iPhone snitch network launched
The Patriot App.

A new iPhone App with the
misleading name ‘PatriotApp’ attempts to draw on the power of the patriot movement, turning smartphone users into a
gigantic snitch network.
You might think an app with such a patriotic name might have useful functions like
a pocket constitution or quotes from our forefathers. But contrary to the services one might expect, this app
allows users to report any ‘suspicious’ behavior directly linking them with top government agencies.
Much like the new DHS program ‘If you see something, say something’ this app is
meant to turn average citizens into a network of spies feeding information back to the federal
government.
Citizen Concepts, a company formed by insiders from DHS, defines the use of such
an app ontheir
homepage:
Citizen Concepts announces the launch of PatriotAppTM, the
world’s first iPhone application that empowers citizens to assist government agencies in creating safer, cleaner,
and more efficient communities via social networking and mobile technology. This app was founded on the belief that
citizens can provide the most sophisticated and broad network of eyes and ears necessary to prevent terrorism,
crime, environmental negligence, or other malicious behavior.
Simply download, report (including pictures) and submit
information to relevant government agencies, employers, or publish incident data to social network
tools.
Key Features:
Integrated into Federal Agencies points of contacts
FBI
EPA
GAO
CDC
Custom integration with user employers
Fully integrated with Social Media (Facebook, Twitter)
Multiple menus and data fields
View FBI Most Wanted
Simple graphical user interface
Uses:
Enable citizens to record and communicate:
National Security, Suspicious activities, Crime
Government Waste
Environmental Crime or possible violations
White collar crime
Workplace harassment, discrimination, or other violations
Public Health concerns
PatriotApp encourages active citizen participation in the War
on Terror and in protecting their families and surrounding communities.
An app like this is meant to solidify the climate of fear in which our leaders
want us to exist. The threat of terrorism must be palpable in order for the ‘War on Terror’ to be justified and to
validate all the extreme measures instituted in its name.

At the height of its influence around one in seven of the East German population was an
informant for the Stasi. As in Nazi Germany, the creation of an informant system was wholly centered around
identifying political dissidents and those with grievances against the state, and had little or nothing to do with
genuine security concerns.
What's in a name? Everything. Find out about the latest attempt to package the
Orwellian total police state surveillance grid as something wonderful and wholesome—and why you
should never, ever say "contact tracing"—in this week's edition of #PropagandaWatch.
The Canadian government is currently ramping up their efforts to fight the spread of Covid-19 by
giving sweeping powers to police and by taking big brother into the digital realm. Contact tracing
apps are popping up on the provincial level and we may soon see a nationwide collective effort to
track trace and database every single thing everyone does. Meanwhile families are being forcefully
removed from their homes and taken to psychiatric facilities for peacefully protesting the
governments abuse of power. In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth covers the latest police
state news in Canada while also providing workable solutions on how to avoid being tracked by the
government in this post Covid-19(84) world.
A Women Gets Her Contact Tracer Certificates and Tells
All
DanaThynes | 30 May 2020
A woman's look at the Contact Tracer documents. This is BAD news. "Isolation" and "quarantine"
can be imposed again and again, the way the documents read.
As the people of the world grapple with a pandemic that is demonstrably less deadly
than originally reported, the public is being primed to accept an exponential increase in invasions of personal
liberty and privacy. Every day the public grows more weary of lock downs which seem to never end, and the
bankrupting of individuals and businesses around the world. Amidst the frustration and protest a solution is being
presented.
To return to normal, we are told, we must accept certain changes to how our world
operates. Of course, this is actually a push to a “new normal” which will mark the worldafterCOVID-19. Just like the attacks of September 11, 2001, there is the world
we knew before, and there is the post-9/11 era. We are currently in the middle of the COVID-19 era and a shift to
post-COVID19 life will not happen without the completion of local, state, national, and international programs
which identify potential infectees, test them, and, if positive, quarantine them in their homes or other government
facilities.
This is what is known as a contact tracing program. You have likely heard the term
in recent days and weeks because a number of local and state bodies within the United States are considering or
already launching contact tracing programs. Nations like China, Singapore, India, South Korea, and Israel have
implemented these programs but have also faced criticism from digital rights advocates for violations of privacy
protections.
So what exactly is contact tracing?
