https://reason.com/2020/06/10/we-filmed-the-cops-people-changed-their-minds/ POLICE ABUSE We Filmed the Cops. People Changed Their Minds. Videos of police abuse haven't stopped police brutality. But they've helped build a consensus for police reform. PETER SUDERMAN | 6.10.2020 2:04 PM In the years since the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, sparked a wave of protests against abusive law enforcement, there has been a remarkable shift in public opinion about race and policing. A Washington Post poll released this week found that 69 percent of Americans say Floyd's killing represents a systemic problem with policing, while just 29 percent say it's an isolated incident; six years ago, the Post reports, more than half of Americans saw police killings of unarmed black men as isolated events, with just 43 percent viewing them as part of a wider trend. That shift has produced bipartisan support for activism against police violence. The Post poll found that 74 percent of Americans support recent protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Democrats were more likely to support the protests, but a majority of Republicans and independents backed them too. A Monmouth poll released last week found that 57 percent of Americans, including about half of white Americans, said police officers were generally more likely to treat black people unfairly than to mistreat white people, which The New York Times describes as a "drastic change" in public attitudes about racial disparities in policing. As with nearly all instances of rapid social change, there are many factors at work. The Black Lives Matter movement has tirelessly emphasized racial disparities in law enforcement and made police reform an urgent national priority. Conservative activists have embraced criminal justice reforms that reject tough-on-crime policies. News coverage has become less deferential to police narratives. The political class has, in some instances, distanced itself from law enforcement. Social media has proven a potent tool for activists to organize and get out their message. None of these forces should be discounted. But perhaps the simplest story one can tell is this: We filmed the cops, and people changed their minds. For the last two decades, America has conducted an experiment in mass videography. Virtually everyone in the country now carries a camera in his or her pocket. In addition, our highways, streets, and sidewalks are watched by an array of public and private digital eyes, recording, if not everything, then much of the nation's public interactions—including with the police. In the early days of mass camera adoption, cops resisted public attempts to film them, often attempting to shut down and even destroy videos of their work taken by citizens. It's not hard to understand the resistance. Those ubiquitous cameras—on cellphones, on dashboards, in stores, on police uniforms—have repeatedly given the public deeply disturbing glimpses into how officers of the law do their jobs. They showed us the horrific final moments of George Floyd and Eric Garner, six years apart, as they slowly asphyxiated from the force that police officers exerted on their bodies, each man gasping for breath, crying out for their lives, struggling to form the words, "I can't breathe." They showed us the shots a South Carolina cop fired into Walter Scott's back as he fled on foot after being pulled over for a broken taillight. They showed us the 40 seconds during which Minnesota cafeteria worker Philando Castille was pulled over by a Minneapolis patrolman and then shot to death after disclosing that he was carrying a firearm. They showed us the arrest of Sandra Bland, a Texas woman pulled over for failing to use a turn signal, as an angry cop pointed a weapon at her and screamed, "I will light you up!" (A few days later, she was found in her jail cell, hanged to death.) [end of long partial quote]

Censorship: Joe Biden and Pol's Worldwide Vow To Censor Troll and Sabotage All Social Media

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/11/technology/biden-facebook-misinformation… https://www.motherjones.com/anti-racism-police-protest/2020/06/black-lives-… Blah blah blah. Those who think any politician, political party, government, or media is right, or cares even one bit about you, or that all of them aren't equally backstabbing and channing each other so long as they all crook your neck in the end with their Rods of Power, are utterly retarded. It's about power and control over you, all for them, none for you, and who can concoct the latest TV meme thus mainlining their dope straight to your soppy brain. All your bleating and "voting" for them does is further enshrine them as "master" over you so they can whip your "slave" self some more. That is the underlying essence of "democracy"... the majority masters forcing the harmless minority slaves to do whatever master desires. You were all born free and beautiful, and they captured and forced their memes into you since you were very young. But it's possible to break free. So wake the fuck up and start figuring out how to liberate your brains off their sweet crack. You don't need them, or their chains on you, any of them, at all, ever. There is no such thing as "liberation technology" and no technology can ever be applied toward liberation until you actually start pondering what a state of liberation actually is. Else you're just trying to forcibly slave others to do what you want, or tricking them into joining you for that purpose over others, both of which are wrong. "Freedom of Speech" you claim, but only for what you want to hear, allow, and have said. Shame on you. Internet soon will be totally controlled, InsertBioChipPaySpyAccessed, and messaged by whichever political trolls in power over you around world. Like your brain, you're begging them win control of the Internet too. Oops.

Hi everybody, It is another version of preventing digital filming, already patented by potential "bad actors"! So like other technologies it could be used and more likely misused. https://www.dpreview.com/news/0190365065/apple-patents-system-for-disabling…

Preventing Nonconsensual Surveillance By Others

This is a public article from 2011 on electrojamming surveillance cameras. I've heard people are doing this in the streets now. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6105817 Digital camera sensing and its image disruption with controlled radio-frequency reception/transmission Photography is becoming more and more end user capability, with many people having digital cameras on their mobile phones. In general digital cameras are phasing out traditional film based equipment. The advantages of digital photography include the compactness of the cameras, high reliability and ease of image processing and transmission of the images via the internet or multimedia messaging (MMS) enabling the photographer to send his images within seconds. These processes emphasize a big problem: the ability to photograph an object without the approval of its owner. This unsolved problem has many aspects: the right to privacy, paparazzi, industrial intelligence and the protection of objects having high security sensitivity. This paper describes test methodology and test results to sense and then to disrupt digital imaging camera by using a controlled Radio Frequency (RF) transmission. This method can be used in order to create a system for causing a localized malfunctioning of a digital camera in a specified area to degrade photographic recording done by the digital camera, comprising the steps of coupling the digital camera to a source of electromagnetic interference and generating electromagnetic waves in a specific frequency to interfere with the correct functioning of at least one electronic component of the digital camera.

