Federal judge temporarily blocks South Carolina's ban on school mask mandates

A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked South Carolina's statewide ban on school mask mandates, arguing that the provision discriminates against students with disabilities.

Judge Mary Geiger Lewis for the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted a motion for a preliminary injunction against the one-year law that had been written into the state's budget and put school districts at risk of losing funding should they require students and staff to wear masks.

The ACLU of South Carolina had filed a lawsuit against the provision on behalf of two disability advocacy organizations and a group of South Carolina parents of children with disabilities, such as asthma and autism.

The judge sided with the plaintiffs Tuesday, writing in her memorandum opinion,
"No one can reasonably argue that it is an undue burden to wear a mask to accommodate a child with disabilities."
She compared the mask mandate to schools being required to add ramps:
"to accommodate those with mobility-related disabilities so they could access a free public education."

"Today, a mask mandate works as a sort of ramp to allow children with disabilities access to their schools. Thus, the same legal authority requiring schools to have ramps requires that school districts have the option to compel people to wear masks at school."

"This is not a close call. The General Assembly's COVID measures disallowing school districts from mandating masks ... discriminates against children with disabilities."



Comment: The ramp comparison is ludicrous. All students are not 'required to use it' due to a disabled student's special need.

Individuals who have not received the coronavirus vaccine "aren't listening to God," New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) declared during remarks before Brooklyn's Christian Cultural Center on Sunday.


Comment: We don't know to what god Hochul was praying, but it certainly isn't one that should be prayed to if his answers for help come in the form of experimental gene therapies with side effects that make one want the sickness more than the cure:

President of Tunisia grants himself rule by decree to 'remove corrupt political elite'

About 2,000 people have gathered in Tunisia to protest against President Kais Saied, Reuters reports.

The capital Tunis' central Avenue Habib Bourguiba has been reinforced with security teams, according to Al Arabiya sources.

All roads leading up to the avenue have been closed in anticipation of the protests.

A large number of security forces have surrounded the perimeter of the Municipal Theatre where a number of people have gathered.

Tunisians are waiting for President Saied to announce the names of his new government and prime minister after he suspended parliament in July.

Comment: Al Jazeera reports on the most recent developments:
Four parties announce coalition to oppose Saied's move to seize governing powers

The Democratic Current party, Ettakatol (FDTL), the Republican Party and Afek Tounes announced the formation of the coalition in a news conference on Tuesday.

The secretary-general of the Democratic Current party, Ghazi Chawashi, said that the objective of the coalition is to express the refusal of the monopolisation of power.

He said Tunisia is witnessing a dangerous period that may lead to the collapse of the state and the end of democratic transitions.

On Wednesday, Saied gave himself the power to rule by decree, two months after sacking the prime minister, suspending parliament, and assuming executive authority.

While many Tunisians have backed Saied and see his actions as necessary to remove a corrupt and unpopular political elite after years of economic stagnation, his critics from across the spectrum have said he is inexperienced and uncompromising.

Chawashi said that if Saied "insists on his decisions", the coalition would apply pressure and "exercise all peaceful means of protest".

Speaking from Tunis, Al Jazeera's Bernard Smith said the coalition has stated they are open to talks.

"They are saying they want the president to appoint a government," Smith said. "[Saied] hasn't yet done that or articulated any comprehensive economic policy or how the government's going to finance the debt.

"At the same time, there has been a statement from civil society warning the president of the dangers of going too far and taking over power without saying how long he would hold onto the reins of power," he added.

Meanwhile, the secretary-general of the Republican Party, Issam Chebbi, said the president cannot ignore growing public unease.

"We have to be within the Constitution. The Constitution is for Tunisians and we refuse for the president to have a constitution that only suits him," Chebbi said.

"This is not democracy. Yes, we can amend the Constitution, within a quiet dialogue, away from any crisis, with the participation of all parties. We need to evaluate everything, agree [on] everything, and go back to the people for a referendum on these amendments," he added.

"The president has given himself the right to do whatever he wants."

