THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CALIFORNIA - This site is dedicated to exposing the continuing Marxist Revolution in California and the all around massive stupidity of Socialists, Luddites, Communists, Fellow Travelers and of Liberalism in all of its ugly forms.
"It was a splendid population - for all the slow, sleepy, sluggish-brained sloths stayed at home - you never find that sort of people among pioneers - you cannot build pioneers out of that sort of material. It was that population that gave to California a name for getting up astounding enterprises and rushing them through with a magnificent dash and daring and a recklessness of cost or consequences, which she bears unto this day - and when she projects a new surprise the grave world smiles as usual and says, "Well, that is California all over."
"Fuck you all. I will pump every one of you damned Peasants full of chemicals."
Gavin Newsom
POLICE STATE - The time is rapidly coming when we Peasants will not be allowed to teach at school, be a fireman or work in a restaurant unless we are pumped full of government mandated chemicals and have a tracking chip shoved up our asses. Remember, Big Brother says it's all about being "safe".
Gov. Gavin Newsom warned residents not to get too hopeful.
“We’re not going back to normal. It’s a new normal with adaptations and modifications, until we get to immunity and a vaccine,” the governor said Tuesday during a press briefing.
“Millions of Californians answered the call to stay home and thanks to them, we are in a position to begin moving into our next stage of modifying our stay at home order,” Newsom said in a press release discussing the state’s efforts to head toward Phase 2 of reopening on Friday. “But make no mistake – this virus isn’t gone. It’s still dangerous and poses a significant public health risk. As we move into the next stage of reopening, we will do so with updated guidance to help qualifying businesses make modifications needed to lower the risk of COVID-19 exposure to customers and workers. Californians should prepare now for that second stage of reopening.”
In order to prevent "discrimination" insane Racist Leftists now want the Big Brother Police State to grill and catalog people about what race they belong to during traffic stops. It is just a matter of time until cops are ordered to demand the religion of those who are stopped.
(Los Angeles Times) - Police officers in California will soon track the race of those they pull over for traffic stops or encounter in the street, according to proposed guidelines released Friday by Democrat Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris. The new rules, established by the passage of Assembly Bill 953 in 2015, are designed to help understand biases in policing efforts across the state.
"Racial and identity profiling weaken public trust and have debilitating effects on communities," Harris said in a statement. "These regulations and data will help law enforcement improve policing practices and strengthen accountability.” Aside from demographic information on race, gender and age of the person stopped, officers will have to record and collect the location, duration and reason for each stop under the proposed regulations. Officers also will be required to document the actions they take and the result of the encounter. The attorney general's office will make the data public by each law enforcement agency through its criminal justice data website, OpenJustice.
What do the Race Police do? California Democrats want cops to grill model-actress Naomi Campbell about her race. She is of Afro-Jamaican and Chinese ancestry. So which "race" is to be entered on government forms and which race would be the one that is "discriminated" against?
Racist Democrats Racist Democrat policies want Californians like Jessica Alba to be grilled by cops about her race. Jessica is of Danish, Welsh, German, English, Mexican and French ancestry. So which "race" is to be entered on government forms and which race would be the one that is "discriminated" against?
The Insanity of Liberal Racism Actor Dwayne Johnson's father is of Black Nova Scotian origin, and his mother is of Samoan heritage. The insane racists of the Left are not sure what to do with Americans of mixed race who do not fit into their fantasy world of "pure blood" racial groupings.
In violation of the Bill of Rights the Feds seized the electronics of the Mayor of Stockton, California without a warrant.
(Infowars News) - Anthony Silva, the mayor of Stockton, California, recently went to China for a mayor’s conference. On his return to San Francisco airport he was detained by Homeland Security, and then had his two laptops and his mobile phone confiscated.
They refused to show him any sort of warrant (of course) and then refused to let him leave until he agreed to hand over his password:
“A few minutes later, DHS agents confiscated all my electronic devices including my personal cell phone. Unfortunately, they were not willing or able to produce a search warrant or any court documents suggesting they had a legal right to take my property. In addition, they were persistent about requiring my passwords for all devices,” Silva said.
