‘Enemies of freedom’? Germany launches anti-rightwing crusade amid Austrian govt crisis

 

German politicians, including Chancellor Angela Merkel, have rushed to take advantage of the government crisis in neighboring Austria for their own political goals, uniting in a crusade against right-wing forces.

 

As Austria reels from a scandal involving Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, which has put the nation on the brink of snap elections, in Germany, politicians and officials of almost all political backgrounds seized the opportunity to demonize ‘right-wing populists’ … and teach their neighbors how they should do politics.

 

“Europe is a union of countries that have decided to cooperate on a basis of common values,” Merkel told journalists in the Croatian capital, Zagreb, answering a question about the situation in Austria. “We are dealing with movements, populist movements that despise those values in many aspects and seek to destroy the Europe of our values, so we have to oppose them.”

You’ve been warned: Widespread US face surveillance is ‘imminent reality’, says tech privacy report

 

Georgetown researchers are warning Americans about a sophisticated real-time face surveillance system that’s about to become an “imminent reality” for millions of citizens across the country.

 

The ‘America Under Watch’ report is a warning that authorities in select US cities may soon be able to pick you out from a crowd, identify you, and trace your movements via a secret network of cameras constantly capturing images of your face.

 

According to the research team’s report, live footage is captured by cameras installed around Detroit as part of Project Green Light, a public-private initiative to deter crime which launched in 2016. The expanse of the police department’s facial recognition policy last summer, however, means the face recognition technology can now be connected to any live video, including security cameras, drone footage, and body-worn cams.

 

Illinois, meanwhile, is host to one of the most advanced biometric surveillance systems in the country, the report claims, adding that the Chicago Police Department (CPD) and the Chicago Transit Authority have had face surveillance capabilities since “at least 2016.”

 

Similar face surveillance is also apparently on the horizon for NYC, Orlando, and DC.

Farage building movement off power of social networks’: Brexit Party winning the online war

 

Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party are crushing the competition in the social media battle being fought online, with their Facebook posts generating more shares than every other UK political party combined, according to new data.

 

89up, a London-based online content and social media consultancy have analysed a database of 1.5 million Facebook pages, since the beginning of the EU election cycle, which started a month ago.

 

Mike Harris, founder of 89up claims the extraordinary level of online engagement for the Brexit Party is down to the populist agenda being put forward by Farage.

Obama's Top FBI Lawyer Distances Himself From Steele Dossier As DOJ Investigation Looms

 

James Baker - the Obama FBI's top attorney (general counsel) said on Friday that he was skeptical about the Steele dossier, and "concerned" about its veracity when the agency received it prior to the 2016 US election, according to the Daily Caller's Chuck Ross.

 

"It was more information that we viewed, that I viewed, skeptically from the outset, and I was concerned about it and had a jaundiced eye, or looked at it with a jaundiced eye right from the outset," Baker told MSNBC's Chuck Todd, adding "Steele was and had been a source that we thought was reliable. He’s reporting all this information. It looks alarming. We took it seriously, but we tried to vet it."

 

The dossier - a collection of memos compiled by an ex-British spy funded by Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign and the DNC - was used by the FBI to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to spy on Trump campaign aide Carter Page. Steele alleged that Page provided the Trump campaign a Kremlin backchannel during the election.

 

Baker also told Todd that he thinks the FISA warrants against Page would have been granted without the dossier, and took a pregnant pause when asked if the dossier was used to obtain FISA warrants on other people - saying "I don’t think I should comment on that, I’m not sure what else the government has confirmed," and adding "I don’t want to confirm or deny anything about other potential FISA applications."

 

Meanwhile, Obama's former intel chiefs are at odds over who exactly pushed the dossier.

 

According to Fox News, an email chain exists which indicates that Comey told bureau subordinates that Brennan insisted on the dossier's inclusion in the intelligence community assessment (ICA) on Russian interference. Also interesting is that the dossier was referred to as "crown material" in the emails - a possible reference to the fact that Steele is a former British spy.

 

In a statement to Fox, however, a former CIA official "put the blame squarely on Comey."

 

Comey, meanwhile, has attacked Attorney General William Barr for investigating him, tweeting on Friday "The AG should stop sliming his own Department. If there are bad facts, show us, or search for them professionally and then tell us what you found."

Where does it say anywhere on there that SHE IS HERE?

It doesn't, because I wasted my time on that shit tier video b/c of a fake and gay description and know it doesn't.
