Biden's DHS may restart border wall construction to plug 'gaps' | 05 April 2021 | Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told department employees he may restart border wall construction to plug what he called "gaps" in the current barrier. In a conversation with ICE employees last week, Mr. Mayorkas was asked about his plans for the wall and he said that while Mr. Biden has canceled the border emergency and halted Pentagon money flowing to the wall "that leaves room to make decisions" on finishing some "gaps in the wall." Mr. Mayorkas, according to notes of the ICE session reviewed by The Washington Times, said Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the wall, has submitted a plan for what it wants to see happen moving forward.

Saying 'No' to 'vaccine passports' By The Washington Times | 30 March 2021 | (Opinion) COVID-19 "vaccine passports" will become the next civil-rights crisis of our time. They are un-American, a violation of individual freedom and pose a menacing privacy risk regardless of the entity requiring their use. Any institution pushing these passports as a "good idea" is trying to destroy liberal democracy. People will be confronted with a stark choice: Either get a COVID-19 vaccination and allow the government to collect data on you or be faced with discrimination. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday said he would take executive action to stop the use of vaccination passports in his state. "It's completely unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon you the requirement that you show proof of vaccine to just simply be able to participate in normal society," he said.

Florida School Forcing 'Re-Education' on Students Who Don't Want to Wear Masks | 03 April 2021 | Students at Clearwater High School in Florida have been warned that they will be "re-educated" on the importance of wearing a mask if they are seen on school premises not wearing a face covering. An advisory posted on the school's website regarding face mask policy tells students, teachers, staff and any visitors that masks are mandatory on all school property as well as on school buses. The section on "noncompliance" then spells out the punishment for anyone caught flouting the rules. "The wearing of a face covering is a public health issue. Students who do not wear a mask when it is required (or refuse to do so), should first be reeducated on the importance of wearing a mask," states the advisory. "If after reeducation occurs, they still do not comply, the student's administrator should be contacted," it adds, outlining that parents will also be contacted and the student will be forced to switch to online learning if non-compliance continues.

MLB to Move All-Star Game and Draft Out of Georgia in Response to New Election Integrity Law | 03 April 2021 | MLB Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr. has added his voice to the debate on Georgia's new election integrity law, writing in a news release that he has "engaged in thoughtful conversations" with different voices in the Baseball world and decided that the best way "demonstrate our values as a sport" is to move the All-Star game out from Georgia. MLB Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr. announced Friday that the baseball league is moving its all-star game from Georgia. Recently, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed into law election reforms that would require photo ID for absentee voting, mandatory dropbox security, and mandatory early voting dates, among other measures. "I was proud to sign S.B. 202 to ensure elections in Georgia are secure, fair, and accessible," Republican Kemp said on Twitter. "I appreciate the hard work of members of the General Assembly to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat."

Congressman Brooks introduces bill to make E-Verify mandatory | 02 April 2021 | Alabama Republican Congressman Mo Brooks has introduced the "Accountability Through Electronic Verification Act," a bill that would permanently reauthorize the E-Verify program and make its use mandatory for employers. "The prospect of a job entices illegal aliens to break into America," Brooks said. "Making E-Verify mandatory for all companies coupled with harsh penalties for violations cuts off illegal aliens from American jobs. The result? Fewer illegal aliens to take jobs from and suppress the wages of American workers. Which equates to higher pay and more jobs for Americans. An added bonus is that illegal aliens who can’t get jobs will self-deport at no cost to taxpayers. That is a great deal for all Americans! This bill is a no-brainer." Immigration policy reform groups NumbersUSA and the Federation for American Immigration Reform both support Brooks's bill.

CNN's Dr. Leana Wen: Make It Clear to People That the Vaccine Is Their 'Ticket Back to Pre-Pandemic Life' and Freedom | 02 April 2021 | During a March 10 appearance on CNN, former Baltimore health commissioner Dr. Leana Wen discussed how to overcome "vaccine hesitancy" among the population. "We have a very narrow window to tie reopening policy to vaccination status," she said. "Because otherwise, if everything is reopened, then what's the carrot going to be? How are we going to incentivize people to actually get the vaccine?" "We need to make it clear to them that the vaccine is the ticket back to pre-pandemic life." "So that's why I think the CDC and Biden administration needs to come out a lot bolder and say, 'If you are vaccinated, you can do all these things. Here are all these freedoms you have,'" she said. "Because otherwise, people are going to go out and enjoy these freedoms anyway..."

Insane in the membrane: Poll: Majority of voters plan to wear masks even after the pandemic ends --Less than a quarter say they'll definitely stop wearing them. | 02 April 2021 | A majority of U.S. voters say they'll continue to wear masks even after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen. Fifty-three percent of respondents said they'll likely "continue wearing a mask in public when the pandemic is over." Just 41% said they were unlikely to continue doing so, with only 23% deeming it "not at all likely."