some Australian aborigine facts and history --[gilmay97@gmail.com: Cairns News]

History is often used for political and impoverished reasons, and facts may help in moving past the clouds of FOG and deception. Trigger warning - here be a bunch of facts, and so the liberal loonies may be triggered. Snowflakes 'ave been warned .. ----- Forwarded message from Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> ----- From: Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> To: reader(a)gmail.com Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2020 19:20:51 +1000 Subject: Cairns News Modern Aborigines migrated to Australia from India 4230 years ago <https://cairnsnews.org/2019/11/10/modern-aborigines-migrated-to-australia-f…> Nov 10 <https://cairnsnews.org/2019/11/10/modern-aborigines-migrated-to-australia-f…> Posted by Editor, cairnsnews <https://cairnsnews.org/author/cairnsnews/> It is time for the Aboriginal industry milking billions($30B) from taxpayers and the baloney myths to give way to fact and science. *by Gil May* The original people of Australia were the giant Java man, then Homo erectus where numerous subspecies continued to exist, the Kow Swamp people whose skeletons were dated 6,500 years ago, their ‘robust’ skeletons have thick brow ridges, sloping foreheads and extremely large teeth unlike modern humans, they were younger than the more modern Mungo people. The Mungo skeletons of a modern type ‘gracile’ people died out 50,000 year before Know Swamp people. Due to the prolonged inland droughts the last of the Pintubis (also called Bindaboos) surrendered their nomadic Stone Age lifestyles in the 1960s, where the extremities of survival in dry arid country became impossible and they surrendered to a missionary area for survival. *DNA tests reveal actor Ernie Dingo has Hindu bloodlines* They were a ‘robust’ people having the thick brow ridges, and thick skulls of the last remnants of Homo erectus still living a primitive stone age life, the final example of unaltered stone age culture in Australia. They were an incredible people who could live under the most unliveable conditions ever encountered by humanity — and very different from modern Aborigines. Their culture, simple at first glance, was incredibly complex as was their intimacy with their surroundings. This identifies an ancient hominin that had evolved in Australia and continued to live a traditional undisturbed life until recent times. Clearly unrelated to modern aborigines. Like the ancient lineage of marsupials and metronomes (egg laying mammals, platypus and echidna) that continued to live onwards in isolated Australia, so too did the world’s last remaining primitive Homo erectus as a transitional species to Homo sapiens. We refer you to the study below of DNA analysis of gene flow by Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. https://www.mpg.de/6818105/Holocene-gene-flow_India-Australia Gene flow from India to Australia about 4,000 years ago Large numbers of Indians migrated to Australia bringing the Dingo with them, as proven by DNA analysis of gene flow by Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. The immigrants came by boat: Australia was settled numerous times during its history. Researcher Irina Pugach and colleagues now analyzed genetic variation from across the genome from aboriginal Australians, New Guineans, island Southeast Asians, and Indians. Their DNA findings prove substantial gene flow from India to Australia 4,230 years ago. i.e. during the Holocene and well before European contact. “Interestingly,” says Pugach, “this date also coincides with many changes in the archaeological record of Australia, which include a sudden change in plant processing and stone tool technologies, with microliths *(fine stone spear tips)* appearing for the first time, and the first appearance of the dingo in the fossil record. Since we detect inflow of genes from India into Australia at around the same time, it is likely that these changes were related to this migration.” Ernie Dingo from Hindu descent Popular Aboriginal TV personality Ernie Dingo, had a DNA test that showed he was from southern Indian Hindu descent The nonsense baloney that has become accepted by governments and many in the population, because they were to uninterested, lazy and did not want to upset the status quo myth put out for very lucrative financial benefits from government and free land title worth millions, could have easily been disproven as original owners and custodians of the land had anyone bothered to read proven research. What an international joke, the federal courts accept without any proof whatsoever of land ownerships history, relying on and accepting people saying their ancestor have been custodians of the land for many thousands of years, some even said over 70,000 years, and legislating these lies and distortions into law. When DNA analysis of gene flow by Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, proves the current so called ‘aborigines’ have only been here 4,230 year or 41 generations of mitochondrial DNA steps. * (very coincidental–this was after the Great Flood.-Ed) * https://cairnsnews.org/2018/10/26/republish-dreamtime-a-cruel-delusion-of-b… This document(above link) should be compulsory reading in every school—it is a very interesting factual perspective of Aboriginal history distortions. According to Alfred Cort Haddon, a turn of the century figure revered today as the ‘founding father’ of British anthropology, the aborigines were clearly “pre-Dravidian” people from South India. In Haddon’s 1909 book, *The Races of Man*, he asserts that Australia was originally inhabited by Papuans, or Negritoes, who wandered on the extreme south of the continent. Later, a pre-Dravidian race migrated to Australia and overran the continent, absorbing the sparse aboriginal population. In the remarkable work, *Cape York – The Savage Frontier*, Queensland author Rodney Liddell asserts, from studying the Jardine diaries, the original Negritoes were hunted down and wiped out by invading aborigines from India. The tip of Cape York was one of the major landings used by the invaders who arrived in either canoes or on rafts. Archaeologists in 1973 decided to look for campsites and other evidence on the Cape, finding fireplaces and middens. Although unreliable, carbon dating of shells and other organic matter was used. To the horror of the investigating academics, the best they could come up with was between 600 and 1,100 years of occupation by the aborigines. It is time for the Aboriginal industry milking billions from taxpayers and the baloney myths to give way to fact and science.
