COVID "Socialist Distancing" Has Lowered the Life Expectancy of Black People to 71.5 Yrs, Increasing the Gap w/Whites [77.6 yrs]. Still, the "White Race," Unable to Produce Color, Continues to Decline

As stated by Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, white people are vulnerable to their sense of numerical inadequacy. Most white people consciously or subconsciously understand the following;

White plus Black equals Colored.

White plus Brown equals Colored.

White plus Yellow equals Colored.

The declining white population is not a new or reversible trend - the decline has only quickened. Although rarely discussed, white people are genetic recessive. It is scientific fact that Black is a genetically dominant trait. Whenever Black mixes with White, which is a recessive genetic trait, Black will dominate. In general, this means "whites" cannot reproduce a white child when they have sexual relations with non-whites. The so-called white "race" can and eventually will be replaced or "genetically annihilated" through such assimilation or social intermixing with non-whites. As white populations have been consistently declining, Black and Brown populations are surging. And this scares some racists to death, CAUSING THEM TO ACT OUT GENOCIDALLY AND genthanasiastically [MORE]

The LA Times states Americans were in trouble, with an average life expectancy that had sunk below that of any other affluent country.

Now, new research finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has delivered another crushing blow to longevity in the United States. In just two years, the pandemic that has killed more than 600,000 Americans has slashed close to two years off the average life expectancy.

An American born in 2018 could expect to live 78.7 years, on average. At the end of 2020, that number had fallen to 76.9 years, according to research published this week in the medical journal BMJ.

That precipitous drop — more than eight times steeper than in any other country in the U.S.’ economic league — now puts American life spans on par with those seen in Peru, Colombia, Chile and Thailand. Not since World War II have Americans experienced such a steep dive in longevity.

But those averages hide an even more shocking reality in communities of color. The pandemic’s power to shorten the lives of Black and brown people in the U.S. has been even more striking.

In fact, in just one year, the pandemic has wiped out two decades of progress made by Black Americans in narrowing a longevity gap with white Americans. 

In 2018, a Black American had an average life span of 74.7 years. But by the end of 2020, the life expectancy of a Black American had dropped by more than three years, to 71.5 years. Meanwhile, the average life span for white Americans dropped from 78.6 years to 77.3 years.

In other words, the gap between Black and white Americans grew from 3.9 years to 5.8 years.

For Latino Americans, the pandemic’s damage has cut even more deeply. Despite their higher rates of poverty and hardship, U.S. residents who identify as Latino have historically lived close to three years longer, on average, than non-Hispanic whites.

But the pandemic’s outsized toll in Latino communities, especially among working-age adults, has all but wiped out that advantage.

In 2018, a Latino resident of the United States could expect to live 81.8 years. By 2020, that had sunk to 78 years.

“Look at the massive disproportionality and the profundity of the insult shown here,” said Dr. Clyde Yancy, a Northwestern University cardiologist who has called on colleagues to address racial and ethnic inequities in medicine. “We have to reengineer our societies and healthcare for better opportunity, and for greater health equity. If we had to roll up our sleeves before, now we have to fundamentally start over.”

In an editorial published alongside the new research, UC Berkeley demographer Magali Barbieri wrote that the pandemic has “operated as a magnifier of already existing vulnerabilities within the U.S. population.”

The United States spends by far the most on healthcare of any high-income country — a whopping 17% of its gross domestic product, Barbieri wrote. But even that won’t fix the inequities made plain by the new life expectancy numbers if leaders fail to acknowledge and address the needs of vulnerable Americans, she wrote.

Computing figures for average life expectancy at birth may seem like a sterile statistical exercise. But they are an important measure of a nation’s health. In addition to revealing health inequities within a given country, they offer a standard yardstick by which to compare the health of people in different countries.

Childhood vaccination, better pregnancy care and wider use of disease-preventing treatments will nudge a country’s life expectancies upward. War, famine, disease and inefficient use of medical resources will drive them downward. Life span inequities within a country will drag down a country’s average and expose systemic discrimination and societal fissures.

The paper’s senior author, Dr. Steven Woolf, said he is often challenged to understand why the world’s wealthiest country — a country that quickly produced a trio of COVID-19 vaccines that are among the world’s most powerful — has fared so poorly in limiting the pandemic’s toll.

“It’s a vivid paradox,” Woolf said. “We really do a fantastic job in developing cutting-edge medications and technologies in healthcare, but a pretty lousy job of distributing them fairly. The same thing happens with diabetes, hypertension, and even maternal and child health. ... We have a fundamental problem with providing healthcare and getting it out to the people who need it most.”

According to FUNKTIONARY

Richcraft – the sorcery of greed—the use of violence, laws, deception, theft, secret oaths, and oppression to snatch and hoard resources from and gain power over the vast majority of people’s lives through the widespread use of this vicious concoction of nefarious, lethal, legal, and demonstrably devious power. (See: COP, Gangbanking, Privilege, Aristocracy, Corporations, Usury, Power, Oppression, Violence, Greed, Deception, GIMME!, Political Money, Cultural Induction, GEO-Dollars, Control, The Pathocracy & Poor)

Socialist distancing – the ever-expanding and increasing disparity between the haves and the have-nots until the Socialist (i.e., monopoly capitalist) Welfare State becomes the Farewell State—farewell to your rights, your family, friends and even your life through Plandemics (Coronavirus), $camdemics (Corporate State turned Surveillance and Nanny State), 5G bio-weaponized eugenics, starvation, vaccinations, civil unrest, genocide and other nefarious LWO (Last World Order) activities that will greatly reduce the world’s population by 2030. Before Social Distancing, we were experiencing the effects of “Socialist Distancing”...the ever-widening separation between the “haves” (holders) and the “have-nots” (held-back) due to “monopoly capitalism” (centralization of credit in the hands of the State) which by wide academic recognition is the core attribute of communism / socialism, in fact, it is the 5th plank of the Communist Manifesto. The litmus test to any political system is what is used as “money” and who controls (monopolizes) its “issuance.” Labels just don’t cut it. Think deeper...learn to access the underlying reality behind the truth veneer you’ve been conditioned to hold or have been told.

predictive programming – an ancient technique of downloading (marketing) an idea into the subconscious of the conditioned mass-mind (step-by-step) guiding (bringing) the duped victims into a desired or predetermined conclusion that they actually believe was consciously derived on their own. Predictive programming works down through the centuries like a charm. Everyone is standardized with the same indoctrination—conditioned under the same mis-education and disinformation. Since we all watch the same TV and download the same standardized education, it never occurs that we are getting conned, uploaded, downgraded, brain-chipped and ultimately faded from any memory of being an individual self. “Most folk’s beliefs and what they think is induced beliefs, it’s propagated into them through repetition as Bertrand Russell said. Just repetitive advertising and people start parroting it in their daily lives and it’s actually changing the structure of their mind into acceptance of something they don’t even perceive yet.” ~ Alan Watt.

Here We Go Again, Researchers for Authoritarians Claim Trained Dogs Can Sniff Out Covid-19 Infections with 94% accuracy

From [HERE] Dogs have smell receptors up to 10,000 times more powerful and accurate than humans. That allows certain trained dogs to sniff out diseases like cancer, malaria and viral infections.

Now, according to German researchers, trained dogs can sniff out coronavirus infections.

A new study, which was piloted by the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, the Hannover Medical School and the German Armed Forces found that, if properly trained, dogs were able to discriminate between human saliva samples infected with SARS-CoV-2 and non-infected samples with a 94% success rate overall. 

The hope is this method of detection could be one day be used [on black & brown people] in public areas such as airports, sporting events and other mass gatherings (in addition to laboratory testing) to [niggerize them] help prevent future Covid-19 outbreaks, according to researchers. [MORE]

In reality dogs are used by government authorities to niggerize and harm Black and Brown people. WP writer Christy Lopex explains that ‘the US has a long history of racialized used of canine violence, from dogs used to hunt fleeing enslaved people and terrorize civil rights protesters, through the present day. Racial and ethnic disparities in police dog bites persist over time and across the country. Canine force reviews, like the decades-long examination of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, consistently show disparities; during one six-month period, their canines bit only black and Latinx people. In a nine-year nationwide study of emergency room visits for police K-9 bites, 42 percent of the approximately 33,000 bite victims were black.’

