Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
The protest in Hong Kong over remove all masks has a deeper concern which has sparked the most violent protests yet. China’s “social compliance ranking” is an AI system that is based on facial recognition software. The deep concern is that this new law is to identify who the people are and then arrest them quietly.
Two months ago in Vancouver, the local paper reported on what was going on with local Hong Kong protests. As many know, Vancouver has been the migration spot for Chinese after the British ceded HK. The Chinese-Canadians were traditionally pro-democracy. However, as China’s power has grown, so has a pro-homeland perspective among some expat Chinese.
Consequently, the pro-democracy protesters were met by the opposition who have been taking pictures of all the faces of the pro-democracy activists. This is what sparked the wearing of masks.
The five demands that the HK protesters had, may actually be eclipsed by the mask issue for that seems to be the real core of the concerns. Have governments gone too far is demanding to know what everyone says, does, and thinks?
As of December 1st, 2019, if you want a new phone number in China, you must submit to have your face scanned. Facial recognition is being used to identify every person.
Many are now saying that because privacy no longer exists, people will have to ban together and fight even harder. That’s an interesting take on the future. Are we watching a riot that is setting new standards that will emerge worldwide? The American Revolution set off a contagion of anti-monarchy. Even where monarchs retained the title, they lost the power as in Britain. Are we witnessing a contagion in the making?
Is the only solution that all governments must realize that privacy should be restored? Is this what the War Cycle is really forecasting with the sharp rise in civil unrest on a global scale which turned up in 2014? Just maybe the HK Anti-Mask uprising is hitting on something we all never considered – the other side of no privacy.

I don’t know about Hong Kong, but this might have ended differently if the man maintained awareness and pistol whipped the female Silverback when she was at arms length.
Let’s be careful out there all TBP’ers!
Don’t open your mouth to darkies or really anyone in public who you are not prepared to pistol whip.

Around blax, never relax. If one is your area of operation, keep your eye on them, especially if you’ve already had words with them. And if you’ve been in for a dime, you best be ready to be in for a handgun dollar.
Off Topic: I want to get this right so where I’m wrong others correct me Update: My comment deleted. I defer to Vote Harder’s comment further down.
Nothing wrong with the phrase “homeland”, a little cultural identity and fascism is a positive thing. Dave Hodges is screaming about this also and saying that UN Troops in the USA and ready to impose the Kigali principles in the event of civil unrest…..Of course, he and others (AJ included) have been talking about a Red Dawn invasion for years….Good luck with that. It is the 4th Turning….what do you expect….shit is going to get a lot more real in the next couple of years.
Not my down vote brother. I respect your opinion.
Popgun and I trade downvotes, I don’t get bothered by downvotes. HT to VoteHarder for posting the text. The Marines have always been considered the most reliable of the branches of the armed services, at least for a constitutional POTUS/CINC. I don’t get worried until DC is denying everything….at least a couple of times, then you know TSHTF. I will be out harvesting Elderberries and hoping to stay away from the grizzlies, let me know the power gets cut to DC….along with the Internet and all TV/Radio….when your cell phone can’t acquire a signal…..panic.
Really? One year ahead of today? Who is predicting the future?
BREAKING NEWS UPDATE concerning a directive involving the United States Marine Corps reserve units via MARADMINS number 550/19, signed on Oct. 3, 2019, authorized by Brigadier General Daniel L. Shipley, Director, Manpower Plans and Policy.
Notably, Brigadier General Daniel L. Shipley was nominated by President Trump for the rank of major general, according to a Jan. 16, 2019 Defense.gov press announcement.
Before serving in his current role, Shipley served as the deputy director, Program Analysis and Evaluation, Department of Programs and Resources for the U.S. Marines.
This new order is summarized as, “MARINES ORDERED TO ACTIVE DUTY ISO DEFENSE SUPPORT OF CIVIL AUTHORITIES.” (The term “ISO” means In Support Of.”) (See full text of the order here.)
Note: There is disinfo being circulated about this order, claiming it was cancelled, but the cancelled order is 300/14, not 500/19. In fact, this new order 500/19 replaces a lot of previous orders, reestablishing the urgency of the situation and making sure any action to defend the Homeland is authorized by orders that are in good standing.
