"Los Angeles has a new tool to dissuade large parties that double as virus super-spreader events: shutting off offending properties’ electricity and water. Mayor Eric Garcetti said he’s authorized the city to cut water and power in “egregious cases” of houses, businesses and other venues hosting large gatherings, effective Friday night. “We’ve seen the reports of some large parties and gatherings in flagrant violations of health orders,” he said in a press conference late Wednesday. “These house parties have essentially become nightclubs in the Hills.” The order follows a gathering this week that reportedly attracted hundreds of people at a mansion on Mulholland Drive and ended in gunfire. The event and others have raised concern that infections will accelerate in the epicenter of California’s Covid-19 outbreak. Los Angeles County has been making some progress in containing the virus, which has infected more than 197,000 residents. Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said Tuesday that there’s cautious optimism “that our efforts over the past few weeks may be starting to slow the spread.” The county on Wednesday reported 68 additional deaths and 2,347 new cases. It said nearly 60% of new Covid-19 cases occur in residents between ages 18 and 49. “All the sacrifices can be undone by those who refuse to follow the science and follow the rules -- and put our economy and our community at risk,” Garcetti said."
Protest are okay, though, and who authorized him to do such a thing?
Himself?

"Oxiris Barbot, commissioner of New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, resigned Tuesday, reportedly because of her “deep disappointment” in the way Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) has handled the city’s pandemic response. A copy of Barbot’s emailed resignation letter to de Blasio was shared with the New York Times, which reported that Barbot’s departure stemmed from her protest of the mayor’s leadership. “I leave my post today with deep disappointment that during the most critical public health crisis in our lifetime, that the Health Department’s incomparable disease control expertise was not used to the degree it could have been,” Barbot's email said, according to the Times. City health officials have been at odds with the mayor’s office over several major public health strategies, including de Blasio’s decision in May to break with precedent and strip the city’s health department of its contact tracing responsibilities. That effort is now overseen by the city’s public hospital system, which has no experience with contact tracing....."

Now for the rest of the alphabet:
"P Is for Predator State: The Building Blocks of Tyranny from A to Z" by John W. Whitehead, The Rutherford Institute | August 5, 2020
“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; a culture-death is a clear possibility.” — Professor Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Discourse in the Age of Show Business
While America continues to fixate on the drama-filled reality show scripted by the powers-that-be, directed from the nation’s capital, and played out in high definition across the country, the American Police State has moved steadily forward.
Nothing has changed.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a convenient, traumatic, devastating distraction.
The American people, the permanent underclass in America, have allowed themselves to be so distracted and divided that they have failed to notice the building blocks of tyranny being laid down right under their noses by the architects of the Deep State.
Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton: they have all been complicit in carrying out the Deep State’s agenda. Unless something changes to restore the balance of power, the next president—the new boss—will be the same as the old boss.
Frankly, it really doesn’t matter what you call the old/new boss—the Deep State, the Controllers, the masterminds, the shadow government, the corporate elite, the police state, the surveillance state, the military industrial complex—so long as you understand that no matter who occupies the White House, it is a profit-driven, an unelected bureaucracy that is actually calling the shots.
If our losses are mounting with every passing day—and they are—it is a calculated siege intended to ensure our defeat at the hands of a totalitarian regime.
Free speech, the right to protest, the right to challenge government wrongdoing, due process, a presumption of innocence, the right to self-defense, accountability and transparency in government, privacy, media, sovereignty, assembly, bodily integrity, representative government: all of these and more are casualties in the government’s war on the American people.
Set against a backdrop of government surveillance, militarized federal police, SWAT team raids, asset forfeiture, overcriminalization, armed surveillance drones, whole body scanners, stop and frisk searches, and the like—all of which have been sanctioned by Congress, the White House and the courts—our constitutional freedoms are being steadily chipped away at, undermined, eroded, whittled down, and generally discarded.
As a result, the American people have been treated like enemy combatants, to be spied on, tracked, scanned, frisked, searched, subjected to all manner of intrusions, intimidated, invaded, raided, manhandled, censored, silenced, shot at, locked up, and denied due process.
None of these dangers have dissipated in any way.
They have merely disappeared from our televised news streams.
