Poland: Second COVID-19 Wave Not Showing Up in Unemployment Statistics

According to Statistics Poland (GUS), the unemployment rate in October was 6.1 percent, which means it did not change since September or even June 2020.

Despite the serious issues faced by companies due to the coronavirus crisis, the job market seems to be very stable.

It is also important to note that unemployment has grown by only 0.7 percent since March, when it was at its lowest in 2020. This means that the increase in number of registered unemployed was only 110,000.

“The Fraud Was Executed by Many Means”: Sidney Powell “Releases Kraken” With Dual Lawsuits in Michigan, Georgia

Sidney Powell has finally released the Kraken — filing two lawsuits in Michigan and Georgia late Wednesday alleging massive schemes to rig the election for Joe Biden.

In Georgia, Powell claims in a 104-page complaint filed in the US District Court in Atlanta that the purpose of the scheme was “illegally and fraudulently manipulating the vote count to make certain the election of Joe Biden as president of the United States.”

“Old-fashioned ballot-stuffing” has been “amplified and rendered virtually invisible by computer software created and run by domestic and foreign actors for that very purpose,” the suit continues, adding that “Mathematical and statistical anomalies rising to the level of impossibilities, as shown by affidavits of multiple witnesses, documentation, and expert testimony evince this scheme across the state of Georgia.”

Another Democrat Caught Violating His Own COVID Rules

The Democratic Mayor of Denver was caught violating his own COVID travel ordinance, getting on a plane to see family just 30 minutes after decreeing that people should not travel to visit their own relatives.

After saying that families should only engage in limited get togethers, just as his will be doing, Biden stated that “We still have months of this battle ahead of us.”

“More testing. We’ll find people with cases and get them away from one another, slowing the number of infections. More protective gear for businesses and our schools,” Biden said.

Breathwork Helps Tame Stress, Benefits Your Mind and Body

Breathing is universal, habitual and nearly always automatic. However, you do have choices about the way you breathe — fast or slow, shallow or deep. This can send messages to your body that affect your blood pressure, immune function, mood and stress level.

For instance, when you get stressed, your breathing pattern and rate change, often resulting in more chest breathing in response to a fight-or-flight situation. This is triggered by the autonomic nervous system. What’s interesting about the function of breathing is that it’s both a voluntary and involuntary process.

This means that your body breathes automatically, but you also can consciously control your breathing, which is one strategy that has proven effective in reducing physiological stress markers and increasing feelings of calm.

So, simply by changing the way you breathe, you influence your health. This is a strategy taught most frequently in the practice of yoga. Breathing consciously, maintaining awareness and intent on the function, is called breathwork. Yogis have used this technique for centuries as a tool for healing and to relieve physical, mental and emotional stress.

Corey Booker is Introducing South African Style Land Confiscation Bill to Give Land to “Black Farmers”

Will South African style land transfer legislation be coming to the United States?

An American nationalist by the name of Michael Lewis reached out to the Red Elephants to raise awareness about legislation being introduced by U.S. Senator Cory Booker that would set up a race-based land grant system inside of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. On November 19, 2020 Booker released a statement about the bill titled The Justice for Black Farmers Act that plans to establish The Equitable Land Access Service system. This land redistribution system would be led by an Under Secretary of Agriculture for Equitable Land Access.

This is a land redistribution scheme, plan and simple. A federal agency would be tasked with purchasing billions of dollars in private land annually on the American taxpayer’s dime. And to add insult to injury, that land would then be given exclusively to people based on their race.

Walt Disney Co. is planning to lay off 32,000 employees as lockdowns continue to keep theme parks shuttered.

Many of the cuts will come from its theme parks. Its California park, Disneyland, has been closed since pandemic lockdowns began in March.

The company originally announced 28,000 jobs cuts in September.

Disney also said it may take additional measures, such as not declaring future dividends and cutting company contribution to pension and postretirement medical plans.