Contact tracing is a process of identifying individuals who may have come into
contact with an infected person, collecting information about their contacts, and then tracing the contacts of
infected individuals. All persons who may have come into contact with an infected individual are tested for
infection, treated for the infection, and their contacts traced as well.
Regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, we are seeing calls for digital contact tracing
using cell phones to notify individuals when they may have come into contact with an infected person or visited a
hot spot of infection. Digital contact tracing apps use Bluetooth to track encounters, a move which is supposed to
anonymize actual location data. Other forms of contact tracing apps involve the use of location data gathered from
cellular networks.
Additionally, tech giants Apple and Google have promised to help slow the spread of
the virus with new
tracking apps that the public can download to report themselves as infected. Using Bluetooth,
the phones will warn app users when they are near an infected person or a hot spot. The programs will use data
from Android and iPhone users who volunteer for the program later this month. Jennifer Granick, a surveillance
and cybersecurity attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union told Politico that the joint effort between
the tech companies “appears to mitigate the worst privacy and centralization risks.” However, “there
is still room for improvement.”
Microsoft is collaborating with the University of Washington on their own project
which the university promotes as a privacy based contact tracing app. Researchers with the University of Washington
and UW Medicine worked with volunteers from Microsoft to develop CovidSafe. The
researchers stated that the app will alert users about potential exposure to COVID-19, but will do so without
giving up anyone’s privacy.
“With CovidSafe, all information is stored locally on your phone unless you choose to share
that you’ve tested positive,”explained Justin Chan, a UW doctoral student in the Paul
G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering.“Only then is your data sent to a
secure server, and the app alerts anyone who has been nearby. After these notifications are sent, all the
information is deleted.”
CovidSafe is not the only attempt to build a privacy-based contact tracing program.
In April, a team of researchers launched Coalition, a free contact tracing app designed to protect users’ privacy and
protect communities during the COVID-19 crisis. Coalition claims to utilize secure Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and
cryptography to protect a user’s identity by generating random anonymous IDs. The app uses Coalition’s Whisper
Tracing, an open source privacy-first protocol that randomizes a user’s device identity and does not share
identifiable information with the cloud.
Building a Contact Tracing Army
New York Governor Andrew Cuomorecently announced efforts by NY state to hire thousands
of contact tracers. The state’s contact tracing program is being developed with $10 million from former New York
City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and support from Johns Hopkins University. Cuomo stated that applicants will need to
go through a training program and pass an online exam before being granted the authority of contact tracer. The
state’s program will involve identifying COVID-19 positive individuals, interviewing them about contacts in the
previous two weeks, and then those contacts must isolate for two weeks.
By late April, calls for contact tracing had grown so loud that Congressman John
Garamendi introduced a bill that would “expand volunteer opportunities within AmeriCorps and the
Federal Emergency Management Agency”. Garamendi is the Co-Chair of the AmeriCorps, a nationwide volunteer force
created by former President Bill Clinton in 1993. The Orwellian bill –“Undertaking
National Initiatives to Tackle Epidemic Act”or the UNITE Act – would allow AmeriCorps
and FEMA to create a national contact-tracing corps.
“The coronavirus pandemic has put an unprecedented strain on our society, and our
nation requires a significant scaling of testing and contact tracing in order to flatten the curve and lift
stay-at-home orders,”
Garamendi stated.
Coincidentally, the UNITE Act lines up with recent calls for a contact tracing
“army”. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control called for more contact tracers in the
state. Dr. Joan Duwve, the Director of Public Health for DHEC, said being able to test someone rapidly was
necessary.“We need an army of contact tracers to respond in
a short time to someone who has a positive diagnosis,”Duwve said.
On the opposite side of the country, California Governor Gavin Newsom has partnered
with the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of California, San Francisco to train more than
3,000 employees to become “coronavirus detectives“. During a live streamed press conference Newsom described the
efforts as a training academy designed to build an “army” of 20,000 people who can test, trace, and isolate people who may be infected.
Sonia Angell, California Department of Public Health director and State Health Officer, also stated that the new
contact tracing program will be connected to California’s existing digital disease surveillance platform. Angell
claims the database will be confidential.
The push for international contact tracing programs has also blossomed in nations
like South Korea and China, who are praised for their aggressive approaches to slowing the growth of the virus.
