The thoughtpolice are a law unto themselves

Why can’t we get rid of ‘non-crime hate incidents’?

Britain’s thoughtpolice are a law unto themselves. Nothing captures this more clearly than the continued existence of the ‘non-crime hate incident’ (NCHI) – a policing tool that refuses to die. At the weekend, the Daily Mail reported that the Home Office is drawing up new plans to increase the use of NCHIs, as part of its new hate-crime strategy. There are fears this could effectively criminalise comedians like Ricky Gervais for joking about trans issues.

NCHIs are a sinister form of thoughtpolicing. They can be recorded by the police whenever someone is accused of showing ‘hostility towards religion, race or transgender identity’. There does not need to be any evidence of hate – just as with hate crimes more broadly, the only requirement is that the victim or anyone else perceives the motive of the non-crime incident to have been hateful. In other words, literally anything can be logged as a hate incident.

Tim Hortons faces scrutiny over app’s tracking of customers

The tracking capabilities of the Tim Hortons app – which more than one in 10 Canadians use at least once a month – are the subject of legal probes, launched in 2020, that have raised questions about whether the company gathers too much information about its customers through their smartphones.

World Economic Forum speakers signal a coming dystopian nightmare

Brave New World? You decide.

J. Michael Evans, president of the Alibaba Group– a Chinese multinational technology company—bragged at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland: “We’re developing through technology an ability for consumers to measure their own carbon footprint. What does that mean? That’s where are they traveling, how are they traveling, what are they eating, what are they consuming on the platform?”

Exposing the ‘Digital ID is a Human Right’ Scam

A major component of the Great Reset-Technocratic Agenda is the implementation of a worldwide digital identity scheme. One of the first steps to realize this goal is to convince the public that digital identity programs are a “human right” worth fighting for.

Why is the push for digital identity absolutely vital to the Technocrats visions?

The world of 2030 — the one in which the World Economic Forum imagines “you will own nothing and be happy” — depends on an all-encompassing digital id program. This digital ID will allow a track and trace society where the authorities can see every purchase and every move you make.

Trudeau gov’t pushes to make ‘digital identity’ and facial recognition a requirement for air travel

Four unidentified air carriers are apparently on board with ‘biometric travel documents.’

Canada’s Liberal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that it is working with top airlines in the hopes to mandate all travelers use a form of “digital identity documents” complete with facial recognition biometric data for pre-boarding flights.

According to a May 14 statement published in the Canada Gazette on Regulations Amending the Secure Air Travel Regulations and the Designated Provisions Regulations, Canada’s Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness spoke about such “digital” travel documents during an air travel participant exercise.

New Tools Being Provided to Security Agencies to Counter ‘Extremist Ideology’ and ‘Misinformation,’ Says Trudeau

Investments in new tools for Canada’s security agencies to deal with “extremist ideology” and “misinformation” are being made by the government, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.

“We need new tools to fight all of these pending threats, and that’s why we’ve turned to all of our security agencies to look at new ways of ensuring peoples’ safety,” Trudeau said in French while addressing media in Vancouver on May 24.

“Because, as we know, what happens in the virtual world has impact in the real world. It doesn’t stay on the internet.”

Trudeau is the threat.

Majority Report: Canada’s Latest Advance in Precognitive Legislation

The 2002 film Minority Report was a box office success and, like the Matrix franchise, emerged as one of the most talked-about movies of recent times. The crux of the film involved a “precrime” policing unit that could act to prevent crimes before they were committed, on evidence provided by a team of comatose subjects with precognitive abilities. Of course, the plot was utterly absurd, demanding major suspension of viewer disbelief, but nonetheless provocative in its social and political implications.

The ‘Mary Poppins of Disinformation’ Fails to Grasp Why She Was Dis-employed

Nina Jankowicz, the former director of the Disinformation Governance Board, made a video where she referred to herself as “The Mary Poppins of Disinformation.”

To be charitable, she should keep her day job.

Automobile ‘kill switch’ law to spy on and control Americans

President Joe Biden recently signed a law mandating (persondating?) that all new vehicles sold after 2026 must be equipped with electronic “kill switches.” These switches could conceivably be used by government officials — or hackers — to seize control of one’s car without permission or oversight.

Oddly enough, the law was essentially hidden inside of the administration’s LGBTQ-friendly $1.2-trillion infrastructure bill that was passed late last year.

Congress Passes Bill Giving Biden Regime Sweeping New Domestic Spying Powers

The legislation, the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022, gives the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) increased snooping powers in order to target domestic threats. This will inevitably be used against patriotic Americans, who have been demonized as terrorists since the Jan. 6 protest at the U.S. Capitol.

CRTC Chair Confirms Bill C-11 Captures User Content, Will Take Years to Implement

CRTC Chair Ian Scott appeared before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage yesterday and Bill C-11 proved to be a popular topic of discussion. The exchanges got testy at times as Scott seemingly stepped outside of his role as an independent regulatory by regularly defending government legislation, even veering into commenting on newspapers, which clearly falls outside the CRTC’s jurisdiction. With respect to Bill C-11, most newsworthy were two comments regarding the regulation of user content and the timelines for implementing the bill if it receives royal assent.

Disinformation Killed the Disinformation Board, Says Its Former Chief

If only Old Joe Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board had been in place to protect the Disinformation Governance Board! The ardently partisan Biden wonk who had been all set to be crowned America’s Disinformation Czarina, Nina Jankowicz, appeared on MSNBC’s “All In” Wednesday to lament that the coronation has now been “paused,” and it’s all the fault of those evil right-wingers who had the temerity to be concerned that a government agency dedicated to combating “disinformation” could all too easily become a tool of authoritarians who wished to quash dissent. Jankowicz is shocked, shocked, that anyone could have thought that at all, and finds it “ironic” that disinformation killed the Disinformation Board. If only it had been up and running to silence and punish the miscreants.

BREAKING: Biden admin to ‘pause’ Disinformation Governance Board after backlash

Following concerns being raised in regards to the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board, launched three weeks ago, the department is reportedly putting this project on a “pause.”

According to The Washington Post, multiple employees working within the DHS said that the program is being “paused” just three weeks after its announcement.

DARPA wants to model how ‘disinformation’ flows from fringe to mainstream platforms

According to DARPA, “The discovery of pathways and patterns will move our understanding of information operations from today’s current focus on individual users, messages, memes, or campaigns to a higher level, structural and temporal understanding of how these operations unfold.”

In modeling the flow of information, the Pentagon’s research funding arm could potentially give the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a powerful tool for its incoming “Disinformation Governance Board,” which critics are already calling the “Ministry of Truth.”
