  • Coming soon: America's own social credit system

    The Hill ^ | BY KRISTIN TATE, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR
    The new domestic “War on Terror,” kicked off by the riot on Jan. 6, has prompted several web giants to unveil predecessors to what effectively could become a soft social credit system by the end of this decade. Relying on an indirect hand from D.C., our social betters in corporate America will attempt to force the most profound changes our society has seen during the internet era. China’s social credit system is a combination of government and business surveillance that gives citizens a “score” that can restrict the ability of individuals to take actions — such as purchasing plane tickets,...

    The Shooters Log ^ | JULY 26, 2021 IN CAMPING & SURVIVAL | BOB CAMPBELL
    The subject of emergency guns, or apocalypse guns to use the vernacular, comes up often. I don’t call the pandemic or an ammo shortage an emergency. My emergencies have been personal, not civil, but just the same, memorable. Folks who have never skinned a deer or used a gambrel have some idea they will live off the land. They may end up dumpster diving. Canines are stringy, so let’s hope the impending doom doesn’t come anytime soon or some of the folks may be eating dog. A popular TV show has generated a little different type of collecting. Several...

    What will be the final straw that brings on the chaos? And when? The signs are pretty strong. Internet attack as Biden predicted? Cryptocurrency crash? Immigration invasion? Government shutdown as debt ceiling is hit again? Iran/Russia attacking Israel? Another severe Covid pandemic? The Audit results being delivered for Arizona/Georgia/Pennsylvania? The inflation caused by the $3.5 Trillion Social Infrastructure bill. (or bankruptcy) A stock market crash? An assassination attempt against Trump? Food shortages from world crop failures? China attacking Taiwan? China shutting off shipments of manufactured goods to USA? Electric grid or internet crash? It appears that the Ides of August...

    It is said the first step to solving a problem is admitting that one exist in the first place. The attacks against the American population and our liberties are so clearly visible that there’s no need to review them all. The time has come for action. Like it or not, we are no longer just bystanders. For this reason, I will attempt to produce a series of articles that offer information, instruction and inspiration – something I feel is lacking to a degree on our side. I also challenge others to do the same. Frankly, to put it nicely, I...

    Soaring food prices aren’t just impacting financially strapped families and the working poor. They’re also affecting the mission of US food banks who are spending a lot more on food than ever before. “We’re already spending a lot more on food than we have in years past,” said Greg Trotter, a spokesman for the Greater Chicago Food Depository, a large food bank, who spoke with VOA News. “Our food purchasing budget has doubled this year.” In the coming weeks and or months, food banks across the country may experience a surge in food demand from millions of folks who are...

    An emergency stockpile can greatly increase your chance of survival if SHTF. But creating a stockpile can easily drain your grocery budget if you’re not careful. Luckily, some of the best foods for stockpiling are extremely cheap, so you can buy them in quantities enough to last you several months. Here are some examples of cheap foods to stockpile: Rice – Rice is a staple food worldwide. It is also a versatile ingredient as it can be paired with various foods or cooked with various ingredients. When stored in an airtight container, rice keeps for six months. Rice is also...

    Retired Green Beret Jeremy Brown tells Brooke and Timbo that the Republic has already fallen, the effects just haven’t gotten to everyone’s doorstep…yet. In a blockbuster, no-holds-barred interview, Jeremy describes how the FBI tried to recruit him to spy on fellow patriots and how the government is actively working against the interests of both America and We the People. Jeremy joined the Oathkeepers–a group of retired military and current and former law enforcement who have not abandoned the Oath they took to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic–after last November’s stolen election.

    National Guardsmen just completed a two-week training exercise which saw them respond to a simulated cyberattack that took out critical utilities across the United States. The exercises have become an annual event, but this year took on even more significance after coming on the heels of several major ransomware and cyber attacks that crippled large parts of American infrastructure in recent months. The exercises were part of the seventh Cyber Yankee, an training event that brings together guardsmen from throughout the New England region to test their responses against simulated cyberattacks. This year’s exercises simulated a cyber attack that targeted...

