BREAKING NEWS SEMA, NTEA File Federal Lawsuit to Stop Advanced Clean Fleets EV Truck Mandates SEMA and The Work Truck Association (NTEA) filed suit in the U.S. District Court’s Eastern District of California against the California Air Resources Board (CARB), to stop electric vehicle mandates CARB intends to implement through its Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulations. The organizations contend that CARB’s actions far exceed California’s constitutional and state statutory authority and will have a dire effect on an industry that historically has led the way toward cleaner, safer vehicles through innovation and American ingenuity–particularly through alternative-fuel innovations, replacing older engine technologies with newer, cleaner versions and converting older internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to new electric or hydrogen-powered vehicles.

Just about 13 minutes into his speech at a Detroit rally, former President Donald Trump’s microphone cut out. 

Kyle Seraphim, an ex-FBI constitutionalist who blew the whistle on the FBI, made note of a DOD directive on his podcast. He thinks we should pay attention to a Department of Defense document republished in September. In the document, the Secretary of Defense – the military – can assert authority in civil disturbances, which may or […] The post People Have Concerns About a Martial Law Publication appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

The Red Cross (ICRC) is the latest long-established and operating international organization of considerable repute, that has found itself enlisted to, essentially, help the biometrics data-reliant ID happen. Specifically, the Switzerland-based ICRC seems to have gotten involved in a scheme developed to such an end by Germany’s CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, and also Switzerland-based Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL). The scheme is called the Janus system. While formally and generally working in any region affected by natural or human-created disasters – helping refugees, casualties, the issue of missing or displaced persons – the ICRC is mandated first and foremost by the 1949 Geneva Convention. But the times have in the meantime clearly changed quite considerably – and now there’s the initiative to “hoover up” ICRC’s many decades of experience, and repute, into a “new reality.” Such as creating new tools “aimed at verifying the identities of humanitarian aid recipients.” And once again, the focus is on developing nations. This time – not entirely unlike the stated rationale behind recent UK’s recent mass surveillance effort under the guise of fighting tax money fraud – the focus is supposedly to make sure that those caught up in humanitarian crises areas do not submit “multiple registrations.” It’s either to make sure humanitarian aid gets to as many people as possible – or, a handy opportunity to present this problem as one without a solution, other than drastic things like biometric data getting introduced into the mix. There has now been a disturbingly high number of instances of Western-based and/or majority-funded organizations, formal (like the UN), or informal but powerful ones, “testing abroad” the tech that they know would face serious and strong opposition at home. And that’s in countries and societies where the dangers to privacy and security are either not well-advocated or are simply voided by the everyday bare necessity to survive. Biometric data harvesting, retention, usage, and (ab)use fall in this category, and as much as civil rights organizations in developed countries are to be praised for the work they do or attempt to do at home, it should be said that the “backdoor experiments” taking place in poorer countries not getting enough spotlight is something these groups definitely need to work on.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. UK’s Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology Peter Kyle has written to the country’s media and telecommunications regulator Ofcom, asking it to implement what he said are “key components” of the Online Safety Act. These components of the legislation – also known as the UK’s online censorship law – will come into effect by the end of 2024, Kyle noted in his letter to Ofcom Chief Executive Melanie Dawes. Kyle urged Ofcom to implement these rules as a matter of urgency – Dawes is reminded that the government views this as “incredibly important” and something that needs to be implemented “as soon as possible” by the regulator. The letter also reveals that these officials already had meetings dedicated to the issue – a “discussion” that Kyle said he wants to continue in order to see how the government can “support Ofcom in delivering on this ambition.” The need for this to happen is explained by the secretary of state as necessary in making sure that services covered by Ofcom are held responsible for delivering “products safe for their users.” Kyle cites illegal harms and child safety codes as more “protections” that will be finalized next year, which include age verification (“age-checks”). Internet users, and children in particular, will then, according to Kyle, be protected from a flurry of horrors: he mentions suicide, self-harm, pornography, terrorism, “hate speech,” misogyny, and harassment. Other than age verification, this is to be achieved by forcing platforms to “quickly take down” content the codes treat as harmful. Kyle then goes into the UK’s summer riots in order to press Ofcom regarding the possibility of the agency introducing additional censorship measures to combat the spread of “misinformation.” Dawes is asked whether Ofcom is now considering new “targeted measures” that can be included in the next version of the illegal harms code. The UK government continues to put the emphasis on the spread of “disinformation” as the key problem behind the riots, and Ofcom is now quizzed by Kyle regarding its assessment “about how illegal content, particularly disinformation, spread during the period of disorder.” Another thing Kyle considers to be very important is the Advisory Committee on Disinformation and Misinformation, a body Ofcom is setting up under the Online Safety Act rules. And the secretary of state is “looking forward” to learning how this is proceeding – “and what its key areas of focus are likely to be following the events of this summer.” If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net.
