The new Archbishop of Dublin, Dermot Farrell, has reinforced the government's current ban on acts of worship, by even forbidding priests in his diocese from privately distributing Holy Communion to parishioners, unless as part of a funeral or wedding.

In a statement released Thursday March 4, Farrell added the weight of further ecclesiastical prohibition to the already present government prohibits on worship, he declared:
"In the interest of health and safety priests and parishes ought not to succumb to requests to distribute Holy Communion before or after Mass, in or outside churches."

"Drive-in Masses are not permitted as no gatherings of people outdoors or indoors are permitted. Holy Communion can only be distributed in the church to mourners attending a Funeral Mass, to those celebrating the Sacrament of Marriage and to the essential ministers that make celebration of Mass online possible, (e.g., Minister of the Word, Sacristan)."
Any arrangements for the reception of First Holy Communion or Confirmation, would have to wait until the Irish Government decreed to diocese that it was "safe" to hold such events. Farrell also ordered his priests to perform the sacrament of Baptism, "only in exceptional circumstances, that is in danger of death."

Comment: Stripping the spiritual and psychological framework that supports humanity damages a deeper structure that binds people together - perhaps intentionally purposed for things to come.

Officer from Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command also suspected of indecent exposure
The police officer detained over the disappearance of Sarah Everard has been arrested on suspicion of murder, as searches continue at two locations in Kent.

The man, who has not officially been named, is aged in his 40s and has been serving in the Metropolitan Police Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command.

He was arrested on Tuesday evening on suspicion of kidnap, and has now been further arrested on suspicion of murder and a separate allegation of indecent exposure.

Comment: UPDATE 11 March 2021

The copper has been named as Wayne Couzens, 48, and he's already 'suffered injury' in his jail cell - officially, 'self-inflicted'. One other piece of interesting information is that he had just left work guarding the US embassy the night Ms. Everard was killed.

She is perhaps not the best known member of the Royal Family.

But the Duchess of Kent has nevertheless remained a firm favourite, with the emergence of details about her secret double life away from royal duties helping to further endear her to the public.

Married to the the Queen's cousin Prince Edward, The Duke of Kent for 50 years, she stepped back from formal royal duties in the 1990s, and in 2002 wrote to The Queen to rescind the 'Her Royal Highness' title granted to her upon marriage.

It stands in stark contrast to the more recent departure of another royal Duchess, Meghan Markle, whose interview with Oprah Winfrey has rocked the establishment.

Comment: Heads-up, Meghan!

An Italian flag flutters in front of Piazza Navona in Rome as the city remain under Covid-19 lockdown. Doses of the Sputnik V arrive at the airport of Buenos Aires.
Italy has signed an agreement with Russia to launch the production of the Sputnik V vaccine, with first batches expected to come out of an Italian plant as early as June. This would make it the first EU nation to produce the jab.

The deal was signed between the Russia Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), which bankrolls the production and distribution of Sputnik V, and Italy's Adienne Srl company, the Italian-Russian Chamber of Commerce (CCIR), which facilitated the negotiations, said in a statement on Monday.

Adienne Srl is located in the northern Italian province of Monza and Brianza and is part of a major Swiss group, Adienne Pharma & Biotech. The company was the first to propose signing the strategic cooperation deal with the RDIF, and the talks continued for several months after that, CCIR said.

Comment: Note also that countries dealing with Sputnik V are allowed to produce the vaccine themselves, meanwhile those dealing in the experimental RNA technologies are suspiciously guarded: The Inanity of RNA Vaccines For COVID-19

Protesters have occupied three of France's national theaters in opposition to coronavirus shutdowns, as cultural spaces have remained closed since the country's lockdown began in October.

The theater occupations come amid growing anger in the country over the continued closure of cultural sites due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, with Pau Theater, Colline Theater and the National Theater of Strasbourg invaded by protesting students.

Comment: While Macron was initially successful at quelling the Yellow Vest's economic protests with the excuse of the pandemic restrictions, they appear to be returning, with the added fuel of the social damage wrought by those same restrictions

The news website BuzzFeed has laid off 47 HuffPost workers in the US, the majority of them journalists, and closed down HuffPost's Canadian operation, reportedly without warning to staff, less than a month after purchasing the rival company.

