We’ve lost our ability to be nuanced about the past | Courier-Herald – Enumclaw Courier-Herald

In The Six Grandfathers, Mount Rushmore, and our national identity July 8, ECH editor Ray Miller-Still mentions the Sioux name for Mount Rushmore no less than eight times.

He goes on to list the sins of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt. What a pity. The writer correctly points out that the four images were originally conceived to represent the founding, expansion, preservation and unification of the United States. I would guess that most visitors to the site understand that. Some people apparently now believe that statues, carvings and other images of historical Americans are similar (in a way) to the saints of the Catholic Church, i.e. that they are to be personally hallowed because of their perfection, but that is not true in the case of American icons they are not saints. Their images represent an idea and an ideal most often related to an accomplishment intended to invoke inspiration, aspiration and appreciation but not veneration.

Unfortunately it seems that we have lost the ability to consider this type of nuance, subtlety and ambiguity in our national discussions. What a pity. About 10 years ago, I was inspired by an article in the Wall Street Journal by Bret Stephens entitled Our Incompetent Civilization. The principles he cited are timeless, namely that there are limits to virtue and that while we must learn from history we cannot let it cripple us. As we try to cleanse our history we go too far, we inflict a deeply debilitating wound on ourselves a self loathing that is polarizing and immobilizing. What a pity.

Orwell said, The most effective way to destroy a people is to deny and obliterate their understanding of their own history. The high priests of the new totalitarianism preach this gospel of nihilism. Theyre unaware that their scripture and orthodoxy are not new, it never works, it leads to destruction but I fear we will travel down this dangerous path anew. Again, what a pity.

Leaked Documents Show Police Knew Far-Right Extremists Were the Real Threat at Protests, Not Antifa – The Intercept

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

As protests against police violence spread to every state in the U.S. and dramatic images flooded in from cities across the country, President Donald Trump and his attorney general spun an ominous story of opportunistic leftists exploiting a national trauma to sow chaos and disorder. They were the anti-fascists known as antifa, and according to the administration they were domestic terrorists who would be policed accordingly.

But while the White House beat the drum for a crackdown on a leaderless movement on the left, law enforcement offices across the country were sharing detailed reports of far-right extremists seeking to attack the protesters and police during the countrys historic demonstrations,a trove of newly leaked documents reveals.

Among the steady stream of threats fromthe far-right were repeated encounters between law enforcement and heavily armed adherents of the so-called boogaloo movement,which welcomes armed confrontation with cops as means to trigger civil war. With much of the U.S. policing apparatus on the hunt for antifa instigators, those violent aspirations appear to have materialized in a string of targeted attacks in California that lefta federal protective services officer and a sheriffs deputy dead and several other law enforcement officials wounded.

The cache of law enforcement materials was recently hacked and posted online under the title BlueLeaks, providing an unprecedented look at the communications between state, local, and federal law enforcement in the face of the nationwide protests. In an analysis of nearly 300 documents that reference antifa, The Intercept found repeated instances of antifa and left-wing protesting activities cast in cartoonishly grim terms alongside more substantive reports of lethal right-wing violence and threats that have received scant mention from top Trump administration officials.

Throughout the documents you see counterterrorism agencies using extremism so broadly as to mean virtually anything that encompasses dissent, Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLUs National Security Project, told The Intercept. There are instances in which people engaging in white supremacist violence get the benefit of the doubt as potential lone offenders, while people of color and those who dissent against government injustice are smeared as threats with guilt by association.

Michael German, a former FBI agent specializing in domestic terrorism and current fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, said the materials were rife with examples of law enforcement intelligence being politicized in ways that endangered both protesters and police alike. Terrorism is distinguished from other violence by its political nature and, as a result, counterterrorism is often highly politicized as well, German told The Intercept. Here were seeing where this politicization of counterterrorism is being reflected in intelligence documents that are going out and are intended to inform state and local law enforcement on the ground. He added:Overall, what you see is a strange sensationalization of the antifa threats and that doesnt exist when looking at the boogaloo documents.

German argued that the impulse to paint both sides of the political spectrum with the same brush, despite the fact that only the far right is actively killing people, is among the most dangerous features of modern American law enforcement. In his review of the documents produced in response to the recent protests, German said purported threats from antifa were routinely overblown, often framed vandalism as terrorism and were typically absent of concrete evidence of serious criminal activity.

Its chatter, its intelligence reporting suggests, he said. On June 2, for example, the Department of Homeland Security circulated a tweet to law enforcement agencies across the country reporting that antifa was stashing bricks to fuel protests. The intelligence made its way to a law enforcement fusion center in Maine. Last week, Mainer magazine tracked down the original source of the tweet: a far-right, pro-Trump biker who goes by the name the Wolfman, who claimed that Facebook kept deleting his brick-planting evidence because they are BLM supporters.

You have these heavily armed groups right there, who have a much more direct and lengthy history of violence than anything antifa or anarchist-involved does.

Even if antifa were staging bricks, German said, you have these heavily armed groups right there, who have a much more direct and lengthy history of violence than anything antifa or anarchist-involved does. Unlike the information circulated about antifa, much of the intelligence reporting in the BlueLeaks documents regarding threats from the far right is tightly focused on specific events, German noted. Thats the way it should be, he said. Far-right extremists have been targeting and killing law enforcement, not to mention members of the general public, for generations, German explained, and in fact, the governments own documents show that those ideas were percolating in extremist corners of the right at the same time that Trump and U.S. Attorney General William Barr were preparing to crack down on the left.

While antifa has been a right-wing boogeyman for years, the administrations rhetoric ramped up in late May, with Trump tweeting that he would designate the movement as a terrorist organization. Barr followed the tweet with a Department of Justice statement reporting that federal investigators would work to identify criminal organizers and instigators who were hijacking the protests, and warning that the violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly.

In the weeks since Barrs statement was issued, The Intercept has published accounts of FBI agents in multiple statestargeting individuals with a perceived relationship to antifa for interviews and potential informant work.Meanwhile, the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, an official fundraising arm of the president,has been runningcampaign ads urging donors to send money to show support for the administrations antifa enforcement campaign.

Yet the leaked materials show that on May 29, two days before Trump tweeted that antifa would be labeled a terrorist organization and Barr issued his DOJ statement, the presidents own DHS analysts issued an open source intelligence report detailing how a white supremacist channel on Telegram, an encrypted messaging service, was encouraging followers to capitalize on the unrest by targeting the police with Molotov cocktails and firearms.

The use of firearms greatly influences the scale and intensity of these events, a source in the group, titled National Accelerationist Revival, wrote on May 27, advising followers to break police lines with cocktails, chainsaws, and firearms. At the time, DHS reported, the group included more than 3,400 subscribers. Looting and shoplifting are both cool and whites should be doing it way more, the source went on. When the laws no longer benefit you, break them for personal gain. If you dont feel like buying something, steal it. If you dont feel like driving slow, drive fast. If you dont like someone, hurt them.

We ought to revel in the destruction of the police state, they wrote. It is just as necessary to break down the police state and the system of control as it is to spread racial hatred.

In a separate document disseminated the following day, DHS warned its workforce that the nations period of darkness would soon worsen, as violent protest movements grew. Domestic extremists would capitalize on the unrest to take over government facilities and attack law enforcement, DHS predicted, with protests following police killings of civilians posing a high risk of escalating to both premeditated and random attacks targeting law enforcement officers nationwide. The document went on to describe how users of a white supremacist extremist Telegram channel attempted to incite followers to engage in violence and start the boogaloo a term used by some violent extremists to refer to the start of a second Civil War by shooting in a crowd.

Among the developments cited in the bulletin was the May 29 assassination of a federal court security guard in Oakland. The alleged perpetrator would later be identified as Steven Carrillo, a 32-year-old sergeant in an elite Air Force security unit. According to authorities, Carrillo would go on to ambush and kill a sheriffs deputy and wound several others in a second targeted attack days later. In court filings last month, the FBI reported thatthe airman had a ballistics vest bearing a boogaloo patch.Following a shootout with police, Carrillo reportedly used his own blood to scrawl phrases associated with the movement on the hood of a vehicle he had carjacked.

In the run-up to the initial attack, federal authorities said Carrillo made several comments in a Facebook group with his accused accomplices arguing that the protests were an ideal opportunity to kill law enforcement whom he referred to as soup bois, a reference to the alphabet soup of law enforcement titles and kick off a broader nationwide conflagration. Go to the riots and support our own cause, Carrillo reportedly wrote on the morning of the attacks. Show them the real targets. Use their anger to fuel our fire. Think outside the box. We have mobs of angry people to use to our advantage.

At approximately 9:44 p.m, Carrillo and his accused partner, Robert Alvin Justus Jr., rolled up in a white van outside the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building. The side door of the vehicle slid open and Carrillo opened fire. Fifty-three-year-old David Patrick Underwood was shot dead. His partner was wounded. Did you see how they fucking fell? Justus would later recall Carrillo exclaiming, as the van took off into the night.

