The reason the government is monitoring all emails, social media posts, and twitter feeds, is very simple. This is seen as a database from which the prediction of social unrest becomes possible. There is a study titled “Social Network Structure as a Predictor of Social Behavior: The Case of Protest in the 2016 US Presidential Election” which examined the use of all forms of social media from emails to posts in the anti-Trump protests that erupted following the 2016 presidential elections.
This study was funded by the US Army Research Laboratory which concluded that post-elections protests could have been predicted by analyzing millions of American citizens’ Twitter posts. Basically, by monitoring everything, they believe they can forecast civil unrest based upon information activity bursts in social media. This is why the government is now engaged in extensive real-time monitoring of American citizens’ social media.
This approach, while appearing logical, only is capable of tracking the final outrage. It lacks the ability to actually forecast civil unrest which emerges from economic conditions. Even the Black Lives Matter movement grew BECAUSE of the lockdowns where people lost their jobs. There have been plenty of black men killed wrongly by police. Remember Ferguson? The sustainability of this movement has been directly enabled by rising unemployment. Suddenly, people were off work and were available to join the protests.
Comrades, those who create the COVID rules will never actually comply with the COVID rules; the reason,… they know the COVID rules are about control, not a virus.
Today House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits a hair salon: …”owner Erica Kious said that Pelosi had an appointment with a stylist who rents space in the Union Street salon.
“It was a slap in the face that she went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can’t work,” Kious reportedly said about Pelosi. (read more)

[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: So, this store was here 109 years. Just about the oldest in the nation, doing what you do.
MR. RODE: It’s the oldest in the state for sure.
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. That’s fantastic. And we’re going to help them a lot. I think we’re going to help them a lot. Would you like to say something?
MR. RODE: I just appreciate President Trump coming today; everybody here does. We’re so thankful that we got the federal troops in to help because once they got here, things did calm down quite a bit. And our city police and sheriff and fire departments are awesome. They worked harder than you can believe, 24/7.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s true. These gentlemen did a fantastic job working —
MR. RODE: Fantastic job.
THE PRESIDENT: — working with the federal government, and it was really great. And once we said, “Let’s go,” that was the end of it.
Unfortunately, they had a few days when people wouldn’t call us. They didn’t want to have us come in. They just don’t want us to come in, and then destruction is done. A day earlier, we would’ve saved your store.
MR. RODE: Absolutely.
THE PRESIDENT: One day earlier.
MR. RODE: One day earlier.
THE PRESIDENT: So, the governors have to call, the mayors have to call. As soon as they call, the federal government will come in; it’ll put it out.
You take — the ultimate example is Portland. It’s been terrible for a long time — for many decades, actually. I read a story — 50 years. But you take a look what’s been happening for the last 94 days. We would put it out within one hour. It would take one hour, maybe less. And that’s really what happened here.
And it happened in Minneapolis also. Came in — it went for nine days. And we came in; it ended almost from the minute we came in. But these governors don’t want to call. The mayors don’t want to call. And they have to call, and they have to ask.
I want to thank — Bill Barr is here some place. Bill, thank you very much. And a man that just got a very strong promotion in a sense — Chad is here.
So, we’re going to have some meetings. We’re going to meet with some of the owners, and then we’re going to have a roundtable. I think you’re going to be there.
But we’re going to work with you. We’re going to help you. Okay? We’ll help you rebuild. It’s a great area. It’s a great state. This should never happen. A thing like this should never happen. They have to call early.
Okay, thank you. I’ll see you over there. Thank you very much.
The far left Democrats have for a long time controlled most of America’s big cities, and now they’ve aided in their decline and destruction. Many Democrats on city councils want to cut funding for their police departments, or eliminate the police altogether.
Joe Biden claims he’s against the violence taking place in the big cities, but he’s also kissed the collectivist ring of the socialist Democrats who are taking over his party.
We should also remember that Biden one criticized many young black Americans as ‘fatherless predators.’ He helped make sure more black Americans were put in the prison industrial complex, where they worked for a pittance. In a way, Biden made them slaves.
The ‘peaceful’ protests continue to heat up. My advice is for any pro-Trump people to avoid going into the cities. Avoid confrontations. Those cities and their sports teams are a lost cause. Many of the ‘protestors’ are paid to do it as well as create racial division. And, of course, all the socialist Democrats blame Trump. That’s what they do. For example, Castro always blamed Cuba’s problems on the USA.
If the Bolsheviks decide to move out to the suburbs and try to loot and burn there, it’s time for Americans to fight back. The Democrats want to defund the police causing American patriots to step in to defend their homes.