Forbes noted that South Korea has had a massive drop in COVID-19
diagnoses largely due to “mass rapid testing and comprehensive digitally-enabled contact tracing”. South Korea has
also used GPS phone tracking, CCTV cameras, credit card transaction monitoring, and automated text alerts as part
of a comprehensive universal contact tracing program.
The Chinese government approach is what you would expect from a totalitarian
communist state: an all encompassing app that pretty much “controls your
life.” Bloomberg describes China’s contact tracing app as a “public-private ‘health code’
system” which issues one of three risk assessments in the form of a colored QR code.“A green QR code, which denotes a low risk of having the virus, is the general default, while coming
into contact with an infected person can trigger a yellow code and a mandatory quarantine. Red is for a likely
or confirmed case,”Bloombergreported.It
does not take an extremely paranoid mind to see how this system could be easily abused.
The Indian government recently launched their contact tracing app
– Aarogya Setu – which quickly became the fastest downloaded
app on record, with more than 83 million users. Although India is not the first nation to implement a
nationwide contact tracing program, the nation lacks strong privacy and data protection laws for its more
than 1.3 billion citizens. The Guardian reported that the pandemic is being “used as a pretext to erode privacy and
freedom of speech in the name of ‘winning the war’ against coronavirus.” In April The Guardian revealed that a draft government memo explained how the data
gathered by the contact-tracing app could be “de-anonymized” by government officials.
Israel’s attempted grab for tyrannical health surveillance powers were recently
hampered by a decision from the Supreme Court which banned the intelligence community from
tracing the phone location of those infected with COVID-19. The Israeli Shin Bet service was
given emergency powers through the end of April before the court warned of a “slippery slope” where the
surveillance tool could be used against innocent individuals. Whitney Webb recently reported that at least three tech companies involved in the build out
of the “coronavirus surveillance system” have connections to Israel’s government and the usual Big Tech
players.
Following The Orders of the WHO
In early April, Dr. Michael Ryan, the head of the
World Health Organization’s team responsible for the international containment and treatment of
COVID-19, called for looking into families to find potentially sick individuals and isolate them from their
families.
“Due to lock down, most of the transmission that is actually happening in many
countries now is happening in the household at a family level,”Ryan
stated. “In some senses, the transmission has actually been taken off the streets
and pushed back into family units… Now we need to go and look into families, and find those people
who are sick and remove them and isolate them in a safe and dignified manner.”
Ryan was also involved in the now-infamous Event 201, a global
pandemic simulation, conducted on October 18, 2019, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the World
Economic Forum, and John Hopkins University Center for Health Security.
Ryan’s bio states that “from November 2013 to October 2014 he worked with GPEI as Middle East
Polio Response Coordinator” and partnered with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (among others) for a
vaccination program which reached 25 million children in eight target countries as part of 44 mass polio
vaccination campaigns.
Ironically enough, the WHO released a document in 2019 which states that under no
circumstances should contract tracing be used. The document, first
reported on by independent researcher Kenny Palurintano, details the WHO’s views on
Non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) in response to a pandemic. In section 6.1, “Contact Tracing,” under “quality
of evidence”, it states, “There is a very low overall quality of evidence that contact tracing has an unknown
effect on the transmission of influenza.” Additionally, under the “Executive Summary”, in Table 1, the WHO
lists contact tracing under the heading “Not Recommend In Any Circumstances”.
Despite the WHO’s own documents denying the validity of contact tracing, officials
in Ventura County are heeding the call of WHO official Dr. Michael Ryan. At a May 4 press conference, Ventura County
Public Health Director Dr. Robert Levin said those who live in homes where they could expose family members to
COVID-19 could be removed from their homes and moved into other health facilities.
“We also realize that as we find more contacts, some of the people we find are
going to have trouble being isolated. For instance, if they live in a home where there is only one bathroom and
there are three or four other people living there, and those people don’t have COVID infection, we’re not going to
be able to keep the person in that home,”Levin stated.“Every person who we’re isolating, for instance, needs to have their own bathroom.And so we’ll
be moving people like this into other kinds of housing that we have available.”
The Ventura County Public Health board did not elaborate on what other kinds of
housing might be made available to those unable to quarantine at home.