While Carrillo was on the run in California, the FBIs Minneapolis office circulated uncorroborated online discussions between unidentified individuals indicating that Antifa wanted to massacre National Guard personnel at the Minnesota State Capitol in an unprecedented vehicle-born explosive attack. In the June 1 report, the bureaus Minneapolis office noted that the intelligence coming in was based on photos of National Guard vehicles that did not appear to come from Minnesota, that it was the product of an outside office, and that given current circumstances in the Twin Cities, the FBI Minneapolis Field Office cautions that the source may have potentially provided intelligence to influence recipients.

That same morning, Trump tweeted a quote from Fox and Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade: I dont see any indication that there were any white supremist [sic] groups mixing in. This is an ANTIFA Organization. It seems that the first time we saw it in a major way was Occupy Wall Street. Its the same mindset. The president endorsed Kilmeades assessment, writing in all caps, TRUE! Later in the day, Trump appeared in the Rose Garden of the White House to announce that he would mobilize military forces to quash the violence and restore security and safety in America. The president was quick to point out the role of professional anarchists, violent mobs arsonists, looters, criminals, rider rioters, Antifa, and others in creating unrest. A federal officer in California, an African American enforcement hero, was shot and killed, he said, referring to Underwood and the targeted attack in Oakland.

Trump made no mention of groups on the far right. Behind the scenes, however, DHS was acknowledging media reports indicating that neo-Nazi, and other paramilitary far-right groups, are calling for terror attacks during the ongoing unrest throughout the United States.

A series of Telegram accounts linked to a wider network of paramilitary far-right extremists have indicated that ongoing disturbances are spreading Americas police forces thin, making this the ideal time to strike with a strategic attack, the agency reported in a round-up of intelligence reports coming in from around the country, published the following morning. One account, with thousands of followers and links to several neo-Nazi terror groups like The Base and the Nordic Resistance Movement, called for attacks on critical infrastructure. The agency noted that Twitter had recently removed a fake antifa account created by a known white supremacist group that had issued a call to violence.

Although the account only had a few hundred followers, it is an example of white supremacists seeking to inflame tensions in the United States, DHS reported.

According to a distribution list at the bottom of the report, the document was shared with the White House Situation Room, DHS headquarters, federal interagency operations centers, and state and local partners. The Intercept sent detailed lists of questions regarding documents in the BlueLeaks trove to the White House, the Department of Justice, and DHS. None responded. The FBI referred The Intercept to an interview director Christopher Wray gave to Fox News in a late June, in which he appeared to distance the bureau from the more strident antifa rhetoric of Barr and Trump. Our efforts are focused on identifying, investigating, and disrupting individuals that are inciting violence and engaging in criminal activity, the bureau said in a statement. We are not focused on peaceful protests.

Despite the apparent stream of intelligence indicating that the far right was looking to use the protests as cover to attack law enforcement and create disorder, the FBI,by June 2, was still uncertain whether the attack in Oakland was linked to the demonstrations. At this time, the FBI is unable to determine if this incident is related to the civil unrest in the Oakland area, the bureau noted in a lengthy situation report. Carrillos arrest was still four days away.

Onthe heels of Barrs antifa statement, the FBI noted that its field offices had been encouraged to canvass sources for intelligence associated with violent or illegal extremist activity.The bureau added that any attempts by law enforcement to arrest individuals openly carrying guns at protests, as well as increased use of the National Guard, was likely to draw more anti-government militias into the streets. The 16-page FBI report did not mention the boogaloo movement nor any of the many other domesticextremist groups of the American far right, by name. It did, however, highlight antifaand anarchists more than a half dozen times.

In Newark, New Jersey, police and FBI investigators had identified a probable Antifa related individual, who was arrested for possessing a knife, a hatchet, and a jar of gasoline. Though the mans charge was unclear, the FBI reported that it had obtained one of his Facebook posts which contained a video of him at the riots inciting others to steal from the stores while he stood guard. With the man having described himself as anti-government and anti-authority, the FBI reported that its Newark office believes this profile is consistent with Antifa. While agents were investigating the man in Newark, the FBIs field office in Spokane, Washington, was looking into an antifa group reportedly headed through Idaho and on to Minneapolis. In Denver, meanwhile, the FBI was investigating the alleged transfer of riot supplies to antifa members, and in Philadelphia, authorities were attempting to confirm if any of the individuals arrested by Philadelphia Police Department have Antifa affiliations.

The portrait the FBI painted of the country was chaotic, with nearly three dozen FBI SWAT teams in various stages of deployment nationwide. The report noted multiple officer related shootings in the 12 hours preceding its dissemination, including the killing of a police officer in Las Vegas and an assailant who allegedly fired on police officers and a National Guard patrol in Kentucky. Nearly 200 pistols and rifles had been stolen from locations in San Francisco and Albuquerque, New Mexico, the FBI reported; it was unclear by whom.

While a variety of groups had been linked to the unrest, the FBI noted that much of the violence and vandalism is perpetrated by opportunistic, individual actors acting without specific direction. Nonetheless, the bureau would continue to aggressively seek to corroborate whether or not there is in fact an organized effort to incite violence by either known criminal groups or domestic violent extremists, which apparently included running down uncorroborated intelligence about alleged participation of Venezuelan and Nicaraguan socialist groups. According to the report, with more than 4,000 arrests across the country, the FBI had tagged nearly 200 incidents as riot related threats and was in the process of investigating 40 cases associated with violent protests.

With Trump hyping antifa hysteria in Washington, D.C., reports of lurking leftists began cropping around the country. In Colorado, a Denver resident reported that they had followed a suspicious person into their apartment complex who looked to be attempting to set the building on fire. Fairly certain he was a member of an Antifa like group, the resident wrote, adding that there were two Antifa safe houses on our block. I know this because they have been walking past our house telling us they can offer shelter, food, supplies, etc. also they have been hiding on our stoop when Swat drives by and they keep discussing their plans and where they are going. They have a central phone # they are calling to get updates and where they need to go to, the resident said. Please nip this shit in the ass. This is the second time in two days we had someone attempt to burn down our apartment building/neighboring buildings. Get these terrorists out of our city please!

Please nip this shit in the ass. This is the second time in two days we had someone attempt to burn down our apartment building/neighboring buildings. Get these terrorists out of our city please!

The Colorado Information Analysis Center, a law enforcement fusion center, listed the type of activity described in the complaint as terrorism.CIAC did not respond to a request for comment for this story.

It wasnt just residents worried about antifa. CIAC also received a request from the Douglas County Sheriffs Department seeking information on ANTIFA, and possibility of acts targeting our AOR area of operations. In neighboring Nebraska, the FBIs Omaha office was running down information indicating that an unidentified individual who claimed to be a member of ANTIFA had posted a Craigslist ad offering to pay up to 1,000 individuals $25 per hour to cause as much chaos and destruction as possible in nightly violent protests. In Virginia, the FBI warned that black lines spray-painted on federal buildings was a sign of antifa vandalism to come.

All over the country, from California to Texas to West Virginia, law enforcement was chasing antifa leads and looking to hunt down instigators. The BlueLeaks documents suggest a borderline obsession on the part of some law enforcement offices with painting antifa, anarchists, and left-wing dissent more broadly as a serious terrorist threat. In early June, New Jerseys Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) issued a two-page report detailing how legal observers with the National Lawyers Guild, a progressive association of attorneys and legal advocates that has been around since the 1930s and sends representatives to public protests to monitor police activity, were in fact an anarchist extremist subgroup.

Lawyers may be identified by their bright neon green hats or clothing; however, these individual [sic] may or may not be licensed lawyers, the office warned. Their role is to record information regarding the interactions Antifa members are having during an arrest. This individual will record the interaction with the aid of another member, while noting information. The lawyer will also obtain booking information and are known to argue with police over arrests and interactions.

Anti-fascists werebent on infiltrating protests over the killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police Officer Derek Chauvin to further their violent ideology, the New Jersey office reported, and continue to attack government institutions; use violent counter-protest tactics against adversarial groups, including law enforcement; and target political figures representing disparate views.

This was not the first time the New Jerseys homeland security office had set its sights on leftists. In a 2018 report, the office compiled a color-coded chart of the biggest terror threats to New Jersey. Anarchist extremists were third, in the moderate section below Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula but above the Islamic State. Anarchists made the list again in 2019, this time climbing to second, just below Homegrown Violent Extremists. They fell to third in 2020, however, with White Supremacist Extremists finally cracking New Jerseys top three afterseveral centuries of organized terror and killing.

TheIntercept asked NJOHSP about its justification forconsidering anarchists a greater public safety threat than terror groups that have killed thousands of people, and whether the office has ever aided investigations into legal observers. The office said that it does not disclose operational or investigative details and sources.

