But Huaweiâs plans for 6G and beyond make U.S. concerns over 5G look paltry: Huawei is proposing a fundamental internet redesign, which it calls âNew IP,â designed to build âintrinsic securityâ into the web. Intrinsic security means that individuals must register to use the internet, and authorities can shut off an individual userâs internet access at any time. In short, Huawei is looking to integrate Chinaâs âsocial credit,â surveillance, and censorship regimes into the internetâs architecture.

so, my bro and i decided to play a 7 round match over 7 months, one each month.
on each hole a coin is flipped to determine stroke or match play.
.5 points for winning the stroke portion, .5 for winning the match portion, .5 BONUS if ya win them both.
we had no coins…he had a jamaican $20 coin in his bag, we used that. it has marcus garvey on the front, and 20 on the back. 20 for stroke, marcus for match. eeezyyy right?
well, yinz need a trophy to play for, so i got a nice old london made pewter pint mug. good stuff.
ya need a trophy base, right? so i modified a cigar box and made a a little chalk board with two jamacian 20’s to fit in the lid so that the other members can see the progress and score. one coin is garvey, the other is the 20. it looks great too. i did a nice job.
we call it the marcus garvey cup, ya know why? b/c raaaaaacissss. well, its the only the coin we had on us when the tourney started. but raaaaaacissss.

Garvey believed in economic independence for the African diaspora and through UNIA set about to achieve that through the formation of ventures like the Black Star Line and the Negro Factories Corporation.[406] In Garvey’s opinion, “without commerce and industry, a people perish economically.

The FBI confirmed Hole was temporarily placed in a mental health facility last year after his mother raised concerns that he wanted to take his life through police. “In March 2020, the suspectâs mother contacted law enforcement to report he might try to commit âsuicide by cop,'” FBI Special Agent in Charge Paul Keenan said in a statement obtained by NBC News

A shotgun was seized from the suspect’s home upon the concerns raised by his mother, and he was interviewed by the FBI in April 2020. No racially motivated violent extremism was suspected of Hole. His shotgun was not returned to him, the FBI said.
The article also says he was a former employee. The pic shows him to be a bit of a dweeb.

It cannot be stated strongly enough that Brearleyâs obsession with race must stop. It should be abundantly clear to any thinking parent that Brearley has completely lost its way. The administration and the Board of Trustees have displayed a cowardly and appalling lack of leadership by appeasing an anti-intellectual, illiberal mob, and then allowing the school to be captured by that same mob. What follows are my own personal views on Brearley’s antiracism initiatives, but these are just a handful of the criticisms that I know other parents have expressed.
I object to the view that I should be judged by the color of my skin. I cannot tolerate a school that not only judges my daughter by the color of her skin, but encourages and instructs her to prejudge others by theirs. By viewing every element of education, every aspect of history, and every facet of society through the lens of skin color and race, we are desecrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and utterly violating the movement for which such civil rights leaders believed, fought, and died.
I object to the charge of systemic racism in this country, and at our school. Systemic racism, properly understood, is segregated schools and separate lunch counters. It is the interning of Japanese and the exterminating of Jews.

Crypto is a trap.
Think about this scenario. Call me crazy if you want, but I’ve been doing this a long time (systems analysis).
You’ve got a ‘currency’ that has no basis in the real world. It’s bits in a computer. A computer requires electricity. Verification of every crypto transaction is called ‘mining’ and the process for that is so resource intensive in terms of computer/electric resources that it strains power grids in underdeveloped countries where people can earn a lot, relatively speaking, for verifying the transactions.
Add to that resource load the push for electric transportation. Ford, et. al, who have said all the cars they will produce after such and such a date will be electric, have been told the grid infrastructure is not there to support the load.
Now demand the majority of electric power be supplied by ‘green’ sources. Solar, turbines, whatever. None of which, even in combination, can support the grid that’s in place now.
Constant computer ‘money’ with mining that is unbelievably demanding of the electric resources and what happens? The grid crashes.
Where is your ‘money’?
My crypto portfolio is over 300 bucks now and that’s all from free crypto from their tutorials. Just shifted it around a bit into a couple of things I thought would be a bit more profitable down the road and they went up.

There may not be some huge conspiracy but without a doubt there are a massive number of pedos and ephebophiles in power. I think the ranting and raving about Qanon is a smokescreen in order to help cover for these scumbags. And yes, expose after expose on television has shown that pedos do ACTUALLY have organization and an active network. They exchange videos, photos, and even children. They are incredibly active online and effective at covering their tracks, so Qanon isn’t to horribly far off in their ideas. Where they truly miss their mark is their delusion that there is some great organization and plan to stop this horror.

In 5 years Bluff will be a goat town with thousands of redundancies in the surrounding area. The energy from the Bluff smelters will go to massive crypto IT facility alongside ghe dam that will use the power supporting crypto mining work. NOTHING will flow from the facility except gold standard guarantees that the stored 0 and 1 s are all legit.

Though there is quite a bit of transparency built in if you know where to look. The tutorials on coinbase show how to do it. In a way it’s like being an investor on the stock market and having access to all the data on the crypto you are invested in. Each crypto lays out what their rise and fall is tied to and you can make judgements based on that. Most of it is over my head so I kind of let it slide. I did see one that I could tell right off was going to make a huge jump and dumped several underperforming ones and transferred them over to it and my portforlio jump from under 100 to over 300 in about two weeks. So, going with my gut in that case paid off. Unlike my micro-stocks. Who thought investing in ammo and weed under this administration would be a losing proposition.