Jonah Peretti, BuzzFeed's chief executive, announced the move in a virtual staff meeting on Tuesday, as the company also warned it could trim operations in the UK and Australia.

The job cuts amount to nearly 30% of HuffPost's US-based journalists, at a time when most news outlets across the country are shrinking or facing closure.

Comment: There was sympathy for the individual journalists who lost their livelihoods in a field where getting employment is difficult.


However, the Twitterati wasted none on the shrinking of HuffPost outlets, which many viewed as a purveyor of woke politics:

Hospital-owning Frist family 'made a killing' during pandemic, with wealth soaring by $8.1 billion

The 660 U.S. billionaires have seen their combined wealth skyrocket by over $1 trillion during the coronavirus pandemic.
"HCA and the Frists join the ranks of pandemic profiteers that have seen their fortunes soar during a time of national tragedy."

As the Covid-19 crisis continues to widen the yawning chasm between the super-rich and everyone else in the United States, a new analysis published Monday by the Institute for Policy Studies reveals Tennessee's billionaire Frist family — the leading shareholders in the nation's largest private healthcare conglomorate — has seen its combined wealth more than double since last March.

The IPS policy brief, entitled Frist Family Pandemic Fortunes (pdf), shows the family of Thomas F. Frist Jr. — who in 1968 founded Healthcare Corporation of America (HCA) along with his father Thomas F. Frist Sr. and Jack C. Massey — has seen its combined personal fortune soar from $7.5 billion on March 18, 2020 to $15.6 billion on March 8, 2021, an increase of 108%.

Comment: The author of this text goes with the official narrative about the pandemic and the number of people who died from Covid. The reality is that in 2009 the WHO changed the definition of a pandemic so they could manipulate and enable the Big-Pharma to sell more vaccines, among other reasons. Officially according to CDC the death rate is so low that you have a bigger probability of dying in a car accident than being killed by this virus. The official numbers of people who died from this virus are unreliable. All people who died from not receiving medical care due to lockdowns and "with Covid" are in this group according to the instructions that hospitals received from CDC. Add to that the number of "asymptomatic" cases and false positives, and you have a statistical nightmare.

FILE PHOTOS.
Hounded by a mob of enraged netizens, Mumford & Sons banjo player Winston Marshall has retracted an endorsement of conservative journalist Andy Ngo's book on Antifa, drawing accusations of caving in to "bullies."

"Over the past few days I have come to better understand the pain caused by the book I endorsed," the British musician wrote in a tweet on Tuesday night. "I have offended not only a lot of people I don't know, but also those closest to me, including my bandmates and for that I am truly sorry."

"As a result of my actions I am taking time away from the band to examine my blindspots... Please know that I realize how my endorsements have the potential to be viewed as approvals of hateful, divisive behavior."

Comment: Andy Ngo who wrote the book has direct experience of Antifa supporters:
Ngo himself has been attacked by Antifa militants before, and was left with a brain injury after a mugging and beating in 2019.

Tucker Carlson takes NYT reporter Taylor Lorenz (inset) to task
The New York Times' Taylor Lorenz blasted Fox News' Tucker Carlson for airing a segment that featured a widely-available picture of her face, insinuating it was part of the harassment she claims has "destroyed" her life.

Lorenz earned widespread attention - and criticism - this week after saying she deals with "deep trauma" stemming from "online harassment."

"It's not an exaggeration to say that the harassment and smear campaign I've had to endure over the past year has destroyed my life. No one should have to go through this," she tweeted on Monday, in commemoration of International Women's Day.

A high school football coach who led a Massachusetts school district's team for nearly a decade was fired in early 2021 after he raised concerns about the use of critical race theory in his 7th-grade daughter's curriculum.

David Flynn, with the help of Judicial Watch, filed a federal lawsuit in February seeking damages from Dedham Public School (DPS) administrators including the superintendent, high school principal, and high school athletic director for violating his First Amendment rights to speak out.

The lawsuit explains that Flynn was released from his position just a few months after talking with his 7th-grade daughter's history teacher, principal, Superintendent Michael J. Welch, and three more people on the Dedham School Committee about the quiet changes to the middle school's "World Geography and Ancient History I" curriculum without notification or review by the parents.