If there is a silver lining to the growing support for contact tracing, it might be
the public’s own hesitance to join. According to Forbes, nation-states need about 60 percent of their population to adopt
and regularly use the tool for it to be effective. Forbes reports that most cities are not likely to achieve 60% or
even 40% compliance. Unfortunately,Forbesreminds
us,“It’s a relentless fight. Andit takes an army of tracers.”
Forbes also notes that cities will need to “force changes of behavior” before reopening society.
“Contact-tracing apps are being seen as one of the conditions of ending
lockdowns—mandating and enforcing their use might become a logical next
step.“
How exactly the cities, states, and nations will enforce the use of contact tracing
apps remains to be seen, but we are already seeing a rise in reports of arrests of individuals who violate orders
to close businesses, stay home, and practice social distancing. What should we expect to see when an individual or
an entire community chooses to opt-out of contact tracing surveillance programs?
It is important to understand that contract tracing is only one part of an overall
strategy which poses a danger to liberty and privacy. In addition to creating mobile apps which snitch on you,
Apple, Facebook and Google are also sharing data
with the government to help determine if the public is following social distancing guidelines.
MIT Technology Review reported that at least one company is selling an app that uses machine
learning Artificial Intelligence to monitor social distancing. Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Amazon is using similar software to enforce social distancing
between their warehouse staff. There are also reports of “pandemic drones” flying above the skies of Connecticut
and Maryland to monitor social distancing and take temperatures.
Together these technologies represent the foundation of the Technocratic State,
built on top of the fears of a public which has been conditioned to accept any and all relief from the terrifying
round-the-clock coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. If the public accepts the COVID1984 Technocracy in the name of
“getting back to normal” it’s likely the world we have known will be regarded as a relic of a past era, a quaint
idea of what life was like and what it could be, if only the public could defeat the new invisible enemy, COVID19.
However, it’s important to understand the institutions which are benefitting from the current pandemic. Only by
acknowledging the true power players – those who maneuver behind the scenes to profit and enslave – can the free
hearts and minds of the world defeat the true enemy: COVID-1984.

Encourages Americans to take photographs
of “suspicious” persons & vehicles
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
September 20, 2012
Homeland Security officials in Delaware are
hoping to enlist citizens as spies for the state by encouraging them to use a new app which allows smartphone users
to attach pictures of “suspicious” vehicles or persons and send them directly to the federal government.
“The Delaware Information and Analysis Center (DIAC) now offers a mobile app to report suspicious
activities in real-time by attaching a photo, sending location information, or entering details about suspicious
vehicles or persons. In addition, users can choose to make their report anonymously or can include contact
information for follow-up by law enforcement,” reports
DailyFinance.com.
The new “Anti-Terrorism Mobile FORCE 1-2 App” is available for both iPhone and Android users and is
being touted as a method of leveraging tips provided by citizens to “help protect the State”.
The information received is channeled through the state Fusion Center (DIAC) and then shared
amongst federal, state and local law enforcement.
The federal government has moved to aggressively protect federal Fusion Centers, which are littered
across the country, from Congressional insight and has shielded their employees from taking responsibility for
their actions.
A memorandum of understanding written by the FBI back in 2008 dictated that information collected
by Fusion Centers could only be disclosed to Congress as part of an investigation “after consultation with the
FBI.”
The memorandum also, “Exempts even reports and statistics that could show overzealous surveillance
and other possible misbehavior by Fusion Center staff,” writes Declan McCullagh.
Under the Department of Homeland Security’s See Something, Say Something initiative, all manner of
banal activities have been characterized as “suspicious”.
A 2011
PSA for the program labeled behavior such as opposing surveillance, using a video camera, talking to
police officers, wearing hoodies, driving vans, writing on a piece of paper, and using a cell phone recording
application as potential indications of terrorism. The last example is particularly ironic given that the DIAC app
requires people to take photographs in public to report suspicious activity – an activity which in itself has been
characterized
as suspicious by the authorities.
Earlier
this year, we reported on a number of flyers issued under the FBI’s Communities Against Terrorism (CAT)
program which identified behavior such as paying for a cup of coffee with cash, showing concern for privacy when
using the Internet in a public place, or using Google Maps as potential signs of terrorist activity.
Enlisting untrained citizens to be the eyes and ears of the state is a classic hallmark of an
authoritarian society.
