Happy Monday Deplorables, the communist lockdowns are starting to ease unless you are unfortunate enough to live in California, Michigan, or Illinois where you are totally fucked.

More than 900 Missouri residents who ‘snitched’ on lockdown rule-breakers fear retaliation after their details are leaked online

Via The Daily Mail

Hundreds of people have been exposed for reporting people who have flouted social distancing rules and some are now scared they could receive a backlash.

The names and addresses of approximately 900 people in Missouri were released as part of a media request under the Sunshine Law, which allows for the release of information submitted to a public agency (except for wrongdoing and abuse tips).

St. Louis County had urged the community to share details of anyone not following guidelines in response to the coronavirus pandemic and noted in the terms and conditions that information may be shared publicly.

However some people may not have read the small print submitted tips via an online form and email from the end of March.

Many had asked for their communications to remain private.

Still the documents published online ended up being shared on social media and one man, Jared Totsch, helped it spread further as he posted in a Facebook group: ‘Here ya go. The gallery of snitches, busybodies, and employees who rat out their own neighbors and employers over the Panic-demic.’

The complaints resulted in 29 businesses receiving citations in April and now people are worried they may get fired as a result of reporting the company they work for, or that other people may retaliate.

‘I’m not only worried about COVID, I’m worried about someone showing up at my door, showing up at my workplace or me getting fired for doing what is right,’ a tipster named Patricia told KSDK.

‘When there is something that happens next time, I’m not going to feel safe or protected enough to call the local authorities.’

No, We Don’t Need To Foster A Culture Of Snitching To Stay Safe

Via The Federalist

One of the unsettling trends to emerge from these lockdowns is the penchant for some public officials to encourage snitching on neighbors and businesses that don’t comply with social distancing rules or whatever edict a governor or mayor decides to promulgate on a given day.

This week it was Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who, like many other governors across the country announced a partial reopening of his state as the spread of the coronavirus slows. But Polis wasn’t content simply to announce the new guidelines. He had to lecture Coloradans on their behavior and warn them he might yank the reopening if they don’t behave.

“If we slack off, if Coloradans let up, if less people are wearing masks when they are in public, if stores aren’t being careful and personal services aren’t being careful about following the guidelines that we put out today, then it’s likely that additional restrictions might have to come back,” he said.

For one thing, Polis shouldn’t be obsessing over what safety measures business owners put in place—they’re not children, they can figure it out—he should be watching hospitalizations and COVID-19 fatalities. Remember that the entire purpose of lockdowns and social distancing wasn’t to stop the spread of the virus but to slow it down so hospitals wouldn’t be overwhelmed.

That’s the metric that matters, and Polis, like other officials lately, is subtly trying to move the goalposts. (In a guest op-ed for the Denver Post, he suggested his social distancing orders might have to remain in place until there’s a cure or a vaccine, which “could take months, even years.”)

But Polis went one step further and said people should report businesses that aren’t doing what local public health officials and the Colorado attorney general say they should do. “We know that the people of Colorado will tell us if there’s a store that’s not implementing social distancing.”

This isn’t just infantilizing and un-American, it’s insulting to businesses that are trying to weather an unprecedented economic crisis, and it’s insulting to the tens of millions of American who have become unemployed thanks to government-enforced lockdowns.

Polis isn’t alone in his fondness for snitching. New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio, who recently issued a disturbing warning to the city’s Jewish community that they’d better not gather in large groups or he’d have them rounded up, set up a 311 “snitch line” earlier this month so neighbors could inform on one another. It didn’t go well.

The idea was to have New Yorkers “snap a photo” of businesses that weren’t social distancing. Instead, trolls flooded the line with dick pics and Hitler memes, so the city shut it down.

In Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti made headlines in early April when he said “snitches get rewards”—his awkward, unfunny play on “snitches get stitches.” To the snitches, he said, “We want to thank you for turning folks in and making sure we are all safe.”

Dem Group To Target Trump Supporters Online Using Anti-Terrorist Technology

By Chris Donaldson aka Donn Marten

In a chilling escalation of the left’s war on America, a Democrat front group will utilize techniques developed to combat ISIS propaganda to conduct a search and destroy campaign against Trump supporters online.

According to a terrifying report by the Washington Post, the assault on free speech will be spearheaded by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal through a political action committee with the Orwellian moniker of Defeat Disinfo.

The radical left, led by Democrats who are determined to regain political power by any means necessary has been given a gift from heaven with the coronavirus pandemic and the Draconian measures that media-generated hysteria has enabled.

The WAPO reports that the group’s objective will be to utilize “artificial intelligence and network analysis” as well as hiring “influencers” to create a cyber army that will target those who support the duly elected POTUS and censor with extreme prejudice.

For conservatives who thought that Google, Facebook, and Twitter were bad with purges and banning, you haven’t seen anything yet because this report shows how serious that these people are to eradicate opposing viewpoints.