The government fusion centers that produce the kind of intelligence found in the BlueLeaks breach have been a problem for years, said Freddy Martinez, a policy analyst at Open the Government, a nonpartisan, nonprofit collective that works to peel back post-9/11 government secrecy through research and open records collection. Martinez was a lead author on a report published earlier this year detailing how the governments billion-dollar network of fusion centers exhibit a persistent pattern of violating Americans privacy and civil liberties, producing unreliable and ineffective information, and resisting financial and other types of standard public accountability.

The BlueLeaks documents show that the problems with fusion centers go beyond efficiency, Martinez argued. It would be easy to say that the information is inaccurate, wrong, costly, which I think is true, but it also sort of describes what the priorities of the federal government are on counterterrorism, he said. The government is aware of what theyre doing. Its a very intentional, Well, were just going to criminalize dissent any way we can.

German, the former FBI agent, described how sensationalized, incomplete, or biased fusion center reporting can have a dangerous impact on the ground, particularly in complex, emotionally charged protest situations. I always try to read these and put myself in the shoes of a young police officer that doesnt know anything about this subject, he said. All this tells me to do is be very afraid of these people and imagine the worst of anything that they do.

You can kind of understand why their response is so aggressive and violent, he said. Theyre scared to death, and theyre scared to death because theres this echo chamber of right-wing media, White House statements and, unfortunately, law enforcement intelligence.

As law enforcement worked to find cases that would support the attorney generals portrait of a looming antifa menace, evidence mounted in late May and early June of right-wing extremists amassing weapons, plotting terror attacks, and killing law enforcement officials.

In Denver, CAIC reported a police seizure of several military-style assault rifles from a vehicle occupied by a group of self-identified anti-government individuals who call themselves Boogaloo Bois near a protest on May 29. The report, which began by noting that an anarchist blog had referred to police as pigs and included photos of anarchy As spray-painted on buildings, went on to list eight examples of far-right extremists across the country vigorously threatening violence towards recent protests, including sharing images of weapons stockpiles and tips on sabotaging police vehicles, neo-Nazis encouraging their brethren to dress up as law enforcement and film themselves attacking black people and calls to form small crews that would be willing to shed blood.

Similar reports were filtering in from law enforcement in Minneapolis and Austin, Texas, where intelligence analysts released a bulletin advising law enforcement to be on the lookout for three young men in tactical gear who were detained in possession of two AR style rifles, one AK style rifle, two handguns, and several hundred rounds of ammunition, as well as gas masks. The men gave conflicting statements about where they had been and what they were doing in Austin, the Austin Regional Intelligence Center reported. Searches of social media show sympathetic views toward the Boogaloo Bois, an anti-government movement, as well as several other anti-police sentiments, the report stated, adding that one of the subjects Facebook pages included a post that said he did not expect to be here next year and other comments suggesting that he may take action against law enforcement.

On June 4, the U.S. military weighed in on the protests in the form of a report published by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which noted that federal prosecutors had charged three men connected with the boogaloo movement with terrorism offenses intended to spark violence at protests related to Floyds killing. Like Carrillo in California, all three of the men Navy veteran Stephan Parshall, Army reservist Andrew Lynam, and Air Force veteran William Loomis had ties to the U.S. military, NCIS noted, adding that it had published a Threat Awareness Message regarding the boogaloo movement earlier this year.

Racially motivated violent extremist (RMVE) movements that subscribe to boogaloo have engaged in conceptual discussions about recruiting military or former military members for their perceived knowledge of combat training, the naval investigative agency stated. NCIS cannot discount the possibility of DoD affiliated individuals sympathetic to or engaged in the boogaloo movement.

A number of the details surrounding the Nevada arrests track with a longer history of militant, far-right extremism in the United States, said Kathleen Belew, a history professor at the University of Chicago and author of the book Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America. Prosecutors in the case allege that before setting their sights on a Black Lives Matter protest in Las Vegas, the three men discussed a potential attack targeting facilities at the Hoover Dam. According to Belew, the dam has been a target in the collective imagination of far-right extremists going back decades, including extremists linked to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.This goes way back, Belew told The Intercept. Its not just that theres a social movement that is attempting to kill cops and damage infrastructure targets and attack protesters its that its a movement that has been trying to do this for decades, if not generations, and has largely gone unopposed by our courts, by our law enforcement, by our military, by our executives.

The leaked documents charting law enforcements treatment of antifa versus groups like the boogaloo bois reflect adangerous American impulse to draw equivalencies, Belew argued. Many reasonable people carry around with them as part of the way that we learn about how politics works this idea that there are two sides of everything, she said. This is a deeply ingrained belief in our culture, and theres a historical set of reasons why we think about politics that way, but this is actually not a case where there are two sides of things that are the same.

The leaked documents charting law enforcements treatment of antifa versus groups like the boogaloo bois reflect adangerous American impulse to draw equivalencies.

This is a case where there is a long casualty list carried out by the white power movement, which has declared war against the country, she said. And there is, I think, a quite localized social movement of people who oppose it, but who have not attacked civilians, who have not attacked infrastructure, who have not attempted to overthrow the country.

With a pandemic still raging, soaring unemployment, the most expansive civil rights protests in generations, and a coming presidential election, the nation is facing an interlocking set of problemsthat elevate the risk for far-right violence, Belew noted. Were off the map in a number of ways, she said, and while historians are trained not to forecast the future, she added, I will say that as somebody who has been studying this for more than a decade, Ive never been so worried. Whats particularly troubling, she argued, is that the historical archive shows aclear link between wars abroad and rising right-wingviolence at home Belews book charts that history from the Vietnam War through militia movements of the 1990s. With the country now having been at war for close to two decades, thequestion of blowback is not a matter of if, but when and how. This set of conditions is very, very troubling for people who are concerned about white power violence,Belew said.

On June 6, the FBI released another situation report detailing the state of protests across the country. Though Barr and Trump had pointed fingers at a shadowy network of leftist agitators pulling the protests strings, the bureau continued to assess that the majority of the violence and vandalism appeared opportunistic in nature. With more than 13,600 arrests nationwide, the FBI reported that the Department of Justice had charged 70 individuals with federal crimes, most involving property damage and illegal activities that involved crossing state lines. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had reported 81 burglaries involving the theft of guns, the FBI noted, leading to an estimated loss of 1,116 firearms, as well as 876 reported arsons and 76 explosive incidents.

While the FBI report did note that both right wing and anarchist extremists could be involved in efforts to further ignite violence, it was again only antifa that was singled out by name. At one point, the FBI suggested that videos of law enforcement officers flashing the OK hand signal often used by white nationalists and the far right might actually be part of a left-wing plot to make police look bad. Some protestors and possible ANTIFA members attempted to bait law enforcement into displaying the OK hand sign, the FBI reported. These individuals plan to photograph the officers and use the photographs as propaganda to discredit the officers.

With the election four months away, the Trump administration has pressed forward with a seemingly coordinated effort to link the nebulous antifa movement to acts of violence committed by the far right.

On June 26, Fox News published an op-ed by Ken Cuccinelli, the acting deputy secretary of DHS, noting that Patrick Underwood, the federal court security officer gunned down in Oakland, was also a Black man whose life mattered.Cuccinelli suggested that his killing had been ignored because he was a member of law enforcement. As close trackers of the agency were quick to point out, Cuccinelli failed to mention that the man accused of killing Underwood has been linked to the boogaloo movement, which DHS leadership and the administration have been publicly quiet about. Cuccinelli, for his part, has been clear about the actors he sees as responsible for unrest in the country, tweeting on June 5, while his own agency was raising internal alarms about the far right and Underwoods family was still grieving, Their silence is deafening. Cities across America burn at the hands of antifa and anarchists while many political leaders are refusing to call it what it is: domestic terrorism.

The same day Cuccinellis op-ed was published, Barr sent a memo to top Justice Department officials announcing the creation of a new Task Force on Violent Anti-Government Extremists. In the memo, the attorney general argued that both antifa and the boogaloo movement pose continuing threats to lawlessness. Appearing at a law enforcement roundtable in Arkansas last week,Barr said that more than 150 people have beenhit with federal charges in relation to the recent protests. Joint Terrorism Task Forces, which partner FBI agents with state and local authorities, are currently pursuing more than 500 investigations, Barr added, targeting hardcore instigators.

We are building up our intelligence on these instigators, Barr said, noting that the JTTFs, which were previously used really for self-radicalized Jihadi threats, are now focusing on groups like antifa and boogaloo bois and others that are involved in this activity.

Shamsi said the Trump administration was using antifa as political bait.

It is a very dangerous thing when the top law enforcement official unleashes the massive weight of vague and overbroad terrorism labels and authorities for surveillance and investigation for political purposes, she said. Unsurprisingly, given what weve been warning about for years, those authorities are being used in deeply problematic ways. Its law enforcement agencies engaging in unjustified discriminatory investigations and bias-based profiling, which in turn generates inaccurate or unreliable information, which is then used by other federal, state and local agencies in a variety of contexts. Thats the problem with JTTFs and fusion centers and the post-911 infrastructure at its core.

