraks has worked as an editorial assistant and editor at the public broadcaster for 12 years.

OLE SKAMBRAKS, 14. Oktober 2021, 0
Note: This text ist also available in German, French and Dutch.

I can no longer remain silent. I can no longer silently watch what has been going on for a year and a half now within my organization, a public service broadcaster.

Things like “balance”, “social cohesion” and “diversity” in reporting are principles embedded in the statutes and media state contracts.

Today, the exact opposite is happening.

There is no true discourse and exchange in which all parts of society can come together and find common ground.

Thus the list of inconsistencies and open questions, which have gone largely unreported, is very long:
,
Why do we know so little about “gain of function research” (which aims at making viruses more dangerous to humans)?

Why does the new Infection Protection Act state that the basic right to bodily integrity and the inviolability of one’s home may be restricted henceforth – even without an epidemic situation?

Why must people who have already had Covid-19 still get the jab, even though they are at least as well protected as those who are vaccinated?

Why are we not talking about ”Event 201” and the global pandemic exercises held shortly before the spread of SARS-CoV-2 — at all, or only in the context of conspiracy theories? (2)

Why was the internal document from the German Federal Ministry of the Interior — a document which was known to the media and in which the authorities were asked to create a “shock effect” to underscore the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on human society — not published in full and discussed publicly?

Why is the study by Professor Ioannidis on survival rates (99.41% for people under 70) not featured in the headlines, while the fatally flawed, inflated figures produced by Imperial College were (in the spring of 2020, Neil Ferguson foresaw half a million Covid-19 deaths in the United Kingdom and more than 2 million in the United States)?

Why does it say, in a document produced for the German Federal Ministry of Health, that Covid-19 patients stood for no more than 2% of the burden of hospitals during 2020?

Why does Bremen have the by far the highest incidence (113 as at 04/10/21) and at, the same time, by far the highest vaccination rate in Germany (79%)?

Why were payments of 4 million euro paid into a family account belonging to EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides, who was responsible for concluding the first EU vaccine contracts with pharmaceutical companies? (3)

Why are people suffering severe vaccine injury not featured to the same extent as people with severe Covid-19 disease were in 2020? (4)........

There is NO "systemic bias" against women in tech

In fact the opposite is true: there is evidence of bias in favour of women in tech.

------

We built voice modulation to mask gender in technical interviews. Here’s what happened

We decided to see what would happen to interviewees’ performance when we started messing with their perceived genders.

The results:

Contrary to what we expected (and probably contrary to what you expected as well!), masking gender had no effect on interview performance with respect to any of the scoring criteria (would advance to next round, technical ability, problem solving ability).

If anything, we started to notice some trends in the opposite direction of what we expected: for technical ability, it appeared that:

1) men who were modulated to sound like women did a bit better than unmodulated men


2) women who were modulated to sound like men did a bit worse than unmodulated women

Curiously the study authors didn't seem to have any problem at all with such "systemic bias" when it turned out that males were the victims.

Scientist who invented #mRNA questions global #COVID response:

“Is This Really About the #Vaccine or Is It About Something Else?”

------------------------------
"Grossly Incomplete” #Pfizer Data

The scientist went on to describe how “shocked” and “demoralized” he felt when he reviewed Pfizer’s COVID vaccine data presented to the Japanese government, “presumably the same presented to the FDA.” While the FDA, tied by the confidentiality agreement with the pharma companies, does not make such data public, Japan is much more transparent.

Malone said, “The regulatory agency allowed Pfizer to proceed with the human trials and then [receive] an emergency use authorization with a set of data that was grossly incomplete, that did not even meet a minimum standard of what is normally required for safety, toxicology, genotoxicity and reproductive toxicity testing.”  

Pfizer appeared to be allowed by the FDA to simply “cobble together information that they’d obtained with other RNAs and other vaccines and put it in as a package in lieu of doing the actual studies,” Malone added.

He stated that it was common knowledge that the vaccine development was rushed and that both Big Pharma and the government “cut corners” when reviewing the safety data.

Latest #UK #PHE #Vaccine Surveillance Report figures on #Covid -19 cases show that doubly vaccinated 40-79 year olds have lost 44% of their #immune system capability.

Their immune systems are deteriorating at around 5% per week (between 3.8% and 9.1%).

If this continues then 30-59 year olds will have zero Covid/viral defence (and perhaps a form of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) by Christmas and all double vaccinated people over 30 will have completely lost the part of their immune system that tackles Covid-19 by January next year.

It All Makes Sense Once You Realize They Want to Kill Us

Mike Whitney

Question– Have the mRNA vaccines been tested on animals?

Answer– Yes, they have.

Question– Were the animal trials successful?

Answer– Yes and no.

Yes, the experiments on mice showed that a low dose of the vaccine induces a robust antibody response to the infection.

But, no, the antibodies were not able to attack the spike protein from a different strain of the virus.

Question– I’m not sure what that means? Do you mean that the vaccine DOES provide some limited protection from the original (Wuhan) virus, but does not necessarily provide protection from the variants?

Answer– That’s right, but it’s a bit more complicated than that because– as the virus changes — the antibodies that helped to fight the original virus can actually enhance the “infectivity” of the variant.

In other words, vaccine-generated antibodies can switch-sides and increase the severity of the illness. Simply put, they can make you sicker or kill you. Scientists have known this for a long time. Check out this clip from a 2005 research paper

Video Of Mystery Man Goading Trump Supporters To 'Enter Capitol' Surfaces

BY Tyler Durden

Four months ago, Revolver News' Darren Beattie reported that the FBI was possibly involved in organizing the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

And while there doesn't appear to be any direct public evidence that a federal agency was involved in the J6 'insurrection' - a shocking video posted by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has people wondering exactly who this man is telling Trump supporters to 'go into the Capitol' before the January 6 protest.

I'll say it," says the unidentified man, "We need to go in to the capitol," to which one man starts a "FED!" chant. The same man can be seen approaching other groups of Trump supporters with the same suggestion.

As I told the Attorney General, telling people they can apply for religious exemptions from vaccine mandates while denying all of their exemption requests is fraud.
