Rockland County New York Now Issuing $2,000 Per Day Fine For Anyone Who Refuses To Be Part Of Their COVID-19 Contact Tracing Surveillance

Officials in New York’s Rockland County recently got aggressive about COVID-19 contact tracing, issuing subpoenas to eight party-goers who refused to cooperate with tracking surveillance efforts.

Is anyone surprised at this? I certainly am not, the only surprising thing is that this model has not yet been adopted nationwide. Give it time, it will be. Wasn’t only as recently as April 10th that we were told that contact tracing would be voluntary? Yep, it sure was., right up to the moment when it wasn’t. Of course, just like the telephone tax used to fund the Spanish-American War in 1893, don’t expect it to go away anytime soon. What you can expect is hefty fines for non-compliance like what we are now seeing in New York.

Long before the Jews were physically sent to concentration camps, they were marked with a yellow star before being segregated into ghettos. That’s how it works, it’s a process that takes place over time, but rest assured that slow, steady arc will complete its mission. COVID made be the excuse they are using to force contact tracing surveillance, but you can bet the farm on the fact that it will quickly be applied to all sorts of other areas that have nothing to do with coronavirus. Enjoy the article below from Forbes extolling the virtues of fining people $2,000 per day for not taking part in contact tracing surveillance tracking.

$2,000 A Day Fine For Obstructing Coronavirus Contact Tracing

FROM FORBES: If the eight had failed to comply, they would have been subject to fines of $2,000 per day; however, within 24 hours, all eight acquiesced, signaling that the threat of a monetary fine may be an effective health policy tool to mitigate the spread of coronavirus.

100 Person Gathering In Rockland County:

As reported by The New York Times, a party in Rockland County, NY in mid-June attracted a crowd of 100 people, in violation of a state ordinance that capped gathers at 10 people. After the party’s host and eight guests tested positive, Rockland officials launched a vigorous contact tracing effort to identify others who may have been exposed. They quickly hit a road-bump as several of the party-goers obstructed the efforts.

“My staff has been told that a person does not wish to, or have to, speak to my disease investigators,” Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert, the county’s health commissioner, was quoted in the Times. Of the individuals her team tried to contact, Dr. Schnabel said, “they hang up. They deny being at the party even though we have their names from another party attendee.”

Rockland County Subpoenas and Potential Fines:

Instead of tolerating the party-goers selfish refusal to cooperate, Rockland County upped the ante, issuing subpoenas. “Those who did not comply and share what they knew by the following day would face fines of $2,000 a day,” according to Rockland officials.

The subpoena and financial warning worked as all eight individuals who had received a subpoena started cooperating with the county Health Department. “I will not allow the health of our county to be compromised because of ignorance, stupidity or obstinance, or anything else,” Ed Day, a Rockland County executive, said.

Contact Tracing Is Essential:

Contact tracing is one of the few tools that public health officials have in their arsenal to fight coronavirus outbreaks until a vaccine is safely developed.

“A role of government is to protect individuals and their families as well as health care workers and other essential workers,” wrote Dr. Tom Frieden, who headed up the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during the Obama administration and oversaw responses to H1N1, Ebola, and Zika, and Dr. Kelly Henning, the director of public health at Bloomberg Philanthropies and a former professor of infectious disease at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “The hard, skilled work of contact tracing is akin to hurricane warnings: People are alerted so they can protect themselves and their families. . .we need to play the hand we’ve been dealt as well as we possibly can to save lives, reduce spread and help restore our economy.”

Sadly, New York City and other places that have embraced contact tracing, have struggled with its execution. In New York, less than half of city residents who had tested positive or were presumed positive provided information to contact tracers. In Massachusetts, only 60 percent were responding and in Louisiana, fewer than 50 percent were answering.

“What we lived through. . . is [the] equivalent of a forest fire,” Andy Slavitt told PBS Newshour host, Judy Woodruff. “What we have to do is to prevent forest fires from breaking out, so we can catch things when they’re little campfires. And in order to do that, we have to have the ability to surround the outbreak as it happens, so it doesn’t spread into community again.”

Adopt Rockland County’s Approach:

The rest of the country should adopt Rockland County’s model. Contact tracing is so crucial to containing outbreaks, that it shouldn’t be left up to the whims of individuals. The Covid-19 pandemic proves how health and wealth are tightly integrated. Economic recovery depends on being able to control the outbreak of Covid-19 and currently, the U.S is failing miserably. “The virus drives the economics,” said Betsey Stevenson, who served on President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers and is now a professor at the University of Michigan. If Covid-cases keep rising, “we’re not going to have people going back to work,” she added.

Up until now, most coronavirus prevention efforts, including quarantines and contact tracing, have only been loosely enforced. When you have imbeciles in Alabama throwing Covid parties to see who can get infected first and selfish vacationers in the Ozarks crowding pools without masks, we need to wake up to the fact that voluntary efforts are inadequate.

