Iowa legislators are considering a bill that would require medical examiners to document recent immunizations on the death certificates of children who died from unknown causes, KIMT3 News reported.
Bill sponsor Rep. Samantha Fett of Warren County said this information is important to understand what might be behind deaths categorized as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
“The U.S. continues to have a high SIDS rate compared to every other industrialized nation,” Fett told The Defender. “I believe it is time to start gathering this information for the parents of the children who have died.”
Fett said health departments also should have this information so health officials and medical examiners can ensure that every medication a child takes is taken into consideration when trying to determine why a child died.
Medical researcher Neil Z. Miller, author of numerous books on vaccine safety, told The Defender that “of course” the bill is a good idea.
“A child never dies from ‘unknown causes,’” Miller said. “There is always a reason for death. Often, that reason is vaccines. But medical examiners may be ‘hesitant’ to list vaccines as the probable cause due to intense pressure from medical colleagues.”
The proposed bill would relieve that pressure.
Critics of the bill say the medical review conducted when a child dies is already extensive. A local physician, Dr. Austin Baeth of Polk County, Iowa, said that even considering the bill “gives the signal to Iowans out there that vaccines are dangerous.”
Miller disagreed. “No, the actual harm may be yet another child’s death labeled as being from unknown causes, which can serve as a euphemism for a vaccine-related death.”
A Wright County medical examiner told KIMT3 that there are approximately 30 child deaths per year in Iowa that are attributed to unknown circumstances.
“That is in Iowa alone, a state with a relatively small population,” Miller said. “Conservatively, that would translate to a minimum of 1,500 such deaths nationwide.”
The Republican bill was introduced on Jan. 15. On Monday, a subcommittee advanced the bill to the House Health and Human Services Committee for consideration.
She also cited a recent analysis of data from the Louisiana Department of Health showing that infants vaccinated in their second month of life were more likely to die in their third month than their unvaccinated counterparts. That study was conducted by scientists from Children’s Health Defense.
A SIDS diagnosis is given when an infant under age 1 dies suddenly, typically during sleep, and an investigation into the death fails to yield a cause. However, 95% of SIDS deaths occur in the first six months of life, peaking at ages 2-4 months.
However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) monitoring of the sudden deaths of infants and young people is not comprehensive. A recent study published in JAMA Network Open found that the CDC underestimates the rate of sudden unexplained deaths in childhood and that certification of sudden unexplained pediatric deaths is inconsistent.
The SIDS diagnosis didn’t exist until the late 1960s, when the category was created in response to a rise in sudden unexplained infant deaths.
In the early 1960s, the number of vaccines administered to most U.S. infants increased.
The federal government began appropriating money so the CDC could work with local health departments to vaccinate all children. In 1972, the agency designated the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) as a federal advisory committee. ACIP makes the recommendations for vaccines to be listed on the childhood immunization schedule.
As SIDS rates rose, so did parental concern that SIDS was connected to vaccination. However, health officials assured parents that unexplained death following vaccination was “merely coincidental,” according to Miller’s research, published in the peer-reviewed journal Toxicology Reports.
He also said that before 1979, the ICD included cause-of-death classifications associated with “prophylactic vaccination” as an official cause of death. However, in 1979, the ICD was revised and that category was eliminated. As a result, “medical examiners are compelled to misclassify and conceal vaccine-related fatalities under alternate cause-of-death classifications.”
Instead of examining the link between vaccines and SIDS, public health researchers developed a “triple-risk model” for explaining SIDS.
According to that model, SIDS occurs when a baby has an unknown medical condition, is going through an important period of development where the body changes quickly, and it encounters an outside stressor, such as sleeping on its stomach.
Because this model offers the prevailing theory on causes of infant death, it’s not uncommon for law enforcement to blame parents for the death of babies who die following vaccination.
Police are not educated about possible links between vaccination and SIDS, and information about vaccination is typically not included in coroner’s reports — a gap Iowa’s proposed legislation seeks to correct.

A declassified FBI document released as part of the so-called Epstein files says that US President Donald Trump was compromised by Israel, according to information from a confidential intelligence source.
Trump was vulnerable to Israeli influence through financial and political leverage, the source said.
The Justice Department on Tuesday released more than three million pages of files linked to its long-running investigation into convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, revealing sweeping charges involving powerful political and business figures, including Trump.