Silva was not allowed to leave the airport until he gave his passwords to the agents, which the mayor’s personal attorney, Mark Reichel, claimed is illegal.
The mayor said the agents told him confiscating property from travelers at the airport was “in fact routine and not unusual,” and promised to return the items within a few days.
To some extent what the DHS told him is true. It’s not that unusual, but it’s not that common either. But forcing him to turn over the passwords is unusual, and not standard practice. Besides, courts have been growing increasingly less impressed with Homeland Security’s willingness to ignore the Constitution at the border.
The feds, of course, refuse to say anything, saying they cannot confirm or deny anything. Silva first claimed that he’s “happy to cooperate and comply with these inspection procedures if they are in fact routine and legal,” but pretty quickly notes how ridiculous all of this is:
“I think the American people should be extremely concerned about their personal rights and privacy,” he said. “As I was being searched at the airport, there was a Latino couple to my left, and an Asian couple to my right also being aggressively searched. I briefly had to remind myself that this was not North Korea or Nazi Germany. This is the land of the Free.”
(Sacramento Business Journal) - Distributors of soda and other sugary drinks would be required to pay two pennies per ounce for diabetes programs under legislation by a Santa Monica Democrat.
As have previous incarnations of the bill, it pits health organizations against business groups. These include the California Chamber of Commerce, which has labeled the bill a job killer, and the California Restaurant Association, which calls it government overreach.
The bill’s author, Democrat Assemblyman Richard Bloom, highlights studies that show taxes on sweetened beverages lower consumption.
In January 2014, the Mexican government slapped a tax on sodas. The action led to a 10 percent reduction of purchases, according a study from Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
A one-cent per ounce tax proposed in 2013 was estimated to bring in $1.8 billion to the state, but died in committee. A similar bill met the same fate in 2010. And legislation last year that would have required a warning label on soda akin to cigarettesdied last year in committee.
Assembly Bill 1357 will be heard May 12 in an Assembly health committee.
At last Democrats and Republicans working together to protect the Bill of Rights and our freedoms.
Drones may seem like a dream for law enforcement agencies wanting to put cameras in the sky for easy airborne surveillance, but a bill that sailed through the California legislature seeks to require a warrant for all but the most urgent spying reports Cnet.
Introduced by Republican Assemblyman Jeff Gorell, the would-be law, known as the Unmanned Aircraft Systems bill, easily passed both houses of California's Democratic-majority legislature late last month. It is now awaiting Gov. Jerry Brown's signature. Brown has until the end of September to make a decision.
Although the bill addresses and permits many non-law enforcement uses by government agencies of drones -- which it refers to formally as "civil unmanned aircraft systems" -- the heart of the proposed law is geared toward ensuring that police obtain court-issued warrants before deploying the flying devices for most surveillance.
To many, that's key given that drones equipped with sophisticated camera equipment are increasingly able to hover quietly and for long periods of time at altitudes well below where helicopters, which police have long used for warrantless surveillance, can fly.
The legislation, AB 1327, would allow police free use of drones in "emergency situations" such as fires, hostage crises, chases, and search and rescue, as well as to help first responders, among other situations. But beyond that, the bill would require probable cause and a court-issued warrant.
"The [US] Federal Aviation Administration, by 2015, has been mandated by Congress to authorize drones to be integrated into our airspace, and so it's on our doorstep," said Sam Chung, Gorell's policy director. "Right around the corner, drones will be integrated into our airspace. So it's up to states to implement common sense privacy laws."
The FAA's mandate comes even as NASA has begun an effort to implement a traffic management program, much like that which oversees standard aircraft, for commercial drones.
Added Chung, "We wanted to put in privacy restrictions so the public is assured it's not going to be monitored" without a warrant.
For now, it's unclear what decision Brown will make. A spokesperson told CNET that the governor doesn't comment on pending legislation.
