President Trump Orders Extensive Declassification

By Jeff Carlson, CFA, Sept 17, 2018 | Original post here.

President Trump issued an order on Sept. 17 for the immediate declassification of three series of documents related to the Russia investigation and the spying on his presidential campaign.

  • The first set of documents relates to the FISA spy warrant application on campaign adviser Carter Page, specifically pages 10–12 and 17–34 of the June 2017 Page FISA renewal.

  • The second set of documents relates to the series of FBI interviews with former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr.

  • The third set of documents encompasses all FBI reports of interviews prepared in connection with the Page FISA applications.

In addition to the declassification of the documents, Trump has also directed the Department of Justice and the FBI to publicly release all text messages relating to the Russia investigation of former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, the lead FBI agent on the Russia investigation Peter Strzok, FBI lawyers Lisa Page, and Ohr. The released texts are to be fully unredacted.

This declassification order is broader than had been anticipated. A declassification of the sequence of redacted pages from the Page FISA documents, along with the interviews of Ohr, had been assumed. This order goes much further.

  • Pages 10–12 of the June 2017 Page FISA application relate to the Russian government’s efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

  • Pages 17–34 relate to Page’s coordination with Russian government officials on 2016 U.S. Presidential Election influence activities. A number of these pages are fully redacted.

Sept 16, 2020 — Press Release

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Department of Defense (DoD) today released two documents outlining the Trump Administration’s detailed strategy to deliver safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine doses to the American people as quickly and reliably as possible.

The documents, developed by HHS in coordination with DoD and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), provide a strategic distribution overview along with an interim playbook for state, tribal, territorial, and local public health programs and their partners on how to plan and operationalize a vaccination response to COVID-19 within their respective jurisdictions.

HHS Secretary Alex Azar said:

“As part of Operation Warp Speed, we have been laying the groundwork for months to distribute and administer a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it meets FDA’s gold standard. “This in-depth, round-the-clock planning work with our state and local partners and trusted community organizations, especially through CDC, will ensure that Americans can receive a safe and effective vaccine in record time.”

DHS to Propose Expansion of Biometrics Collection

Sept 10, 2020 | Sept 13, 2020, Vol. X, Num. 257 here.

On September 11, 2020, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will release a new regulation for notice-and-comment that proposes to expand the collection of biometric data and give DHS increased flexibility to deal with emerging needs. Here are a few highlights from the draft 328-page rule.

  • Unless waived by DHS, any applicant, petitioner, sponsor, beneficiary, or individual filing or associated with an immigration benefit or request, including U.S. citizens, must appear for biometrics collection — regardless of age.
  • There will be new biometrics modalities including iris scans, palm prints and voice prints.

  • DHS may require DNA results to prove the existence of a claimed genetic relationship.

  • Foreign nationals who are granted immigration benefits will be subject to continued and subsequent vetting and biometric evaluation until granted U.S. citizenship.

  • New forms will be produced including the new biometrics requirements.

These were no empty words. They were plain statements of fact. The world did change on that day.

9/11 was the carte blanche for a Great Reset, the institution of a new normal in international relations and domestic affairs. From the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the militarization of the police to the multi-trillion dollar wars of aggression to reshape the Middle East, our lives today are drastically different than they were before that fateful Tuesday in September 2001.

AT&T’s Current 5G is slower than 4G in Nearly Every City Tested

AT&T phones often get just 5MHz of 5G spectrum, slowing them down in speed tests.

By Jon Brodkin, Sept 8, 2020 | Original Ars Technica article here.
The conclusions are corroborated by the Washington Post, in their piece: The 5G lie: The network of the future is still slow.

Summary:

  • AT&T and T-Mobile 5G use the same low-band spectrum bands they use for 4G, ensuring wider coverage but without huge speed boosts.
  • Verizon 5G’s ultra-high speed and sparse availability are because it uses the 28GHz spectrum band, which offers plenty of capacity but without the ability to cover long distances or penetrate walls and other obstacles.

