Passport

Sweden vaccine passports will 'probably be required' for shopping, eating out, travel, meeting loved ones


Comment: Fair play to the Swedish government for holding out as long as it did. Alas, it too has now fallen...

Swedes will need a certificate with proof of vaccination to participate in everyday activities, a government official said.

Swedish Health Minister Lena Hallengren announced at a recent press conference the government's intention to provide a "digital vaccination certificate" to residents who receive a COVID-19 vaccine, allowing them to "travel abroad on holiday or to meet a loved one."

The minister said she is convinced that a "vaccination certificate is probably as desirable as getting vaccinated," raising speculation that the digital identifier could become necessary for accessing international travel, as well as going about everyday activities such as shopping and eating out.

Cuomo ordered group homes for disabled to accept COVID-19 patients, at least 552 have died

The executive order, which remains in effect, mirrors Cuomo's controversial nursing home order.

As New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) faces articles of impeachment over covering up COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes and multiple allegations of sexual harassment, there is renewed scrutiny of his administration's mishandling of the pandemic, including focus on an executive order that required homes for people with developmental disabilities to accept coronavirus patients.

Cuomo's nursing home scandal, in which the governor issued an executive order to move COVID-19 patients from hospitals to nursing homes and then manipulated data to hide how many senior citizens contracted the coronavirus and died, is well documented. But another directive issued by the governor has until now received little attention.

Comment: Meanwhile, in Cuomo's other scandal (from New York Post):
Another Cuomo sex harass complaint as aide becomes sixth woman to accuse governor
By Bernadette Hogan and Bruce Golding

A female member of Gov. Cuomo's staff on Tuesday become the sixth woman to accuse him of inappropriate conduct, according to a report — as the state's embattled leader claimed to be unaware of the latest bombshell threatening his political life.

The woman told associates that Cuomo touched her inappropriately late last year inside the governor's mansion after she was summoned there on official business, the Albany Times Union said.

...

On Monday, James announced the hiring of outside lawyers — including former acting Manhattan US Attorney Joon Kim — to investigate the mushrooming allegations of sexual harassment and other inappropriate behavior by Cuomo.

In a statement to the Times Union, Cuomo's acting counsel, Beth Garvey, said, "All allegations that we learn of directly or indirectly are going promptly to the investigators appointed by the attorney general."

More than an hour after the report was published, Cuomo held a conference call with reporters during which he said, "I'm not aware of any other claim" — even though Garvey also took part in the news conference.

The three-term Democratic governor then repeated the talking points he first trotted out on March 3 in a feeble effort to answer repeated questions about the spiraling scandal that has led fellow Democrats to call for his resignation and Republicans to introduce a resolution seeking his impeachment.

UK's £37 BILLION Test and Trace system provided 'NO clear impact' on coronavirus, damning new report reveals

UK test and trace
The impact of NHS Test and Trace is still unclear - despite the UK government setting aside £37bn for it over two years, MPs are warning.

The Public Accounts Committee said it was set up on the basis it would help prevent future lockdowns - but since its creation there had been two more.

It said the spending was "unimaginable" and warned the taxpayer could not be treated like an "ATM machine".

But Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said the MPs' report "defies logic".

James Delingpole on the Great Reset: A coup by the globalist oligarch and big tech monopolists

great reset klaus schwab extinctin rebellion
What exactly is The Great Reset, and its sister slogan "Build Back Better," both of which we keep hearing our politicians parroting in the West?

According to globalist luminaries at the headquarters of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, "There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis."

Their intentions are clear: to use the perception of a 'global pandemic' in order to fast-track their own new economic world order and global governance system of people management, and restructuring of monetary and commercial rules for 'green' financial markets - all to suit their own preordained power structure. Their vision is that of an elite-driven, blunt technocracy and globalist feudal system masquerading as a 'green' utopia.

Texas Leads to Freedom

Gates and world
The spider discovered a wasp escaping his gossamer web. He is furious. How dare she? The wasp had been caught, bonded, poisoned. She is ready to be killed and eaten. And all of a sudden she wakes up and tears the spider web. You are a Neanderthal, the enraged spider exclaims, and you will end like the Neanderthals did, dead as a dodo and extinct.

This is what Biden said to the people of Texas who dared to break free from his mask regime. Biden, the King of the Dead and his team were sure the world was under their control; they planned to lead mankind to the Great Reset, to the grim end of Homo Sapiens, to the cruel dystopia of masked slaves ruled by Google algorithms. But the Texans had changed the course of history. They were immediately followed by Mississippi, Iowa, Montana and North Dakota; the states that voted for Trump and freedom.