Moron Democrats, with the support of ball-less and spineless Republicans, joined together to effectively make all sex illegal.
In the mindless pandering for the votes of the Sheeple of California we will see endless numbers of men and women, gays and straights, accused of rape by jilted ex-lovers.
The California state senate unanimously approved a bill on Thursday that defines when “yes” means “yes” to sex.
Instead of “no means no” – the phrase commonly associated with sexual assault prevention – the law would require “affirmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement” by each party to engage in sexual activity.
If Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signs the bill into law – he has until the end of September – colleges and universities would have to adopt the so-called affirmative consent standard to continue receiving state funds for student financial aid reports the Washington Post.
The move comes as universities across the country are under pressure to improve how they handle sexual assault allegations. Several California colleges are on the Department of Education’s list of 55 institutions under investigation for allegedly mishandling sexual assault complaints.
The language of the bill is based on the recommendations of a White House student sexual assault task force.
Under the proposed standard, the fact that a person didn’t say “no” is no defense in a campus sexual assault investigation.
In addition to consenting up front, the bill requires affirmative consent to be “ongoing throughout the sexual activity,” meaning that sexual partners must agree to each step of a sexual encounter as it progresses and consent can be revoked at any time. The standard would apply to all sexual encounters regardless of whether the parties are having a one-night stand or are in a long-term relationship.
One thing the bill doesn’t say is that affirmative consent must be verbal. The bill’s original language warned “relying solely on nonverbal communication can lead to misunderstanding,” but that language was removed as was the requirement that consent be “unambiguous.”
Nonetheless, as Slate’s Amanda Hess pointed out, this fact was lost on commentators, some who lamented the standard would redefine most sex as rape and would require students to agree to a verbal or written contract before sex.
Students, too, were somewhat confused. “I feel like their hearts are in the right place, but the implementation is a little too excessive,” Henry Mu, a 24-year-old biology major at California State Long Beach told the Press-Telegram. “Are there guidelines? Are we supposed to check every five minutes?”

"What's going to happen when they have a drone that you can't ever [sic] hear is around, that can come into close radius?" protester Jamie Garcia told NBC. "What are they going to do with this data? They haven't told us," he added.
LOS ANGELES (CBS News LA) — Community activists Thursday held a rally at City Hall against the recent acquisition of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) – or drones – by the Los Angeles Police Department.
According to the LAPD, these small aircrafts can only stay in the air for about 20 minutes and would have limited use in certain circumstances, such as hostage situations.
KNX 1070’s Pete Demetriou reports about a dozen protesters with the Drone-Free LAPD/No Drones, LA! campaign staged a demonstration across from LAPD Headquarters downtown.
The group first called for limits on the use of drone technology by the LAPD in an Aug. 20 letter (PDF) addressed to Mayor Eric Garcetti.
Anti-drone press conference outside Democrat run LA City Hall
“We believe the acquisition of drones signify a giant step forward in the militarization of local law enforcement that is normalizing continued surveillance and violations of human rights of our communities,” said coalition spokesman Hamid Kahn.
The letter addressed to Garcetti referred to potential “mission creep” in using drone surveillance technology in partnership with programs such as the Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) program, which the group claims “has resulted in the openings of thousands of secret files on people engaging in perfectly innocent behavior.”
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Garcetti’s office responded to the letter.
KCAL9’s Randy Paige spoke with protestors outside of City Hall who said that they would make sure that their message, “Drone free, LAPD,” would be made clear to the mayor’s representative, who was summoned to hear their concerns.
“We don’t want the LAPD to use drones in Los Angeles in any capacity whatsoever,” said Xander Snyder of Restore the Fourth.
LAPD Spokesman Bruce Borhian said that the department aircrafts are still being held in a secure location by a federal agency and have a ways to go before being approved or deployed.
In May, the LAPD announced the acquisition of two DraganFlyer X6 Drones from the Seattle Police Department using federal grants.
Marching to a 1984 Police State While both parties are eagerly funding the insane drive to an authoritarian police state, in this case it is a Democrat run Los Angeles that is looking to spy on and record data about their citizens.
