Under the Biden administration, ICE records show the agency deployed Clearview widely, even as officials there charged with monitoring the technology were in the dark about how it was being used and by whom.

This is the direct path from neoliberalism/conservatism to fascism that some of us have been warning about for decades.

Sure, the D’s are better than the lowest bar known to man — mentally ill fascists and con artists — but fascism may have never succeeded without their own corruption, authoritarianism, and fealty to the plutocracy. They’ve spent decades building the most pervasive surveillance apparatus in history, collecting data from most computers on the planet, about most of the human population, and are doing nothing as the keys to the kingdom are handed to the Nazis.

The MIC already worked a solution since last time China restricted exports; both Cali and Australia would pick up production.

The problem with rare earth isn’t that it’s rare, it’s that they only exist in low concentrations, and the total lack of labor and environmental laws in China means that there is no room for external competitors to compete on price… Our modern neoliberal governments refuse to do anything that does not enrich or empower the oligarchy; not even for “national security”.

Unfortunately, this means Australia might have just jumped to the top of the nazi parties annexation list.

Mental illness. I’m serious.

Why isn’t this a lifetime ban? If you engage in fraud or any other crime of corruption, abuse of power, etc, you shouldn’t be allowed to be a part of the government again for life.

Congrats. You lack reading comprehension.

There is no doubt in my mind this is all driven by the private for-profit prison system in the US.

There is zero reason to detain anyone for weeks/months that has not been charged with any crime, and wants to return home.

Turns out when lunatics seize control of the insane asylum, except the asylum is the world’s wealthiest economy, it ultimately impacts every economy on earth.

I suspect a dead cat bounce at the very least next week.

While true, it’s not really fair to attribute the march 2020 covid drops to Trump. Every market on earth tanked, and there wasn’t much any admin could’ve done to stop it.

However, this was 100% in Trump’s control and is 100% self-inflicted. Has any US admin ever tanked the markets entirely on their own, in all of history… I mean, apart from the Republicans ~100 years ago (hilariously, also with Tariffs)?

This is true for so many countries it’s best to apply these steps anytime you pass through customs.

Thanks “war on terror”, and everyone who supports the destruction of civil liberties for fake-security.

While better than nothing, you want to avoid using the OS’s cloud for backups at all, as that means your data is unencrypted and accessible on Googles/Apples servers (for 99% of smartphone users). There’s nothing to stop the American nazi party from using the NSA’s privileged access to scan every account for wrong-think.

Ideally you want to perform a fresh encrypted backup on a PC and upload that to multiple cloud services — preferably EU and E2E encrypted — then download and restore it once you pass through customs at your destination.

TIPS:

• This is not just for the US. Almost every customs can image your devices at any time.

• it’s best to setup a “travel image” for every device, that is adequate for the entire trip, in case restoring from backup fails.

• just deleting everything is not sufficient. Logs, caches, etc all persist on a device; many of which are completely hidden from the user.

• do everything a few days or more beforehand so you have time to trim the fat, upload the backup, and setup the new travel image with the core apps you need for transit.

• It’s best to remove all photos and other large non-essential app data before performing this backup to keep it as small as possible.

• do a screen-recording as you click through all your OS and app settings, pre-backup, so you can setup the clean “travel image” how you like it.

• setup a separate password manager account, and only use it to store credentials for critical accounts while transiting.

• keep 2 separate 2FA and password manager backups in a reputable E2E encrypted cloud provider, accessible by a memorized passphrase you use nowhere else. I do this in general every so often as part of a standard backup routine.

Yes, it is ridiculous for law abiding citizens to have to do any of this to protect their privacy and data sovereignty, but this is the reality of living in corporate oligarchies hostile to civil liberties and human rights.

More like asking the slaves about productivity advances in slavery. “Nothing good will come of this”.

The secret ingredient was hundreds of millions of dollars

Yes, but now the shoe’s on the other foot!

All this displays is that the abused are likely to become the abuser — a well-known statistically significant reality in psychology — and that religious nationalism and conservatism will always lead to fascism.

The rest of the “free” “democratic” world has supported them the entire time, and is now equating merely voicing support for the victims of genocide with terrorism.

I figured the turning point would come around the time Israels far right committed domestic terrorism, and violently stormed IDF bases demanding the release of a soldier charged with using rape as torture. That changed nothing. Our “ally” is fucking indistinguishable from any Nazi, and our governments continue to whole heartedly support genocidal fascists.

So they can only expel them from Berlin? If they can expel them from Germany, then they act on behalf of Germany.

US patients already pay the price; for tens of thousands with their lives, each year.

Goebbels don’t give a fuck.

They should just skip all this nonsense and make it illegal to be anti-genocide…

But then they couldn’t commit genocide, and they really enjoy the suffering.
