5 Articles Show How TPTB “Fix” You as Staked Goats Here is What Warner and the Other Communists (Democrats) Want, Regarding the Internet and Social Media in the U.S., Individuals and Companies Alike:

  • Mandatory location verification — on all user accounts and posts
  • Mandatory identity verification — authentication by companies and forced compliance of those companies by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and the FTC (Federal Trade Commission)
  • Bot Labeling — companies to label bots or be penalized
  • Define popular tech as “essential facilities” — THIS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IS THE KEY TO THE WHOLE THING…to force regulation in the “interests of national security for critical infrastructure,” and “to protect the public good.” That is the vehicle…for your own good do they subjugate you
  • More disclosure requirements for online political speech — simply put, to know who is going against the establishment…identify all of them
  • Countering Cybersecurity Threats — i.e., creating the eternal threat/bad guy for justification for protection of the public and the nation, yada yada.
  • More funding for the FTC — Of course! What better way to prompt a bureaucracy to regulate the people…than to pay them more money? Especially as the money is coming from the people, via taxes!
  • Requirements for social media and Internet firms’ algorithms to be audited by the feds — undoubtedly requiring a whole new bureaucratic arm to be created and funded
  • [This one I’ll quote directly]: “The paper also suggests making as a rule that tech platforms above a certain size must turn over internal data and processes to “independent public interest researchers” so they can identify potential “public health/addiction effects, anticompetitive behavior, radicalization, scams, user propagated misinformation, and harassment — data that could be used to inform actions by regulators or Congress” Sounds great! Nebulous and open to selective interpretation.

Regarding “item 9” above, I wrote a piece for SHTF that was released July 16, 2018, entitled “A Micro Example of the Increasing U.S. Totalitarianism” that completely ties in with Warner’s memo. Please read it to see what they suggest here in “item 9”…an “outside” firm that is non-governmental set up to be an “authority and regulator” but with government approval and support. It’s a new paradigm: hire a “patsy” to do the dirty work with your authority that can be shut down and take a fall at any time. With the citizens, that’s called a “shell company,” but the government calls them “independent public interest researchers.”

Appeals Court Upholds Sentences for Three Twin Cities Men in ISIS Case

A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the decades-long prison sentences imposed on three Twin Cities men convicted in a 2016 terror-recruitment trial, agreeing that they planned to commit murder in the name of ISIS.

A court challenge raised by the three men, whose families and supporters filled two courtrooms for oral arguments in June, failed to persuade a three-judge panel of the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Convicted following what is still considered the nation’s largest probe of terror recruitment, Mohamed Abdihamid Farah, Abdirahman Yasin Daud and Guled Ali Omar were the only three of nine defendants in the case to stand trial. Several others successfully made it abroad to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria between 2014 and 2015, at least three of whom are presumed dead.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo Sides With Violent ANTIFA in Shocking Statement [Video]

CNN is showing their true colors and excusing the violence that happened last weekend in Charlottesville and D.C. Did Chris Cuomo not see the mounds of evidence that the groups who came to protest the few loser white supremacists were violent, disgusting and downright stupid. He’s trying to paint conservatives and Trump supporters with a broad brush…very dangerous. Does he not see that the true fascists are the leftist groups who attended the protests? His claim that the right is supporting bigots is a false narrative meant to justify the violence of Antifa.

“People who show up to fight against bigots are not to be judged the same.” — Chris Cuomo?

CNN’s Chris Cuomo shocked last night when he excused the violence from the left and disagreed with equality before the law…

“Be aware, there are many more of us who see you as unequal, as less than, and you will be opposed at every turn because what you are about is wrong. And fighting you is right.”

The left is making the case that anyone they disagree with is smashed, destroyed…even taken out. This is fascism!

States Determine Qualifications for Voting and Procedures for Registration, And Only Citizens May Vote

The federal government is usurping the powers of the States, expressly retained by Art. I, §2, cl. 1, US Constitution, to determine qualifications for voting. And by perverting Art. I, §4, cl. 1, it is also usurping the States’ reserved power to determine procedures for registration of voters.

Consistent with Principles of Republican Government, every State in this Union has restricted voting to Citizens. But on October 26, 2010 in Gonzales v. Arizona, a three judge panel on the US Circuit Court of Appeals (9th Cir.) construed the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) and asserted that Arizona has no right to require applicants for voter registration to provide proof of citizenship. I wrote about it at the time HERE. On rehearing, the en banc Court of Appeals agreed with the panel; and on June 17, 2013, in Arizona v. The Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc., the Supreme Court affirmed.

