Progressive Group Tracks Cell Phones, Travel Patterns of Anti-Whitmer Michigan Protesters

A progressive group organized to “protect Medicare” recently tracked the cell phones of protesters who attended rallies in opposition to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) lockdown orders.

The Committee to Protect Medicare used technology to be able to trace the travel patterns of protesters who attended two events in Lansing organized to criticize the governor.

When Breitbart News asked the group if it also tracked protesters in Detroit, Lansing, and Grand Rapids related to the death of George Floyd, it wouldn’t answer.

The group said it tracked the cell phones to determine whether attendees were then spreading coronavirus around the state.

“I think you can absolutely argue that a likely high-risk group of individuals all gathering in close quarters have a high risk of propagating the virus,” Dr. Rob Davidson, executive director of the group and a failed congressional candidate, told the Detroit News.

The paper explained the process:

The tracking, known as “geoharvesting,” is when data is gathered from a smartphone app on a device connected to the internet. That data contains geolocation information that can be queried to show movement on a map.

Michigan Freedom Fund Executive Director Tony Daunt told the Grand Rapids Reporter:

The idea that the Committee to Protect Medicare finds it necessary to track the data of cell phones from conservatives who engage in their first amendment rights and doesn’t necessarily have the same concerns about spreading the virus from those they may be more ideologically aligned with is a form of rank hypocrisy from people like Dr. Davidson, the governor and really large segments, if not all segments, of the Left and Democrats here in the state of Michigan.

During a May press conference, Whitmer seemed to refer to the tracking work of the Committee and concluded it “translates to where we’re seeing hot spots in rural parts of Michigan.”

“I don’t know the group. I’ve not vetted the data. I can’t vouch for it,” she hedged.

The group actually created a gif depicting the travel patterns of those protesters it tracked:

Action Network claimed The Committee to Protect Medicare is a “project of the 501c(4) Reinvent Fund.”

Davidson, during his losing congressional campaign, decried “untraceable dark money” in politics.

The group released a new ad on Facebook, and devotes three seconds to health care and 57 seconds to attacking President Trump:

According to Open Secrets, the committee spends the vast majority of its funds on web ads.

The group wouldn’t tell Breitbart News how tracking the cell phones of anti-lockdown protesters would protect Medicare or if it would continue to cherry pick which protesters to monitor

People who were made aware of this may think twice about exercising their First Amendment rights and attending a protest in the future,” Daunt told the Grand Rapids Reporter

Yep thats their plan, squash 1st Amendment Rights. Whitmer and this organization needs a class action lawsuit and federal charges for illegal monitoring of citizens

NBC Report Implicates Google in Antitrust Activity

Posted by sundance

NBC is so desperate to take these actions, meaning the fake news is falling faster and harder then before, and I think NBC and Google has opened Pandora’s box in their own prosecution! It’s time, especially when dirty tricks like these are used to quash public debate and good journalism

NBC News is taking a victory lap after their successful efforts to target their competition, The Federalist website, results in GoogleAds demonetizing the outlet. However, within the article the NBC report also implicates Google in large-scale antitrust violations.

According to NBC the outlet asked Google to take action against the Federalist. Emphasis mine:

(Via NBC News) […] The two sites, ZeroHedge and The Federalist, will no longer be able to generate revenue from any advertisements served by Google Ads.

A Google spokesperson said in an email that it took action after determining the websites violated its policies on content related to race.

“We have strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can run on and explicitly prohibit derogatory content that promotes hatred, intolerance, violence or discrimination based on race from monetizing,” the spokesperson wrote. “When a page or site violates our policies, we take action. In this case, we’ve removed both sites’ ability to monetize with Google.”

[…] Google blocked The Federalist from its advertising platform after the NBC News Verification Unit brought the project to its attention. (link)

Apparently NBC has a self-admitted division within its news operation that is specifically focused on eliminating any competition

To accomplish this objective NBC requests Google to target and remove revenue from their competition. An alignment of self-serving interest based on ideology. This is only one example of an unlawful antitrust violation.