Among the disclosed material is a declassified FBI report citing a confidential human source that says Epstein operated as an intelligence asset and was used to exert influence over US political and financial elites.
The report states that Trump was considered susceptible to foreign leverage, particularly from Israel, and describes Epstein as having links to Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad. It says that foreign powers — including Israel, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates — sought influence over US officials through financial ties, political access and compromising material.
The FBI pointed out that much of the material is based on unverified intelligence reporting.
The memo also identifies Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, as a central power broker within both the Trump Organization and the presidency, citing ties to Israeli intelligence-adjacent networks, opaque foreign money flows, and politically connected organizations.
It further references the presidential pardon granted to Kushner’s father as part of what the report characterizes as a broader web of influence.
One section flags Trump’s real-estate dealings, including a Beverly Hills property purchased for about $41 million and later sold for $95 million to a shell company with foreign connections.
The document suggests the transaction may have involved the routing of overseas funds into US projects, though it offers no conclusive evidence.
The report also claims that Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz was “co-opted” to cultivate elite political networks, and that Epstein served as a conduit to senior figures across politics, finance and academia.
Other high-profile names referenced in the files include Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew.
The White House rejected the allegations. In a statement cited by CNN, the Justice Department described reports involving Trump as “unfounded and false,” claiming many references stem from unverified tips.
The release marks the largest disclosure to date in the Epstein case — a scandal the Trump administration has repeatedly struggled to put behind it due to the president’s past association with the disgraced financier.
For years, Epstein-related investigations have fueled speculation, conspiracy theories, and accusations of government cover-ups, with critics demanding a full public accounting.
Among the documents is an FBI list compiled in August 2025 detailing sexual assault allegations connected to Trump, included within the millions of files made public by the Justice Department.
Hundreds of people lined up Monday at Calgary’s Stampede grounds to sign their names on a petition calling for the Alberta government to hold a referendum on the province’s separation from Canada.
Calgary is the most recent stop for a group called Stay Free Alberta that has been given the OK by Elections Alberta to gather names.
They need almost 178,000 signatures by May, and similar long lines have been seen in recent weeks in other locations.
“I think this is a really strong message to the government of Alberta that Alberta is going to be a free and independent country so they better get their heads around it,” said Jeffrey Rath of Stay Free Alberta.
The push for independence comes amid ongoing suggestions from the U.S. government that perhaps Alberta would like to join its neighbour to the south.

Some of those in the lineup on Monday said they want to join the U.S., while others said no.
Some say separation might be the only way to fix what they call a toxic relationship with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government.
Meanwhile, Alberta’s opposition New Democrats are calling on all government MLAs to sign a pledge declaring whether or not they support separation.
“We’ve got to take this seriously and we have to stand up on the side of Canada and Team Canada,” said NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi at a news conference in Calgary on Monday.
“We cannot repeat the mistakes of 1995 in Canada, we cannot repeat the mistakes of Brexit, so I’m reaching out to all Albertans, saying let’s stand up for what we really believe in.”
The NDP says the separatism debate is proving harmful to the province’s interests, potentially costing jobs.
The UCP caucus did not say whether they’d sign the pledge, calling it a distraction, and accusing Nenshi of fearmongering.
Premier Danielle Smith has said she supports a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada, a phrase that Nenshi called nonsensical “word salad.”
“I think there are a lot of questions about clarity and even though the question is clearly ‘Do you want to leave?’, the motive for voting yes in this referendum is quite unclear,” said Lori Williams, a political science professor at Calgary’s Mount Royal University.

A senior Hamas official says the Palestinian resistance group never agreed to surrender its weapons in the course of indirect ceasefire talks that brought an end to Israel’s regime’s two-year-long genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Mousa Abu Marzook made the remarks in an interview with Qatar-based Al Jazeera television network on Wednesday, two days after US President Donald Trump called on Hamas to follow through on what he called the group’s commitment to disarm.
“Hamas has never agreed to hand over its weapons in any form. Hamas agreed to a framework plan to end the war. The issue of handing over weapons was not discussed at all,” Marzook said.
He also emphasized that all arrangements planned in Gaza must happen with Hamas’ consent.
The US-backed Gaza ceasefire deal took effect on October 10, 2025. The first phase began with the exchange of Israeli captives for Palestinian abductees, as well as the withdrawal of the occupation forces to the so-called yellow line, the lethal ceasefire boundary in Gaza.
