In the following video a German judge named Manfred Kölsch denounces the Corona mitigation measures as wrongheaded and unconstitutional. To emphasize his opposition to them, he states that he is returning the Federal Cross of Merit, which was awarded to him some years ago.

The COVID news kept pouring in, even when Schloss Bodissey was without electricity earlier this week. Below are three news stories about Corona-related events that have accumulated in my inbox.
First, a report from Germany about the Corona-curfews. Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Die Welt:
Curfews remain — Federal Constitutional Court rejects urgent motions
The corona curfews remain in force for the time being. The Federal Constitutional Court rejects the urgent motions against the nocturnal exit restrictions. Whether the measure is compatible with the Basic Law will be examined in the main proceedings.
The Federal Constitutional Court has rejected urgent motions against night exit restrictions in the course of the “Corona emergency brake”. “This does not mean that the exit restriction is compatible with the Basic Law,” said the court in Karlsruhe on Wednesday. This question must be resolved in the main proceedings.
The First Senate justified its decision by stating that the consequences would be more serious if a stop were enacted now, but the curfew could later be declared constitutional. In addition, according to the current legal situation, the period of validity of the challenged regulation is relatively tightly limited. Nevertheless, the judges found that there was a dispute among experts as to whether the nocturnal exit restriction was suitable for achieving its goal. “It is scientifically controversial whether the nightly exit restriction is suitable for achieving its goal. Their lack of suitability is not evident,” it says in the communiqué.
However, the legislature has the prerogative to assess whether the regulation is suitable for achieving its goal. “Other means that guarantee an effective control of existing contact restrictions and a reduction in the infection rate just as effectively, but which interfere less intensively with fundamental rights, are not obvious.” The constitutional complaints are still pending. When the main issue will be decided is open. Several plaintiffs had requested that the court temporarily suspend the nocturnal exit restriction by way of an order (Az .: inter alia 1 BvR 781/21). Two weeks ago, the Bundestag passed the so-called “Federal Emergency Brake”. It has been in force since April 23 and for the first time mandates nationwide that numerous contact restrictions apply in cities and districts with an incidence value of 100 or more. With Germany-wide uniform regulations, politicians want to prevent a patchwork quilt in the federal states and get the spread of the corona virus under control. The curfew between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. was particularly controversial. During this time, people are only allowed to move in public for an important reason, for example because they go to or come from work or have to walk the dog. However, individuals are allowed to exercise until midnight. The curfew is intended to reduce contacts and the rate of infection.
The second article, from the conservative Austrian site Unzensuriert, describes the response by the Corona Competence Team to a quarantine-breaker in Vienna. Many thanks to Gary Fouse for the translation:
Police broke up numerous illegal lockdown-violating gatherings in Ontario and Ireland, and issued heavy fines against the participants. Meanwhile, Cyprus has decided to require a “Coronapass” for those who wish to visit churches, restaurants, and other public locations.
In other news, three people were killed when a black powder device exploded along the bank of the Illinois River near the Starved Rock State Park in northern Illinois.

Rosanna Spataro is the proprietress of a bakery (torteria) on the Via Orti in Chivasso, in the Italian province of Torino. Last month I posted a video of Ms. Spataro excoriating the police for their enforcement of coronavirus regulations against her business.
A few days ago the police arrived in force and shut this spirited lady’s bakery down. In the following video you’ll see Rosanna Spataro confronting the police officers for their shameful actions.

The real danger is not from the vaccines
by Eeyore
Perhaps the most discouraging thing about humanity is that the vast vast majority of us do not learn by hearing or even seeing first hand. But that a bad thing must happen to us directly before we change our minds.
[Tweet with video of Joe Rogan]
After watching that short Twitter video of Joe Rogan and listening to a bit of Dennis Prager, it occurs to me that the discussion about vaccine deaths in a way is a distraction from a far greater horror. While it’s true that in the short term these mRNA devices cause an order of magnitude more deaths and serious problems than any previous vaccine, the actual amount by percentage of recipients is extremely small and measured in single digits per million vaccinated. At least so far. No one knows medium- to long-term effects yet. (The trials won’t be finished till 2023 in some places, even if the FDA decides to jump protocols and give approval early to please the current admin. That is not real approval. That’s politics and corruption.)
But the real evil is in letting people die who could have been saved by Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc, Ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies and any of the other treatments that we have seen proven safe and effective. And all in order to maintain a state of emergency that ensures funding for an untested technology that makes Big Pharma hundreds of billions. This is not free market. A free market would let anyone say anything, and people who had a proven safe, cheap and effective treatment like Ivermectin, HCQ, and even Quercetin and Zinc and others I have forgotten already, would be on everyone’s screen.
This makes YouTube and Twitter and Facebook’s complicity in suppressing life-saving information under the cynical lie of medical misinformation, while allowing shamanistic or magical or new age “treatments or cures” for cancer and or anything else on their platforms, a crime on of a magnitude nearly impossible to comprehend.
This is a far bigger issue than the immediate deaths and serious illnesses because none of them may have been necessary at all had governments, clearly in league with Big Pharma, not silenced any knowledge of actual treatment that would have reduced deaths by at least 85% according to Dr. Peter McCullough.