It’s time to get educated on what’s really going on. Thus, in the interest of liberty and truth, here’s an A-to-Z primer that spells out the grim realities of life in the American Police State that no one seems to be talking about anymore.
A is for the AMERICAN POLICE STATE. A police state “is characterized by bureaucracy, secrecy, perpetual wars, a nation of suspects, militarization, surveillance, widespread police presence, and a citizenry with little recourse against police actions.”
B is for our battered BILL OF RIGHTS. In the militarized police culture that is America today, where you can be kicked, punched, tasered, shot, intimidated, harassed, stripped, searched, brutalized, terrorized, wrongfully arrested, and even killed by a police officer, and that officer is rarely held accountable for violating your rights, the Bill of Rights doesn’t amount to much.
C is for CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE. This governmental scheme to deprive Americans of their liberties—namely, the right to property—is being carried out under the guise of civil asset forfeiture, a government practice wherein government agents (usually the police and now TSA agents) seize private property they “suspect” may be connected to criminal activity. Then, whether or not any crime is actually proven to have taken place, the government keeps the citizen’s property and it’s virtually impossible to get it back.
D is for DRONES. It was estimated that at least 30,000 drones would be airborne in American airspace by 2020, part of an $80 billion industry. Although some drones will be used for benevolent purposes, many will also be equipped with lasers, tasers and scanning devices, among other weapons—all aimed at “we the people.”
E is for EMERGENCY STATE. From 9/11 to COVID-19, we have been the subjected to an “emergency state” that justifies all manner of government tyranny and power grabs in the so-called name of national security. The government’s ongoing attempts to declare so-called national emergencies in order to circumvent the Constitution’s system of checks and balances constitutes yet another expansion of presidential power that exposes the nation to further constitutional peril.
F is for FASCISM. A study conducted by Princeton and Northwestern University concluded that the U.S. government does not represent the majority of American citizens. Instead, the study found that the government is ruled by the rich and powerful, or the so-called “economic elite.” Moreover, the researchers concluded that policies enacted by this governmental elite nearly always favor special interests and lobbying groups. In other words, we are being ruled by an oligarchy disguised as a democracy, and arguably on our way towards fascism—a form of government where private corporate interests rule, money calls the shots, and the people are seen as mere economic units or databits.
G is for GRENADE LAUNCHERS and GLOBAL POLICE. The federal government has distributed more than $18 billion worth of battlefield-appropriate military weapons, vehicles and equipment such as drones, tanks, and grenade launchers to domestic police departments across the country. As a result, most small-town police forces now have enough firepower to render any citizen resistance futile. Now take those small-town police forces, train them to look and act like the military, and then enlist them to be part of the United Nations’ Strong Cities Network program, and you not only have a standing army that operates beyond the reach of the Constitution but one that is part of a global police force.
H is for HOLLOW-POINT BULLETS. The government’s efforts to militarize and weaponize its agencies and employees is reaching epic proportions, with federal agencies as varied as the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration stockpiling millions of lethal hollow-point bullets, which violate international law. Ironically, while the government continues to push for stricter gun laws for the general populace, the U.S. military’s arsenal of weapons makes the average American’s handgun look like a Tinker Toy.
I is for the INTERNET OF THINGS, in which internet-connected “things” monitor your home, your health and your habits in order to keep your pantry stocked, your utilities regulated and your life under control and relatively worry-free. The key word here, however, is control. This “connected” industry propels us closer to a future where police agencies apprehend virtually anyone if the government “thinks” they may commit a crime, driverless cars populate the highways, and a person’s biometrics are constantly scanned and used to track their movements, target them for advertising, and keep them under perpetual surveillance.
J is for JAILING FOR PROFIT. Having outsourced their inmate population to private prisons run by private corporations, this profit-driven form of mass punishment has given rise to a $70 billion private prison industry that relies on the complicity of state governments to keep their privately run prisons full by jailing large numbers of Americans for petty crimes.
K is for KENTUCKY V. KING. In an 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court ruled that police officers can break into homes, without a warrant, even if it’s the wrong home as long as they think they may have a reason to do so. Despite the fact that the police in question ended up pursuing the wrong suspect, invaded the wrong apartment and violated just about every tenet that stands between the citizenry and a police state, the Court sanctioned the warrantless raid, leaving Americans with little real protection in the face of all manner of abuses by law enforcement officials.
