FBI Promises To Hunt Down Anyone Who Lies About Taking COVID Vax As Vaccine Passports Loom

Via The National File

The FBI wants Americans to know that it is a crime to misrepresent your status as vaccine passports are rolled out.

After it was confirmed that the Biden regime is working with major corporations to develop a country-wide vaccine passport, and after New York began the rollout of its own vaccine passport system, the FBI is warning people against fake vaccine passports or COVID-19 vaccination cards.

“We’ve all seen friends posting their #COVID19 vaccination cards on social media,” wrote the Minneapolis branch of the FBI on social medial. “If you make or buy a fake one to misrepresent your vaccination status, you endanger other people and may also be breaking the law.”

The FBI linked to a press release from the Internet Crime Complaint Center, which reveals that federal law enforcement, including the FBI, is “advising the public to be aware of individuals selling fake COVID-19 vaccination record cards and encouraging others to print fake cards at home” and notes that “Fake vaccination record cards have been advertised on social media websites, as well as e-commerce platforms and blogs.”

“If you did not receive the vaccine, do not buy fake vaccine cards, do not make your own vaccine cards, and do not fill-in blank vaccination record cards with false information,” the press release explains, “By misrepresenting yourself as vaccinated when entering schools, mass transit, workplaces, gyms, or places of worship, you put yourself and others around you at risk of contracting COVID-19.”

“Additionally, the unauthorized use of an official government agency’s seal (such as HHS or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)) is a crime, and may be punishable under Title 18 United States Code, Section 1017, and other applicable laws.”

Vaccine Passports Are A Serious Threat To American Civil Liberties

Via The Federalist

Are Americans supposed to accept that the government, private employers, and businesses such as airlines and Costco may stop you and demand that you show your COVID-19 papers?

With the advent of the deceptively named “vaccine passport” concept, coronavirus vaccines have quickly turned from savior hailed by an American populace desperate for a return to some semblance of normalcy into a cudgel with which to beat the vaccine heterodox into submission. Add the relentless desire for Big Tech to collect all data it can suck into a rapacious corporate maw to be digested into more profits and more power over our lives, and you have a perfect storm of tyranny.

Currently, the COVID-19 vaccines are not U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved, but authorized only for emergency use. As an investigational product, the statute governing emergency use authorizations provides that the recipient be advised of his or her option to accept or refuse administration of the vaccine, something a DC District court considered in a 2003 case that ruled against forcing soldiers to take the then-experimental anthrax vaccine (suspiciously, the vaccine was deemed “safe” not long after the court enjoined mandatory vaccination, although there are numerous claims that the anthrax vaccination program has led to debilitating side effects).

President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed vaccine development program was unprecedented. It normally takes several years for FDA approval of a vaccine and several phases like an exploratory stage, clinical trials, and quality control. While many are comfortable taking the vaccine now, others may wish to wait, or decline altogether.

Some had the disease and survived it with antibodies. Some have physical limitations that do not allow inoculation, and others have religious and moral objections. For example, the Johnson and Johnson vaccine was developed using a retinal cell line developed from an electively aborted fetus in 1985.

A Right to Be Left Alone

We have a constitutionally implied fundamental right to privacy; various guarantees in the Bill of Rights “have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance…creat[ing] “zones of privacy.” Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, 484 (1965). The right to privacy encompasses everything from what we do in the privacy of our own bedrooms, to how we educate our children, and to what we choose to insert into our bodies.

The right to privacy also incorporates a right to be left alone, a concept dating as far back as an 1890 Harvard Law Review Article by Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis, in which they noted that our laws are universal and eternal, “grow[ing] to meet the new demands of society.” As time passed, “[g]radually the scope of [] legal rights broadened; and now the right to life has come to mean the right to enjoy life, — the right to be let alone; the right to liberty secures the exercise of extensive civil privileges…”

Being forced to carry sensitive personal health information on apps is highly problematic from a privacy standpoint.

Put the Woke Corporations to Sleep

Via The American Spectator

All day long, they pander to leftist lies. Give us a break.

Georgia finally enacted some laws to protect ethical voting. My American Spectator colleague, David Catron, refers to these laws as “election integrity laws” — and that is what they are.

“Jim Crow”? What on G-d’s Earth are the leftist Crazies talking about? What are the Leftists saying?

… that Blacks and Hispanics do not want election integrity?

… that Blacks and Hispanics, 158 years after slavery ended, do not have access to a photo ID?

… that Blacks and Hispanics, 158 years after slavery ended, cannot figure out how to vote honestly and need vote harvesters?

… that Blacks and Hispanics, 158 years after slavery ended, do not want integrity at the voting booth?

