Mail and delivery services worldwide are now doing similar, including requiring and recording government photo ID to send parcels and letters, storing all camera footage, facial, and ALPR logs, of the facilities forever, etc.

Jan6: Feds Admit to Running Secret DOJ Commandos

Feds Finally Admit to Running Secretive DOJ “Commandos” at Jan. 6 Trump Protests https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/01/breaking-feds-finally-admit-runnin… https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-secret-commandos-shoot-kill-authority-we… The Department of Justice admitted this week to running secretive DOJ “commandos” at the January 6 protests in Washington DC. Four Trump supporters died that day including two women who were killed by Capitol Hill Police. A third woman was nearly killed but was rescued by Green Beret Jeremy Brown. SHOCKING VIDEO: J6 Political Prisoner and Green Beret Jeremy Brown Rescued Female Trump Supporter from DEADLY US Capitol Police Beating – WOMAN WAS NEARLY KILLED The DOJ Commandos were given “shoot to kill” orders. TRENDING: BREAKING: Georgia Investigators have 'Ballot Trafficker' Who Is Talking -- Admits to Being Paid THOUSANDS in 2020 Election Ballot Boxes Ballot Harvesting Scheme -- 242 Ballot Traffickers Detected Now they’re admitting the government did in fact have commandos at the capitol on Jan. 6. After nearly a year this information is finally coming out. And they accused this website and others of being conspiracy nuts for reporting on the feds in the crowd that day. We will likely never know how many feds were working that day to sabotage the peaceful protests. Newsweek reported: On Sunday, January 3, the heads of a half-dozen elite government special operations teams met in Quantico, Virginia, to go over potential threats, contingencies, and plans for the upcoming Joint Session of Congress. The meeting, and the subsequent deployment of these shadowy commandos on January 6, has never before been revealed. Right after the New Year, Jeffrey A. Rosen, the acting Attorney General on January 6, approved implementation of long-standing contingency plans dealing with the most extreme possibilities: an attack on President Donald Trump or Vice President Mike Pence, a terrorist attack involving a weapon of mass destruction, and a declaration of measures to implement continuity of government, requiring protection and movement of presidential successors. Rosen made a unilateral decision to take the preparatory steps to deploy Justice Department and so-called “national” forces. There was no formal request from the U.S. Capitol Police, the Secret Service, or the Metropolitan Police Department—in fact, no external request from any agency. The leadership in Justice and the FBI anticipated the worst and decided to act independently, the special operations forces lurking behind the scenes. “I believe that DOJ [Department of Justice] reasonably prepared for contingencies ahead of January 6, understanding that there was considerable uncertainty as to how many people would arrive, who those people would be, and precisely what purposes they would pursue,” Rosen later told Congress. He stressed that his department “no frontline role with respect to crowd control,” that they were focused on “high-risk” operations. The contingency units meeting on January 3 included the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team, the FBI’s national “Render Safe” team, an FBI SWAT team from the Baltimore Field Office, Special Response Teams from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group… …FBI tactical teams arrived on Capitol Hill early in the day to assist in the collection of evidence at sites—including the Republican and Democrat party national headquarters—where explosive devices were found. FBI SWAT teams and snipers were deployed to secure nearby congressional office buildings. Other FBI agents provided selective security around the U.S. Capitol and protection to congressional members and staff. A tactical team of the Hostage Rescue Team was one of the first external federal agencies to actually enter the Capitol after protestors breached the building. In addition to augmentation of emergency security assets, one team coordinated with the U.S. Capitol Police and Secret Service to provide additional safeguarding of Vice President Pence, who had been moved to the underground parking structure beneath the Capitol, from where he was supposed to evacuate. But Pence refused to leave the building and stayed underground instead. The presence of these extraordinary forces under the control of the Attorney General—and mostly operating under contingency plans that Congress and the U.S. Capitol Police were not privy to—added an additional layer of highly armed responders. The role that the military played in this highly classified operation is still unknown, though FBI sources tell Newsweek that military operators seconded to the FBI, and those on alert as part of the National Mission Force, were present in the metropolitan area. The lingering question is: What was it that the Justice Department saw that provoked it to see January 6 as an extraordinary event, something that the other agencies evidently missed.

