UK government to retain fingerprints and DNA profiles of COVID-19 infectees under national security

New legislation was passed in the United Kingdom last Thursday which allows the government to retain fingerprints and DNA profiles of those who have been deemed infected with COVID-19 beginning on 1 October.

The legislation titled The Coronavirus (Retention of Fingerprints and DNA Profiles in the Interests of National Security) (No. 2) Regulations 2020 lays out how the “Secretary of State, in accordance with section 24(3) of that Act, considers that coronavirus is having, or is likely to have, an adverse effect on the capacity of persons responsible for making national security determinations to consider whether to make, or renew, national security determinations and that it is in the interests of national security to retain the fingerprints or DNA profiles as provided for in these Regulations.”

The legislation goes into effect on Oct 1, 2020 and is set to end on March 24, 2021.

Shockingly, some of the provisions are listed under “terrorism” which raises a red flag.

From the legislation:

Extension of a current statutory retention period

3.—(1) Paragraph (4) applies in respect of fingerprints or DNA profiles that satisfy the conditions in paragraphs (2) and (3).

(2) The first condition is that the fingerprints or DNA profiles are retained—

(a)under any of the following provisions—

(i)paragraph 20B(3) or paragraph 20C(3) of Schedule 8 to the Terrorism Act 2000 (retention of paragraph 20A material)(3);

(ii)section 18A(1) of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 (retention of section 18 material)(4);

(b)under section 63F(3) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (retention of section 63D material)(6) if the fingerprints or DNA profiles satisfy the national security retention condition (see regulation 5).

(3) The second condition is that the final day of the period for which the fingerprints or DNA profiles may be retained (“the retention period”) will (ignoring the effect of these Regulations) fall on a date during the period that starts with 1st October 2020 and ends with 24th March 2021.

(4) The retention of the fingerprints or DNA profiles may continue for a further period of six months starting with the date on which the final day of the retention period would otherwise have fallen.

(5) In paragraphs (3) and (4), references to the retention period include a retention period as extended in accordance with regulation 3 of the first retention Regulations (extension of a current statutory retention period).

Anti-pedophilia subreddit banned after moderator admits he’s addicted to child porn

In its nearly four-year existence, the PedoGate subreddit amassed a robust community of nearly 45,000 users committed to exposing pedophiles.

The QAnon-adjacent subreddit, progeny of the banned Pizzagate subreddit, focused on identifying and doxxing pedophiles, with a focus on powerful people: politicians, clergy, celebrities, etc. (QAnon is a conspiracy theory that a powerful group of Satanic pedophiles runs the world and President Donald Trump is locked in a secret war with them.)

Two weeks ago, one of the moderators reportedly came forward with a shocking admission: he’s addicted to child pornography. Now PedoGate has been banned.

The mod, who identified himself as “Benjamin” according to a screenshot of the post circulating on Twitter, said that he’d struggled with his depravity for years.

“For half a decade I have had a problem with an attraction to pre-teen girls,” Benjamin wrote. “…I always knew in my heart that what I was watching is evil and wrong, constantly telling myself this will ruin your life, you have to break free and stop it.”

In spite of his obvious hypocrisy, Benjamin claimed that the hatred for pedophiles he’d expressed on PedoGate was authentic. “…[M]y anger towards pedophilia is true, I have an endless hate towards it and have said ‘It’s the biggest problem in our society and the world.'”

The confession included a litany of self-pitying non-excuses: “I am just 32.” “I wish I never got involved in this disgusting addiction.” “It has been my biggest problem and a true struggle to fight against by oneself once you fall into its crutches.”

Benjamin claimed that he’d sometimes be able to kick the habit for a few weeks or even months, but would always eventually relapse.

He may have continued in this way forever if the cops hadn’t shown up at his door.

Remarkably, he wasn’t arrested, he said. Rather, the police offered him a chance to come clean. So he did.

“I thought I shouldn’t go, I should get a lawyer. But the good side of me said this is your opportunity to finally speak out about what you have had a struggle with for so long.”

For two hours, Benjamin writes, he told his story to police.

Then, even more remarkably, an officer drove him home. Along the way he said the officer even made a joke about how he’d cried so much it was as if he’d watched The Titanic.

Benjamin closed the confession with an apology and said that he was going into therapy to try to banish his desire to watch child pornography.

==Billionaire critic of COVID-19 restrictions says Ottawa let her skip 14-day quarantine

Social Sharing==

Liz Uihlein, two other U.S. execs granted special exemptions for 36-hour business trip to Ontario

A top Donald Trump donor who has publicly campaigned against COVID-19 restrictions was granted a special entry exemption into Canada last month, allowing her to skip the country's mandatory 14-day quarantine for foreign travellers, a CBC News investigation has learned.

Liz Uihlein, the 75-year-old president and CEO of Uline Inc., a Wisconsin-based retailer of shipping, packing and janitorial supplies, flew to Toronto on her private jet on Aug. 25, for what her company calls a "facility visit" to its Milton, Ont., office and warehouse. Uihlein was accompanied by two other senior company executives, Phil Hunt and Glenn Quaiver, on the two-day trip.

Through a spokesperson, Uline insisted that the three Americans were granted formal exemptions from the two-week self-isolation period that has been in place since last March. Under a federal order-in-council, only four cabinet members — Minister of Foreign Affairs François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair, Minister of Health Patty Hajdu and Minister of Immigration Marco Mendicino — and Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, have the power to issue such free passes. But none of their departments will admit to having signed off on the three quarantine exemptions, and the company refuses to say who approved their applications.

