I'm amazed and shocked that almost none of the reporting on the troubles facing Ken Cuccinelli as a potential DHS official mention his past crimes against science and the future of humanity 1/
For those who don't know, as Virginia AG Cuccinelli wasn't just a climate denier: he tried to criminalize climate science, with a relentless campaign of personal destruction against scientist Michael Mann 2/ ucsusa.org/center-science…
This was real Spanish Inquisition stuff. Nobody with that track record should ever be allowed any role in public life, ever: we're talking about anti-intellectual thuggery. Letting him loose on immigration ... 3/

I fairly regularly check in on the home page of the National Bureau of Economic Research to see if there are developments I should be aware of. The current page features work on the declining life expectancies of lower-education whites 1/ papers.nber.org/conf_papers/f1…
The decline between those, especially men, born in the 40s and those born in the 60s is remarkable and disturbing 2/
Which makes it interesting that literally for decades Very Serious People have been saying that we need to raise the retirement age, when life expectancy of this group has been falling, not rising. And they're the people who rely on SS most 3/ ssa.gov/policy/docs/ss…

Meanwhile, what's happening with the trade war? I don't think we know. But I've been doing some background work, and realizing that what we're doing now is pretty much unprecedented. Until Trump, there were almost no trade wars in US history 1/
Of course, we had a lot of protectionism. But I would only call that a trade war when tariffs are imposed as part of a deliberate attempt to hurt other countries, and force them to make concessions.And we've hardly ever done that 2/
Before FDR created the Trade Agreements Program, US trade policy was basically insular/isolationist. We were gonna do what we were gonna do, and not worry about foreign reactions. Smoot Hawley wasn't an attempt to punish anyone, it was just stupid 3/

OK, it seems mean to pick on Andrew Yang, who won't even be a factor in the nomination. But he positions himself as the tech guy who knows how the world really works, and there are others like him. So maybe worth pointing out that they're all wrong 1/ washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost…
Yang's thing is that automation is destroying all the jobs, so we need universal basic income. There is a case for UBI (and a case against, in favor of more targeted aid), but either way the premise is wrong. Productivity has been slowing down, not speeding up 2/
And while Yang asserts that automation destroyed lots of manufacturing in the midwest, you don't have to be a protectionist to realize that the acceleration of job loss after 2000 was mainly about the surging trade deficit 3/

(1) #DHS #FBI #JTTF #InfraGard visit the workplaces of civilian "targets" & then encourage fellow coworkers - for compensation, to engage in harassment, doxing, directed conversation & Neuro Linguistic Triggering attempts of the "target"

This is the genesis of workplace violence
(2) So the next time you hear of an incident of work-place violence, the "perpetrator" will always be labeled as "angry" or "mentally ill" by the corrupt feds who initiated the aggression towards the target

Just like radical imams in the ME, they pit civilians against each other
(3) These acts constitute crimes against humanity, #racketeering, and as per DoD definition -> Domestic #Terrorism.

The #FBI #JTTF #DHS do not care about collateral damage during their targeting protocol, coordinated thru #DHS-funded #ThreatFusionCenters.

(1) #DHS #FBI #JTTF are using gang members and illegal immigrants for what #DHS refers to as #SurveillanceRolePlayers AKA civilian vigilantes.

They are offered immigration/naturalization assistance and legal assistance.

In some cases, criminal charges may be dropped if ....
(2) they agree to participate.

Illegal immigrants are told that if they participate, that in addition to naturalization assistance, #DHS #FBI #DOJ will help family members in 3rd world countries with their visa applications and they too are offered the same job upon arrival.
(3) A Google search for #SurveillanceRolePlayers (#SRPs) turns up thousands of results.

bit.ly/2WvwZld

One search return reveals 368,813 open positions in the United States for #SRPs.

These individuals are indirectly funded/paid through US federal agencies ....

Who gives the green light for vigilante stalkers that #DHS refers to as "Surveillance Role Players" to use little girls & little boys as "bait" during these #ThreatFusionCenter-coordinated Ops? #ChildEndangerment
(2) Wait until the American people learn that #FBI #DHS #JTTF & private contractors request that #DHS-funded Surveillance Role Players dress their six year old little girls like strippers & instruct them to engage in behavior that would infuriate & sicken any sane parent.
(3) It is wrong to use children during extrajudicial stalking operations & these acts constitute numerous federal felonies, including #ChildEndangerment.

Furthermore, why do #FBI #DHS #JTTF run daily entrapment operations against law-abiding citizens who have shown no ....

#DisclosureOnTargeting Remember, no-one in the world can be harmed, can have their basic human rights, their civil rights, natural rights removed from them without a group of absolute MERCENARIES ensconced in govt. ACTIVELY CONSPIRING to make $$$ off their bodies. #HardlyAmerican
2/ That kind of hubris well-shielded by #Secrecy cd. grow only in Secrecy. Wd. anyone believe that extreme-stealth weapons cd be used on you in your own home, your neighborhood, your community by OTHER AMERICANS while your so-called "Peace Officers" looked the other way?
3/ I highly doubt that Air Force Sec. Michael Wynne said that publicly without planned, organized strategy behind him. He was the public face of that strategy, the Hiding in Plain Sight face, announcing PERFIDY by US GOV against its own citizens openly to the world. In 2006.

(1) #DHS #FBI #JTTF force an individual to fight for their life once they have been watch-listed. Death-threat e-mails, vandalism, break-ins, slander, hacked accounts, stolen mail, stalking, harassment, assaults & battery

They unleash a panoply of criminal acts on the "target."
(2) They approach all family members, friends, neighbors and fellow church-goers, flash their "License-to-Kill" National Security Letters and then begin to take down the target who is usually oblivious to the onset of this federally-funded, criminal tsunami.
(3) Recently-arrived immigrants are assisted with vehicle leases, immigration/naturalization issues and compensated via home/vehicle repairs and gift cards (not traceable) if they agree to "assist" #DHS #FBI #JTTF #InfraGard with "maintaining public safety."

(1) This thread shall serve to describe the various actors participating in the #DHS-funded #terror operations, which are coordinated through #ThreatFusionCenters. Federal, State and Local Agencies, in coordination with mercenary organizations & civilians.
(2) These agencies and actors comprise what I refer to as the "National Security Racketeering Network," and are involved in terrorizing individuals & groups the #DeepState has deemed to be threats or "Domestic Terrorists" for profit.

This equates to domestic #WarProfiteering
(3) #NSA #DIA #GIA are remotely & warrantlessly tracking & targeting innocent Americans, via their #Biometric signatures. The positions of US citizens are relayed to #FusionCenters for the sole purpose of harassing anyone on the #DeepState #DOJ #DHS #FBI #JTTF hit-list.