Before the COVID pandemic, when I flew, I always saw Black and Hispanic people at the airport standing on TSA lines just as I was standing. I needed a photo ID to get past the security checkpoints. How did Black and Hispanic passengers do it? Were they given unilateral exemption from having photo ID at the airport in order to overcome “Jim Crow”? Were their baggages and luggages not X-rayed? While TSA was forcing 100-year-old wheelchair-bound nuns in habits to take their shoes off, were Blacks and Hispanics exempted to overcome “Jim Crow”?

I don’t think so.

I am sick of this. I am so very darned sick of this, the Big Lie that this kindest and most tolerant country in the history of humanity is plagued with “systemic racism.” Slavery ended 158 years ago. More White men — the Privileged White Males — are buried in cemeteries throughout the United States because they gave their lives fighting to end slavery than died for any other reason or cause in all of American history. Today’s society of Privileged White Men have acquiesced to a half-century of affirmative action for college and graduate school admissions and special government advantages given to “minority-owned businesses.” We elected a Black man to be president of the United States despite his being an utterly unqualified candidate, a community organizer who affiliated with a racist church and a rabidly hateful racist pastor, a one-term senator whose main claim to qualify seems to have been that Joe Biden called him “clean…. That’s a storybook, man!” Imagine that — a clean Black man! That was the racist Joe Biden’s certification for that impostor to become an American president.

If Blacks in America 2021 cannot figure out how to vote within an election integrity framework, Americans deserve to know why — because the Blacks and Hispanics I know all are honest enough, smart enough, and ethical enough to want election integrity as much as White people do. If Blacks cannot acquire a photo ID in this country in the year 2021, Americans deserve to know why. Who is holding them back? The White Privileged Male class? Prove it.

Court Docs: Ahmaud Arbery Regularly Faked Being a Jogger as Cover to Commit Robberies

Via Big League Politics

25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery became a national icon after being shot dead in Georgia after trying to wrestle a firearm away from concerned citizens last year.

As usual, the Black Lives Matter mob lionized Arbery despite understanding zero facts of the case. The truth of the matter indicates exactly how divorced from reality their narrative has become.

Court documents in the murder trial of Travis and Greg McMichael indicate that Arbery was known as the “jogger” because he regularly acted like he was on a run as he committed robberies through town.

“In 2019 and 2020, local convenience store witness interviews reveal Mr. Arbery became known as “the jogger” for his repeated conduct and behavior of running up, stretching in front in, and then entering several convenience stores where he would grab items and run out before he could be caught,” the court documents read.

There is apparently video evidence of Arbery engaging in this type of behavior too.

“On August 21, 2018, Burke County witness reports and Burke County Office body cam video reveals Mr. Arbery was caught by a stay-at-home mom who saw him in her backyard looking into the windows of her cars. She called police who found Mr. Arbery at his grandmother’s residence,” the court documents state.

“Police officers arrived to give Mr. Arbery a trespass warning about his conduct and behavior. When confronted by officers about the eye-witness report, he lied and said he had “gone running in the street,” and then became aggressive, confrontational, and repeatedly threatened he would “whip the officer’s ass” if they didn’t leave him alone. He was not arrested,” they continue.

The court documents paint the picture of Arbery as a serial criminal who was coddled by a weak criminal justice system increasingly gamed to let thugs terrorize property owners.

“In 2019 and 2020, witness interviews reveal Mr. Arbery was seen by his own neighbors, removing screen from windows and trying [to] enter their homes through the windows. When confronted by the neighbors about his conduct and behavior, he appeared “nervous or agitated” and “trying to figure out where to go.” Then he said he was interested in buy[ing] the house but “took off running.” On the second occasion, the home owner observed Arbery trying to gain entrance through a door. They again tried to talk to Mr. Arbery but he would not speak or say anything, he simply ran away,” the court documents read.

Unclear How Bad Mass Shooting Is Until Authorities Release Details Of Everyone’s Skin Color

Via The Babylon Bee

U.S.—According to media reports, there has been a mass shooting. As of now, it is unclear how bad the mass shooting is, or whether anyone should care about it– since authorities have not yet released the skin colors of the perpetrator and the victims.

“It’s possible this could be a horrific mass shooting we will talk about for years to come,” said one news anchor. “On the other hand, it may just be a run-of-the-mill mass shooting that we’ll forget by tomorrow since it doesn’t fit the narrative we are trying to sell right now. For the time being, please be sure to assume this shooting confirms all your most horrific biases about the state of our country. Stay tuned for more details– unless we decide you don’t really need to hear more details.”

Already, social media is buzzing with speculation and anger, confirming everything everyone already knew about how horrible the groups of people who they think are so horrible really are.

“Not surprised,” said one American. “This is America– the country where the exact people I hate are as horrible as I thought they were.”

The media has assured they will probably just hold off on reporting further details until the preferred narrative has had time to run its course.