For all of the governments talk of antifa, Mark Bray, a historian and author of the book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,said he wasless than impressed with the depth of the Trump administrations research into the generations-old international struggle to combat fascism. What stood out to me is, among their sources, they have zero books, Bray told The Intercept, after reviewing fusion center documents from 2016and 2017 aiming to explain antifa to law enforcement. Most of the research seems like someone who spent a weekend on Google, Bray said.

Its not difficult to see why an administration like Trumps might zero in on antifa as a law enforcement target, Bray said. The fact that its this coalition politics of the radical left and that it does not have one specific united organization means that with some very rough reading of what antifa is, you can basically kind of paint the entire radical left as more or less antifa, and considering that there is a broad identification with the politics of anti-fascism beyond membership to a specific group, you can see how that could be useful, he said. I do think that thats certainly part of the equation and was part of the motivation.

While Trumps threatened designation of antifa as a terror organization has not come about for important legal and logistical reasons, that was never really the point, German argued. They know as well as anybody does, because theyre not stupid people, that there is no organization called antifa, the former FBI agent said. Its an absurdity what theyre talking about, but theyre using it as this umbrella term to justify militant or vigilante violence against these groups, and also police violence against these groups. Theyre identifying the enemy and thats whats very dangerous.

In a letter to the heads of the CIA and the FBI on Tuesday, Democratic Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois and Peter Welch of Vermont, both members of House Intelligence Committee, sought information on the spread of false information regarding antifa. In a statement to The Intercept Wednesday morning, Krishnamoorthis office said: The prevalence of misinformation on falsely advertised Antifa gatherings and invasions calls into question how our federal, state, and local law enforcement are combating, and determining the origins of these rumors. Our Congressional inquiry intends to further explore the involvement of fusion centers in possibly exacerbating these rumors, which appear intended to stoke fear and division in local communities across the country.

The Trump administration has capitalized on the perceived threats that rattle around the conservative media echo chamber for political gain before, and the effects on public safety have been disastrous and tragic. During the 2018 midterm elections, the president seized on the supposed threat of migrant caravans making their way north from Central America as a sign that the out-of-control left was destroying the country. Far-right domestic terrorists cited the immigration invasion rhetoric to justify attacks targeting Mexicans and Jews in Texas and Pennsylvania that left dozens of people dead.

During a July 4 address from the White House honoring the U.S. military and affirming his commitment to protect monuments to the confederacy, Trump described the work his administration is engaged in as the 2020 election approaches and protests across the country continue. We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters, and people who in many instances have absolutely no clue what they are doing, he said.

German, who recently testified before lawmakers in Oregon about the longstanding problem of white supremacist infiltration in policing agencies, said it is critical to understand how the presidents language will be interpreted in many corners of the law enforcement community.

This rhetoric, reinforced by the attorney general, is not falling on unsympathetic ears the law enforcement intelligence network has been demonizing anarchists and other police violence protesters as a more dangerous threat for a long time, he said. Weve seen the way that the police responded to nonviolent civil disobedience at Standing Rock or in Ferguson versus the laissez-faire approach theyve used in a number of these white supremacist riots. They clearly can regulate their behavior. Why they choose not to when its groups protesting police violence is what I think local government needs to understand.

Leaked Documents Show Police Knew Far-Right Extremists Were the Real Threat at Protests, Not Antifa - The Intercept

From Antifa to Mothers in Helmets, Diverse Elements Fuel Portland Protests – The New York Times

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

PORTLAND, Ore. Angela Foster started showing up in the early days of the protests in Portland as one of the novice activists standing off to the side with no gear to protect herself.

Roughly 40 demonstrations later, she has moved toward the front, wearing a mask, goggles and a helmet, and bracing for law enforcement officers to charge at her.

Were not leaving, Ms. Foster said in an interview on Sunday.

While President Trump on Sunday described the unrest in Portland as a national threat involving anarchists and agitators, the protests have featured a wide array of demonstrators, many now galvanized by federal officers exemplifying the militarized enforcement that protesters have long denounced. Gatherings over the weekend grew to upward of 1,000 people the largest crowds in weeks.

Some protesters have exhibited the lawless behavior that federal officials have cited to justify their crackdown: Some have thrown cans and bottles, shot fireworks or pointed lasers at officers. One was recently accused of hitting a federal officer with a hammer. On Saturday, protesters set a fire in the police union headquarters.

But many others have demonstrated in the streets through peaceful means, appalled by the aggressive responses by federal officers that have left some protesters injured and the air inflamed with tear gas. They have held signs and marched. At times when people have thrown bottles, other demonstrators have rushed to try to stop them. On Saturday, a group of women locked arms and chanted: Feds stay clear. Moms are here.

Attending the protests for the first time over the weekend was Christopher David, 53, a former Navy civil engineering corps officer and a 1988 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy.

I wasnt even paying attention to the protests at all until the feds came in, Mr. David said. When that video came out of those two unmarked guys in camouflage abducting people and putting them in minivans, thats when I became aware.

He had taken a bus to the Portland courthouse and was about to leave around 10:45 p.m. when federal officers emerged and began advancing on the protesters. He said he felt the need to ask the officers, Why were they violating their oath to the Constitution?

Instead of getting an answer on Saturday, Mr. David, a 6-foot-2, 280-pound former Navy varsity wrestler, found himself being beaten with a baton by a federal officer dressed in camouflage fatigues as another doused him with pepper spray, according to video of the encounter.

Mr. David was taken to a nearby hospital, where a specialist said his right hand was broken and would require surgery to install pins, screws and plates.

Im appalled and disappointed at the feds behavior that whoever led them and trained them allowed them to become this way, Mr. David said. This is a failure of leadership more than it is a failure of their own individual behavior towards me.

Luis Enrique Marquez, a self-described anti-fascist who has been a fixture at protests in Portland for years, said the purpose of the federal officers arrival had appeared to be to scare the protesters. But he said the officers had instead galvanized them by displaying the types of actions that have concerned protesters for years.

With every act of violence they commit, our numbers seem to grow, people seem to get more angry, Mr. Marquez said.

Demonstrators in Portland, including some who identify as antifa, the loose coalition of self-described anti-fascist activists, have had years of conflict with law enforcement. But after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis set off a nationwide movement for racial justice and police accountability, the protest in Portland drew thousands to the streets.

That created powerful scenes including images of protesters blanketing the Burnside Bridge, each lying face down on the pavement for eight minutes and 46 seconds in remembrance of Mr. Floyd.

While those initial mass crowds have waned, hundreds of protesters have continued on with near-nightly confrontations with law enforcement.

Unlike demonstrators in Seattle at the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP, in which they established a permanent location that created tensions over how the police should handle unrest inside the area, protesters in Portland have brought the same feel of communal support throughout the downtown area. Volunteers wearing red crosses hand out ear plugs, eye wash and hand sanitizer. A mobile snack van provides Gatorade and food.

Jeremy Vajko, who operates the snack van, said he initially operated in the CHOP zone in Seattle and then came to Portland to support the people on the streets.

I noticed there was problems with nutrition, he said. People are sleep deprived.

During the daytime, the protests can draw families, businesspeople and political leaders such as Jo Ann Hardesty, a city commissioner. At night, the crowd is made up mostly of young people. Dozens of protesters at the front carry homemade shields made out of materials such as 55-gallon drums. Others stand farther back, shining lasers or gathering materials for building barricades.

But protesters tactics have strained the city. Business owners, already struggling because of the coronavirus pandemic, have cited the protests as a reason residents have been staying away from downtown.

Susan Landa, who for almost 31 years has owned a business selling gems and minerals downtown, said she supports peaceful protests and even defunding and shifting funds from the police.

But she said some of the protesters seemed like vandals and restless young people who were taking out rage because of the pandemic.

She added: Most of downtown is boarded up. We dont feel safe enough to open up. Its killing our businesses.

Some leaders in the Black community have also questioned the tactics, suggesting that some demonstrators have seized the moment in the aftermath of Mr. Floyds killing to advance their own causes.

Last month, officers from the Portland Police Bureau repeatedly fired tear gas and made arrests of protesters, who have variously called for the abolishment or defunding of the bureau, and for more accountability for law enforcement officers. The citys officers now operate with new limits on the use of tear gas after a judge ordered it to only be used if its needed to keep people safe.

Protesters have focused much of their attention on Mayor Ted Wheeler, who also serves as police commissioner. Crowds have at times gathered late at night outside Mr. Wheelers condo building, shining lights and chanting about the perceived failures of his administration.

For weeks, Mr. Wheeler has called for an end to destructive demonstrations, saying he is concerned about groups who continue to perpetrate violence and vandalism on our streets. But as federal agencies have moved in to play a role in combating the unrest, Mr. Wheeler has said he told the federal officials to stay away.

City police leaders have said they are not coordinating with federal agencies on the protests. But at one point early Saturday morning, a line of federal officers was moving up one street while a line of local police officers was moving up another, both advancing to keep protesters on the move. It was unclear what level of coordination was involved in that effort.

