California releases dystopian video pushing partnership with Microsoft to collect kids' biometric data, enforce vaccine mandates

A video released by California contains propaganda meant to cajole state residents into accepting digital health IDs for children as necessary to reopen schools.

"There's never been anything like this virus in our lifetime. Often, it's hard to see the effects it's having on our children," the propaganda video states.

A kid's voice is used to tug at the heartstrings of the viewer so they are more likely to comply with absurd mandates. California then introduced their new partnership with Microsoft, giving a massive globalist corporation access to a treasure trove of the biometric data from children - an apparent violation of the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution - under the guise of safety.

"Each week, you can schedule your free on-campus COVID test. The results are displayed in your daily pass, and, if you choose to take your test off campus, you can post your results in your daily pass," the video states.

"And, the moment vaccinations are available, you'll simply be able to schedule yours through your daily pass. But the real magic is your daily health check. Just answer a few simple health questions everyday, and like magic, your entrance ticket appears," the video adds.

Comment: Not psychotic - psychopathic.

Dem-led House passes HR1 'For the People' act, aimed at federalizing US elections

The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed H.R. 1, otherwise known as the "For the People Act," which Republicans warn will compromise election integrity and ultimately lead to the federalization of U.S. elections.

The Democrat-led House passed the legislation on party lines, 220 to 210. A summary of the bill notes that it "expands voter registration (e.g., automatic and same-day registration) and voting access (e.g., vote-by-mail and early voting)" and imposes limits on removing voters from voter rolls.


Comment: This sounds like Newspeak for creating fictional voters.


Republicans have warned that the Democrat legislation would vastly reduce the power of the states to control and operate elections at the local level.

"If this bill passes, it puts in all these terrible provisions," Hans von Spakovsky, manager of the Heritage Foundation's Election Law Reform Initiative and a senior legal fellow of the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, said during a January appearance on Breitbart News Daily.

"It's a federal micromanagement of the election process, and everything that folks on the left want to reduce the integrity [and] the security of the election process is in there," he continued.

"If you're a state like Alabama or Texas that has a voter ID law, you might as well forget it, because this federal law would override all state voter ID laws so they're now unenforceable," von Spakovsky added.

Comment: The bill still needs to pass the Senate, where Republicans still have the ability to stonewall it via the filibuster.

With the inclusion of the FADE (Foreign Agent Disclaimer Enhancement) Act, the bill would also give the DOJ the power to remove "undesirable" social media posts.

FBI official admits no guns were recovered from protesters arrested inside Capitol Building

A top FBI counterterrorism official testified on Wednesday that no firearms were recovered during arrests of rioters who breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

"How many firearms were confiscated in the Capitol or on Capitol grounds during that day?" Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson asked Jill Sanborn, the FBI official, during a Senate Homeland Security hearing.

"To my knowledge, we have not recovered any on that day from any other arrests at the scene at this point," replied Sanborn, who serves as FBI assistant director for counterterrorism.

Comment: Meanwhile it appears that more likely suspects are sliding away:
The disparity between how federal prosecutors apply the law to Trump supporters and those associated with Antifa is anything but equal.

Below are two such cases that occurred in the same D.C. locale, on the same day and arrested for the same offense.
It appears government prosecutors have a propensity to drop the charges of those associated with leftist groups like Antifa and overcharge those on the right who support President Trump.

Here is an example:

One Antifa member was caught with a gun and arrested on January 6th on weapons charges. But Leslie Grimes was later released despite lying to officers about the gun in their vehicle.

Via NBC News:
Leslie Grimes and two fellow antifa members drove to Washington from Michigan to counter-demonstrate during the Trump rally. According to one of Grimes' friends, the group walked around for a while but returned to the car after Grimes was roughed by some Trump supporters.

As the trio were getting into the car, they were surrounded by officers who said someone had reported that they were seen "putting weapons in the trunk," according to a video of the encounter posted on Facebook.

One of the three denied that there were any weapons in the car, but officers found a handgun in the trunk.

Grimes was taken into custody on a charge of possessing an unlicensed gun after she told the officers the firearm belonged to her. She spent the night in jail, but authorities declined to move forward with charges, according to her attorney.

The friend said he does not understand how police knew there was a gun in the car. "It was in the trunk the whole time," the friend said. "How would they know? It doesn't make any sense.
Similarly, two Trump supporters were caught with a gun in their car. But they were not released. The two were arrested after telling officers they had a gun in their car.

Via NBC News:
Charles Snell, 40, and Timothy Wolfe, 32, drove up together from Chesapeake, Virginia, to take part in the Trump rally, arriving about 11 a.m. They had been on the road for about three hours and were excited to take pictures at the event and to be "a part of history," Snell said in an interview.

But they never made it to the rally.

Snell turned into what he thought was a public parking garage on 12th Street, just a couple of blocks from the National Mall.

A security guard stopped the car and asked whether they had any weapons inside, Snell said. Snell, a private security guard himself, had a handgun in his backpack in the back seat. Wolfe told the guard that he had a gun on the floorboard, a Glock 9 mm with 12 rounds in the magazine.

The two men were placed under arrest on charges of carrying a pistol without a license, possession of unregistered ammunition and possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device.

"It was my fault," Snell said. "I didn't research it before I came, or I wouldn't have brought fingernail clippers on my key ring. Heck no."

"I'm doing security," he added. "If I get some kind of conviction, I might end up losing my license."

Snell said they brought their guns only for security during travel to and from Washington.
This is a stunning example of the double standard and lies coming from our media and Washington DC.

Hungary toughens COVID-19 lockdown to curb "very strong" third wave

Hungary announced new COVID-19 lockdown measures on Thursday to try to curb a "very strong" third wave of the pandemic, closing most shops and shifting to remote learning in primary schools.