Uihlein, along with her husband, Richard, ranks as the biggest donor to the Republican Party, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, having given more than $40 million US so far in 2019-20. She has been outspoken in her criticism of the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic, complaining that government-mandated shutdowns have been costly and disruptive for business.

"It's overhyped," she told the Guardian newspaper in April. "And I don't wish anybody ill will. You know I don't wish that, but I think it hurts certain ages in certain places and largely in a lot of parts of the world. In the country it's not as rampant as the press would have you make it."

326 Pounds of Meth Seized at Texas Border Crossing

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 326 pounds of methamphetamine at an international cargo facility on the Texas-Mexico border.

CBP officers assigned to the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge cargo facility on September 12 observed a tractor-trailer approaching from Mexico for entry into the United States. The driver, a 40-year-old Mexican male, declared the trailer contained a load of avocados, according to information obtained from CBP officials.

The CBP officer referred the driver to a secondary inspection area where other officers utilized non-intrusive imaging equipment (NII) to examine the cargo load. Officers also conducted a physical check of random pallets of avocados and discovered packages of drugs hidden inside the cargo area, officials reported.

During a physical search of the trailer, officers found 48 packages of methamphetamine. The 28 packages weighed approximately 326 pounds and had an estimated street value of more than $6.5 million. In addition, officers found one package containing 2.41 pounds of heroin.

The officers seized the tractor-trailer and the drugs and arrested the Mexican man from Uruapan, Michoacán. The officers turned the drugs and the subject over to special agents with ICE Homeland Security Investigations for further investigation and preparation of charges related to the alleged drug-smuggling incident.

Two days earlier, officers assigned to the Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge observed an 18-year-old male U.S. citizen approaching on the pedestrian walkway. During a secondary inspection, officers search the man from McAllen, Texas, and found 2.40 pounds of methamphetamine strapped to his body. Officers also turned the man over to HSI agents.

In total, the officers seized nearly 330 pounds of methamphetamine and 2.4 pounds of heroin. Officials declared the street value of the entire loads to be $6,670,500.

“Significant narcotics interdiction enforcement actions like these have direct and immediate impact on the smuggling organizations who operate in our area,” said Port Director Carlos Rodriguez, Port of Hidalgo/Pharr/ Anzalduas. “CBP Field Operations maintains a robust enforcement posture while continuing to facilitate and process legitimate trade and travel, which is a delicate balance.”

'ADF available': Police chief diary note contradicts Andrews on military

Diary notes made by Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton seem to directly contradict comments to Parliament by Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews that the Australian Defence Force was not offered as part of the state's hotel quarantine system.

One note in Mr Patton's diary in the crucial days leading up to the quarantine program starting on March 29 says: "ADF available re hotels static guarding of those sites".

Mr Patton said he can't remember the actual conversation that led to the note, but the words starkly contradict Mr Andrews' comments to Parliament's public accounts and estimates committee on August 11 that: "I think it is fundamentally incorrect to assert that there was hundreds of ADF staff on offer and somehow someone said no. That's not, in my judgment, accurate.”

The hotel quarantine inquiry has previously heard evidence that in crucial meetings on March 27 and March 28, Victorian officials, including police and public servants, decided to use the ADF for planning purposes only with no "boots on the ground".

The inquiry was also presented an email on Thursday from Deputy Commissioner Rick Nugent sent on the evening of March 28 to Mr Patton, who was then a deputy commissioner, saying the then chief commissioner, Graham Ashton, had "advised me that the agreed position at this stage is private security will be employed for this health intervention".

However, "I did suggest, if increased risks/issues were identified, ADF could have a role in this regard."

Mr Helps said even though the theoretical role of the state controller was to lead the response, the Chief Health Officer, Brett Sutton, along with Public Health Commander had "absolute control".

This contradicts what Mr Sutton said on Thursday, which was he was not in charge, after a decision by a deputy secretary of the Health Department.

Inquiry transcript: State controller Jason Helps says ADF made no offer to help

MR HELPS: Offers of welfare assistance, offers of accommodation, offers of equipment. There was a range of offers from both public and private sector that were coming in reasonably early on in this emergency, and again, as I said, that was really because of the focus of the time was about welfare and relief and preparing various sectors for what was going to be, at that stage we thought the peak of the pandemic in, you know, several weeks following. So there was a lot of offers of assistance coming in.

Q. Did that include offers of assistance from the Australian Defence Force personnel?

MR HELPS: No, it didn't.

Q. There were ADF personnel embedded within the State Control Centre at that time, though, were there not? Health service there were.

Q. And you were aware, weren't you, that what the announcement was made in relation to the Hotel Quarantine Program there was discussions around ADF personnel being made available, first of all, discussions in the announcement made by the Prime Minister?

MR HELPS: I wasn't aware of those at the time, no.

Q. Were you aware that the Premier, when he announced the Hotel Quarantine Program, indicated that there would be assistance from ADF personnel?

MR HELPS: Not at the time. If you appreciate, we were scrambling pretty quickly to start to put this plan together so I didn't have the benefit of watching the entire press conference of the Premier. I subsequently became aware of it but I wasn't aware of it at the time.