Mr. Trump said in a Twitter post on Sunday that federal officials were trying to help Portland, not hurt it. Mr. Trump, who has said states need to dominate protesters, said Portland officials had lost control.

They are missing in action, Mr. Trump wrote. We must protect Federal property, AND OUR PEOPLE.

Local leaders have grown increasingly vocal in opposition to the federal presence after one protester appeared to have been shot in the head with what was described as a less-lethal munition, severely injuring him in a bloody scene that was captured on video. Federal officers have operated from unmarked vans, at times seizing protesters and pulling them into the vehicles.

Joel B. Barker, who runs a marketing agency, said that he had frequently participated in protests during the day near the Justice Center, which includes the county jail, and that he usually left before 9 p.m. at the latest. He said that the protests drew a diverse crowd, reflecting a range of racial backgrounds, age and socioeconomic statuses, and that there was a sense of unity.

He lives about a mile away, and the demonstrations have not had any repercussions close to his home. The demonstrators, he said, were largely peaceful and not there to foment disorder.

Mr. Barker said he felt rage that the city was being used for what he believed was a ploy for the president in an election year.

Its really terrible, he added, and I want America to understand how terrible it is to feel like a city you love is being occupied by your own federal government, because thats how it feels.

Oregons attorney general, Ellen Rosenblum, has filed a lawsuit seeking to halt some of the detainment tactics used by federal officers. Her office has also opened a criminal investigation into the case of the protester who sustained a head injury.

Lisa Reynolds, a pediatrician who is running as a Democrat for a seat in the Oregon House of Representatives, said she had tried to keep her distance from the protests, largely because of the coronavirus crisis. But on Sunday, she said, she was going to be fitted for a respirator so she would be safer at protests where tear gas is used.

I think my fear kept me away, she said. I think this is a step where I need to put myself out there a little more.

Lars Thoughts Who Needs ANTIFA To Destroy Portland? Ted Wheeler Is Doing A Good Job All On His Own – 550 KTSA

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

Does anyone doubt that Portlands leaders have lost control of the riots?

Weeks ago, damage to public and private property totaled in the tens of millions.

Now, who knows?

Over the weekend, rioters set fire to the Portland Police union headquartersa punctuation point on their slogan: all cops are bastards

Rioters tell police they hope officers and their families die.

The most radical member of the Portland city council, Joanne Hardesty, has declared Mayor Wheeler doesnt know what hes doingthat Feckless Ted should hand over control to her. God Forbid.

President Trump warned city officials in Seattle and Portland, regain some semblance of control or I will do it for you.

Seattle managed to clear its Occupied Zone on Capitol Hill.

Now, officials all the way from New York City based Oregon Senator Ron Wyden to members of congress and city leaders have announced they dont want federal law enforcement, telling them to go home.

Last time I checked, Portlandia still sits inside the United States of Americawhich means federal law enforcement has a role in doing the job if Oregon Leaders refuse to.

Mayor Wheeler insists he has the riots under control. Bet the Captain of the Titanic said the same thing.

Wheeler and the rest apparently want the war zone to continue and the downtown community lacks the guts to stand up and demand it stop. Will the last business to leave please turn out the lights?

Think About It: Intimidation prospective – Sequim Gazette

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

His voice was deep and gruff. His message was unmistakable. He questioned my right to live. He was upset that I presented an alternative view to his about the clinical operations of the new community cancer center in Sequim.

He didnt leave his name, let alone an invitation to dialogue over his concerns.

The threat didnt worry me because the messenger already exposed himself as a coward in shielding his threat in anonymity. Still, I couldnt help but feel a sense of loss and weariness that he was representative of part of our American culture that felt justified in intimidating another person, no matter how innocent.

This incident occurred a few years after the turn of the century. Little did I know then that such threats would become commonplace and escalate to open actions of intimidation and, in some cases, terrorization.

Local intimidation

Most of us have read Peninsula Daily News reporting of the events that took place in Forks in which a family of people were interrogated by a group of local men as they left a grocery store, followed and trapped by felled trees at a campsite they reserved for a weekend of touring the location of the Twilight sagas. The harassers are said to have believed social media postings that Antifa was coming to rural communities in buses to create mayhem. The family was driving a bus that doubled as a living space.

Did I mention the family of three women and one man were greatly outnumbered by a group of men apparently bent on cornering these Twilight adventurers?

Meanwhile, the day before, a group of greater Sequim folks gathered to stage a demonstration in support of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. They were joined by a group of men carrying rifles. The armed men apparently read similar social media postings about Antifa coming, although it is said that these men were more concerned about Antifa staging violently disruptive demonstrations.

Fortunately for all involved, the Sequim situation was resolved peacefully when the armed men could see that this group of young to middle age to old people were neither armed nor violent protesters.

The Forks story is unfinished.

PDN reporter Paul Gottlieb is continuing to report on the Forks story and related recriminations and investigations. Weve learned from his reporting that the family was traumatized and that several Forks residents are ashamed and embarrassed by the treatment of the family, enough to put an apologetic ad in the familys hometown paper and start a community roll of paper with signatures to send to the family.

We recently learned that County Sheriff Bill Benedict is diligently investigating the incident to establish accountability for the trauma experienced by the family, the destruction of property and the embarrassment if not shame of the Forks community, goals not shared by the harassers.

The men have formed a wall of silence. So far, its not entirely clear why except there could be trouble ahead for the men who felled the trees and for everyone involved for false imprisonment which Benedict says is a felony.

Here on the North Olympic Peninsula we had two cases of what I will call deliberate and unwarranted intimidation under the guise of protecting the community. In Sequim, the armed men came prepared to use lethal force. In Forks, the group of men harassed and cornered an innocent family.

No one has been charged in either case. Seeking to intimidate and threaten people doesnt seem to be a crime. Neither is social media spreading lies about threats in an effort to incite fear, anger and potentially violence.

Just what meets the test of crying fire in a movie theater?

Prelude to answers

My brain churns trying to understand why a swift prelude to justice occurred for a man who threw eggs at demonstrators and used racial/other slurs. He was quickly charged with a hate crime in Clallam Bay. The charge was malicious harassment which is a class C felony coupled with a threat or assault.

I dont think Im the only person who thinks guns on a mission are more deadly than eggs and stalking a family into the woods is at least as terrorizing as speaking hate on sidewalks of a town.

Neither Sequim nor Forks incidents involved racial slurs or eggs, but each involved intimidation and provoking if not instilling fear for the safety of people present. All three of these incidents were people taking causes and law into their own hands. I cant account for the egg-thrower, but I can wonder why those so fearful of Antifa did not alert law enforcement.

Do they not trust local law enforcement to defend them? Why do they feel safer with a gun? What were their plans once they had the family trapped? Why were these actions seen as the only alternative? Their fears need to be addressed.

Something needs to be done about balancing the laws related to carrying weapons for safety and carrying weapons (guns or eggs) as a threat or as a defense against a specious threat.

People are trying a variety of methods to calm the tensions and bring interested parties together. Ive read letters to the editors asking for leadership to step in and bring the cause of public safety into consideration. I contacted Police Chief Crain to offer my support and ask questions. Someone else started a GoFundMe account for the family harassed in Forks.

A petition was circulated recently calling for controls on displaying firearms at public gathering and outlawing vigilantism. This followed a petition that was successful in calling upon the Sequim City Council to denounce systemic racism in the community.

I call all these efforts public cries for help, for peace and, perhaps for redemption.

Perhaps, we should start with redemption. Just how does a community of people whove live in wide-open spaces and small towns arrive at such drama during a pandemic yet? We can change the intimidation prospective. We all can stop fighting ghosts.

We can arrive at the place where we all have space, understood boundaries, respectful interdependence, collaboration for the common good and well-knitted community that has parades of small children and old cars on holidays.

The police have long been a reliable source for some. But its time to reexamine that trust – Seattle Times

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

I cant stop thinking about Manuel Ellis.

I keep wondering if it werent for the global uprising for racial justice in the wake of George Floyds killing by Minneapolis police, whether Ellis killing would have passed by mostly unnoticed as so many have before him with just the word of the police satisfying a not particularly curious public.

Its high time for the public and the media to interrogate police statements more aggressively.

Tacoma police killed Ellis on March 3, but it wasnt until early June that his case started to get attention. Initially, as is all too common, early stories reported just the Police Departments narrative. Police said Ellis harassed a driver, struck their police car and slam dunked an officer to the ground. They attributed his actions to excited delirium, a term used by police to justify deadly force but described as pseudoscience by critics.

It wasnt until mid-June that it was revealed that the Pierce County Sheriffs Office investigating the case supposedly to create investigatory independence was at the scene of the killing as well. Video began to emerge that showed officers pummeling Ellis as he gasped, I cant breathe, words now tragically familiar. The medical examiner ruled Ellis death a homicide from oxygen deprivation due to physical restraint.

Now under scrutiny by activists, the general public and the media, the governor directed the State Patrol to investigate the killing. The state attorney general is reviewing Ellis case, as well as 30 other police deadly force incidents.

