Hungarian Court: The Vax Pass is Non-Discriminatory

The Hungarian Constitutional Court has ruled that the country’s vaccine passport — called a “certificate of immunity” — is non-discriminatory. Which doesn’t make any sense — if the vax pass really is non-discriminatory, it’s a totally useless document.

But of course it’s discriminatory: it distinguishes between those who have been “vaccinated” and those who haven’t, and confers special rights and privileges on the former group while disadvantaging the latter. That’s the exact definition of discrimination.

The real issue is whether or not the vax pass violates the Hungarian Constitution. I don’t understand Hungarian, so I can’t comment on that aspect of the case. I’ll have to defer to the Constitutional Court on the issue.

Is the immunity card discriminatory? The Constitutional Court has ruled

In a decision published on Tuesday, the Constitutional Court unanimously rejected the constitutional complaints challenging the constitutionality of the government decree regulating the immunity card. According to the petitioners, the regulation causes a lasting and serious violation of fundamental rights for those who do not have an immunity card. However, the constitutional judges held that the provisions at issue did not infringe the prohibition of discrimination.

In recent months, almost a thousand constitutional complaints have been lodged with the Constitutional Court, asking for the annulment of certain provisions of Decree No 484/2020 (XI. 10.) on the second phase of protection measures to be applied in times of emergency, relating to the protection card.

According to previous information from the Constitutional Court, the vast majority of the constitutional complaints had the same wording and the cases were divided into several groups on this basis. The five-member chamber, chaired by Miklós Juhász and composed of Ágnes Czine, Attila Horváth, Imre Juhász and Tamás Sulyok, President of the Constitutional Court, grouped the petitions with similar or identical content under case number IV/1093/2021.

As previously reported, the petitioners challenged before the Constitutional Court the provisions of Government Decree No 484/2020 which grant additional rights to holders of the official certificate of immunity (the “Certificate of Immunity”) provided for in Government Decree No 60/2021 (12.2.21) on the certificate of immunity against the coronavirus, compared with persons who do not hold such a certificate.

In the applicants’ view, the contested provisions of the Decree discriminated against those who, on the basis of their decisions taken on the basis of health risks, did not hold an immunity certificate, thereby causing serious violations of their fundamental rights.

According to the applicants, the discrimination was not based on necessary, proportionate and reasonable constitutional grounds, in particular the fact that an immunity certificate issued prior to the establishment of immunity under the vaccination protocol does not guarantee the effective establishment of immunity even for those who can prove their immunity under the Government Decree.

The decision of the five-member panel of the Constitutional Court, whose rapporteur was Miklós Juhász, held that the exercise of certain fundamental rights may be suspended or restricted beyond the limits set by the Fundamental Law in times of emergency.

Make Room! Make Room!

Now that the latest wave of Afghan “refugees” has reached Germany, there is an urgent need for new accommodations at migrant reception facilities.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from PolitikStube:

Also in Baden-Württemberg: All initial reception facilities are jam-packed

Not only in Brandenburg and Saxony, but also in Baden-Württemberg, the initial reception facilities are fully occupied. Those who offer the best social benefits also get the most care-seekers, although there may not be a need for help when the trip to Germoney leads through umpteen safe third countries, some of which are handsomely rewarded. This asylum package tourism is likely to intensify with the new red-green government and the yellow appendage, at least until the pressure-cooker lid blows up.

Zeit online:

The initial reception facilities are fully booked, said CDU Migration State Secretary Siegfried Lorek to the Heilbronner Voice and the Südkurier (Saturday). “We urgently need more space.” He assumes that the Corona restrictions in the asylum accommodation will last longer because the people arriving there are usually not vaccinated.

The number of refugees has recently increased significantly again. According to Lorek, a total of 9,170 asylum seekers came to Baden-Württemberg in the first three quarters of 2021. Most of the refugees currently come from Syria and Afghanistan because of the political tensions.