A few months thereafter, California passed a law which permits illegal aliens to get drivers’ licenses; and during 2015, consistent with the unconstitutional NVRA, passed “Motor Voter” providing that when one gets a drivers’ license, one is automatically registered to vote.

The federal government is unlawfully mandating that illegal aliens be allowed to vote in our elections.

Emer de Vattel’s The Law of Nations was a Godsend to our Framing Generation because it provided the new concepts our Framers needed to transform us from subjects of a Monarchy to Citizens of a Republic.[3] Book I, Ch. XIX, defines “citizens”, “inhabitants” and “naturalization”:

“Citizens” are the members of the civil society who are bound to it by certain duties, subject to its authority, participate in its advantages and in the rights of citizens [§212]. “Inhabitants” are foreigners who are permitted to settle in the country and are subject to its laws, but do not participate in all the rights of citizens [§213]. “Naturalization” is the process whereby the country grants to a foreigner the quality of citizen, by admitting him into the body of the political society [§214].

So “citizens” have civic advantages and political rights which are not extended to “inhabitants” — and certainly not to aliens who have unlawfully entered a country…

In Federalist No. 60 (1st, 2nd and last paras), Hamilton speaks of the “fundamental privilege” of citizens to vote, and that citizens who are conscious and tenacious of their rights would flock to the places of election to overthrow tyrants. In Federalist No. 61 (2nd para), Hamilton speaks of “the suffrages of the citizens”, and of voting as an “invaluable privilege”.

Over and over, The Federalist Papers show that voting is restricted to citizens:

The Average Canadian Family Paid $37,058 in Taxes Last Year—more Than Housing, Food and Clothing

Last year, the average Canadian family earned $85,883 and paid $37,058 in total taxes compared to $30,597 on housing (including rent and mortgage payments), food and clothing combined.

In fact, the average Canadian family paid more than twice as much of their income in taxes (43.1 per cent) as they did for housing (20.8 per cent). The basic necessities of life, which include food, clothing and housing, amounted to just 35.6 per cent of income—still less than the percentage of income going to taxes.

This represents a marked shift since 1961, when the average Canadian family spent much less on taxes (33.5 per cent) than on food, clothing and housing (56.5 per cent).

Toronto Shooting: Politically Correct Cover-Up?

The Hussain “family statement” was not written by the murderer’s parents at all, but rather by Mohammed Hashim, a professional activist connected with the National Council of Canadian Muslims. Its American parent organization, as stated in its own documents, is CAIR, designated as a terrorist entity by the United Arab Emirates.

Contrary to what Hashim purportedly wrote in the statement, there is no evidence that Hussain was diagnosed with or treated for a mental illness, even after one of his high-school teachers reported to the police 10 years ago that Hussain had said “I want to kill someone… I just feel it would be really cool to kill somebody.”

Given the global climate, to which Canada most certainly has not been immune — as well as Hussain’s dubious connections — the attempt by the government and the media to dismiss potential links to terrorist groups or inspiration from jihadist ideologies, is both premature and politically transparent.

Cops Nab ATM Hacker Behind $1.2 Billion Swindle

The mastermind behind malware attacks that programmed ATMs to spit out cash on demand and caused more than 1 billion euros ($1.2 billion) of losses, has been arrested in Spain.

The leader of a criminal gang that carried out the malware attacks known as Carbanak and Cobalt was detained in Alicante following an investigation by Spanish police, Europol and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. Spain’s Interior Ministry named the suspect as Denis K, a Ukrainian national. Europol, the European Union agency for law enforcement cooperation, said in a statement that Romanian, Belorussian and Taiwanese authorities also took part in the manhunt.

The organized crime group has been operating since 2013, targeting over 100 financial institutions around the world in heists of as much as 10 million euros per operation. The malware they created could instruct ATMs to dispense cash at a pre-determined time, with gang members waiting by the machines collecting the money.

UK: Westminster Terror Suspect is Identified as ‘Man From Midlands Who Used a Ford Fiesta Bought Two Months Ago to Mow Down 15 Cyclists’ — As Police and MI5 Say He Wasn’t on Their Radar and is ‘Refusing to Co-Operate’

The Westminster terror suspect accused of trying to kill at least 15 cyclists and pedestrians was behind travelled to London from his Midlands home in a Ford Fiesta bought just two months ago, MailOnline can reveal today.