Lopez explains, ‘the extent to which we have normalized — and subsidized — police departments’ use of dogs to attack human beings should be chilling. The fact that we fawn over those same dogs at community events — without a thought of whose bodies those dogs have bitten — should be more chilling still. The “criminal apprehension” dogs used to find and bite whomever the police tell them to need to be part of the national conversation about ending unnecessary force. Police canines are bred and trained to ensure that their bite is far more severe than a normal dog bite. The pressure from a police canine bite has been likened by one court to the force of being run over by a car. For decades, the canine-industry contended that police dogs usually cause only minor injuries and bite for 10 to 15 seconds. That is bullshit. The era of body cams and cellphone recordings shows they often bite for much longer and cause significant injury.

Unlike normal dogs, police canines are trained to bite hard, use all their teeth and bite multiple times. Studies have found that over 3,500 police canine bitesannually result in emergency room visits, and that canine force results in a higher proportion of hospital visitations than any other type of police force. On rare occasions, police canines have killed people, including a suspected burglar, a likely trespasser and a homeless woman.

This level of violence cannot be justified by the threat posed. Police dogs routinely use force that unquestionably would be unlawful if used directly by a police officer. The dogs are overwhelmingly set on people suspected of crimes like burglary, car theft, trespassing, traffic violations or “fleeing” from the police, and often used during political protests and immigration raids.

Police canines also inevitably make mistakes, attacking innocent bystanders and their own handlers. A Justice Department attorney investigating the New Orleans Police Department observed a police dog bite its handler twice within a few hours. Canines also do not always stop biting even when ordered to do so. Indeed, at least one canine-industry certification standard passes a dog even if it re-bites and has to be ordered to stop four times. By the way, certification is not universally required.’

As "Shelter in Place" Orders "Took" Citizens' Labor & Business Property w/o Just Compensation in Violation of the 5th Amendment at Least 12 “Legistraitors" Got Paid Off the COVID Rescue Program

From [HERE] At least a dozen lawmakers have ties to organizations that received federal coronavirus aid, according to newly released government data, showing how Washington insiders were both authors and beneficiaries of one of the biggest government programs in U.S. history.

Under pressure from Congress and outside groups, the Trump administration this week disclosed the names of some loan recipients in the $659 billion Paycheck Protection Program, launched in April to help allegedly small businesses keep Americans employed during the pandemic. Connections to lawmakers, and the organizations that work to influence them, were quickly apparent.

Among businesses that received money was a California hotel partially owned by the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and a shipping business started by Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao’s family. Chao is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Car dealerships owned by at least three Republican House members — Reps. Roger Williams of Texas, Vern Buchanan of Florida and Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania — received money. So did fast-food franchises owned by Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., a law firm owned by the husband of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and the former law firm of Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Pa., which employs his wife.

Money also flowed to a farming and equipment business owned by the family of Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., and a regional casino company led by the husband of Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev.

Members of Congress and their families are not barred from receiving loans under the Paycheck Protection Program, and there is no evidence they received special treatment. Loans were granted to Democrats and Republicans alike, something President Trump’s campaign mentioned when records showed donors to his campaign were among the earliest beneficiaries.

Hundreds of millions of dollars also flowed to political consultants, opposition research shops, law firms, advocacy organizations and trade associations whose work is based on influencing government and politics. [MORE]

Last year In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court held that the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment guarantees property owners a right to just compensation at the time a taking occurs. The majority opinion in Knick v. Township of Scott, Pennsylvania, et al, No. 17-647, explicitly overrules Williamson County Regional Planning Commission v. Hamilton Bank of Johnson City, 473 U. S. 172 (1985), which required plaintiffs to seek compensation in state courts first before bringing federal constitutional claims under the Fifth Amendment. [MORE]. This assumes that a Government has given you some Constitutional Rights or you and a government orderly believe that you have them.

Meanwhile governors across the country have issued executive orders mandating the closure of businesses they deem non-essential in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Slowing the spread of COVID-19, in turn, benefits all the state’s residents. Thus, the owner of the closed business is made to sacrifice the use of his or her property for the good of the general public. Has the state thereby effected a taking under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments for which it must compensate the business owner?

There are good arguments for getting to yes. Although shelter in place orders may be necessary they are nevertheless Government seizures of people’s livelihoods and businesses that have forced indefinite closures and widespread layoffs. The government’s actions may be described as “uncompensated takings” that violate the Takings Clause of the 5th Amendment. That is, the government is legally obligated to properly compensate citizens for their tangible losses.

Because the orders would be characterized to effect an alleged regulatory (rather than physical) taking, a fact-intensive, multi-factor analysis applies. The Orders constitute a regulatory taking implemented for a recognized public purpose, and therefore the failure to pay just compensation contravenes the Takings Clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. See Penn Central Transportation Co. v. City of New York, 438 U.S. 104 (1978); Lucas v. S.C. Coastal Council, 505 U.S. 1003 (1992); Horne v. Dep't of Agric., 576 U.S. 350, 135 S. Ct. 2419, 2426 (2015) (“Nothing in the text or history of the Takings Clause, or our precedents, suggests that the rule is any different when it comes to appropriation of personal property. The Government has a categorical duty to pay just compensation when it takes your car, just as when it takes your home.”).

A recent lawsuit makes such an argument and the complaint explains, ‘Without extending constitutionally required just compensation to Plaintiffs and those similarly situated, [shelter in place] Orders jeopardize the sustainability of many businesses and the livelihoods those businesses provide to individuals.’ [MORE]

Detroit is Surrounded by Water but Govt Water Shut Offs Ensure that a Large No of Black Residents Cannot Wash their Hands, Flush Toilets & Clean their homes, thereby Spreading COVID. Suit Filed

WHAT IS RACISM?

From [HERE] Detroit residents backed by the ACLU filed a federal class action Thursday accusing city and state officials of not having a plan in place for low-income residents who face water shutoffs during the coronavirus pandemic.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and water department supervisor Gary Brown are named as defendants in the 101-page lawsuit, and are alleged to have shown “deliberate indifference to the known risks of living without water service that could, did, and will cause harm to plaintiffs.”

The introduction of the complaint states as follows [annotations omitted]:

“Water is a human right and a basic necessity, especially in a time of pandemic. Access to safe, affordable water is critical to stop the spread of COVID- 19 and other bacterial or viral infections through frequent handwashing and cleaning. In Detroit, however, thousands of residents—who are predominantly and disproportionately Black—have suffered from the lack of water service in their homes for years. These residents, many of whom have had their water service temporarily restored during the pandemic, will risk losing their water service again when Detroit resumes its water shutoff policy. The lack of water places these residents and members of their communities, including schools, workplaces, and other shared spaces, at risk of contracting bodily illnesses, including COVID-19.

2. Detroit has had a water affordability crisis for decades.1 While water is generally considered “affordable” when families spend no more than 2% to 2.5% of their household incomes for water services,2 low-income Detroit residents must pay an average of 10% of their household incomes on water,3 and some pay much more.4 As a result, many families in Detroit struggle to pay their water bills.

3. When customers’ water bills go unpaid, DWSD, a department of the City of Detroit, disconnects their service without first determining whether customers have the means to pay their bills. The looming resumption of water shutoffs will exacerbate an existing public health emergency in Detroit absent this Court’s intervention.

4. Between 2014 and 2019, more than 141,000 households in Detroit had their water service disconnected for non-payment.5 Some families live for years without water service in their homes after a disconnection by DWSD. Others are trapped in a cycle of water insecurity with repeated disconnections and reconnections. These water insecure families risk losing service at any time because of their inability to pay DWSD’s rates.

