The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2017…

Date: September 18, 2017

01) Wiretapping Sex Workers, Punishing Pre-Crime, and National Strategy to Stop Sex-Buyers Approved by Senate

“Introduced by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the bill (S.1312) gives the attorney general power to file a civil suit against anyone suspected of committing or planning to commit “any action that constitutes or will constitute” a violation of various federal statutes. If a court agrees, the person or entity would have to stop whatever activity allegedly contributed to a current or future crime.

This is power above that of normal police and criminal law proceedings. It could allow the feds to preemptively shut down websites, search engines, social apps, browsers, encryption services, or brick-and-mortar businesses because criminals (broadly defined) might communicate there.

…

But the bills’ upsides are few, squeezed as they are between the grotesque bureaucracy building and impositions on civil liberties.”

China Banning Non-Electric Cars…

01) China Banning Non-Electric Cars

---

“The Chinese Government has not said when the full ban on petrol and diesel car sales would take effect, but other countries like the UK and France aim to do it by about 2040.
The decision could see China, which makes and buys more cars than any other country, send shockwaves across the global auto manufacturing sector.
“The message would be out there, and all the other the manufacturers in the world that want to sell in China desperately will realise that the writing is on the wall,” industry analyst Gary Glazebrook said.
“[Petrol engine manufacturers] will essentially be crowded out or legislated out of the market unless they switch to electric cars.”
Professor Glazebook thinks China can implement the ban much sooner than European markets.
“The thing that has been holding it back up until now is the cost of electric cars and the fact that they didn’t have enough range,” he said.”*

“Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) fired back at President Trump for slamming his Medicare for all health-care bill as a curse,saying the bill was exactly what we should be doing.

No Mr. President, providing health care to every man, woman and child as a right is not a curse, it’s exactly what we should be doing, Sanders tweeted. What is a curse is your support for throwing 23 million off health insurance. That’s the curse and we won’t allow you to get away with it.

State Supreme Court Ruling Means Washington Teens Who Sext Could End Up Felons…

….	Date: September 17, 2017 01) Washington Kids Face Prison Over Dick Pics 02) State Supreme Court Ruling Means Washington Teens Who Sext Could End Up Felons “In a ruling issued today, the Washington State Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of a 17-year-old who sent a dick pic. The court found that state law allows him to be convicted for distributing child porn, even when the photo he sent was of himself. In an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, the ACLU of Washington, Columbia Legal Services, TeamChild, and the Juvenile Law Center argued that upholding the teen’s conviction is a “strained and erroneous interpretation” of child porn laws that “would jeopardize thousands of minors across the state by criminalizing increasingly common and normative adolescent behavior.” … The decision also “conflicts with what advances in adolescent behavioral and neuroscience research inform us: that such a punitive approach to behavior modification in juveniles is not effective in preventing future offenses.” Thanks, Enochian. A look at how the laws continue to spin out of control, and be used to inhumane ends in the war on sex. It’s worth reading…as there is a bit of decent sense expressed…Not nearly enough as this world needs, but enough to acknowledge. The individual case, itself, may have been prosecuted justly…provided his previous behavior [and conviction] is any indication, of a predatory nature in his motives. I agree, that sexually harassing people is a justified way to get yourself into trouble… …That type of behavior going on in society, is a large part of why so many sexual minorities are treated so badly…It’s part of why we are in the circumstances we find ourselves in. Isn’t it “lovely”, that we MAPs bare the burden of blame, for things we don’t even do ourselves?	….

Can science properly speak for/against the claim that supernatural forces influence our minds, actions and behaviors?

Musolino is author of the book, “The Soul Fallacy,” which dissects the “soul beyond science” claims so often promoted by religion and religious apologists. WEBSITE: http://julienmusolino.com/“	….
