Armed Gunmen Appear at Georgia Capitol on Monday — But it’s OK — They’re With Black Lives Matter
The Big Media is quick to label the events that occurred in Washington D.C. on January 6th as an armed insurrection, when it was not. But when BLM members bring AK 47’s to the Georgia Capitol, there’s no mention of guns.
The Big Media reported for months that the Capitol protests in Washington, D.C. on January 6th, included armed protesters but to date, there is no evidence of anyone being armed besides the Capitol Police there that day.

As Newsom Faces Recall, Calif. COVID Cases Suddenly Plummet; Indoor Bans Lifted
With the daunting prospect of a recall ahead, California Gov. Gavin Newsom appears to have seen the light on his controversial coronavirus lockdown orders and swiftly reversed course.
California will allow indoor concerts, theater performances and other private gatherings starting April 15 as officials claim the rate of people testing positive in the state is nearing a record low.
The decision is a sharp turnaround from the slow pace California has taken on lifting restrictions. Newsom urged people to continue being vigilant about wearing masks and maintaining social distancing.
[Comment: Hopefully the public will complete the recall process and oust Newsom.]

“Ephemeral experiences”: You might never have heard this phrase, but it’s a very important concept. These are brief experiences you have online in which content appears briefly and then disappears, leaving no trace. Those are the kinds of experiences we have been preserving in our election monitoring projects. You can’t see the search results that Google was showing you last month. They’re not stored anywhere, so they leave no paper trail for authorities to trace. Ephemeral experiences are, it turns out, quite a powerful tool of manipulation.
Are people at companies like Google aware of the power they have? Absolutely… In emails leaked from Google to the Wall Street Journal in 2018, one employee says to others, “How can we use ephemeral experiences to change people’s views about Trump’s travel ban?” There is that phrase, “ephemeral experiences.”
During a period of days before the 2020 election, we found that on Google’s home page, it was sending “go vote” reminders just to liberals. That’s a powerful ephemeral message, and not a single one went to conservatives. How do we know this? Because we were recording the content our 700 “field agents” were seeing on their computer screens. That was a diverse group of registered voters we had recruited in three key swing states. Google was sending those vote reminders only to liberals. That’s a powerful manipulation that’s entirely invisible to people — unless a group like ours has found a way to monitor what people are seeing.

BLM Protesters Leave Trail of Anti-Cop Graffiti After Manhattan Demonstration
Demonstrators demanding that the NYPD fire a cop accused of pulling out his gun during a Black Lives Matter protest in January left a trail of graffiti in Lower Manhattan on Saturday night.
The vandals scrawled “F—K THE PIGS” and “WE WANT ARTEM,” on the base of the “Triumph of the Human Spirit” sculpture in Foley Square, the department said in a statement.

Census Bureau: ‘Significant Increase in Homeschooling’ To 11.1% in Fall 2020
The U.S. Census Bureau reported in late March that 11.1 percent of K-12 students in the nation are now homeschooling, a significant jump from 5.4 percent when school closures went into effect in spring of 2020, and from the 3.3 percent of families who homeschooled prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
“The global COVID-19 pandemic has sparked new interest in homeschooling and the appeal of alternative school arrangements has suddenly exploded,” wrote Casey Eggleston and Jason Fields for the Census Bureau, which gathered data for an “experimental” Household Pulse Survey that measured the “social and economic impacts during the coronavirus pandemic.”

‘Consider it Done’: Netizens Back Trump’s Call to Boycott Baseball After MLB Withdraws From Georgia
Former US President Donald Trump has called for boycott of baseball in the United States after Major League Baseball (MLB) announced its decision to withdraw the All-Star Game and the draft from Georgia in protest against a newly adopted voting law. Trump, who was banned by several social networks following deadly Capitol protests, released a statement that was posted by the Right Side Broadcasting Network.
“Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans, and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter I.D., which is desperately needed, to have anything to do with our elections. Boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections. Are you listening Coke, Delta, and all!”,Trump wrote in a statement.
His announcement caused a stir on social media, with many netizens supporting the president.