Via Stars & Stripes, “Initiative seeks to challenge Trump’s online megaphone”:

A new Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, is planning to deploy technology originally developed to counter Islamic State propaganda in service of a domestic political goal – to combat online efforts to promote President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

The group, Defeat Disinfo, will use artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media. It will seek to intervene by identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country – in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president.

The initiative reflects fears within the Democratic Party that Trump’s unwavering digital army may help sustain him through the pandemic, as it has through past controversies, even as the economy craters, tens of thousands have died, and Trump suffers in the polls.

“It’s often said campaigns are a battle of ideas, but they’re really a battle of narratives,” said David Eichenbaum, a Democratic media consultant who is a senior adviser to the PAC. “Today those narratives spread quickly online.”

The initiative is run by Curtis Hougland, whose received initial funding for the technology from DARPA, the Pentagon’s research arm, as part of an effort to combat extremism overseas. He insists Democrats are ill-prepared for the looming battle over information and attention, which is bound to play an outsize role in November.

—

Hougland said his aim is to maintain the “largest repository of content against Trump,” and to be nimble in boosting organic material that is already performing well, such as videos produced by the Biden campaign.

The presumptive Democratic nominee, whose primary bid counted on the gulf between Twitter and real life, has sought to expand his digital prowess as campaigning has gone fully virtual. He anchors a new podcast, and his campaign is plugging virtual rallies with mantras like “#SoulSaturday” designed to compete with Trump’s digital reach.

The recruitment of McChrystal shows that the resistance is bringing in the big guns now that the coronavirus has effectively suspended the Constitution.

McChrystal was the former Commander of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) who was credited for the killing of the infamous terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi but he also received criticism over the “friendly fire” death of former NFL player and U.S. Army Ranger Pat Tillman.

Once a golden boy of President Barack Obama, General McChrystal fell out of favor after an ambush by Rolling Stone magazine writer Michael Hastings that revealed mockery of U.S. political officials including then-Vice President Joe Biden.

After “The Runaway General” was published in 2010, McChrystal was summoned back to Washington by Emperor Obama and forced to resign.

McChrystal stopped short of endorsing Biden which shouldn’t be surprise considering his comments in the Rolling Stone article:

“Are you asking about Vice President Biden?” McChrystal says with a laugh. “Who’s that?”

“Biden?” suggests a top adviser. “Did you say: Bite Me?”

According to the WAPO story, McChrystal justified his status as a hired gun for the Democrats with a new mission of “…ensuring the accuracy of information leading up to the election, even if it involves chasing viral attention with emotional appeals and other tactics rewarded by online clicks.”

There is already bad blood between President Trump and McChrystal.

The runaway general blasted the POTUS as “immoral” and dishonest during a 2019 interview with ABC’s Martha Raddatz leading to a counterattack by Trump who hammered him:

Per Trump:

“General” McChrystal got fired like a dog by Obama. Last assignment a total bust. Known for big, dumb mouth. Hillary lover!”

That General McChrystal would end up as a mercenary for the resistance should not be any surprise and he could be angling for a position in either a Biden or Clinton administration of the forces of darkness are successful in taking out Trump in November.

This alarming development is further evidence of the contempt for democracy and the rights of the 63 million Americans who voted for President Trump that Democrats hold.

They now find it acceptable to utilize anti-terrorist military cyberwarfare tactics against them and if they are this extreme now, anything is possible if they manage to regain control over the entire U.S. political system.

Welcome to the new totalitarian America, a place where if Democrats get their way, any who disagree with them will be marginalized and severely punished.

Rebel Alliance Ground Reports – What’s Your Current Lockdown Status?…

Via The Conservative Treehouse

The Ministry of Covid Compliance is reminding us this week how the virus has a genetic targeting mechanism able to differentiate between essential cans of vegetables, bottles of liquor, lottery tickets and non-essential products like sneakers and paint. Thus the Ministry is able to help us better understand the lock-down policy.

We’ve been piling into crowded supermarkets for seven weeks buying food, and we are allowed to purchase liquor and lottery tickets; those purchases are deemed safe by the state; however, it is critical for viral control that we not purchase sneakers or other hazardous items which pose a greater threat of proximity transmission.

Similarly 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 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.

To avoid an increased infection rate it is critical for American citizens to understand the importance of only visiting Home Depot, Lowes, Costco, WalMart and other large institutional retail systems who maintain influential lobbying offices near the Covid Mitigation Ministry.

Effective compliance and mitigation requires that everyone must avoid the small business operations where the virus is more prone to hide out and attack consumers. The scientific data-hubs in/around K-Street in Washington DC must lead our careful decision-making.

Remember, the Ministry is working closely with regional governors to outline the greatest threat. Walking on a golf course in Massachusetts is safe-behavior; however, if you carry a particularly shaped stick and swing it at a ball, the virus will immediately target you.

These granular distinctions are very important to understand.

In the Ministry of Delaware food trucks are now permitted to operate; however, if you attempt to purchase a dress for Mothers Day, you are putting society at risk.

Currently in most regions the virus is allowing dogs and cats to have their fur trimmed; however, if a human attempts to commercially reduce the length of you sideburns it will create a viral hot-spot potentially putting the health of our planet at risk.