5. In 2014, Detroit disconnected water service to approximately 44,000 households for non-payment of bills.6 In 2018, Detroit disconnected water service from more than 16,000 households.7 In 2019, shutoffs rose again to a total of 23,473.8 As of January 2020, approximately 9,500 homes in Detroit were reportedly still without water service.9

6. Families without water service in their homes are susceptible to infection. Through the years, Detroit’s water shutoff policy has resulted in outbreaks of various forms of infectious diseases, as well as other threats to the health of affected families resulting from such things as the inability of people with diabetes to prepare medically necessary meals, the inability of parents to prepare infant formula, dehydration, and various other health consequences associated with the lack of water. Families without water service are also at risk of involvement with Child Protective Services, as the lack of running water is a factor in determining whether parents are providing a suitable home for their children.10 In many cases, individuals who live without water service in their homes have become carriers of disease, infecting others within their physical proximity. This has created a public health emergency in Detroit.

7. Despite repeated, consistent demands for remedial action by affected communities and their advocates, including Plaintiff People’s Water Board Coalition, Defendants’ response to this public health emergency has been woefully inadequate and appallingly weak. Defendants have failed to implement a program to ensure that Detroit’s water insecure population has long-term access to affordable water and Defendant Detroit has continued to employ water shutoffs as a collection method despite the known risks of living without water.

8. The public health emergency caused by Detroit’s water shutoff policy has been exacerbated by the current pandemic.

9. Water shutoffs disproportionately impact Detroit’s Black and low- income residents. Detroit is a predominantly Black city and has a significant population of impoverished residents. According to data reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, as of July 2019, the population of Detroit was 670,031.11 Approximately 79% of the city’s population is Black and nearly 15% is white.12 In Detroit, 36.4% of the population is impoverished.13 Black people comprise the largest percentage of impoverished or low-income residents of Detroit.14

10. Detroit is the epicenter of COVID-19 infections within Wayne County. As of May 15, 2020, Detroit’s confirmed cases were concentrated in predominantly Black and lower-income neighborhoods.15 According to the Brookings Institution, 90% of the city’s zip codes with the highest number of confirmed cases have populations that are at least 80% Black.16 Data compiled by the City of Detroit shows that Black people account for 82.1% of COVID-related deaths in the city.17 As of late May 2020, Wayne County had the fifth highest death toll from COVID-19 in the country.18

11. Since the COVID-19 crisis began, Defendants and other government officials have admonished members of the public to engage in regular handwashing to prevent infection and the spread of disease. Yet, through its water shutoff policy, Detroit has made handwashing a practical impossibility for thousands of families in the city for nearly 20 years.19

12. The arrival of COVID-19 signaled catastrophe for Detroit communities that were unable to engage in defensive or preventive handwashing and other cleaning measures because of the lack of water service in their homes. The rates of infection in Detroit outpaced all other regions in the State of Michigan as well as many regions throughout the country.

13. Through its Water Restart Plan and Governor Whitmer’s Executive Order (“EO”) 2020-28,20 Detroit has been required since March 2020 to halt its water shutoff policy and restore water service to all customers previously disconnected for non-payment. On July 8, 2020, Defendant Whitmer rescinded EO 2020-28 and replaced it with EO 2020-144, which requires the restoration of water service to customers for non-payment until December 31, 2020.21 However, Defendant Whitmer has not taken the actions necessary to ensure long-term water affordability and access in Detroit. In fact, EO 2020-144 specifies that it does not relieve a customer of the obligation to pay for water, prevent a public water supply from charging any customer for water service, or reduce the amount a resident may owe to a public water supply.

14. Additionally, while EO 2020-28 was in effect, she failed to ensure that municipalities like Detroit were in compliance with the order.

15. In June 2020, the Michigan Legislature passed a bill that will, among other appropriations, grant $25 million to water utility providers across the state to assist customers with arrearages and fees incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.23 This assistance is limited to $700 per household.24 It provides no relief to customers for arrearages incurred prior to the COVID-19 pandemic or after December 2020, nor any long-term relief for Detroit’s water insecure population. Governor Whitmer signed the bill into law on July 1, 2020, but Defendant Detroit has not indicated whether it will participate in the program.

16. Defendants Detroit, Duggan, and Brown failed to fully comply with EO 2020-28 and restore water service to all customers previously disconnected for non- payment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon information and belief, some families in Detroit still lack water service as of the date of this filing, while the pandemic continues to threaten the health of city residents. Consequently, Defendants Detroit, Duggan, and Brown are also currently out of compliance with EO 2020-144, which replaced EO 2020-28. Further, Defendant Duggan has announced that Detroit will resume water shutoffs for customers who cannot keep up with their bill payments after the coronavirus crisis has passed.25

17. By creating conditions that contribute to and threaten the introduction of infectious disease by knowingly and purposefully preventing many Detroit residents from washing their hands, flushing their toilets, and cleaning their homes, Defendants have caused and continue to cause disastrous consequences for Plaintiffs and thousands of similarly situated individuals.

18. Plaintiffs bring this action for injunctive, declaratory, and compensatory relief under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, alleging that Defendants have violated their rights to substantive due process. In particular, Plaintiffs allege that Defendants deliberately and knowingly breached the constitutionally protected bodily integrity of Plaintiffs through their deliberate indifference to the known risks of living without water service that could, did, and will cause harm to Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege Defendants Detroit, Duggan, and Brown have violated their rights to substantive due process under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 by these actions.

19. Plaintiffs also bring this action for injunctive, declaratory, and compensatory relief under the equal protection guarantees of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the Michigan Constitution of 1963, alleging that Defendant Detroit has violated their equal protection rights by disconnecting the water service of predominately Black impoverished customers without first determining whether they have the ability to pay.

20. Plaintiffs further bring this action for injunctive, declaratory, and compensatory relief pursuant to the FHA and the ELCRA, alleging that Defendant Detroit’s water shutoff policy has a disproportionate and unjustified impact on Black residents.

From 21. January 2017 to July 2018, 95% of residential water shutoffs occurred in Census tracts with a population that was greater than 50% Black. Additionally, from January 2019 to January 2020, 96% of residential water shutoffs occurred in zip codes with a population greater than 50% Black. These disparities persist even when controlling for differences in income and the number of unoccupied homes in Detroit.

22. Defendant Detroit’s policy of disconnecting water service to customers for non-payment causes Black residents to disproportionately experience water shutoffs, forcing them to live without water service in their homes.

23. Through its water shutoff policy, Defendant Detroit discriminates against Black residents in violation of the FHA and ELCRA. [MORE]

Mastercard & The Bill Gates-funded GAVI Vaccine Alliance will Beta-test a Biometric Digital Identity System w/Vaccination records & a payment system in poor, remote communities in W Africa

Movement restrictions & identification measures were Imposed on Jews in Nazi Germany. Such measures included personal Jew identification cards, passports marked with a J, assignment of names and the outward marking of persons with a yellow star. Jews age six years or older were allowed to appear in public only when wearing the Jewish star. Without the star (and meticulous record keeping) there was no way to tell who was a semite and who was not. The star enabled the police to pick up any Jew, anywhere, anytime. Seem familiar? [MORE]

From [HERE] Abiometric digital identity platform that “evolves just as you evolve” is set to be introduced in “low-income, remote communities” in West Africa thanks to a public-private partnership between the Bill Gates-backed GAVI vaccine alliance, Mastercard and the AI-powered “identity authentication” company, Trust Stamp.

The program, which was first launched in late 2018, will see Trust Stamp’s digital identity platform integrated into the GAVI-Mastercard “Wellness Pass,” a digital vaccination record and identity system that is also linked to Mastercard’s click-to-play system that powered by its AI and machine learning technology called NuData. Mastercard, in addition to professing its commitment to promoting “centralized record keeping of childhood immunization” also describes itself as a leader toward a “World Beyond Cash,” and its partnership with GAVI marks a novel approach towards linking a biometric digital identity system, vaccination records, and a payment system into a single cohesive platform. The effort, since its launch nearly two years ago, has been funded via $3.8 million in GAVI donor funds in addition to a matched donation of the same amount by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

In early June, GAVI reported that Mastercard’s Wellness Pass program would be adapted in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Around a month later, Mastercard announced that Trust Stamp’s biometric identity platform would be integrated into Wellness Pass as Trust Stamp’s system is capable of providing biometric identity in areas of the world lacking internet access or cellular connectivity and also does not require knowledge of an individual’s legal name or identity to function. The Wellness Program involving GAVI, Mastercard, and Trust Stamp will soon be launched in West Africa and will be coupled with a Covid-19 vaccination program once a vaccine becomes available.