Anyone who works for social media should consider the following:
As a follow-up to last night’s posted videos, here are all the cultural enrichment articles that have accumulated in my to-do folder over the last few days.
First, from PolitikStube, an op-ed by Alice Weidel of the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany). Many thanks to Hellequin GB for the translation:
Scandal judgment: Court invites all poverty migrants to Germany!
Alice Weidel: The Lower Saxony State Social Court has for all intents and purposes abolished the laws against the entry of migrants who are already registered in another EU member state. In a judgment it stated that those “refugees” who live in precarious conditions in an EU country may receive full social benefits in Germany. So for those who, in their opinion, receive too few social benefits in Italy, Spain or Greece, the court has opened wide the door to Germany.
The court also found that Germany’s interests in migration policy had to take a back seat. In other words, it has denied our state the right to control migration according to established criteria.
This verdict is a domino-effect scandal. Germany, whose social benefits acted like a magnet before, is now becoming a chosen migration destination even more often. In addition, there is family reunification, the conditions of which have now been eroded to such an extent that proof of kinship no longer has to be provided.
The legislature must finally act. Germany can no longer be seen as a richly-laid table for all those wishing to enter the country. Our resources are finite. Future generations will have to foot the bill for judgments like the one from Lower Saxony. The federal government must finally react and limit migration!
The second article is from Sweden. It reports on gang violence against a court trial by “youths” in a suburb north of Stockholm. Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Samhällsnytt:
Attunda district court attacked by masked gang members — Ongoing murder trial interrupted
May 6, 2021
A police-guarded murder trial in Attunda District Court north of Stockholm was exposed to a violent attack Thursday. Some twenty masked persons, armed with bomb-like pyrotechnics, attacked police.
At about 9 in the morning, a gang of upwards of twenty masked young men, linked to the criminal gang groups, X-Team, Bandidos, and Bredängs Network, attacked the court building in Attunda with powerful bomb-like pyrotechnic pieces, so-called bangers. These were also thrown at police who were brought in to guard the trial and at the reinforcements who arrived at the scene after the attack began.
About ten of those involved were taken into custody by police. It is not clear if they were subsequently held in detention or released on the spot. Only after lunchtime did the police gain control of the situation.
The gang-related trial, where four men are accused of planning murder at a children’s party, was earlier transferred from Södertörn District Court due to similar violent incidents with some eighty people involved.
The Attunda District Court specifically has a security room. However, even in the new courtrooms, proceedings cannot be conducted in legal order.
The main proceeding consists of several trial days, of which this was one.
The third article, from Germany, was translated by Hellequin GB:
Wicked! Family of asylum seekers required to leave the country — Muslim mother invented rape of her daughter (4) in daycare
Many rejected asylum seekers are not lacking in a wealth of ideas to prevent deportation or simply to ignore a voluntary departure. The trickery ranges from rioting, threats including biting and spitting attacks, inventions of illnesses (especially psychological ones) to threatening to leap from the roof. Lying, deceiving, playing for time and hoping it will pass and you can stay as intended.
An absolutely despicable case occurred in Koblenz last year. A family unsuccessfully applied for asylum and is obliged to leave the country. The last lifeline for staying in German paradise is a pitiful lie dished out by the Muslim mother that her daughter (4) was raped in the Kita [daycare].
The claim is fictitious, the victim is the only educator at the daycare center, his story of suffering ranges from criminal charges to death threats and illness to occupational disability. A life or professional life destroyed because of a perverse deception, that of alleged protection-seekers who are not even allowed to be here and who abuse the right of asylum to immigrate.
The family of asylum seekers seems to have disappeared in the meantime. They have nothing to fear, as no investigations have been initiated. Surely it can’t be that the Muslim mother will get away with it?
From Austria, a report on culture-enriching violence against women, translated by Gary Fouse:
On April 30 more than 130 Belgian venues opened simultaneously in defiance of lockdown rules as a protest against coronavirus restrictions. Meanwhile, French police broke up an illegal rave attended by hundreds of revelers in a Paris park.
In other news, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a former leader of the Tory Party that she believed there was Russian involvement in Brexit.

The recent power outages along with my getting a jab in the eye made me emulate Bill Clinton — I’m getting a little behind in my work. Numerous items have accumulated over the past three days, so I’m going collect them in groups based on their general topics.
There were so many cultural enrichment stories that I’ve divided them into two posts, one consisting of videos and the other of articles. One article that accompanies a video report will be posted here with all the videos.
The first video concerns a particularly gruesome murder that took place in the French city of Mérignac, near Bordeaux. The alleged perpetrator is an Algerian culture-enricher, if I am not mistaken. He is reported to have shot his wife and then burned her alive while she was rendered helpless by her wounds.

