International Proposals for Warrantless Location Surveillance To Fight COVID-19

***The COVID-19 scare is the tool to achieve the Orwellian nightmare unfold.***

By Katitza Rodriguez and Seth Schoen - 20. May 2020

Time and again, governments have used crises to expand their power, and often their intrusion into citizens’ lives. The COVID-19 pandemic has seen this pattern play out on a huge scale. From deploying drones or ankle monitors to enforce quarantine orders to proposals to use face recognition or thermal imaging cameras for monitoring public spaces, governments around the world have been adopting intrusive measures in their quest to contain the pandemic.

EFF has fought for years against the often secretive governmental use of cell phone location data. Governments have repeatedly sought to obtain this data without a court order, dodged oversight of how they used and accessed it, misleadingly downplayed its sensitivity, and forced mobile operators to retain it.

How will COVID-19 impact Cultural Racketeering?

Since online activity and much shipping leave a trail, these adaptations may make it easier for law enforcement and others to track and catch cultural racketeers.

The COVID-19 pandemic is more than just a health emergency

COVID-19 pandemic is exacting a human and financial toll unprecedented in our lifetimes. Statistics worsen daily, but the virus has taken at least 290,000 lives, with over 4,200,00 confirmed cases reported[1]. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) also fears the cumulative loss of $9 trillion to the global GDP over 2020 and 2021 — in what it calls the “worst economic downturn since the Great Depression[2].”

Our shared world heritage has not been spared. In The Art Newspaper, the Antiquities Coalition’s Chair and Founder Deborah Lehr warned that in the fog of the pandemic, criminals are finding opportunities[3]. Looters are taking advantage of the shutdown to pillage ancient artifacts from archaeological ruins, while art thieves target masterpieces in metropolitan museums. And while the coronavirus has largely shuttered above board dealers, galleries, and auction houses—the international black market stays wide open for business.

How Bill Gates Monopolized Global Health

**Eugenicist Bill Gates covertly also seeks funding to develop DNA altering componnts with which he intends to lace vaccines to change human behaviour.**

By The Corbett Report - 01. May 2020

Who is Bill Gates?

A software developer? A businessman?

A philanthropist? A global health expert?

This question, once merely academic, is becoming a very real question for those who are beginning to realize that Gates’ unimaginable wealth has been used to gain control over every corner of the fields of public health, medical research and vaccine development.

And now that we are presented with the very problem that Gates has been talking about for years, we will soon find that this software developer with no medical training is going to leverage that wealth into control over the fates of billions of people.

Book Review: Eduardo Goncalves | Trophy Hunters Exposed (Inside the Big Game Industry)

By Charlie - 25. May 2020

The Daily Mail has described Eduardo Goncalves, founder of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting (CBTH) as “Britain’s most prominent anti-hunting activist”. Whether they mean that as a compliment is difficult to tell, but it does show just how busy Eduardo has been given that he only set up CBTH two years ago.

Prior to that he was chief-executive of the League Against Cruel Sports of course (which, not that disclaimers are needed, is where I first met him), but Eduardo – it seems – has indeed become one of the most recognisable faces and voices in a movement arrowing in on one of the most cruel, wasteful, and disturbing examples of humanity’s war on wildlife.

- A Letter From Uganda

UGANDA TWA INDIGENOUS ETHNIC MINORITY AFFECTED BY HUNGER AS RESULT OF COVID-19 LOCKDOWN

***Though marginalized and left to starve, the Twa of Uganda still maintain their cultural heritage and their famous songs.***

By fPcN - 23. May 2020

The Twa forest people live in Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Often known as Batwa, as they are called by Bantu speakers, or Pygmies, a derogatory term, they are the most ancient group of humans indigenous to this region of Africa. Until very recently, the Twa were the long-time hunter-gather culture, living sustainably and happy in these forests that are their ancestral home.

But the Twa have experienced extreme social and cultural changes in the past several decades due to the loss of their forests, homes and land through invading aggressive agriculture and inadequately executed international conservation efforts.

As human pressure by outsiders on the forests and deforestation increased, also the Batwa were forced to live outside their forests.

In 1991 the Batwa were formally evicted from their ancestral forests as these became national parks. This was an aggressive pincer movement by the Ugandan government, the World Bank and the European Union, who stand accused of genocide in this case.

UPDATE 22. May 2020: World Bank Is Using COVID-19 to Further Push for Debt Slavery in Africa

PROLOGUE: The first wave went through Africa already in November and December 2019, but was not registered as something peculiar. Now this is the second or maybe even third wave. The worst part are the imposed state measures that ruin the economies and livelihoods - the hunger-games are on and unlike in Europe nature is suffering severely since tourism is totally down and nature protection not keeping up with the onslaught.

Low Covid-19 death toll raises hopes Africa may be spared worst

Continent has limited confirmed virus fatalities but experts warn it is too early to draw conclusions

By David Pilling - 28. April 2020

Since the first African coronavirus case was confirmed on February 14 when a Chinese national was diagnosed in Egypt, the virus has spread to virtually all corners of the continent.

Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder whose charitable foundation is focused on the pandemic, has warned that, if left unchecked in a region of crowded slums and flimsy health systems, the disease could claim a horrifying 10m African lives.

Yet, more than two months on, some are daring to whisper a more hopeful message. Maybe, just maybe, the continent could be spared the worst of the pandemic. “I don’t get it,” said Kennedy Odede, a grassroots organiser who said that of 400 people tested randomly in Nairobi’s huge Kibera slum last week, only three were positive. “For me, it was good news.”

UPDATE 22. May 2020: Pentagon claim of zero civilian deaths in Yemen is divorced from reality

UPDATE 13. April 2020: Saudis are preventing aid from entering Yemen

ALERT UPDATE 08. April 2020: Obviously some test-kits have finally been brought to Yemen and the first case of COVID-19 has been established in eastern Yemen. Another catastrophe in the making.

PROLOQUE: Almost all humanitarian and nature protection work in Yemen is brought to a near stand-still by the onslaught of the British-led and U.S.-financed war machine - targeting mainly civilians - under the banner of Saudi-Arabia and the UAE. These are the same war-crimes as they were committed by British troops - now under official investigation - in Afghanistan. Together with U.S.troops the Brits also continue to violate the sacrosanct World Heritage Site of the Island of Socotra, though the world had demanded that they should leave immediately. Bad Karma from all the civilian deaths seems to haunt now Boris Johnson.

Corona-filled papers ignore Britain’s Yemen invasion

Unreported in British media, British troops have landed in Aden. All that awaits them is the graveyard of imperialist ambitions.

Another air strike in Sanaa on 30. March 2020. Officially led by the Saudis, but many have been British bombs, dropped by British planes that are flown by British-trained pilots and maintained in Saudi Arabia by thousands of British contractors.

By PW - 04. April 2020

Five years into Riyadh’s imperialist-sponsored war against the Yemeni people, a war conducted with the maximum savagery and cowardice, the corrupt feudal sheikhdom of Saudi Arabia is further than ever from achieving any of its goals – or any of the war aims of its imperialist sponsors in the USA and Britain.

The much-loathed and deservedly ousted former president, Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, continues to cool his heels in Riyadh, waiting in vain for his hosts to succeed in bludgeoning his fellow countrymen into having him back.

Meanwhile, the national resistance forces continue to hold their own, whilst the Saudi alliance is increasingly weak and divided – its mercenary forces being consistently hammered in the ground war, and only able to function at all thanks to the brutal air war conducted against the civilian population.

If the war could have been won simply by piling misery upon misery on the long-suffering Yemeni people, Hadi and his sponsors would long ago have prevailed.

UPDATE 22. May 2020: EU Planning “Vaccination Passport” Since 2018

POLOGUE: The Australian government and its mainstream society did proof that they are not even able to prevent and fight devastating forest fires successfully (without the rains the fires still would burn), respect the Aboriginal owners of the continent, handle refugees with dignity, protect the Great Barrier reef and other natural gems or - not at least - free and bring home their most famous journalist and publisher, Julian Assange. Therefore nobody can expect that they manage the COVID-19 situation benevolently and for the benefit of the people. Thus the people must rise up against these machinations. One big problem is that the very body - the United Nations Organization - that is supposed to safeguard our universally guaranteed right to privacy, is striving itself for the global domination slot and is on the very forefront of surveillance of people. With implementing it by runs on helpless refugee communities and camps, UNHCR and UNICEF are the spearheads and worst offenders unleashed by the UN - having paid since years app-developers millions to create the tools, without that the public noticed or taxpayers of the funding governments authorized them to do so. The corralling systems developed by these agencies since many decades hold even more in stock for you, since the populace is only seen as chattel.

George Orwell didn't know how easy it is to coerce modern man into submission in 2020.

Efficacy, ideology and COVIDSafe

Questions remain over measuring the effectiveness of the Australian government’s tracking app, COVIDSafe, along with the mission creep it is sure to entail

By Dr James Parker, University of Melbourne - 11. May 2020

Two weeks ago, governments in Queensland and Western Australia announced that they would start lifting some restrictions on movement and gatherings. Hours after these announcements, COVIDSafe, Australia’s new ‘contact tracing’ app, was released.

It’s hard to imagine that the timing was a coincidence.

Sustainable Investing Is Booming — But Where Is the Impact?

***Use your financial muscle to deliver real change.***

By Florian Heeb (*) - 19. May 2020

The growth of sustainable investing is welcome news to those who believe a more conscious allocation of capital can cure society’s pains. A few years ago, sustainable investments were niche products. Now, almost every retail investing outlet offers a wide range of financial products marketed as sustainable. The increasing desire of investors to contribute to solving the world’s challenges is among the key drivers behind the trend. Accordingly, sellers of a large proportion of sustainable investing products make explicit claims of positive impact.

DOMINICA ON TRACK TO BECOME FIRST “CLIMATE-RESILIENT” NATION BY 2030

Island Nations are specifically endangered by global warming and sea level rise.

