Australian police have already issued hundreds of fines in the wake of mass anti-lockdown rallies, and are looking for more info about the violators, as state leaders condemn protesters for endangering other people's lives.

In just 24 hours after Saturday's mass protest, police in New South Wales issued 510 penalty infringement notices, Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys said, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. He vowed that the authorities will continue to investigate the acts of "violent, filthy, risky" behavior.

A strike force is set up right at this moment that continues to ask for people to bring forward any video files or telephone footage that they have of that sort of behaviour.

NSW Police Minister David Elliott earlier announced that at least 22 veteran detectives will be working as part of a special unit to identify and track down people who attended the rallies.

Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of French cities for the second weekend in a row to protest against health passes and mandatory vaccination for medics. In Paris, rallies ended up in scuffles with police.

Law enforcement officers in the French capital used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowds as the situation on the streets spiraled out of control during the massive demonstrations provoked by the government's plans to extend health passes for public places and enforce mandatory vaccination for certain jobs, including health workers.

Comment: French media downplaying the protests:

An Israel Defense Forces soldier is attempting to sue Ben & Jerry's for withdrawing its ice cream from sale in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territory, arguing that he's been deprived from his "preferred" dessert.

The complaint was filed by the 20-year-old soldier's mother, Adv. Orly Ben Ami, on his behalf, and it claims the man will be unfairly denied the ice cream while on military patrol in the occupied territories, Ynetnews reported.

"The Ben & Jerry's brand ice cream is his preferred one," read the complaint, which claimed his "military service requires him to have long and frequent drives in the territories, and often time he purchased ice cream in different businesses."

Comment: Who knew ice cream would be such a great BDS publicity tool in the fight against Israel's apartheid state?

Anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination activists rallied in multiple British cities against the vaccine passport initiative. In London, one of the speakers triggered a major controversy by likening NHS staff to Nazi doctors.

Thousands of people gathered at Trafalgar Square in London on Saturday for the 'Freedom Rally', to protest the restrictive measures introduced amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Demonstrators flooded almost the entire square, holding placards and banners reading: "No to forced testing" and "No to forced vaccination."

Comment: It is clear that many people across the globe are NOT happy with the prospect of mandatory vaccination, health passports, and the progressive move toward a medical police state. Over the past few days, there have been protests in hundreds of cities:

Connecticut university system throws professor under the bus for challenging 1619 Project

Leaders conspicuously left out Jay Bergman's academic freedom and tenure rights in responding to controversy.

Central Connecticut State University history professor Jay Bergman tried to convince his state's public schools to exclude the 1619 Project from their history curricula, questioning its sweeping claims that "white racism" drove America's independence from Britain.

At least one superintendent among more than 200 he contacted objected to Bergman's efforts, as did several of his history colleagues and other CCSU faculty. His department chair scolded Bergman for using his university email address and affiliation, and another professor demanded his formal censure, according to an investigation by NBC Connecticut.

Comment: The comments of Turley above are particularly on point - professors are encouraged to use their titles and to speak on controversial issues, so the complaints leveled against Bergman are obviously motivated by the fact that they don't like what he had to say.

Brave Books' debut "Elephants Are Not Birds" is an unapologetic rebuke of transgender acceptance and the growing number of young people identifying as trans, says author Ashley St. Clair.

A new conservative publishing house wants to get the "wokeness" out of bedtime.

Launching this week, Brave Books will focus exclusively on stories for kids, and offers parents "a conservative alternative to the current cultural activism that our children are being taught in schools, in the entertainment they watch and the books they read," according to their website.

Company CEO Trent Talbot, who had his first child a little more than a year ago, conceived of Brave Books when, he said, he started to notice "that there is a real war going on for the hearts and minds of our kids. And everywhere I looked was propaganda," the Montgomery, Texas-based dad told The Post.

Federal prosecutors are branding non-violent Jan 6 defendants as 'terrorists' to pursue harsher sentences

Federal prosecutors are attempting to pursue harsher sentences for those arrested for non-violent crimes in connection with the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol by branding them as terrorists while acknowledging their actions don't meet the legal definition of terrorism.

Court documents first flagged by independent journalist Michael Tracey from the case of Paul Hodgkins, the first Jan. 6 rioter convicted of a felony to be sentenced, show U.S. Attorney Mona Sedky saying that "we are framing this in the context of domestic terrorism," even though his actions do not meet any legal definition of terrorism.

"January 6th was an act of domestic terrorism," Sedky said at Hodgkins' sentencing hearing. "And we concede that Mr. Hodgkins himself is not under the legal definition a domestic terrorist, we're not assuming he is. But he was part and parcel of an act of domestic terrorism that was going on around him, and that context is relevant when the Court is deciding how to sentence him."

China seethes at NBC for showing 'incomplete' map missing Taiwan during Olympic opening ceremony

Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials are furious with NBC Universal for showing an "incomplete" map of the country during Friday's opening ceremony at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

As Chinese athletes entered the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, the NBC broadcast displayed a map of China that did not include Taiwan or the South China Sea as recognized parts of Chinese territory. The CCP considers both territories to be a rightful part of their country, despite that claim being disputed by various members of the international community.

Jabs under duress: How Moscow's mayor is coercing compliance

With Moscow's hospitals facing unprecedented strain not seen since six months ago, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin has done away with antiquated notions of bodily autonomy and free commerce in order to save the city. Please clap.

Muscovites collectively breathed a sigh of relief when Sobyanin announced last month that due to rising Covid hospitalizations, millions of residents would no longer be trusted with making personal medical decisions for themselves. In sectors such as transport, hospitality and leisure, businesses would need to meet a 60% vaccination quota among employees or risk exorbitant fines.

A few days later, the mayor announced the creation of now-defunct 'Covid-free' zones for double-dosed VIPs and Covid-conscious residents: Under the short-lived scheme, those who were fully vaccinated, or had recovered from the virus over the past 6 months, or were able to produce a negative PCR test from the last 72 hours, were eligible to receive a QR code granting them exclusive access to indoor seating in bars and restaurants. Those without these health IDs — the lepers — were banished to outdoor seating areas.

When he unveiled this pioneering public health policy last month, Sobyanin had insisted that the digital health passes would be "necessary to keep people alive." But starting from July 19 they will no longer be required. They never really caught on and, as a result, nearly 200 businesses in Moscow closed in under 3 weeks.

That cop deserves the harshest sentence and the other cops should be clamoring for it.
