A protester holds a placard reading "Free media!" during a demonstration in defence of media freedom and against a proposed amendment to the country's broadcast media law regarding the share of foreign capital in Polish media, in Czestochowa, Poland August 10, 2021.

The European Commission on Thursday criticized a Polish bill limiting foreign ownership of media companies that has been passed by the country's lower house of parliament, saying it sent a negative signal.

"Media pluralism and diversity of opinions are what strong democracies welcome, not fight against," the Vice President of the European Union's executive, Vera Jourova, who is responsible for media freedom, said on Twitter. "The draft Polish broadcasting law sends a negative signal."

On Wednesday, Polish lawmakers passed a bill that would strengthen a ban on firms from outside the European Economic Area controlling Polish broadcasters.

The opposition in Warsaw says the bill aims to gag the news channel TVN24, which is owned by U.S.-based media group Discovery Inc and is critical of the right-wing nationalist government.

Comment: The European Commission apparently doesn't think anyone should be allowed to ban US propaganda.

Dr. Robert Malone, mRNA pioneer, says public health experts must check 'egos at the door,' adjust COVID policies to reality

Dr. Robert Malone urges public health officials to "check [their] egos at the door" and change their policies with the science regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Malone, an immunologist and epidemiologist who says he invented the mRNA technology that's used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, explained on the John Solomon Reports podcast on Monday that new mutant variants of COVID-19 "are able to bypass, to a significant extent, the protection afforded by the current vaccines."

With the immune systems of everyone who's vaccinated trained to fight the virus in the same way, "what that's going to do is create a setup where once we do have a fully functional viral escape mutant, there will be no barriers to it spreading rapidly through the human population and, basically, completely abrogating any benefits associated with the vaccines," he warned.

Arnold Schwarzenegger says "Hasta la vista" to anti-maskers as COVID-19 regulations return amid the Delta variant.

The "Terminator" film icon and former governor of California spoke via YouTube Wednesday to urge "schmucks" to follow the rules and get vaccinated to "protect your fellow Americans."

"There is a virus here — it kills people," Schwarzenegger said, "and the only way we prevent it is get vaccinated, get masks, do social distancing, washing your hands all the time, and not just to think about 'Well, my freedom is being kind of disturbed here.' No, screw your freedom."

Comment: Another attempt at celebrity influencing.

Speaking to channel ERT, Nikos Kokkalas, a spokesman of the Ministry of Shipping confirmed media reports that a vessel, believed to be a yacht, carrying 17 passengers sank on Thursday morning. All passengers are now safe.

According to ERT, Kokkalas said the passengers themselves had raised a distress signal and had time to put their life jackets on before the vessel sank. A speedboat was first at the scene and collected passengers from the sea.

Australian capital Canberra goes into snap lockdown over ONE 'case' of Covid, first in more than a year

BBC
Wed, 11 Aug 2021 12:00 UTC

The Australian capital Canberra is going into a snap one-week lockdown after recording its first case of Covid-19 in more than a year.

It will come into effect at 17:00 local time on Thursday (07:00 GMT).

The lockdown was called for the whole of the Australian Capital Territory - home to around 400,000 people - because authorities do not know how the infected person caught the virus.

Comment: Is that really a valid reason to lockdown nearly half a million people?

Comment: That less than a quarter of Australians are vaccinated likely reflects their skepticism towards the experimental injections themselves and the whole manufactured crisis; is that why the Australian establishment is taking such extreme measures against its people? Australia's MILITARY enforcing lockdown, helicopters soar overheard blaring warnings, gov't wants to inject 80% of population before border block lifted

Delta Variants, PCR Tests and Cognitive Dissonance

To paraphrase a famous quip from then Presidential candidate Bill Clinton in a debate with his Republican opponent in 1992, "It's the vaccine, stupid!" The daily mainstream media and government narrative we are being inundated all over the world with is confusing to most, to put it mildly. So-called Delta or "Indian" variant is spreading like chicken pox we are told, but not what that "spreading" means. Unvaccinated are accused of spreading COVID-19 to those supposedly vaccinated. The USA, UK and EU are leading this confusing and deadly narrative.

Children are told by political appointees to get the jab despite official recommendation from WHO and national medical authorities such as STIKO in Germany to wait. PCR tests that define policy, but which do not tell anything about a person's having a specific virus, are treated as a "Gold Standard" of infection. Yet as of this writing not one lab has successfully isolated purified samples of the alleged SARS-CoV-2 virus said to cause the COVID-19 disease. How can PCR tests be calibrated if the claimed pathogen is not clear? If we take a step back it becomes clear that we are being subjected to a deliberate worldwide operation in cognitive dissonance whose intended consequences for the future of our civilization are not being told to us.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom snapped last week while talking to reporters, ranting that everyone outside the Golden State is "b----ing" about it.

Newsom, who is facing a closer-than-anticipated recall election, spoke to the Sacramento Bee in an interview last week in which he grew angry at critics of California.

Clips from interview have since gained steam online, where they have been making the rounds on social media.

American Express CRT-style 'diversity training' tells employees capitalism is based on 'systemic racism' - reports

RT
Thu, 12 Aug 2021 17:50 UTC

A racial sensitivity seminar held by American Express reportedly told employees that capitalism is predicated on exploitation and "systemic racism," while white workers were urged to acknowledge their "unconscious" bigotry.

A trove of internal documents published by journalist Christopher Rufo on Wednesday purported to show a diversity training course put on by the financial services giant last year, largely centered on promoting "racial equity and progress."

Trafficking heavily in concepts such as "white privilege," "microaggressions" and "intersectionality," the course informs white staffers of their duty to be dedicated anti-racist "allies," which includes reflecting on their own inborn racism and deferring to people of color so as not to "speak over" them.

Child abuse: Israel requires Covid tests for children aged three and up

Israel is to require Covid tests from next week for children as young as three to enter schools, swimming pools, hotels or gyms as infections surge despite extensive adult vaccinations.

Israel already required children aged 12 and over to show a Green Pass re-introduced late last month showing a person's vaccination and testing status and whether they had recovered from Covid.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said from next Wednesday the state would fund unlimited tests for children aged three to 11. The Magen David Adom emergency service said it had opened 120 rapid antigen testing centres nationwide.