L is for LICENSE PLATE READERS, which enable law enforcement and private agencies to track the whereabouts of vehicles, and their occupants, all across the country. This data collected on tens of thousands of innocent people is also being shared between police agencies, as well as with government fusion centers and private companies. This puts Big Brother in the driver’s seat.
M is for MAIN CORE. Since the 1980s, the U.S. government has acquired and maintained, without warrant or court order, a database of names and information on Americans considered to be threats to the nation. As Salon reports, this database, reportedly dubbed “Main Core,” is to be used by the Army and FEMA in times of national emergency or under martial law to locate and round up Americans seen as threats to national security. There are at least 8 million Americans in the Main Core database.
N is for NO-KNOCK RAIDS. Owing to the militarization of the nation’s police forces, SWAT teams are now increasingly being deployed for routine police matters. In fact, more than 80,000 of these paramilitary raids are carried out every year. That translates to more than 200 SWAT team raids every day in which police crash through doors, damage private property, terrorize adults and children alike, kill family pets, assault or shoot anyone that is perceived as threatening—and all in the pursuit of someone merely suspected of a crime, usually possession of some small amount of drugs.
O is for OVERCRIMINALIZATION and OVERREGULATION. Thanks to an overabundance of 4500-plus federal crimes and 400,000 plus rules and regulations, it’s estimated that the average American actually commits three felonies a day without knowing it. As a result of this overcriminalization, we’re seeing an uptick in Americans being arrested and jailed for such absurd “violations” as letting their kids play at a park unsupervised, collecting rainwater and snow runoff on their own property, growing vegetables in their yard, and holding Bible studies in their living room.
P is for PATHOCRACY and PRECRIME. When our own government treats us as things to be manipulated, maneuvered, mined for data, manhandled by police and other government agents, mistreated, and then jailed in profit-driven private prisons if we dare step out of line, we are no longer operating under a constitutional republic. Instead, what we are experiencing is a pathocracy: tyranny at the hands of a psychopathic government, which “operates against the interests of its own people except for favoring certain groups.” Couple that with the government’s burgeoning precrime programs, which will use fusion centers, data collection agencies, behavioral scientists, corporations, social media, and community organizers and by relying on cutting-edge technology for surveillance, facial recognition, predictive policing, biometrics, and behavioral epigenetics in order to identify and deter so-called potential “extremists,” dissidents or rabble-rousers. Bear in mind that anyone seen as opposing the government—whether they’re Left, Right or somewhere in between—is now viewed as an extremist.
Q is for QUALIFIED IMMUNITY. Qualified immunity allows police officers to walk away without paying a dime for their wrongdoing. Conveniently, those deciding whether a cop should be immune from having to personally pay for misbehavior on the job all belong to the same system, all cronies with a vested interest in protecting the police and their infamous code of silence: city and county attorneys, police commissioners, city councils and judges.
R is for ROADSIDE STRIP SEARCHES and BLOOD DRAWS. The courts have increasingly erred on the side of giving government officials—especially the police—vast discretion in carrying out strip searches, blood draws and even anal and vaginal probes for a broad range of violations, no matter how minor the offense. In the past, strip searches were resorted to only in exceptional circumstances where police were confident that a serious crime was in progress. In recent years, however, strip searches have become routine operating procedures in which everyone is rendered a suspect and, as such, is subjected to treatment once reserved for only the most serious of criminals.
S is for the SURVEILLANCE STATE. On any given day, the average American going about his daily business will be monitored, surveilled, spied on and tracked in more than 20 different ways, by both government and corporate eyes and ears. A byproduct of the electronic concentration camp in which we live, whether you’re walking through a store, driving your car, checking email, or talking to friends and family on the phone, you can be sure that some government agency, whether the NSA or some other entity, is listening in and tracking your behavior. This doesn’t even begin to touch on the corporate trackers that monitor your purchases, web browsing, Facebook posts and other activities taking place in the cyber sphere.
T is for TASERS. Nonlethal weapons such as tasers, stun guns, rubber pellets and the like have been used by police as weapons of compliance more often and with less restraint—even against women and children—and in some instances, even causing death. These “nonlethal” weapons also enable police to aggress with the push of a button, making the potential for overblown confrontations over minor incidents that much more likely. A Taser Shockwave, for instance, can electrocute a crowd of people at the touch of a button.
