City of Hong Kong to Covid-test its entire population of 7.5 million

Specialists from mainland China will arrive in Hong Kong to aid in the citywide testing of one million residents per day
Hong Kong plans to test its entire population for Covid-19 and is currently in talks with mainland China regarding the details of the operation, which would require assistance from outside the city, Sing Tao Daily, a local media outlet, reported on Wednesday.

The city of roughly 7.5 million people intends to test one million residents a day, the newspaper said, adding that those who refuse to be tested would face a fine of $1,280. The campaign is expected to start in early March. Specialists from mainland China will be sent to the city to assist local medics, the report added.


Comment: Meaning that the wealthy that don't want to participate will just opt for a fine.


Hong Kong officials have not yet issued any official statements on the issue, and they have not commented on the media reports. The news comes as the city struggles to contain a major disease outbreak. New infection numbers in Hong Kong have been hitting records since early February after months without any new cases at all.

Comment: Since it's unlikely that those in the upper echelons truly believe that Covid is a threat, one wonder just exactly what this exercise is really intended to achieve? Could it perhaps be partly related to the Olympics that are still underway in Beijing? Preparation in the event of a real crisis?

bank run
Days after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he would invoke emergency orders to crack down on demonstrators by freezing their bank accounts, five major Canadian banks went offline on Wednesday night, as customers reported their funds were unavailable, according to technology website Bleeping Computer.

Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), BMO (Bank of Montreal), Scotiabank, TD Bank Canada, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) were all hit with unexplainable outages on Wednesday evening. Users began reporting issues with banks around 1600-1700 ET, Downdector data showed.

Canadian Twitter users reported they couldn't access their funds at the ATMs. One user took a photo of an error message at one of RBC's ATMs that read, "Tap transactions aren't available for this card."

Comment: Considering how desperate Trudeau (and those who back him) is to clamp down on what is one of the best organized and most thought out demonstrations against Totalitarian Covid mandates to date - it wouldn't surprise us to learn that they were behind this - in an effort to instill the chaos required to bring about their version of "order".

CBC and CTV News journalists have reportedly been contacting people who donated to the truckers' freedom convoy in an attempt to "understand why they support this."

CTV News reporter Graham Richardson said on Tuesday that he has spent the last two days calling people "who have donated to the trucker convoy," including a former MP, business owners, health care professionals, and a property developer.

He likely has the information because of a cyberattack that was executed on crowdfunding site GiveSendGo, that left the site shut down for a number of days, and made a list of donors publicly available.

Comment: Freeland is responding in the nastiest way possible: Financial blackmail and confiscation.

Canada's Justice Minister David Lametti has told supporters of Donald Trump who donated to the ongoing Freedom Convoy trucker protests that they "should be worried" about having their bank accounts frozen. Lametti said his government is considering extending emergency powers brought in to break up the demonstrations.

In a CTV interview on Wednesday, Lametti was asked:
"A lot of folks say, 'Look, I just don't like your vaccine mandates and I donated to this, now it's illegal, should I be worried that the bank can freeze my account?' What's your answer to that?"
The justice minister responded:
"Well, I think if you are a member of a pro-Trump movement who's donating hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of dollars to this kind of thing, then you oughta be worried."

Comment: Supporters of Donald Trump - not supporters of Joe Biden - were threatened with confiscation.
The authorities in Canada have told cryptocurrency exchanges to cease transactions with addresses they said were linked to the ongoing 'Freedom Convoy' by the anti-vaccine mandate truckers.

The order from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) began circulating on social media early on Wednesday, with the local media saying that its authenticity has been confirmed. Several major Canadian crypto exchanges also acknowledged receiving the relevant guidance and the list from law enforcement.

A total of 34 electronic wallets have been blacklisted, including 29 Bitcoin addresses, and several addresses in other crypto currencies like Ethereum, Litecoin, and others.

The order reportedly stated that
"any information about a transaction or proposed transaction in respect of these address(es), is to be disclosed immediately to the Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police."
The backers of the convoy have already donated 21 BTC worth around $1 million dollars to the cause.

The protestors turned to cryptocurrencies after mainstream crowdfunding platform GoFundMe blocked them earlier in February, and the Canadian government froze $8 million gathered online to continue rallying.
Canadians and those who support the Freedom Convoy, have had a top down, crash course in government suppression and retaliation. Never forget.

US housing bubble about to burst, leading economist warns

Higher interest rates could trigger collapse!

The US real estate market could crash this year, leading economist Desmond Lachman predicted in an interview with Nikkei Asia on Tuesday. Adjusted for inflation, house prices in America are now higher than they were 15 years ago, before the last housing bust, he added.

Lachman, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and former deputy director at the International Monetary Fund, explained that last year the US government was buying large quantities of bonds, which created an equity price bubble, and led to "equity valuations at levels only seen once before in the last hundred years."

According to Lachman, the trigger for the real estate market collapse would be a hike in interest rates, which is expected to be introduced by the US Federal Reserve in March in an attempt to curb soaring inflation. He said:
"Those bubbles in the equity and the housing markets, they've been premised on the assumption that interest rates would stay low forever. So, as soon as the Fed starts raising interest rates in an aggressive way, there's the real risk that it bursts the asset price bubbles and that could, then, move us into a recession."

