Vaxx-Port is a Catchier Name
We’ll kick off our whirlwind tour today with “it can’t happen here” news, where San Francisco bars will now be requiring a COVID pass for entrance in the latest mutation of the American Milgram experiment.
Meanwhile, in New York…
It may be your body, but apparently the government gets to decide what you get to do with it if they’re signing your paycheck. How long before our bodies become subject to imminent domain laws? Or are we already there?
Speaking of governments telling people what to do, sometimes they actually pay for it.
21st Century Gulags are Digital
It appears the surveillance arm of Big Tech will now be deferring to the Intelligence Community and the United Nations when determining who should be ex-communicated from social media. In the article Biden Gives “Five Eyes” What It Always Wanted, Mass Private I reports which companies have already pledged to share their user’s information with the institutions that deserve it the least; and some might even surprise you. Not surprise you that they would do it, but surprise you that it would be considered important.
Bruce Schneier outlines how easily your usage data can be obtained, without any additional legislation required.
Writing for Reclaim the Net, Christina Maas highlights a new partner for Facebook’s fact-checking politburo. Billed as a non-profit social technology company, a quick scan of Meedan’s website reveals that the alleged philanthropic group may not be exactly as advertised. Meedan openly declares a vision of a “more equitable internet,” and proudly proclaims that their top organizational value is to “be global.” Meedan’s declared partners include the Google News Initiative, Bellingcat, IBM, and the Omidyar Network, just to name-drop a few.

Americans, as well as citizens of other Western nations, would do well to pay close attention to events happening in countries like Tunisia. Great Game India illustrates how the latest round of social chaos developed in the North African nation widely regarded as the origin point of the Arab Spring. It seems that unlearned lesson may about to repeat itself, only on a much larger and more devastating scale this time.
Lastly, and most certainly leastly, ZeroHedge reports on the latest insane gambit from the morality police. Comedy is apparently now an imminent threat to the “oppressed minorities” of the woke world and needs to be dealt with, according to Church of Woke high priestess Robin DiAngelo. It seems that I remember folks from a specific ethnic group at one time warning the rest of us about what happens after the comedians start getting silenced.
I wish I had a better joke to end with today, but I don’t so this woman will just have to do.