Beating the drum of insane environmentalism, the political Elites of California launch one attack after another against the common people for daring to have a wood fire at the beach.
Big Brother Government DEMANDS that you are only allowed to have "Government Approved" entertainment at your beach party. And don't you talk back to us, the NSA is recording your every conversation for thought crimes.
Newport Beach city officials this week are expected to consider a plan that would allow for a more so-called "environmentally friendly" Southern California beach tradition -- natural gas fire pits. Our Master have declared wood fires "evil" and they are to be crushed at all costs.
Sorry, natural gas fires are fucking boring . . . just what a Liberal would like. No fun.
City officials are considering putting into place new fire rings at the Balboa Pier area and Corona del Mar State Park.
The plan, expected to be considered at a meeting on Tuesday, is in response to an action taken this summer by the South Coast Air Quality Management District that restricts “open burning” at the beach to cut down on air pollution caused by smoke from burning wood reports NBC Los Angeles.
Among the AQMD’s moronic "findings" were that smoke from one fire is equivalent to three new diesel trucks or second-hand smoke from 800 cigarettes. The smoke from 30 fire rings equaled “an average large south coast refinery,” the AQMD said.
In 2012, the Newport Beach City Council voted to ask the California Coastal Commission for permission to remove all 60 wood-burning fire rings within the city limits, citing health concerns related to wood smoke.
The Commission postponed acting on the city’s request, but the AQMD adopted an amended rule about beach burning.
Neighboring Huntington Beach has also been grapping with the issue.
Proponents there have said the rings have been an important part of city culture for over 60 years and provide an affordable means to gather family along the shore to celebrate.
Obey Your Masters. Thou Shalt Not Have Fun at the Beach.
on all students. This neo-Fascist company plans to
be in 3,000 schools by December.
1984 is Here - The insane education industry claims they never, ever have enough money. But they appear to have lots of extra money to hire outside companies to conduct 1984 Police State spying on students in their homes.
Glendale Unified is using the firm Geo Listening in a bid against so-called "cyberbullying", suicides, drugs and other ills. Critics say it infringes on privacy and steps beyond schools' jurisdiction.
As for the dumb ass cyberbulling, anyone ever hear to the fucking delete button? or has society become so retarded that people want Big Brother to police our written words so no one is ever offended by anything?
The district last year hired Hermosa Beach-based Geo Listening to piece together the cyber tidbits of its 14,000 or so middle and high school students. The effort, for which the district is paying $40,500, is aimed at unearthing the earliest signs of bullying and self-harm.
The company's computers scour an untold number of public posts by students onblogs, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, for example. Analysts are alerted to terms that suggest suicidal thoughts, bullying, vandalism and even the use of obscenities, among other things. When they find posts they think should spur an intervention or anything that violates schools' student codes of conduct, the company alerts the campus reports Los Angeles Times.
While acknowledging some of the benefits, critics of the program contend that the monitoring could also have a chilling effect on students' free speech. And, they contend, it opens the possibility that students could be disciplined for comments made outside of school.
Students say the policing of their posts has stirred debate on campuses. Some are angry about what they see as an intrusion.
"They have a good purpose for what they're trying to do — stopping cyberbullying," Christopher Chung said. "Nobody really understands what it is about or what the main objectives are of the program."
The Glendale district began a pilot program to monitor students online last year at its three high schools, Glendale, Hoover and Crescenta Valley.
"We think it's been working very well," Sheehan said. "It's designed around student safety and making sure kids are protected."
The district does not provide a list of students to the company. Instead, it uses "deductive reasoning" to link public accounts to students, said Chris Frydrych, founder and chief executive of Geo Listening. He declined to be more specific.
Frydrych would not comment on how many school districts he has contracts with but said he expects the company to be monitoring about 3,000 schoolsworldwide by the end of the year.
Such programs must balance safe and supportive schools with student privacy and free speech, said Brendan Hamme, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California.