Although Hamas fulfilled all its obligations, Israel neither stopped its deadly attacks on Gaza nor allowed the free entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged territory.
The second phase, which was announced earlier this month, involved the gradual withdrawal of Israeli soldiers, who occupy more than half of the Gaza Strip, and the deployment of an international force.
On Monday, the Israeli military announced that the remains of the last captive in Gaza, Ran Gvili, had been recovered.
Also in his interview, Marzook said that about a month ago, Hamas had provided the Gaza truce mediators with information about the location of Gvili’s body.
The handover of Israeli captives, living and dead, to the Zionist regime was based on an agreement with Hamas conditions, thus, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu should not brag about the issue, he added.
Israel unleashed its brutal Gaza onslaught on October 7, 2023, but it failed to achieve its declared objectives despite killing at least 71,667 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 171,343 others.
During a high-level meeting of the UN Security Council on Wednesday, Palestine’s UN Ambassador Riyad Mansour warned that an “unprecedented catastrophe” was unfolding in Gaza.
“The suffering of Palestinian civilians — men, women and children — must end with equal urgency,” he said, urging the full implementation of truce obligations, an immediate end to the killings, and unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza.
Tensions are rapidly escalating in the Middle East as Iran prepares for major joint naval exercises with China and Russia near the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most critical global trade and oil chokepoints.
The drills, expected to take place in the Gulf of Oman and parts of the Indian Ocean, come as the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln operates close to Iranian waters.
he show of force is being viewed as a direct challenge to U.S. naval dominance, raising alarm in Washington and Israel over the risk of miscalculation and regional escalation. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has released drone footage warning U.S. naval forces, while analysts warn that any incident in these crowded waters could spiral into a much larger conflict. With China and Russia signaling growing strategic backing for Tehran, fears are mounting that the world could be edging closer to a major geopolitical showdown.

Global Support for New Zealand Report Calling for Urgent Reset of New Zealand Health Policy: “Reclaiming Health” Sets Out a Path to Reversal, Not Just Management, of Chronic Disease.
A major new report released today by Physicians and Scientists for Global Responsibility New Zealand (PSGRNZ) challenges the foundations of New Zealand’s health policy and dietary guidance, arguing that the country’s escalating burden of chronic metabolic and mental illness is not inevitable and can be reversed.
The report has been sent with an open letter to members of Parliament, New Zealand health agencies, the Auditor-General of New Zealand, and the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission.
Titled Reclaiming Health: Reversal, Remission & Rewiring, the report synthesises evidence from metabolic science, nutritional psychiatry, clinical practice, and population data. Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, anxiety, neurocognitive disorders, and obesity are shown to be rising together, often within the same individuals and at younger ages. Link: 3 page summary paper + Reform Recommendations.
At the centre of the analysis is the carbohydrate–insulin pathway, in which repeated blood-glucose spikes drive unstable insulin, insulin resistance, inflammation, and mitochondrial stress. These processes often begin years before diagnosis and cut across traditional disease categories, including mental health.
The report challenges long-standing assumptions that obesity and saturated fat are the primary causes of metabolic disease. Obesity is reframed as one possible downstream outcome. It also integrates evidence on food addiction, showing that refined carbohydrates and some ultra-processed foods activate reward pathways in ways analogous to addictive substances, undermining satiety and making long-term dietary adherence difficult in modern food environments.
KEY POINTS: THE METABOLIC PATHWAY TO CHRONIC ILLNESS:
1. A single systemic metabolic & mental health crisis reframes many diseases as one metabolic failure.
2. Glycaemic and insulin stability underpin metabolic health & reflect core physiological regulation.
3. Insulin & inflammation as metabolic mediators. Displacing the single disease-specific approach.
4. Multimorbidity as signal, not just coincidence. Conditions share common upstream drivers.
5. Cumulative processed & refined carbohydrate exposure. Not just sugar, not just calories.
6. Nutrition & diet guidelines developed to avoid deficiency, not assure functional sufficiency.
7. Macronutrient hierarchy inverted. Carbohydrates structurally privileged over fat and protein groups.
8. Insulin as primary risk biomarker overturns cholesterol primacy.
International experts have welcomed the report’s synthesis. “The Physicians and Scientists for Global Responsibility have made clear the reasons for the worldwide pandemic of metabolic syndrome,” said Dr Robert Lustig, paediatric endocrinologist and Emeritus Professor at the University of California, San Francisco. “Fix the food and you fix health, healthcare, and society all at once.”
