Social Media Censorship

Not a fan of all their views? Watch a different channel!

Ry Dawson - ANC Report

Lee Camp - Redacted Tonight

Video coverage is often an extension of media journalist work which includes books, travel, interviews, and a reservoir of critical thinking, satire, and public engagement. Independent journalism is on the brink of becoming obsolete. 

Freedom of speech is being shafted by cancel culture censorship and netiquette algorithms flagging content instead of using a RATING scale for audiences that satisfies video content. 

Banning video journalism gives ANY invisible authority on ANY online forum the power to discredit creative content being uploaded which essentially abolishes freedom of speech. 

Video creators who are flagged for adult language, adult views, controversial topics, or dark humor become discredited by social media algorithms for "hate speech" and are then subjected to being banned by all media network platforms.

The ONLINE ACCESS NETWORK needs to devise an appropriate platform for creative content that is diversified enough to include strong language and political views within a reasonable range of humane standards that aligns with societal lawfulness and tactful adult journalism. 

A rating scale for audiences and categories for content supports freedom of speech. Removal of account holders from online portals bans online audiences from accessing their work. 

Poor or questionable video content is subject for review by all media platforms. Being banned for questionable content can result from a knee-jerk consequence of a media authority disagreeing with a point of view. 

If content is truly questionable, the standards for revision should give video creators the opportunity to edit or alter  threatening material and any review board should uphold a fair standards base that aligns with freedom of speech. 

Any media forum can essentially scrap poorly revised content to a subcategory that can fit whatever title they give it.  Applying ratings that limit viewer access due to controversial material is one management tool. Extending guidelines for user management of video material is often based on universal policy for acceptable social conduct; but to obstruct view and use of online portals and video access is censorship when in the action of banning creative content, the incentive for doing so is potentially biased and based on personal disagreement with the content, the content creator, or opposing views.

Do no harm is a universal concept that is observed by most video creator media platforms. How this ideology is enforced matters.

Banning  independent journalists compromises social media integrity. The topics conveyed by online journalism often contain in-depth analysis due to the intensity and often graphic nature of the human condition. Some topics are flagged as "misinformation" or "hate speech" to silence controversial material from view. These matters of public importance should not be obstructed by media networks just because they may include adult content. 

Viewer discretion ratings assist management of social media forums when topics in videos present controversial human complexities. The spectrum of reporting information is vast. Critical analysis is the responsibility of the viewer not the agency hosting a portal for viewing content. 

As with most visual media content released to the public, screening content for violence, nudity, hate speech, political views, and adult content can be personified via a viewer discretion scale that limits viewing accessibility to specific audiences and flags for unlawful practices that warrant intervention for safety. 

Social media bannings are equivalent to book burnings.  Culturally complex communications that are perceived as disruptive or unwelcome to societal norms must be reviewed with care for potentially harmful consequences; however, using any adopted protocol for penalty actions upon reviewing video content must simultaneously protect the creative rights guarding freedom of speech. 

The value of speech is significant to our self-expression, our connection to each other, and humanity itself.

HB 1782 re Middle Housing 

Broken Agreements | Policing the Police

Broken agreements that betray trust can evoke emotional reaction.

In the cases of law enforcement injuring or killing another human being by using excessive force while appointed a public responsibility to serve and protect, the officer has abused his/her role and villainized a civilian to the point of execution.  This action coupled with a timeline of severe oppression and unresolved prejudicial conflict, is a human uprising to right a wrong, a wrong in which the oppressed party was apprehended with a tactic reserved for military combat not previously imposed on the civilian world. Does violence restore a person's life? Does violence teach either person a lesson? The only lesson from violence is more violence.

Violence rarely resolves the loss or heartache from loss. The restitution is justice and reforming inappropriate tactics, such as constraining civilians with excessive force... Whether that justice is equitable to the loss depends on cultural viewpoints for upholding human rights, restoring the dignity of all who are impacted by this betrayal, and whether the legal system adopts criteria to leverage and guarantee protection and human right. This is the currency for negotiating coexistence at this time.