Tech Giants Google, Oracle to Monitor Americans Who Get COVID-19 Vaccine --The head of Operation Warp Speed told the Wall Street Journal all Warp Speed vaccine recipients in the U.S. will be monitored by "incredibly precise...tracking systems" | 20 Oct 2020 | Last week, a rare media interview given by the Trump administration's "Vaccine Czar" offered a brief glimpse into the inner workings of the extremely secretive Operation Warp Speed (OWS), the Trump administration's "public-private partnership" for delivering a COVID-19 vaccine to 300 million Americans by next January... During an interview with the Wall Street Journal published last Friday, the "captain" of OWS, career Big Pharma executive Moncef Slaoui, confirmed that the millions of Americans who are set to receive the project's COVID-19 vaccine will be monitored via "incredibly precise...tracking systems" that will "ensure that patients each get two doses of the same vaccine and to monitor them for adverse health effects." Slaoui also noted that tech giants Google and Oracle have been contracted as part of this "tracking system" but did not specify their exact roles beyond helping to "collect and track vaccine data." A major conflict of interest worth noting is Google's ownership of YouTube, which recently banned on its massive multimedia platform all "misinformation" related to concerns about a future COVID-19 vaccine. With Google now formally part of OWS, it seems likely that any concerns about OWS's extreme secrecy and the conflicts of interest of many of its members (particularly Moncef Slaoui and Matt Hepburn) as well as any concerns about Warp Speed vaccine safety, allocation and/or distribution may be labeled "COVID-19 vaccine misinformation" and removed from YouTube. [Google and Oracle have secret contracts for "pharmacovigilance" tracking and surveillance upon vaccine recipients. Looks like I need to write an expanded and revised edition of Google Archipelago: The Digital Gulag and the Simulation of Freedom! --CLG Founder, Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D.]

"Due to an exterior security threat, no entry or exit is permitted at this time in any building in the Capitol complex," a voice announcement throughout the complex sounded... Capitol Police outside of the building were seen tending to at least one person on the ground, with two stretchers rolled out and large amounts of law enforcement and first responder activity. Two people were pushed on separate stretchers into two separate ambulances, which have left the scene. The entry point where the scene unfolded is directly where senators and aides enter the Capitol each day.

One suspect was taken into custody, police said, and the building was placed on lockdown. Cellphone video clips showed a helicopter landing near the Capitol before taking off a short time later. A photo also shows a dark sedan with its front end crumpled against a white metal, pop-up barricade with the words "STOP" in red. [Hmm... Sounds like a big fat false flag to justify the ongoing lockdown in Washington,DC.]

Texas Senate Advances Election Integrity Bill Focused on Mail-in Ballots | 01 April 2021 | The Republican-led Texas state Senate approved legislation on April 1 that would ban mail-in ballot drop boxes and most drive-thru voting, a measure that Republicans say "ensures election integrity," while Democrats say it’s voter suppression and makes it harder for people with disabilities and ethnic minorities to vote. The bill, which passed 18–13 along party lines, will now head to the state's House of Representatives. Committee hearings are slated to start when the lawmakers convene on April 6. The measure, according to state Sen. Bryan Hughes, a Republican, is "designed to address areas through process where bad actors can take advantage because we want the people of Texas to be confident their elections are fair, honest, and open." The legislation "standardizes and clarifies" voting rules so "every Texan has a fair and equal opportunity to vote, regardless of where they live in the state."

The army was recruited in 2018 but reared its head again this week as workers at an Amazon fulfillment center in Alabama voted on whether to form a union amid complaints about working conditions. On Twitter, the army has defended worker conditions and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and has even gone after the company's biggest critics like Bernie Sanders, the liberal senator from Vermont. They were told specifically to confront people on Twitter in a 'blunt' manner, according to an internal document about their training that was obtained by The Intercept. The document was marked 'Amazon.com confidential' and titled 'Global social CS Program Management.'

White House knew more than a week ago of Johnson & Johnson contractor vaccine-supply problems --Workers at Emergent BioSolutions ruined 15 million doses by mixing ingredients from two Covid-19 vaccines together. | 31 March 2021 | Senior Biden administration health officials, including some within the White House, knew two weeks ago that a Johnson & Johnson contractor's production problems could delay delivery of a significant number of future vaccine doses, according to three senior administration officials. The news that the contractor, Emergent BioSolutions, had ruined 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson's vaccine by mistakenly mixing it with ingredients from another coronavirus shot became public on Wednesday. But two senior officials working on the federal government's Covid-19 response told POLITICO that it became clear earlier this month that there were significant problems at Emergent's West Baltimore plant, where the company was producing the active ingredient -- or drug substance -- for J&J's vaccine. The officials said they had not known the exact details of the situation.

Wisconsin Supreme Court overturns statewide mask mandate, blocks Evers from declaring multiple emergency orders | 31 March 2021 | The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Wednesday blocked Democratic Gov. Tony Evers from issuing any new public health emergency orders to mandate face masks without the approval of the Republican-controlled state Legislature. In a 4-3 decision, justices in the majority declared the statewide mask mandate invalid and ruled Evers exceeded his authority in issuing multiple emergency declarations over the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Evers used the emergency orders to require face coverings be worn indoors statewide after lawmakers opted not to. "The question in this case is not whether the Governor acted wisely; it is whether he acted lawfully. We conclude he did not," Justice Brian Hagedorn, writing for the conservative majority, said.

Ohio lawmakers move to preemptively ban vaccine passports over concerns about privacy | 31 March 2021 | Two Ohio state legislators are planning to introduce a bill that will preemptively ban vaccine passports over concerns about privacy and government overreach. Rep. Al Cutrona, a Republican who represents parts of eastern Ohio, told Fox News that vaccine passports mandated by the government would create "privacy concerns that should be startling to anyone." "I want to make sure that we put a stop on this from the government," Rep. Cutrona -- who runs an infectious disease medical practice in Ohio -- said Wednesday. "It's a false sense of security, a false sense of normalcy, and frankly, I think it's a very slippery slope that we're heading down." Rep. Mike Loychik, a Republican cosponsor of Cutrona's bill, tweeted that the "last thing we should do is follow Andrew Cuomo and New York's example by implementing vaccine passports."