U is for UNARMED CITIZENS SHOT BY POLICE. No longer is it unusual to hear about incidents in which police shoot unarmed individuals first and ask questions later, often attributed to a fear for their safety. Yet the fatality rate of on-duty patrol officers is reportedly far lower than many other professions, including construction, logging, fishing, truck driving, and even trash collection.
V is for VIRUSES AND FORCED VACCINATIONS. What started out as an apparent effort to prevent a novel coronavirus from sickening the nation (and the world) has become yet another means by which world governments (including the U.S.) can expand their powers, abuse their authority, and further oppress their constituents. With millions of dollars in stimulus funds being directed towards policing agencies across the country, the federal government plans to fight this COVID-19 virus with riot gear, gas masks, ballistic helmets, drones, and hi-tech surveillance technology. The road we are traveling is paved with lockdowns, SWAT team raids, mass surveillance and forced vaccinations. Now there’s talk of mobilizing the military to deliver forced vaccinations, mass surveillance in order to carry out contact tracing, and heavy fines and jail time for those who dare to venture out without a mask, congregate in worship without the government’s blessing, or re-open their businesses without the government’s say-so.
W is for WHOLE-BODY SCANNERS. Using either x-ray radiation or radio waves, scanning devices and government mobile units are being used not only to “see” through your clothes but to spy on you within the privacy of your home. While these mobile scanners are being sold to the American public as necessary security and safety measures, we can ill afford to forget that such systems are rife with the potential for abuse, not only by government bureaucrats but by the technicians employed to operate them.
X is for X-KEYSCORE, one of the many spying programs carried out by the National Security Agency that targets every person in the United States who uses a computer or phone. This top-secret program “allows analysts to search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals.”
Y is for YOU-NESS. Using your face, mannerisms, social media and “you-ness” against you, you are now be tracked based on what you buy, where you go, what you do in public, and how you do what you do. Facial recognition software promises to create a society in which every individual who steps out into public is tracked and recorded as they go about their daily business. The goal is for government agents to be able to scan a crowd of people and instantaneously identify all of the individuals present. Facial recognition programs are being rolled out in states all across the country.
Z is for ZERO TOLERANCE. We have moved into a new paradigm in which young people are increasingly viewed as suspects and treated as criminals by school officials and law enforcement alike, often for engaging in little more than childish behavior or for saying the “wrong” word. In some jurisdictions, students have also been penalized under school zero tolerance policies for such inane “crimes” as carrying cough drops, wearing black lipstick, bringing nail clippers to school, using Listerine or Scope, and carrying fold-out combs that resemble switchblades. The lesson being taught to our youngest—and most impressionable—citizens is this: in the American police state, you’re either a prisoner (shackled, controlled, monitored, ordered about, limited in what you can do and say, your life not your own) or a prison bureaucrat (politician, police officer, judge, jailer, spy, profiteer, etc.).
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the reality we must come to terms with is that in the post-9/11 America we live in today, the government does whatever it wants, freedom be damned.
We have moved beyond the era of representative government and entered a new age.
You can call it the age of authoritarianism. Or fascism. Or oligarchy. Or the American police state.
Whatever label you want to put on it, the end result is the same: tyranny.

"Australia’s hard-hit Victoria state has banned people who should be self-isolating from exercising outside their homes and introduced tougher fines for people with COVID-19 who continue to go to work. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews says military and health teams would repeatedly and randomly door-knock homes to ensure people who should be self-isolating were at home. Teams had checked more than 3,000 homes and couldn’t find more than 800 people who should have been home because they were awaiting a test result or had tested positive for the coronavirus. Andrews said the government was removing the lawful excuse that someone who should be self-isolating had gone out to exercise. The government has also increased the fine for failing to self-isolate. Victoria reported 439 new cases overnight and 11 new deaths."
That tyrannical toady Andrews has turned Melbourne into a living hell, where the police are smashing car windows and arresting drivers who refuse to give personal information.

Lockdown reimposed in Scottish city over ‘cluster’
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said all hospitality venues in the city had to be closed by end of business Wednesday. Those living in the area should not travel more than 5 miles unless for work or essential trips. People are asked not to go into other houses. Sturgeon said the cluster of 54 cases have been traced to a bar but that more than 20 other pubs and restaurants are involved. The restrictions will be reviewed next Wednesday and may be extended, if necessary.