Last week, other parties called for an end to what they called "a coup" after Saied took control of legislative and executive powers. In a joint statement, Attayar, Al Jouhmouri, Akef Tounes, and Ettakatol parties said that Saied's move enshrined an absolute power monopoly.

The leader of Tunisia's powerful Ennahdha party, Rached Ghannouchi, echoed the sentiments. Last week, the 80-year-old said that Saied's declarations meant cancelling the Constitution.

But Ennahdha - the biggest party in parliament - has not joined the latest coalition. More than 100 senior members have resigned, accusing Ghannouchi of failing to form a united front to oppose Saied and confront the country's political crisis.

Ahmed Gaaloul, a member of Ennahdha's executive committee, said the political party was the first to declare Saied's actions a coup.

"The next move is that all political parties in the country - and Mr Saied if he accepts - need to sit down at a table and decide the future of our country and the future of democracy," Gaaloul told Al Jazeera.

"We need to sort out the social and economic problems which are endangering other Tunisians in society and which became more problematic after Mr Saied's coup," he added, saying a state of dictatorship is not acceptable.

Best of the Web: God's work? Francis Vatican to mandate vaccines for employees

The Vatican will begin requiring employees to get vaccinated or submit to regular coronavirus testing starting this Friday, the city-state announced Tuesday, according to reports.

There is no exemption at the moment and those without proof of vaccination or a negative test will be considered "unjustly absent" and won't be paid, the Washington Post reported.

Pope Francis was vaccinated in January and has advocated for Roman Catholics to get it, calling it a "moral duty."

Comment: Francis again shows his NWO creds.

The man is an abomination.

The market crash nobody thinks is possible is coming - thanks to massive corruption at the Fed

market crash
The banquet of consequences is being served, and risk-off crashes are, like revenge, best served cold.

The ideal setup for a crash is a consensus that a crash is impossible--in other words, just like the present: sure, there are carefully measured murmurings about a "correction" but nobody with anything to lose in the way of public credibility is calling for an honest-to-goodness crash, a real crash, not a wimpy, limp-wristed dip that will immediately be bought.

What I'm calling for is a rip your face off, weeping bitter tears over the grave of the speculative wealth that you thought was forever crash. All those buying the dip because the Fed will never let the market go down will be crushed like scurrying cockroaches and all those trying to rotate into the next hot sector or asset class will also be crushed like scurrying cockroaches because when the Everything Bubble pops, well, everything pops. There is no shelter in a risk-off cascade.

The crash is coming as a result of multiple mutually reinforcing dynamics, the first being that no "serious person" believes a crash is possible, much less imminent. In no particular order, here are a raft of other causally consequential triggers of a cascading market crash:

1. As I noted in my call for the top, Is Anyone Willing to Call the Top of the Everything Bubble? (September 6, 2021), there is no history to support the widespread confidence that the extremes of over-valuation, leverage, euphoria and speculation last forever, or even much longer than the lifespan of a cockroach. We're well past that benchmark into unprecedented insanity. So what happens next: squish.

"Farm to Fork": How the EU and the Davos cabal plan to control agriculture

F. William Engdahl
New Eastern Outlook

GMO corn
Whenever we hear the word "sustainable" we would be well-advised to take a critical look behind the nice sounding words. In the case of the globalist Agenda 2030 with its 17 sustainable goals by 2030, the one for creating a "sustainable agriculture", when looked at closely, will destroy a huge part of EU agriculture production and drive already rising global prices for food far higher. The EU Commission calls their Green Deal for food the cute title, "Farm to Fork." It is being backed by Klaus Schwab's omnipresent World Economic Forum and their Great Reset.

Keep in mind that sustainable as defined by the UN and Davos World Economic Forum means achieving Zero Carbon emissions by 2050. Yet there is no scientific study independently proving that CO2 is endangering our planet by creating global warming. Only myriads of dubious, well-funded computer models. The harmless gas is essential to all human, animal and all plant life. Now the European Union Commission is pushing a top-down radical agenda on the agriculture heart of the world's second most important food producer as part of its ill-conceived EU Green Deal. If implemented as is likely, it will cause drastic reduction in crop outputs, a severe reduction in meat protein and, perhaps most dangerous, an overturning of current EU law regulating new gene-edited crops, or GMO.2. That will have global consequences.