Dr. McMcCullough then goes on to explain to this Texas Senate committee why this has happened, which readers of Health Impact News will know all too well already, and perhaps know even better than Dr. McCullough, since we can trace the “Plandemic” all the way back to 2019 and Event 201, and even earlier than that as the U.S. Government has had patents on Coronaviruses since the late 1990s.
I can tell you what happened.
What happened at around May, it became known that the virus was going to be amenable to a vaccine.
All efforts on treatment were dropped.
The National Institutes of Health actually had a multi-drug program.
They dropped it after 20 patients. They said “we can’t find the patients.”
The most disingenuous announcement of all time!
And then Warp Speed went full tilt for vaccine development, and there was a silencing of any information on treatment.
Any. Silencing. Scrubbed from Twitter, YouTube.
You can’t get papers published on this. We can’t even get information out in our own medical literature on this!
There’s been a complete scrubbing.
Watch the full testimony of Dr. Peter McCullough. What he covers in less than 20 minutes is truly amazing, and horrifying. We have it on our Bitchute channel, as well as on our Rumble channel.

While China, the World Health Organization and the mainstream media will continue to call the ‘Covid-19 is a Chinese bioweapon theory’ a ‘conspiracy theory’, we’ve gotten numerous new signs over the past several days alone that it IS being ‘used’ as a ‘weapon’, to take down national governments and help usher in the globalists ‘new world order one world government’, with the WHO now pushing an ‘International Pandemic Treaty’, which is nothing less than that next stepping stone towards world government and tyranny.
As Makia Freeman over at The Freedom Articles reports in this new story, back on March 30th, the WHO released a letter, signed by its director-general Tedros Ghebreyesus plus 23 other world leaders, calling for the world to unite behind a new international pandemic treaty.
With that letter purposefully using ‘vague general principles’ and ‘noble-sounding values’ in an attempt to entice humanity to support its quest for globalism and more centralization of power, as we’ve warned numerous times recently in stories on ANP, if we keep going down the same road that Joe Biden and Democrats now have us on, we may not even recognized America within another year.

The announcement was made on April 1st.

MLB said it was undemocratic.

Hawaii Unveils COVID Passports for Inter-Island Travel
Vaccination passports are being pitched as the new “golden ticket” in a dystopic post-COVID world if you want to travel — now that the recovery is on its way.
Countries in Europe are already requiring travelers to use vaccine passports — usually taking the form of certificates or digital cards of past COVID tests and vaccination history — an idea catching on in tourist nations like Thailand and the Caribbean. But also, much closer to home, Hawaii state officials are considering steps to implement vaccine passports for inter-island travel and likely one day require, to some degree, out of state travelers to have a health passport to revive the local economy that has sustained severe economic damage in its tourism and travel industry.
Local news KHON2 said state officials could soon roll out a health passport app that details vaccination history. Lt. Gov. Josh Green confirmed an app is in development called “First Vitals.” Officials have discouraged inter-island travel as the U.S.’s only archipelago state composed of eight islands in the North Pacific Ocean was forced to deal with a massive influx of travelers from outside the state during the pandemic. Many folks who flocked to Hawaii were escaping the pandemic or took advantage of cheap flights.
Like existing COVID passes issued by other countries, Hawaii’s vaccine passport will provide officials with a QR code to authenticate the users’ vaccination history.

Inventor of Test Used for COVID — Fauci is a Liar With an “Agenda”
Karry Mullis, a Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner for his invention of the PCR testing technique used worldwide for COVID-19, has not been a fan of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci for a long time.
In an interview that has resurfaced from the 1990s, Mullis railed against Fauci repeatedly, expressing numerous criticisms towards Anthony Fauci and his career. Mullis began by saying “he doesn’t know anything… about anything” and “doesn’t understand medicine [and] should not be in a position like he’s in.” Mullis died in 2019, months before the coronavirus pandemic began.
Mullis went on to attack both Fauci and federal employees of the administrative state in general when he said “they’ve got a personal kind of agenda… which is not what we would like them to have being that we pay for them to take care of our health” and finally that “they make up their own rules as they go, they change them they want to.”
Mullis targeted the senior bureaucrat directly, stating that “Tony Fauci does not mind going on television in front of the people who pay his salary and lying directly into the camera.” He then went on to explain institutions such as the University of South Carolina have offered to host a debate with him and Fauci live on stage, but Fauci never obliged.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) on Friday signed a bill that allows people to purchase and carry handguns in the state without a permit.
“Today I signed legislation that protects the 2nd Amendment rights of Iowa’s law-abiding citizens while still preventing the sale of firearms to criminals and other dangerous individuals,” Reynolds wrote in a statement.
“We will never be able to outlaw or prevent every single bad actor from getting a gun, but what we can do is ensure law-abiding citizens have full access to their constitutional rights while keeping Iowans safe,” she added.