The man, who is in his late twenties, is refusing to speak to police who have identified him and believe he was not known to them or MI5.

Today he looked dazed as he was dragged from the smoking silver Ford Fiesta by around a dozen armed officers who had their rifles trained on him.

The vehicle police say he ‘deliberately’ used as a weapon was first registered in Nottingham and was written off by insurers in the Autumn of last year but put back on the road and sold again eight weeks ago.

The horrifying moment the driver hit at least 15 cyclists and pedestrians at up to 50mph before ploughing into barriers outside the Houses of Parliament was caught on CCTV.

A ‘loud bang’ followed by screams echoed around Parliament Square at 7.30am this morning and footage uncovered by the BBC shows the car swerve the wrong way down the road and ‘intentionally’ veer through crowds before smashing into a security barrier.

[…]

Scotland Yard said the crash is being treated as a ‘terrorist incident’ and counter-terror chief Neil Basu said the suspect was not known to police or MI5.

Mr Basu also said that he appears to have been working alone and there is ‘no intelligence at this time of further danger’ to Londoners following the Westminster car attack.

He said: ‘It appears to be a deliberate act. We are treating it as a terrorist incident. The man is in his late 20s and he’s been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences and has been taken to a South London police station where he remains in custody.

‘Our priority now is to formally establish the identity of the suspect and establish his motivation if we can. He is not currently co-operating’…

Forty Years of Islamic Terror in Iran

by Amil Imani

It is hard to imagine four decades have passed since the army of Muhammad occupied the proud and peaceful nation of Iran. Almost everyone in Iran is in agreement that this untimely conscious assault (Islamic Revolution) on the 2500-year-old Persian Empire and its modern citizens was a colossal and historical error of epic proportions. Most Iranians now believe the ouster of the Shah of Iran and replacing him with a ruthless, merciless and fanatical Shia cleric, the Ayatollah Khomeini who despised anything Iranian, was a grave mistake.

Khomeini returned to Tehran in February, 1979 and turned the rejuvenated Islamic passion into rabid anti-Americanism and anti-Western as well as anti-Iranian, especially pre-Islamic Persian values. It is noteworthy Islam is against any national identity and will aim to destroy anything non-Islamic.

With the help of the West, Ayatollah Khomeini succeeded in overthrowing the Shah and accomplished his great aspiration: the enslavement of a free Iran and the establishment of a base for exporting terrorism.

The devastation and mismanagement by incompetent mullahs, has been unimaginable. “At a time when momentum is gathering across the world to abolish capital punishment, the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) currently ranks second for number of executions, after China, and first for per capita executions in the world.”

All over the world, specifically motivated arson attacks, shootings, knifings, and gang violence eruptions are occurring. But mainstream media outlets in Europe, Australia, Canada, and the US are reluctant to report the stories without a pro-immigration bias, quietly glossing over the common thread in the attacks. Extremists with ties to Northern Africa seem to be waging a war, but you won’t hear this from the media or the respective governments.

‘Shared Challenge’ May Hits Back After Italy Demands UK Take Migrants From Rescue Ship

THERESA May’s Government is “deeply concerned” about the 141 migrants onboard the stranded rescue ship Aquarius, a Foreign Office spokesman said, before highlighting the “shared challenge” of “irregular migration” in Europe.

Whitehall officials insisted the responsibility “for organising the landing, in the nearest safe harbour” must be “assumed by the maritime competent authorities in accordance with the wishes of the master of the ship”.

The comments come after Italy’s transport minister, Danilo Toninelli — member of populist Five Star movement — urged Mrs May to “assume responsibility” and take in all rescued migrants on board the Aquarius ship, because the boat is sailing under the British territory of Gibraltar.

  1. Vatican II was a poison pill that destroyed the Roman Catholic Church in the West.

    Who can deny it has been infested and run by a pro-homosexual cabal since the mid-1960’s? They’ve planted younger versions of themselves in positions of power that promise continued cover ups and aberrational abnormality in Doctrine for degenerations to come.

  2. Poor, nice Sweden… Either binary choice results in chaos:
    1. Fight back physically and the “army” will come in after rights suspended
    or
    2. Keep quiet and live as dhimmi.
