Australian Liberal Party declares new powers to detain and quarantine people due to coronavirus; thispower grab is based on laws that were prepared several years before. Citizens express concern about this due to existing powers Australian police have to strip search people - including minors -- without a warrant or probably cause. This latest adds to @DailyClout's view that Australia is a "petri dish" for creating fascism in a developed-world country. The NY Times reports that Erik Prince, former CEO of Blackwater, has sent ex-spies to infiltrate progressive groups. Very scary because CIA and FBI have restrictions and Congressional oversight that these private contractors do not have. On a happier note, Virginia passes a $50 cap on insulin. Other states may follow suit if you support such a bill. Ideal for asthma medications as well. Boondoggle in Congress-- HR4508 gives HALF of ALL USAID scholarships to "Pakistani women." As much as @DailyClout supports Pakistani women students, this misuse of taxpayer dollars in a non-proportionate way demands scrutiny as it smacks of corruption. Who is actually getting those funds? $8.3 BILLION gets handed in US Congress out to respond to coronavirus -- with help for "small business" (which often means bigger business) folded in there as padding. HR5003 is an awesome bill that makes it illegal to lie to vets about debt collection. This should be expanded to include everyone. New York declares a state of emergency -- Hachette cancels Woody Allen's autobiography after 75 workers walk out in protest -- and koalas are endangered by military housing proposals on Mt Lofty in Australia. And we talk about how to fight back in the coronavirus epidemic is used to further erose civil liberties. Surprising chat about the Second Amendment.