According to Lorek, the country wants to expand its initial reception capacity by around 800 additional places this year. “Our goal is to create around 800 new initial reception places across the country this year,” he told the newspapers. In the long term, 400 new places should be created in Freiburg, and 1,650 new places should be added at several locations in Karlsruhe.

The Stiffs Keep Piling Up

In the following RAIR Foundation video, a British undertaker named John O’Looney is interviewed by Vlad Tepes about the increased number of corpses — he says by 300% — that have passed through his establishment since “vaccination” began last winter.

Mr. O’Looney has strong opinions about the vax, and is unstinted in giving voice to them. He presents anecdotal data, rather than statistics, but it’s still worth paying attention to what he has to say:

A Reminder: We Will Not Comply

In a time of universal vaccine mandates, non-compliance is a revolutionary act.*

The landing craft is now bumping through the raging surf, and will shortly be ejecting us onto our very own Omaha Beach.

Yes, we are in the midst of a war. There are no non-combatants.

Looking at it from one angle, everyone who has been “vaccinated” has already surrendered and been taken prisoner. The rest of us — the ones who have refused, sometimes known as “purebloods” — are now being intensively targeted in a renewed offensive by the enemy. There are very few unjabbed people left who can be easily coerced into getting the vax, so we can expect the next phase of the war to become particularly nasty.

There has never been a conflict like this one, at least not in my lifetime.

As I have said repeatedly in the past, we are in the midst of an information war that has been going on for decades. Here in the glorious Year of Our Lord 2021 it’s still an information war, but over the last two years it has opened a new front in our bodies — under the skin, in the bloodstream, in the brain. This is unprecedented. Nothing like it has ever been seen before.

Eventually the Powers That Be will probably devise a way to insert the new nano-hardware and -software into us without our knowing it, but for the time being they still require our consent in order to get the needle into our arms.

They have persuaded, cajoled, bribed, threatened, and fooled just about everyone that they can. The remnant of unvaxed people are going to have to be coerced into being “dutiful”. Telling us that we’re murdering Grandma is simply not going to be enough.

No traditional method remains by which we might win this war. It’s become abundantly clear that voting is no help. Nor is writing letters to our elected representatives. The federal government has the means to ruin our lives, and it has made it abundantly clear that it won’t hesitate to do so. It has already rolled out some pretty big guns against us, and is holding some even bigger ones in reserve.

Armed citizens are able to resist to a certain extent, but the government has the means to ruin the lives of an isolated person and his family, even if they are armed. They can bust your [fundament] and cart you off in the big black armored vehicle to rot in solitary indefinitely.

Constitution? What’s a “constitution”? Never heard of it.

Being armed can work when enough armed people gather in solidarity with one another and act collectively. However, when the group becomes large enough, it gets infiltrated by federal informants and provocateurs, and gets rolled up by the government, as I have discussed in previous essays.

This can only begin to change when a large enough number of people have nothing left to lose. And the government is, of course, creating exactly those conditions with its latest heavy-handed repressive measures designed to force people to allow themselves to be injected with an experimental mRNA medical treatment. Those who resist and lose their jobs and become unemployable, who get evicted or have the bank foreclose on their homes, become people who have nothing left to lose.

This is why we lowly foot soldiers in the war need to wield the only weapon we have left, which is to say en masse: WE WILL NOT COMPLY.

It takes an ornery person to resist the kind of pressure we’re currently under. I consider myself ornery, but I’m under no illusions about how hard this may well become. I’ll see how long I can hold out.

The government is still holding its most fearsome weapons in reserve. It may well cut off Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security for citizens who refuse the vax. We may eventually be required to show a vax pass to enter federal state, and local government buildings, or health care facilities, or pharmacies, or even grocery stores. Banks and credit card companies may shut down the accounts of people who can’t prove they’ve been “vaccinated”.

We may be reduced to scavenging for scraps in dumpsters. Except, of course, peace officers will be stationed in the vicinity of all dumpsters to check our QR codes before we are allowed near the garbage.