Authored by Jonathan Turley
We have previously discussed the controversial history of Marc Elias, including allegations that he lied about the funding of Steele Dossier by the Clinton campaign. Elias has also been criticized for challenging elections when he and other Democratic lawyers denounced Republican challenges as a threat to democracy. Now, Elias (who is heading a new group called “Democracy Docket”) is again under intense criticism after a tweet that some have called inherently racist.
Democrats have used the recent Georgia election law as a rallying cry for federalizing elections by labelling the law, as described by President Biden, “Jim Crow on steroids.” Biden has been repeatedly called out for demonstrably false statements about the law. Elias has been arguing that the law is a barrier for black and minority voters. He is being denounced for a tweet where he suggested that Georgia voters could not be expected to be able to read their driver’s licenses correctly — a statement that seemed to refer to minority voters who would be disproportionately impacted by such a requirement.

During Isaiah Jones’ initial court hearing Sunday, prosecutors described the 76-year-old victim as his “step-great-grandmother” and said he spent much of his life living with her.
Bail was denied Sunday for a 20-year-old man who allegedly stabbed an elderly family member dozens of times using a “samurai knife,” leaving her dead inside her Bellwood home before making off with a phone and envelopes of cash.
Isaiah Jones was charged with first-degree murder in Thursday’s brutal slaying of 76-year-old Jearlean Willingham, according to authorities. During Jones’ initial court hearing Sunday, Assistant State’s Attorney Christina Darcopoulos described Willingham as his “step-great-grandmother” and said he spent much of his life living with her.
After attending Bible study on Wednesday, Willingham returned to her home in the 3800 block of Van Buren Street, where Jones was apparently staying, according to Darcopoulos and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Then early Thursday, Darcopoulos said Jones took what he later described as a “samurai knife” and repeatedly struck Willingham. She suffered at least 35 stab wounds, including some that pierced her heart and lungs and another that appeared to cut through her body…

New Study Finds AOC, Pelosi Rank Among Least Effective Democrats in Congress
The Center for Effective Lawmaking (CEL) recently published a study of legislative effectiveness in the 116th U.S. Congress, which ran from Jan. 3, 2019, to Jan. 3, 2021.
“We’ve found initial patterns that those more effective tend to be what we would call the workhorses rather than the show horses, and because of their policy focus, they’re less likely to be called upon by the media,” said Craig Volden, co-director of the CEL.
“We’ve kind of relatedly found that those who are called on by the media, that there tends to be more of an interest in talking about … politicking and personalities than there is in talking about policy and lawmaking.”
Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Gary Peters (D-MI) were ranked most effective Senators in their respective parties. Reps. Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Nita Lowey (D-NY) were the most effective of their respective parties in the House.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) are ranked No. 230 and 237, respectively, in legislative effectiveness out of 240 Democrats in the 116th U.S. Congress. Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN) came in the last place for the Democrats.

Op-Ed: ‘Woke’ Californians Now Looking to Prevent Conservatives From Being Hired as Police Officers
DJHJ Media reported that California State Assembly Member Ash Kalra, a Democrat, introduced Assembly Bill 655, the California Law Enforcement Accountability Reform Act, on Feb. 12.
Please read the proposed bill for yourself. It would require background checks for law enforcement applicants and disqualify them from employment if “an agency” determined that someone was affiliated with a group or used speech that the investigative body defined as “hate”:
“Existing law requires that a candidate for a peace officer position be of good moral character, as determined by a thorough background investigation.
“This bill would require that background investigation to include an inquiry into whether a candidate for specified peace officer positions has engaged in membership in a hate group, participation in hate group activities, or public expressions of hate, as those terms are defined.
“The bill would provide that certain findings would disqualify a person from employment.”
The bill does not define who is qualified to sit as a member of the “agency,” which would decide who gets hired and fired, but, presumably, wokeism would be a necessary qualification.
The bill includes definitions of “genocide,” “hate group,” “membership in a hate group” and “participation in hate group activities,” but the terms are so broad that virtually anyone could be labeled as hateful.