“This report is an important moment for New Zealand public health,” said Professor Grant Schofield, Professor of Public Health at Auckland University of Technology. “For too long, the voice of nutrition has been whispered when it should have been shouted. The PSGRNZ rightly identifies that the bulk of our poor health, in both chronic disease and poor mental health, is metabolic.”
“We need evidence-based system changes if we are to combat the twin epidemics of obesity and diabetes,” said Dr Leonardo Trasande, Professor of Pediatrics and Population Health at NYU. “I hope this report sparks needed conversation, and action.”
“This document summarises the key science and clinical findings relating to the harms of excessive consumption of sugar, refined carbohydrates and ultra-processed foods,” said Dr Jen Unwin, UK-based clinical psychologist and co-founder of Food Addiction Solutions. “We have gone past the point where there can be any doubt that these food-like substances are at the heart of the multiple crises of chronic ill health.”
Lead author, sociologist Jodie Bruning, emphasises that a central theme of Reclaiming Health is policy failure rather than individual failure. The report documents how health governance frameworks progressively draft out individual biology and metabolic vulnerability, with legacy nutrition models aimed at preventing acute nutrient deficiency rather than supporting metabolic and brain health.
This disconnect has ethical consequences. The report highlights how informed consent is compromised when people are not told about the likely progression from prediabetes to diabetes, or about cumulative medication pathways and risks. Low-income communities experience a disproportionate and preventable burden of harm, and early-onset disease in young people reduces lifetime health and quality of life.
Ibn Battuta (born nearly 50 years after the Mongols “sacked” Constantinople) was a Muslim explorer and historian who logged three times as many miles as Marco Polo.
Battuta’s family were Berbers and Islamic legal scholars. Born in 1304 AD, he left Morocco at age 21 to perform the Haj to Mecca and was away for 24 years. In addition to visiting Mecca and other Islamic holy sites, he visited Damascus, Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Cairo. With a population of 100,000, although Damascus had ceased to be the capital of the Islamic caliphate, it still functioned as a major trade hub with Europe, the Byzantine empire and Egypt.
After visiting Persia (now under Mongol control), Battuta traveled to Baghdad, which the Mongols rebuilt almost immediately after conquering it. According to his travelogue, he was especially impressed by the city’s magnificent baths featuring taps of hot and cold running water.
From Iraq he completed a second Haj to Mecca. From there he traveled to Aden and Mogadishu, Mombasa, Zanzibar and Kifua Africa.
After sailing to Oman and completing his third Haj, he traveled to Anatolia (now under the growing influence of Ottoman rule) and reached the Byzantine capital Constantinople in 1332. From there he traveled to Afghanistan, India, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Burma, Malaysia, Sumatra and Indonesia.
Returning to Damascus in 1348, he learned his father had died 14 years earlier. Arriving in Tangier in 1349, he found his mother and most of his family had died of the plague.*
He next traveled to Grenada, the last remaining Islamic city-state following the conquest of Andalusia by Spain’s Catholic monarchs. There the Andalusian House of Wisdom hired him to transcribe the accounts of his travels.
From there he traveled via the camel trade networks to Timbuktu (the “City of Gold”) Mali.
*Breaking out in Constantinople in 1345, the plague killed one-third of the European population (75 -200 million) by the time it died out in 1353.
ICE is deploying a new tool called ELITE, powered by Palantir, to track Americans and illegals, using predictive models and scores to determine where someone might travel so ICE can make arrests.
Last week, a clip on social media went viral that depicts an ICE agent in Portland, Maine telling a woman that she has photographed, filmed, placed in a database and is now considered a “domestic terrorist.”
Woman: “Why are you taking my information down?”
ICE: “Because we have a nice little database, and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist.”
[…]
This appears to be a reoccurring theme with ICE.
According to Ken Klippenstein, a federal law enforcement official with ICE told the investigative journalist that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ordered immigration officers to gather identifying information about anyone filming them and to “send that information to Intel who will do a ‘work-up’ on them.” “Meaning, trying to identify them via social media, running their license plates if available, and running a criminal history check,” the anonymous federal source explained.