I loved Melbourne (Melbin as they pronounce it) and flew there often to meet with mining companies and business leaders. The city with its trams and unique way of driving was always a delight. Now, it is very clear, I will never see that city again. The Police in Melbin are simply supporting the government and appear to be enjoying their new power to run Australia as if it were East Germany behind the Berlin Wall. The oppression of the people in Melbin is truly a violation of human rights. The very same actions have been used as the justification to invade dictators in the Middle East. The police outright attack people and are now arresting people who dare take a walk and give them a full dose of pepper spray. They have even locked up people who simply gave another a hug. The government has stated that wearing masks may be a permanent change to daily life for years to come. This is the overthrow of democracy and the only way these politicians will retain power is to suspend elections.
There have been serious economic impacts caused by these drastic lockdowns in Melbourne which are even affecting people emotionally. Groups are now forming in the western suburbs where people are walking en masse in Guy Fawkes masks. They are planning a protest for the 5th September, which they are calling it Freedom Day. The police are saying if you attend you will have no freedom. It is shocking how the police in Melbourne seems so grateful to be able to act with impunity to do just about anything to people.
The Kenosha Wisconsin Police Department released an interesting media statement today highlighting that 60 percent of the Biden Rioters arrested are agitators who traveled from outside the area:
ODNI John Ratcliffe made an interesting, frightening & stunningly open direct statement yesterday when he described intelligence evidence that China is putting on a full-court press against governors and local officials to retain their influence campaign in 2020.
Essentially what DNI Ratcliffe described boils down to Beijing threatening economic blackmail against U.S. officials who were comfortable being reliant on local Chinese investment and purchases of U.S. companies, assents and interests.
With that stark statement in mind; and keeping the full national security ramifications in the forefront; it is worth remembering a foreboding speech given by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in February.
This is specifically important now against the backdrop of how some U.S. politicians appear to be reacting to the COVID-19 challenges, perhaps even weaponizing the virus to achieve political objectives; and with a perspective toward the way media outlets, some businesses and many politicians appear to be influenced by China. The background context for this speech takes on an entirely new dimension.
Pompeo’s remarks were made to the National Governors Association (NGA) Feb 8, 2020; and there’s an interesting segment where Pompeo reveals his awareness of a list of U.S. governors compiled by China’s communist party; and their alignment with China’s interests. A transcript of the key excerpt from his speech is provided. WATCH:

[Transcript at 01:45] […] “Last year, I received an invitation to an event that promised to be, quote, “an occasion for exclusive deal-making.” It said, quote, “the opportunities for mutually beneficial economic development between China and our individual states [are] tremendous,” end of quote.”
“Deal-making sounds like it might have come from President Trump, but the invitation was actually from a former governor.
I was being invited to the U.S.-China Governors’ Collaboration Summit.
It was an event co-hosted by the National Governors Association and something called the Chinese People’s Association For Friendship and Foreign Countries. Sounds pretty harmless.
What the invitation did not say is that the group – the group I just mentioned – is the public face of the Chinese Communist Party’s official foreign influence agency, the United Front Work Department.
Now, I was lucky. I was familiar with that organization from my time as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
But it got me thinking.
How many of you made the link between that group and Chinese Communist Party officials?
What if you made a new friend while you were at that event?
What if your new friend asked you for introductions to other politically connected and powerful people?
What if your new friend offered to invest big money in your state, perhaps in your pension, in industries sensitive to our national security?
These aren’t hypotheticals. These scenarios are all too true, and they impact American foreign policy significantly.
Indeed, last year, a Chinese Government-backed think tank in Beijing produced a report that assessed all 50 of America’s governors on their attitudes towards China. They labeled each of you “friendly,” “hardline,” or “ambiguous.”
I’ll let you decide where you think you belong. Someone in China already has. Many of you, indeed, in that report are referenced by name.
So here’s the lesson: The lesson is that competition with China is not just a federal issue. It’s why I wanted to be here today, Governor Hogan. It’s happening in your states with consequences for our foreign policy, for the citizens that reside in your states, and indeed, for each of you.
And, in fact, whether you are viewed by the CCP as friendly or hardline, know that it’s working you, know that it’s working the team around you.
Competition with China is happening inside of your state, and it affects our capacity to perform America’s vital national security functions.” (Keep Reading)
At the time of the speech it certainly seemed like Secretary Pompeo and President Trump understood a list of China-friendly governors…. and this was at the very beginning of the COVID influence over the U.S. economy and 2020 election.
Remember, “There are trillions at stake”…
Axios had an article earlier this year which included the Chinese Communist Party Report [Cloud pdf Here] that Secretary Pompeo was describing in February.
When we originally shared the information CTH specifically noted the importance of watching how and when each of these governors responded to their economy when contrast against the COVID-19 narrative.
Specifically, and anticipating the value of COVID as a leftist weapon to achieve their political objectives, we asked: “will there be a correlation to how the states respond that is directly related to their CCP alignment?
It appears we have enough evidence to say yes, there is a connection. Review the list(s) yourself and make your own decision.