At the height of its influence around one in seven of the East German population was an informant for the Stasi.
History clearly tells us that using citizens to inform on their fellow countrymen does not make a
nation safer and only serves to breed distrust and suspicion amongst a host population.
As Robert Gellately of Florida State Universityhas highlighted, Germans under Hitler
denounced their neighbors and friends not because they genuinely believed them to be a security threat, but because
they expected to selfishly benefit from doing so, both financially, socially and psychologically via a pavlovian
need to be rewarded by their masters for their obedience.
Having the state encourage citizens to report “suspicious activity” is not only un-American, it
represents a direct attack on the idea that a law abiding citizen can go about their business without the onerous
psychological pressure of knowing that their every behavior could be analyzed and misinterpreted by a fellow
citizen.
This psychologically compels people not only to moderate their behavior, including their political
speech and exercising of inherent freedoms, but it also bolsters the myth that terrorists are potentially lurking
around every corner and that the vast bloated budgets swallowed up by federal Fusion Centers are justified.
In reality, as Ohio University’s
John Mueller has documented, the likelihood of actually being a victim of terrorism is infinitesimally small, a
fact which only highlights how such threats are hyperbolically exaggerated for political and monetary purposes.

Shutter, then shudder. Spy-app sends smartphone pics to
police
Published time: March 07, 2012 23:46
Edited time: March 08, 2012 03:46
Snitching has eventually entered the digital age thanks to
a new smartphone app that lets anyone, anywhere tell the police: “Hey! That’s kind of weird!”
Authorities in the state of West Virginia are encouraging residents to install an Android and iPhone
application that lets alerting law enforcement of suspicious activity become as easy as a click of a button — or,
for some smartphone owners, the touch of a screen.
The official government website for the state of West Virginia now prominently features a product available for
download on select mobile devices. It’s the Suspicious Activity Reporting mobile application and it lets users type
up notes about any mundane yet worrisome incident they witness and send it straight over to local law enforcement.
The app even allows the user to capture and upload a photo of someone they might consider suspicious, only to then
provide the police with a detailed visual description of someone who may — or may not — be up to no good.
"Through the use of innovative technology our citizens can download the new Suspicious Activity Reporting
Application for free and help protect their own communities," Governor Earl Ray Tomblin reasons with the
West Virginia State Journal. "With the assistance of our citizens, important information can quickly get into
the hands of our law enforcement community allowing them to provide better protection."
But what constitutes suspicious, exactly?
The WV.gov website warns, “This application is not intended for emergency purposes” and that in
such an event the citizen should dial 911. What use does the app have then, other than to just say, “This guy
gives me the creeps”? The device’s manufacturers add that any tips, such as suspicious vehicles or mysterious
packages, can be reported anonymously if the user opts for that choice. They are offering the product up for
download free of charge.
Prior to hooking up with the makers of the Suspicious Activity Reporting app, or SAR, officials in West Virginia
relied on residents to fill out oh-so-bothersome paper reports or, heaven forbid, log-on to their website to alert
police of suspicious activity. Now not only is it easier than ever, but with smartphones capable of collecting
high-resolution photos, video, audio and more, to a degree it is allowing detectives to outsource their
surveillance operations to civilians.
On the official Google Android page that hosts the download for the application, the sole review salutes law
enforcement for encouraging users to download the program. “If every West Virginia resident that owns a smart
phone (and knows how to use it) gets this app . . . you'll literally have 10 citizen spy's working for
you!” reads the write-up.
If you’re concerned about your privacy, that might not be the greatest.
Recently law enforcement in New Orleans, Louisiana began letting citizens submit tips over the Internet in lieu
of their traditional 1-800 hotline. There police Chief Ronal Serpas said that “people are willing to
communicate” with officers more willingly by taking their citizen vigilance online, but others are just
as concerned as some in West Virginia. In New Orleans, the cops are just responding to allegations of drug
trafficking submitted online — they are placing massive orange signs on the houses.
While the SAR app might not necessarily have as branding as an effect, it could create fear across the state as
citizens anywhere in public are put under an unlimited number of watchful eyes. It cities such as Manhattan, law
enforcement can already rely on their thousands of surveillance cameras to snoop on citizens at seemingly every
public space in the city. The catch there, however, is that most are aware. In West Virginia though, it seems as if
the authorities are only encouraging people to stealthy become their own sleuths.
