sample garbage from 'green' 'progressive' terrorists

this is specially unhinged, enjoy : "As I have pointed out before (here and here), the inevitability of the climate catastrophe we now face was predicted with absolute precision – almost to the week – by scientists working for the fossil fuel industry back in the early 1980s." "inevitability of the climate catastrophe we now face" good!!! - so the surveillance state is finished. "was predicted with absolute precision – almost to the week – by scientists working for the fossil fuel industry" that line is so unhinged...it's almost impossible =) - Is the turd talking about 'scientists' or maybe is he talking about 'god' itself? Climate 'change' was 'predicted' with 'absolute precision' more that 30 years ago? Wow. source : https://consortiumnews.com/2019/10/01/greta-thunberg-the-consolation-of-dou… I once foolishly thought consortiumnews was kinda decent...fuckinly stupid on my part.

US DNA Collection from Children, Asylum, Citizens - Motorola Spy Rampant - WiFi Spy Walls

They warned that United States citizens, who are sometimes accidentally booked into immigration custody, could also be forced to hand over their private genetic information. And unlike the testing under the pilot program, the results would be shared with other law enforcement agencies. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/motorola-company-known-cellphones-fast… The surveillance tools have been installed in schools and public housing, deployed on roads and public transit, and worn by police officers. They've been developed by an array of technology firms competing for government business. And many are now owned by a company seeking to grab a bigger piece of a booming market. Motorola, a brand typically associated with cellphones and police radios, has joined the race among tech firms to deliver new ways of monitoring the public. Since 2017, the Chicago-based tech company -- now known as Motorola Solutions, after Motorola spun off its mobile phone business -- has invested $1.7 billion to support or acquire companies that build police body cameras; train cameras to spot certain faces or behavior; sift through video for suspicious people; and track the movement of cars by their license plates. By consolidating these tools within a single corporation, and potentially combining them into a single product, Motorola Solutions is boosting its stature in the surveillance industry -- and amplifying concerns about the government's growing power to watch people almost anywhere they go. "Your privacy is more protected when information about you is scattered among agencies and entities. When all that is unified under one roof, that sharpens the privacy issues," said Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst for the American Civil Liberties Union, where he researches technology's impact on privacy. "I don't know exactly what kind of synergies a company like Motorola Solutions might get from assembling all these pieces, but in general it's a scary prospect."

Un-Civil Unrest in Iraq and it's Intertubz go DOWN
by Razer 03 Oct '19

03 Oct '19

"Network data from the NetBlocks internet observatory show that Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram and other social and messaging apps have been blocked in Iraq by multiple internet providers as of 12:30 UTC, Wednesday 2 October 2019. The restrictions come just as hundreds have been reported wounded as police fire tear gas, bullets at protesters. Technical measurements show that each of the services have been intentionally restricted by leading Iraqi network operators including Earthlink, Asiacell and Zain in a manner consistent with previous incidents of censorship in the country. Findings are based on a set of technical measurements from across the country assessing reachability and network performance. Update: Internet access has been cut across much of Iraq including Baghdad as of 17:00 UTC, following the earlier blocking of social media platforms. NetBlocks diffscan measurements which map the IP space of a country show significant impact across multiple providers. Nationwide connectivity has fallen below 70% and outages continue to spread: Update: As of 19:30 UTC Iraq has gone largely offline amid widening mass-protests, with the situation on the ground unclear due to blackouts. Real-time network data show approximately 75% of the country including Baghdad is now offline, excluding autonomous regions which operate their own networks: Instances of network filtering and outages present a significant challenge to media freedom and the rights to free assembly and free association in Iraq. Why are Iraqis protesting? Demonstrators are out on the streets over unemployment, corruption and poor public services, focused in capital Baghdad but also impacting other cities around Iraq. The protests have escalated after police opened fire in the air as some 3,000 protesters tried to cross a bridge leading into Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone, where government buildings and foreign embassies are based. Is the internet down in Iraq? Yes, largely. Restrictions were initially limited to specific online platforms and at first there was no sign of a wider nationwide internet blackout. However total outages began from 17:00 UTC, and by 19:30 UTC much of Iraq fell offline (see updates, above). Geographic impact covers Iraq’s centrally administered cities including Baghdad, while independent zones such as the Kurdish northern cities are governed under a different system unaffected by the restrictions. Iraq has previously extended social media disruptions to total shutdowns, hence the situation has been considered volatile by the observatory from its onset. On Wednesday afternoon, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger remained partially usable via mobile phones on some of the affected networks for some time. This is due to circumvention measures and alternative messaging protocols built into recent versions of the mobile apps. In such cases service quality and performance of media, photo and video transfers are generally degraded. Background NetBlocks has previously identified the total blocking of internet access as well as partial restrictions affecting social media platforms through recent years. Civil society group SMEX has campaigned for rights-based internet governance in the region." https://netblocks.org/reports/iraq-blocks-facebook-twitter-whatsapp-and-ins… Rr Sent from my Androgyne dee-vice with K-9 Mail

Woman Who Sleeps In $500 EMF-Blocking Sack Wants Area-Wide Wi-Fi Limits
by grarpamp 02 Oct '19

02 Oct '19

https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/09/no-you-dont-need-a-500-sleep-sack-o… So there's a British woman who's been in the news recently for diagnosing herself with a sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation. She sleeps in a $500 EMF-blocking sack and has reportedly stayed in the sack, from time to time, for 30-hour stretches. The woman -- 70-year-old Rosi Gladwell of Totnes, Devon -- helps lead a small advocacy group on the issue of EMF-related health issues, and she even got the mayor of the Spanish village where she now lives to look into ways to limit Wi-Fi access for residents. She fears that the introduction of 5G mobile networks will kill her. Now seems like a good time to remind readers that there is no evidence to support the idea of "electromagnetic hypersensitivity." The World Health Organization calls it "idiopathic environmental intolerance with attribution to electromagnetic fields," or IEI-EMF. Yet when you ask around, you find people who wake up from sleep when a call or SMS comes in... with the phone they fell asleep with set to silent, no vibe, and no lights.
