You have to give Alex Jones for this stand. He says he may have to call for the impeachment of President Trump following a Washington Post report that says the Trump Administration is considering using social media to determine who is fit and unfit to own a gun.
From WaPo:
The White House has been briefed on a proposal to develop a way to identify early signs of changes in people with mental illness that could lead to violent behavior.Here is the Jones commentary:
Supporters see the plan as a way President Trump could move the ball forward on gun control following recent mass shootings as efforts seem to be flagging to impose harsher restrictions such as background checks on gun purchases.
The proposal is part of a larger initiative to establish a new agency called the Health Advanced Research Projects Agency or HARPA, which would sit inside the Health and Human Services Department. Its director would be appointed by the president, and the agency would have a separate budget, according to three people with knowledge of conversations around the plan...
The concept was advanced by the Suzanne Wright Foundation and first discussed by officials on the Domestic Policy Council and senior White House staffers in June 2017. But the idea has gained momentum in the wake of the latest mass shootings that killed 31 people in one weekend in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio.
The Suzanne Wright Foundation re-approached the administration last week and proposed that HARPA include a “Safe Home” — “Stopping Aberrant Fatal Events by Helping Overcome Mental Extremes” — project...
Trump has reacted “very positively” to the HARPA proposal, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions and has been “sold on the concept.” But it’s unclear whether the president has reviewed the new “Safe Home” component of the proposal and creating an entire agency would be a huge lift in Congress...
Trump has a close personal relationship with Bob Wright, who founded the Suzanne Wright Foundation after his wife passed away from pancreatic cancer. Wright is the former chair of NBC and was in that job while Trump headlined “The Apprentice...
HARPA would develop “breakthrough technologies with high specificity and sensitivity for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence,” says a copy of the proposal. “A multi-modality solution, along with real-time data analytics, is needed to achieve such an accurate diagnosis.”
The document goes on to list a number of widely used technologies it suggests could be employed to help collect data, including Apple Watches, Fitbits, Amazon Echo and Google Home. The document also mentions “powerful tools” collected by health-care provides like fMRIs, tractography and image analysis.
“Advanced analytical tools based on artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly improving and must be applied to the data,” states the document

Well, if he seriously calls for El Jefe's impeachment, then Jones could be welcomed back on Progressive social media with open arms. Good tactic.
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd Amendment is one area where a lot of us were not sure if Trump would flake. But Alex Jones also needs to call for the impeachment of all of Congress.
ReplyDeleteEven Rand Paul showed what a dope he was to openly say he would consider red flag laws, so much for his alleged Constitutional principles.
Trump Admin is now backtracking, so maybe they got the message from Jones and Drudge that this idea was a disaster.
ReplyDeleteLet’s start by analyzing the social media posts from cops and military personnel.
ReplyDeleteYes let them be the test subjects! Not sure what Cheeto in Chief is aiming for. Perhaps he is tired and only wants 1 term.
DeleteGood luck implementing this boon doggle