"The longer you wait, the less accurate eyewitness information becomes and evidence fades," Thom
Kirk, director of the Fusion Center, stresses to the Journal. "Enabling the information to be sent at the time
the activity is taking place will not only improve the accuracy of the report, but also improve the ability of the
authorities to respond quickly."
Keep in mind, of course, that 911 says emergencies should be handled otherwise, though.
Last year the town of Farmington Hills, Michigan was outfitted with around a dozen, $3,000-a-piece lampposts
that double as surveillance cameras and WiFi hubs that allow police to monitor remotely from miles away. While its
inventor insisted at the time, “This is not a system with spook technology,” authorities can indeed
log-in to the lampposts and keep an eye on the tiny town.
In Farmington Hills, a Federal Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant for $791,300 helped fund the
project. The SAR app in West Virginia was developed free-of-charge in part by the state’s own Division of Homeland
Security.

Resistance To
Lockdown Builds - Coronavirus Tyrants Losing Their
Grip -
RonPaulLibertyReport
From Maine to California, Americans are defying government officials and
reclaiming their First Amendment rights to assemble and protest. They are opening their businesses
up in open defiance of the authoritarian political leaders. The resistance is building and
thankfully remains (mostly) peaceful. How long until the dam breaks and the lockdown regime comes
crashing down?
When an unskilled, $17/hour “contact tracer” shows up on your doorstep, how will you respond? Will he or she be
able to wreck your life in a few short minutes? Follow the saga of Henry Kron and his family.
Be sure to see all the headlines and the video at the end of the story! There’s more. Much more. That’s why it’s
“to be continued…” TN Editor
Henry Kron and his wife Helen had just enjoyed a family dinner time with their two pre-teen daughters, Leanne
and Elise. Henry headed to the coat closet to get the girls’ favorite board game off the top shelf.
He had promised that this would be “game night” and they were all looking forward to it.
Actually, life was just starting to look good again after the extended lockdown during the global pandemic. That
one had cost Henry his last job and finding a new job was next to impossible with 40 million other Americans out of
work at the same time.
In fact, the lack of income for several months left them unable to make their house payment for two months in
row. They came within an inch of being foreclosed. Their retirement fund wasn’t large, but it took the whole thing
just to get caught up.
With a lot of hard work and a bit of luck, Henry had finally landed a good job. Even though he would be on
probation for the first 90 days, he was determined to do whatever it would take to keep the job.
Just as they decided who would get to roll the dice to start the game, the doorbell rang.
Henry went to the door thinking “Who would call on us at this time of the evening?” He certainly was not
expecting anyone.
As he opened the door, there stood a soldier in a crisp, clean fatigue uniform.
“Mr. Kron?” he asked.
“Yes,” replied Henry, “is something going on in the neighborhood?”
“No, sir,” he replied, “I am here to give you and your family a coronavirus test because we received a report
that you have unknowingly been exposed to someone who actually had the virus.”
“What? Who was that?” Henry asked.
“I’m not at liberty to say, sir,” he replied, “All of that kind of information is private and confidential.”
Henry immediately thought back to the restaurant he and his wife visited for dinner two days ago. They were
asking each guest to fill out a form with their name and address info, and they did. The waitress said it had
something to do with contact tracing rules just implemented in their state.
The soldier explained that testing was mandatory but there would be no cost to him. It would only take a couple
of minutes to take samples from everyone in the household.
Reluctantly, Henry consented. What else could he do?
After signing the HIPAA agreement and liability waiver, the soldier took a quick cheek swab of all four of
them.
“I will take these kits to the lab for processing tonight,” he said, “and I will personally get back to you in
the morning with the results.”
“Oh, and Mr. Kron, until you hear from me, please remain at home, just in case.”
After this intrusion, game night was overshadowed by the fear of “what if”. Nobody really felt like laughing and
Henry and Helen had a restless night after the girls went to bed.
Just after breakfast the next morning, the phone rang.
“This is Henry Kron speaking,” he answered as he picked it up with a twinge of dread in his stomach.
“Mr. Kron, I’m sorry to report that your wife Helen tested positive for COVID-19 even though she has no symptoms
yet,” the caller said, “so, your family will have to make some adjustments over the next two weeks.”