TAIPEIâThe worst drought in half a century is hitting Taiwan, adding strain to an island that is home to two-thirds of the world semiconductor manufacturing capacity during the worst global chip shortage in recent memory.
The droughtâs impact on semiconductor producers, which require voluminous quantities of water to churn out chips, is so far modest as the government creates exceptions for these manufacturers. But companies are starting to make adjustments, and officials have warned that the water shortage could worsen without adequate rainfall.
Taiwanâs semiconductor wafer-fabrication factories, or fabs, account for 65% of global production, according to the research firm TrendForce. Most of that capacity belongs to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. , the worldâs biggest contract chip maker.
âTaiwan is the center of gravity for semiconductor manufacturing,â said Syed Alam, global lead of the semiconductors practice at Accenture. âThis is one thing you donât need adding more pressure on the situation.â
Seasonal typhoons provide Taiwan with much of its water reserves. But a lack of storms last year has strained supplies, prompting the government to start rationing water for more than a million businesses and residents.

There was an article a long time ago that pointed out markers on the virus showing how it “could have” been engineered from the existing strains, but it’s been so long I don’t think I could find it. Any search now is flooded with nothing but article “showing” how it only could have evolved “naturally” from existing strains. Which as far as I know is actually impossible to prove only conjecture.
Once again their side shows they are the “science based” people. The doubters put out information showing that there are markers the virus “may have” been engineered. Their side puts out information stating that the virus absolutely evolved naturally and there is “no way” it was created.
Sorry, but I’m not an expert but as far as I know the differences are so slim that there is no way to be 100% certain yet they are acting as if they already know everything.

Michigan set to make coronavirus restrictions on businesses permanent
The state of Michigan is moving to make the stateâs emergency coronavirus restrictions permanent.
Michiganâs regulatory agencies plan to make COVID-19 rules such as mask wearing, social distancing, daily health screenings, record-keeping, and keeping a âCOVID-19 safety coordinatorâ on-site permanent for Michigan businesses. Businesses would be forced to require their customers wear masks, whether or not they have been vaccinated against the virus.
Other proposed permanent rules include requiring sports stadiums to âestablish safe exit procedures for patrons,â with dismissing fans by section listed as a possible option.

The Tennessee Senate passed a bill that would ban government issued âvaccine passportsâ in the state.
âA state or local governmental official, entity, department, or agency shall not require, or mandate that a private business require, proof of vaccination against COVID-19 as a condition of entering upon the premises of the business or utilizing services provided by the business,” the bill states.
The stateâs Republican-controlled Senate passed the bill Wednesday 27-3, and it includes stripping public health powers from county boards of health, moving them instead to an advisory role.

yeah, I posted about it the other day. Steve Bannon was talking about Thiel’s remarks which is how I picked up on it. The thing I think some people are missing about cypto is that anyone can invent one, it’s just a mirage. The one thing that makes it viable is blockchain tech. That is what allows it to be decentralized. China doesn’t like decentralized, therefore China should be trying to corner not the currency but the blockchain tech. And that’s where it’s caught between a rock and a hard place. Because it’s the blockchain verification that is killing the grids. If you follow the imbedded link to the article about illegal mining in Mongolia (and who ever thought THAT would be a headline?)
But the industry has contracted since then, in the face of ever tighter government regulation, and has just taken another blow: The provincial government of Inner Mongolia issued (in Chinese) draft measures to âclean up and shut downâ all cryptocurrency mining operations by the end of April 2021.
The new rules are not specifically targeted at crypto: They are intended to rein in all energy intensive industries (Inner Mongolia was the only province to fail a central government review of energy consumption last year). Aside from crypto mining, they will also limit PVC, steel, coke, and methanol production. But the Inner Mongolian energy crackdown adds yet another difficulty for Chinaâs crypto miners, who set up operations in the province because of cheap electricity produced using locally-mined coal. And miners need a lot of electricity: The bitcoin economy uses more electricity annually than the whole of Argentina, according to analysis by researchers at Cambridge University.
https://supchina.com/2021/03/09/bitcoin-mining-is-still-huge-in-china-despite-new-ban-in-inner-mongolia/
So using crypto to unseat the dollar as a reserve currency doesn’t seem to me to be a viable strategy at the moment.

The Engineering graduate consults his addition tables, writes some calculations down, graphs his results, and says, â3. But weâll make it 5 just to be safe.â
The Economics graduate locks the door behind him, closes the curtains over the windows, and finally whispers, âHow much do you want it to be?â

Re: Thrombosis after covid-19 vaccination
Dear Editor
Many women across the world after receiving CoViD vaccines are complaining of irregularities in their menstrual bleeding; some experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), some bleeding before their periods were due or bleeding frequently (metrorrhagia/polymenorrhea), whereas some are complaining of postmenopausal bleeding.
As of 5th April 2021, there have been ~958 cases of post-vaccination menstrual irregularities, including vaginal haemorrhages, that were recorded in MHRAâs adverse event reports. There were twice more cases of menstrual irregularities with CoViD Vaccine AstraZeneca than Pfizer (643 vs 315 respectively) [1]. It is anticipated that the actual numbers of cases are much higher than the numbers recorded in the pharmacovigilance systems as many women in different cultural context may have felt uncomfortable to talk about it, may not have thought that it was vaccine-related, or may have not been encouraged by their clinicians to make an official report into the adverse events reporting system.
