Brave New World: Coronavirus Authoritarians Building Massive Surveillance State

“Never let a crisis go to waste.” Big tech is getting into bed with big government to build a massive surveillance superstructure that will monitor all of our movements – in the name of fighting coronavirus, of course.

In a shocking press conference yesterday, President Trump and his advisors announced that the US military would begin conducting a “counter-narcotics operation” in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean.

While Trump Fights Coronavirus, Pompeo’s on the Warpath

Keep your eye on Pompeo! President Trump is understandably distracted by the coronavirus outbreak in the US but in the “never let a good crisis go to waste” mode, the neocons in his Administration – led by Pompeo – are launching their war plots without the normal scrutiny. Venezuela, Iran, Syria, Russia – the long knives are coming out. Trump has been able to put the kibbosh on Pompeo’s plans before, but a distracted Trump is in danger of losing control of his foreign policy. Launching a foolish war in the midst of the current crisis would surely spell disaster for the president. On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report.