‘Kraken’ Lawsuit Accuses Iran of ‘Monitoring and Manipulating’ 2020 Election, Stoking Deep Dive by Journalist

An interesting thread has popped up on Twitter in the wake of attorney Sidney Powell’s recently filed lawsuits alleging widespread election fraud in Michigan and Georgia (‘the Kraken’) — which claims in part that China and Iran monitored and manipulated elections, “including the most recent US general election in 2020.”

Journalist and Iran expert Heshmat Alavi, who describes himself as a “political activist and supporter for regime change in Iran,” has compiled a lengthy exposé in response to this claim, and brings readers down the rabbit hole regarding Iran’s penetration into US politics.

The thread is heavy on media, so it will be embedded in its entirety.

More than 100,000 Americans linked to nursing homes and long-term care facilities have now died due to COVID-19, according to a recent report.

Elderly people are particularly vulnerable to the highly-contagious virus, making assisted-living facilities and retirement centers particularly at risk. It is estimated that of the 260,000 U.S. coronavirus deaths recorded by Johns Hopkins University, long-term care facilities account for 40% of them.

Powell Files Georgia Lawsuit Over Voter Fraud, Dominion, Only 12,000 Votes Needed to Overturn Election

In the lawsuit, Powell makes claims similar to those the Trump campaign made today in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania: Votes were mishandled, election observers were kept from watching mail-in votes being counted, and fake ballots were potentially used to push Joe Biden over the edge of victory.

The lawsuit also notes, as National File reporter Jack Hadfield noted, that previous Georgia lawsuits have established that “The Georgia Supreme Court has made clear that Plaintiffs need not show how the voters would have voted if their ballots had been regular… [only] that were were enough irregular ballots to place in doubt the result,” which would mean only 12,000 votes in the Georgia presidential race.

“You have neoconservatives on the right who want to intervene for geopolitical reasons, but then you have liberals, like Blinken and Samantha Power and others, who want to intervene for ‘humanitarian’ reasons,” Paul added.

Supreme Court Overturns Pandemic Restrictions on Religious Gatherings in New York

In a 5-4 ruling late Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked attendance restrictions on houses of worship imposed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The restrictions, set by Cuomo on October 6, color coded areas in New York City experiencing high rates of positive COVID-19 tests. Religious services in “red” areas were capped at 10 people, with less affected areas being capped at 25 people.

The high court sided with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and two Orthodox Jewish congregations that said the restrictions were a violation of the First Amendment.

The Left’s Plan for 2020 Election Violence

After months of civil unrest — which includes aggravated assaults, looting of businesses, arson, cop-killings and crime — the anarchists and professional-protesters have witnessed police departments taking little, if any, action to curb the tide of crime committed by the Antifa and other groups.

That alone has emboldened these so-called protesters to create havoc in the United States.

The anarchists plan is described in a document from the political group, the Transition Integrity Project. They released an ostensibly bi-partisan report, “Preventing a Disrupted Presidential Election.”…

In September, Judicial Watch’s investigative team leader Chris Farrell examined “The Militant Left’s Plan to Disrupt the 2020 Presidential Election.” It is disturbing reading.

The main takeaway from the Judicial Watch special report? This is not simply the thinking of a group of nutty left-wing academics and activists, but a document straight from the center of the Democratic Party.

According to Canada Free Press, the figure at the heart of the Transition Integrity Project is John Podesta, the senior strategist for the Democratic Party. Podesta was a top aide to presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, founder of the influential liberal think tank, the Center for American Pro gress, and chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. For the electoral “war games” mapped out in the TIP report, Podesta played Joe Biden.

“TIP is a collection of professional Democratic operatives and Republican ‘Never Trumpers,’“ the Judicial Watch report notes. “Organizers and leaders include Georgetown law professor Rosa Brooks, Nils Gilman of the ‘independent’ Berggruen Institute in California,” and Podesta. Anti-Trump Republican s in the group include Michael Steele, David Frum, and Bill Kristol.

Judicial Watch’s disturbing conclusion? The publication of the TIP report “is an information warfare strategy employed for revolutionary political purposes.”