“What kind of adjustments?” Henry asked.
“Well, you will all have to ‘self-quarantine at home’ and avoid contact with anyone else,” the caller explained.
“We can help you with any needs you might have, like groceries or pharmaceuticals.”
“You mean my daughters can’t go to school?”
“That’s correct, sir, they will have to stay home for the duration.”
“Do you mean I can’t go to work?”
“That’s also correct, sir, but only for two weeks. We will test all of you again at the end just to confirm that
you are all in the clear.”
Henry was starting to feel a sense of panic. Could they really do this to him?
“Wait!” Henry exclaimed, “If I don’t go to work tomorrow, I will be fired from my new job, and if I get fired
again, I will lose my house. In any case, I just read that your COVID-19 tests are returning a high percentage of
false positives. You can’t do this to me!”
“I understand how you feel, sir, but our contact tracing guidelines are very clear and your cooperation is
essential to help keep you and everyone else safe and well.”
“Well, you can stick that in your ear, soldier boy,” Henry exclaimed with rising temper, “I am going to work and
that is the end of matter.”
“Sir, it’s not that easy. We require daily contact with you until the two week period is completed, and if you
violate the order, you will receive a citation that will cost $500 per day.”
“Furthermore,” he explained, “if you were to test positive before the end of self-quarantine, you could be
criminally charged for intentionally spreading the coronavirus, and that could mean one year in jail.”
“Oh, and Mr. Kron? We will also need to know everyone you and your family have been in contact with during the
last 7 days.”
Henry’s heart sank. He knew this was the end of the line for him and his family. He was trapped. He had worked
so hard for so many years to get where he was, but this would be the final blow that killed it all.
He could seek low income housing, but the application line was a mile long because unemployment was so high.
Maybe they would just sell everything and start over somewhere else.
“More sleepless nights ahead,” he told Helen. Their daughters didn’t fully understand, but they knew their
parents were very upset. They all hugged, temporarily oblivious to COVID-19. At least they had each other. For
now…
Broward County Administrator Discussing Removing People From Family Homes for COVID-19

GUN GEO
MARKER!
Snoop Society Has A New Gun Grabbing Tool
Infowars.com
July 13, 2013 The Gun Geo Marker app, created by a group called The Walkingtools Laboratory and available
through the Google Play Android marketplace, says "marking dangerous sites on the App's map" will let "you and
others... be aware of the risks in your neighborhood."
"The Gun Geo Marker operates very simply, letting parents and community members mark, or geolocate, sites
associated with potentially unsafe guns and gun owners," the app's Google Play store description states.
"Electronically marking these locations can help others in the area learn about their geography of risk from
gun accidents or violence," the software's creators claim.
GunGeoMarker.org's "Gun Marking Guidelines" outline what types of gun owners users should be concerned with, in
addition to making political jabs at the U.S. Congress, the National Rifle Association, and varying degrees of
gun owners.
The program gives users the option to mark homes, businesses and other locations with different designations
that the app's creators believe will increase public safety because, as its website states, "congress has left
parents with so few options to protect their families from potentially dangerous gun owners that erring on the
side of safety is highly advised."
Gun owners fearful of a centralized gun-owner database may thank the University of California in San Diego
along with the Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil for the ingenious app, which can not only identify homes
that are merely suspected of having guns, but can also note if those guns are loaded or not, and whether or not
they may be locked in a safe.
According to the app's guidelines, "unlocked, loaded or carelessly stored weapons should generally be treated
with concern by friends, neighbors and visitors," and should be marked.
Also, if you've recently just picked up your first firearm, you're liable to be marked as a threat by someone.
"First time gun owners or others who may not have not [sic] taken basic gun safety training, or who were not
raised in a culture of gun safety, represent a real and present danger to their community, themselves and their
family members," the site states. http://www.infowars.com/new-app-allow...

Big Brother is watching and it's not who you think. Jesse Ventura's investigation of government surveillance on its

Advisory aimed at Internet Cafe owners characterizes
mundane behavior as “suspicious activity”
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Tuesday, February 7, 2012
An FBI advisory aimed at Internet Cafe owners
instructs businesses to report people who regularly use cash to pay for their coffee as potential terrorists.
