The Conservative Cave

A Biden-appointed federal judge - who quit her previous job as partner at the Jones Day law firm because they did work for the 1st Trump administration - just ruled against the administration's plan to create a database to verify citizenship to be able to vote in US elections.

Judge Sparkle Sooknanan ruled on Monday that officials across several government agencies "haphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable," in order to comply with the Trump administration's attempts to implement election integrity measures.

A March executive order directed the Social Security Administration (SSA) to create a “State Citizenship List” derived from its data, naturalization records and the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, an existing database maintained by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that is used to determine eligibility for federal programs.

That “black pill moment” is arriving faster than many realize. Not primarily through sweeping new government mandates, but through private companies quietly normalizing biometric data collection under the banners of “security,” “fraud prevention,” and “child protection.” They are erecting the infrastructure for a world where you cannot easily participate in daily life, commerce, or even basic online access without surrendering your face, your license scan, or other biometrics. Once the systems exist and the data flows, laws can simply ratify what private actors have already made routine.

In a recent commentary “Digital ID Black Pill Moment”, I highlighted a sobering reality: 186 out of 198 countries already have digital ID systems in place. Only a shrinking handful of nations lack foundational national digital IDs. As I wrote, “the global push for digital IDs is far advanced, likely past the point of no return, aligning with the UN’s 2030 goal of universal legal identity and enabling a globalist digital currency system that could control access to everything.” [1]

Facebook/Meta: Selfie or Stay Locked Out

Government mandates are not required to finish building the digital surveillance prison. Citizens are willingly submitting their biometrics to access social media sites. For example, I am no longer on Facebook. They banned me during the Covid era after I began sharing information about the true contents of the shots and alternative treatments. A friend just sent me a Facebook post and I could not view it without taking a selfie and sending it to FB. No way was I going to comply.

An unidentified shooter or shooters, one of whom died during an exchange of gunfire with police, murdered at least one officer and a local resident in an attack in a Jewish neighborhood of Montreal, Canada.

Arutz Sheva (7INN) reported Monday that a shootout in the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood, near a Chabad House and a kosher supermarket, was deadly. At least three people are dead, including a police officer and a shooter. The shooter also injured a second officer, and it was initially unclear whether she would survive. A later report from the CBC stated that she was in critical but stable condition. The latest update , as of around 3:30 p.m. Eastern time, reportedly identifies the civilian victim as Montreal resident Michael Moshe Mizrahi.

Chabad's emissary to Montreal, Rabbi Chaim Shlomo Cohen, spoke with Ynet and confirmed, "The shooting was at a building that is close to the Chabad House — from the hotel they fired at another building. One shooter was caught, and the other is apparently still being sought."

Despite the danger to the Chabad House as a potential target if the shooter or shooters were antisemitic terrorists, police did evacuate people from nearby hotels to the Chabad House. "There are a hundred of us here, the volunteers and the people who were brought here. I was sitting in my office, and suddenly the police came in, said that it was forbidden to leave the building, and evacuated people from hotels to us. We are fine," Shlomo said.
