DATAMETREX $DM.ca IDENTIFIES CHINESE CAMPAIGNS TO MANIPULATE SOCIAL MEDIA SURROUNDING #COVID19

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:29 AM on Wednesday, April 1st, 2020
  • Work done for the United States Government clearly identifies attempts by Chinese authorities to create a divide amongst Americans on how the administration and Trump are handling #COVID19
  • Report can be viewed here: http://datametrex.com/investor/covid19-report.html

TORONTO, April 01, 2020 — Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) is pleased to share a summary of the work done for the United States Government and a link to the report which clearly identifies attempts by Chinese authorities to create a divide amongst Americans on how the administration and Trump are handling #COVID19. This work was commissioned by an agency for the United States Government and involved collecting and analyzing a massive amount of social media data.  

Datametrex examined millions of social media documents over the last month tracking Chinese involvement in the online discussions surrounding the COVID-19 and coronavirus. Datametrex found significant attempts by both Chinese authorities and news agencies to manipulate the media and shift the blame for the COVID-19 outbreak to the United States. Additional attempts at media manipulation and narrative shaping included attempts to frame dialogue from US President Trump as racist and show the Trump administration as an impediment to the worldwide recovery from the pandemic while framing Chinese President Xi as a strong leader on the world stage.

“We are thrilled to be working with the US Government on this very serious topic, this report goes to show that social media warfare goes beyond attempts to tamper with elections as we clearly identified during the Canadian Federal Elections. The Company is open for business in the US and we look forward to working with more government agencies and corporate clients on disinformation, propaganda, fake news in social media,” says Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company

#Covid19 fake news hacks its way onto government blockchain website – SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited $DM.ca

SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited (TSX-V: DM) A revenue generating small cap A.I. company that NATO and Canadian Defence are using to fight fake news & social media threats. The company announced three $1M contacts in Q3-2019. Click here for more info.

Covid-19 fake news hacks its way onto government blockchain website

By: Mariana López

  • On March 14, the government in Argentina disclosed that its system had effectively been hacked.
  • Perpetrator(s) uploaded false information regarding guidelines for public officials on handling the coronavirus (Covid-19) onto the country’s official bulletin website, which just so happens to use blockchain technology. 

As a result, officials took the site temporarily offline.

Correspondingly, another issuance will be necessary to disclaim the false statements posted on its 34,239 editions.

Have the blockchain gods forsaken the government of Buenos Aires? Not exactly. Blockchain isn’t bullet-proof.

Hacked! Why Argentina’s case is a big deal

Perhaps you’re wondering, “what’s the big deal? It’s just a bulletin.”

No, it’s not just a bulletin. 

Many countries have their own official bulletin or gazette wherein laws, notifications, or other big-deal, high-level government information is formally announced.

In Argentina, it’s known as the Boletín Oficial. Mexico’s is christiend the Diario Oficial de la Federación. In the US it’s called the Federal Register.

And the fact that something of such substantial importance in government communications was hacked is both alarming and interesting.

First off, blockchain-based systems are often hailed as more fool-proof to this type of manipulation. 

And that’s because each block within the chain is supposed to have its own unique cryptographic fingerprint and use what’s known as a “consensus protocol.” Through this protocol, the nodes on the network share and record transactional history. 

Thanks to these mechanisms, in theory, not just any outsider can show up and manipulate the data.

But with some creativity and determination, hackers can bust through blockchain’s apparently impenetrable defenses.

Secondly, everyone is well aware of how fake news can make its way onto social media. As a result, we’re consistently advised to only rely on official sources, like government websites, for more information on the pandemic. 

The hacking of a government outlet like Buenos Aires’ means that no source is 100 percent safe and fool-proof to being used as a platform to broadcast false statements.

That’s why we should make an effort to consult additional sources for more information. Especially for a topic as sensitive as healthcare.

And remember, if the government is hackable, so are you. So take the necessary precautions to protect your own data and systems.

No.  In fact, it has had the opposite effect, with the clinics being designated an essential service.  Moreover, Empower has had to actually increase operating hours.

Marijuana Survey Shows Boomers Embracing Cannabis & CBD According to Aging Expert, Lisa Cini

COLUMBUS, Ohio -With 9 in 10 Americans favoring legalization of Marijuana for recreation or medicinal purposes and New York weeks away from a decision, aging expert Lisa Cini shares details of marijuana and cannabidiol (CBD) usage among the 11,000+ boomers who responded to her marijuana survey and answered a variety of questions on marijuana consumption, opinion, and usage.

“It’s time to mainstream senior-friendly tools for using marijuana, and consider implications for designing seniors’ living spaces, or help those marijuana-using seniors living in multi-generational homes to partake in designated ways and areas as not to offend family members who don’t use, including children and grandchildren.”Tweet this

“I’m not surprised that 83% of the respondents are using some form of cannabis for recreational and medical reasons. 66% partake daily and believe that marijuana and/or CBD use is an important component of their lives,” says Lisa Cini, senior living expert and author of BOOM: The Baby Boomers Guide to Leveraging Technology, so that you can Preserve Your Independent Lifestyle & Thrive. “Don’t forget that much of the boomer generation grew up smoking weed. Some never stopped, resumed in retirement, or when they were no longer raising children. Because the aging process is unforgiving as it relates to pain, seniors are finding relief from achy bones and joints, arthritis, sleeplessness, and many other ailments, proving that there’s a great deal more to marijuana than just getting high, especially for those battling health and comfort challenges.”