The push to implement biometrics as part of national ID registration systems has been ongoing for many years on the continent and has become a highly politicized issue in several African countries. Opposition to similar projects in Africa often revolves around the costs surrounding them, such as the biometric voter management system that the Electoral Commission of Ghana has been trying to implement ahead of their 2020 general election in December. Bright Simons, honorary VP of the IMANI policy think tank, has questioned the “budgetary allocation” for the new system, claiming that the “unnecessary registration of 17 million people all over again” represents millions of dollars “being blown for reasons that nobody can explain in this country.”

Masking ulterior motives

Trust Stamp’s biometric identity system, largely funded by Mastercard’s massive investment in the company in February, utilizes a technology it calls Evergreen Hash that creates an AI-generated “3D mask” based on a single photo of a person’s face, palm or fingerprint. Once this “mask” is created, much of the original data is discarded and encryption keys are created in place of a person’s name or other more traditional identifiers.

“Only a small percentage of the data that originally existed is in the hash,” Trust Stamp CEO Gareth Genner has stated. “What you have is something safer for storing because it can’t be used to directly identify you. No one would recognize you in this huge jumble of numbers.” The result, according to Genner, is an “irreversible non-personally identifiable information” system that “protects privacy, reduces potential for misuse and allows effective inclusion when there is no other form of legal record.”

Genner also explained in a recent press release that the unique “hash” is capable of “evolving” as a new hash with updated health information is created every time a child or individual gets a vaccine. Trust Stamp’s AI algorithms can accurately determine if different hashes belong to the same individual, meaning that “the hash evolves over time just as you evolve,” said Genner.

It is unclear how much the Wellness Pass initiative is motivated by public health concerns as opposed to free market considerations. Indeed, the GAVI alliance, largely funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates and Rockefeller Foundations, as well as allied governments and the vaccine industry, is principally concerned with improving “the health of markets for vaccines and other immunization products,” rather than the health of individuals, according to its own website. Similarly, Mastercard’s GAVI partnership is directly linked to its “World Beyond Cash” effort, which mainly bolsters its business model that has long depended on a reduction in the use of physical cash.

Dual use tyranny

Trust Stamp also shares this market-focused vision for its digital identity system as the company has stated that it is looking for new commercialization options for its Evergreen Hash technology, specifically with prison systems. Talks with private and public prison systems have revealed an interest in their utilization of Trust Stamp’s technology to provide identification for individuals on parole “without making them pay for pricey ankle bracelets that monitor their every move,” as Trust Stamp’s platform would ostensibly provide that same function but in a “touchless” and less expensive manner.

Trust Stamp’s interest in providing its technology to both COVID-19 response and to law enforcement is part of a growing trend where numerous companies providing digital solutions to  COVID-19 also offer the same solutions to prison systems and law enforcement for the purposes of surveillance and “predictive policing.”

Akufo-Addo Denies His Voice is on Audio Claiming COVID was Created at FT Detrick to Cause Govt Dependence & Warning ‘A Lack of Interaction Weakens Our Immune System Allowing It to Infect/Spread’

During George Floyd’s Houston funeral there was a reference to the message of condolence sent to Mr Floyd's family by Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo. It was also mentioned that at the president's request, Mr Floyd's name had been permanently mounted on the wall of the Diasporan African Forum at the W.E.B. Du Bois Centre in Ghana's capital, Accra.

Also Akufo-Addo declared 2019, the 400th anniversary of the start of the transatlantic slave trade, “the Year of Return,” with a special invitation to all Africans in the diaspora, especially the descendants of slaves, to come to Ghana, either to visit or even to live permanently. [MORE]

 A 14-minute audio purported to be from the President of Ghana, Akufo-Addo, warns Ghanaians to pay attention to an alleged extract from an article titled ‘Rockefeller Lockstep 2010’ on the Rockefeller website. According to AFP Factcheck the Ghana information minister said the claim that the president’s voice is on the recording it is “absolutely false.” [MORE] and [MORE] It clearly does not sound like him - as he has an english sounding accent [listen to his voice on this speech at the Harvard Kennedy School]. The speaker might be an African religious figure because at the end of it he discusses, ‘the role of the church in resisting evil.’

Like all conspiracy theories it relies upon your particular “beliefs,” anecdotal facts and lacks factual detail. As we know beliefs and dogma are dangerous. Nevertheless, the speech is compelling, interesting and provokes thought as it provides an alternative explanation to the official story presented in The Spectacle. Just because someone misidentified the speaker does not necessarily take away or add to its authenticity.

In the audio, the speaker references an alleged Rockefeller Foundation document from 2010 that detailed a simulated global outbreak, the required steps involved, the various phases required, the overall timeline and its expected outcomes.

In 2010 in a document entitled, “Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development” the Rockefeller Foundation and the Global Business Network released a strategy toolkit based on various proposed, hypothetical scenarios that could affect the world. It is not known to BW whether this document is actually a Rockefeller Foundation document.

A scenario called “Lockstep” discussed a global pandemic affecting millions that required “the mandatory wearing of face masks to body-temperature checks at the entries to communal spaces like train stations and supermarkets.” Lockstep describes “A world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback.” 

The scenario said it would occur in 2012 and the new influenza strain originated from wild geese. It states, “Even the most pandemic-prepared nations were quickly overwhelmed when the virus streaked around the world, infecting nearly 20 percent of the global population and killing 8 million in just seven months, the majority of them healthy young adults. The pandemic also had a deadly effect on economies: international mobility of both people and goods screeched to a halt, debilitating industries like tourism and breaking global supply chains. Even locally, normally bustling shops and office buildings sat empty for months, devoid of both employees and customers.“ Thereafter, a highly government controlled world results in which citizens willingly give up “some of their sovereignty — and their privacy — to more paternalistic states in exchange for greater safety and stability.” Subsequently, the extreme presence of government authority inhibited entrepreneurial activity and the majority of citizens grow tired and pushback against it. The scenario does not predict any end result other that conflict between people and governments.

However, overlooked by conspiracy buffs posting this audio is the fact that the speech describes a more detailed and distinct scenario than the Rockefeller scenario.

The speaker says a deadly virus was created at a Fort Detrick class 4 lab, which is a US Army Medical Command Installation operated. It is not clear exactly who else created the virus with the US Government but the speaker states that Bill Gates, George Soros and Anthony Faucci and The WHO are among the elites involved in its creation.

The virus was then transported and researched at the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg Canada. While there it was stolen and smuggled out by China and taken to China's only class 4 lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan China. According to the speaker the goal was to create a narrative in which China could be blamed for creating the and releasing it by accident (a planned accident = a plandemic).

The speaker says it was planned that governments would ‘downplay the human-to-human transmission for as long as possible to allow the research strain to spread on a global scale before any country can lockdown/respond to avoid initial infection. Once a country has seed infection in place, lockdown incoming/outgoing travel but keep the transmission within the country spreading for as long as possible. Once enough people in a country/region are infected, enact forced quarantines/isolation for that area and expand the lockdown regions slowly over time. Over-hype the mortality rate by tying the research strain to deaths that have little to nothing to do with the actual virus to keep the fear and compliance at a maximum (if anyone dies for ANY reason and is found they have COVID consider it a COVID death & if anyone is thought to of MAYBE had symptoms of COVID to assume they have COVID and consider it a COVID death).’

He explains that the purpose of government stay in place and quarantine orders is to cause unrest and weaken the populations immune system.

The speaker states people’s immune system will weaken due to lack of interaction with other people. Governments and media will downplay and attack any potential "treatments and continue to echo that only a "cure" is viable to fight this virus (aka a vaccine). They will continue to drag out the quarantine over and over and over again in intervals causing more and more people to eventually stand up and protest or defy them. Eventually end the phase 1 quarantine once they get enough public push-back (June 2020), and publicly state that they still think it's "too early" to end the isolation but are going to do it anyways. Due to the isolation people will be susceptible to the virus and spread when quarantines are lifted or defied. Also, to "pad" the mortality rate and hype the upcoming phase 2 lockdown people will die from standard illnesses at a higher rate than normal due to having highly weakened immune systems - but such deaths will be attributed to the virus.