These RINOs Are Democrats Who Want Trump Gone

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Rep. Francis Rooney (R-FL), Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL), Rep. Paul Mitchell (R-MI), Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), Rep. John Curtis (R-UT), Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA), another state which I believe Trump actually won, Rep. W ill Hurd (R-TX) and Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY).

All of them are conveniently ignoring these glaring facts: Because the turn out for Trump was so massive, this is what it did for the Republican Party: Republicans now control redistricting coming next year by a margin of 27 states. Devastating for the Democrat/Communist Party USA. If they bothe red to pay attention, the evidence of vote fraud is overwhelming. Second, Trump as a candidate has every right to contest the election — just like Gore.

The bottom line is all those RINOs have kicked their party’s leader in the gut. They should all do their constituents a favor and come out — register as a Democrat because you’re all now naked as a pig in a sty.

Not one of them believe in fair and honest elections. It took 37 days to resolve the Bush/Gore race. Support for Gore never wavered. It’s now been 23 days since America watched the greatest heist (next to the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913) ever perpetrated on the American people: the stea ling of an election.

Last week, Sen. Tom Cotton said show us the evidence not press conferences. The purpose of the press conference was (1) a show of power and unity, and (2) to give Americans an overview of the legal war underway. Signed, sworn affidavits under penalty of perjury was discussed by Sidney Powell. Th ey are evidence admitted in a court of law.

Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Jenna Ellis, Victoria Toensing, Joseph diGenova and all the other lawyers working on this steal are working under enormous pressure because of the time clock. I doubt many are getting much sleep, but they are fighting back. They are all very good at what they do and I bel ieve the courts at all levels are prepared to deal with this constitutional crisis.

Video: Crowd Gasps at PA Hearing After Learning of 600k Vote Dump for Biden, Just 3k for Trump

“Normally you would expect to see a smooth curve going up. Not any big spikes… so that big spike that occurs there is a prime indicator of fraudulent voting.”

Video footage from Wednesday’s Pennsylvania State Legislature Hearing on Election Irregularities shows the crowd reacting in audible shock after learning about the bizarre reported spike of over half a million votes for Democrat Joe Biden, compared to barely a few thousand for President Donald Trum p, that led to the pro-Biden media calling Pennsylvania for the former Vice President.

“Normally you would expect to see a smooth curve going up,” a witness told Trump campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani. “Not any big spikes… so that big spike that occurs there is a prime indicator of fraudulent voting.”

“And when you look at this entire curve, with all these spikes, can you you calculate how much of a vote that accounted for for Biden, and how much for Trump?” Giuliani asked.

“Close to 600,000, I think our figures were like 570 some odd thousand that all those spikes represented over time,” the witness stated.

Austrian Government Steps Up Protection of Churches After Vienna Attack in Run-Up to Christmas

Austria has begun tightening security at its churches and other sites of religious worship, fearing copycat attacks after an Islamist gunman killed four people in a rampage earlier this month in the capital Vienna.

The attacker may have also intended to target houses of worship, Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said on Thursday.

“It cannot be ruled out that the perpetrator also wanted to deliberately seek out victims in churches,” Nehammer told reporters, citing the investigation’s findings. “There will therefore be a reinforced protection of church facilities as of today.”

Currently, there is no concrete threat against places of worship, but the minister explained that security is being tightened against possible copycat attacks in the “sensitive phase” of the run-up to Christmas.

EU Threatens to Walk Out of Brexit Talks Unless Britain Accepts Brussels’ Demands

Brexit deal talks are over if Britain will not give in to the European Union’s demands, Brussels’ top man is claimed to have told UK negotiators, as the clock runs down in the final weeks until Britain is expected to finally and fully leave the bloc.

While talks between the European power bloc and its erstwhile member have dragged on for years, they have been fundamentally hobbled from day one by the simple fact that both sides want outcomes so radically different; anything approaching accommodation would ultimately be a betrayal to their own interests.

Four More Students Charged in France Over Teacher’s Beheading

Four teenage students have been charged in France over the killing of Samuel Paty, including three for allegedly pointing out the teacher to his murderer, a judical source said Thursday.