The flyer, issued under the FBI’s Communities Against Terrorism (CAT) program, lists examples of
“suspicious activity” and then encourages businesses to gather information about individuals and report them to the
authorities.
“Each flyer is designed for a particular kind of business,” writes Linda
Lewis, a former policy analyst and planner for the U.S. government. “For example, this list was prepared for
owners of internet cafes. Unquestionably, someone planning a terrorist attack has engaged in one or more of the
“suspicious” activities on that list. But so, too, have most of the estimated 289 million computer users in this
country.”
Indeed, the flyer aimed at Internet Cafe owners characterizes customers who “always pay cash” as
potential terrorists.
Of course, the vast majority of people who visit Internet Cafes use cash to pay their bill. Who
uses a credit card to buy a $2 dollar cup of coffee? A lot of smaller establishments don’t even accept credit cards
for amounts less than $10 dollars.
Other examples of suspicious behavior include using a “residential based Internet provider” such as
AOL or Comcast, the use of “anonymizers, portals, or other means to shield IP address” (these are routinely used by
mobile web users to bypass public Internet filters), “Suspicious communications using VOIP,” and “Preoccupation
with press coverage of terrorist attack” (this would apply to the vast majority of people who work in the news or
political blogging industry).
Searching for information about “police” or “government” is also listed as a potential indication
of terrorism, as is using a computer to “obtain photos, maps or diagrams of transportation, sporting venues, or
populated locations,” which would apply to virtually anyone who uses Google Maps or Google Earth.
People who may wish to keep private the contents of a personal email or an online credit card
purchase by attempting to”shield the screen from view of others” are also characterized as potential
terrorists.
Business owners who spot patrons engaging in these types of activities are encouraged to call the
FBI’s Joint Regional Intelligence Center (JRIC), after first gathering information on license plates, names,
ethnicity, and languages spoken.
In total, there are 25 different CAT flyers aimed at
businesses from across the spectrum – everything from hobby shops to tattoo parlors.
As we have
documented on numerous occasions, the federal government routinely characterizes mundane behavior as extremist
activity or a potential indicator of terrorist intent. As part of its ‘See Something, Say Something’ campaign, the
Department of Homeland Security educates the public that generic activities performed by millions of people every
day, including using a video camera, talking to police officers, wearing hoodies, driving vans, writing on a piece
of paper, and using a cell phone recording application,” are potential signs of terrorist activity.
The CAT program again underscores how federal authorities are empowering poorly trained citizens to
become terrorist hunters, stoking fears that America is sinking deeper into a Stasi-style informant society.
Last week we
reported on how the DHS had trained hot dog sellers and other vendors to spot terrorists at this past
weekend’s Super Bowl event.
Feel like a healthy bit of gallows humor? Seems like Alex Jones had just gotten a new gig
as a Barista when his mind started playing tricks on him. All that "See Something Say Something" dogma might have
gone to his head this time. Or maybe the propaganda by Big Sis, Homeland Security, Infra-guard, or those pesky
F.B.I. leaflets have finally turned him to the dark side. Tune in and see what kind of trouble the alter-ego
mobster style Alex Jones can get himself into when he turns Federal Informant for the Infra-Guard.
It’s no longer Al-Qaeda,
it’s now supposedly your friends and neighbors. This is the
prevailing meme of every tyrannical fascist regime in history.

In 1991, the Club published The First Global
Revolution. It analyses the problems of humanity, calling these collectively or in essence the 'problematique'. It
notes (laments) that, historically, social or political unity has commonly been motivated by enemies in common:
"The need for enemies seems to be a common historical factor. Some states have striven to overcome domestic failure
and internal contradictions by blaming external enemies. The ploy of finding a scapegoat is as old as mankind itself - when things
become too difficult at home, divert attention to adventure abroad. Bring the divided nation together to face
an outside enemy, either a real one, or else one invented for the purpose. With the disappearance of the
traditional enemy, the temptation is to use religious or ethnic minorities as scapegoats, especially those
whose differences from the majority are disturbing." "Every state has been so used to classifying its
neighbours as friend or foe, that the sudden absence of traditional adversaries has left governments and
public opinion with a great void to fill. New enemies have to be identified, new strategies imagined, and new
weapons devised."