If we have learned anything from the protest movement of the past two months, we should have at least learned what people of color and other marginalized people have said forever: You cant uncritically trust official accounts when it comes to policing and protests.

Efforts to contest and control the Seattle protest narrative began in late May. As my colleague Danny Westneat wrote in early June, the Seattle police chief and mayors efforts to paint property destruction from the first days of the protests as the work of mostly white, outside agitators was not supported by facts.

Later, in mid-June, during the height of the media frenzy around the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP), an assistant Seattle police chief told the media that protesters were extorting local businesses within the CHOP for money. The claim was repeated by the police chief the next day and then reported by media around the world, including this paper.

The problem was, there turned out to be no police reports alleging extortion.

The source of the claim was a conservative blog citing unnamed police officers. The police walked back the claim, but the damage was done. The extortion claim became a key component in breathless reporting about lawlessness in CHOP by conservative media, resulting in President Trump calling out the governor and the mayor in a tweet to Take back your city NOW. If you dont do it, I will.

The extortion story was one of many police storylines widely reported but unsubstantiated during the weeks of CHOP occupying Capitol Hill. Others included the police chief saying that calls for [police] service have more than tripled, during CHOP, which may have been an accidental misstatement but was nonetheless picked up widely in conservative media. Reporting by The Seattle Times showed that calls near the East Precinct actually dropped 31% in the first two weeks of June.

Seattle police also said in a tweet that improvised explosives were thrown at officers, but their tweeted photo of the device showed a candle.

Misinformation is not new. But the speed, ferocity and impact of misinformation that permeates coverage of the protest movement in Seattle and beyond is remarkable. According to media intelligence firm Zignal Labs, of 873,000 pieces of George Floyd protest-related misinformation tracked, 575,800 were about antifa being responsible for riots and looting. This misinformation led to armed groups descending on cities and towns like Snohomish to protect them from antifa threats that never materialized.

The speed, ferocity and impact of misinformation that permeates coverage of the protest movement is remarkable

Joan Donovan is research director of the Harvard Kennedy Schools Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy. She said the media need to do more to broaden their sources to include community members and not just rely on the official narratives.

I think its really important, Donovan said, not just to print the press release, but to try to substantiate any of the claims of politicians and police and police unions in times of high social unrest, because the struggle over the narrative is a proxy war. Its a proxy war between the protesters and the state.

The media have long been complicit in the police said convention in crime reporting, but that practice is getting an overdue revisiting and reckoning, including in this newsroom. Police should not be exempt from the skepticism and rigor we apply to other sources of information.As I remember being taught as a budding journalist long, long ago, If your mother says she loves you, check it out.

The shift cant come soon enough, as families like Manny Ellis have tried to get people to hear their calls for justice for years, and too few people have listened.

Democrats Demand Trump Reverse Order Directing COVID-19 Data to HHS – EcoWatch

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

Labs across the country are now facing what seems like an almost "infinite" demand, one expert says.

"We really do need to improve our turnaround times, primarily in areas and counties of outbreaks," Adm. Brett Giroir, a White House coronavirus task force member, said, as CNN reported.

Diagnostic labs are feeling the effects of the spike in cases, with a leading commercial lab saying testing results can now take up to two weeks for some patients, leaving doctors and patients feeling anxious about their results.

"The average test delay is too long," Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health, said Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press, as CNN reported "And that really undercuts the value of the testing, because you do the testing to find out who's carrying the virus and then quickly get them isolated so they don't spread it around."

As USA TODAY noted, labs are performing more COVID-19 tests than ever. Lab workers are strained and states are bidding against one another for the same, limited supplies.

"It's the Wild, Wild West," said Blair Holladay, CEO of American Society for Clinical Pathology, to USA TODAY. "There's been no national testing strategy ... so states are duking it out for supply chains. That's a problem."

Last week, labs reached an all-time high of more than 831,900 COVID tests, according to the COVID Tracking Project. Yet, that expansion in tests has created bottlenecks and slowed results for many Americans.

Quest Diagnostics said in a news release that average turnaround time for non-priority patients was seven days or more, according to USA TODAY. However, patients in hospitals, people preparing for acute surgery, and health care workers with symptoms are able to get results within a day.

"We've gone way backwards" in testing, said former New York health commissioner Nirav Shah, as USA TODAY reported. According to Shah, a senior scholar at Stanford University's Center for Clinical Excellence, the delay in results makes many of the tests irrelevant and increases the virus' spread.

Most patient samples must still be routed through laboratories for processing, and the growing demand is once again straining supplies, equipment, and trained technicians, which all causes shortages and delayed results, according to The New York Times.

"It's very important for people to be able to get the results in time, so they don't continue infecting people," said Pamela Martinez, an expert in disease dynamics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, to The New York Times. She noted that it's particularly important for asymptomatic people to know if they are carrying the virus. "Maybe if I take a test, but I don't have many symptoms, I'm not going to take the same precautions," she added.

If people have to wait one week or more for their test results, a negative result can give a false sense of security. Diagnostic testing searches for bits of the coronavirus' genetic material. It can only assess a person's health status from the time the sample was taken, and can't account for any subsequent exposures to the virus, of course, as noted by The New York Times.

Since the delays are widespread and people are reluctant to enter a risky situation unnecessarily, people who are not showing any symptoms of coronavirus are less likely to seek a test, which skews the numbers and gives an inaccurate picture of its spread.

In an ideal world, far more community testing would occur to catch some of these more silent cases. "That would give us more of an idea of how this disease is actually playing out," said Olivia Prosper, an infectious disease modeler at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, to The New York Times.

Apple commits to replacing non-inclusive terms across its developer ecosystem – 9to5Mac

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

Joining a wider industry shift, Apple announced that it is working to replace exclusionary language in its developer documentation and APIs with alternative terminology.

Renaming things takes time and effort as large parts of infrastructure have to migrate in response. For third-party developers in the App Store, Apple will be changing the names of APIs used in their code where appropriate, which will also necessitate engineering work to migrate.

Examples of exclusionary terminology include using a noun like master to describe the primary code repository. Apples source control features in Xcode, starting with Xcode 12, now names the default branch main by default. Github and other companies announced similar policy changes earlier this year.

Similarly, Apple is replacing the usage of whitelist and blacklist in its documentation with allow list and deny list, to eradicate possible discriminatory connotations. These phrases have long-established technical definitions, but changing to alternative words removes any possibility of confusion or misinterpretation.

As a company, Apple is auditing its frameworks for similar language that warrants adjusting. Developers can expect to see the introduction of renamed APIs in future versions of iOS 14, macOS Big Sur, and the like.

How Coronavirus Pandemic Will Impact The 5G Wireless Ecosystem Market Size, Growth Opportunitis, Current trends, Forecast By 2030 – 3rd Watch News

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

Despite the lack of sufficient LTE coverage in parts of the world, mobile operators and vendors have already embarked on R&D initiatives to develop 5G, the next evolution in mobile networks. 5G is expected to provide a single network environment to deliver not only existing mobile broadband and IoT services, but also new innovations such as self-driving cars, cloud robotics, 3D holographic telepresence and remote surgery with haptic feedback.

In fact, many mobile operators are betting on 5G to diversify their revenue streams, as conventional voice and data service ARPUs decline globally. For example, South Koreas KT has established a dedicated business unit for holograms, which it envisions to be a key source of revenue for its future 5G network.

At present, the 3GPP and other SDOs (Standards Development Organizations) are engaged in defining the first phase of 5G specifications. However, pre-standards 5G network rollouts are already underway, most notably in the United States and South Korea, as mobile operators rush to be the first to offer 5G services. SNS Research estimates that by the end of 2017, pre-standards 5G network investments are expected to account for over $250 Million.

Although 2020 has conventionally been regarded as the headline date for 5G commercialization, the very first standardized deployments of the technology are expected to be commercialized as early as 2019 with the 3GPPs initial 5G specifications set to be implementation-ready by March 2018. Between 2019 and 2025, we expect the 5G network infrastructure market to aggressively grow a CAGR of nearly 70%, eventually accounting for $28 Billion in annual spending by the end of 2025. These infrastructure investments will be complemented by annual shipments of up to 520 Million 5G-capable devices.

SIA Publishes Annual List of Diversity-Owned Staffing Firms – Staffing Industry Analysts

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

Mountain View, California July 21, 2020 Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), the global advisor on staffing and workforce solutions, has released its 2020 list of US & Canada Diversity Staffing Firms, publishing the list online and featuring the firms in the July/August issue of Staffing Industry Review magazine.

This years list comprises 147 firms that self-identify as being under diversity ownership. Among firms on the list, 91 reported they were women-owned and 74 cited diversity ownership such as African American, Hispanic American, Asian American or LGBTQ, with 5 firms citing veteran ownership. Firms on the list could have multiple types of ownership, for example a firm could be both women-owned and African American-owned. Firms on the list range from smaller, niche organizations to global organizations and solutions providers; and encompass the full spectrum of staffing segments, including IT, healthcare, industrial and office/clerical. Firms, in general, reported their largest segments; and firms could report services in more than one segment.