The rebel alliance has noted that specifically random viral targeting appears much more prevalent in the regions where people formerly wore genitalia on their heads. There is a possibility this could be propaganda because there is not enough conclusive scientific data assembled to quantify the merit of this claim. Confirmation efforts remain ongoing.

In almost all regions of ministry control, furniture purchasing seems like one of the most potentially dangerous activities. Out of an abundance of caution these consumer hubs of activity have been shut-down; however, the Ministry is evaluating how the virus would respond if cans of vegetables were placed within the building.

According to the most extensive study conducted so far, commercial buildings with cans of vegetables appear to be the safest venue allowing congregation and proximity. It is unknown if moving canned foods and sandwiches into the furniture stores, or other less traveled venues, would transfer the benefits of virus mitigation. The Ministry has a teleconference with scientists and industry experts scheduled later this week to analyze this question.

In the interim, the Ministry would like to remind you the greatest danger is the type of purchasing you make. Large box retailers with dense populations are safe-spaces. Smaller business with less density are hazards; and houses of religious worship are death traps due to their propensity to promote the most critically dangerous activity of all, fellowship.

Remember, we are all in this together; and to prove how critical this is to our society we must all stay apart.

BOMBSHELL: Harvard Admits Faculty Members Flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ After Child Sex Conviction

Via Big League Politics

Harvard was forced to make this embarrassing admission.

On Friday, Harvard University released the findings of their investigation regarding the prestigious institution’s connections with deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and the findings were shocking.

Harvard admitted that many faculty members wined and dined with Epstein, even after he was convicted of child sex acts in 2008. Epstein even had his own office in Harvard that he could use at his own discretion.

Although the top leaders at Harvard officially cut ties with Epstein after his conviction, influential faculty members continued to do business with him. He was particularly close with Martin Nowak, a math professor who led the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics for the university, which was created by a $6.5 million grant from Epstein in 2003.

Through his connections with Nowak, Epstein had Office 610 reserved for himself at Harvard Square. It was commonly known as “Jeffrey’s Office,” and he regularly met with the university’s top scholars there. He even had a key card and unlimited access to the building. This was against university protocol, but everyone seemingly looked the other way to accommodate the child sex fiend.

It wasn’t just Nowak who was cavorting with the pedophile. Harvard acknowledged that a wide variety of their personnel partied with Epstein and jetsetted throughout the world aboard his infamous “Lolita Express” plane that was used for child sex trafficking.

“A number of the Harvard faculty members we interviewed also acknowledged that they visited Epstein in his homes in New York, Florida, New Mexico or the Virgin Islands, visited him in jail or on work release, or traveled on one of his planes. Faculty members told us that they undertook these off-campus activities primarily in their personal capacities rather than as representatives of Harvard. These actions did not implicate Harvard rules or policies,” the investigation concluded.

Nowak is being thrown under the bus as Harvard attempts to salvage their reputation in lieu of these disgraceful and lascivious revelations.

“We do not take this step lightly, but the seriousness of the matter leads us to believe it is not appropriate for Professor Nowak to continue in his role,” wrote Claudine Gay, dean of Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

Restaurateur Defied Maine Gov To Open His Business, State Agents Are Moving To Shut Him Down

Via The Daily Wire

State officials pulled a Maine restaurant’s health and liquor licenses after the owner opened up in defiance of Democratic Gov. Janet Mills’ emergency shutdown order.

Rick Savage, owner of Sunday River Brewing Co. in Bethel, opened his restaurant and bar on May 1 after openly challenging Mills on an appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” the evening before. After Savage reopened, officials from the state health department revoked the health and liquor licenses he needs to operate.

“We’ve tried to call the governor; you can’t even get ahold of them. The lawmakers are left in the dark, both Republicans and Democrats. She’s doing this all rogue on her own,” Savage said on Fox News on April 30. “We’ve had enough of it. We are encouraging all businesses in Maine to open up. We never should have been shut down in the first place. We need to open back up.”

Savage purportedly read Mills’ cell phone number live on air at the end of the interview while host Tucker Carlson attempted to cut him off. The business owner encouraged people to call Mills and protest her shutdown order.

—

Savage defied Mills’ extension of the stay-at- order and reopened at noon on May 1. Crowds of people from across the state came to Sunday River Brewing to support the restaurant until it closed early on Friday after state officials revoked its license to operate.

“I think it’s ridiculous. I think it’s totally ridiculous,” Savage said in an interview after his business closed on Friday. Mills was coming after him in retaliation for making her “look bad” on Carlson’s show and for defying her order, he said.

The restaurateur has vowed to keep his restaurant and bar open and is encouraging other businesses to join him in a class action lawsuit against the state government. Savage is launching an online donation page to pay his and other businesses owners’ fines for operating during the shutdown.

Under Maine law, people caught violating an executive order are subject to a $1,000 fine and six months in jail. Savage does not expect to be arrested, but he may be fined up to three times a day for violating the stay-at- order, operating a restaurant without a license, and selling alcohol without a license.