Many observers are concerned that with Democrats like Rep. Tlaib openly talking about which prisons to use for imprisoning President Trump and his cabinet, and with Hillary Clinton positioning herself to run for president, and with the IG’s FISA abuses report set to drop in a few weeks, the deep state Democrats have reached a point of desperation where they may attempt to initiate a “hot coup” (kinetic engagement, arrest or execution of the President and his Cabinet) to avoid going to prison themselves.
The entire CIA-run deep state media (i.e. Washington Post, NYY, CNN, etc.) are all in on the effort and now gaslighting the entire nation with ginned up “whistleblower” schemes that are wholesale fabrications.
Alex Jones reminds us: Trump has long planned to activate the U.S. Marines to stop an illegal coup
I spoke on the phone with Alex Jones today about this breaking news, and he told me, “I talked to a high level Trump confidant concerning what Trump would do if the deep state attempted an illegal coup. Trump said they would call out the marines and surround the White House, then legally and lawfully pursue the originators of the criminal coup.”
This high-level confidant is someone who is very close to the President, and who is familiar with the President’s plans for how to deal with any attempt by the deep state to carry out an illegal coup
attempt.
We urge all lawful, pro-America organizations and individuals to prepare to defend your President against an illegal coup attempt in the coming weeks or months.
Details of the military order to U.S. Marines: “threats in the Homeland” … “will come with little or no warning”
Does the following order describe an activation of U.S. Marines reserve units to prepare for an anticipated hot coup attempt against our President? While some might downplay the order as a routine personnel organization directive, you can read the highlights here and decide for
yourself.
The highlights of the order (order # 550/19), found at this Marines.mil link, are as follows: (bold emphasis added) (you can also try this direct link to see if it’s responding)
ORDER TO ACTIVE DUTY TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN RESPONSE TO A MAJOR DISASTER OR EMERGENCY.
TOTAL FORCE MOBILIZATION, ACTIVATION, INTEGRATION, AND DEACTIVATION PLAN (MAID-P).
In accordance with (IAW) REF A, this MARADMIN provides guidance for the activation of Reserve Component (RC) Marines under §12304a, Title 10, U.S. Code, following a request for Federal assistance in response to a major disaster or emergency within the United States. Requests for Federal assistance will come with little warning. As required, the Marine Corps must rapidly mobilize RC units and personnel IAW this MARADMIN in order to respond to threats in the Homeland.
This order specifically references the President of the United States as the commanding officer:
SECNAV’s delegated authority may be exercised only after: (Note: SECNAV means Secretary of the Navy)
…2.B.2. When directed by the President in support of (ISO) a request for assistance (RFA) from a primary Federal department or
agency…
This order also invokes the “Marine Emergency Preparedness Liaison Officer (EPLO)” as well as a large contingent of U.S. Marines forces:
USNORTHCOM and USINDOPACOM requests EPLO activation through its USMC service component, Marine Forces North (MARFORNORTH) and Marine Forces Pacific (MARFORPAC).
COMMARFORNORTH/COMMARFORPAC should consider using on hand Active Component (AC) and Active Reserve (AR) personnel to meet immediate IA requirements.
The order also appears to underscore something called, “involuntary activation authority” as
explained here:
RC personnel can be sourced from the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) or Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) program with the involuntary activation authority residing with SECNAV and SECDEF.
4.C.3. Ensure coordination is conducted with MARFORPAC and MARFORNORTH regarding the expected or planned RC IA mobilizations either in a voluntary or involuntary status.
4.C.6. As required, act on delegated SECNAV authorities for volunteer mobilization orders under §12301(d) for the initial 72 hour Immediate Response Authority period IOT facilitate a rapid time-sensitive response.
TY.
Unpossible.
The Oath Keepers would rise up and stop that shit, well stop what actually?
Stop it with the Sunday night bad humor.
There will be no jail except living under a FEMALE PREZ.
Private islands and golden parachutes for the current administration.
Right on time…
What exactly is a “lawful pro-America organization or individual”??
There is no way to correct this situation and abide by laws! Remember, the founding fathers were all criminals by definition. This country was started by revolution. This country was founded on disobedience, NOT OBEDIENCE. Don’t be a statist! Disobey all lawful orders NOW!