Standoff Shooting After Four Men Attempt to Steal Luxury Cars From Miami Beach Home: Police
A quiet, residential street in Miami Beach became the scene of a shooting and standoff after police say four men jumped over the gate of a home and attempted to steal four luxury cars.
Three of the men managed to steal two of the vehicles, a Porsche 911 and a Lamborghini Urus, but not before a security guard at the home shot one of the suspects sitting inside a Range Rover.
Miami Beach Police say the man inside the Range Rover refused to surrender to officers leading to a late night standoff. Eventually, he surrendered and was transported to the hospital in critical but stable condition…

Understanding Socialism, Communism and Marxism
There’s been a great deal of talk, recently, regarding the coming “Great Reset” and in conservative Christian circles, much talk about the “New World Order”and the coming “One World Government” that’s now moving ever closer to complete implementation under totalitarian rule.
This agenda has advanced quickly — more quickly than any of us would have ever imagined, under the “scam-demic” known as “COVID 19,” a well-orchestrated world-wide hysteria which was planned by Globalist elites in October of 2019 at a meeting called “Event 201.”Since I’ve discussed this at length many times previously, I won’t go into that here, but if you missed the information on Event 201, I urge you to research it for yourself. You can find a great deal of information on it on our website, WisconsinChristianNews.com, as well as countless other trusted alternative media sources. There’s no doubt this was pre-planned as a means to an end.
The destruction of our country — and all of the free world Western Civilization — has been in the planning stages for decades.But only in the past year have these evil plans advanced so rapidly, and so frighteningly.Here in America, it was ridiculously easy for our US Constitution to be thrown out, and have everyone submitting to unlawful edicts from government and health officials, literally overnight. One need only look around and see the vast, vast majority of citizens here submitting to face coverings, even though there is little to no talk now of the “pandemic,” even in the complicit mainstream media. In my area, cases of COVID are WELL below 0.002% — yet many stores, restaurants and all hospitals still require people to wear masks in order to enter. Those who don’t are treated as lepers, as “unclean,” filthy, plague-carrying peasants, ignorant “science deniers” and rebels.Shunned from society.Not welcome.

You Refuse to Get Vaccinated, But Are You Ready to be an Outcast?
This is flagrant indoctrination and yet no one talks about it. It’s shocking. Have you noticed how the critics of the mRNA vaccines have been prevented from expressing their views in the media? Have you noticed how the doctors, scientists, virologists, epidemiologists and public health experts have all been blocked from appearing on the cable news channels or excluded from the nation’s leading newspapers? Have you noticed how these critics been attacked on social media, censored on FaceBook and removed from Twitter? Have you noticed the lengths to which the media has gone to eliminate any challenge to the “official narrative” and to denounce, ridicule or blacklist anyone who dares to offer a conflicting opinion?
Why? Why is the media preventing these experts from articulating their reservations to the American people directly?
It’s obvious, isn’t it? It’s because the people that are managing this campaign don’t want anything that veers from the “official narrative”. They don’t want people thinking for themselves, they don’t want people searching alternate websites that challenge the new prevailing doctrine on vaccines, they don’t want people who read the details about the trials or the medical journals or the research papers. They don’t want you to question their motives, or weigh the risks and benefits of getting vaccinated. They don’t want you to notice that their vaccine never completed long-term trials or met the normal standards for product safety. They don’t want you to consider the fact that mRNA is a relatively new technology with a checkered past that includes some very disturbing animal trials in which all the animals died. They don’t want you to think about any of this. They want you to shut up, stand in line, turn off your brain, and roll up your sleeve. And, anyone who disagrees with that sentiment, is being censored…
And why have behavioral psychologists been employed by the government to promote the vaccination campaign? Why have they concocted a strategy designed “to change people’s beliefs and feelings about vaccination” to inform “people about the prosocial benefits of vaccination”, and to “intervene on behavior directly”, which means that you’re given an appointment, and told that you will be getting your vaccination at the end of the session.” Psychologists call this a “presumptive recommendation” which effectively eliminates the element of personal choice by creating a scenario in which getting vaccinated is a fait accompli. How is this not coercion?
It is coercion, subconscious coercion. The doctor is strong-arming the patient into getting vaccinated by making it look like its standard procedure. That puts pressure on the patient to follow the path of least resistance, which is compliance. It’s a clever tactic, but it is also transparently manipulative.
The behavioral psychologists who have helped to shape the government’s policy, believe that the emphasis should be placed on the “safety and effectiveness” of the vaccines. That’s the cornerstone for building public support. At the same time, they show no interest in providing evidence that would support their claims, which suggests that “safe and effective” is nothing more than a meaningless bromide that is invoked to dupe the sheeple into getting inoculated…
This is very scary stuff. Agents of the state now identify critics of the Covid vaccine as their mortal enemies. How did we get here? And how did we get to the point where the government is targeting people who don’t agree with them? This is way beyond Orwell. We have entered some creepy alternate universe.

