China's Scary Social Credit System Made in USA by Google and Facebook

With Mao's Great Leap Forward (1958-1962), it became increasingly clear China was a totalitarian police state willing to do almost anything to advance its aims. That attempt to forcefully move from an agrarian to a socialist industrial society cost tens of millions of Chinese lives. One historian's estimate runs to a staggering 56 million deaths for that period alone, making Mao easily the greatest mass murderer of all time. After that came the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (more millions of deaths and countless other lives shattered) and, of course, what we all witnessed on Tiananmen Square in 1989, government tanks plowing into democracy protestors.

These days, however, the Chinese communists have become more subtle in the control of their populace. They are in the process of instituting a social credit system.

China has a radical plan to influence the behavior of its 1.3 billion people: It wants to grade each of them on aspects of their lives to reflect how good (or bad) a citizen they are. Versions of the so-called social credit system are being tested in a dozen cities with the aim of eventually creating a network that encompasses the whole country. Critics say it’s a heavy-handed, intrusive and sinister way for a one-party state to control the population. Supporters, including many Chinese (at least in one survey), say it’ll make for a more considerate, civilized and law-abiding society.

That one survey is backed up anecdotally by NBC's Janis Frayer, who made an interesting video inside China about this new system that allows the state to monitor technologically virtually every aspect of a person's life and reward or punish him or her accordingly. Frayer opines in the narration: "What's weird is people seem okay with it." (It wouldn't have seemed so weird if she had been in the PRC in 1979, as I was, and seen an entire country in blue pajamas.)

CU Colorado Springs students secretly photographed for government-backed facial-recognition research

A professor at the University of Colorado’s Colorado Springs campus led a project that secretly snapped photos of more than 1,700 students, faculty members and others walking in public more than six years ago in an effort to enhance facial-recognition technology.

The photographs were posted online as a dataset that could be publicly downloaded from 2016 until this past April.

While professor Terrance Boult and CU officials defended the project and its efforts to protect student privacy, a University of Denver law professor questioned whether this is an example of technological advancement crossing ethical boundaries.

“It’s yet another area where we’re seeing privacy intrusions that disturb us,” said Bernard Chao, who teaches the intersection of law and technology at DU and previously practiced law in Silicon Valley for almost 20 years.

Iran Stepping Back After Preparing To Attack US Forces

ran is taking a “step back” after seeming to prepare an attack on U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf region, Gen. Frank McKenzie, who commands American forces in the Middle East, said Thursday.

“I don’t actually believe the threat has diminished,” McKenzie said, according to The Associated Press. “I believe the threat is very real.”

McKenzie said he was keeping the option open to bring in more U.S. forces to defend against an Iranian attack, according to The AP. He’s the head of U.S. Central Command and spoke to reporters from the Baghdad headquarters of the U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

Evidence Suggests the Hillary Clinton Team Created Dossier Was Provided to Steele, then Kerry’s State Department and then to the FBI

Evidence has been unearthed that suggests the Steele dossier was produced by the Clintons and then fed to Christopher Steele and then eventually to the FBI via John Kerry’s State Department.

Former Clinton friend and advisor, Dick Morris suggested in February 2018 that the Steele dossier might have been made up by the Clintons and that Steele was only used to provide it some credibility:

OVER AND OVER AGAIN… Republican Lawmakers Refuse to Support Trump or His Voters — Is It Time for a New Party? Is It Time to Brexit the GOP?

When people show you who they are, believe them.

The Republican Party never much liked Donald Trump or what he represented.

The GOP and establishment conservative groups never much liked Trump’s supporters.

Republicans were fine at cowering behind their desks at the first sign of adversity. They were used to making promises and not following through. They were happy to cede power to a radical fascist left that continues to tear away at the fabric of this great nation.

Obama Surrenders U.S. Sovereignty: His INTERPOL Executive Order

At ThreatsWatch.org, Steve Schippert and Clyde Middleton have dug up the bizarre and unsettling issuance of an executive order recently signed by President Barack Obama. Executive Order – Amending Executive Order 12425, signed December 16 and released a day later, grants the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) rights on American soil that place it beyond the reach of our own law enforcement agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Schippert and Middleton note that Obama's order removes protections placed upon INTERPOL by President Reagan in 1983. Obama's order gives the group the authority to avoid Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests – which means this foreign law enforcement organization can operate free of an important safeguard against governmental abuse. "Property and assets," including the organization's records, cannot be searched or seized. Their physical locations and records are now immune from U.S. legal or investigative authorities.

If the president of the United States has an aboveboard reason for making a foreign law enforcement agency exempt from American laws on American soil, it wasn't shared by the White House.