"But this program is sweeping and far afield of what is necessary to ensure student safety and intrudes deeply into students' privacy and conduct outside of school," he said.
The list of issues the company looks for is extensive. It includes:
controlled substances
self-harm
disruption of class or school activities
hazing
sexual harassment of peers or teachers
threats or acts of physical violence
use of fake identification
hate speech
racism
weapons
suicide or despair.
Daily reports to school administrators include a screen capture of the flagged posts, along with details of whether they were made on or off campus, the time and date, the user's name, if available, and a description of why the post caught the attention of analysts, Frydrych said.
It's up to administrators to decide whether the posts warrant action, Sheehan said.

Marxist Obama attacks Berkeley medical marijuana dispensary
Obama and Democrats at the Federal level try to steal the private property of legal businesses in California in the insane "war" on drugs.
BERKELEY -- Comrade Obama's Federal government filed a lawsuit targeting
the city's largest medical marijuana outlet and is aiming to seize the property
from its landlord.
The suit, filed May 2 in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, says Nahla
Droubi of Moraga, who is the landlord for Berkeley Patients Group, is breaking
federal drug laws by allowing the sale of marijuana and therefore is subject to
seizure of her property.
The suit comes after Berkeley Patients Group was forced to close its previous
location down the street on San Pablo Avenue last May when the landlord there
received a letter threatening seizure for the same reason. The letter also cited
the fact that it was too close to two nearby schools reports the Contra Costa Times.
It then moved down the street and reopened in December.
Sean Luse, chief operations officer for Berkeley Patients Group, which has
been doing business in the city since 1999, said he was surprised at the suit
because he did everything asked of him when he was forced to leave the last
location.
"We moved our previous location and moved 1,000 feet from any school, so
we're very surprised," Luse said.
The lawsuit against the Berkeley Patients Group landlord, in addition to citing federal drug laws, also mentions the proximity of two preschools in the neighborhood near the new location.
The War on Drugs with John Stossel
Luse said Berkeley Patients Group will join the lawsuit as a defendant and
stay in business as the saga unfolds.
"We look forward to our day in court," he said.
Last August, Droubi said she was not worried about having her property seized
when Berkeley Patients Group announced it would become her new tenant.
"Our property is not close to any school," she said at the time. "The
previous landlord had a very good experience with this group. He said they were
very organized and most important thing is they had no violations and great
security."
Droubi did not respond to calls seeking comment Tuesday afternoon, nor did a
spokesman for the U. S. attorney in San Francisco.
The lawsuit is similar to one filed last year against Harborside Health
Center in Oakland, the nation's largest medical marijuana dispensary. That
lawsuit has not yet been resolved.
Kris Hermes, spokesman for Americans for Safe Access which advocates for
medical marijuana with 50,000 members nationwide, said there have been about 20
dispensaries targeted in a similar fashion across California in the last couple
of years, but he did not know how many of the suits have been successful.
He said the U.S. attorney's office has sent hundreds of letters to landlords
threatening forfeiture "and hundreds have shut down as a result."
More recently he said a new round of threatening letters has recently gone to
landlords of dispensaries in San Francisco and San Jose.
"The Obama Administration has so far gotten away with claiming that they are
only targeting those in violation of state law," Hermes said. "Berkeley Patients
Group stands in direct contrast to that contention. It's patently false."

Porn film permits have dropped dramatically in L.A. County
The new "Condom
Police" Law will force the porn industry to re-locate out
of state or to Mexico.
Democrats drive yet more jobs out of the People's
Republic of California.
Film permits requested by the porn industry have all but ceased in Los
Angeles County as producers decide how to work around much opposed law that
requires actors to wear condoms during shoots.
Film LA, the non profit organization that processes permits for motion
picture, television and commercial production across Los Angeles, has seen
applications for permits from the adult film industry plummet to only two so far
this year.
In previous years, an estimated 500 film permits are requested by the
adult film industry annually reports the Contra Costa Times.