AT&T’s 5G is Slower Than its 4G

AT&T smartphone users who see their network indicators switch from "4G" to "5G" shouldn’t necessarily expect that they’re about to get faster speeds. In PCMag’s annual mobile-network testing, released today, 5G phones connected to AT&T got slower speeds than 4G phones in 21 out of 22 cities.

PCMag concluded that "AT&T 5G right now appears to be essentially worthless," though AT&T’s average download speed of 103.1Mbps was nearly as good as Verizon’s thanks to a strong 4G performance. Of course, AT&T 5G should be faster than 4G in the long run—this isn’t another case of AT&T misleadingly labeling its 4G network as a type of 5G. Instead, the disappointing result on PCMag’s test has to do with how today’s 5G phones work and with how AT&T allocates spectrum.

The counterintuitive result doesn’t reveal much about the actual differences between 4G and 5G technology. Instead, it’s reflective of how AT&T has used its spectrum to deploy 5G so far. As PCMag explained, "AT&T’s 5G slices off a narrow bit of the old 850MHz cellular band and assigns it to 5G, to give phones a valid 5G icon without increasing performance. And because of the way current 5G phones work, it often reduces performance."

Pfizer CEO Says People Who Refuse SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination Will be the Problem

"Those who don’t get vaccinated will become ‘weak link’ that allows coronavirus to spread."

Adapted from an article by Berkeley Lovelace Jr.@BERKELEYJR, Tue, Sept 8, 2020 | Original CNBC article here.

KEY POINTS

  • Medical experts fear a vaccine approval could be politically motivated.
  • The federal government is pushing states to have vaccine distribution sites ready by Nov.1, two days before the presidential election.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla warned on Tuesday that people who don’t take the Covid-19 vaccine will become a “weak link” that allows the coronavirus to spread. Bourla, whose company is in late-stage testing for a potential inoculation, said he understands the public’s concerns about vaccines, which are being developed in record time. He said Pfizer will only request authorization from the Food and Drug Administration after data shows that its vaccine is safe and effective.

Bourla told NBC’s “TODAY.”

"People who decide against taking the vaccine once available “will not only affect their lives. They will affect the lives of others because if they don’t vaccinate, they will become the weak link that will allow this virus to replicate,” he."

The Onslaught of Tyranny Continues: CDC OK’s Family Separations

Students May Be Kept From Parents Overnight as Ohio Sets Up COVID-19 FEMA Camps

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is warning parents that their children may be kept from their parents overnight due to COVID-19 concerns, as states set up COVID-19 shelters where infected individuals could be forcibly quarantined.

“Tell school administrators about any extra supplies your child may need to safely make it through a night away from home,” the CDC wrote to parents in their advisory. “Bring extra medicines, special foods, or supplies your child would need if separated overnight.

“Complete a backpack card and tuck one in your child’s backpack and your wallet,” they added.

At the same time, Ohio is taking measures to create isolation camps with assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that can house COVID-19 patients in certain instances.

Ohio Department of Health (ODH) Interim Director Lance Himes issued a state-wide order on Aug. 31 enacting these camps to house people who “are unable to safely self-quarantine in their place of residence and to isolate those diagnosed with or showing symptoms of COVID-19.”

The Ohio camps will be used to house people who

  • “test positive for COVID-19 who do not require hospitalization but need isolation (including those exiting from hospitals);
  • those who have been exposed to COVID-19 who do not require hospitalization; and
  • asymptomatic high-risk individuals needing social distancing as a precautionary measure.”

Aluminum Dust from Geoengineering Fueling Super Wildfires

By Denis Mills , Sep 6, 2018 | Original PR Newswire article here

LOS ANGELES — While researching for his new novel, author Denis Mills discovered an alarming link between geo-engineering weather modification and the super wildfires. The author discovered that unprecedented levels of aluminum and barium nanodust, primary components in weather modification sky spraying, both of which are incendiary, are fueling the ferocity of the super wildfires.