Again, the traditional media cannot win the debate of ideas without putting mechanisms into place to tilt the stage in their favor.

This is a rather stark admission; and the fact that NBC would publicly admit their intent is evidence of how little the media is concerned about the nature of their ideological manipulation.

However, there’s another public admission within the article that is worth highlighting

[…] Google added that it takes into account all of the content on a website including comments to determine if a policy violation has occurred.

That is how Google has gone beyond the scope of commerce, and into the realm of curtailing speech. By weaponizing their ability to demonetize a platform Google attempts to force digital platforms to remove public speech they disagree with

What you the reader/commentator write on a website can end-up with Big Tech targeting that website financially. Think about the larger ramifications here. Hopefully, in a modern era where so much information is now captured by alternative outlets, everyone is starting to see just how big an issue this control authority has become.

On May 28th, after President Trump signed an executive order targeting on-line censorship, CTH wrote a twitter thread about it. There has to be a breaking point where the FCC or DOJ steps in to address these issues, if our constitutional republic is to survive.

[Read Executive Order Here] – In the periphery of this executive action there are indications, and a widespread expectation, the DOJ is close to filing an antitrust lawsuit against Google Inc and their affiliated companies. There is a possibility the controlling ideology of ‘big tech’ is about to merge with legal action by the DOJ.

The DOJ action has not yet happened, but there are signals it is close. There have been visible signals, subtle but visible, the DOJ was/is about to move on a massive (the biggest in history) antitrust lawsuit against Google and all affiliates.

Posted by sundance

Data released by the Commerce Dept [pdf here] shows U.S. shoppers increased spending by a record 17.7% from April to May. The jump in spending was double the amount most economists and forecasters were predicting.

(Reuters) Retail sales jumped 17.7% last month, the biggest advance since the government started tracking the series in 1992. Sales dropped a record 14.7% in April. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast retail sales would rise 8% in May. (link)

COVID Madness – Chicago Ministry of COVID Compliance Introduces “Social Distancing Ambassadors

Comrade Lightfoot explains why the Chicago Ministry of COVID Compliance needed to cancel the days-off for all police officers, and extend all shifts to 12 hrs per day.

According to the Chicago Mayor, the city will be deploying “Social Distancing Ambassadors” to help citizens accept their social responsibility. The monitors will assist the public remaining disengaged from human contact as the Ministry begins permitting citizens to exit the confines of their homes.

Drone enforcement could likely assist

No word on the specifics, but Chicago scientists have apparently identified a hybrid form of the virus that will attack outdoor residents who enter a six foot danger-zone in proximity to another person. The ministry has determined Blue state residents are safe at distances exceeding 6 feet. However, inside that zone, at 4 or 5 feet or less, the virus creates a rapid death spiral and attacks with increased ferocity. It is currently unknown why the proximity strain of the virus responds differently in Red states.

Blue State proximity infection is dangerous. Unless, of course, the proximity variable is influenced by the third factor of vegetables or groceries; which have been identified as generating a safe zone as outlined in local supermarkets. As a consequence, jogging without groceries requires the proximity police, aka “Social Distancing Ambassadors

According to city officials, these new exterior compliance officers should help reduce the influx of residents currently jogging in grocery stores. Remember, we are all in this together; and to prove how critical this is to the fabric of our society, we must all stay apart.

The COVID-19 virus seems incapable of keeping up with the speed of passenger vehicles, buses, airplanes and trains.

However, once you exit your COVID compliant transportation, the Blue State virus can swoop down and attack you if you are in the proximity of a open-space park or beach

The Ministry appreciates our compliance in avoiding the dangerous virus freedom zones;

and is thankful for compliant citizens who do not question the complex data analysis that goes into regional scientific tracking systems

Mayor de Blasio calls in sick day after marching in mass protests but refuses COVID-19 test, despite symptoms and telling NYers to get tested

I call this poetic justice, Kek has willed it

Hizzoner — who has repeatedly told New York residents to get tested for the coronavirus (even if they don’t have symptoms) and in fact made free testing available to anyone — took a sick day Monday after marching with thousands of protesters on Sunday. And he is still refusing to get tested for the coronavirus, the New York Daily News said.

