US: Police arrested 290 people on President Trump’s Inauguration Day on charges related to violence. 209 of the accused are facing a maximum of ten-years in jail and a fine of up to $25,000 for felony rioting charges. The charges may be difficult to prove in court due to identification problems caused by the size of the crowd and some rioters wearing masks. RT 2017 Feb 10 (Story) (Cached)
A panel of three judges on the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals refused to reinstate President Trump’s executive order that temporarily banned immigrants from seven countries. The case is likely to go to the Supreme Court. Judge Napolitano argues that the judges’ decision was wrong because it substitutes “the judgement of three judges for the President of the United States when the Constitution unambiguously gives this area of jurisdiction, foreign policy, exclusively to the president.” Fox News 2017 Feb 9 (Story)
The government of India is banning the vaccine program sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation over fears that pharmaceutical-company donors tied to the Foundation are influencing its policies on vaccination. A study from the Global Policy Forum shows that the Gates Foundation is not a neutral charity but, instead, promotes neo-liberal (collectivist) economic policies and globalization, which benefits big business, especially in the fields of health and agriculture.

Last year, Apple refused to give its encryption software for the iPhone to the FBI who said they only wanted it to investigate a terrorist. Apple said that, if itdid so, the encryption code eventually would be leaked. However, an Israeli tech firm, Cellebrite, did hack the iPhone for the FBI and gave the code to the FBI. In an ironical twist, Cellebrite reports that now it has been hacked and that its decryption tools have been put online. New World Next Week 2017 Feb 9 (Story)

Japan: Tokyo Electric Power Co reports that the radiation level near the core at Fukushima’s Reactor 2 has reached 530 sieverts per hour, far above its previous high recording of 73 sieverts per hour. (Only four sieverts would kill half of the people exposed to it). This is the first time it has been possible to get a radiation-measurement device close to the core. It is unknown, therefore, how much of the higher reading is due merely to a closer placement of the measurement device. Denver Post 2017 Feb 9 (Story) (Cached)
California: Yvette Falarca, a middle school teacher and organizer of BAMN (By Any Means Necessary), says that she was pleased with the recent UC Berkeley riots. She says that the violent event will be a blueprint for even more action against the Trump agenda. In other words, violence begetting more violence all across the country is being planned. [Of particular interest are the film clips showing that the destruction of property and setting of fires is done by men in black combat suits with masks. Watch them closely, and you will recognize that they are not protestors but professionals. This is not a grass-roots movement, but don’t expect mainstream media to focus on that fact.] Intellihub 2017 Feb 7 (Stor
Sweden: Two policemen have stepped forward to reveal the cover up of 5,000 police reports on negative activity relating to migrants. This includes theft, assaults, rape, and murder. Any calls for police action involving migrants is classified as Code 291. This is similar to Top Secret in the military. The public is not told about it, and the press must play along.

John Bates, a climate scientist with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA,) has blown the whistle on the agency. He says that, in order to create reports that support the theory of man-made global warming, the NOAA team used fraudulent data, applied methods of analysis that overstated the speed of warming, relied on software that was known to be inaccurate, never submitted data for verification by others, and failed to archive the data, making it now impossible to examine. In other words, they lied and then destroyed the evidence. Jon Rappaport 2017 Feb 6 (Story) (Cached) For a more extensive analysis, see Exposing the Myths, #2, Freedom Force International.

A man outside the Super Bowl game in Houston who identified himself as a member of Antifa, said that he believes fascism should be opposed at any cost and with any means necessary. The reporter explained that Antifa violence will bring about a police state with martial law as a response, but the leftist said that we already are in a police state. Apparently, neither the reporter nor the demonstrator are aware that the ideologies and the actions of the protestors are indistinguishable from classic fascism. InfoWars 2017 Feb 5 (Story)

An organization at the University of Central Florida, called The Knights of Socialism, is offering lessons in fighting and ‘fascist bashing’. It says the program is for self-defense against Trump-inspired hate crimes, but it is primarily aggressive in nature. The author of this article, published in Reason magazine, claims to be a Libertarian, and he applauds the efforts of The Knights of Socialism in the name of self-defense and the constitutional right to bear arms. [The author is no Libertarian. All of the violence seen on American streets since the Presidential election has been initiated by collectivist groups seeking ‘regime change’ through violence, if necessary. Nothing could be more remote from Libertarian principles than that. Under the banner of the Second Amendment, he (and Reason magazine) are preparing people to accept chaos and violence as the new norm.] Reason 2017 Feb 6 (Story) (Cached)
Vizio, one of the world’s biggest makers of Smart TVs, is paying $2.2 million to settle charges that it collected viewing habits from 11-million devices without the knowledge or consent of the people watching them. Special software collected information about the videos the TVs displayed, and that was sold for the purpose of audience analysis. Visio say it never paired this information with the identities of those who owned the TVs or who watched the programs, but the technology is in place for that to be done.