Eventually enact phase 2 quarantines (~Oct-Nov 2020) on a even more extreme level and blame the protesters (mostly people who don't trust their government already for the cause of the "larger" 2nd wave (He says ‘we told you so, it was too early, this is all your fault cause you needed a hair cut, your freedoms have consequences...).’

-Enforce the phase 2 quarantine at a much more extreme level, increasing the penalty for defiance (replace fines with jail time).deem ALL travel as non-essential, increase checkpoints (including military assistance), increase tracking/tracing of the population (mandatory apps), take over control of food/gas (large scale shortages) so that people can only get access to essential products/services if they are FIRST given permission.anyone who defy's them appear as public enemy #1 to those who are willing to submit.

-Keep the phase 2 lockdown in place for a much longer period of time than the phase 1 lockdown, continuing to destroy the global economy, further degrade the supply chain, and further amplify the food shortages, and alike.

-Quell any public outrage using extreme actions/force and make anyone who defy's them appear as public enemy #1 to those who are willing to submit

After a rather long phase 2 lockdown (6+ months), roll-out the vaccination program + vaccine certification and make it mandatory for everyone (giving priority access to those that submitted from the start), and have those that are for it attack those that are against it saying they are a threat and the cause of all the problems (we can't go back to normal until EVERYONE takes the vaccine... people defying them are hurting our way of life and therefore are the enemy).

-If the majority of people go along with the agenda then let those people enter the new system (new normal) while limiting the minority that defy the agenda's ability to work/travel/live.

-If the majority of people go against the agenda then release the weaponized SARS/HIV/MERS tribrid strain as phase 3, a virus with a 30%+ mortality rate as a final scare to push the minority to quickly become the majority and give a final "we told you so" to those that didn't listen.

Enact the new economy model which is based on human behavior and willingness to submit to government authority using food/water/shelter and other essentials as a weapon of enforcement of the new economic system. Basically do what the government wants and get rewarded (gain credits/score and gain more access to things you need to survive) or go against what the government wants and get penalized (lose credits/score and lose access to things you need to survive).

Politico states, “A new tremor is threatening to shake minority communities as protests over racial injustice sweep the country: A wave of evictions as a federal moratorium on kicking people out of their rental units expires.

The ban on evictions — which applies to rentals that are backed by the government — expires in a matter of weeks. On top of that, the federal boost to unemployment benefits that many laid-off workers have used to pay their rent is set to end July 31.

Black and Latino people are twice as likely to rent as white people, so they would be most endangered if the protection from removal is ended. [In fact, 74 % of white households live in homes they own, only about 44% of black households and 49% of Latino households do, according to census data [see further down in this article]. Therefore, Blacks & Latinos are also most likely to rent from white owners - the folks planning to cause the mass eviction-white folks]. But there’s no relief in sight from Congress, with Republicans and Democrats not even expected to begin negotiating a new economic relief package until after the July Fourth holiday.

“How many people are going to be homeless?” Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) asked Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson at a hearing Tuesday at the Senate Banking Committee, his voice rising. “How many people are going to lose their homes, and what are you as an administration going to do about it?”

Carson did not provide an estimate of how many people stand to be evicted when the moratorium ends on July 24. A HUD spokesman said the agency “does not have these numbers available.”

The moratorium covers evictions, not rent payments, and nearly 26 million people will have trouble coming up with the rent by September amid the economic crisis caused by the pandemic, according to Zach Neumann of the COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project. Forty-four percent of black tenants said they have little or no confidence they would be able to meet their next rent payment, according to the latest snapshot from the census, conducted the last week of May. That and rising black unemployment could make for a combustible mix on the streets. The May 25 killing of George Floyd, a black man, at the hands of cops has sparked protests in cities around the country. Mass evictions this summer would almost surely fuel additional unrest.

“Think about it: People are still unemployed. If they’re being evicted, they’re going to be out in the streets anyway,” said Lisa Rice, president and CEO of the National Fair Housing Alliance. “If what you want is to get people back to work and not have people out in the streets protesting, then maybe you don’t want to kick them out of their houses.”

“Wall Street has bounced back, the stock markets are doing fine, rich folks are becoming more wealthy — the Jeff Bezos’s of the world are getting richer — and we’re getting evicted. It’s just a recipe for disaster,” she added.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told housing advocates on a call last week that the furor over Floyd’s death had brought new urgency to discussions of the racial disparities endemic in American life.

“One knee to the neck just explode[d] a tinderbox of other injustices that we must address, and one of them is housing,” Pelosi said. “Housing security is a matter of justice, as structural racism puts communities of color unfairly at risk of being rent-burdened or homeless.”

The congressionally mandated eviction plan applies to tenants in buildings with federally backed mortgages — covering just over 12 million of the nearly 44 million rental units in the country. Others may be covered by a patchwork of state and local moratoriums, but those are also starting to expire. Twelve states ended eviction protections in May, and the 8.2 million renters in New York will see their protections start to lapse on Aug. 20.

That gives a large advantage to white people: While about 74 percent of white households live in homes they own, only about 44 percent of black households and 49 percent of Latino households do, according to census data.

Black and Latino households also pay a higher share of their income on rent in most major metropolitan areas, according to a Zillow analysis.

although shelter in place orders may be necessary they are nevertheless Government seizures of people’s livelihoods and businesses that have forced indefinite closures and widespread layoffs. Within the meaning of the 5th Amendment the government’s actions are “uncompensated takings” that violate the so-called “Takings Clause.” That is, the government is legally obligated to properly compensate citizens for their tangible losses - and this does not mean some bullshit $1200 check. [MORE]

Housing advocates warn that landlords around the country are already preparing eviction proceedings to file the moment they’re allowed to proceed, even as more than 20 million Americans — including more than 1 in 6 black workers — remain out of work.

“Unless Congress intervenes soon, the coming tsunami of evictions and homelessness will disproportionately harm black and brown people,” said Diane Yentel, president and CEO of the National Low Income Housing Coalition.

About 40 percent of homeless people in the U.S. and over half of homeless families with children are black, even though just 13 percent of the population is black.

Rice said Floyd’s death was “just the straw that broke the camel’s back,” and that decades of redlining — the government practice of blocking off black neighborhoods on official maps to discourage mortgage lending — was one of the main underlying contributors to the current unrest. [MORE]

“We’re the black sheep put in the corner. The city, the government, they have forgotten us.” The NYT reports “One of the worst health crises in a century has exploded across New York City, and it has inflicted the worst toll on the Bronx, the city’s poorest borough.

It has spread building by building in neighborhoods like Morris Heights that have been unable to fight back, reflecting a legacy of institutionalized racism, poverty, cramped housing and chronic health problems that have put their residents at higher risk of getting sick and dying.

The Bronx has the highest rates of coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths in the city, while the most well-off borough, Manhattan, has the lowest rates.

In just months, the coronavirus has threatened to wipe out more than a decade of efforts to rebuild the Bronx with new development and businesses and has made life even more precarious for those already struggling to survive, including low-paid essential workers without health insurance, paid sick time or unions to back them.

The economic fallout has shuttered stores, restaurants and businesses across the borough and left thousands out of work, struggling to pay rent and buy food. As in the other boroughs, unemployment claims have surged in the Bronx — by mid-May they had skyrocketed 2,000 percent from a year ago. One Bronx economic development official warned that up to half the borough’s restaurants may never reopen.

The crisis has stirred frustration and resentment among Bronx residents angered that, once again, they are the ones paying the highest price. The Bronx has long struggled to attract attention and resources. During the economic boom of the past decade, it lagged behind the rest of the city in many indicators, including poverty and unemployment.

“This will happen again. This is not the last pandemic,” said Ruben Diaz Jr., the Bronx borough president, who counts at least three deaths in his own apartment complex in the Soundview neighborhood. “How do we remedy institutionalized neglect in communities like the Bronx so in the future we have a fighting chance?”