With new cases hitting a three-month daily high of 6,278 on Thursday, mainly because of the spreading coronavirus variant first found in Britain, Prime Minister Viktor Orban faces a growing political challenge.

Orban, who faces an election battle early next year, had kept shops and industries open to try to limit the economic effects of the pandemic, which caused a 5% recession last year.

"The third wave (of the pandemic) is strong, very strong and worse than the second wave had been," Gergely Gulyas, Orban's chief of staff, told reporters.

Primary schools and nurseries will shut until April 7, and all shops except food stores, pharmacies and petrol stations will close from March 8 until March 22. Outdoor sport will be allowed if social distancing rules are followed.

Comment: Whatever the explanation for this latest "strong third wave," there's no excess mortality signal (yet?). Does it have any relation to the mass vaccine? A pseudo-reality due to testing? A new variant that is more infectious, but less deadly? Whatever the explanation, it's a great opportunity for the PTB to announce that after a whole year the virus is getting stronger and stronger, thus necessitating more lockdowns, and a bigger push for experimental and untested vaccines. The end goal: impose total and global control over humanity.

The Guardian suggests lockdowns every 2 years 'to meet Paris climate goals', CNN expert blasted over advice for masks & restrictions every winter

The Guardian accidentally confirmed the suspicions of a whole lot of conspiracy theorists with an article suggesting a "global lockdown every two years" was needed to meet Paris climate goals. The title was quickly changed.

If carbon dioxide emissions don't drop by the equivalent of a worldwide lockdown "roughly every two years" for the next decade, the earth will heat to apocalyptic levels, a team of researchers at the University of East Anglia warned in a Nature article published Wednesday.

Comment: The idea that the authorities would be reluctant to relinquish newly snatched powers isn't exactly revelatory, any one with a basic understanding of psychology and/or history could have predicted it.

EU parliament shelves vote on Brexit deal after Boris Johnson 'violates' agreement
The EU has shelved plans to approve Boris Johnson's Brexit deal after Brussels accused the UK of violating the agreement.

The trade deal between the UK and EU has been in provisional force for two months but needs to pass a vote in the European parliament to become permanent.

Leaders of the legislature's political groups intended to agree a date for the final vote at a meeting on Thursday, but instead agreed to hold off after the latest move by the UK.

Comment: One could be forgiven for thinking that some in the UK may be trying to postpone Brexit from going ahead: Still Confused About Brexit? It's Actually Pretty Simple...

YouTube suspends RSBN for broadcasting Trump's CPAC 2021 speech, censors Trump's speech

"Our network provides very little in the way of commentary. We basically just turn a camera on and show you what's happening- and let you decide. People can choose to watch it, not watch it, hate it or love it. That's called freedom. If that's no longer allowed then God help us," wrote RSBN.

YouTube, the Google-owned video hosting platform, has suspended Right Side Broadcasting Network from its service for two weeks and deleted all its videos of former President Donald Trump's Feb. 28 speech at CPAC.

Posting on Twitter, the media outlet claimed that the reason for their suspension was because the videos "violated their guidelines on election misinformation," which is prohibited by YouTube.

Putin blasts World Economic Forum honchos at Davos gabfest

Comment: Yes dear reader, we have covered this story here before, but the insights provided by both Russia's President Putin and the author of the article merit the read. And for those of you who have not yet heard about the following - enjoy...


Why is Vladimir Putin standing up to the richest and most powerful men in the world? Why is he bad-mouthing their "pet project" Globalization and trash-talking their "Great Reset"? Does he really think these corporate mandarins and "silver spoon" elites are going to listen to what he has to say or does he realize that they're just going to hate him more than ever? Why is he doing this?

Here's what's going on: At the end of January, Putin was given the opportunity to address the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland (online). The WEF is a prestigious assembly of political leaders, corporatists and billionaire elites many of who are directly involved in the massive global restructuring project that is currently underway behind the smokescreen of the Covid-19 pandemic. Powerful members of the WEF decided that the Coronavirus presented the perfect opportunity to implement their dystopian strategy which includes a hasty transition to green energy, A.I., robotics, transhumanism, universal vaccination and a comprehensive surveillance matrix that detects the location and activities of every human being on the planet. The proponents of this universal police state breezily refer to it as "The Great Reset" which is the latest make-over of the more familiar, "New World Order". There's not a hairsbreadth difference between the Reset and one-world government which has preoccupied billionaire activists for more than a century. This is the group to which Putin made the following remarks:

America's "domestic war on terror": Under new laws, anyone who disagrees with the government can be considered a terrorist

Forget Al-Qaeda, Washington has a new domestic enemy in town and they are called the White Supremacists. But the reality is that the new enemy is basically anyone who disagrees with the US government will be considered a terrorist. For the Democratic Party and its mainstream-media lapdogs, January 6th, 2021 will live in infamy, in fact, there was even talk on making that day, a federal holiday. It all began when Trump supporters who showed up in Washington D.C. to reject Joe Biden's 2020 election results because they claimed that the elections had been stolen, but the Democrats insisted that it was not.

Then, the unimaginable happened, the so-called White Supremacists invaded the US capital, declaring war on the treasonous congress members who were about to certify Joe Biden's election victory. It is widely known as 'The storming of the capital' which does sound like a name made for a Hollywood movie. The Democrats say that they feared for their lives, some people were injured and even killed during the chaos. There are many questions concerning as to who were the people behind the protests because many of the protesters believed that they were doing something right for their democracy, so it is quite possible that they were led by agent provocateurs. So was it a domestic false-flag operation by placing agent provocateurs to blame all conservative Trump supporters who happen to be pro-2nd amendment, law-abiding citizens? As of now, we still don't know for sure.