Transparency is significant. It is often a lack of transparency that breeds distrust, as it is often in isolated situations that violent actions are perpetuated and most insidious.

I'm not certain if "winning rights" is the best way to identify with living with dignity. More often with human engagements it is a matter of existence and someone bullying another to comply with their rules for coexisting. When the legal system and law enforcement oppress civilians, the people will rise up in varying degrees, including violently, as a voice of accountability.

The history of law enforcement  tragedies means it is a PRIORITY to comprehend why it is necessary to demilitarize our police force nationwide city by city. The TRAINING is in question, training that involves apprehending a civilian using a military tactic that is disproportionate to civilian threat. Couple this tactic with social bias, adrenaline, and PTSD, and civilians are at-risk from vast categories of vulnerability while any law enforcement officer is facing potential liability for murder.

How long are we willing to be complacent while vulnerable populations are marginalized and mistreated under the guise of normalcy?? with issues of civilian fragility, marginalization, displacement, and poor legal representation suffering at the hands of "police brutality", these methods of meeting civil unrest have more clinical evidence of producing harm than resolution.

National tensions in larger cities give clear evidence that the reformation needed is within the very framework of training those who "serve and protect" to comprehend the levels of force for which a single human being is incapable of surviving. Clearly, they are aware. These are not casual mishaps. When do smaller city sectors set distinctive community measures to steer the direction of our criminal justice system? Is bigotry the guiding force? Is our criminal justice system polluted? On a local level, how do we condone ICE? A new jail? Enforce municipal Code that criminalizes poverty? What is our city and county interpretation of State law? Crimminalzation of marginalized populations exploits the people. The people are AWARE.

When civilian protestors and journalists are at risk of being pulverized by rubber bullets and pepper spray, we are no longer in unison with democratic rules of engagement. Our laws are meant to protect us, all of us, especially our most vulnerable, and our law enforcement agencies are meant to act as public liaisons to manage points of civilian conflict in which the law is not being observed. Our police are not supposed to be the source of public threat. Our police are not supposed to punish civilians.

Warfare is not the objective, but leveraging our self-governance as a people's government means being positioned to defend civil liberties and uphold our Constitution. Our gov is armed to the hilt. Recent training involves our domestic law enforcement adopting lethal execution style military restraint tactics, its clear we are in a bit of a civilian conundrum.

We need to defund private interest groups responsible for introducing foreign military execution style restraint on our civilian populations. These depts nationwide need accountability reforms, training reforms, higher standards of police recruitment requirements, as well as internal and public social awareness training, and transparency. The issue is excessive force leveraged against civilians, abuse of authority, and risk of civilian endangerment. Funding combat soldiers for our city streets is a major faux pas...

Law enforcement is being retaliated against for abuse of their authority, but to argue for more protection distorts their position. The people are not the enemy, bias and bigotry is. Police depts feel threatened by the public they are trained to serve and protect. The training and climate for which they work has been compromised by bigotry, greed, and human failure to uphold human decency.

There is a huge difference between being subjugated and oppressed by a person's position of authority in which that person is legally positioned and trained to act responsibly as a civil servant,  armed to the hilt, and someone rising up in anger because of lives lost, poverty, mental illness, or distress, lives that continue to be jeopardized by debilitating circumstances, now amplified by officers of the law abusing their trusted position.

Comparing police risk and civilian risk does not even come close to being the same because it is a police officer's duty to serve and protect, not punish and murder. Kneeing a person to death is manslaughter and our policing forces are using this tactic to apprehend whom they perceive as threats to society. ANY person or group of people can be seen as threatening and then targeted as threats when hostility is the response to injustice or loss, whether in a uniform or as a civilian. Injustice does not excuse violence, but it is a messenger.

Police officers KNOW that the career they have chosen puts their lives at risk. The training they receive to preserve lives and preserve their own lives requires immense responsibility, discernment, physical strain, psychological composure, and ACCOUNTABILITY when they FAIL. Militant actions that perpetuate murder is visible failure. Our system of management has failed both the police and the public.