All to keep us “safe”, mind you.

The Smuggling of Migrants Through Belarus

In previous years it was Lampedusa, the Italian island not far from the coast of North Africa, that was the preferred destination for “refugees” who wanted access to the European Union, especially Germany. In 2021, however, the focus has been on Belarus, which has been encouraging migrants to come to Minsk and cross the border into Poland or Lithuania as a geopolitical move against the EU.

To count the illegals?

Belarus-Poland route: police union calls for border controls

The Federal Police Union warns of a “collapse” on the German-Polish border, and calls for the introduction of temporary border controls with Poland. Why controls? Controls to count the illegal arrivals and then to drive them to the initial reception center? With the magic word “asylum” the admission ticket is legitimized, as a rule, he is allowed to stay and is not deported, despite missing or incomplete papers.

Epoch Times:

The Federal Police Union demands the introduction of “temporary border controls with Poland”. This is what Bild wrote in its Monday edition, citing a letter from the deputy union leader Heinz Teggert to Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU). It deals with illegal migration via Belarus and Poland to Germany.

In the letter of October 15, it says: “For several months the number of apprehensions has been increasing almost explosively.” The number of findings of unauthorized entries at the border with Poland corresponds “currently to the number of findings from 2013 on the Austrian border.”

Only with the introduction of temporary border controls could the federal government “prevent” a “collapse” at the borders, as happened in 2015. According to this, Polish authorities may literally “wave through” migrants, since they consider it “better” if asylum applications are submitted in Germany or Western Europe than in Lithuania or Poland.

According to Bild in the letter, Teggert also admitted that the “overall problem” could not be solved even through temporary border controls. The fact was that the Belarusian “dictator Alexander Lukashenko was reacting to EU sanctions with state-organized smuggling.” Europe should not get involved in such “games”, warned Teggert.

Fake News, Fake Interpreters, Fake Refugees

It seems that just about every more-or-less secular Afghani has stood up, raised his hand, and said, “I, too, was an interpreter for the Bundeswehr!”

At least that’s the way it looks as the Afghan “refugees” pour into Germany, aided and encouraged by various factions of the German government.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Tichys Einblick:

Fake local staff!

An Afghan unpacks: Good contacts brought me to Germany

In Brandenburg it turned out that more than half of the evacuated Afghans were not German local workers. The reception centers were bathed in the sloppy politics of Berlin. At the same time, unbelievable stories came to light and were silently swept under the carpet

Brandenburg remains a target country in several ways. Not only do hundreds of irregular migrants arrive at the Polish border every day, the Berlin-Brandenburg airport also regularly brings more “visitors” into the country, also from safe transit and countries of origin such as Turkey or Greece. Everyone is currently backing up in the Brandenburg asylum system, whose employees are unlikely to have any breathing space.

In addition, as early as August some of the “local staff” from Afghanistan and their relatives, who had initially landed in Frankfurt am Main, were distributed to the federal states by buses. All in all, 266 Afghans came to Brandenburg this way. Now it turns out that only 25 of them had actually been local government employees in Afghanistan. That was the result of the examination by the Brandenburg immigration authorities. A total of 91 relatives had entered the country. This in turn means that more than half of those flown in were neither local workers nor some of their family members — even though the federal government has expanded its definition of local workers more and more in recent weeks. The term ‘local force’, which has now become politically contaminated, has been obscured more and more in the past few weeks, filled with new content, and meaningless.

Residue-free removal of one’s own work

Strictly speaking, “local staff” are to be understood as the employees of the Bundeswehr during an assignment abroad. To this day, the Ministry of Defense insists that local staff can only be those who “worked for a department on the basis of an employment contract”. For the Bundeswehr, a spokesman for the Bundeswehr Operations Command told TE , this means that around 1,300 people worked for the Bundeswehr during the entire twenty years of the Afghanistan mission. That’s a relatively limited number, and not all of them — maybe only half — would be eligible under today’s rules.