Cryptocurrency: US HR7231 Proffers "Private Anonymous ECASH and HW"
by grarpamp 31 Mar '22

31 Mar '22

And thus it began... https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/03/28/us-lawmakers-introduce-ecash-bil… https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/28/us_digital_dollar/ https://lynch.house.gov/2022/3/rep-lynch-introduces-legislation-to-develop-… https://lynch.house.gov/_cache/files/5/0/500162f9-7fce-4981-b9b9-16bf22e10e… https://lynch.house.gov/_cache/files/1/7/17e47e5a-2bff-42c1-b509-eb8a50931f… H.R. 7231, the Electronic Currency and Secure Hardware (ECASH) Act SUMMARY In view of the continued expansion of digital payment and currency technologies and in line with efforts undertaken by the Federal Reserve and Biden Administration to explore diverse digital dollar designs and deployment options, the Electronic Currency and Secure Hardware (ECASH) Act directs the Secretary of the Treasury to develop and issue an electronic version of the U.S. Dollar (e-cash) for use by the American public. · To maximize consumer protection and data privacy, this innovative legislation requires Treasury to incorporate key security and functionality safeguards into the e-cash system that are generally associated with the use of physical currency including anonymity, privacy, and minimal generation of data from transactions. · In the interest of greater financial inclusion, the bill mandates that e-cash must be interoperable with existing financial institution and payment provider systems, capable of executing peer-to-peer offline transactions and distributed directly to the public via secured hardware devices. · To safeguard e-cash against illicit financial activities, the bill requires e-cash compliance with existing anti-money laundering and countering terrorist finance regimes. ELECTRONIC CURRENCY INNOVATION PROGRAM · Requires the Secretary of the Treasury to establish the Electronic Currency Innovation Program to direct, oversee, and coordinate the development and implementation of e-cash and enabling architecture, technologies, and platforms. · Treasury is fully suited to lead e-cash development given that the agency already produces hard currency and successfully implements the U.S. Debit Card Program including the Economic Impact Payment prepaid debit cards issued to Americans under the CARES Act. · The director of the ECIP is appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, for a 5-year term. PILOT PROGRAM · Requires Treasury to initiate a two-phase e-cash pilot program within 90 days of enactment with the deployment of e-cash to the American public expected no later than 48 months after enactment. · Phase 1: Consists of at least three "Proof-of-Concept" pilot programs designed to determine the initial feasibility of e-cash design and deployment. These pilots may be conducted in partnership with universities, non-profit organizations, insured financial institutions, financial technology firms, non-bank payment providers focused on expanding financial inclusion, and other entities. They may also be conducted in partnership with existing federal, state, or local government fund disbursement or payment program including those that rely on the U.S. Debit Card Program. At least two of the technologies selected for the pilot program must be based on secured hardware-based architectures that do not involve any common or distributed ledger, at least one must include a stored-value magnetic or pin card option for storage and payment, and at least one must include a cell phone or SIM card option for storage and payment. · Phase 2: Consists of at least one large-scale "Field Test" pilot program deployment to a segment of the American public. These pilots may be conducted in partnership with federal, state, local, and foreign governments, international regulatory bodies, and the entities eligible to partner in Phase 1. · Objectives: The general purpose of the pilot programs is to assess the viability and capacity of various e-cash technologies to incorporate the security and functionality safeguards that are generally associated with the use of physical currency; deploy rapidly and efficiently; and maintain compatibility with existing financial institution and payment provider systems. ELECTRONIC DOLLAR The bill mandates several e-cash features, e.g.,: · Legal Tender: E-cash must be legal tender, created and issued into circulation by Treasury, and payable to bearer. · Financial Inclusion: E-cash must be distributed and used directly by the American public via widely available hardware devices. It must also be capable of peer-to-peer, offline transactions and interoperable with all existing financial institution and payment provider systems. Moreover, in developing e-cash, the Security must priorities technologies that promote universal access and usability particularly as relating to individuals with disabilities, low-income individuals, and communities with limited access to internet or telecommunications networks. · Privacy: E-cash must incorporate key security and functionality safeguards that are generally associated with the use of physical currency including anonymity, privacy, and minimal generation of data from transactions. E-cash must also be distributed through secure hardware devices that are secured locally via cryptographic encryption or other similar technologies and cannot contain personal identifiable information or be subject to surveillance, transactional data collection, or censorship-enabling features. Establishes a "Monetary Privacy Board" which will review decisions and actions of the ECIP and ensure that the actions are consistent with the Act and commit to preserving the privacy interest of individuals that use e-cash. Moreover, establishes a Monetary Privacy Board to review e- cash development actions and decisions and evaluate the extent to which they preserve individual privacy. · Consumer Protection: Merchants may not impose any fee for using e-cash payments or purchases. Disclosures by the government and any third-party authorized to distribute e-cash devices regarding usage, fees, interoperability, security, privacy, data collection, and other areas identified as relevant by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection must be clear, readily understandable, and made in writing. · AML/CTF: E-cash must be classified and regulated in a manner similar to physical currency and would therefore be subject to existing anti-money laundering, counterterrorism, Know Your Customer, and financial transaction reporting requirements and regulations. · Transparency/Oversight: In developing e-cash, Treasury must prioritize the use of hardware and software technologies issued under open-source licenses. Also establishes a Digital Dollar Council within Treasury to coordinate with other relevant U.S. departments and agencies on e-cash related activities.
