Tyrannical nutjob Gretchen Whitmer orders restaurants to collect customers' information amid COVID-19 'surges' in Michigan

Gretchen Whitmer
Michigan restaurants will have to begin tracking the names and numbers of customers in case of COVID-19 outbreaks starting Monday under a policy announced Thursday as the state experiences surges in cases of the virus.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services unveiled orders that limit non-residential indoor gatherings without fixed seating to 50 people — the limit was 500 — and restrict individual table sizes at restaurants to six people.

The health department's order on Thursday came on a day when Michigan set a daily case record at 3,675, along with 41 more deaths. That's the most new confirmed cases in a single day during the seven-month pandemic for the state.


Comment: Depending on who and how these numbers are being counted of course.


The coronavirus trends in Michigan are "incredibly concerning," said Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, the state's chief medical executive. As of Wednesday, the state reported 1,348 adults with COVID-19 in hospitals, three times the 405 adults with COVID-19 in hospitals one month ago.

A girls' religious school in Islamabad staged a mock beheading in front of its young students as a cleric preached that Muslims would exact vengeance on France - and on the West in general - for "insulting" Prophet Mohammed.

A woman in full face veil uses a scimitar to behead an effigy in front of hundreds of assembled students, many holding signs sporting protest slogans, in video posted to the official Facebook account of Jamia Syeda Hafsa, a Pakistani girls' seminary, last week.

What the poll really conveys is that many of today's young people neither understand nor respect the importance of property rights in a free society.

More rioting and looting broke out in American cities this week. This time, it was Philadelphia consumed by violence after a police shooting.

According to ABC News, at least 30 police officers have been injured in the violent unrest, while dozens of people have been arrested for rioting or vandalism. Mobs have descended on Walmart and rushed out carrying TVs, while other agitators ransacked Footlocker for new sneakers. The full number of businesses ravaged by the destruction is increasing and still being tallied.

Provincial police in Canada's Ontario have launched a probe into twin fires that destroyed churches in two neighboring towns on the same night.

Emergency crews responded to a fire inside the historical South Caradoc United Church in the community of Strathroy-Caradoc in southwestern Ontario at around 12:30am on Sunday. However, they were too late to save the historic structure.

"It was fully involved by the time we arrived," Joop Devoest, deputy fire chief of Strathroy-Caradoc Fire Department, told local media.

Best of the Web: National Guard troops arrive in multiple US cities ahead of election night chaos

In preparation for any emergencies, including widespread social unrest following election results on Tuesday night, the National Guard has been deployed in several states.

Fears of election night chaos have gripped state governments for the last month, forcing Gov. Charlie Baker of Massachusetts on Monday to "activate" 1,000 Massachusetts National Guard members.

And in Oregon, Gov. Kate Brown, for the second time in two months, declared a state of emergency for the Portland metro area, citing potential social unrest surrounding the election.

Death by lockdown

casket
On March 28 - very early in the pandemic - AIER published an article that I felt at the time received far too little attention. "Drugs, Suicide, and Crime: Empirical Estimates of the Human Toll of the Shutdown" by economists Audrey and Thomas Duncan cited empirical literature on the human toll of economic devastation.

This article forecasted more than 100,000 excess deaths due to drug overdoses, suicide, alcoholism, homicide, and untreated depression - all a result not of the virus but of policies of mandatory human separation, economic downturn, business and school closures, closed medical services, and general depression that comes with a loss of freedom and choice.

These two economists demonstrated that as bad as a virus is, policies that wreck normal social functioning will cause massive and completely unnecessary suffering and death. Because the article was so well-cited, with references to all the available literature, I thought it would make a difference. But after it appeared, it was crickets. I was amazed. Here you have a beautiful piece of research that perfectly forecasted the nightmare being created by politicians and their advisers and it made no dent in the national narrative.

European carrier Ryanair said on Monday it will operate a "significantly reduced flying schedule" in the next six months compared to its original expectations due to Covid-related restrictions tightening across Europe.

The UK government announced last week a second lockdown for England starting on November 5. France and Germany are also introducing second nationwide lockdowns. Many other European governments have increased restrictions over the past few days.

"The WHO (World Health Organization) themselves confirmed that lockdowns should be the last option, lockdowns are essentially a failure," Michael O'Leary, CEO of Ryanair told CNBC.

He added: "If we had more aggressive test and tracing provision, or as (UK Prime Minister) Boris Johnson promised world class testing and tracing, which clearly we don't have in the UK, we could and would have avoided a second lockdown."