Canadian Special Needs Student Booted From Program After Refusing Coronavirus Jab
An Ontario life skills center terminated the 24-year-old after he said he wouldn’t get the shot.
A 24-year-old Ontario student with special needs was “terminated” from his local life skills center after expressing his choice to the center’s owner that he would not be getting the COVID jab.
London, Ontario resident Elizabeth Fildey contacted LifeSiteNews about the ordeal surrounding her 24-year-old son Isaac, who has special needs, one of which is a developmental/intellectual disability.
Fildey said that on March 23, Isaac told her that the center’s CEO, Mary-Jane MacKenzie, was talking about COVID “vaccines” with students.
“Isaac told me that she (MacKenzie) said that they could not attend unless they have the vaccine, and wouldn’t be able to come anymore,” Fildey told LifeSiteNews.
“Isaac told her he didn’t want to get the vaccine, so she told him that if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be able to attend any longer.”

Under Bill C-10, streaming companies would have to provide more ‘Canadian content’ reflecting Canadian ‘values’ as is currently the requirement for traditional TV and radio stations.
During a Commons heritage committee meeting last week, the head of Canada’s broadcast regulator said the agency will “regulate all programming,” including the internet, via the passage of a controversial bill now before parliament.
“The Commission has looked, three times in total dating back 20 years, at whether or not it would be desirable or necessary to regulate content delivered over the internet,” said Ian Scott, CEO of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as reported by Blacklocks Reporter.
“In the past, the commission has concluded regulating it would not meaningfully contribute to the broadcasting system. Now the world has changed.”
Scott’s proposed internet regulation will include “all programming” of online video providers such as popular streaming services such as Disney+ and Netflix.

How Not to Cower Before the COVID Police
Visually, the video is simple but compelling. The church is on the second story of a building with a stairway leading directly from the front door up to the place where the congregation assembles. A masked female spokeswoman has climbed all the stairs. Behind her are seven police officers, in uniform, and all heavily armed with guns, cuffs, safety vests, and the ubiquitous and useless cheap paper masks.
The woman is trying to speak but there is a voice from behind the camera that thunders “Get out!” No matter what she says, he tells her some variation of “Out! And don’t come back unless you have a warrant.” The police stand quietly watching their spokeswoman as she is repeatedly prevented from saying her COVID shtick.

Ontario Ignores Effective COVID Interventions, Imposes Still Another Province-Wide ‘Shutdown’
Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who has caused mayhem and severe economic, social, and emotional stress on the province’s citizens as a result of misguided COVID-19 policies dictated by unelected health bureaucrats, announced yet another province-wide “shutdown” — the third in a year — that will be start 12:01 a.m. Saturday, April 3 and last for at least four weeks.
Ford stated, “We are facing a serious situation and drastic measures are required to contain the rapid spread of the virus, especially the new variants of concern.”
He added, “We must try and prevent more people from getting infected and overwhelming our hospitals. Our vaccine rollout is steadily increasing, and I encourage everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated. That is our best protection against this deadly virus.”
Christians note that this announcement once again comes just on the eve of one the most important of all Christian days of worship, Easter Sunday. Some are seeing this as deliberate anti-Christian discrimination, given the substantial limits that have been put on Church gatherings over the past year, compared to much greater priority given to stores and other facilities deemed “essential services.”
It is astoundingly insensitive that the premier would not wait just two more days, until just after Easter, to implement his “shutdown”…
There have been numerous concerns expressed by physicians and medical scientists around the world about the use of supposed rising numbers of “cases” to determine public health policies, especially during the months in between flu seasons. Cases are determined from test results, plus the number of persons exposed to positive-tested persons, plus the number of persons exhibiting COVID-like symptoms. Most of those symptoms are very similar to cold and flu symptoms, but now overwhelmingly tend to be automatically attributed to COVID infection.
Public health records have indicated that the flu has magically almost entirely disappeared over the past year. How convenient.