[…]
Klippenstein reported:
The directive is part of a sweeping, nationwide effort by U.S. immigration authorities to identify anyone and everyone trying to film their conduct. This includes not just ICE but other Department of Homeland Security agencies like Border Patrol as well.
[…]
If you recall, ICE agents were seen filming Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle before she was fatally shot in the head several times.
[…]
This then begs the question, is this one of the underlying reasons why ICE is doing what they are doing? After all, they were given tons of new biometric tools from a new round of funding last year.
[…]
Last week, Biometric Updatepublished a startling report on ICE’s AI predictive tool called ELITE, powered by Palantir. “Backed by $160 million in contracts, ICE’s dystopian tech enforcement architecture is straining long-standing legal boundaries,” said author Anthony Kimery.
[…]
Last summer, it was revealed President Donald Trump contracted Palantir to compile every American’s private and personal data, including DNA, to create a master database. A number of departments received access to Palantir’s products, particularly the DHS and Palantir’s Foundry software.
[…]
The WinePress has further explained what Palantir does in other reports and why there is so much controversy surrounding the company. Palantir founder Peter Thiel is a major donor to Donald Trump and JD Vance. Business Reform also had a good title for the company: “Palantir: Because There Are Some Lines Google Won’t Cross.”
The Trump administration has already begun creating a list of “extremists” in the U.S.
[…]
But DHS and ICE have been given even more biometric tools to use at their disposal.
Building off of this databasing, ICE uses its cameras and phones for facial recognition to match identities in their database, even on children. Now a lawsuit has been filed after minors in Chicago were detained by ICE for not being able to provide legal ID, even though they are minors and were not granted state-registered IDs.
When masked federal agents stopped two teenagers riding their bikes near an Illinois high school last fall, the encounter followed a now familiar script. The agents demanded proof of citizenship. One of the teenagers, who said he was 16 and a U.S. citizen, told the agents he had a school ID, but did not have it on him.
According to a lawsuitfiled by the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago, one agent then asked another, “Can you do facial?” The other agent pointed a cell phone at the teenager, appearing to take a photo of his face.
That moment, captured not by body camera footage but by sworn allegations, has become emblematic of a shift now under legal scrutiny as mobile facial recognition expands into everyday encounters with children far from the border and outside the controlled settings DHS has traditionally used to justify biometric identification.
The lawsuit accuses the DHS, component agencies ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and senior Trump administration officials, of operating an unlawful interior enforcement regime built around coercive stops and the routine use of mobile biometric tools.
Among its most serious allegations is that DHS agents have used facial recognition on minors who are U.S. citizens without consent, individualized suspicion, or meaningful public limits on retention and sharing.
At the center of the case is DHS’s use of Mobile Fortify, a field-deployed application that scans fingerprints and performs facial recognition, then compares collected data against multiple DHS databases, including CBP’s Traveler Verification Service, Border Patrol systems, and Office of Biometric Identity Management’s Automated Biometric Identification System.
[…] The lawsuit cites a DHS Privacy Threshold Analysis stating that ICE agents may use Mobile Fortify when they “encounter an individual or associates of that individual,” and that agents “do not know an individual’s citizenship at the time of initial encounter” and use Mobile Fortify to determine or verify identity.
The same passage, as quoted in the complaint, authorizes collection in identifiable form “regardless of citizenship or immigration status,” acknowledging that a photo captured could be of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
The lawsuit further alleges DHS retains biometric data collected through Mobile Fortify, regardless of citizenship or age, for up to fifteen years. If that claim is borne out, children subjected to brief street encounters could carry a biometric record into adulthood without being charged, arrested, or even suspected of wrongdoing.
DHS policy, according to the report, claims they have a respected age policy but there are no aptly defined guardrails.
Department-wide use of facial recognition and face capture technology was permitted under the Biden administration in 2023 issued under Directive 026-11. It states that DHS “does not collect, use, disseminate, or retain” biometric data for protected individuals including age, but “does not require parental notice or consent, does not mandate shortened retention periods for juvenile data, and does not impose a child-specific proportionality analysis,” Kimery noted.
The author adds:
That omission becomes decisive once facial recognition migrates from controlled checkpoints into coercive street encounters, where a teenager cannot meaningfully opt out and a child confronted by armed agents cannot meaningfully consent.
