Court strikes down "quarantine camp" regulation in New York State

We have had a tremendous victory here in New York: a Supreme Court Judge has struck down Governor Kathy Hochul's forced quarantine regulation! On July 8, 2022, Judge Ronald Ploetz ruled that the "Isolation and Quarantine Procedures" regulation is unconstitutional and "violative of New York State law as promulgated and enacted, and therefore null, void and unenforceable as a matter of law."

Shockingly, Governor Hochul and Attorney General, Letitia James, plan to appeal the decision. Yes, that's right...the Governor and AG, both unabashedly support quarantine camps! One would think that this fact, in and of itself, would be disturbing enough but add to it the fact that they're both running for election this November, and you can see just how unconstitutionally brazen and wholly out-of-touch with New Yorkers each of these "leaders" is.

For anyone who missed my prior article on this horrific forced quarantine regime, the regulation truly shocks the conscience. Without exaggeration, it's something out of a dystopian horror movie. It gives the unelected bureaucrats in the Department of Health the power to pick and choose who they want to "detain," if they believe it's even possible you might have a communicable disease. They don't have to prove you're actually sick.

Comment: This is a great development. However, when everyone is gripped in fear over the next 'pandemic,' will the decisions made be as reasonable?

Gender dysphoria is covered by disability law, federal court rules

© Eric Gay / AP fileDemonstrators gather on the steps of the Texas State Capitol in Austin on May 20, 2021, to protest transgender-related legislation being considered in the Legislature.
The ruling could become a powerful tool to challenge legislation restricting access to medical care and other accommodations for transgender people, advocates say.

A federal ruling that gender dysphoria is covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act could help block conservative political efforts to restrict access to gender-affirming care, advocates and experts say.

A panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last week became the first federal appellate court in the country to find that the 1990 landmark federal law protects transgender people who experience anguish and other symptoms as a result of the disparity between their assigned sex and their gender identity.

Comment: What ideologically possessed 'medical entities' have to say on the subject is neither here nor there. Common sense dictates that one should not allow children to make drastic irreversible decisions about their bodies and their health at such a young age. And the idea that the tax-payer should be footing the bill for this 'care,' is deplorable.

Mark Zuckerberg tells Joe Rogan Facebook was wrong to ban The Post's Hunter Biden laptop story

Mark Zuckerberg finally admitted on Thursday that Facebook dropped the ball when the company banned the sharing of The Post's exclusive report on Hunter Biden's laptop ahead of the 2020 election.

The billionaire CEO of Meta said he regretted Facebook's handling of the bombshell story during an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience" — but he still defended the process as "pretty reasonable."

Zuckerberg opened up about the controversial media suppression after the host pressed him to explain his views on how tech platforms should handle content moderation on sensitive subjects.

Comment: Given an FBI whistleblower just revealed that agents were specifically told not to investigate the Hunter Biden laptop, it's not surprising social media networks were, more or less, told to suppress the story. This was political maneuvering by a highly partisan agency, plain and simple.

Caught red-handed: Facebook and Twitter delete pro-western bot networks - study

Data provided by the social media giants showed a web of linked accounts pushing pro-US and anti-Russia narratives.

Twitter and Facebook have deleted a network of suspicious accounts said to be involved in "covert influence operations" online, including efforts to promote "pro-Western" sentiment and demonize US adversaries, according to company data analyzed by researchers at Stanford University.

Partnering with social media analytics firm Graphika, the Stanford Internet Observatory issued a report on Wednesday outlining the alleged influence ops, citing datasets provided by both Twitter and Meta, Facebook's parent company.

Comment: Everyone knows that Western powers are manipulating social media, but it's nice to see them caught for it. This will likely get much press in the West, however. Keep in mind that a bunch of memes and videos tied originating in Russia (maybe) was enough to be deemed "interference" in the 2020 election. But it's OK when we do it.

Justice Centre brings legal challenge against ArriveCAN and quarantine measures

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 07:36 UTC
arrivecan
The Justice Centre filed a lawsuit today in the Federal Court of Canada, on behalf of 11 Canadians either fined for not using the ArriveCAN and/or ordered to quarantine for 14 days after returning home from abroad. The Applicants involved in this legal challenge have received fines of up to $8,500 each and been forced to disclose private medical information via ArriveCAN. The legal challenge seeks to strike down the mandatory use of ArriveCAN and declare unconstitutional the 14-day quarantine requirements for Canadians who refuse to use ArriveCAN when returning home.