By GR - 19. May 2020

Back in September 2017, Hurricane Maria devastated the island of Dominica, killing at least 31 people, wrecking roofs on nine in ten buildings, battering forests, and causing rivers to overspill, destroying even more homes. All of this damage cost the Caribbean island nation roughly $1.3 billion — 224% of its total GDP.

Fast forward to today, and the island is well on the way to recovery, with the cleanup largely over, and a renewed focus on the future emerging. To this end, Dominica’s most impressive ambition is to become the world’s first climate-resilient nation by 2030, which includes implementing hurricane-proofing measures to lessen the impact of any future weather events. This was first proposed by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit in an impassioned speech to the UN General Assembly, just five days after the storm.

Exclusive: UK military and arms companies produce more carbon emissions than 60 individual countries

By Matt Kennard and Mark Curtis - 19 May 2020

The greenhouse gas emissions produced by the UK military and its supply chain are up to 11 times higher than admitted by the Ministry of Defence, which has produced a ‘pattern of flawed reporting’ on its environmental impacts, new research carried out for Declassified UK has found.

The first independent calculation of its kind has found that Britain’s military-industrial sector annually emits more greenhouse gases than 60 individual countries, such as Uganda, which has a population of 45 million people.

PROLOGUE: While the world has been conditioned to just see the genocide in Rwanda as an affair between the ethnicities of the Tutsi and the Hutu people, it is often overlooked that it was the culmination of a proxy war with France, the USA, the UN and still Belgium as well as Uganda and DR Congo being major players. In addition it is completely overlooked that it also was a genocide against the Indigenous Twa people, who are the aboriginal forest people living in peace in Rwanda. Because they were seen as underdogs by the majority of the society in Rwanda, both the Hutu as well as the Tutsi believed they were used as spies by the respective other side - so both slaughtered the Twa in 1994, and until today no real justice has come forward to address this genocide. While the international and regional players, as well as the Tutsi and the Hutu came somehow to terms, the genocide against the Twa continues in Rwanda and Burundi as well as in Uganda and the DRC. The trial of the now nabbed key suspect will hopefully bring the genocide against the Twa to the forefront and also reveal how he could hide in France for so long, while powerful figures in the Kenya government were accused to harbour and shield him in Kenya. Did it take the French 26 years to spin their own narrative afresh to deliver him only now to the Hague?

***Social distancing or social disconnect?***

COVID-views from the perspective of a 26-year-old.

By Brittany E. Pembroke - 14. May 2020

How did we, the Australians, get ‘Covid-19’ so wrong?

The response of the government of Australia to the ‘Covid-19’-crisis seems to be destroying years of ‘post-war freedoms’ and the very essence of what makes our country so great.

I believe Australia has gone too far in an attempt to be a ‘global hero’ and this very action will be to our detriment.

I understand that we needed to renounce some liberties to ‘flatten the curve’ due to this ‘unknown enemy’. But I do fear this has come now at an unbelievable cost to the Australian livelihood, all in an attempt to be abiding global citizen.

Today ‘Covid-19’ is playing out to be more a political issue than a health issue. And this has me thinking about the deeper issues at play.

UPDATE 14. May 2020: Burundi expels the World Health Organization (WHO) from its territory. President orders top WHO official, 3 other virus experts to leave within 24h.

PROLOGUE: U.S. funding [Pentagon (incl. BlackOps), Gates (BMGF), Rockefeller Foundation etc.) is behind all the bio-weapon or bioweapon-'defence' related work the world over - Canada, China, Georgia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Italy and at many, many more locations. THIS MUST STOP - and to achieve that all states need to ban the CDC and related institutions including the WHO from their territory; and - not at least - a fully Independent International Tribunal (on all the issues from HIV to SARS-CoV-2) must now be held with highest priority.

We’ve also never stopped fearing the worst: that genetic engineering of viruses could lead to a global public health disaster.

Emaciated captive bred lions found again at Mr. Slippers facilities in SA

**Mr. Walter Slippers, the irresponsible lion breeder in South Africa, must now be seriously prosecuted and loose for life any right to keep any animal in captivity.**

By BL - 13. May 2020

The National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) in South Africa are in the process of laying animal cruelty charges in terms of the Animal Protection Act (APA), 71 of 1962, against Mr Walter Slippers, owner of two captive predator breeding facilities in Alldays, Limpopo.

During inspections in April and May 2020, the NSPCA found deplorable conditions with underweight lions, lack of adequate shelter, lack of veterinary treatment, as well as unhygienic and small enclosures. Slippers has 72 lions on his farm that is in liquidation and he allegedly feeds them one giraffe every two to three weeks.

Sadly, this is not the first time that evidence of shocking animal neglect and cruelty has emerged from Slippers farms, with images of malnourished lions surfacing in 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2020.

On 12 May 2020, the NSPCA was informed that seven of the lions housed at one of Slippers’ facilities had escaped, which only supports their findings that he is not only negligent in the way these lions are kept from a welfare point of view, but also in terms of public safety.
