Police state government to start surveilling your poop in real time for illicit drug use… RFID tag readers in toilets will upload urine composition to the feds

(NaturalNews) The runaway surveillance state in America has just taken a leap into the gutter. Or the sewer, actually, where government goons running their fraudulent "war on drugs" have begun to monitor raw sewage for traces of illicit drug use.

The American Chemical Society reports this as GOOD news, saying:

The war on drugs could get a boost with a new method that analyzes sewage to track levels of illicit drug use in local communities in real time. The new study, a first-of-its-kind in the U.S., was published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology and could help law enforcement identify new drug hot spots and monitor whether anti-drug measures are working.

Sure. Because at a time when there's a race war in America, the nation is headed for financial chaos, North Korea is threatening to nuke Washington D.C. and the world's most evil Monsanto operative -- Hillary Clinton -- is threatening to occupy the White House, what America really needs right now is police slogging through s%#t to "crack down" on recreational drug users, half of whom probably work for the government in the first place.

As part of this so-called "sewage epidemiology" pilot program, scientists reportedly monitored sewage in Albany, New York. "[T]he scientists found cocaine in 93 percent of all untreated samples," reports the ACS, seemingly astonished at this high number.

Fortunately, free thinkers immediately realized the truth behind all this:

"The thought of authorities slogging through the sludge may be comical, but it represents another example of big brother using our money to monitor our behavior," writes Justin Gardner at the Free Thought Project. "Drug consumption is a non-violent act upon oneself. The drug trade is made violent in a black market under government prohibition."

Gardner goes on to describe the real reason behind the failed war on drugs:

What is the rationale behind attempts at drug eradication and criminalization? It provides a means for government to assert power; it enriches the prison industry and the jackboot industry and politicians. Take these away and there is no logic to the war on drugs.

If you drink city water, you are now a drug user

Even more comically, the research conducted so far has found that illicit drugs are recycled back into drinking water, then consumed by everyone else in the same city.

As the ACS reports: "They found that the wastewater treatment plants didn't remove all illicit drugs before releasing water back into the environment -- and eventually into drinking water."

Anyone drinking tap water is, therefore, consuming class-A felony controlled substances which can then be detected in their bodies in parts per billion concentrations. This is how the police state can arrest and imprison absolutely anyone by claiming they're a drug user since there's cocaine in their blood and it's all over their twenty dollar bills, too!

There probably isn't a single person living in America today who doesn't have traces of cocaine on their person or in their blood. Notably, federal laws on cocaine possession make no exceptions for "inadvertent possession" or possession of trace amounts. Even one molecule of cocaine qualifies you to be charged with felony possession.

Coming soon: A government monitor on every RFID-equipped toilet

Big Government control freaks are fanatics about total surveillance of all "subjects" who must kow-tow to the whims of the police state. While Washington D.C. is full of high-level government operatives with their noses buried in coke, you almost never see government monitoring its own employees for illicit drug use.

Nope, government selectively presumes the criminality of the civilian masses and then deploys all varieties of surveillance tools to ensnare those people for engaging in the very same behaviors Presidents and their minions routinely pull off in the White House.

If this rise of police state surveillance continues, it won't be long before there's a microchip on every toilet that encodes your social security number with your stool chemical analysis and reports it back to the government in real time. The toilet will read the RFID that's embedded in your skin, as required by federal mandatory vaccine laws, of course. The only way to block the RFID and "pee in peace" will be to wrap the part of your body containing the RFID with a metal foil. Hilariously, this might mean that wearing a tin foil hat -- the default derogatory description of conspiracy theorists -- would physically protect your identity while sitting on the throne and taking a Schumer.

Every flush is a drug test; every toilet is your narc

It's not just illicit drugs they might find in your sewage, either. Government-installed sensors can also check your stools for horrible, dangerous things the government doesn't want you to consume such as vitamin C, colloidal silver or medicinal herbs. Should you dare to consumer any of these "unapproved" substances, your toilet will tattle on you to the feds, and they'll bring a squad of armed goons to your doorstep to throw flashbang grenades at your infants and have your children kidnapped by CPS.