Three other pupils were charged with complicity earlier this month over the beheading last month of Paty, who had shown his students cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed as part of a lesson on free speech.

Paty’s murder sparked a torrent of outrage that prompted President Emmanuel Macron to crack down on Islamist extremism and violence in a country reeling from a wave of jihadist attacks since 2015 that have killed more than 250 people.

Orban, Morawiecki Meet Today in Budapest as Battle With EU Rages on Over Rule of Law

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is traveling to Budapest today to coordinate the two countries’ next steps in the row with the European Union, national news agency MTI reports.

The EU’s two biggest financial commitments came to a standstill after Poland and Hungary — in a move later also backed by Slovenia — vetoed the EU budget on account that the European Commission and the European Council wanting to bring back rule of law criteria for the distribution of EU funds, a mechanism that was already put aside at the July EU summit. This means that as of now, the EU’s seven-year budget of €1.1 trillion for the 2021-2027 period and the €750 billion coronavirus recovery package are both on hold.

Of the two, the recovery package is the biggest issue, as it cannot move forward absent the agreement of all 27 member states while the shaky economies of the two biggest southern recipient member states, Italy and Spain, sorely need the funds. In the absence of a new budget seven-year budget, the EU will automatically use the previous year’s figures. While that will keep the EU running, the new budget had made some major changes such as a more flexible approach to funding, and higher budget allocation dedicated to fight climate change and increasing spending on healthcare.

UK Govt: Lockdown Likely to Last 12+ Months, ‘Hard Winter’ Coming, Repeated Vaccinations May be Required

Lockdowns won’t end until anticipated vaccines “come to our aid” in the future and the country can expect a “hard winter”, the Prime Minister has said, as the government’s science advisor warned it is quite possible the coronavirus will simply mutate to outperform vaccinations.

Speaking at the Downing Street press conference hours after the details of the new post-lockdown-lockdown were revealed to the country, Prime Minister Boris Johnson made clear to the nation that there was no reasonable hope of lockdown ending soon, saying merely that there was “reason to hope” that spring would see an end of “this era of restrictions”.

Islamists May be Responsible for Czech Soldier Who Died in Sinai Helicopter Crash, Says President Zeman

Czech President Milos Zeman said that the helicopter crash in the Sinai bordering Egypt and Israeli, in which a Czech soldier died, could have been caused by Islamists who might have shot the helicopter down. Zeman is calling for a thorough investigation of the case after previous information referred to the helicopter crash as an accident.

“I’m not entirely sure if it was an accident because Islamic radicals are operating in the Sinai Peninsula, and it is possible that they shot the helicopter down,” said Zeman on Tuesday.

The president made the remarks while speaking about the fact that he does not consider Russia or China to be the enemy, but instead viewed world terrorism as the biggest threat, especially following a spate of recent Islamic terror attacks in France and Austria.

Google, Facebook and Twitter Threaten to Leave Pakistan Over Crackdown on Speech Offensive to Islam

The Asia Internet Coalition — which includes Google, Facebook and Twitter — is threatening to pull out of Pakistan because of new rules that would have a significant impact upon the freedom of expression. How bitterly ironic. The global tech giants, long established as enemies of the freedom of expression, are now facing the same pressures with which they have tormented users in America (and other Western countries).

Social media companies or Internet service providers will face up to $3,140,000 in fines “for failure to curb the sharing of content deemed to be defamatory of Islam,” among other “offences.” So while they were protecting Islam in the West, they, too, have now come up against the Sharia, and this enrages them to the extent that they now want to leave Pakistan.

Tensions Rise Over Housing of Migrants on Spanish Islands

BARCELONA, Spain — A row over where to house African migrants increasingly arriving by boat on Spain’s Canary Islands deepened Thursday, when the mayor of the most affected town urged the Spanish government to transfer them out of local hotels.

Saying Trans Women Aren’t Women Could Soon be a Crime in Scotland, Depending on How it’s Said