The coronavirus has been particularly deadly in the Bronx because race and income are key factors in who survives and who does not. At least 4,400 confirmed and probable Covid-19 deaths in the Bronx have been reported as of May 26.

Across the city, neighborhoods with large numbers of black, Latino or poor residents have the highest death rates. In the Bronx, about 90 percent of the borough’s 1.4 million residents are people of color, the highest concentration in the city, according to census data.

Many public health experts and Bronx officials say more should have been done to protect vulnerable communities. City and state leaders, they say, should have aggressively conducted testing to slow the spread of the virus, deployed more services and resources and focused on overlooked front-line workers who have kept stores open and the city running.

“We as a state and as a city could have done better,” said State Assemblyman Victor M. Pichardo, whose parents were both sickened by the virus. “We’re sort of picking up the pieces now.”

Mr. Pichardo said it was not until May — two months after the pandemic shut down the city — that he received more than 4,000 masks from the mayor’s office, and 300 bottles of hand sanitizer from the governor’s office, for his district, which includes Morris Heights.

Adults in the Bronx have the highest rates in the city of asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure, all of which can lead to severe complications for people who are infected with the coronavirus. Roughly one in three Bronx adults is obese — another factor that can make the virus worse — and lack of ready access to healthy foods makes it difficult for people to change their diets.

Of those Bronx residents who died from Covid-19, 90 percent had at least one such underlying condition.

The Bronx ranked last among New York State’s 62 counties in an annual survey of health indicators. And life expectancy in the Bronx is about five years lower than in Manhattan.

“What Covid-19 really shines a very harsh light on are the historical inequities in socioeconomic status and structural racism that are really driving disparities in health outcomes,” said Nadia S. Islam, an associate professor of population health at New York University’s Grossman School of Medicine.

The city’s northern borough once drew well-to-do families to its stretches of parkland and Art Deco apartment buildings. But in the 1970s, arson fires, rampant crime and poverty drove out residents, and turned the borough into a national symbol of urban decay.

Today, the Bronx is home to the nation’s poorest congressional district. Median household income is $38,000, compared with $82,000 in Manhattan and about $61,000 citywide.

For Margarita Brown, 48, a pharmacist technician, getting ready for work is “like preparing for war.” She puts on a mask and gloves before getting into elevators “packed like sardines.” She has to go around crowds in the lobby before riding a bus to a pharmacy on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

“Then you get to your job, but you’re not being appreciated,” said Ms. Brown, who has no health insurance. “It’s so stressful.” [MORE]

Are Shut-Down Orders "a Taking" of Your Labor in Violation of the "Takings Clause" for which the State Must Pay Just Compensation? The Answer is Yes if You Believe Constitutional Rights Actually Exist

From [HERE] Governors across the country have issued executive orders mandating the closure of businesses they deem non-essential in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Slowing the spread of COVID-19, in turn, benefits all the state’s residents. Thus, the owner of the closed business is made to sacrifice the use of his or her property for the good of the general public. Has the state thereby effected a taking under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments for which it must compensate the business owner?

There are good arguments for getting to yes. Because the orders would be characterized to effect an alleged regulatory (rather than physical) taking, a fact-intensive, multi-factor analysis applies. While public health and safety justifications would be given substantial weight by the courts, the unprecedented nature of the crisis and sweeping closure orders leave room to develop arguments that the orders effect a taking by barring a select group of property owners from using their property for the good of everyone in the state.

The Takings Clause

The Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause, made applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment, states: “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” “The Takings Clause is designed to bar Government from forcing some people alone to bear public burdens which, in all fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a whole.” Ark. Game & Fish Comm’n v. United States, 568 U.S. 23, 31 (2012) (internal quotation marks omitted).

Framework For Analyzing Regulatory Takings

The U.S. Supreme Court has long recognized that a taking may be effected not only by the government’s physical occupation or appropriation of private property, but also by regulation that “‘goes too far.'” Tahoe-Sierra Pres. Council v. Tahoe Reg’l Planning Agency, 535 U.S. 302, 326 (2002) (quoting Justice Holmes’ opinion in Penn. Coal Co. v. Mahon, 260 U.S. 393, 415 (1922)). Since the COVID-19 shut-down orders do not involve the states in physically occupying or appropriating property, the question of whether the orders effect a taking is analyzed under the Court’s regulatory takings jurisprudence.

Regulatory takings, in turn, come in two varieties. First, there are categorical takings such as “where regulation denies all economically beneficial or productive use of land.” Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, 505 U.S. 1003, 1015 (1992). The Court has cautioned that this kind of regulatory taking is likely to be “rare,” id. at 1018, because it requires a complete and permanent elimination of value. See also Tahoe Sierra Pres. Council, 535 U.S. at 332 (“Lucas was carved out for the ‘extraordinary case’ in which a regulation permanently deprives property of all value.”). Enactments that fall outside this limited category are analyzed under the fact-specific standard established in Penn Central Transp. Co. v. City of New York, 438 U.S. 104 (1978), a case that arose from New York City’s denial of a permit to build an office tower above Grand Central Terminal based on the train station’s designation as a historic landmark.

While there is no “‘set formula’ for evaluating regulatory takings claims,” Penn Central is understood to have identified “several factors that have particular significance,” namely “‘the economic impact of the regulation on the claimant;'” “‘the extent to which the regulation has interfered with distinct investment-backed expectations;'” and “the ‘character of the governmental action–for instance whether it amounts to a physical invasion or instead merely affects property interests through ‘some public program adjusting the benefits and burdens of economic life to promote the common good.'” Lingle v. Chevron U.S.A. Inc., 544 U.S. 528, 538-39 (2005) (quoting Penn Central, additional internal quotations omitted). (Applying this analysis the Penn Central Court rejected the plaintiffs’ contention that a taking resulted from application of the New York City landmarks law to forbid the building of the office tower, see 438 U.S. at 138.).

Business owners shut down by COVID-19 closure orders will have strong arguments on the first two Penn Central factors, given the severe economic impact and lack of foreseeability of the global pandemic. Courts, however, can be expected to give significant weight to the public health and safety justifications for the closure orders in examining the character of the government’s action (third factor), potentially tilting the Penn Central analysis in the government’s favor. See, e.g., Nat’l Amusements, Inc. v. Borough of Palmyra, 716 F.3d 57, 63 (3d Cir. 2013) (no taking in temporary closure of flea market to allow for identification of unexploded munitions under parking lot due to safety threat of munitions); Rose Acre Farms, Inc. v. United States, 559 F.3d 1260, 1283 (Fed. Cir. 2009) (no taking in USDA regulation barring sale of eggs from salmonella-infected chickens that prohibited plaintiff from selling eggs from certain facilities for 25 months even if chickens were not infected; “potential for physical harm to the public is significant,” as “infected eggs could have caused serious illness and possibly even death”); Brakke v. Iowa Dep’t of Natural Resources, 897 N.W.2d 522 , 526, 550 (Iowa 2017) (no taking in emergency state agency order mandating quarantine of hunting preserve “for five years after whitetail deer harvested on the property tested positive for chronic wasting disease;” although order rendered land unusable as hunting preserve, purpose of order was “to protect wildlife in Iowa from a potentially contagious disease”).