The accompanying article about the murder in Mérignac was translated by HeHa:
Mother burned alive in Mérignac had filed complaint against her companion who had just left prison
In the aftermath of the drama, astonishment and terror are still very much alive in this suburban quarter of Mérignac. A woman aged 31, the mother of three children, is dead in the middle of the street after being burned alive by her companion. He had just come out of prison.
May 5, 2021
There is incomprehension in this suburban quarter of quiet reputation in Mérignac. How could such a drama have happened? At 18:10 Tuesday evening, May 4, when the residents of Avenue Carnot heard cries and bangs.
“At first, we thought it was firecrackers,” says a local resident. “We thought the young people were having fun.”
But very quickly they realized the drama that was building up. According to the first elements, the 31-year-old woman manages to flee from the house, but she can’t go very far, followed by her armed companion in the street.
“We passed him. He passed in front of us with a shotgun and some cartridges. We called the police. In the meantime, he set fire to the house.”
According to the Bordeaux prosecutor’s office, “two witnesses saw her fall to the ground.” Her partner, armed, shot her once, then a second time. She was wounded in her thighs, lying on the street, but still breathing.
The 44-year-old individual, from whom she was officially separated, took a can from a van parked nearby, splashed his wife with a liquid, and set her on fire. The first responders could not save her. The family home, situated a few hundred meters from the scene, was discovered at the same time, partially burned and empty of occupants.
The perpetrator, who left the scene on foot, was arrested by the services of BAC, without any injuries to police, a short time later, at 18:45 in the proximity of Avenue Leon-Blum, in the municipality of Pessac.
The prosecutor confirmed that the subject was heavily armed, carrying a 12-gauge shotgun, a gas pistol, and a cartridge belt. After a preliminary investigation, it turns out that Mounir B. is unfavorably known to police and judicial authorities.
The most important holiday of the year for Progressives is May 1st, which Vlad calls the “commie Christmas”. May Day fell on Saturday this year, which made it doubly auspicious for the vanguard of the world revolution.
A crowd of Antifa activists, left-revolutionaries, and supporters of “Palestine” marched in Berlin last Saturday and engaged in their customary practice of sending police to the hospital. The report below shows some video excerpts from the goings-on.

Our Hungarian correspondent László sends this report on his recent personal experience with the Coronamadness in Budapest.
“We Have to Put Pressure on Him to Get the Jab” — Corona Fascism Overheard at a Budapest Company
by László
May 3, 2021
I knew that this must be going on behind the scenes at some companies, but after personally overhearing it am shaken to the core.
I had some business to do at a warehouse in Budapest today, and while I was sitting in a waiting room as a customer, I could not help but overhear what was going on in the adjacent room. A manager, speaking loudly and confidently, was holding a kind of meeting for a group of employees. It was the voice of a man, and he was talking to three or four women. It must have been some semi-informal company gathering or coffee break, and the part I overheard lasted about five minutes.
I could not hear every word clearly through the closed door, but here is the essence of what I caught and can remember:
After regurgitating a bunch of mainstream medical fallacies about the “dangerous epidemic” and how important it was for everyone in the society to get vaccinated, the manager, speaking in an eloquent manner, said that those who “do not care about the health of the majority” deserve to have some of their individual rights taken away from them for a while. “Those who do not want to get vaccinated,” he continued, endanger the lives of all others, and so these kinds of people should remain sitting at home. He added that he was already fed up with “those aggressive lunatics” who always argue and deny the facts of the pandemics. “I agree,” one employee answered. “I also know people who were completely normal before, but now they come up with these insane things.”
Then the manager went on to say that at the company there are only five or six employees left who have not been vaccinated yet. [I estimate that the company has some 30-40 employees altogether.] “But this has to change,” he added, because when everyone [of the staff] gets vaccinated and has the ‘vaccine passport’, this fact could be advertised. [Probably for gaining competitive advantage in the market, I guess.]
And now comes the interesting part: “I do not know what to do with him as he absolutely refuses to get vaccinated,” the boss said, referring to an employee who was not present at the meeting. “We will have to put pressure on him somehow.” [sic !] “But how?” asked one of the employees. “Well, for example with the mask: we have sat in the offices without masks so far; but now he will have to put the mask on,” answered the boss. “Wow, it’s a bit terrible that things like that have to be done,” replied an employee, “but of course I understand it, because otherwise it would be difficult to persuade people like him,” she added. “Indeed,” answered the manager. There is no other choice but somehow FORCE those who cannot understand [?] it.” [I could not hear the last part clearly. It went on for some more minutes before they left.]
Imagine the poor guy who is put under this kind of secretly planned pressure at his workplace to get him jabbed, while he is the only one who does not know what exactly is going on. It is a real plot. This is pure evil.
