The Senate will hold a vote on the ‘Copyright Alternative in Small-Claims Enforcement Act,’ (CASE Act) which is a dangerous new bill that would slap a $15,000 fine on sharing a meme you didn’t make or downloading a photo from social media. The he CASE Act would create a separate, industry-friendly system for copyright claims to $30,000, with no option of appeal. Critics say trolls will buy up copyrights with the sole intent of sending out mass threats and lawsuits to harvest settlements. The corporate interests pushing this bill through Congress include the Copyright Alliance, The Motion Picture Association of America, and The Recording Industry Association of America.
Have you ever shared a meme that you didn’t make? Or downloaded a
photo you saw on social media? If Congress has its way, you could soon
get slapped with a $15,000 fine
by copyright trolls––with no chance of appeal––just for doing normal
stuff on the Internet. These trolls buy up copyrights with the sole intent
of sending out mass threats and lawsuits to harvest settlements. Now, a
dangerous new bill called the Copyright Alternative in Small Claims
Enforcement (CASE) Act is sailing through Congress to make it easier for
everyone from trolls to Hollywood producers to sue you. And it just
slipped through a Senate Committee, clearing the way for a full Senate
vote.
In recent years, federal courts have made it easier for
regular people to defend themselves from frivolous lawsuits by trolls.
But the CASE Act would create a separate, industry-friendly system
for copyright claims to $30,000, with no option of appeal. The
corporate interests pushing this bill through Congress are the same ones
that created the SOPA/PIPA.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said, “National sovereignty is not something to be handed over to WHO or other entities and to be renounced just to join a club of seemingly advanced nations…”
This weekend, it was reported that about 100 cases of monkeypox were detected across European countries, Canada and Australia. All of this is convenient timing just as Biden is poised to hand over US sovereignty to the UN World Health Organization.
Axios tried to concoct a motive to blame conservatives for the threats to storm the Supreme Court, murder justices and their clerks, and attack places of worship. But this makes no sense as pro-lifers and conservatives will celebrate a decision to overturn Roe.
Rochelle Walensky said Americans who live in counties with medium levels of Covid-19 should avoid crowds and wear a mask. She wrote, “As of May 19th, over 45% of the U.S. population is in an area with a medium or high COVID-19 Community Level.”
In November 2021, the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) partnered with the Munich Security Conference to conduct a tabletop exercise on reducing biological threats. On Page 10 of the 2021 NTI report, a possible Monkeypox outbreak was described, six months before the current international outbreak of the virus.
The manifesto attributed to Gendron is curious because it supports the gov’t narrative that white right-wing extremists are the biggest threat in our country. NY Governor Hochul signed executive orders to combat gun violence and domestic terrorism, and investigate social media platforms promoting violent extremism.
The woman said that her son is using racism as an excuse to shirk chores and the school taught him that he is seen as a black man and that the world is against him, making it a negative feature.
Tucker Carlson said that $40 billion is only the beginning and total spending could reach $3 TRILLION! Most of the money going to arms manufacturers. The total spending plan is not reported publicly because public support for war with Russia is close zero.
After journalist Shireen Abu Akleh’s funeral, unnamed Israeli officials told reporters that IDF soldiers in a military vehicle had been about 150 yards from where the journalists were working, and fired repeatedly about the time Abu Akleh was killed.
Jaden Hayden was placed in a nursing home and shared a room with an elderly resident, Mr. Norman Bledsoe, 75, whom he allegedly beat. Hayden reportedly filmed himself beating Mr. Bledsoe. Hayden had a history of violence. Bledsoe suffered four broken fingers, broken ribs, and a broken jaw in the attack.
Bill Gates, who is not a scientist or doctor, made this recommendation: “For people over 50 or 60, they’ll probably have to be boosted every six months until we get even better vaccines.”
The UN document reads, “….the report considers replacement migration for eight low-fertility countries (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and United States).
David Chou, 68, a US citizen who was born in Taiwan, allegedly chained church doors shut and then shot at a gathering of mostly elderly Taiwanese parishioners, killing a man who tackled him. Five other people were injured.
An official said that Former Governor Andrew Cuomo and the Democratic-run legislature never leveled with the public on the costs associated with the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act approved in 2019 because the outrageous price, hundreds of billions of dollars, would have made it unpopular.
Project Veritas published an undercover video of a senior engineer at Twitter, Siru Murugesan, admitting that “Twitter does not believe in free speech” and that Twitter is “actually censoring the Right and not the Left” because its employees are “all commie [communist] as f*ck.”
A woman who taught English in China for over a year left the country and described what it was like to be in lockdown, with strict orders to stay inside homes despite lack of food.
Candace Owens tweeted, “Doesn’t Bill Gates just have the best luck? Just like with the COVID vaccine— he makes an investment, and then suddenly there is a pandemic or shortage and everyone must line up for his product. Of course he’s invested in lab produced breast milk!”
As part of a climate change agenda intended to curb drilling, Biden issued an executive order halting drilling on public lands. He recently canceled two leases in the Gulf of Mexico and one in Alaska, which will contribute to current shortages.

Critics are concerned that the laws may serve the hidden purpose of justifying even more selective censorship of politically-unpopular content in the name of protecting copyrights. Article 11 of the law calls for a “link tax”. Article 13 threatens memes because the source material is often copyrighted.
Tens of billions of dollars are earmarked for war, weapons and regime change abroad. Another disturbing element of the bill is that it makes the felony streaming bill and the CASE Act into law that rewrites our copyright laws to aid copyright extortion rackets that shake down incidental and accidental infringement.
The new laws force tech companies to scan though everything their users post and check whether it contains copyrighted material, and if it does have copyrighted material, it must be removed. A “link tax” would force tech companies like Google and Facebook to pay to use snippets of content on their sites.