Ontario Education Minister Calls on Trudeau Gov’t for Plan to Vaccinate Students
Ontario’s Education Minister is calling on Canada’s Federal Government to “start a plan” as “quickly as possible” to have “children and students” vaccinated for the next school year.
“As Canada continues its vaccination efforts for adults, it is critical that we look ahead and apply lessons learned on the importance of forward planning for the procurement and distribution of vaccines for our students and children,” wrote Education Minister Stephen Lecce in a March 26 letter (read full letter here) addressed to three federal ministers, Ahmed Hussen, Patty Hajdu, and Anita Anand.
While Lecce did not explicitly state that receiving a COVID-19 vaccine would be mandatory for children to return to school, he did say that vaccinating “children and students as quickly as possible will help ensure that the next school year is as safe as possible and that our child care sector will be able to remain open.”

Police were volubly expelled from a Polish church in Alberta, Canada after disrupting an Easter service, with the pastor denouncing them as “Gestapo Nazi communist fascists” and “psychopaths”.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski ordered the six officers who descended on the Cave of Adullam Church out of the property in a video which he uploaded to Facebook, accusing them of “intimidating people in a church during the Passover” and saying “don’t you dare coming back here [sic]”.

AstraZeneca Jab is Killing People — the Media is Covering it Up
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has confirmed that seven people died from blood clots after receiving the Oxford/AstraZeneca covid vaccine.
The MHRA says that it is unclear whether the clotting is a genuine side-effect from the vaccine or a coincidence. According to the BBC:
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency says the benefits continue to outweigh any risk.
However, concern has led to other countries including Germany, France, the Netherlands and Canada to restrict the vaccine’s use only to older people.
The data, released by the MHRA on Friday, showed 22 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) which is a type of blood clot in the brain.
These were accompanied by low levels of platelets, which help form blood clots, in the body. The MHRA also found other clotting problems alongside low platelet levels in eight people.
Now the MHRA has confirmed, in an email to the BBC, that “sadly seven have died”.
There is a massive cover-up underway. BBC and SKY presenters are reading out press releases from the MHRA and AstraZeneca as if they are news. The media knows full well that the benefits of taking a vaccine do NOT outweigh the risks.

Brexit Protesters in Northern Ireland Set Cars Alight, Attack Police
Cars have been set alight, 20 police officers have been injured and masked people have pelted a police van with petrol bombs in further disorder in pro-British parts of Northern Ireland amid rising post-Brexit tensions in the region.
Many pro-British unionists fiercely oppose the new trade barriers introduced between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom as part of Britain’s departure from the EU and have warned that their unease could lead to violence.
Political leaders, including Britain’s Northern Ireland minister, had appealed for calm earlier on Saturday but police said they attended reports of disorder in Newtownabbey on the northern outskirts of Belfast.

Czechs Are the Most Pessimistic About the Pandemic in the EU
The Czechs are the most pessimistic nation in the European Union in their views on the development of the pandemic. Pessimism prevails in the states of the former Eastern bloc, while Sweden is the most optimistic.
For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, Czechs are the biggest pessimists in European comparison, the Eurostat data showed.
Every month, Brussels statistics measure the current mood of consumers and businesses and their expectations in the coming months. The average mood, where skepticism and optimism are in balance, is indicated by the value of 100 points. In the survey, which took place in mid-March, the Czechs gained 83.3 points, slightly less than Cyprus and Slovakia.
On the contrary, in six of the 27 countries, optimism is already prevalent that the pandemic will soon end. The Swedes have the best balance with a score of 106.7 points.

France is in an uproar over a television report about secret meals in luxury restaurants in breach of COVID-19 restrictions — and now the authorities have become involved.
The report by channel M6 shows, for one thing, a secret high-end restaurant in Paris open despite the coronavirus measures.
“I have eaten this week in two or three restaurants that are so-called illegal restaurants with a number of ministers,” a man introduced as an organiser of a secret party says in the report.

In a tactic to fool bleeding heart infidels.
Emilie Konig is a Muslim convert and jihadist, and is begging to be repatriated. It’s the same story repeatedly: dangerous jihadist brides of the Islamic State want to return “home” because their lives have turned into a living hell, due to the fallout of the dismantling of the Islamic State in the region.
Jihadist brides are as dangerous as their male counterparts. They do not actually view anywhere in the West as “home,” despite their past and histories in Western countries. They view the West as part of the House of War (Dar al Harb), to be conquered for Islam.