Archbishop warns Trump about "The Great Reset" and tyranny of globalism

Klaus Schwab
Carlo Maria Vigano, Tit. Archbishop of Ulpiana, Former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America wrote President Trump on June 7. Trump praises Italian archbishop who urges him to fight 'deep state' protests. On October 25, he sent him the Open Letter shown further below warning about the plans of The World Economic Forum for The Great Reset discussed further below.

Abp. Viganò warns Trump about 'Great Reset' plot to 'subdue humanity,' destroy freedom in a 6-minite October 29 video which says. "His Excellency has written another open letter to President Trump about the 'global conspiracy against God and humanity.' 'It is you, dear President, who are 'the one who opposes' the deep state, the final assault of the children of darkness,' His Excellency writes. 'Place your trust in the Lord.'"

Viganò Warns Trump of GLOBAL-GREAT-RESET: Deep Church and Katechon is a 47-minute video that was live streamed on October 30.

A contagion of hatred and hysteria: Oxford epidemiologist Prof. Sunetra Gupta tells how she's been intimidated and shamed for addressing lockdown with Great Barrington Declaration

Sunetra Gupta
Professor Sunetra Gupta (pictured) said at the heart of their proposal is the recognition that mass lockdowns cause enormous damage for the poorest and disadvantaged
Lockdown is a blunt, indiscriminate policy that forces the poorest and most vulnerable people to bear the brunt of the fight against coronavirus. As an infectious diseases epidemiologist, I believe there has to be a better way.

That is why, earlier this month, with two other international scientists, I co-authored a proposal for an alternative approach — one that shields those most at risk while enabling the rest of the population to resume their ordinary lives to some extent.

I expected debate and disagreement about our ideas, published as the Great Barrington Declaration.

As a scientist, I would welcome that. After all, science progresses through its ideas and counter-ideas.

But I was utterly unprepared for the onslaught of insults, personal criticism, intimidation and threats that met our proposal. The level of vitriol and hostility, not just from members of the public online but from journalists and academics, has horrified me.

I am not a politician. The hurly-burly of political life and being in the eye of the media do not appeal to me at all.

I am first and foremost a scientist; one who is far more comfortable sitting in my office or laboratory than in front of a television camera.

Comment: The Covidcult resorts to insults, intimidation and attacks because that is all they are capable of doing; being brainwashed, lied to and propagandized into believing the Big Lies about Covid-19 - they have lost all reason and cannot be tasked to consider any perspectives that challenge their now hard-wired authoritarian mind-sets.

Kudos to Prof. Gupta and those in the public eye who are brave enough to speak out on this destructive status quo.

Prep concerns: 'No climb' fence to be installed around the White House

With Election Day preparations in full swing across the country, the White House will have a "no climb" fence installed this week around the entire complex, a law enforcement source told Fox News on Monday.

A similar fence already exists around Lafayette Park and parts of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House for Inauguration Day construction. Such fencing was also used around the White House over the summer following unrest over the death of George Floyd. Those fences ranged from seven feet to more than nine feet high.

The precautions come during one of the most contentious presidential elections in recent memory and concerns over possible unrest in the wake of Tuesday's results.

DC Metro Police Chief Peter Newsham said Thursday there were no "credible threats right now of violence," but said several groups had applied for permits to conduct large demonstrations and the entire police department would be working on Election Day.

Mayor Muriel Bowser said she had not decided whether to use National Guard troops for election-related violence, though some troops remain activated amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Preparations for possible unrest in the nation's capital have extended beyond the White House.

Comment: About those choppers: NNSA to conduct aerial radiation measurements over DC
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) will conduct low-altitude helicopter flights over downtown Washington, D.C. and areas in and around the Nation's capital beginning on October 19 in preparation for the Presidential Inauguration. The inauguration is scheduled to take place on January 20, 2021.

Local residents may see a twin-engine Bell 412 helicopter, which is equipped with sensitive, state-of-the-art passive radiation sensing technology. The helicopter will fly in a grid pattern over the areas at 150 feet (or higher) above the ground at a speed of approximately 80 mph. Flyovers will occur only during daylight hours and are estimated to take approximately two hours to complete per area. The aircraft measurements will be purely scientific in nature, and no surveillance or other form of monitoring will occur during these flights.

The aerial surveys are a normal part of security and emergency preparedness activities. NNSA is making the public aware of the upcoming flights so citizens who see the low-flying aircraft are not alarmed.

The NEST survey aircraft is an element of the Aerial Measuring System (AMS), based at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. For more information and video footage of NNSA's AMS aircraft, see https://www.energy.gov/nnsa/aerial-measuring-system-ams.

NEST is part of NNSA's Counterterrorism and Counterproliferation Program and provides the Nation's nuclear or radiological emergency response capability. NEST provides domestic and international reach through regional programs, offices, and personnel.