"Trump Nukes China?" by The Stark Raving Viking | August 06, 2020
The coup of the world is becoming more, and more naked.
Mask wearing and social distancing will make us all ripe for the picking. We have submitted and await our final fate.
BLM, Antifa, the leftist Democrats, and the Communist Chinese are carrying out their agenda with a medical tyranny, a stealth attack to divide us, weaken us, and make us easy prey after we are starving, demoralized, and aren't safe in our own homes. We fight each other, wasting energy that should be directed at the perps.
The mask thing, first they said masks are ineffective and long term use by amateurs will increase the risk of diseases like holding warm, moist fungus against the face to infect the lungs. An entire Chinese Communist Army could deploy on American streets and blend in because of mandatory mask wearing and social distancing. Contract tracing is to identify, and then eliminate threats to the UN Communist takeover of the world.
Canada, and other countries could enjoy this "loving" Communist takeover of the world too.
The lock down is just a small taste of what life will be like when UN Agenda 2030 kicks into full gear. You are going to go green by giving your life up, so need for you to have a combustion engine, air-conditioning, electricity, or causing global warming because cows are farting.
As much as it makes me gag, I am listening to NPR, National Public Radio PBS. Whatever Trump is doing is bad. Trumps talking about Hockey being a good sport because players stand for American and Canada National Anthem is "racist" is harming humanity, and should be stamped out.
NPR hosts are saying Trump suddenly shouldn't be trusted with the "Nuclear Football" where Trump is in danger of launching nukes, so Democrats want to take that away from him, and his ability to resist their coup. Trump wouldn't even consider using nukes unless the UN did something like bring in the Chinese Communist Army to disarm Americans and force vaccinate the resistors.
Nothing that the Leftist Democrats, Antifa, BLM, and even the Chinese Communist activities are criticized on PBS NPR radio. It is the propaganda tool of the coup.
The COVID thing was called a DRILL by many of the actors involved. Trump first called BS on it all when it started, because he knew, he knows, and Trump is now playing ball with the coup with WARPSPEED to mass forced vaccines which could be zero percent effective to prevent anything, and could be lethal as there are no tests, or trials. Those who assault us with needles will face no criminal or civil liability for the known harm they will cause.
None of the above should make sense to a sane person.
Since the 2012 NDAA legislation being passed, the US Defense Department has gotten 100s of millions of tax dollars to conduct covert operations and to propagandize mainstream news for political purposed. Barack Obama signed over control of the Internet and US Free Speech to the UN.
We are witnessing the results of our tax dollars. So, do you like the lying, being ripped off, and abuse at your own expense?
The billionaires who have most ripped you off, and now have the possession of all that you used to own, including your freedom, they have no further use for you. They don't want to spend their stolen wealth to govern you. And if you go to them for justice, they will just give you something else.
The elite only want enough of humanity to be left to serve their needs. They are using us to do in ourselves, and propagandize us to beg for the privilege.
If there was travel allowed, American conservatives might want to contact Vladimir Putin and seek political asylum in Russia. In 1995 when I found out just the tip of the iceberg of the Clinton Coup 1.0, I thought about fleeing to Iceland, Russia, Ukraine, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Ecuador, New Zealand, Mexico, El Salvador or some destination out in the ocean to be reach by sailboat.
Prominent Democrat Businessman [Ritt Goldstein] also talked truth to power to Connecticut officials in same time frame I did, also had his family broken up, faced being railroaded to prison for the restof his life, police where threatening his life, and also had a slew of police informants out to attack him, and set him up. Ritt ended up penniless, shivering wrapped in a blanket having sought political asylum in Sweden at the same time I shivering under a blanket, homeless in seemingly arctic winter of Vermont fearing being murdered by police or their operatives, after my family was broken up and I was officially stripped of everything.
The Clintons may have rigged most, to all of the courts, compromising judges, worldwide. You don't see them prosecuted for anything they do, and that includes Chelsea's looting of Haiti, where she is living off 100s of millions of dollars looted from a nation.
Farming, meeting in public, small business, and religion are their biggest enemies. What has been most shut down before the final assault?