Nonetheless, the court’s objective in weighing the Penn Central factors is to determine whether “it is unfair to force the property owner to bear the cost of the regulatory action.” Rose Acre Farms, Inc. v. United States, 559 F.3d at 1282. The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 crisis and breadth of the individual closure orders leave room for novel arguments. Should the states’ differential treatment of businesses deemed essential versus non-essential be a factor in the analysis? Should public health missteps that arguably gave rise to the need for sweeping action–such as a lack of testing and initial advice against wearing masks–be a factor? Can the court look behind the public health and safety justification to ask whether similar safety effects could have been achieved through a more narrowly tailored order that would have been less devastating to the property owner? Does the absence of traditional scientific evidence underlying the closure orders diminish the public health justification? We should hope that any court hearing a COVID-19 takings claim takes to heart the Supreme Court’s repeated reminders that the analysis requires “essentially ad hoc, factual inquiries” that are “designed to allow careful examination and weighing of all the relevant circumstances.” Tahoe-Sierra Pres. Council, 535 U.S.at 322 (internal quotation marks omitted). [MORE]

A lawsuit filed recently to challenge shelter in place orders in Pennsylvania explained that although such orders may be necessary they are nevertheless Government seizures of people’s livelihoods and businesses that have forced indefinite closures and widespread layoffs. The suit correctly described the government’s actions as “uncompensated takings” that violate the Takings Clause of the 5th Amendment. That is, the government is legally obligated to properly compensate citizens for their tangible losses - and this does not mean some bullshit $1200 check. The suit says:

Phone Location Data Reveals that Elite Whites in the Richest Neighborhoods Exited NYC as the Coronavirus Hit [to Increase “Socialist Distancing" Disparities & Accelerate “Genthanasia"]

From [NYT] Hundreds of thousands of New York City residents, in particular those from the city’s wealthiest neighborhoods, left as the coronavirus pandemic hit, an analysis of multiple sources of aggregated smartphone location data has found.

Roughly 5 percent of residents — or about 420,000 people — left the city between March 1 and May 1. In the city’s very wealthiest blocks, in neighborhoods like the Upper East Side, the West Village, SoHo and Brooklyn Heights, residential population decreased by 40 percent or more, while the rest of the city saw comparably modest changes.

Some of these areas are typically home to lots of students, many of whom left as colleges and universities closed; other residents might have left to care for friends or family members across the country. But, on average, income is a strong simple predictor of a neighborhood’s change: The higher-earning a neighborhood is, the more likely it is to have emptied out.

Relatively few residents from blocks with median household incomes of about $90,000 or less (in the 80th percentile or lower) left New York. This migration out of the city began in mid-March, and accelerated in the days after March 15, when Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that he was closing the city’s schools.

The highest-earning neighborhoods emptied first. [MORE]

According to undeceiver Ishmael Reed:

genthanasia - the non-violent weeding out of undesirables or the slow motion extermination of non-white people. “Genthanasia takes the form of placing an embargo on supplies that were promised to Puerto Rico, leading to 4,000 deaths. Poisoning of water in Flint, like creating smallpox epidemics among Indian tribes. Predictably, the bureaucratic rogues who were responsible for lead poisoning have had their convictions overturned by a friendly Colonial court. Genthanasia includes slavery with a different name, like private prisons where inmates are forced to work or starve. Where the deaths of prisoners are withheld from the public. The withholding of adequate housing, leading to disease-ridden street living noted in the headlines of USNews (23 April 2019), The Homeless Are Dying in Record Numbers on the Streets of Los Angeles. The assigning of Black and Latinx children to the service industries and placing a freeze upon their opportunity to advance by criminalizing pre-school and grade school students and applying suspensions to black and brown students in a disproportionate manner. One could add the administration’s denial of global warming, which is leading to thousands of deaths in the global south, nations that did not cause the problem. The U.S. is the Biggest Carbon Polluter in History.2 The Department of Health and Human Services reports that blacks, browns and reds bear the brunt of health hazards from living in toxic neighborhoods. Under the heading, More likely to live near polluting industries and breathe polluted air, African-Americans are three times as likely to die from asthma-related causes than white Americans. What else is this but another example of slow-motion extermination? Such actions against blacks, browns and reds indicate that the thinkers, hidden from the public and who finance pundits and publications, will go to any lengths to fulfill the desire of the founders and the Pilgrims, to create a white land ordained by God.”

According to the Institute for Policy Studies America’s Billionaires Increased their Wealth by 12.5% During the COVID Lockdown

From [MintPress] America’s billionaires have seen their wealth increase by 12.5 percent during the COVID-19 lockdown period. The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, released a study Thursday showing that, in the eight weeks between March 18 and May 14, the country’s super wealthy have added a further $368.8 billion to their already enormous fortunes. 

Among the more famous big winners during the pandemic include Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, who adds $21 billion to his net worth (a 38 percent increase). Failed Democratic presidential contender Michael Bloomberg is up $10 billion as well, meaning he has recouped ten times as much as he lost in his big money political campaign that went nowhere. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has increased his fortune by around $6 billion as well. 

All this comes at the same time that the economy has undeniably imploded for working people. A record 36 million Americans have filed for unemployment insurance, with millions more losing their employer-based healthcare plans, and around a third of the country not paying its rent. Schools, factories, offices, and other businesses remain shuttered. The Trump administration has promised to provide $1,200 to every citizen, but it will be months before everyone receives their check. As a result, there has been an explosion in the use of food banks, as desperate citizens line up for hours in the hopes of receiving a box of food. 

The study, based on figures from Forbes’ annual global billionaire survey, found that Amazon CEO and world’s richest individual Jeff Bezos was the biggest winner during the period of crisis, adding a massive $30 billion to his wealth. If he continues at the current rate, Bezos will become the world’s first trillionaire by 2026, with other oligarchs not far behind. This is possible primarily because of the hyper-exploitation of his workforce; Amazon warehouse employees are infamously forced into wearing adult diapers or peeing in bottles, unable to take bathroom breaks. The company’s own data shows that one-third of its Arizona employees depend upon food stamps to make ends meet. In Pennsylvania, it is the state’s nineteenth largest employer but fifth most common for those receiving SNAP benefits. Bezos’ workers have been organizing amid a pandemic that puts their lives at risk, but instead of providing them with living wages and proper protective equipment, he has given his employees at Whole Foods supermarkets with new uniforms proclaiming that they are heroes. 

“When billionaires like Jeff Bezos see their wealth surge by tens of billions, as they command their underpaid, vulnerable and unprotected workers into the viral line of fire, we should rise up to demand accountability,” Chuck Collins, Director of the Program on Inequality for the IPS told MintPress News, noting that Bezos is on track to amass “a level of concentrated wealth and power that even the greatest kings and oligarchs could never have imagined.” [MORE]

From [HERE] As of Monday, 636 inmates at FMC Fort Worth had contracted the coronavirus, according to Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley. That’s about 43% of the inmate population at the federal prison. [MORE]

New white tents constructed on FMC Fort Worth’s campus were visible from NBC 5’s Texas Sky Ranger. Those are medical tents. TV video is [HERE]

The Star Telegram explains, “The prison has added two units and a “Tent City” since the pandemic began. Inmates said they watched with anxiety as the tents went up on the tennis courts, unsure what they were. Watts said the prison plans to have 10 tents to house recovering inmates and three medical tents for those who are seriously ill. 

As of Friday, about 90 recovering inmates were moved into the tent city, Watts said.

“What they’re telling us is that no matter what, we’re going to catch it,” said Raymond Carmona, a 41-year-old inmate with coronavirus. “It’s consuming the whole compound.

Racist Suspect Authorities in Illinois Have Tested Fewer than 2% of its Majority Black Prison Population for COVID-19

GRAPH IS FROM THE PRISON POLICY INITIATIVE

From [HERE] Illinois has tested fewer than 2% of inmates for COVID-19.

Thousands have been quarantined across multiple facilities because of potential exposure and 11 have died, according to information released by the Illinois Department of Corrections.

This low level of testing has raised alarm among advocates and lawmakers.

They say it makes it difficult, if not impossible, to understand the true picture of the outbreak in Illinois prisons and respond to it appropriately. That includes taking steps to contain the outbreak and limit its spread into the communities where prisons are located, which are oftentimes rural and may have limited hospital capacity.

About 186 inmates and 160 staff members had tested positive for COVID-19 according as of Friday, according to IDOC’s website. Of those individuals, the vast majority have recovered: 119 staff and 146 inmates.

Illinois has not been mass testing at prisons, even when outbreaks are identified among some staff and inmates.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a racist suspect, said that “the more testing we have available to us, the more we will be testing in all of those congregate settings.”