“The mayor woke up under the weather. He’s taking the day to recuperate and we should be back to normal programming tomorrow,” spokeswoman Freddi Goldstein told the paper. “We don’t believe it’s COVID-related.”

Gothamist reported that the office said de Blasio was suffering “gastrointestinal symptoms.”

According to the Daily News, the mayor had no intention of getting a coronavirus test — and that he hasn’t had one since the beginning of the pandemic.

Goldstein said, “Based on what he is experiencing, the mayor does not believe there’s a need to be tested,” Gothamist reported.

But as the outlet noted, the city’s Department of Health includes “gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting or diarrhea” as reported symptoms of COVID-19. And an April study out of Stanford University said loss of appetite, nausea, and diarrhea were reported among a third of COVID-19 patents. – READ MORE

Former CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien says a network exec told her she could only book the ‘right kind’ of black guests

Former CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien has accused an unnamed executive producer at the network of insisting that she only book the “right kind” of black guests on her show.

O’Brien, who co-anchored CNN’s “American Morning” from 2003 to 2007, made the allegation in a pair of tweets Saturday, in which she alleged the producer singled out New York Times columnist Charles Blow as the “right kind” of black person, but not radio host Roland Martin.

“Reminds me of the cnn exec who told me: ‘Roland Martin isn’t the ‘right kind of’ Black person,'” O’Brien wrote in the tweet. “She didn’t want me to book him on my show.”

“Charles Blow, she told me, (also a frequent guest) was ‘the right kind of Black,'” the former CNN anchor added in a follow-up tweet. – READ MORE

They caught the asshole that smacked an old woman on the head, she feel down and hit her head on a hydrant

VIDEOSVIDEO: Black Man in Custody After Allegedly Attacking 92-Year-Old White Woman in NYC Street Attack

The fruits of diversity are on display here.

A black man was caught on surveillance video pushing a 92-year-old white woman to ground, in the type of violence that is becoming commonplace due to the rise of the racially divisive Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.

Police have brought in 31-year-old Rashid Brimmage as the suspected culprit behind the attack. Brimmage is a serial criminal who has had constant run-ins with law enforcement, but has remained out of jail because of New York City’s lax criminal justice laws.

“Thanks to the outstanding work of @NYPDDetectives, this suspect has been apprehended,” Police Commissioner Dermot Shea wrote in a tweet on Tuesday.

Authorities say that the attack took place last Friday at 3:30 pm on 3rd Avenue near East 16th Street in the Gramercy Park area. The video footage was released on Monday, which resulted in Brimmage being apprehended as the suspect because cops were very familiar with him.

Brimmage is a convicted sex offender who has more than 100 previous arrests. These are the types of folks who are being worshiped like gods because of the far-left cultural transformation that is underway. These instances of anti-white violence are becoming far more commonplace as well.

Big League Politics has reported on the terror scene in Ocean City, Md., where black mobs are targeting white people with gang violence:

A vicious black mob targeted white kids on the boardwalk in Ocean City, Md. on Tuesday night in a gruesome scene that was caught on video by a couple in a motel room. White kids were beaten senseless and presumably robbed by a large group of blacks who cackled and cheered on the thuggery as it took place.

“We are equally horrified by the actions displayed on social media video depicting violence and unruly crowds. This behavior has no place in Ocean City, and violence like this will not be tolerated. The town and OCPD are working immediately on addressing this disturbing behavior,” Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan said…

City officials are worried about how a recent wave of violence will affect tourism in the town that is known for its beaches. More businesses could shutter because of this savagery that is being unleashed…

As the Black Lives Matter terror movement gains traction throughout the country, criminal elements are feeling emboldened to rape and pillage with the police being too skittish to do much of anything to stop them.

Black Lives Matter is now publicly calling for police forces to be disbanded so the rule of the jungle can replace the rule of law nationwide.