    Why have thousands upon thousands of very wealthy people suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to buy a home in Montana? At this moment, Montana is one of the hottest real estate markets in the entire country. When a desirable house is put on the market, it can often spark a wild bidding war. Of course the vast majority of the potential buyers involved in these bidding wars do not actually have any roots in Montana at all. Vast hordes of wealthy individuals from Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and other major cities are flooding into the state, and there...

    For several months, many of my articles covered the global shortages and coming shortages facing the worldwide economy. My articles warn of food, chip, fuel, and commodity shortages. I also wrote about inflation, crop failures, and scarcity of any goods that consumers may need or want. Some readers may feel it was a bit like paranoia and overkill at the time. Guess what? MSM now reveals my writings on global shortages are, in fact, accurate Many articles found on MSM corporate outlets report on global shortages. In fact, those articles seem like I could have written them. (Not the general...

    Chinese scientists have been preparing for a Third World War fought with biological and genetic weapons including coronavirus for the last six years, according to a document obtained by US investigators. The bombshell paper, accessed by the US State Department, insists they will be 'the core weapon for victory' in such a conflict, even outlining the perfect conditions to release a bioweapon, and documenting the impact it would have on 'the enemy's medical system'. This latest evidence that Beijing considered the military potential of SARS coronaviruses from as early as 2015 has also raised fresh fears over the cause of...

    DNYUZ ^ | May 8, 2021
    A cyberattack forced the shutdown of one of the largest pipelines in the United States, in what appeared to be a significant attempt to disrupt vulnerable energy infrastructure. The pipeline carries refined gasoline and jet fuel up the East Coast from Texas to New York. The operator of the system, Colonial Pipeline, said in a statement late Friday that it had shut down its 5,500 miles of pipeline, which it says carries 45 percent of the East Coast’s fuel supplies, in an effort to contain the attack on its computer networks. Earlier Friday, there were disruptions along the pipeline, but...

    Hysterical people are scrambling to figure out how to get the vaccine hesitant to capitulate. If you are reluctant to get the COVID vaccine and beginning to feel overrun by forces pressuring you to get vaccinated, you aren’t alone and you aren’t crazy. There’s a reason you feel the way you do. You are being manipulated. We are being bombarded with commercials pushing us to be socially responsible. Medical professionals, celebrities, and folks in our communities admonish us not to shirk our civic duty. Suddenly, the vaccine is the only way to normalcy. Friends and family openly brag about their...

    CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio — A program from the past is coming back to northeast Ohio. The state's Department of Agriculture (OHDOA) is growing its "Victory Gardens" program during the pandemic, and some of those gardens are going in plots at the Canterbury Community Garden. The garden, started in the 1940s, is in the corner of the parking lot at Canterbury Elementary School in Cleveland Heights. "When World War II came about, there was even more of a push for people to grow their own vegetables," said Deb Franke, the garden's co-leader. "And this was created in about 1943 as a...

    The number of container ships stuck at anchor off Los Angeles and Long Beach is down to around 20 per day, from 30 a few months ago. Does this mean the capacity crunch in the trans-Pacific market is finally easing? Absolutely not, warned Nerijus Poskus, vice president of global ocean at freight forwarder Flexport. “It’s not getting better. It’s getting worse,” he told American Shipper in an interview on Monday. “What I’m seeing is unprecedented. We are seeing a tsunami of freight,” he reported. “For the month of May, everything on the trans-Pacific is basically sold out. We had one...

    PITTSBURGH — Planning to hit the road for your summer vacation? Gas stations across the country could run out of gas this summer, but not because of a shortage of crude oil or gasoline. It’s because of a driver shortage for tanker trucks, according to CNN. According to the National Tank Truck Carriers, up to 25% of tank trucks are parked leading up to summer because of a lack of qualified drivers.
