Trump Is Opposed To 'Kneeling In General,' Raising Hell With Religious Worship

"Jesus likes kneeling," a Twitter critic reminded the White House.

President Donald Trump is “very much against kneeling in general,” press secretary Kayleigh McEnany declared Monday. That was a head-spinner for those who spend time kneeling in houses of worship and at memorials and gravesides.

McEnany was referring to Trump’s opposition to athletes who take a knee before sports events to protest racism and police brutality, but the devil is in the details of bad wording. Those — like Trump — who spend little to no time kneeling at religious services likely didn’t realize how obliviously disrespectful McEnany’s declaration sounded.
Twitter critics were only too happy to point it out:

To be fair, The reason why Trump probably is against kneeling in general is because if he did it, he probably would not be able to get up again.
 
Okay, newflash!

It's actually a Freemason plot. Go search, "George Floyd Freemason" - I kid you not!

OT (really): I just bought shares in a new tinfoil manufacturer? Anybody know if it's a good investment?

Trump threatens use of military force

US President Donald Trump delivered an address this week in which he threatened military action as protests against racism and police brutality spread across the country.

Then he walked to the nearby St John's Episcopal Church to pose with a Bible.

Standing outside the church, which had been damaged and boarded up after days of demonstrations against police brutality, Trump struck different poses, displaying the book for cameras, ostensibly upside-down at times.

"Is that your Bible?" a reporter asked. "It's a Bible," Trump replied.

The president said nothing else about the significance of the site or the circumstances of his appearance before walking back towards the White House.

Outside the White House, police supported by National Guard troops fired tear gas on a largely peaceful protest to clear the area for Trump's photo op.

"If a city or a state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them," Trump said.

National Guard troops have been deployed in several US states.

In a call with state governors, Trump told them they had to "dominate" and said the state of Minnesota, where George Floyd, an African American man died in police custody, had become the laughing stock of the world.

IBM will no longer offer general purpose facial recognition or analysis software, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said in a letter to Congress today. The company will also no longer develop or research the technology, IBM tells The Verge. Krishna addressed the letter to Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Reps. Karen Bass (D-CA), Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Jerrold Nadler (D-NY).

“IBM firmly opposes and will not condone uses of any [facial recognition] technology, including facial recognition technology offered by other vendors, for mass surveillance, racial profiling, violations of basic human rights and freedoms, or any purpose which is not consistent with our values and Principles of Trust and Transparency,” Krishna said in the letter. “We believe now is the time to begin a national dialogue on whether and how facial recognition technology should be employed by domestic law enforcement agencies.”

Reading the bill which was published in the USA, this is to be abolished in its entirety, in any case, should it be approved. This won't be limited to the above and will impact all other products and vendors which use these technologies.

As Vice once called us out,

Smart CCTV Networks Are Driving an AI-Powered Apartheid in South Africa

In one of the world’s most racially divided countries, a company called Vumacam is building a nationwide surveillance network that scrutinizes peoples' movements for “unusual behavior.”

'mass'-surveillance is nearing its end. IBM also said any technology so this would include all other biometrics. Access controls will have to adapt...

Analytics, in general, is under the guillotine.

I don't support this.
