The U.S. military’s chief information officer (CIO) and former CIA deputy director John Shermansaid his office will assume control of all 5G-related activities in the U.S. military and expand the military’s 5G pilot programs — a move critics said could lead to increased surveillance of U.S. citizens.

The move will shift the Pentagon’s 5G efforts from the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, Heidi Shyu, to Sherman’s office.

The transition will officially take effect on Oct. 1, but Sherman said his office has “already been working left seat, right seat with research and engineering on this, [in] a very close partnership with Honorable Heidi Shyu and her team.”

Sherman also wants to expand the military’s use of 5G, but he did not say exactly what that expansion may look like.

Addressing an anti-vaccination rally in Washington, DC, American environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sunday compared COVID-19 vaccination mandates to the Holocaust, saying that “Even in [Adolf] Hitler’s Germany… you could hide in the attic like Anne Frank did,” according to a tweet by NBC News senior reporter Ben Collins.

We are onto the original acoustic guitar music about the vaccine portion of the antimandate rally so I will be blending something while using a powersaw for the next five to ten minutes.

At the antivaxx rally in DC, RFK Jr. says that in the future “none of us can run and none of us can hide” because of Bill Gates’ satellites and also 5G, unlike… the Holocaust.

“Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could hide in the attic like Anne Frank did.”

Kennedy, who is a son of assassinated senator Robert. F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, has been outspoken in his opposition to vaccines, including the COVID-19 vaccine.

Kennedy’s organization Children’s Health Defense has disseminated various conspiracy theories regarding the coronavirus pandemic, particularly via social media; Its COVID-19 vaccine-related posts have been shared more often on Twitter than vaccine-related reports from mainstream sources such as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), CNN, Fox News and NPR, according to a report by the Associated Press.

At the Washington rally, dubbed “Defeat the Mandates: An American Homecoming,” another speaker, TV producer Del Bigtree, suggested that there should be a Nuremberg trial for medical workers and journalists, referencing the war crimes trials for Nazis that were held after World War II, according to the independent.

Throughout the pandemic, numerous public figures have drawn comparisons between COVID-19 lockdowns and vaccine mandates to the genocidal Nazi regime.

Just last week, Vickie Paladino, a member of the New York City Council apologized after she compared COVID-19 vaccination passes to Nazi oppression in interview with NY1, saying, “I don’t need to show you my papers. This is not Nazi Germany.”

That same week, responding to a Twitter update from Washington mayor Muriel Bowser regarding COVID-19 requirements in the city, Ohio Congressman Warren Davidson posted a photo of a Nazi-era health pass, saying “This has been done before.”

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has outlined the steps he wants US companies to take to deal with “untrusted Chinese apps”.

The measures go far beyond President Donald Trump’s current push to force the sale of TikTok to an American firm.

Mr. Pompeo says apps like TikTok and WeChat pose “significant threats to the personal data of American citizens”.

Wednesday’s announcement marks a further deterioration in relations between Washington and Beijing.

The US government argues that such apps harvest the data of US citizens and could be exploited by the Chinese Communist Party, which Beijing has denied.

One of the significant steps involves the removal of “untrusted” Chinese apps from US app stores, along with clamping down on cloud computing providers.

Along with the Chinese telecoms giant Huawei, TikTok has been firmly in the sights of US President Donald Trump as two companies he wants to crack down on.

The scope of those measures has now been extended much wider and includes Chinese technology giants such as Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent, which have a presence in the US.

‘Clean network’

Mr. Pompeo, who is America’s most senior diplomat, set out a five-pronged approach to “safeguard America’s assets” that include:

· Ensuring the “untrusted People’s Republic of China (PRC) carriers” are not connected with the US telecommunications networks

· Removing “untrusted” applications from US app stores

· Stopping “untrusted” Chinese smartphone manufacturers from pre-installing, or making available for download, the most popular US apps

· Preventing US citizens’ sensitive personal information and companies’ intellectual property from being stored and accessed on Chinese cloud-based services

· Ensuring undersea cables connecting the US to the global internet are not compromised for intelligence gathering by China

It is unclear how the US would enforce the new guidelines or what authority it has to do so. But Mr. Pompeo said more than 30 countries now had “clean networks” which are designed to secure a country’s critical telecommunications.

• Microsoft’s TikTok grab: Inspired or naive?
• Trump demands US cut of Microsoft TikTok deal

Mr. Trump has pledged to ban TikTok in America by 15 September unless its US business is sold to an American company. Microsoft is currently in talks to buy it.

TikTok, which is owned by Chinese tech firm ByteDance, has said its US users’ data is stored outside China and is safe.

US officials have long complained that Chinese intellectual property theft has cost the economy billions of dollars in revenue and thousands of jobs, which Beijing has consistently denied.

Last month, Mr. Pompeo said the US was looking at banning TikTok as well as other Chinese social media apps on national security concerns, calling them “Trojan horses for Chinese intelligence.”