Seniors are using weed in any number of ways, from smoking to baking and preparing full meals with cannabutter for many perceived health benefits including relief from insomnia, anxiety, chronic pain, depression, muscle tension, arthritis, and migraines in addition to getting high.

For those who desire CBD without THC, popular brands like vitafusion™ now offer gummy vitamins with full spectrum hemp extract and natural phytocannabinoids (225mg & 10mg CBD per gummy), Blissful Sleep with 5mg Melatonin (300mg with 10mg CBD per gummy) to induce sleep, and Chillaxed Mood with natural phytocannabinoids & 10mg L-Theanine (300 mg & 10mg CBD per gummy) to promote calm mental alertness, in contrast to the restless energy sometimes produced by caffeine. CBD creams and other skin care products are touted for anti-aging and appeal to boomers. CBD Anti-Aging Cream with Apple Stem Cells, was voted #1 Best Anti-Aging CBD Skin Cream in 2019 and for those with sensitive skin, Abinoid Botanicals Face Serum – Blue Chamomile & Hemp was voted #2 best hemp cream.

“Marijuana and CBD use is a reality that can no longer be ignored, as it’s very much a part of the daily lives of so many,” adds Cini. “It’s time to mainstream senior-friendly tools for using marijuana, and consider implications for designing seniors’ living spaces, or help those marijuana-using seniors living in multi-generational homes to partake in designated ways and areas as not to offend family members who don’t use, including children and grandchildren.”

Lisa Cini is an award-winning senior living designer, President / CEO, Mosaic Design Studio and author of BOOM: The Baby Boomers Guide to Leveraging Technology, so that you can Preserve Your Independent Lifestyle & Thrive, The Future is Here: Senior Living Re-imagined, and Hive, which describes her family’s four generations living under the same roof in her own home.

Cannabis Won’t Cure Coronavirus, but It Can Help Ease Certain Flu Symptoms

By Brianna Wheeler |

During a normal flu season, frequent weed smokers know the drill.

Pay closer attention to everyone’s cough patterns during a smoke sesh. Stop accepting mouth-wet blunts from strangers. And if you think you’re coming down with something, wave a lighter under the mouthpiece before passing the pipe.

This year, obviously, things are a bit more serious. We’re dealing with multiple citywide quarantines, global economic disruption, and a pandemic being compared to the damn Spanish flu. It’s enough to make self-respecting cannabis enthusiasts re-evaluate their medicine cabinet and diversify their stash box.

Obviously, there’s no dependable research on CBD’s or THC’s effect on COVID-19. But we do know a few things about cannabis and general wellness. Down the rabbit hole of alternative cannabinoids and non-psychoactive cannabis, there is a wealth of potential medicinal benefits both preventative and curative.

At least when it comes to the regular flu, CBD has been found to help support immune systems, ease symptoms, and replace over-the-counter pain relievers, sleep aids, and medicated salves currently taking up space in our medicine cabinet. But not just any CBD will do, and CBD alone won’t do it all.

Obviously, the best course of action right now is to keep vigorously washing your hands, mind your coughs, avoid large crowds, and be a bit more stingy with your pipes and joints. But if you find yourself slipping under the weather, for whatever reason, here are a few things to know about how cannabis might help ease symptoms.

CBD for Immune System Support

Tons more research is required to accurately map the relationship between the immune and endocannabinoid systems, but it’s well established that CBD helps reduce self-harming autoimmune and inflammatory responses. “CBD has been found to act as an immune system modulator,” says Anna Symonds, director of East Fork Cultivars’ CBD Certified program. “This means that it’s like a thermostat—it can turn the level of activity down or up, depending on the body’s needs.”

In September 2019, Empower announced it had entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to form a 50/50 ownership JV with Heritage for the extraction of hemp for CBD oil production, and formulated CBD products. The JV is equally funded by both parties and since formation CDN$250,000 has been provided to the JV.

Heritage and Empower are now advancing the JV with the order and installation of extraction and post-production equipment units at Empower’s existing licenced hemp processing facility in Sandy, Oregon, in order to immediately begin performing hemp-based product manufacturing for proprietary formulations, tolling services, and third-party white labelling services for other distributors throughout the United States.

The proprietary branded products will be distributed through Empower’s corporately owned physician staffed health clinics in Oregon and Arizona, online at www.sunvalleyhealth.com and in upcoming new franchise locations, which currently have access to over 165,000 patients.

Additionally, related downstream equipment is now being installed including gel cap processing, tincture bottle and vape cartridge filling, as well as labelling, packaging, storage and shipping services, to offer full-service end-to-end products to third parties.

Heritage is providing training and supervision related to the proprietary methods of extraction and oil production that is already being successfully produced in Canada by Heritage.

“Having the backing of an experienced partner with the financial strength of Heritage Cannabis is proving to be so beneficial for the development of our first extraction facility”, said Steven McAuley, Chief Executive Officer of Empower. “Together, we have already identified numerous opportunities to bring new orders to the JV facility, ensuring we leverage the capacity we are building.”