The populace met this wise and brave decision with elation, the Daily Mail reported:
"Oxford, home of Ole Miss, saw people out in full force, eating at restaurants and shopping at stores... In Florida, Spring Breakers were also abandoning masks as bikini-clad college students flooded onto beaches and crammed into bars in Miami and Fort Lauderdale to kick of their vacation. And in Idaho, a group gathered to burn their masks outside of the statehouse in protest of COVID-19 restrictions after other states this week made the decision to ditch mandates and open back up. A group of children joined their parents, several of whom were armed, as they burned pictures of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi in the flames, before egged into disposing of their surgical masks into the fire"

Capitol police chief and her Democratic bosses are lying to you all to hold our capital hostage

National Guard Capitol

National Guard on patrol at the US Capitol
My city has been occupied for more than eight weeks. Major thoroughfares blocked, thousands of armed soldiers, armored vehicles, seven-foot fencing, concertina wire.

What's it all for? An invading army across the Potomac? Rising far-right militias, ready to strike at any moment?

Nope. It's because when angry rioters and protesters attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, a Capitol Police force hobbled by its leadership's poor training regimens, nearly non-existent fitness standards, and fecklessness in the face of crisis was incapable of protecting the building or even shutting the big doors on time.

It's because those idiot rioters had — after months and years of left-wing riots here and across the country — finally given Democratic lawmakers and the corporate media the right-wing riot they always claimed was around the corner.

It's because panic porn and agitprop are useful tools when you're working as hard as you can to spread fear and distrust against the half of the country that disagrees with your policies. And it's because acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman is perfectly content to use her own men and women as political pawns and scapegoats to please her new Democratic bosses.

Comment: Update on troop deployment - at best a political optic based on no real threats:
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has approved a request to extend the presence of National Guard troops at the Capitol grounds for an additional two months, according to the Pentagon press secretary, John Kirby.
"Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III has approved a request by the US Capitol Police for continued National Guard support through May 23, 2021."
Kirby said nearly 2,300 National Guard troops will continue their deployment in the nation's capital, a 50 percent reduction of the current presence.

During this extended deployment, US defense officials will work with Capitol police to incrementally reduce the National Guard presence, if conditions allow, Kirby said.

The US Capitol Police last week asked the Defense Department to extend the deployment of National Guard troops in Washington DC due to potential threats from US domestic terror groups attacking lawmakers at the Capitol.

Fukushima radiation did not damage health of local people, UN says

Fukushima power station after Japan’s 2011 triple disaster. A spike in thyroid cancer among local children has been attributed to screening by ultrasound equipment.
Radiation caused by the nuclear meltdown in Fukushima a decade ago has not damaged the health of local people, according to a UN report.

Gillian Hirth, chairwoman of the UN's scientific committee on the effects of atomic radiation (Unscear), said that "no adverse health effects among Fukushima residents have been documented that could be directly attributed to radiation exposure from the accident" in March 2011.

Unscear said the latest findings supported a 2013 report on the health impact of radiation released after three reactors suffered meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

The latest report was released as Japan prepared to mark 10 years since a powerful earthquake triggered a tsunami that killed more than 18,000 people and triggered the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl a quarter of a century earlier. The incident forced the evacuation of about 160,000 people, many of whom have not returned to their homes 10 years later.

Concern over the potential health effects of the accident rose after reports of a high incidence of thyroid cancer in children living in Fukushima prefecture at the time of the disaster.

Comment: The Greenpeace report Fukushima Daiichi 2011-2021, Section 11, states:
As in previous years, the results of our November 2020 survey in the lifted evacuation areas of Iitate and Namie, radiation levels in areas determined by the Japanese government to be safe for return, remain too high for normal life to be considered possible without increased health risks to returning citizens. The forests of Fukushima remain long term sources of contamination and in our latest survey we measured variation in levels of radiation in zones around houses in both Iitate and Namie that cannot be explained by radioactive decay of Cs-137...

One decade after March 2011, we are in the early stages of the impact of this disaster...

The communication to the people of Japan and the wider world is that decontamination has been effective, completed and that radiation levels are safe. This is clearly false...

716 square kilometers of the seven municipalities that make up the Special Decontamination Area (SDA) have not had any decontamination efforts applied...only 123 square kilometers, or 15%, of the SDA was actually subject to any decontamination...

Where decontamination has been applied it has reduced radiation levels, but not consistently, and with wide variations.

The government of Japan is on a mission to erase from public memory the triple reactor meltdown and radioactive contamination of a large part of Japan.

Where's Biden hidin'? Even CNN begins asking questions, as President goes record time without press conference with Q&A

Joe Biden speaks to reporters in Wilmington, Delaware, November 19, 2020.
Joe Biden has gone longer without giving a press conference with questions and answers than any US president in modern history. Now the elation of his inauguration's worn off, even his allied media are beginning to wonder why.

Monday marked Joe Biden's 47th day in office, and also his 47th without appearing before the press to take questions. The president has sat down to several taped interviews, and has given brief soundbites to reporters at events, but not a single proper Q&A session has materialized.

He has gone longer without holding a press conference than any of his 15 most recent predecessors, all of whom faced the media within their first 33 days in office. Donald Trump waited 27 days, while Barack Obama - Biden's old boss - held his first after just 20 days.