Simultaneously, your compliance with state-ordered medications will also be monitored, and if you miss a day or two of your state-mandated prescription drugs, you'll be forcefully diagnosed with Obedience Defiance Disorder which gives the government the authority to lock you up in a mental institution and medicate you against your will. After all, if you don't take all the drugs you've been prescribed, how is Big Pharma supposed to stay in business and boost the national GDP?

Before long, our Brave New World will feature every obedient citizen microchipped with an RFID tag that's read in real time by the government-issued toilet they're using, which is of course limited to a total water volume of 2 oz. -- the new "California drought standard" -- requiring twenty-five rapid flushes to get anything to go down. While you're trying to flush your stools with these California-class "micro flushes," the toilet, equipped with government sensors, will be testing the chemical composition of everything and uploading the substance test results to the department of Health and Human Surveillance (HHS) to be recorded alongside your identity chip tracking number. The government, in essence, will "log your logs" because that's precisely the kind of activity Big Government does best: meddling in everybody's s##t!

Suddenly all the obedient sheeple who put up with NSA surveillance of their phone calls and emails because they "have nothing to hide" will discover they really do have something to hide after all: chronic illicit drug use and medication abuse that the government can now track in real time and trace back to YOU.

Which brings up the all-important question of the day: Why do bears really s##t in the woods? Maybe because the government isn't spying on them there.

“Altered Genes, Twisted Truths” : A Challenge to Monsanto

Attorney Steven Druker's New Book


monsantobook
In a challenge delivered to Monsanto’s headquarters on May 20, 2015, US public interest attorney Steven Druker calls on that corporation to find any inaccurate statements of fact in his new book: 
Altered Genes, Twisted Truth – How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public.
The thoroughly documented and referenced book exposes the substantial risks of genetically engineered foods and the multiple misrepresentations that have enabled them to permeate world markets.
Druker asserts that if Monsanto cannot prove that his book is essentially erroneous, the world will have a right to regard these controversial foods as unacceptably risky – and to promptly ban them.
‘Altered Genes, Twisted Truth’ was released in March 2015 and is the result of more than 15 years of intensive research and investigation by Druker, who initiated a lawsuit against the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that forced it to divulge its files on GM foods.
The book indicates that the commercialisation of GM food in the US was based on a massive fraud. The FDA files revealed that GM foods first achieved commercialisation in 1992 but only because the FDA covered up the extensive warnings of its own scientists about their dangers, lied about the facts and then violated federal food safety law by permitting these foods to be marketed without having been proven safe through standard testing.
If the FDA had heeded its own experts’ advice and publicly acknowledged their warnings that GM foods entailed higher risks than their conventional counterparts, Druker says that the GM food venture would have imploded and never gained traction anywhere.
He also argues that that many well-placed scientists have repeatedly issued misleading statements about GM foods, and so have leading scientific institutions such as the US National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the UK’s Royal Society.
Druker states that contrary to the claims of biotech advocates, humans have indeed been harmed by consuming the output of genetic engineering. He also explains that laboratory animals have also suffered from eating products of genetic engineering, and well-conducted tests with GM crops have yielded many troubling results, including intestinal abnormalities, liver disturbances, and impaired immune systems.
Druker says:
“Contrary to the assertions of its proponents, the massive enterprise to reconfigure the genetic core of the world’s food supply is not based on sound science but on the systematic subversion of science – and it would collapse if subjected to an open airing of the facts.”
Now, in his open letter dated 19 May, Druker challenges Monsanto’s Chief Technology Officer to:
“Face Up to the Extensive Evidence Demonstrating that Genetically Engineered Foods Entail Unacceptable Risks and Should Be Promptly Removed from the Market.”
Druker finishes his letter by saying:
If by July 20th you and your allies have not been able to refute the essential factual accuracy of Altered Genes, Twisted Truth according to the terms set forth above, the world will have a right to assume that it is as sound as the experts who reviewed it have affirmed – and to conclude that GE foods are unacceptably risky and must be banned.

Google patents creepy internet 'toys' that could control your home, listen in on conversations and spy on children

Posted by George Freund on May 22, 2015


Google has published a patent that suggests creepy-looking teddy bears and rabbits (pictured) could interact with homeowners to switch lights on and off and turn on appliances with a simple vocal command

Patent suggests Teddy and rabbit-shaped machines would constantly listen for commands, and turn their heads and talk in response
Toys containing microphones and cameras could record conversations
Would be able to control appliances like TVs, music systems and lights
Devices may never go to market but privacy campaigners are concerned

Buzz Lightyear and Woody may have been able to switch lights on and off and drive remote controlled cars, but toys of the future could take control of all sorts of household appliances and even spy on their owners too.