Illegal Party in Cardiff Leaves Welsh Parliament ‘Littered With Rubbish’
An illegal gathering held outside the Welsh Parliament in Cardiff Bay has left the area “littered with rubbish” after hundreds attended the party.
A spokesperson for Cardiff Council said clean-up teams had to clear “a significant amount of rubbish” that had been left behind “by large groups of people intent on breaking Covid-19restrictions”.
They said bins had been left unused and the ground was left “littered with rubbish”, meaning council staff had been on site since around 4:30am tidying up the mess.
Several hundred people were seen attending the illegal gathering outside the Senedd on Friday night.

This happened on the Beukenlaan in the municipality located in Noord-Brabant, where cycling activists blocked a roundabout, and others had chained themselves or climbed a tree.
According to the police, the activists did not have permission to demonstrate and they blocked a roundabout while cycling. After a few laps around the roundabout, officers asked them to stop. When they refused, about ten cyclists were arrested by order of Mayor John Jorritsma.

Police entered the sanctuary of a Catholic Church during a Good Friday service and threatened worshippers with a fine if they did not immediately leave.
Video footage taken from within Christ the King Polish Catholic Church in southwest London shows police officers following a priest into the sanctuary past altar servers, who were standing ready for the second part of the sacred liturgy, the Veneration of the Cross, as the celebrant looked on. An hour had already elapsed since the beginning of the solemn commemoration of the death of Christ. The liturgy was being livestreamed.

LONDON — British police said Sunday that 107 people were arrested in London during demonstrations against government plans to increase police powers.
Thousands marched in towns and cities across the country on Saturday to protest the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, defying coronavirus restrictions.
Police said the “Kill the Bill” protests were mostly peaceful and most of those taking part observed social distancing. They said a small number of people were intent on causing disruptions, and that those arrested committed alleged offenses including violent disorder, assaulting police officers and breaches of coronavirus legislation.
The force said 10 officers had been injured, though none of the injuries was believed to be serious.

“Only foreigners have the right to be Christians in Morocco. Moroccans still cannot set foot in a church,” said Fatima Laraki, a Catholic from Tangier who is aware of the danger faced by those who practice a religion other than Islam in Morocco. Like her, many Moroccans continue to live their Catholic faith clandestinely, in Tangier, Rabat, or Casablanca, reported El Confidential.
The Moroccan Constitution of 2011 recognizes freedom of worship, but only acknowledges the existence of Muslims or Moroccan Jews. Worse, article 220 of the Penal Code punishes anyone who attempts to convert a Muslim to another religion with up to three years in prison.

Social distancing restrictions enforced at protests by the Israel Police during the coronavirus pandemic are illegal, and fines given to protesters in that context are nullified, effective immediately, the High Court of Justice ruled Sunday.
The verdict follows several appeals made by Israeli civic organizations, including the Movement for Quality Government, the Ein Matzav Movement and the Association for Civil Rights in Israel against the coronavirus emergency bill that allowed restricting protests as part of efforts to limit the spread of the virus.
“The High Court has defended once again the freedom of protest and expression of Israel’s citizens, who are the very soul of the Israeli democracy,” said director of the Movement for Quality Government attorney Eliad Shraga.

But now, the creator of Russia’s COVID-19 Sputnik V said this shot can be altered using new “gene technology” to make it effective against the so-called variants.
All they have to do now is continue to panic the public over new variants and the slaves will willingly roll up their sleeves to have their genetic material altered. Again, this is just one piece of their agenda, but this “vaccine” is proving to be vital in their totalitarian enslavement of humanity.

Why Sikhs in Muslim Countries Are in Such an Absolute Horrifying Conditions
Attacked, abducted, discriminated against — and dying out.
Krishna Priya | FPM Online | New York | April 3, 2021:: Attempting to build alliances in their war against Hindutva, Islamists in India can now be seen wooing the Sikh community. However, the lesser-known chapters of history and the horrifying condition of Sikhs in Islamic countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan establish that those who are chasing the dream of bringing the world under the flag of their Islamic faith have no tolerance for people of any other religion.
Centuries ago, Islamic invaders in India martyred the revered Sikh gurus in unspeakable and disturbing ways. Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the fifth of the ten Sikh gurus, was executed by Jahangir in 1606 CE for refusing to embrace Islam.
Two generations later, the brave Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was arrested by Aurangzeb’s forces for confronting the religious persecution of Kashmiri Hindus by the Mughal emperor. His three associates, Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Dayal Das, and Bhai Sati Das, were jailed as well. They were tortured in prison and told to abandon their faith and accept Islam. But true to their commitment, withstanding all torments, they refused to convert. Frustrated with their determination, all three were executed by the Mughal administration. Bhai Mato Das was sawed into two halves, Bhai Dayal Das was boiled in a large iron pot, and Bhai Sati Das was rolled up in sheets of cotton and burned alive. Even these grotesque slaughters of his associates couldn’t move Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji from his convictions. Tired of this, Aurangzeb ordered his execution by beheading in public.
Students in India were denied knowledge of these crucial episodes in history. Instead, they were forced to study history crafted by leftist propagandists who dexterously crafted chapters venerating these Islamic invaders…

