VIDEO: Masked, heavily armed men escort migrants across AZ border

 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection released video over the weekend showing the “escalation of tactics” used to smuggle illegal immigrants into the country, which now apparently involves heavily armed security.

 

“U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Ajo station apprehended a woman and her eight-year-old son after witnessing armed subjects escort the pair into the United States, west of Lukeville, Arizona, Saturday night,” the CBP reports.

 

“Border Patrol cameras observed several men armed with assault rifles escort a mother and child to the international boundary west of Lukeville,” according a statement. “The armed men dropped off the pair in an area commonly used by smugglers to bring massive numbers of Central Americans into the country illegally.”

 

The video shows at least six armed subjects in what appears to be military style tactical gear mulling about a SUV parked just across the border. After one of the subjects waived to the others, three armed guards escorted the mother and child from the vehicle to an open border fence a short distance away.

 

The group paused briefly at the border before the mother and child climbed through the barrier, followed by one of the armed guards, who walked along with the two for a short distance before returning back across the border to Mexico.

 

“This is highly unusual and highly concerning to the agency,” an unnamed border official told Fox News. “These armed individuals along the border represent an escalation of tactics. This is not mom and dad and kids deciding to head to the border. This is a no kidding, orchestrated effort to bring individuals into the U.S.

 

“It’s not just the numbers,” the official said. “It is who is running this enterprise.”

 

The incident follows massive waives of illegal immigrants flooding across the border in several areas, and the Lukeville, Arizona crossing has become a hot spot, in part because the barrier there isn’t designed to keep people out.

 

Border Patrol agent Jesus Vasavilbaso told KOLD the mother and son discovered in the recent video were told by smugglers to turn themselves in to authorities and claim asylum and the two followed the instructions.

 

“This part of the border does not have a wall or fence, it is just a vehicle barrier that keeps cars from driving across but does nothing to stop people from walking across illegally, which is exactly what these two did,” the news site reports.

 

The disturbing CBP video follows just days after border agents apprehended nearly 400 migrants – most of them children – in the same section of border after the migrants filed out of charter buses and walked across illegally.

Sodium is killing us (not red meat)

 

While red meat has been much maligned as a cause of preventable deaths in the US, a new study shows that consumption of sodium may be the real culprit. Red meat played a smaller role in deaths compared to sodium alone. RT America’s Natasha Sweatte reports for the News with Rick Sanchez.

NYU Law Professor Calls Bullsh*T On Vaccine NOT Causing Autism

 

Unanswered Questions from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program: A Review of Compensated Cases of Vaccine-Induced Brain Injury

 

Full free pdf here

 

When NYU Law School professor, Mary Holland’s child became autistic shortly after vaccinations, she, like the tens of thousands of other parents in a similar situation, became intensely interested in the issue of causality: did the vaccines cause her child’s autism?

 

She was also very perplexed by the language used by representatives of the HRSA (a parent agency of the vaccine court) saying that, though it has compensated several high profile brain injury cases (Hannah Poling and Baily Banks) that were also diagnosed as autistic, that the compensation was not for autism per se, but for brain-damage. The court continues to maintain that “vaccinations do not cause autism.” Furthermore, he advised that the HRSA does not track autism and has no information about whether these brain damaged cases are autistic.

 

Due to Mary Holland’s profession as a lawyer, and her position as a faculty member at NYU School of Law, she was in a position to look into the matter carefully with the assistance of Law Students which she enlisted for this project. Her article in the Pace Environmental Law Review summarizes the process by which vaccine injured parents seek compensation from the VICP “vaccine court” generally, and then more specifically, how the court has been handling cases of severe brain damage resulting from vaccinations.

 

On the one hand, the Vaccine Court and the CDC steadfastly and firmly deny that vaccines cause autism. Yet, the same court has been quietly compensating families of brain damage children with encephalopathy, ADEM (Acute Demyelinating Encephalomyelitis), residual seizure disorder and pervasive developmental delay. Some of these children also carry an unmentioned diagnosis of “autism” though this term rarely appears in the court documents. So their question is:

Facebook expects record $5 BILLION fine from FTC over privacy violations

 

Facebook has told investors it's probably on the hook for up to $5 billion in fines – a record-high penalty for a tech company in the US – as a Federal Trade Commission probe continues into its violations of users' privacy.

 

Citing "a $3.0 billion legal expense accrued in the first quarter of 2019 related to the ongoing US FTC matter" in its quarterly financial statement, Facebook later admits the penalty might be higher: "We estimate that the range of loss in this matter is $3.0 billion to $5.0 billion," the statement reads, adding that "the matter remains unresolved, and there can be no assurance as to the timing or terms of any outcome."

 

The FTC is investigating Facebook on charges it repeatedly and catastrophically failed to safeguard users' data, from allowing Cambridge Analytica to scrape 85 million users' information to permitting corporations like Microsoft and Netflix to access users' messages and other personal info as part of secret data sharing partnerships. Investigators have reportedly found plentiful evidence that Facebook violated a 2011 FTC agreement requiring it to get permission from users before sharing their data with third parties – and to notify the FTC when third parties have misused this data.

 

The multi-billion-dollar penalty would be unprecedented for the FTC, which has been letting effective tech monopolies like Google and Amazon off easy so far. Previously, the largest fine leveled against a tech firm was a $22 million slap on the wrist for Google in 2012 over failure to abide by a previous FTC agreement not to use cookies to track users of Apple's Safari browser. A multi-billion-dollar fine against Facebook would reflect the severity of its violations – breaching an existing agreement that was reached with the FTC after a previous investigation had found the company harmed users by failing to safeguard their personal information.

 

The Facebook investigation began in March 2018 in response to the Cambridge Analytica revelations, but several additional privacy scandals have come to light since then, putting pressure on the FTC to impose the maximum in fines. The regulator can ask for up to $41,000 for each violation it finds. If Facebook declines to settle – and the Washington Post reported earlier this year that they had "expressed concern" with the FTC's demands – the case could go to court.

 

While $5 billion may not seem like much next to the $15.1 billion in revenue Facebook has reported for the first quarter of 2019, such penalties do add up, especially as Facebook has seen its value drop in response to a seemingly endless string of scandals and European regulators have begun to impose restrictions on its ability to hoover up users' data unimpeded.