Google has published a patent that suggests creepy-looking teddy bears and rabbits could one day keep a watchful eye on children and adults, eavesdropping on everything we say.

The internet-connected devices would listen for instructions and interact with homeowners to switch lights on and off or turn on household appliances upon a simple vocal command, for example.




The internet-connected toys would be able to listen in on family conversations and respond by turning their heads, talking and changing their facial expressions, much like the intelligent 'super toy' teddy bear (pictured) in Stephen Spielberg's science fiction film, AI

The toys, dreamed up by Google's secretive R&D division, have captured the attention of privacy campaigners, because they contain microphones, speakers and cameras.

The toys also feature motors to change their facial expressions and have the ability to connect to the internet.

Google's patent suggests the 'toy' would listen for a trigger word and upon hearing it, would turn to face the speaker.

Using cameras, it would check the person is making eye contact with the toy, the BBC reports.

It would then speak back or adopt a new facial expression to show surprise, for example, before carrying out useful actions such as switching on a washing machine, for example.

Such human-like toys have featured in horror and science fiction films such as Stephen Spielberg's film, AI.

The patent says: 'To express interest, an anthropomorphic device may open its eyes, lift its head and/or focus its gaze on the user.'

The drawing in the patent shows the machine taking the form of a teddy bear or robot, but dragons or aliens could be a possibility.



The toys would connect to the internet and carry out commands issued by their owners such as switching a TV on or off (illustrated). They could also store conversations and would be permanently listening for instructions



The patent suggests the 'toy' would listen for a trigger word and when it hears it, turn to face the speaker, using cameras to check they are making eye contact. This would mean the toy could essentially come 'alive' on demand and autonomously change its facial expression, much like the toys in Disney's Toy Story (pictured)

It suggests that by looking cute, 'young children might find these forms to be attractive' and adults would interact with them more naturally than a traditional computer interface.

Homes could use one or have a number of 'toys' to spread around the home to assist different members of the family.

But Emma Carr, director of Big Brother Watch, said devices that record conversations and log activity come with privacy concerns.

'When those devices are aimed specifically at children, then for many this will step over the creepy line.

'Children should be able to play in private and shouldn't have to fear this sort of passive invasion of their privacy. It is simply unnecessary.'



There is no guarantee that Google's idea will ever make it into production – like the ideas published in many patents – and it's not the only company to work on connected toys. This is Qualcomm's conceptual smart bear, which could say good morning and goodnight to children



Qualcomm has already floated the idea of a smart teddybear in its 'house of the future' (features illustrated) at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona

There is no guarantee that Google's idea will ever make it into production – like the ideas published in many patents – and it is not the only company to work on internet connected toys.

Qualcomm has already floated the idea of a smart teddy bear in its 'house of the future' at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

A concept bear was demonstrated in a child's bedroom that is able to say good morning or goodnight to a child, while lights turn on or off.

While teddy used in the home was a concept device, yet similar smart teddies are already on sale, such as Teddy the Guardian from London-based IDX Labs.

Mattel has debuted Hello Barbie – a doll that taps into a Wi-Fi connection to chat with young girls, and record conversations.

PRIVACY CAMPAIGNERS CALL FOR MATTEL TO SCRAP WI-FI DOLL
A group of privacy advocates are attempting to halt the release of a new Wi-Fi-enabled Barbie doll, which records conversations with children.

Mattel, the toy company behind the iconic children's doll, announced the launch of the new Hello Barbie, which will be able to hold two-way conversations, play games and tell jokes, earlier this year.

However the concept quickly came under fire from critics who claim the doll's ability to record potentially-sensitive information could be incredibly damaging for children.

'Imagine your children playing with a Wi-Fi-connected doll that records their conversations - and then transmits them to a corporation which analyzes every word to learn 'all of [the child's] likes and dislikes',' the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood (CCFC) wrote on its website.