Directive 026-11 also draws a bright line around enforcement. It clearly states that facial recognition used for identification “may not be used as the sole basis for law or civil enforcement related actions,” and potential matches must be manually reviewed by human examiners before action is taken.
That safeguard reflects DHS’s recognition that facial recognition is probabilistic and context-dependent, and it is meant to prevent automation-driven enforcement.
In street-level encounters involving minors, however, a facial scan can function as de facto identity confirmation in real time, shaping how agents question, detain, or release a child, even if no arrest follows.
The lawsuit goes even further to assert that the Trump administration rescinded this directive sometime on or around February 14th, 2025.
Kimery concludes:
For minors, that uncertainty has a human cost. If children’s facial images are being captured during street encounters and retained for years, the public still lacks the basic documentation needed to understand how those images are stored, shared, audited, or removed.
[…] Memoranda of understanding governing biometric data sharing with state, local, or private partners are often withheld or heavily redacted. As a result, it is often impossible to trace how a child’s facial image moves from a brief encounter into DHS systems, vendor platforms, or partner databases, or whether it can ever be removed.
The consequences, however, are already playing out in public on sidewalks, near schools, and in the lives of children who may never know where their biometric identities now reside.
ICE agents confronting and detaining small children has increasingly occurred and come to the public forefront.
DHS plans to continue to invest in even more biometric technologies.
Last week, the DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) published a Request for Informationon different disciplines, to test and research, in the areas of include “behavioral economics and social science; communications and network systems; cybersecurity; software development and quality assurance; data science and analytics; biometrics; identity access and management; modeling and simulation; artificial intelligence; machine learning; autonomous systems; explosives; engineering; physics; biology; virology; and chemistry.”
[…]
This is how you know we live in an oppressive society, that filming ICE agents will get you listed as a domestic terrorist. What’s the big deal? If everything is fine then why the secrecy? Why are Americans being treated as terrorists in our own country?
But such oppression and tyranny has been implemented since 9/11 with the Patriot Act where legal citizens are seen as terrorists in order to save us from terrorists… and it was also after 9/11 under Bush the DHS was created in the first place. Constitutionally, this department should be illegal. But the same hypocrites who once chastised the Patriot Act and Bush’s so-called War on Global Terror, foreign and domestic, are now perfectly fine with it now. Of course, it has not directly affected this particular class of people; oh, but when it does eventually affect them then in some way, then they’ll whine and cry about their Constitutional rights.
It is important to emphasize that ICE under Trump has deported very few people, flying in the face of his campaign promises of mass-deportation, and has deported significantly less than President Obama and, at this pace, even President Biden, as I have previously documented; and once you remove self-deportations, the number really goes down.
[…]
As a matter of fact, this administration is lauding all the people they’ve turned illegal to legal. “Under the Trump admin, we’ve sped up our process and added integrity to the visa programs, to green cards, to all of that, but also more people are becoming naturalized under this admin than ever before. More people are becoming citizens,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in November. Furthermore, this administration has been very taciturn on H-1B and other visa programs, and its refusal to seriously tighten the loopholes and abuses. Charging companies a fee does not solve the issue as big-tech especially will continue to pay out (and they are) to get these cheap wage workers on shore.
With this in mind —
I think we can now see why deportations are so low. ICE is not deporting, they are databasing. The DHS is being used to usher in digital ID and tokenized economics under the guise of tackling immigration.
Bear in mind also that Noem recently confirmed that ICE will be asking citizens to prove their identities, but REAL ID will not suffice in many cases.
[…]
So now ICE brags about databasing Americans — which bleeds into big-brother tech bros such as Palantir and Oracle, who will feed every little bit about us into their AI systems for the purpose of social credit scores, mass 24/7 surveillance, and retroactively affecting digital ID wallets in a tokenized economy.
It does not take a genius to see where this is all headed. As always, this right vs left fedslop psyop is designed to make you focus on the wrong things and not observe the nasty underbelly. Set up some bad actors and paid shills to go around and heckle ICE and police, wait for these severely undertrained and undisciplined ICE goons to make a new kneejerk and hair trigger response (literally), and then in comes broader militarization and tokenized social credit scores.
It also does not take a genius to see that this system will quickly expand to anyone who questions the administration and the polices of it.
