Elon Musk's Act of Civil Disobedience Pays Off, as California Health Officials Back Down
Musk won back a measure of freedom by peacefully asserting his rights. Will others follow his lead?
Yesterday evening, Alameda County health officials backed down in their conflict with Elon Musk, reversing their shutdown order and granting provisional approval for Tesla's Fremont, California plant to reopen.
Musk had already reopened the plant for business in defiance of the lockdown order, tweeting on Monday:
Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.As Ars Technica reports, Alameda County Health Department officials reported coming to terms with Tesla:
In a series of tweets, they said they had reviewed Tesla's reopening plans and "held productive discussions today with Tesla’s representatives about their safety and prevention plans.
"We have agreed that Tesla can begin to augment their Minimum Business Operations this week in preparation for possible reopening as soon as next week," another Tuesday evening tweet said.
No law enforcement official seems prepared to punish Musk for his initial defiance of county health orders. The Associated Press reports that the sheriff of Alameda County directed questions about the issue to the Fremont police department. Fremont police said they would act at the direction of county health officials.
As I wrote yesterday, Musk's decision qualified as economic civil disobedience in the deeply American tradition of Henry David Thoreau:
[Musk] is disobeying an unjust law. And he is resisting non-violently. He is not seizing government buildings. He is just asserting his right to open Tesla’s private property to willing employees, and to pay them to produce cars to sell to willing buyers. And he expressly offered himself up for arrest should the government decide to invade private property and cage him for...
Rand Paul: Biden Has Been “Caught Red-Handed” Abusing Spy Powers
“We now know at the very least Vice President Biden was in this up to his eyeballs.”
Senator Rand Paul declared Wednesday that Joe Biden has been “caught red handed” abusing surveillance powers to go after a political opponent.
Paul was recating to the news that Joe Biden is on the list of Obama officials who potentially received intelligence by way of unmasking requests against Mike Flynn, President Trump’s former national security advisor.

“They said President Trump was using the govt to go after a political opponent? This is VP Biden using the spying powers of the US to go after a political opponent.” Paul declared, adding “He’s caught red-handed here.”

“How unusual is this that the entire upper echelon — individually it wasn’t just one request for this, there were dozens of requests. Almost everyone in President Obama’s top circle wanted to see this and wanted to listen to this conversation.” Paul noted, responding to a question about criminal proceedings being pursued.
“This isn’t about national security, this is about eavesdropping on your opponent and eavesdropping on the new president’s top advisor. This is very, very...
Senators Ask Obama Officials, Including Biden: ‘Why did you unmask Flynn and what did you do with it?
Sixteen top Obama administration officials – including Vice President Joe Biden – requested information to ‘unmask’ the identity of retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn during the presidential transition period, according to the declassified list given to two top GOP Senators from Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.
Former United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power, however, appeared to have the most requests for Flynn’s information from November 30, 2016 until Jan. 11, 2017 she had issued seven requests to unmask Flynn’s name.
“Only certain personnel are authorized to submit unmasking requests into the NSA system,” stated Grenell in the documents to the Senators. “In this case, 16 authorized individuals requested unmaskings for (redacted) different NSA intelligence reports for select principals. While principals are identified below, we cannot confirm they saw the unmasked information. This response does not include any requests outside of the specified time-frame.”
Grenell had declassified the list this week and sent it to the Department of Justice for review before releasing the documents to Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson on Wednesday. Both Senators demanded that the documents be made public Tuesday night in a formal letter to Grenell.
The much anticipated documents were stunning, as former Vice President Biden’s name was revealed on the official list of those requesting the classified information on Flynn. It appears that the officials on the list all had access to Flynn’s highly classified conversation with then Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the transition in December, 2016.
Flynn’s conversation was leaked to several Washington Post reporters and then printed in a column by David Ignatius, who stated that numerous senior officials had verified the information in his column. The column was the impetus for the FBI’s continued investigation into Flynn, which eventually led to his firing from the White House after a short tenure as Trump’s first national security advisory. The Department of Justice has now asked the courts to drop Flynn’s case against him after his Defense attorney Sidney Powell and DOJ appointed U.S. Attorney Jeffery Jenson revealed a litany of information that was withheld from his defense by prosecutors and what appeared to be a perjury trap set up by...

U.S. Media Helps China Spread Propaganda About Wuhan Virus And Foreign Policy
Perhaps still worse than our media providing an open platform for the Chinese Communist Party is its parroting of CCP propaganda.
For the latest evidence of China’s bellicosity, consider recent reporting from U.S. intelligence that Chinese hackers have been attempting to steal intellectual property from U.S. institutions seeking Chinese coronavirus treatments and vaccines. These attempts may have already damaged vaccine research. This is on top of China’s increasingly overt acts of aggression from Taiwan to the South China Sea, and Australia to the European Union.
For the latest evidence of the U.S. media’s complicity, consider a representative example from a May 5 article in the Washington Post. The adopter of the “Democracy Dies in Darkness” tagline opened its opinion page to the democracy-defying Chinese Communist Party (CCP), printing an editorial from Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai.
The New York Times did so as well several weeks prior, allowing Tiankai to publish an editorial calling for “solidarity, collaboration and mutual support,” in what seemed to be a coordinated effort with some 100 Chinese scholars, who echoed this call in an open letter. They were joined by many of the media’s close partners in the U.S. national security and foreign policy establishment, nearly 100 of whom who signed a similar letter.
China Again Attempts to Deflect Deserved Blame
The Washington Post column, titled “Chinese ambassador: Ignoring the facts to blame China will only make things worse,” is a masterpiece of the CCP English-language propaganda genre. It begins with two big lies, and goes downhill from there.
First, Tankai says China “spared no expense to save lives.” It did no such thing.
Some things it might have done had it been such a humanitarian actor include: preserving coronavirus samples and inviting doctors from across the world to freely examine them; permitting its doctors to speak openly and honestly; halting international travel out of Hubei province, and suggesting that other countries close their borders too; apprising the world that the coronavirus spread by human-to-human transmission the second it knew this, consistent with the urgings of Taiwan; and allowing Taiwan to participate in World Health Organization (WHO) forums concerning the coronavirus.
Second, Tiankai says that “the absurd mind-set of ‘always blame China’” has been hampering “international efforts to curb the virus.” This isn’t true either.
While Tiankai would like to present the Chinese Communist Party as the victim, it is the assailant. Rather than “sparing no expense to save lives,” it instead spared no attempt to suppress the truth about what was transpiring, blame-shifted, and threatened those calling for...
Gretchen Whitmer: State Police ‘Monitoring All of the Conversations’ of Capitol Protesters
Michigan state police are “monitoring all of the conversations” of protesters planning to descend on the capitol Thursday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer told reporters.
Whitmer was first asked about what “proof” she has that protesters had spread the virus around the state after previous demonstrations.
“I saw one report— I don’t have proof. I’m not following everybody home and taking their temperatures and watching them for two weeks,” she said.
Whitmer claimed to see a lot of activists “touching each other” at protests.
She said a group analyzed cell phone data and concluded that it “translates to where we’re seeing hot spots in rural parts of Michigan.”
“I don’t know the group, I’ve not vetted the data, I can’t vouch for it,” she admitted.
Whitmer was then asked if she “wants to see” the Michigan State Police ticket protesters who are violating social distancing orders.
“I think the Michigan State Police is monitoring all of the conversations around this event tomorrow – that they are prepared and are working with the attorney general,” she said.
She said they are prepared to ticket protesters “if there’s reason to do it.”
“I’m hopeful they...
