  ... now that you mention it...

  They are already encroaching on the end of your street with every public event they "partner" with to provide "additional security". The Security Theatre that has been performing for 21 years & 5 months has trained a whole generation to surrender their rights at the sight of a line, some yellow footprints, and a RapeyScan. My Grandfather who joined the US Navy in 1942 & served in the Pacific, Guadalcanal in particular after getting the boot from the US Army due to Scarlet Fever, his cousin who was awarded the CMOH because of his actions in France in January 1945, my father who volunteered to go to Vietnam in 1966, and myself who served in the 1990's are all very sad about what we have done to ourselves as a nation.

  Re: Re: Re: Fool me once...

  Which facts are not in evidence exactly? The CDC initially did not recommend masks when they knew they should. It was worse in Wuhan than was reported to the public by US govt officials (I have coworkers with family in Wuhan & these American citizens & permanent US residents comms were certainly collected by the NSA) Given that the us intel community likely knew much more than was/has been shared with the public it seems to me the facts not being in evidence has more to do with what .gov wants in evidence rather than what evidence is available. But hey, might just be wrong. I am a married guy…

  Re: Having it both ways

  Perhaps having it only one way is the goal in this case? If the family members have testified or given evidence that the vides WERE ON the device, perhaps the gubbment is trying to prove that they are NO LONGER on the device so they can charge the person with destruction of evidence. It is not often WHAT YOU DID that they get you for, but WHAT THEY CAN GET YOU FOR that they end up getting you for...

  Re: Re: Re: yeah, not entirely accurate

  "You MUST pay the ISP in order to even have access to the stream, Since the ISPs..." Kinda, not really, we get our access via wifi from the neighbors, one has an unsecured network, the other uses the password printed on their router in their garage. (the left the big door open on night five years ago, I closed it for them that eve) We prefer to connect to the kinda secured network. I hope they are managing to stay under our data cap!