No one is "safe" under current police protocols and policy. Rookie cops are bullied to comply with internal structures which are corrupt. Civilians should not fear law enforcement. Law enforcement is meant to intervene with sound practices to curtail violence as civil servants. They are positioned as keepers of the peace, and they often risk their lives to do so. The level of training today is no longer that of peace keeping and the level of social unrest exceeds ordinary peace keeping.

The ROOT of this warzone stems from societal corruption in which people have been marginalized, oppressed, targeted with bias, and bullied into compliance, silenced, and murdered-- civilians and police officers are at war against this corruption, not each other. Anyone who uses this unrest and uprising as an excuse to harm others is not justified. There are many ways to communicate. Violence is not the solution, but it has become the unspoken, unheard, and ignored messenger for revealing pain, suffering, and monumental irrevocable failure.

Seriously, people need to see how the system is imploding and what our longstanding administration (currently seated by Trump) has been doing and why. . . #wakeupAMERICA We look like a developing country with poverty more than visible on every street in every city of our nation. This is an economic disaster with some major fall-out that is only getting worse. People who were hanging in the balance are now on the street soon to be followed by those of us who cannot afford the ever-increasing housing costs and diminishing wage. This divisiveness of poverty vs wealth is purposeful to create enough dissention among the masses to enlist Martial Law and put everyone in cages. The only presidents that called this shit out were both shot in the head -- Lincoln and Kennedy -- both for trying to shut down the Federal Reserve and free America from the banks that have corrupted our PEOPLE'S GOVERNANCE.

COMMUNITY RESPONSIVENESS to CITIZEN DISPLACEMENT

What we consider to be “Choices” and “Opportunities” are countered by socioeconomic factors. When society collaborates to impose a level of derogatory perception toward an individual or group of individuals, the result is a generalization and group mindset of marginalizing the unwanted individual or group of individuals. This marginalization may be based on age, sex, race, religion, unemployment, addiction, citizen status, and/or many other factors that provide a platform for discrimination that ultimately casts a shadow. This shadow is then countered by what is perceived as “privilege” or a person’s “right to exist”. A collective mindset that perpetuates ill-will towards others often arises when people feel burdened by their neighbor’s actions or existence due to a lack of comprehension or complete understanding of their position; either for lack of having ever experienced it, or for fear of experiencing it. We can examine where our own bias and suspended disbelief contributes to the hardship that many are currently facing in our society and attempt to replace these adopted rituals of condemnation with awareness and empathy.

FACT #1 – All people experience hardship(s) relative to what they know.

FACT #2 – Not all people have the same opportunity(s) or challenges.

FACT #3 – Not all people accomplish the same goal(s) even if given the same opportunity(s) or possessing the same strengths/weaknesses.

We can expand on these three facts on a case by case analysis of each person who may experience similar situations and find themselves in differing outcomes or predicaments. When we consider that a person may not be as capable as we think they are, we are better able to acknowledge why they are where they are – a scope of understanding that goes beyond what we perceive as “success” and/or “failure”, and more importantly, goes beyond a scope of judgment and/or condemnation. If what we hold ourselves to does not match the conditions someone else is experiencing, we can easily conclude how it is they may be unable to improve their situation on their own.

The core elements that impact a person’s life either positively or negatively in a capitalist society (in which the foundation of our social collective depends rigorously on our ability to earn our position) we are at the mercy of our finances, our health, and our education. When any of theses three prongs are adversely affected, our ability to sustain ourselves is compromised. The failsafe that we rely on is our social network and family. If this is compromised, we are at the mercy of compassion and resources that may or may not be provided by the collective.

Nonprofits are charitable agencies that have arisen due to the nature of capitalist society. There is a measure of predestined success in our code of ethics which is visibly stated that all people deserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  Within a democracy or republic, a government’s citizens fairly represented under these dictates would come to conclude that a level of leniency is warranted when capitalism can become offensive to those experiencing economic hardship or dire circumstances compromising one’s ability to achieve a level of financial security. Agencies which only exist to serve and are not profit incentivized are positioned to counter certain challenges that capitalism presents to a people’s governance.

