Officials in Knox County, Tennessee, are telling local churches to stop conducting communion, to remove Bibles from the pews and to even discourage singing during service.
The county released a “phased reopening” plan which, ironically enough, references several New York City guidelines for its models on how churches should conduct worship even though Knox Co. has no where near as many cases as NYC, nor does it even have the most cases in Tennessee, according to a case map by Tennessean.com.
According to Knox Co.’s own data, the county has had 232 positive cases of Covid-19, with 199 reported recoveries as of the time of this writing.

Now, according to the reopening plan:
– The physical taking of communion/sacrament should not be performed due to the serial breaking of physical distancing across a congregation. Consider guiding parishioners in how to connect with the spiritual aspects of these practices during this phase.
– Singing is discouraged as it is thought to be an activity that expels significantly more virus than talking.
– Deep cleaning should occur between services. Remove all communal items (for example, tithe plates, hymnals, bibles, etc.). If applicable, use a donation box instead of tithe plate.

We’ve reached out to the county to see why New York City guidelines were used instead of guidelines by the State of Tennessee.
The county could potentially put itself at risk for litigation given that government officials are basically telling churches how to conduct worship, especially with the claim about singing.
At some point it might be more prudent for churches to remain closed instead of allowing the government influence over their theology.
This story does bring to mind an incident in China in which Christian churches were forced to replace the Ten Commandments with quotes from Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“Some congregations have been threatened to be blacklisted by the government, meaning that their travels will be restricted and schooling and future employment of their offspring will be impeded if they refused to overhaul their churches according to the current national policies,” according to a journalist who covered the story. “Disobeying the orders means opposition to the Communist Party, officials claimed.”
Now while that incident didn’t take place amid a pandemic, it does underscore the dangers of allowing government inside the church, regardless of the reason.

Crisis of Meaning = Crisis of Work

Crisis of Meaning = Crisis of Work

Posted on December 23, 2016 by Charles Hugh Smith

Allow me to connect two apparently unconnected dots. Dot #1: The last sugar plantation in Hawaii is closing down, ending more than a century of plantation life in the 50th state.

Dot #2: a new study found that Nearly 95% of all new jobs during Obama era were part-time, or contract.

The research by economists Lawrence Katz of Harvard University and Alan Krueger at Princeton University shows that the proportion of workers throughout the U.S., during the Obama era, who were working in these kinds of temporary jobs, increased from 10.7% of the population to 15.8%. Krueger, a former chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, was surprised by the finding. The disappearance of conventional full-time work, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. work, has hit every demographic. “Workers seeking full-time, steady work have lost,” said Krueger.

While it’s tempting to dismiss the plantation economy as corporate exploitation–a blatant reality in the early decades–once the I.L.W.U. represented the labor force, a more benign version emerged.

Indeed, what is striking is the nostalgia of the workers and residents for the orderly, secure life of the plantations. I attended high school in a classic plantation town in 1969-70, Lanai City, owned by Dole Pineapple, my summer employer.

Police are secretly using 'VACCINE'

to spy on community events, public transportation

Police are secretly using 'VACCINE' to spy on community events, public transportation etc., Part 3

 'Visual Analytics for Command, Control and Interoperability Environments (VACCINE) is co-led by Purdue and Rutgers University. The above video reveals how eager university professors and students are to help DHS spy on Americans.

Just like 'STINGRAY', police and Fusion Centers are secretly using VACCINE to spy on Americans.

"In 2012, VACCINE entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Ohio Fusion Center, managed by the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) and Ohio Homeland Security."

Keeping VACCINE a secret is what police and Fusion Center spying is all about. Check out the excerpt from page 26 of VACCINE's 2013 Annual Report.

"VACCINE has a well-established process for entering into Memorandums of Understanding and Non-Disclosure Agreements to ensure protection of the parties and data involved."

DHS is running a non-profit to spy on Americans.

"The basic structure is through the establishment of a non-profit Limited Liability Corporation (VACCINE LLC) which is managed by the Purdue Research Foundation and overseen by VACCINE."

To find out about the latest in VACCINE news click here.

