The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) of the federal U.S. Government is considering allowing businesses to use biometric facial scans of children under the age of 13 as “a new mechanism for obtaining parental consent.”

The Federal Trade Commission is seeking comment on an application from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) and others for a new mechanism for obtaining parental consent under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Rule.

ESRB, which currently operates a COPPA safe harbor program, was joined in its application by Yoti, a digital identity company, and SuperAwesome, which provides technology to help companies comply with parental verification requirements. The companies have requested approval for the use of “Privacy-Protective Facial Age Estimation” technology, which analyzes the geometry of a user’s face to confirm that they are an adult.

Under the COPPA Rule, online sites and services directed to children under 13 must obtain parental consent before collecting or using personal information from a child. The Rule lays out a number of acceptable methods for gaining parental consent but also includes a provision allowing interested parties to submit new verifiable parental consent methods to the Commission for approval.

In a Federal Register notice, the FTC is seeking comment on a number of questions related to the application including whether the proposed age verification method is covered by existing methods; whether the proposed method meets the requirements under the COPPA Rule; and whether the proposed method poses a privacy risk to consumers’ personal information, including their biometric information.

The public will have until August 21, 2023 to submit a comment. After they are submitted, comments will be posted to Regulations.gov.

NOTE: Publication of this Federal Register notice is required by the Rule and does not indicate Commission approval or endorsement of the program. The Commission has 120 days to review proposed verifiable parental consent methods and must set forth its conclusions in writing. (Emphasis mine. Full Press Release.)

During the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Sustainable Development Impact Meetings in September 2022, the unelected globalists held a panel on “Tackling Disinformation” where participants from the UN, CNN, and Brown University discussed how to best control narratives.

Melissa Fleming, Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications at the United Nations, highlighted that the UN had partnered with several big tech companies, including TikTok and Google, to control COVID and climate narratives while claiming, “We own the science.”

On the topic of controlling the climate change narrative, Fleming remarked that the UN had partnered with Google so that the unelected globalists’ authoritative narratives would appear at the top of search results.

“We partnered with Google,” said Fleming, adding, “for example, if you Google ‘climate change,’ you will, at the top of your search, you will get all kinds of UN resources.

“We started this partnership when we were shocked to see that when we Googled ‘climate change,’ we were getting incredibly distorted information right at the top.

“We’re becoming much more proactive. We own the science, and we think that the world should know it, and the platforms themselves also do,” she added.

But the unelected globalists’ efforts on narrative control didn’t end with partnering with Google to manipulate search results on climate change.

Fleming also highlighted that the UN worked with TikTok on a project called “Team Halo” to boost COVID messaging coming from medical and scientific communities on the Chinese-owned video-sharing platform.

In a Q and A after his last speech before he was fired from Fox News, Tucker Carlson was asked what the greatest cultural shift of the past few decades has been. His answer surprised me. He didn’t cite the internet itself, but rather the growing censorship of the digital realm and the likelihood, in his view, that dissident information would become increasingly difficult to obtain. His advice?

Don’t throw away your hard copy books because they are the enduring repository of [Western civilization]. I’m dead serious. I’m not going to tell you to buy gold or ammo—although obviously you should think about it. But definitely don’t throw away your books because they can’t be disappeared—because they exist physically.

To most people, this probably sounds a bit over the top. The primary problem with the digital age is the sheer volume of information available and its power to distract, silo, and entrench—a far cry from Fahrenheit 451. But in the past few years we have seen historical figures cancelled, beloved museum displays torn down (my favorite childhood exhibit at the Royal BC Museum was destroyed in the name of “decolonization”), and statues toppled. Carlson’s advice seems less alarmist now that it would have a half-decade ago. The news cycle consistently reveals that the many of the elites would love to shovel quite a lot down the memory hole if given the opportunity.

In 2019, a francophone school board in Ontario, Canada, hosted a book burning to purge books perceived as offensive to indigenous people. Thirty books were burned in a “flame purification ceremony” for “educational purposes,” with the ashes being used as fertilizer to plant a tree. The symbolic gesture was just the beginning—nearly 5,000 books were taken out of libraries at thirty schools across the district and were either destroyed or tossed out. The purge included novels, encyclopedias, and Tintin, Asterix, and Lucky Luke comics (it was a problematic “imbalance of power” that      indigenous people weren’t the protagonists) and was formally approved by a school commission.

Have you had your eyes scanned by “The Orb” yet?  All it takes is just one trip, and once your biometric data is in the database you will receive some free money and a new “digital identity” that you will be able to use all over the Internet.  Doesn’t that sound grand?  As you will see below, hundreds of thousands of people in Europe have already signed up.  Those that have created Worldcoin intend for it to be “a new identity and financial network” that is owned by everyone on the entire planet.  The following comes directly from the official Worldcoin website…

More than three years ago we founded Worldcoin with the ambition of creating a new identity and financial network owned by everyone; the rollout begins today. If successful, we believe Worldcoin could drastically increase economic opportunity, scale a reliable solution for distinguishing humans from AI online while preserving privacy, enable global democratic processes, and eventually show a potential path to AI-funded UBI.

That initial paragraph certainly sounds wonderful.

But once you start digging a bit deeper you quickly discover the dystopian details of this scheme.