Individual rights have limits. Just like one cannot yell fire in a crowded movie theater and one’s right to throw a punch ends where another’s nose begins, we need to rethink the balance of individual rights and community obligation. If individuals aren’t willing to take rational and basic steps to mitigate the spread, the government must mandate action and ramp up enforcement.

Conclusion:

Rockland County’s subpoena and threat of a $2,000 fine worked well. The rest of the country should adopt equal measures. American lives depend on it. READ MORE

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Donald Trump Had An Easy Slam-Dunk With The Epstein Files Yet Chose To Cover It Up, What Is He Hiding From MAGA And Why?

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Donald Trump committed an unforced error when he should have had an easy grand-slam home run, why is he covering up the truth about Jeffrey Epstein?

Years after his apparent suicide in a Manhattan federal lockup, the notorious sex offender and financial manipulator Jeffrey Epstein has returned from the dead to haunt Donald Trump and instigate a massive rupture in Trump’s government and MAGA movement. The very bad handling of the Epstein files is totally an unforced error, the question is why did Trump do it? He is desperately trying to make it go away, but the harder he tries, the messier it gets. MAGA is mad, very mad, as they should be. That’s the memo.

“Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;” Nahum 3:1 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, for President Donald Trump, exposing the files on Jeffrey Epstein should have been a super-easy, no-brainer, foregone conclusion resulting in a “promises made, promises kept” victory lap around the Oval Office. This is why we voted for Trump, right? He will expose the Deep State when no one else will. As it turns out, Trump has no interest in doing anything like that, and is really mad that so many of his MAGA followers won’t stop talking about it. Over on Truth Social, the president had this to say “We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”  Yikes, spoken like someone who has something to hide, and on today’s Podcast, we show you just how deep this strange and unnecessary rabbit hole goes.

The apostle Paul commands us to follow him and shows us how to think of the Jews and Israel according to God’s plan for them

There is a great confusion in American Christianity today, one that threatens to tear it self apart at the seams. Many professing Christians have no idea how God views the Jews and Israel, and no clue as to His redemptive plan for them. We who believe are called, commanded, to follow the apostle Paul as he follows Jesus. My message today will give you a good idea of what exactly that means, and the costs associated with answering that call. Preached live this morning at the Bible Believers Church inside the NTEB Bookstore. Services every Sunday morning starting at 11:00 AM in Palatka, Florida.

For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever.

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

Conspiracy Theory

Season 3 Of ’24’ With Counter-Terrorist Hero Jack Bauer Turns Out To Be A Treasure Trove Of Predictive Programming About Trump Twin Presidencies

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Season 3 of quarter-century old television hit ’24’ contains incredible predictive programming references to Donald Trump’s first and second terms

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, a television show called ’24’ was launched, and in it main character Jack Bauer leads a counter-terrorism Federal agency called CTU to deal with evolving threats against the United States and its people. ’24’ debuted in the ashes of the fallen Twin Towers, before Facebook and social media, before smart phones and before streaming programming from Netflix and Hulu. In short, ’24’ is a dinosaur that’s now nearly a quarter-century old, and yet inexplicably contains stunning predictive programming that directly foreshadows Donald Trump’s first and second presidencies.

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:” Isaiah 46:10 (KJB)

The first two seasons of ’24’ are pretty good, and here we are introduced to the iconic character of Jack Bauer played by Kiefer Sutherland, but it’s in Season 3 that our story today is centered around.

  • In Chinatown in Los Angeles, we see shadowy figures who have a biological weapon.
  • That weapon is called the Cordilla virus.
  • The Cordilla virus is released in the Chandler Plaza Hotel  which is then put on lockdown.
  • The terrorist who has the virus in a phone call to CTU says he is doing it to ‘Make America Clean Again’.
  • Fictional president David Palmer is forced to do what the bioterrorists are making him do.

So let’s see if I have this right. A man-made Cordilla virus is released from Chinatown which triggers a lockdown and escalating body count. The fictional Chandler Plaza Hotel is an obvious reference to the Trump Plaza Hotel in New York City. It was in the first Trump presidency that we were subjected to the COVID virus released from a lab in China that put the world on lockdown, a lockdown initiated by Donald Trump. The man who is releasing the virus says he wants to ‘make America clean again’ in Day 3 between the hours of 7:00am – 8:00am. In April of this year, President Trump hosted the Make America Clean Again Gala at Mar-a-Lago. Oh, one more thing, throughout the entire season, fictional President Palmer is being forced to carry out the will of the bioterrorist who has the Cordilla virus. The president is not calling the shots, is not in charge, just like Trump is not calling the shots right now.

Predictive Programming is an amazing thing, presenting you with ‘coincidences’ that are simply to amazing to believe, yet there they are. David Rockefeller back in 1991 thanked the main stream media for attending his Bilderberg meetings for  40 years, and for conspiring to never write about anything they saw or heard until the Deep State foundations could be put in place. Donald Trump in his second term is carrying out that agenda that has been in place since the aftermath of WWII. Everything we are watching now with Trump and the Epstein client list scandal has all been preplanned and prearranged.