SIAs diversity-supplier list dates back over a decade, with a focus on heightening visibility for the list and for the ongoing conversation around diversity and inclusion in more recent years, said Subadhra Sriram, Editor & Publisher, Media Products, at SIA. But diversity and inclusion cannot remain just a conversation. The workforce solutions ecosystem must continue to address the racism and cultural bias that impacts the hiring process and the talent industry-wide. It is our hope that this list helps companies to support diversity and inclusion in business ownership and keeps a spotlight on the changes that are needed to advance more diverse and inclusive communities.

In a 2019 SIA survey, 60% of large companies that use staffing firms said they had a program for diversity suppliers in place, and 29% said they planned to explore putting one in place over the next two years. The 2020 list of US & Canada Diversity-Owned Staffing Firms provides a useful reference for companies with contingent workforce programs looking to use diversity-owned staffing suppliers and for staffing firms seeking diversity-owned subcontractors.

142 years of strong connections: How Eastern is changing the Philippines’ telecom ecosystem – Telecoms Tech

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

Sponsored The telecoms ecosystem in the Philippines is a fascinating one, as the Southeast Asia country looks to capitalise on burgeoning digital infrastructure.

According to a report from BuddeCommearlier this month, the coming years will see most telecom investment in the Philippines focused on supporting fibre infrastructure in urban areas.The report also states that a continuing interest in new data centre builds is expected as well as augmenting existing capacity.

The country is one of the emerging tech nations in Asia as the government invests in widening the reach ofICT in the Philippineswith a sum of $105m budget for 2020. Of the amount, $22m is being used to install free Wi-Fi in public places, $5.6m is allotted for Wi-Fi facilities in state universities and colleges, while $3.9m is forthe National Broadband Plan.

One of the Philippine telco providers isEastern Communications. The company has been in business for 142 years as one of the premier telecommunications companies in the Philippines, commissioned by the Spanish government to provide the countrys first telegraphic services.

Being in the industry for more than a century is a milestone for us, said Eastern Communications co-ordinator atty. Aileen Regio. We witnessed the transformation of communication services and we took it as a challenge to adapt to the technological revolution and provide better solutions to businesses.

Today, Eastern takes pride in being the first Philippine telecommunications company to receive the ISO 9001:2015 certification, showing its adherence to high quality standards and superior processes. The company has for years been the preferred solutions provider of various industries in the Philippines, such as ICT and software development, retail, hospitality, manufacturing, banking and finance, as well as government institutions.

Alongside high-speed global data services and cybersecurity offerings, Eastern looks to secure data centre and cloud services as a differentiator. This can certainly be seen as an area for success, with a continuing interest in new data centre builds observed as a general trend in the BuddeComm report.

Looking at the most recent analysis from the Asia Cloud Computing Association (ACCA)in May, the Philippines ranked 11th out of 14 APAC nations analysed, down two places from 2018. The report lauded the countrys strong support for the use of cloud through the governments cloud-first policy, first launched in January 2017, but reasoned that the Philippines must craft clear and practical guidelines to guide agencies in adopting cloud computing, as well as improve connectivity nationwide.

For Eastern Communications, the company believes that in a highly digital world, strong and reliable connectivity and ICT solutions bring innumerable advantages and for the coming years when digital transformation has already become an integral part of our daily lives, the company is looking forward to providing strong connections to more businesses outside their borders.

Weve seen that businesses require more than just connectivity to thrive in the digital age and this is what pushed us to evolve into afull-service provider of world-class telecommunications services, said Hermi Hizon, Eastern Communications co-coordinator. With our network composed of reputable international partners, our clients are assured of achieving efficient and secure operations with our quality services.

The rise of incubation advisories and their impact on the early-stage startup ecosystem – YourStory

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

Until a few years ago, unless you were a part of the startup ecosystem, chances are you didnt know what an incubator was. Then came the extremely popular HBO dramedy Silicon Valley. As Erlich Bachman incubated Richard Hendricks Pied Piper to a multi-million dollar valuation, startup incubation became a globally recognised phenomenon.

Today, incubators are a crucial piece in the startup growth puzzle. The number of incubators is considered as a good indicator of how mature a startup ecosystem is.

India, having the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world, has over 500 startup incubators. Even though the country lags behind China (2,400+ incubators) and the US (1,500+ incubators), the vibrant ecosystem of startups has paved the way for the third-largest incubation advisory industry globally, which is gradually gaining popularity.

Incubators, as the name suggests, incubate disruptive ideas with a hope of creating a business model and a company, starting often with even single entrepreneurs. The duration of an incubation programme or advisory is often long one to five years in many cases.

The outcome being chased is an innovation, one that survives and sustains much after the incubation period.

As a startup, you can approach an incubator with just an idea. Incubators help you refine that idea and build an MVP (Minimum Viable Product). An incubator is probably the only institution in the startup ecosystem that comes in at the Pre-Seed or idea stage.

The above is very different from the role and goals of a startup accelerator, which is a more well-known entity due to names such as Y-Combinator, Techstars, etc.

A typical accelerator helps in doing 18-24 months of business building in just a few months, with a clear goal to make the venture VC-funding ready.

There are other entities that are active in the early-stage ecosystem as well. For example, a startup studio helps at both ends of the spectrum (concept to product-market fit) since it also has in-house experts who can help build and market the product.

Angel investors and Pre-Seed/Seed funds often double up as advisors and mentors to the founders during the incubation phase.

Incubators and incubation advisors are experiencing growth in both demand and supply.

Lets look at supply first. Whether its the more established institutional incubators like NASSCOMs 10000 Startups, CIIE IIM-A, and SINE IIT Bombay or growth in the supply of Incubation Advisors (Flexingit has seen an 84 percent growth in consultant registrations during March and April, 2020), incubators are finally coming into their own in India.

Further, exits over the last three-four years, have freed up capital and mentoring capacity. Then, there has also been a rise of corporates and family offices in the startup investment and incubation ecosystem.

On the demand side, other than the lure of the unicorn status, few drivers are at play behind the startups that join an incubator or an incubation programme. These include:

From early days, when the business model of incubators was rent and sales of shared services such as accounting, legal, etc., the rise over the last few years has thus been driven by more value-added offerings on one side and intensity of competition among startups on the other.

Antler, a global early-stage VC, which works more like a structured incubator, recently entered in India with Rajiv Srivatsa, Co-founder of Urban Ladder, at its helm.

In the words of Maria Wlosinska, Co-founder of Unlock, one of Antlers portfolio startups, Antler puts the whole infrastructure in place. Whether its capital, co-founders or mentors. It really helps you to de-risk. That, in a nutshell, could be the value an incubator brings to the table.

Here are a few ways in which, we think, incubators bring value to startups in their portfolio;

This is a hidden factor for success. According to Bill Gross, who started Idealabs more than 20 years ago, the biggest difference between startup success and failure is accounted for, by Timing. An incubator can help in assessing if the timing is right for an idea.

A good incubator goes further. It helps in building and strengthening the mental stamina (and toughness) required to persevere when the timing seems round the corner, but not yet there. This hidden success factor is also essential in preventing founder burnout, which unfortunately is growing rapidly in the community.

Many of us might have heard the phrase Its not what you know, its who you know. Most founders work very hard in building knowledge, but not as hard in building and maintaining Social Capital.

Mark Granovetter, best known for his work on The Strength of Weak ties, has proven that weak connections play a very important role in an individuals accomplishments (e.g. 80 percent of time, people find jobs - and founders their founding teams - through weak connections).

Incubators usually provide the infrastructure shared office spaces, where social capital (professional networks) can be built. Good incubators go beyond that. They impart the knowhow in building and strengthening social capital often an underrated asset, and hence another hidden factor of success!

There are only two kinds of relevant mentors those with startup experience and those with industry experience. Many reputed incubators bring both to the table.

Like Paul Buchheit, the creator of GMail; Brian Chesky, Founder of AirBnB, are mentors at Y Combinator, most good incubators have mentors with a prior startup or deep-industry experience.

Domain specific expertise, some sort of financing or access to third party financing, shared services such as HR, accounting, legal, marketing execution, etc., are some of the other benefits that incubators provide.

The pandemic of COVID-19 is undoubtedly a tragedy of massive proportions, taking a huge toll on human lives and many livelihoods. However, like tragedies and recessions in the past, its also a breeding ground for new problems that require innovation.

Marc Andreessen recently attributed our current state to the inability to build enough. This is a big call to action for startups to innovate and incubators to help them build what can sustain.

It is not easy though. Funding has become tougher, work from home is not easy for all types of problem-areas and the pandemic along with social isolation, has taken a huge toll on the mental health of people.

In these tough times, incubators and incubation advisors are seen to be adopting a different approach to add value to startups. At PurpleCrest, for instance, we were able to help increase the runway of a B2B venture by 12 months, through over 40 percent reduction in operating costs when the pandemic started. We call this the Resilient Growth approach; growing by using a disruption-proof method.

