REMEMBER THIS?

“Democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That […] is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.” — FDR

Trump has killed more than nukes.
Nukes have killed fewer people than Trump. For comparison, confirmed deaths from coronavirus in the US now exceed the Manhattan Engineer District’s direct casualty estimates of both the nuclear attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. Makes more sense if you consider that the Kremlin helped put this man in the White House. July alone already has a million confirmed COVID19 cases and we may hit five million by the end of the month. Factor in death rate this White House lovingly celebrates without taking into account rising numbers, and the pain is only beginning. Genocide!

Why TikTok’s ties to China pose a significant privacy and security risk
After reviewing TikTok’s data collection policies, lawsuits, cybersecurity white papers, past security vulnerabilities, and its privacy policy, we find TikTok to be a grave privacy threat that likely shares data with the Chinese government. We recommend everyone approach TikTok with great caution, especially if your threat model includes the questionable use of your personal data or Chinese government surveillance.

An initiative from the New York Times that reframes US history around August 1619 and the arrival of slave ships on American shores for the first time.  She tweeted: “If chattel slavery – heritable, generational, permanent, race-based slavery where it was legal to rape, torture, and sell human beings for profit – were a ‘necessary evil’ as Tom Cotton says, it’s hard to imagine what cannot be justified if it is a means to an end. “Imagine thinking a non-divisive curriculum is one that tells black children the buying and selling of their ancestors, the rape, torture, and forced labor of their ancestors for PROFIT, was just a ‘necessary evil’ for the creation of the ‘noblest’ country the world has ever seen.

Exclusive: Global banks scrutinize their Hong Kong clients for pro-democracy ties – sources
HONG KONG (Reuters) – Global wealth managers are examining whether their clients in Hong Kong have ties to the city’s pro-democracy movement, in an attempt to avoid getting caught in the crosshairs of China’s new national security law, according to six people with knowledge of the matter.
Bankers at Credit Suisse Group AG (CSGN.S), HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA.L), Julius Baer Gruppe AG (BAER.S) and UBS Group AG (UBSG.S), among others, are broadening scrutiny under their programs that screen clients for political and government ties and subjecting them to additional diligence requirements, these people said. The designation, called politically exposed persons, can make it more difficult or altogether prevent people from accessing banking services, depending on what the bank finds about the person’s source of wealth or financial transactions. The checks at some wealth managers have involved combing through comments made by clients and their associates in public and in media, and social media posts in the recent past, these people said. The new law prohibits what Beijing describes broadly as secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces, with up to life in prison for offenders. The sources, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said the broadened scrutiny of clients also applied to Hong Kong and Chinese officials who had implemented the law in anticipation of any U.S. sanctions against them.< – >