Once you sign up for Worldcoin, your new “World ID” will be issued to you.  Ultimately, the goal is for the entire Internet to start using this new “World ID” system…

According to mainstream media, Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently made claims about COVID-19 being an ethnically targeted bioweapon. Yahoo! News, for example, reported that “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. baselessly claimed COVID-19 may have been ‘ethnically targeted’ ... He said Caucasians and black people were most susceptible, and Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people were most immune.”

The New York Post claimed “RKF Jr. Says COVID May Have Been ‘Ethnically Targeted’ to Spare Jews.” According to Yahoo! News, Kennedy “did not cite any specific sources,” but this whole story turns out to be wrong. Kennedy was in fact citing a very specific scientific paper, and his comments about that paper were then taken out of context.

Personally, I have been reluctant to wander down the rabbit hole relating to various “depopulation agenda” theories involving the COVIDcrisis. However, the odd concordance between a possible population reduction objective and the dysfunctional “public health” policies is obvious to all open minded thinkers. These policies include that the biologically engineered SARS-CoV-2 virus, the many “public health” policies, as well as the rushed gene therapy-based COVID “vaccines” and their wide range of associated- but rigorously denied - “serious adverse events” (not the least of which are sudden unexpected death and fertility issues) are more consistent with a population control/depopulation agenda as opposed to being effective “public health” interventions.

Buckle up, because this is going to be a deep dive down that very same rabbit hole.

Recently, a respected colleague (Mr. Gavin DeBecker) sent me an email comprising a lengthy analysis and attached documents concerning (formerly classified) National Security Study Memorandum (NSSM) 200 titled the “Kissinger Report”. He also provided links to associated supplemental federal government documents including the National Security Directive Memorandum 314 “Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for US Security and Overseas Interests, 11/26/75”. Gavin is a well-published author, including the pivotal work titled “The Gift of Fear : Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence”, and he had prepared this analysis (below) while preparing a new book. His text, thoughts and analysis are shared by permission of the author.

In considering these documents, it is helpful to keep in mind that Henry Kissinger is a key mentor of Dr. Klaus Schwab, was involved (together with the CIA) in originally creating and continues to consult with the World Economic Forum as well as with the CCP/Xi Jinping.

As our schools continue to focus on grooming children rather than educating them, our military continues its “Go Woke, Get Weak” approach to our country’s defense.

Promoting transgenderism in civilian life is a travesty. It should be discouraged and treated for the mental illusion that it is. Preying on a mind in a socially generated state of confusion is tantamount to criminal behavior. It has risen to the stature of social contagion, initiated, and amplified by the radical left. Designed not for their stated reason of inclusion, but to create division and the weakening of the collective order.

In my humble opinion, allowing transgenders into the ranks of the military borders on treason

As evil as it is to pollute anyone’s mind, doing so in a military setting creates a complex level of problems. It has often been said that during a soldier’s time in the military their manner of thought and perception needs to be “broken down and rebuilt.” This is necessary for the soldier’s own safety. Teamwork and an absolute respect for authority is required. Military personnel may encounter many things that they will never come across in civilian life. Situations that may decide life or death, not only for themselves, but for others on their team.

In my humble opinion, allowing transgenders into the ranks of the military borders on treason. Denying one’s birth gender is not cause for celebration, but as I stated earlier, it is cause for great concern. Transgenders in the military create an unnecessary point of confusion. While both male and female military personnel proudly serve, those pretending to be one or the other should not be permitted. It serves no purpose, except to weaken what was once the strongest fighting force in the world.

I can’t help but imagine other countries laughing out loud at the U.S. Navy, trotting out a drag queen under the guise of luring recruits. Think about that. What type of recruits are we trying to entice to join? While other countries are developing disciplined fighting forces, we are using a drag queen as a carrot for recruiting.

As bad as the consternation and confusion is that follows their presence, the DOD at some point decided that outright favoritism towards them would boost morale.

Last week, Jordan Schachtel, who writes The Dossier on Substack reported that a recently released DOD memo reveals shocking special treatment for transgenders. The memo, which is dated February 1, 2023, came out of the Womack Army Medical Center, in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The memo is a classic case of the radical woke left rubbing salt in an open wound.

Diversity statements are one of the many things that go for a dime a dozen these days. Part of the application packages for professorial appointments at Canadian universities, these statements (supplemented by cover letters, CVs, teaching reviews, sample syllabi, etc.) ask candidates to affirm the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in higher education. Those keenly committed to DEI initiatives regard diversity statements as an indispensable tool for assessing whether a prospective candidate has a sophisticated grasp of institutional priorities. Cynics in the academic world view them as make-work projects whose lack of subtlety smacks of a moral purity test and is expressly hostile to the work of higher education.

Regardless of one’s viewpoint, an original diversity statement is hard to come by. As a quick Google search reveals, the best advice on diversity statements lacks much in the way of diversity. So too do the templates exhorting applicants to be honest and original while largely reproducing an uncontroversial set of rhetorical commitments: centring the de-centred voices of marginalized groups, exploding canons of taste, implicit or explicit critiques of colonialism, creating “safe spaces” in the classroom, aligning oneself with an historically disenfranchised community, and guarding against microaggressions.