ArriveCan was initially implemented in April 2020 to force Canadian citizens returning home to submit quarantine plans due to Covid. It was mandated for air travellers November 21, 2020. In February 2021, the federal government mandated ArriveCan for all land travellers, while the US-Canada land crossing was still closed. After the Covid vaccine rollouts, travellers were required to upload their vaccination certificates onto the ArriveCAN app.

Mr. Matthew Leccese, one of the applicants, went to the United States for 25 minutes to pick up some parts for his vehicle. Upon his return, the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) demanded that he submit his vaccination certificate via ArriveCAN. Mr. Leccese refused because he had privacy concerns with ArriveCAN, but offered to present his vaccination certificate. CBSA refused to accept his paper certificate and issued him a ticket for $7,210 for not using ArriveCAN.

A US state department sponsored round table on 'countering disinformation' was recently held at the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine.
"Information terrorists should know that they will have to answer to the law as war criminals" Andrii Shapovalov
According to the press release - "NGOs, mass media and international experts" took part in the round table discussions. Delegates discussed 'disinformation methods' used in Ukraine and abroad. On the agenda was legal and state prevention of 'fakes and disinformation in the context of cyber security'.

Andrii Shapovalov, head of the Ukrainian Centre for Combatting Disinformation emphasized that those who 'deliberately spread disinformation are information terrorists'. Shapovalov recommended changes to the legislation to crack down on these terrorists - reminiscent of the pre-WW2 Nazi Germany suppression of media and information channels. Shapovalov determined that 'information terrorists should know that they will have to answer to the law as war criminals'.

A public call to ban The Grayzone by a UK Foreign Office veteran and psy-ops specialist confirms the malign intentions of British intelligence.

The Arvamusfestival (Opinion Festival) convened this August by the Estonian Foreign Ministry featured as its centerpiece an English-language panel on "how to deal with misinformation...in the interests of curbing its propagation."

During the discussion, a British state operative named Ross Burley descended into a rant about The Grayzone, demanding it be banned from YouTube on the baseless grounds that it is a "Russian propaganda outfit."

Brave new world
In the future, we will live in a high-tech surveillance state, our every movement, word, and even thought tracked by implanted chips feeding our data into a planetary grid encompassed by swarming multitudes of networked drones, sensors, and satellites from which nothing is invisible. Our cities will be antiseptic multi-ethnic utopias where light monorail systems powered by sunlight speed down gleaming white streets. The inhabitants will be androgynous vegans and insectivores, their psychologies carefully curated by scientifically designed curricula, social credit and cognitive nudge systems, and psychopharmacogenetic therapies all aligning to remove every trace of such antisocial traits as nativism, masculinity, sexual jealousy, or the selfish desire to own things. Agriculture will be a thing of the past, for the soylent, vegetation, and insect protein that sustains the posthumans will be manufactured in agricultural towers that require no soil or rainwater to work. The smiling, teeming hives of the high-density metropoles will contain the entirety of posthumanity, while the remainder of the planet reverts to wilderness. The posthumans have lost even their desire to interact with the physical world, spending their lives immersed in synthetic digital experiences, their enjoyment of which is ensured by direct electrical modulation of their pleasure centres.

This is essentially the vision being promoted by the World Economic Forum and its fellow travellers. Whether it looks like paradise or hell on Earth, the natural and desirable outcome of the evolutionary process or a Great Filter-scale cosmic failure mode, is a matter of perception.

It's also almost irrelevant, because it won't happen.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis described retiring Dr. Anthony Fauci as an "elf" and called for him to be chucked "across the Potomac" River in a stump speech Wednesday afternoon.

Fauci, 81, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the top medical adviser to the last seven presidents, announced Monday that he would retire at the end of the year.

"I'm so sick of seeing him."

During a rally in Orlando earlier today, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis slammed Dr. Anthony Fauci, saying "someone needs to grab that little elf and chuck him across the Potomac."

BlackRock, BNP Paribas, and Credit Suisse are among the list of firms that Texas has just issued that will now be banned from working with the state due to their hostility to the energy industry.

After almost a year of suspense that cost banks business as Texas municipal-bond issuers avoided firms whose status was unclear amid the probe, Bloomberg reports that Glenn Hegar, the Republican state comptroller, on Wednesday named the firms he will prohibit from entering into most contracts with the state and its local entities after his office found they "boycott" the fossil fuel sector.

More than 150 firms were sent detailed inquiries, requesting information on whether they were shunning the oil and gas industry in favor of sustainable investing and financing goals.