It is within these frameworks and this formula that we can be selective in our reasoning. Yet, no agency of the people works without the people for whom these agencies directly affect either positively or negatively. It is the people who determine the course of our laws, our regulations, our perspectives for which we abide as a community. It is the people who hold the highest charge and for whom our selected leaders are burdened with the task of delegation and direction to best serve the whole. We are not an easy flow of connecting points, but an erratic miserable sometimes cantankerous entity with infighting and resistance to what we do not understand or cannot relate to, for sheer lack of identifying with another person’s plight. Often, we are limited to what we know until we know more, and more often we refuse to know more out of fear and rejection of the unknown. This creates a division among the people and perpetuates suffering.

I am here to expose the blisters on our collective skin and make known what has gone unknown for far too long, so that perhaps we can remedy this situation and move forward. Our lives are interconnected. None of us is an island, however, many of us would prefer to shelter ourselves from the hazards we see others exposing themselves to. We do not understand this, and we choose to distance ourselves from what we see and acknowledge as poor choices and a course for failure and suffering. We perceive a person’s mishaps in life to be their own error in judgment, lack of education, poverty that is beyond our control for which we may find sympathy for but conclude has nothing to do with our own lives. We may even be grateful that our lives do not resemble those whose lives seem less desirable. None of these factors contributes to challenging ourselves to address the vacancy of responsibility that we have for our neighbor’s well-being. If our only contribution is sympathy, we are not aware of the reality and responsibility that we have, as it is that we are in a position of stability that our neighbor lacks.

How best do we address the plight of another human being? How best do we adjust our perception of another person’s situation? We begin by acknowledging the person as an equal to ourselves, as someone whose life experiences may or may not resemble our own, that for better or worse, has resulted in trauma and/or loss. It is reasonable at this point to conclude that trauma and loss are two contributory factors for why a person can no longer sustain their life, why they have become unable to cope well, and why they may or may not be able to regain what was lost. The question then becomes, what does this person need? Am I able to provide a path for this person to achieve their needs? If we cannot define the need and we cannot define the path, does that mean we cease all action? No, that means we provide what we think a person needs and work toward answering that question more thoroughly by engaging directly with them. We seek viable paths until the right path(s) present(s) itself. We do not hesitate. We do not wait. We act with what we know until we know more. We provide what we have until we can provide more. We offer solutions until the right solution is made realized. That is how we serve each other and minimize the struggle and pain; reach out.

Homelessness in Bellingham WA

Introduction

I began working with Homes NOW! Not Later… as a volunteer in December of 2017. The group decided to host a community event on City Hall lawn in Bellingham, WA for homelessness awareness after six months of stagnation attempting to gain a legal route to build a tiny-home community pilot project. The theme of the Sleep Out was “Stop the Sweeps”. Stop the Sweeps is a local volunteer campaign created to draw attention to the municipal infractions that penalize a person for ‘unlawfully’ pitching a tent for shelter. The goal was to shed light on the need for alternative affordable housing solutions for which Homes NOW is seeking to provide. 

Sleep Out for Homelessness Awareness

The Sleep Out event at City Hall started on December 1st and continued to December 18th. The original three-day event was authorized by city event permit to continue after testimonials of countless unhoused residents. The public voiced concerns that the local community did not have sustainable resources for the occupants on the lawn who by sleeping outdoors were making a last resort decision to reside in tents in public locations. Some reported that the shelter posed severe risk to their health and well-being. 

Tenters experiencing extenuating circumstances and chronic health issues stated the shelter was not conducive to their lives and living outdoors was less a risk than shelter habitation. Homes NOW reiterated to City Council as in previous public disclosures the impact to people’s lives who live without proper shelter, restroom access, storage facilities, and shower/laundering services. The public requested and proposed resolutions for shelter, 24/hour restroom access, proper waste disposal units, 24/hour safe storage, and free legal parking for those residing in their vehicles. These requests were denied.