That's exactly what Mattel's eavesdropping Hello Barbie will do if it is released this fall, as planned. But we can stop it!'

It added: 'When Mattel releases the toy in late fall, things will get seriously creepy.'


According to Mattel, the soon-to-be-released doll, which was created in collaboration with US-based start-up Toy Talk, will not only be able to talk to children, but also take on board and understand what they say, enabling it to interact with the child on a personal level.


For example, if a child mentions a particular hobby or interest, the Hello Barbie can store this information and bring it up again during future conversations.


The doll, which will retail for $74.99 when it eventually hits shelves, will however need to be connected to WiFi in order for these features to work.


And at the time of its launch back in February, its creators insisted that every effort had been made to ensure that the information captured by the doll would remain totally safe.


'Barbie is online and talks directly to the ToyTalk servers,' Martin Reddy, co-founder and chief technical officer at ToyTalk, added to ABC News during a demonstration of the doll's abilities.


'Our artificial intelligence engine is running with the content of what Barbie can say. That AI engine's job is to decide what is best to say back. All of the logic, behavior, content is on the servers.'


Mr Reddy added that the company has taken steps to ensure that all of the information stored on the servers remains completely private - insisting that the brand is well aware that some parents might be concerned about the idea of their children playing with an internet-connected toy.


'It is a very legitimate concern and one we are very concerned about as well,' he said, before explaining that ToyTalk has 'several apps in market' to safeguard against any online dangers - as well as having settings in place that will enable a parent to watch over all of the information which is stored by the company's servers.

Monsanto And Syngenta About To Receive Dozens Of Patents On Unpatentable Plants

from the literally-above-the-law dept

Last month we wrote about the strange case of unpatentable plants becoming patentable in Europe thanks to a decision from the European Patent Office's Enlarged Board of Appeal. That cleared the way for companies to obtain such patents, and according to this post on the "no patents on seeds" site -- I think you can probably work out where its biases lie -- that's about to happen:
the European Patent Office (EPO) is about to grant 30 patents on plants derived from conventional breeding to Monsanto and its affiliated companies. The Swiss company Syngenta can expect to receive around a dozen patents very soon. Many of the patents claim vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, cauliflower, carrots and lettuce.
Leaving aside the important question of whether it should be possible to obtain patents on plants, there are some other issues. For example, Monsanto is currently trying to acquire Syngenta. Although its initial offer of $45 billion was turned down, the view seems to be that Monsanto will go higher because it needs Syngenta's broad portfolio of products to address the growing concerns over glyphosate, which lies at the heart of much of its range. According to a recent report, Monsanto is willing to divest itself of all of Syngenta's "seeds and genetic traits businesses as well as some overlapping chemistry assets to win regulatory approval", but it's not clear whether that would include patents on plants. If it didn't, all of the imminent plant patents mentioned above might end up with Monsanto, which would represent a dangerous concentration of power in this important new area. The more serious problem concerns the EPO. The decision to extend patentability to plants was taken by the EPO's Enlarged Board of Appeal, which should raise conflict of interest concerns, since the EPO is funded by patent fees. That wouldn't be a serious problem if there were a higher court to which appeals could be made. But as the EPO told Intellectual Property Watch:
Decisions made by the Enlarged Board of Appeal cannot be challenged before another judiciary.
One body that does have the power to revise EPO decisions is the Administrative Council of the EPO, but it is made up largely of senior patent officials from the 40 or so member states of the EPO, and so it is naturally pro-patent and thus unlikely to interfere with extensions to patentability. In fact, there is no democratically-elected body at all that could force the EPO to change its policy on anything. Worse, the EPO is literally above national laws, since its offices enjoy diplomatic immunity of the kind given to embassies. As Wikipedia explains it:
The premises of the European Patent Office enjoy a form of extraterritoriality. In accordance with the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities, which forms an integral part of the European Patent Convention under Article 164(1) EPC, the premises of the European Patent Organisation, and therefore those of the European Patent Office, are inviolable. The authorities of the States in which the Organisation has its premises are not authorized to enter those premises, except with the consent of the President of the European Patent Office.
While that's the case -- and there's very little prospect of it changing in the short-term -- extensions of patentability to non-patentable matter are not just likely to happen, but will be well-nigh impossible to reverse.