However, not all ministries are so strict about evacuation. It was the Foreign Office under Heiko Maas that expanded the term local staff to include “people from the fields of science, politics, judiciary, NGOs, culture and the media” and thus completely devalued it. If it’s up to the Foreign Office and the accommodating Ministry of the Interior, tens of thousands of Afghans now have a right to humanitarian protection in Germany. In the end, this endless expansion serves only one goal: the most complete possible relocation of the new Afghan intelligentsia to Germany. But what have you been committed to for twenty years, only to remove the results of your own work today with practically no residue? Shouldn’t one rather advertise that parts of the former “civil society” keep their place under the Taliban and thus ensure a somewhat pluralistic Afghanistan? Can’t we at least expect this much heroism from the champions of the Western way of life in Central Asia?

Operation Barbarossa Redux?

The peculiar article below concerns the German military’s bid to acquire extremely detailed maps of Russia — why in the world would they need such data…?

Hellequin GB, who translated the piece, includes this skeptical note:

If this isn’t just a hoax, I seriously wonder with WHAT would they plan to invade Russia with? Shotgun Uschi [Ursula von der Leyen, former defense minister] made sure that the German Armed Forces cannot operate due lack of spare parts, tanks, airplanes… you name it, they lack it. I’m pretty sure that the Taliban is now better armed than the German Bundeswehr, thanks to Creepy Dementia Joe.

And Uschi’s successor AKK (Annegret Kramp Karrenbauer) has done nothing except twist the knife left, right and center. THIS IS A JOKE in more ways than one.

Questionable tender: Bundeswehr is apparently planning to march into Russia

A tender by the Bundeswehr causes a stir. Why do German troops need detailed geographic information about Russia? We are not talking about simple maps — no, it is about a complex geographic information system that you need if you want to operate with troops in the country.

by Dagmar Henn

A few days ago Die Welt reported on a tender by the German armed forces concerning geographical information about Russia. This somewhat peculiar formulation is necessary because the cards are not simple. It’s about a geographic information system. While the simple idea that it is a pile of current maps, as one is used to in everyday life, can send a shiver down your spine; since the Bundeswehr, whose constitutional mission is defense, has lost less than nothing in Russia, a geographic information system is far more sinister.

The tender reveals this goal with the phrase “vector data high resolution”. It is important to know that graphics and images can be created and stored on computers in two completely different ways. The one that most computer users are familiar with is made up of pixels, like a classic halftone print of a photograph. The other, the vector-based form, consists of mathematical formulas and additional properties. A curved red line is then a sequence of different curve formulas with the additional properties of line width and color. Graphics programs and CAD systems work with this type of data.

In contrast to files made up of pixels, the vector-based graphics have a much smaller volume and are easier to change (which in this case is of little importance) or to combine with additional data. As a result, it is possible, for example, to have three-dimensional models calculated using this data.

Now we are talking about a military project that is based on the images of military satellites. Two things have to be said about this. First of all, that the resolution (1:50,000) specified in the tender can be relocated to the realm of the imagination. “Military satellite systems such as In contrast, the KH-8 (Keyhole), for example, achieved a resolution of ten centimeters on the ground as early as the early 1980s to identify military equipment on the ground,” said a lecture at the Hamburg Forum for Geomatics in 2002. Between this resolution and the present, there are almost 40 years of further development, during which photocells have become more sensitive and data volumes have become easier to transfer. The current resolution of images from military satellites is likely to be in the millimeter range.

The second point that should not be overlooked is that military satellites don’t just snap pictures of the earth’s surface. At least not in the sense that they only take pictures in the spectrum of visible light. You can also do the whole thing in the infrared or radio wave range. However, this opens up completely different information.

A geographic information system now links the data obtained in this way with further information. For example, data on administrative centers and supply infrastructure for the geographic image of a city. Where are the hospitals, where is the water supply, the power plant, the television station… These are data that are obtained from the additional spectral ranges on the one hand, but can also be linked directly to the image on the other.