The City Decision

While deliberating the needs of the community, the tenters continued to reside at the Sleep Out on City Hall lawn for the duration of two weeks’ time. City officials concluded that the limitations of the only existing city shelter were sufficient space to house the point-in-time population on the lawn, and that the lawn itself was in jeopardy. The mayor conveyed that people had a “choice” not to reside at the shelter and reiterated that the shelter was in fact the city’s only recourse for provisions at this time. The final decree was that RCW state law limited public events of the Sleep Out’s nature to continue on the City Hall lawn. The tent encampment would not be relocated to a new designated site and no declaration of emergency would be made to legalize camping publicly. 

It was specifically noted that the city faced impending lawsuit by threat of an outside authority (not revealed). The legal implications bordered on extortion to gain leverage to undermine the local democratic process citizens were pursuing. The citizens were seeking a route of responsiveness from the city to address a matter of urgent need. The members of the community challenged the ordinances protecting the city lawn for which RCW state law simultaneously conveys specific guidelines for addressing homelessness! The burden of prioritization was apparent and the competency of city officials to differentiate which is more important -- a lawn or a human life -- also became apparent. 

When deciding between the matter of caring for a lawn which can be regrown and the preservation of human life which cannot be regrown, certainly a conscientious determination would be made to preserve the lives facing critical hardships! The absence of shelter when residing in the unrelenting winter months of the Pacific NW can be lethal if not devastating to the health. The matter of protecting the lawn took precedence over the matter of protecting human lives. Two members of the community lost their lives shortly thereafter due to inclement weather and lack of proper housing and care. 

Homes NOW in 2018

Jim Peterson and Douglas Gustafson continue to provide immediate assistance to the local community in various capacities in which Homes NOW offers a beacon of support to the unhoused population in Bellingham. Beginning with their advocacy for social justice and reform during the Bernie campaigns, Jim and Doug initiated a nonprofit with the goal of ending homelessness by the year 2020. Homes NOW volunteers continue to seek a viable route to build alternative affordable housing solutions in Whatcom County such as tiny homes. 

Jim Peterson is well-known to all Homes NOW volunteers for his 17 years’ experience as a homeless person himself. Jim’s lifelong advocacy for challenging the status quo to a higher standard of social awareness is an asset to Bellingham for which many have dismissed with frustration and disapproval as Homes NOW is notorious for enlisting an unorthodox approach of simplicity over the traditional norm of bureaucracy. The barriers to this simplicity are zoning, land-use, and the interpretation of state and municipal laws which pose hindrances to building and operating a tiny home pilot-project and/or tent encampment community in Whatcom county. What is lacking is city and county compliance to prioritize the need for housing first solutions. The demand for housing exceeds the availability of affordable homes. This lack necessitates a building plan that is adaptable not constrictive, and the political will to endorse it.

Government Policy

Much of the discouragement locally is regarding ordinances that inhibit building tiny homes. The definition of a tiny house structure is often piggy-backed on the Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU). While possessing similar traits to a recreational vehicle (RV) and DADU, the tiny housing that is being introduced is neither; however, without utilizing these codes to build, the options to build do not exist. It seems rather logical and imperative that reevaluation of current zoning laws and land-use is needed for equitability of the population in seeking housing reforms and feasible solutions.

On January 22, Bellingham city leaders orchestrated a route for action establishing a fast-track ordinance under the premise of emergency to allow tent encampments; however, this ordinance is useless when no nonprofit organization possessing land offers charitability to host it. Herein lies the greatest of disappointments -- the community will to be proactive and the political will to modify counterproductive bureaucratic walls of complacency seems to be a tolerance for lagging indefinitely. Time is a luxury that those living on the street do not have. Living without shelter parallels that of a person treading water and trying desperately to make it to land. 

The bias and stigma that promotes itself in mainstream media is that people experiencing homelessness are lazy and should get a job. This judgment and noticeable disdain for members of our society who reside out-of-doors or in the shelters, on the street corners, or in less than acceptable conditions are counterproductive to solutions. 