DHS and Purdue university have also created the "Visual Law Enforcement Toolkit" (VALET) which allows cops and Fusion Centers to spy on an the entire population.

"VALET provides law enforcement agencies with a suite of analytical tools coupled with an interactive visual interface for data exploration and analysis, forecasting, planning, and management. This system includes linked views and interactive displays that spatiotemporally model criminal, traffic and civil (CTC) incidents and allows officials to observe patterns and quickly identify regions with higher probabilities of activity."

VALET helps cops spy on community events and public transportation.

• Identify crime hotspots and anomalies.
• Analyze trends and patterns in criminal activity through time (by day, week, month or year).
• Forecast crime hotspots to assist in the development of preventive measures and in resource planning and allocation.
• Identify potential correlations among multiple datasets (for example, census data, daily weather reports, bus routes, zoning tracts, and community events calendars) against criminal, traffic and civil incident data.

VALET can also be used to spy on social media, public transportation etc.

DHS is using eight more programs called GeoVISTA, CrimeViz, SensePlace2, Jigsaw, GARI MERGE, cgSARVA and Scatterblog to spy on Americans.

"Scatterblog is a social media analysis tool which looks at real time twitter information to monitor and detect any anomalies for the purpose of alerting first responders."

 

"Recent advances in technology have enabled social media services to support space-time indexed data, and internet users from all over the world have created a large volume of time-stamped, geo-located data. Such spatiotemporal data has immense value for increasing situational awareness of local events...."

In other words police are using 'Scatterblog' to spy on people at large events and on public transportation.

Universities are more than willing to accept DHS grant money and are instrumental in devising new ways to track our every movement.

 

"Broad network of schools: partners with 27 universities both domestic and international aimed at turning massive data into actionable knowledge through innovative visual analytics techniques."

 

There are in fact, more than 27 universities working on VACCINE, click here & here to find out who they are.
 

Companies have to be invited by DHS to spy on Americans.

 

Below is an excerpt taken from the 'VACCINE Corporate Development' section on pages 26 & 27.

 

"Membership in the VACCINE, LLC is by invitation only. Member companies need to be complementary as opposed to competitive in nature."

 

In other words, companies have to be willing to work together to spy on everyone!

According to VACCINE's Corporate Visionary Partner Program, corporations must contribute $50,000 a year and are asked to recruit VACCINE students.

 

"Recruit VACCINE students. Our students are our most valuable assets. They add substantial value to any company as interns or employees."

 

Also, there are seventeen corporations and thirty-three gov't partners working with DHS to make VACCINE a reality.

 

Four corporations and one gov't partner in particular, will have you scratching your head. They are, a pet hospital, a video card manufacturer, a card company, a personal hygene & health care corporation and a native American Indian nation.

• Banfield Pet Hospital
• NVIDIA
• Hallmark
• Kimberly Clark
• Navajo Nation

What this really means, is every time you bring your pet to the veterinarian, play a video game, purchase a birthday card, blow your nose or wipe your privates, you're supporting gov't spying.

I'm at loss to explain Navajo Nation, maybe they think DHS will only use VACCINE to spy on the border?

Unfortunately, the public will never know what spying programs these companies are working on.

"VACCINE is very interested in developing research projects under confidential contractual arrangements."

Right about now you're probably thinking, it can't get any worse. But you'd be wrong, because amazingly the Boy Scouts of America are working with VACCINE.

"VACCINE continued to build our multi-agency public safety consortium with organizations beyond the borders of Indiana; we developed new relationships with organizations such as the Illinois State Police, the Cook County Sherriff’s Department, the NYPD, Morgan State University, the Stevens Institute, Sejong University, and the Boy Scouts of America." (page 5)

So there you have it, VACCINE is a conglomerate of DHS, universities, private corporations, the Boy Scouts and a native American Indian nation working together to spy on us.

This is the sad reality of police state America, where even the Boy Scouts are spying on us.

This is part 3 of a four-part series.

Part 1: DHS/Police are turning public CCTV cameras into surveillance cameras.
Part 2: School kids from K-12 are being indoctrinated into accepting DHS's 'VACCINE' spying program, Part 2