The approach integrates a resilient mindset, network/collaboration-powered business model, faster product iteration cycles, and multiple distribution channels, in the process of incubation.

The 'Resilient Growth' approach is one of the many approaches that are likely to emerge in a post-COVID incubation advisory world.

As the startup ecosystem matures in India, incubators and incubation advisory will more firmly establish its place like elsewhere.

In a world where uncertainty is becoming a norm and recessions are occurring more frequently, startups are likely to find much-needed support from these patient advisors.

These advisors and institutions see much less financial success than other entities in the value chain but likely derive much more satisfaction from their contribution. And that could also explain the silence behind the blossoming.

Are We Mainstreaming or Simply Trivialising Biodiversity? – The Citizen

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Danzig

Does the global focus on climate change also take biodiversity out of the equation?

Last summer, a hard hitting global assessment of the status of biodiversity and ecosystem services made headlines for its sobering statistics. According to the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), more than one million animal and plant species were being threatened with extinction at levels completely unprecedented in human history.

Not surprisingly humans were the culprit- with changes in land and sea use and direct exploitation of organisms at the forefront, followed by climate change, pollution and invasive species. But for those of us battling to underline the importance of biodiversity to every facet of human life-food security, nutrition, resilient ecosystems, climate proofing of livelihoods and human wellbeing, we knew the global outrage would soon mute to a whimper.

After all, few people seem to understand what biodiversity is, why species potentially matter or its salience in the face of more important development and economic exigencies or even the climate crisis. This despite a global attempt to mainstream biodiversity. The Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as its first strategic goal aims at mainstreaming biodiversity across government and society.

But over the last decade has biodiversity beenmainstreamed or just sidelined and trivialised, both in common perception, in our policies and on the ground?

The first issue is conceptual and perceptual. Despite attempts in the last few decades to relate biodiversity to the provision of ecosystem services upon which all life depends, and to value nature in monetary terms, the ambiguity and palpable lack of urgency relating to biodiversity continues.

Perhaps this is best described by Peter Raven, a well-known scientist, according to whom, Biodiversity always seems to be a sort of mysterious background thing that isnt quite there. Even today, for many people, biodiversity translates simply as wildlife and conjures up pretty pictures of charismatic tigers and leopards. At the most the role of the tiger is recognised as an apex predator that helps protect swathes of forest given its large home range and need to disperse in search of territories.

With this reductionist view of biodiversity, the loss of a species is considered regrettable, but not necessarily irreplaceable, especially if it is a tiny insect. To put it in perspective, a senior member of a respected environmental institution recently said to me, if oil reserves found under a protected area were to be weighed against tigers, then quite naturally the scales would tip in favour of the oil.

Biodiversity, somehow is a soft issue, dispensable when it comes to more weighty matters of monetising our natural capital. Its loss is nothing that technical solutions, renewable energy, energy efficiency and a circular economy cannot fix.

But biodiversity is not merely wildlife, it is the ecosystem and genetic diversity that sustains them, and us. The CBD defines biological diversity as, the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems.

Ecosystems such as forests (and all others), are not loose aggregations of independent species but intricate, living, interconnected evolutionary webs where the loss of habitat or decline of any species can potentially trigger cascades of extinction and change.

This can impact the demography and survival of the very trees that comprise a forest, ultimately impacting water flows, carbon sequestration and myriad other services. Enhancing this susceptibility to decline, are interacting forces such as habitat loss, fragmentation, hunting and climate change. Hence, forests and wildlife (and the same applies to all ecosystems) need to viewed as interacting parts of a whole, necessary for each others continued existence and of course for ours.

Does the current global focus on climate change also largely take biodiversity out of the equation? The emphasis is on reducing greenhouse gases and on enhancing carbon sequestration rather than on biodiversity. This shrinks the global finance pie available for biodiversity.

Moreover, rather than natural forests, plantations which play an important role in sequestering carbon become the preeminent strategy as plantation-driven Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in the forestry sector amply illustrate. But plantations support less biodiversity, provide fewer ecosystem services, often focus on fast growing, exotic species, and of course cannot replace a biodiverse natural forest.

The recent emphasis on REDD plus, reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, was a welcome break as it focused on reducing both deforestation and degradation and also brought back biodiversity conservation and livelihood benefits to the climate equation. However, REDD plus is a largely untested mechanism for forest conservation, adoption rates have been low for various reasons, and the initial results accruing from across the globe are not very positive.

Indias Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030. Much of this additional tree cover will include planting along highways, railway lines and wastelands. The emphasis on meeting targets through plantations has shifted the focus away from our natural forests, and the biodiversity they harbour. Moreover, if past experience is anything to go by, many designated wastelands diverted to plantation might be important ecosystems in their own right, such as grassland.

In India, forest cover has stabilised although forest degradation continues apace. However, due to the lack of disaggregated information, the status of natural forests remains largely unknown, and it is possible that this stabilisation results from plantations. Several recent measures to enhance forest cover in the country either ignore the role of biodiversity or are operationalized in ways that maintain the conventional afforestation approach, rather than an active restoration one.

The Green India Mission, for example, is biodiversity-friendly and aims to improve the quality of cover of 5 M ha of forest in ways that go beyond plantations. Furthermore it incorporates other ecosystems such as grasslands and wetlands within its ambit. Yet to date, this by now almost moribund mission has followed only conventional afforestation practices.

The Compensatory Afforestation Fund Act, 2016 mandates the use of money received from diversion of forest land towards net present value (NPV) and penal NPV for forest and wildlife protection and management, apart from plantations. Nevertheless, we have lost an opportunity to ensure that some of the funds are dedicated to enhancing the ecological viability of protected areas, many of which function as isolated ecological units in a matrix of other land uses.

This Act could have spelled out that some of these funds be utilised for the regeneration of corridors and other areas with local community support as well as adjoining vulnerable habitats. In August, 2019, more than 47,000 crores of this money was released to the States primarily to achieve the forestry NDC objectives. Consequently, much of these CAMPA funds will again be spent on plantations whose survival in India is abysmal. And biodiversity will continue to decline.

But what of our protected areas (PAs), the last vestiges of wilderness actively dedicated to protecting biodiversity? Ironically, even as the COVID pandemic underlines the interdependence of human lives and biodiversity, and widespread lockdowns have brought the country to a standstill, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has provided a slew of clearances for infrastructure, mining and industrial projects.

These are in some of our last remaining natural forest strongholds, including Indias forested north-east allowing activities ranging from dam construction in the Dibang Wildlife Sanctuary, to oil exploration in Dibru-Saikhowa National Park (where a recent oil well blow out adversely impacted the famed Maguri Motapung beel), to coal mining in Dehing Patakai Elephant reserve. Rather than safeguarding the environment, the mission of the environment ministry now appears to be the promotion of, seamless economic growth.

And while the existing PAs are being whittled down, we are simultaneously identifying other effective area-based conservation measures or OECMs, which are non-Protected Areas that are, governed and managed in ways that achieve positive and sustained long-term outcomes for the in situ conservation of biodiversity...

These could for example encompass community-conserved areas, Important Bird Areas or Reserve Forests which deliver effective conservation outcomes irrespective of the management objective. All this to ensure that in 2020 India meets its national biodiversity target 6 of covering 20% of its geographic area with ecologically representative areas that include both PAs and OECMs.

But if biodiversity is being ignored and trivialised in our already fraught, underfunded and highly fragmented protected areas covering a mere 5% of Indias land cover, do we seriously believe new categories of designations will protect our biodiversity lying outside them? And this is unfortunate, because in reality much of Indias biodiversity lies outside the PA network-for example more than 80% of elephant habitat lies outside PAs.

With negligible management focus on the forest biodiversity of protected and reserve forests, biodiversity is eroded, and human-wildlife conflicts continue to escalate.

Perhaps the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 will help alter popular perceptions of humanity being immune to, and cocooned from biodiversity loss and ecosystem destruction. It is precisely the destruction of undervalued wild habitats, and the exploitation of wildlife through trafficking and the wild meat trade, that has brought human beings in close proximity with zoonotic viruses; so much so that 75% of all emerging diseases are zoonotic in origin. With COVID we are paying an exorbitant price for neglecting nature and sidelining biodiversity.

Yet this pandemic also provides us with an opportunity to review our relationship with nature and biodiversity, and to course correct to safeguard our planet as well as human well-being and our economies. It is time to get creative with biodiversity, to adopt a landscape approach to conservation, and to start adopting nature and ecosystem-based solutions to climate change. We need to recognise that protecting biodiversity is very much part of the climate solution, as important as technological quick fixes.

The time has come to leverage current realities to ensure that biodiversity is brought centrestage in our understanding, but also in our policies and laws. This is especially true for India where millions of people are ecosystem dependent. However, if recent trends of widespread forest and wildlife clearances or the contentious Draft EIA notification of 2020 are any yardstick, then all indications in India suggest that biodiversity is unlikely to be mainstreamed, at least in the near term.