“But remember, we also have nursing homes, we also have these developmentally disabled homes and so many other areas that also need testing. So again, it takes a lot more testing than we have today,” he said during his televised press conference Monday. [MORE]

"$camdemics:" Turning COVID Fear & the Culture of Obedience to Its Advantage, Police Nationwide Use Drones to Surveil the Public

“TYRANT NANNY.” UNDECEIVER JEREMY LOCKE TALKS ABOUT THE PROCESS OF TYRANNY. Robert HIGGS explains, “directing fear in a society is tantamount to controlling that society.” Larken rose states, “almost all oppression via propaganda is based upon scaring people, and then presenting a false choice where the people can choose either to do what you want them to do, or face some unknown (often purely fictional) horror.” LYSANDER SPOONER EXPLAINS THAT ALL GOVERNMENTS RULE THROUGH AND CREATE LAWS THROUGH SOME FORM OF “EMERGENCY” OR CONSPIRACY.

MassPrivatel observes “All across the country, law enforcement is using the pandemic as an excuse to use Chinese-made drones to monitor the public. Which breaks EVERY promise law enforcement has ever made regarding the use of drones. (More on that later.)

A recent Miami Herald article revealed how police are using Chinese-made DJI drones to monitor the homeless and check a person's temperature.

"Last month, police departments in Daytona Beach and Connecticut unveiled what was initially touted as a potential new tool against a pandemic: drones capable of taking a person’s temperature from 300 feet in the air."

The article, written by Charles Rabin, said that both agencies stopped using thermal imaging drones after civil liberty groups warned that police drones have essentially become “Big Doctor” in the sky.

Drones to reduce Daytona officers contact with citizens and detect fevers to keep officers safe

Monitoring a person's health is protected under federal law thus posing the question,  "Are drone readings, even with sophisticated infrared sensors, a trustworthy way to protect public health without violating individual rights?"

But none of that matters to American law enforcement.

In Florida, the Daytona Police Department has found a way to justify using drones to check a person's health.

"But after public backlash, Westport police killed the plan before it was activated. And police in Daytona Beach clarified that the technology hasn’t been used to seek out random fevers in public spaces. Daytona Beach Police spokesman Messod Bendayon conceded the drone had been used but not to search public spaces for random fevers."

The Daytona Police Departments' justification for using drones is intentionally misleading. Either police are using thermal imaging drones on the public or they are not. Their is no middle ground when it comes to using drones to invade the public's privacy.

An article in the Daytona Beach Journal revealed just how misleading the Daytona Police Department has been about using drones to monitor the marginalized.

"When the homeless do gather in groups, the police department’s drones have swooped in to ask them to disperse, Buck James, executive director of Halifax Urban Ministries said. 

A comment made by Tom Sherick, who’s been homeless in Daytona Beach on and off for six years, was a little more revealing. “Sometimes people driving by will see you and give you food, but the cops try to shut it down,” Sherick said. 

Ask yourself, could the police also be using drones to monitor motorists who stop to feed the homeless?

According to a recent article in The Appeal, the Miami Police Department has arrested 30 percent of the homeless population for not practicing social distancing and breaking curfew.

"On March 27, Miami area officers arrested two homeless men for unlawfully using a dairy crate—a Florida law that effectively allows police to arrest homeless people for sitting. "

In the seven weeks since Miami-Dade County issued their stay-at-home order, the police have arrested 3,526 homeless people.

The COVID-19 excuse to target the homeless and invade our privacy appears to be in full swing as police use drones to warn people to social distance. [MORE]

Rights are myths—obedience to servitude or jail is the reality. From [HERE] Last week, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear signed an executive order that prohibits Kentuckians from crossing state lines, save for a limited number of exceptions, including employment, trips for necessary supplies or to seek medical care.

While the Democrat and neighboring Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, a Republican, have been lauded by political allies and opponents alike for their decisive action in response to the Covid-19 outbreak, the interstate travel ban marked a decisive shift in tactics.

More than the reiteration of guidelines for social distancing or closure of nonessential businesses, Beshear’s executive order subjects violators to possible criminal prosecution, and also requires residents currently located in another state to submit to a 14-day quarantine upon their return to the Bluegrass State.

Civil litigation followed on the heels of Beshear’s order. Kentucky resident Allison S. Alessandro – located immediately across the Ohio River from Cincinnati in Campbell County, Kentucky — sued the governor and Secretary of State Daniel Cameron three days later.

Alessandro argues the order violates her 14th Amendment rights and has prevented her from traveling to Ohio to visit friends and family, and has also deprived her of the use of Hamilton County, Ohio’s public parks.

Attorney Brian O’Connor, with the Cincinnati-based firm Santen & Hughes, denied a request to interview his client but gave his thoughts about the suit via email.

“I think our papers clearly show that the travel ban is unconstitutional,” O’Connor said, “and I’m confident the federal court will agree. Given the current state of affairs in our country, I sadly expect that we’re going to see a wave of constitutional cases like this across the country.”

The attorney continued, “Just this morning, I read a story in the Washington Post about police in New Jersey forcibly stopping an orthodox rabbi’s funeral and arresting people at the religious service.”

O’Connor said elected officials are continuing “to test the boundary between their authority and individual rights” during the coronavirus pandemic.

“And I feel strongly that constitutional lawyers like my partner Lou Sirkin and me have a duty to hold them accountable when they overstep,” he said.

O’Connor’s prediction of lawsuits stemming from travel bans seems well-founded, as Courthouse News has already reported on several similar cases across the country.

In Greensboro, North Carolina, a group of anti-abortion advocates who routinely stand and pray outside an abortion clinic filed a federal lawsuit against Mayor Nancy Vaughan and the Greensboro Police Department after several protesters were arrested and cited for violating a stay-at-home order.

Four Mocksville, North Carolina, residents claim the city continues to violate their First Amendment rights by refusing to allow them to congregate outside the clinic, even though the Greensboro order includes an exception for outdoor activities that comply with social distancing guidelines.

FUNKTIONARY makes it plain:

"rights" - useful fictions declared in order to make agents of another type of fiction ("government") have to play along in their deadly theatrical (tragicomedy) game. 2) mere fictions, the contemplation of which leads only to a progressive social, personal, racial and jurisprudential separation from reality. Discussion and debates about "rights" merely evades the FAQ, i.e., the frequently avoided question of who is to enforce any "right" and who will benefit from the pretense. [MORE]

rights - fantasmatic or fictitious objects having no reality in actuality by those imagining as an identity being in possession of them. Rights are cultural gratuities perceived through various fantasy frames, recognized, and sometimes even created, by man's system of law to provide a modicum or pretense of civility under a system whereby their very undermining and violation is vouchsafed. Rights are merely rites unless you know how to assert and defend them in order to enjoy them. 2) things people are free to do whether they are able to or not. 3) conditions of existence required by hue-man's nature for their potential survival (primarily against the cartoon that kills, i.e., the wholly unconscionable entity called the "State"). It is a mistaken notion that rights are enjoyed by one at the expense of the many—that is the realm of privilege. Enjoyment of rights in a neo-imperialistic world controlled by Yurugu through the Greater System (Symbolic Order), paradoxically, entails not only a recognition of their inevitability but, equally, their impossibility. How can we be endowed with rights, or even know what rights are when they are based on binary considerations? Rights, as ontological ephemera, cannot be universally observed, recognized, realized or, enforced—and paradoxically, act also as its own eternal source for its assertion and vessel for its fulfillment in our imaginary enjoyment of them. While the law reads rights referentially, what is universally needed in the praxis of rights discourse today is a particular re-inscription, demystification or reontologising of rights (revivified and convivial) by the pan-gendered subject-citizen-decoder—taken symptomatically rather than seriously. Most people rarely experience the cognizance of being property of corporate fictions because as long as you don't violate the rules of society your real status as feudal-property-slave is not involved or revealed. If there is no 'I,' to what and to whom do rights as objects accrue? Those who are confused by suffering (and the subject of same) require a re-onotoligisation of rights through the trajectory of meaning independent of their existence. Rights and even 'lefts' (i.e., what remains after all of our imaginary rights are traced to their inception as figment) for that matter, like good and evil, are human inventions which humans treat as non-human realities. While fantasy frames invent rights, romanticism reinvents them. Enjoy your symptoms and play with your syndrome—the symptom is the solution. Read carefuly the holding in the supreme Court case of U.S. v. Babcock. Rights are myths—obedience to servitude or jail is the reality.