There is a validity from our peers in society in which we gauge ourselves accordingly. Our dignity and self-esteem by default of our upbringing in a capitalist system defaults to defining ourselves by our net worth. This is a false identity that cripples many who fall from the ladder of success. When we abide by a false identity, we compromise our quality of life and what we feel we deserve. This is made most apparent by the personification of those living on the street being people less deserving of empathy rather than more deserving of it. We do not acknowledge a person’s actual situation, only our judgment of how they became incapacitated. This stems from a personal sense of failure and fear of failing.

*******************

Living without shelter poses difficulty for any person. The challenge is one in which a person striving to survive is daily shuffled from one public space to another by complaint-driven policing of their every living breathing activity. Without logical legal protection condoning livable activities such as eating, sleeping, or relieving oneself, people face municipal citations and civil infractions for life-sustaining activities. Living is made unbearable and is often only applicable to the population of city dwellers who do not possess basic resources to maintain their lives. Legal derogatory marginalization is evident as it is equal to kicking someone when they are down.

Springing Forward

Since the Sleep Out event, the police department added three local dumpsters and portable toilets in areas where illegal tent encampments are frequently located. The city has coordinated what they have titled HOT teams (Homeless Outreach Team) to correspond with “vacate notices” for “clean-ups” which are enforced as municipal citations despite the declaration that these citations are not “sweeps”. Homes NOW continues to coordinate monthly Summits to provide the housed and unhoused community an opportunity to meet, eat, and learn more from each other. Seasonal survival gear and clothing is handed out to those in need by local Homes NOW volunteers during the Summits. Surveys and interviews of homelessness experiences are compiled for video and data research. Social media continues to provide a forum for connection.

Mobile Shower Truck

In frustration for the lack of advancement toward a path to build tiny homes, Homes NOW leaders are utilizing their active volunteer team to provide what is lacking in the lives of those living without shelter. The most recent activity of Homes NOW is the volunteer spurred construction of a mobile shower truck for which unhoused individuals will have a much-needed resource for maintaining hygiene, rightly described as Showers NOW! Not Later...

Homelessness - Why So Many People ?

Seattle's Homelessness Crisis | People Living in Cars

"...2,300 homeless people countywide who sleep in vehicles, a population that has tripled since 2012..." 

The article states that the majority have a criminal record or drug history and are not easily housed for these reasons. This is what it's coming down to. The root is people growing up in a society where they fall prey to drugs and criminal behavior. The home has disintegrated because the value of the home was overlooked and taken for granted when women were the primary homemakers. 

Women's fight for fair treatment and equality was at the cost of the home and upbringing of our children (in a society that cultivates nurturing and caring for others flipping to a society that only cares for how much someone's earning capacity is) in our false race to be falsely 'equal' to a system that degrades nature and human beings. Neglecting our homes, neglecting our children, neglecting our planet and all life on it, are the repercussions of this imbalance and quest for acquisition and notoriety and rank, none of which has any substance or real concrete value. 

Planting a flower, reading a story, cooking a meal -- the little things that people do as a community with each other to learn and grow and instill a sense of values and worth are slowly losing ground. So is the very land we call home and inhabit. Land and space we occupy has become the ultimate commodity and the ultimate cost. In order to survive and claim our living space, we have to work for it, and those who do still can't manage to afford a life free of crime, free of addiction, free of societal condemnation for failure.

Our highest return on investment is our investment and time with each other as people. What we teach our children, how we treat our neighbors, reaching out to those in need who have suffered or continue to suffer. We have a duty and an obligation to be responsive and proactive and preserve our quality of life, not just for ourselves, but for our entire population. When we neglect and ignore human need, we are neglecting and ignoring our responsibility to the home, as a community.

Some people literally have to rewrite their life history and childhoods because they have experienced so much trauma and abuse. People who lose their way fall prey to poor coping mechanisms that further degrade their lives. When there is nowhere else to turn, people reach out to complete strangers for help... We can do better as a community, from childhood to adulthood if we focus our energy and investment of time on what really matters, people and the quality of their lives. . . No one should have to live in their vehicle or in a ditch on a roadside without shelter. This is the definition of societal failure and we need to reverse it NOW, not later...

