=== Coronavirus: New Terrorism? (03:36) ===

[00:00:03]  Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report.
[00:00:07]  Coronavirus is the new terrorism.
[00:00:10]  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has proposed the next multi-billion dollar coronavirus relief spending bill that will support testing, tracing, treatment, isolation and mask policies that have been part of a national strategic plan she has been advocating.
[00:00:28]  The Trump administration is not opposing Pelosi's plan on principle.
[00:00:32]  Instead, it is haggling over the price.
[00:00:35]  But even if the strategic plan could be implemented at little or no monetary cost, it would still impose an unacceptable cost in lost liberty.
[00:00:46]  Pelosi's plan will lead to either a federal mask mandate or federal funding of state and local mask mandate enforcement.
[00:00:54]  Those who resist wearing masks could likely be reported to the authorities by government-funded masked monitors.
[00:01:03]  We can label this the Stosi approach to health policy after the infamous East German secret police force.
[00:01:11]  Contact tracing could lead to forcing individuals to download a tracing app.
[00:01:17]  The app would record where an individual goes and alert authorities that an individual has been near someone who has tested positive for coronavirus.
[00:01:28]  This strategic plan could eventually include Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci's suggestion that individuals receive digital certificates indicating they are vaccinated for or immune to coronavirus.
[00:01:43]  A certificate would be required before an individual can go to work, to school, or even to the grocery store.
[00:01:50]  The need to demonstrate vaccination for or immunity to coronavirus in order to resume normal life would cause many people to voluntarily receive a potentially dangerous coronavirus vaccine.
[00:02:04]  The Trump administration has already spent billions of dollars to support efforts of companies to develop a coronavirus vaccine.
[00:02:12]  Policymakers have stated that once a vaccine is developed, it will be rushed into production and onto the market.
[00:02:20]  Supporters of expediting production and use of a vaccine should remember the 1976 swine flu vaccine debacle.
[00:02:29]  The swine flu vaccine was rushed into production in response to political pressure to do something.
[00:02:36]  The result was a vaccine that was more of a danger than the flu.
[00:02:41]  Unfortunately, those who raise legitimate concerns regarding the safety of vaccines are smeared as conspiracy theorists.
[00:02:49]  This is the equivalent of stating that anyone who dare criticize our interventionist foreign policy hates freedom and is probably a terrorist sympathizer.
[00:03:00]  The coronavirus panic has given new life to the push for a unique patient identifier.
[00:03:06]  The unique patient identifier was authorized in 1996, but appropriations bills since 1998 have contained a provision forbidding the federal government from developing and implementing the identifier.
[00:03:21]  Unfortunately, two weeks ago, the House of Representatives voted to repeal the ban.
[00:03:27]  The unique patient identifier would aid government efforts to track and vaccinate every American as well as to infringe in other ways on liberty in the name of health.

=== The Rise of Patient Identifiers (00:43) ===

[00:03:39]  Politicians and bureaucrats cannot eliminate a virus any more than they can eliminate terrorism.
[00:03:45]  What they can do is use terrorism, a virus, and other real exaggerated or manufactured crises to expand their power at the expense of our liberty.
[00:03:56]  Politicians will never resist the temptation to use crises as excuses to gain more power.
[00:04:02]  Therefore, it is up to those of us who know the truth to spread the message of liberty and grow the liberty movement.
[00:04:10]  A strong liberty movement is the only thing that can force the politicians to stop stealing our liberty while promising phantom security from terrorists and viruses.