Defend Trump?
Not me!
Getting tired of posting this for 3.5 years.

Barr is overseas investigating the predicate for spying on an opposition presidential campaign and Brennan is due to be interrogated very soon. Could this mobilization be in preparation for some 0400 FIB storm trooper raids of some VERY important individuals in the District of Corruption?
Time will tell, but it looks like The Donald may be getting out the long guns for his offensive.
Nice work…thanks!
VH: All this order is is a renewal of a five yo standing order. Without renewal it would expire.
Of greater interest is this little tidbit about Obama and the Emergency Powers Act and how it relates to the current brouhaha surrounding Ukraine scuttlebutt.
This is the renewal part of the order:
“GENTEXT/RMKS/1. Purpose. This MARADMIN cancels MARADMIN 300/14. In accordance with (IAW) REF A, this MARADMIN provides guidance for the activation of Reserve Component (RC) Marines under §12304a, Title 10, ”
this is Obama and what he did in 2014 with the Emergency Powers Act. Why would he do this?
Remember your history boys and girls, remember the NATO build up on the Russian border? Remember how Putin swept in and secured Crimea before the US state department finished with the coup?
On 6 March 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama, invoked, inter alia, the National Emergencies Act, and signed an executive order that declared a national emergency and ordered sanctions, including travel bans and the freezing of U.S. asset, against not-yet-specified individuals, later to be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury (in consultation with the Secretary of State) who had “asserted governmental authority in the Crimean region without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine” and whose actions were found, inter alia, to “undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine”.
Has nothing to do with Obama or Ukraine.

Read more carefully, I didn’t say it was about Ukraine I said Ukraine was of more interest.
I didn’t say you said it was about Ukraine. I said it has nothing to do with Ukraine. The topic is about “the United States Marine Corps reserve units via MARADMINS number 550/19, signed on Oct. 3, 2019”.
So you changed the subject entirely like a strawman do.
Y2K redux… start stockpiling now.
Do not be deceived, The Hong Kong uprising is due to a staged color revolution by the west.
Britain had a ninety year lease on Hong Kong and when that was up the Brits left and the Chicoms took over. Emperor Xi appointing himself emperor and Premier Potentate of China has ushered in a new and more totalitarian era. There are major crackdowns on the chinese citizens, the surveillance and control become more draconian by the day and His Majesty Xi has turned his gaze to Hong Kong. The West doesn’t have to do squat, Xi is doing it for them. Hong Kong wants to be free to conduct trade and make money….the Chicoms want to control that freedom.
US strategies to control other nations include preemptive wars of aggression, old-fashioned coups, and color revolutions — what appears to be going on in Hong Kong.
This form of covert war first played out in Belgrade, Serbia in 2000. What appeared to be a spontaneous political uprising was developed by RAND Corporation strategist in the 1990s — the concept of swarming.
It replicates “communication patterns and movement of” bees and other insects used against nations to destabilize and topple their governments.
The CIA, (anti-democratic) National Endowment for Democracy (NED), International Republican Institute (IRI), National (undemocratic) Democratic Institute, and USAID are involved.
Their mission is disruptively subverting democracy and instigating regime change through labor strikes, mass street protests, major media agitprop, and whatever else it takes short of military conflict.
US color revolution attempts have a common thread, aiming to achieve what the Pentagon calls “full spectrum dominance” — notably by neutralizing and controlling Russia and China, Washington’s main rival powers, adversaries because of their sovereign independence.
Controlling resource-rich Eurasia, that includes the Middle East, along with Venezuelan world’s largest oil reserves, is a key US imperial aim.
Swarming tactics are being used in Hong Kong. According to RAND strategists John Arquilla and David Ronfeldt, it’s war by other means.
The Wolfowitcz doctrine in action.
Nice ride. Cutting edge ’60s design. While I don’t speak Chinese I think at the 2:28 mark he’s saying “Who’s your daddy?” But in seriousness, I hope we don’t fuck with these people. I mean we’d have to throw our transgenders waiting for sex change operations up on the front line.
they throw a heckuva party. these ain’t grandpa’s red chinese.
The sleeping giant is awake now.