Net Neutrality

http://www.cascadiaweekly.com/

Internet Neutrality

ACT NOW 

I urge you to stop the FCC's plan to end net neutrality *before* the FCC's December 14th vote.

I don't want ISPs to have the power to block websites, slow them down, give some sites an advantage over others, split the Internet into "fast lanes" for companies that pay and "slow lanes" for the rest, or force me to buy special "tiers" to access the sites and services I choose. But that's exactly what the FCC plan would do. Please read it:

https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-347927A1.pdf

Blocking & throttling by ISPs is a serious problem. Comcast has throttled Netflix, AT&T blocked FaceTime, Time Warner Cable throttled the popular game League of Legends, and Verizon admitted it will introduce fast lanes for sites that pay-and slow lanes for everyone else-if the FCC lifts the rules. This hurts consumers and businesses large and small.

If some companies can pay ISPs to have their content load faster, startups and small businesses that can't pay those fees won't be able to compete. This will kill the open marketplace that has enabled millions of small businesses and created America’s 5 most valuable companies. Without strong net neutrality protections, Internet providers will effectively be able to impose a tax on every sector of the American economy.

Moreover, under Chairman Pai's plan, ISPs will be able to make it more difficult to access political speech that they don't like. They'll be able to charge fees for website delivery that would make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can't pay up to have their voices heard.

If the FCC passes their current order, every Internet user and business in this country will be unprotected from abuse by Internet providers, and the consequences will be dire. Please publicly support net neutrality protections by denouncing the FCC's current plan. Do whatever you can to stop Chairman Pai, to ensure that businesses and Internet users remain protected.

Thank you!

If our government can blacklist individuals that pose a threat to their regime, they will do so. The broader picture in all of this is our "anti-terrorist" laws that propose avenues of extraditing persons out of America (in violation of the law) or into confinement outside of citizen jurisdiction under criminal penal codes that are justified by militarist actions to protect the country (via anti-terrorism). 

As preposterous as this sounds, this is the "why" behind criminalizing journalism and free-thinking in America. Journalism that is instigating mass-awareness of corporate activity in our government is a threat to the powers-that-be. 

The enforcement of martial law to keep the masses in compliance has been a long-term initiative yet to be achieved and this is just one brick in the mortyr for suppressing existing freedoms. What better way to shut-down the voices of influential leading entities revealing the truth than to peg them as traitors to their own nation (?) 

With a title like "foreign agent", a sleeping nation can fear and despise the source of information as a threat to their national patriotism. We are slowly becoming unhinged by these manipulating forces who are at least three steps ahead of brilliant minds unveiling the truth. Think chessboard -- think beyond the action to the "why" (...)

I suppose we can expect a pandemic of national proportion anytime after 2022...hmmm. That gives us all about 5 years to secure international Visas and seek alternative oversees residences. Just saying -- having this sort of bio-lab on the 'mainland' is about as risky as fracking the ocean and not anticipating failure, which, eh-hem, has occurred. Wake up America. Either human beings have a serious blind-spot to their fallibility, or there are specific individuals engineering our demise -- deliberately sabotaging and diminishing the human populace under the guise of 'Safety' and 'Science'. Uhg...not to even scratch the surface of the despicable experiments that will be performed in this facility, the vaccines that will be credited as 'Safe' and necessary, etc. National Security my ass. Dorothy, pack your bags and head to Oz.

"Operations Will Begin in 2022. DHS is developing a plan to provide a seamless transition from the Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) to NBAF that includes an overlap of operations to ensure no interruption of the critical science mission and operational capabilities. Construction activities are underway, facility commissioning will be completed in May 2021, and the facility will be fully operational in December 2022. Current operations at PIADC will continue until the mission is transitioned to NBAF in 2023." NBAF publication

Looks like I'm not the only one that thinks this is a bad idea...

We often pay for guidance when it is something already available and known to us, but as seekers, there will always be those who have gone before us manifesting new interpretations of prior evaluations to help us learn more, and the value is often worth paying for. So is her program worth it?



Here is another more ancient criteria of self-evaluation based on astro-data and the interpretation of personal traits based on the stars. It is human nature to seek our connection with our natural world.