A Canadian self-proclaimed 'cyberterrorist' boasted in a video this week about hacking fundraising platform GiveSendGo and releasing the details of those who donated to the protesting truckers in Ottawa.

In a live TikTok meltdown, Aubrey 'Kirtaner' Cottle bragged about being behind the GiveSendGo hack and other cyberattacks, including those which targeted alternative social networks Gab, Parler, and Truth Social.

"Nothing scares me. Nothing. Yes, I doxed the truckers. I did it, it was me. I hacked GiveSendGo, baby! And I'd do it again! I'd do it a hundred times!" screamed Cottle in the video. "What are you going to do? What are you going to do to me, huh?"

Comment: Note the warped personality types displayed by the hacker above, and the official below, both who are seemingly working to destroy Canada's freedom movement:

On Monday, a North Carolina dad spoke at a local school board meeting urging parents to "take the wheel back" in their children education, and commended the school board for passing a resolution last summer that banned critical race theory teachings in the district.

Brian Echevarria is running for District 73 in the North Carolina House of Representatives, and one of the main tenets of his campaign is to stop critical race theory indoctrination in schools and the reinstitution of parental rights as regards the "upbringing and education of their children."

"One of the things I wanted to thank you for tonight was the resolution, the nondiscrimination resolution, the CRT deal, because it's happening, and as a parent, I speak to other parents, there's a few things that we don't want," he said, noting a resolution that was passed by the board over the summer.

Elon Musk's Neuralink allegedly subjected monkeys to 'extreme suffering'

Elon Musk's brain-chip company Neuralink is facing a legal challenge from an animal rights group that has accused the company of subjecting monkeys to "extreme suffering" during years of gruesome experiments.

Neuralink's brain chips — which Musk claims will one day make humans hyper-intelligent and let paralyzed people walk again — were implanted in monkeys' brains during a series of tests at the University of California, Davis from 2017 to 2020, according to a compliant from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine filed with the the US Department of Agriculture on Thursday.

In one example, a monkey was allegedly found missing some of its fingers and toes "possibly from self-mutilation or some other unspecified trauma." The monkey was later killed during a "terminal procedure," the group said in a copy of the complaint shared with The Post.

Ex-RAF expat dive instructor dies after being bitten by shark at Sydney beach

A swimmer has died after being bitten by a shark at a beach in Sydney, Australia, authorities have said.

New South Wales (NSW) Police said in a statement Wednesday that emergency services were called to Buchan Point, Malabar -- where the Little Bay Beach is located -- at around 4:35 p.m. local time "after receiving a report that a shark attacked a swimmer in the water."

According to the statement, officers who attended the scene, alongside Marine Area Command and Surf Life Saving NSW, found "human remains" in the water.

Four ambulance crews and a rescue helicopter with a critical care doctor and paramedic were dispatched to the area, NSW Ambulance told CNN in a statement.

Comment: The swimmer killed has been identified as 35-year-old British ex-pat Simon Nellist, a diving instructor. Sky News reports:
Simon Nellist was training for a charity ocean swim when he was attacked from below by the creature at Buchan Point, Malabar about 16km (10 miles) south of the city.

He was reportedly an experienced ocean swimmer and friends said he "loved the water".

It is believed Mr Nellist was a British expatriate living in the Wolli Creek area of Sydney and was engaged to be married.

The Malabar Magic Ocean Swim has since been cancelled "out of respect" for Mr Nellist.
The Daily Mail stated that Nellist was "against the idea of bringing in protection for swimmers because of the risk to wildlife".
simon Nellist
Mr Nellist said on Facebook six months ago: 'Shark net and drum lines protect no one and kill all kinds of marine life each year'
They went on to say:
The attack sparked panic on the beach, which was packed with dozens of swimmers, paddle boarders and rock fishermen who watched in horror at what was unfolding. But authorities are not believed to be planning to kill the shark, and will instead chase it away from the mainland if it is picked up by drum lines set up at the scene.

[...]

Lawrence Chlebeck, from the US-based Humane Society International group, said: 'It's very unusual to see a shark attack a human like that. Normally a bite is not fatal. Normally they bite something to figure out what it is.

'Once they realise it's a person and not a normal prey item, they take off. The vast majority of shark bites are a 'one and done' occurrence. This is a very unique, and unfortunately tragic, situation.'

'Automatic check-in' function to be added to Hong Kong LeaveHomeSafe App

leavehomesafe app
After the update is rolled out, the app will be able to automatically check-in when users enter or exit premises that require a digital record.
An automatic check-in function will be added to the LeaveHomeSafe app, so that users can have their whereabouts recorded without scanning a QR code, according to Secretary for Innovation and Technology Alfred Sit Wing-hang.

At a Legislative Council panel meeting on Monday, Sit said the bureau is currently improving the LeaveHomeSafe app.

Previously, the app required users to hold their devices up to a QR code to record their visit. After the update is rolled out, the app will be able to automatically check-in when users enter or exit premises that require a digital record - such as shopping malls and restaurants.

In response to lawmaker Peter Koon Ho-ming's question as to whether real-name registration will be required on the LeaveHomeSafe app, Sit said the "vaccine pass" to launch on February 24 will serve a similar function, since vaccination records are registered under citizens' real names.
