Zero Days by Alex Gibney

If you haven't seen this yet, it builds awareness about how our U.S. Cyber Command was built and funded.
It's also about just how much smarter our President Obama was than we really knew.
It's not just about lessons from Stuxnet that Americans should be aware of, but how cyber war systems can shut the world down.

This trailer doesn't do the documentary justice, but it gives a sliver of an idea. The documentary isn't as dated as its release date might make it appear to be.

It also tells us just how bad our current executive branch and Senate Republicans really are. And how this president hasn't a clue about how dangerous the Chinese and Russians could be.

N.Y. Will Impose Quarantine on Visitors From States With Big Outbreaks

Source: New York Times

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced on Wednesday that New York and two neighboring states would begin requiring certain out-of-state visitors entering their states to quarantine for two weeks upon arrival.

The restrictions, which also cover New Jersey and Connecticut, will be based on specific health metrics related to the coronavirus, Mr. Cuomo said. At the moment, travelers from nine states would be required to quarantine, mostly from the south, including Florida, Texas and Arizona.

The order takes effect at midnight, Mr. Cuomo said on Wednesday, a quick implementation aimed at preventing a rush of travelers hoping to avoid the requirement...

Mr. Cuomo said that enforcement would be up to each of the three states. In New York, he said, those violating the quarantine order could be “subject to a judicial order and mandatory quarantine.” A first violation could result in a $2,000 fine and a second would bring a $5,000 fine, he said, up to $10,000 for someone who causes “harm.”

Governor Cuomo Briefing June 24 2020

Start 8:18


Infection rate = 10 / 100,000 or 10% of total populations.

States above that level are AL, AR, AZ, FL, NC, SC, WA, UT, TX.

We will update daily which states are above that rate.

We -- meaning the governors who've beaten the virus -- will help any way we can.

What we're doing works. Our approach has been vindicated.

The phased re-opening by data works. You can't have a political theory about how to deal with a virus... it responds to science and data."

Report: Hundreds of Police Officers Belong to Racist Facebook Groups

https://www.theroot.com/report-hundreds-of-police-officers-belong-to-racist-fa-1835542308?utm_medium=sharefromsite&utm_source=theroot_facebook&fbclid=IwAR019qBuqJGtyCkxODAWrCWbQSGhjX4kN2FhdBE2FA_XNS1P-EFZ_eQerZM

Reveal, a news website site run by the nonprofit Center for Investigative Journalism recently completed a monthslong investigation into police officers’ involvement with extremism on Facebook. The social media giant allows its users to create closed groups that share pictures, posts, and information among members who must gain permission from other members or administrators to see and post content within the group.

Before the Cambridge Analytica scandal revealed that Facebook allowed people to download users’ data, forcing the platform to change its policy, Reveal’s reporters quietly downloaded membership data from two categories of closed Facebook groups:

Extremist groups like “White Lives Matter,” “Ban the NAACP” and “Death to Islam Undercover”
Private groups that only allowed police officers, sheriff’s deputies, and/or corrections officers to join.

The journalists then wrote software that cross-referenced the two separate lists to see if any of the cops on their list also belonged to the cyber-hate groups. They expected that they would get a few hits.

They got more than 14,000.


Link to the original study: https://www.revealnews.org/article/inside-hate-groups-on-facebook-police-officers-trade-racist-memes-conspiracy-theories-and-islamophobia/

I've agreed with Bill Maher who has said, "You can't prove it. But you know it's true." Now, thanks to journalists investigations, we can prove it's true. Alone, these officers don't corrupt department practices. It's the silence of fellow polices that has enabled department corruption for so long.