Farm to Fork...

In May 2020 the EU Commission released its Farm to Fork Strategy. The official Brussels rhetoric makes it sound like a food nirvana is coming. They state, "The Farm to Fork Strategy is at the heart of the European Green Deal, aiming to make food systems fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly." Wow, that sounds super.

CDC claims it has authority to use police to do everything you see going on in Australia; and Congress agrees

Police in Victoria, Australia, attack and choke women for not wearing masks in public. Imagine if these cops had to worry about the helpless girls having a concealed carry permit.
We've all seen the videos from Australia. Police chasing down and beating a helpless woman, shooting rubber bullets at construction workers who violate that country's draconian lockdown rules. A 12-year-old girl gets pepper sprayed for not wearing a mask.

Watch the horrific excuse for policing below.


In another video [fast-forwarding to the 3:30 mark and be forewarned, the language is bad], police pepper spray a girl for not wearing a mask.


Do not be fooled into thinking this is just an Australian thing, never to happen in America.

Big, huge changes, in the near future (a tentative list)


The Saker
Sun, 26 Sep 2021 00:00 UTC
Biden speech
Truly, tectonic changes are happening before our eyes, and today I just want to list some of them but without going to deep into specific analyses, that I plan to do later in the coming weeks. But just looking at this list is impressive enough, at least for me. So, here we go:

The Anglos are circling the wagons:

The planned sale of US/UK SSNs to Australia is nothing short of a HUGE game changer. It is also just the tip of a big iceberg:
  • The US seems to have de-facto given up on Europe, not only because the UK left or because the EU is crashing and unmanageable anyway, but because the political grip the US had on the continent is now clearly slipping: NATO is a paper tiger, the "new Europeans" have outlived their utility and Russia has basically successfully diffused the threat from the West by her titanic effort to develop capabilities which make an attack on Russia suicidal for any country, including the USA, whether nukes are involved or not.
  • By screwing over France, the US has jettisoned a pretty useless ally which had a short hysterical fit, but is already going back to its usual groveling and begging (BTW - those who think that de Gaulle was the last French patriot capable of telling Uncle Shmuel to "take a hike" are wrong, Mitterrand was the last one, but that is a topic for another day).
  • Of course, in political/PR terms, the US will continue to declare itself committed to NATO and the EU, but the "body language" (actions) of the US directly contradicts this notion.
  • For all its immense progress since the 80s and 90s, China still has two major technological weak points: aircraft engines and SSNs. It just so happens that these are also two real US strong points. By deploying 8 more SSNs near China, the US is very intelligently maximizing the use of its best assets and hurting China where it will hurt the most. This does come with some very real risks, however, which I will discuss below.

Rex Murphy: How COVID-19 taught the public to distrust the authorities

Early on during the pandemic, it was easy to accept that the politicians, guided by their selected cadre of experts, knew what they were doing. And there was likewise in the public mind a considerable reservoir of trust in their pronouncements, which was not diminished if — in the very early days — a caution or a recommendation put out one week was altered, revised, or even contradicted by a caution or recommendation the week following.

MI6 forced to admit that Assad is key to peace in Middle East

Assad is Key to Peace admits MI6
The recent article in The Guardian written by suspected MI6-linked Martin Chulov is a sign of the collapsing regime change project driven by the UK and US intelligence agencies since well before 2011. A war in a series of wars and coups that have plagued the region for decades. I recently wrote about the West being forced to partially normalise relations with President Assad after demonising him relentlessly since 2011. This is only the first in what will be a long line of climb-downs by the US/UK Coalition of intervention.

Comment: Also see Vanessa Beeley's September 18th article:

The so-called 'cradle of the revolution' against Assad has been liberated - the West's campaign to topple him is all but over
