'Totalitarian tyranny': Parents groups slam AG Garland for turning FBI on their activism

Parents who protest public school policies on race, gender and COVID-19 are crying foul after Attorney General Merrick Garland promised to "discourage" and prosecute "harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence" against school boards, administrators, teachers and staff.

His "mobilization of [the] FBI against parents is consistent with the complete weaponization of the federal government against ideological opponents," Rhode Island mother Nicole Solas, who is waging a public records battle with her school district over race-related curriculum, told Just the News.

"It ought to be the parents that need protection" from intimidation by school boards and superintendents, civil rights veteran Bob Woodson told Just the News. He cited Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe's recent statement that parents shouldn't tell schools what to teach.

"Nobody's making a case that lawlessness is being tolerated," said the founder of the Woodson Center and its 1776 Unites project, which advises school boards on history curricula and publishes its own lessons. The Department of Justice is creating the impression that parents are "firebombing school board meetings."

Former President Donald Trump told the John Solomon Reports podcast he was "somewhat surprised" by Garland's move, though "nothing surprises me too much anymore." He said parents were "very wounded by what's taken place by, in many cases, radical left school boards."

Universities in England 'failing to mark down students' for poor writing skills

Universities and colleges are failing to mark down students for poor spelling, grammar and punctuation, which is leading to grade inflation because of a misguided application of equalities legislation, according to England's higher education regulator.

After a review of assessment policies at five institutions, the Office for Students (OfS) said it feared that staff being allowed to ignore errors in students' written work was "widespread". It warned that it was willing to punish universities for failing to tackle poor writing skills.

The review follows cases this year of institutions using "inclusive assessment" policies more widely, and only taking quality of writing into account in courses where it was deemed to be critical, leading to condemnation from ministers.

Susan Lapworth, the OfS's director of regulation, said: "The common features we have seen in assessment policies suggest that poor spelling, punctuation and grammar may be accepted across the sector. In publishing this report, we are being clear with universities and colleges that we want to see change.

"Effective assessment should take into account all aspects of a student's work, and this includes their ability to express themselves effectively and correctly in written English."

Alex Jones of Infowars made a special broadcast on Monday night regarding an explosive video of Fauci with HHS officials and other health experts discussing how to enforce Universal Flu Vaccination in a summit organized by Milken Institute in Washington, DC last October 2019.

Alex Jones highlighted three clips from the hour-long video of the summit from C-SPAN which proved the COVID-19 pandemic was planned and the Big Pharma worked with the UN and other corrupt government officials to develop and release the COVID-19 virus ahead of 'Great Reset'.

The first clip featured Michael Specter, a journalist from The New Yorker and also an adjunct professor of bioengineering at Stanford University, Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Rick Bright, the director of HHS Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

JCOPE member David McNamara issued a proposed resolution on the controversial Cuomo book contract before the ethics board went into its non-public session.

The revelations from the Pandora Papers have shown just how obscene it is when the world's super-rich, including politicians supposedly on the left, use offshore companies to buy huge tranches of our cities.

This week we have discovered yet more evidence of the wealthy getting wealthier by avoiding paying their fair share of tax by using offshore companies registered in various tax havens across the globe.

Thanks to the efforts of dozens of journalists and campaigners in bringing us the Pandora Papers, a leak of almost 12 million documents that reveal hidden riches, tax avoidance and, in some cases, money laundering by some of the world's most rich and powerful - and greedy - people.

Pope's Swiss Guards resign over mandatory COVID-19 vaccination

Three others suspended for not taking the jab.

Three Swiss Guards have resigned and three others have been suspended after refusing to comply with a Vatican mandate that they get the COVID-19 vaccination.

The Swiss Guards, colloquially known as the Pope's bodyguards, had previously been ordered "to protect their health and that of the others they come into contact with as part of their service" by getting the jab.

The mandate was part of a broader instruction to all Vatican employees to get the COVID shot or face losing their jobs.

"Besides the three guardsmen sent back to Switzerland, at least three others were suspended from active duty after they agreed to vaccinate but have yet to receive their jabs," reports RT.

The fact that there is no religious exemption against taking the vaccine within the Vatican tells you everything you need to know about the Vatican and the Pope.

Mayor Eric Garcetti signed a sweeping mandate Wednesday requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter a wide variety of indoor venues.

Under the ordinance passed by the Los Angeles City Council earlier Wednesday, patrons aged 12 and older will have to show proof of full vaccination at indoor areas including restaurants, bars, gyms, movie theaters, convention centers, card rooms, museums, malls, play areas, spas, salons and indoor city facilities beginning Nov. 4.

It's one of the nation's strictest vaccine mandates, according to the Associated Press.

The city's ordinance expands on a countywide order that on Thursday will begin requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination at indoor bars, wineries, breweries, nightclubs, lounges and mega outdoor events.

Federal public servants, RCMP and ALL air and rail travellers must be vaccinated by month's end, Trudeau says

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled his government's mandatory vaccine policy today — a mandate that will require public servants to either get their shots by month's end or be forced into an unpaid leave of absence.

All would-be travellers must also be fully vaccinated by Oct. 30 before boarding planes, trains or marine vessels.

To bolster stalled vaccination rates, the federal government will require all of its employees in the "core public administration" and the RCMP to be fully vaccinated or to apply for a medical or religious exemption by the end of the month.

Federal contractors, like cleaning staff, must also be fully vaccinated to gain access to government buildings. The estimated 267,000 employees covered by this policy must report their vaccination status by Oct. 29.

If employees still haven't had their shots or received some sort of accommodation under the Canadian Human Rights Act two weeks after that date, they will face "disciplinary action that could ultimately cost them their job," a senior government official said at a technical briefing with reporters ahead of Trudeau's announcement.

Comment: These are some of the harshest mandates seen so far, and have human rights abuses written all over them. Of course, they've stopped caring about that months if not years ago. And with covid-19 as a pretext, they can do anything they want.

It's Greta Thunberg who seems to be at the helm in Germany. But that just signifies utopian promises, not REAL green progress

German politics, in its entirety, appears to be a kind of frontispiece. A strange and largely nonsensical virtue signal that goes beyond even the normal politicking of other nations.

The true leader of Germany - and, it seems, of many other European nations - might be said to be young Greta Thunberg, who angrily scolds the frightened Eurocrats from her various 'concerned' media pulpits. See them scatter like frightened mice before her, their ties and pantsuits fluttering.

The recent elections in Germany have proven that environmental, or green, activism is on the rise. This might be largely because it's the only kind of oppositional social activism permitted or recognised by the Western media machine, where protesters won't find themselves persecuted by the ever-scrutinizing surveillance-state apparatus. And, of course, that alone proves it's no threat to the capitalist, industrial-distribution system.

But what exactly is the make-up of these European eco-parties? Why are they often called 'watermelons' - green on the outside and red within? Certainly, what you often see at green-party gatherings are flags and slogans unrelated to supposed 'green goals', but related instead to progressive social justice.