The signatories of the joint statement expressed support for WHO investigators for their “tireless work” but said the investigation was “significantly delayed and lacked access to complete, original data and samples.”

Border Patrol is So Overwhelmed That Nearly 1000 Migrants a Day Are Crossing Unpursued
U.S. Border Patrol agents are letting nearly 1,000 illegal aliens cross the border every day unpursued because they are focused on tending to the overwhelming number of unaccompanied minors and migrant families flooding holding centers, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials told the Washington Post on Friday.
Instead of focusing on the surging number of “got aways” crossing the border without being apprehended or tracked, border patrol agents are preoccupied tending to the record number of migrants in custody due to President Joe Biden’s refusal to send some illegal aliens back to their home country.
In March alone, approximately 160,000 illegal aliens including more than 18,000 unaccompanied teens and kids came under the care of border patrol agents manning overcrowded facilities. Even in February, Border Patrol Deputy Chief Raul Ortiz recently admitted that the “agency had recorded 1,000 got aways on a single day, describing that as an unusual event.”
“But since then, the figure has become a new normal,” the Washington Post noted.

For the third time in three years, Syrian migrants tried to flee Greece by pretending to be a sports team. According to the Spiegel news outlet, nine Syrians in Athens, disguised as members of a volleyball team with fake travel documents, tried to board a flight to Vienna. However, the police successfully stopped them.
Last year, the police detained 12 Syrians who pretended to be handball players and provided fake Bulgarian passports during a pre-flight check. They were also heading to Vienna.
In 2019, ten Syrian refugees dressed as volleyball players with stolen and forged passports were arrested at a Greek airport trying to leave the country.
As Greece is often the first country migrants reach in the European Union, the law requires them to remain there until their asylum applications are processed.

As my family was visiting Rome in February of 2020, we took a tour of the Colosseum only to discover a statue of Moloch, the pagan deity of child sacrifice, being displayed. It was truly shocking. The Colosseum is viewed by many Christians as a sacred site because early Christians were martyred there. Sacrifice and resurrection are what we celebrate on Easter.
But the devil is staging a counter-attack. On Good Friday, a Nation of Islam lunatic fanatic attacked the Capitol and died in a confrontation with police. He killed one officer and injured another. He believed, as Louis Farrakhan does, that white men are devils. He described Farrakhan as the Messiah and posted the statement, “The U.S. Government is the no.1 enemy of Black people!”
Exhibiting similar thinking, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the first black man to lead the Pentagon, vows to purge the “enemies within.” He leaves no doubt these are white people of a conservative persuasion.

“Czechs Are the Most Pessimistic About the Pandemic in the EU”
That may be because Czechs are pounded by covid propaganda 24/7, its in the newspapers, its in the radio, its on the TV – covid covid vaccines covid covid covid covid…
And can’t even travel from county to county. Bizarre. How come people are putting up with such abuse?
Life hasn’t become bad enough for people to throw away what comforts and security they have to confront those responsible. And lack of access to those responsible as well as no real clear targets make effective action difficult. Beating up a mask Karen in the grocery store might be satisfying until one gets thrown in prison, loses their job and property, and gets booted off of social media and out of banking and everything else needed to function in the dysfunctional society we inhabit. And at the end of it, that kind of individual act still doesn’t kick off the revolution needed to end this nonsense.
I know. But going without a mask in a mask state (US) is virtually risk free. At least at the moment. Yet the baaing of the sheep continues.
I find it strange myself: Especially those 50-60 year olds seem to be believing it – even though they grew up in communism and know all about Radio Yerevan, and Pravda Newspapers, they don’t seem to connect the dots to the fact that covid is a propaganda machine too. I wonder if it might be some of that Cambridge Analytica – AI learning – in there somewhere…?