"Most production companies have ceased shooting in LA County," said Diane
Duke, chief executive officer of the Canoga-Park based Free Speech Coalition,
the trade organization for the adult film industry. "They have other options in
other states and communities."
In March, calls and inquiries from the adult film industry bombarded the city
of Camarillo asking if there was a condom ordinance there.
As a result, the City Council placed a moratorium on adult film shoots for 45
days until it could decide, possibly later this month, what it will and won't
allow.
"All I can say is a number of inquires led us to be concerned that we should
look at this and decide if this is something we want to do," Don Davis,
assistant city attorney for Camarillo, said of the adult film industry's sudden
interest.
The decline in film permit applications and the porn industry's interest in Camarillo is an example of the ripple effect of Measure
B, the ordinance that Los Angeles County voters passed in November that requires
actors involved in explicit shoots to wear condoms. The law also requires adult
film studios to apply for public health permits and for the county Department of
Public Health to lead inspection and enforcement efforts. Health permits need to
be attached to FilmLA applications.
As quickly as the ordinance passed, producers at many adult film studios
threatened to leave the San Fernando Valley, where most pornographic movies have
long been made, and, if possible, the state.
"Whether it's Camarillo or another California city that is in the news
because of Measure B, we strongly believe that the law is wrong, which is why we
are challenging it," said Steven Hirsch, founder and co-chairman of Universal
City-based Vivid Entertainment. Hirsch and others have said the industry is
watching and waiting for the outcome of a lawsuit filed by Vivid against Angeles
County. The suit calls Measure B unconstitutional, saying it violates actors'
rights to free speech and expression.
Arguments are set to begin next month in U.S. District Court.
"We now need the court to rule on our case," Hirsch said.
Stuart Waldman, president of the Valley Industry and Commerce Association,
said it's too early to tell if the industry is moving out. But the region will
feel an economic impact if studios and production companies leave. Waldman said
VICA was opposed to Measure B because it meant an estimated loss of 10,000
production jobs that the adult film industry attracts, including makeup,
lighting, carpentry, transportation, food service, payroll processing, Web
design and actors. The adult film industry has been estimated to generate
between $1 billion to $11 billion a year.
"I think the industry is still trying to figure out what it's doing," Waldman
said. "I think it's going to be a trickle effect, but one day we'll all ask,
where did all this money go?"
He said the industry likely wants to stay in Los Angeles because it already
has a built-in infrastructure and relationship with the San Fernando Valley. But
the law may eventually squeeze filmmakers out.
"At some point they would have to make the decision to move to another state,"
Waldman said. "I think it's coming."

Democrat Mayor Bob Filner hauls off a red-light camera warning sign
SHOCK - A Democrat Mayor makes an intelligent, common sense decision for freedom and against Big Brother
Anything is possible. Dog and cats could start living together. Pigs might even fly.
San Diego on Friday became the latest in a cadre of California cities turning their backs on red-light cameras — aloof intersection sentries that have prompted $490 tickets to be mailed to 20,000 motorists per year here.
Mayor Bob Filner announced his decision to take down the city’s 21 cameras at a news conference set at the most prolific intersection for the tickets, North Harbor Drive and West Grape Street, near San Diego International Airport.
A crew went to work immediately taking down “photo enforced” signs throughout the city reports the San Diego Union-Tribune.
“Seems to me that such a program can only be justified if there are demonstrable facts that prove that they raise the safety awareness and decrease accidents in our city,” Filner said of the cameras. “The data, in fact, does not really prove it.”
Bicycle and pedestrian groups immediately raised safety concerns about the end of the program. Still, Filner called it the San Diego version of a traffic trap, and said he would rather have the four officers who were reviewing the camera’s photos back on the streets interacting directly with motorists.
“It just seemed to me that the hostility toward them (the cameras) bred more disrespect for the law than respect for the law,” Filner said, adding that many members of the public felt the program was only about making the city money.
The mayor’s action followed through on a campaign promise made last fall in response to a question from The Watchdog, which surveyed candidates about the program.
